Cheers:
Cheers to local merchant Jenny Joans for waiving the cost on a toque that was being purchased by a cancer patient. A very thoughtful gesture.
Cheers to all the Estevan Mercury carriers. They deliver us a free community paper every week. They deserve some extra recognition for their efforts during this holiday season.
Cheers to anyone involved with the Joyful Pathway Project, putting up decorations on the pathway between King Street and Wellock Road. The Christmas decorating has been enjoyed very much during walks this week. It was a wonderful display and very festive.
Cheers to all the Christmas light displays around the city. It's so nice to see so many people bringing joy to these sad times we are having right now.
Cheers to the Estevan Regional Nursing Secret Santa, from the staff to the residents.
Cheers to the St. Joseph’s Healthcare Auxiliary for their efforts to continue to raise money for the long-term beds at the hospital. It’s amazing how much money they can raise, even during a pandemic.
Jeers:
Jeers to the landowners who feel they must start a fire and burn flax straw, sloughs, etc., with our dry and windy conditions. And we finally get some nice days but can't go outside because all you can smell is smoke.
Jeers to people making such a big fuss over wearing a mask. What, you have to put one on to go in a store for 15 minutes? Such a hardship. Many people in other countries not only have to worry about the pandemic but have to worry about how far they have to walk to get fresh water and find food.
Jeers to motorists who take up two parking stalls at once. It’s Christmas time. People are out shopping. Don’t make it even harder to find a place to park.
