Cheers and Jeers for Feb. 8

Cheers to the young boys out selling pizzas as a fundraiser to help get them to an out of town hockey tournament. It’s nice to see them out working for it and not just expecting their parents to pay for it.

Cheers to the city for their work in clearing snow from the streets after this week’s accumulations. The roads were pretty easy to navigate.

Cheers to the Estevan Fire Rescue Service for twice tending to an apartment smoke alarm in the morning of Feb. 3. One of the calls was at 3:30 a.m.

Cheers to the Souris Valley Museum and Southeast Newcomer Services for organizing the fun winter heritage carnival on the weekend.

Cheers to the Estevan Arts Council for bringing the Ladom Ensemble to Estevan. They play a great variety of music.

 

Jeers to seeing Christmas lights on in February. Christmas was over more than six weeks ago.

Jeers to all the people that run red lights at the intersection of 13th Avenue and King Street. The city police should set up a red light camera and give out tickets. Estevan could have its debt paid off in no time.

Jeers to motorists who park right in the middle of crosswalks, especially crosswalks located in a school zone. They are there for the safety of pedestrians, not for your parking convenience.

Jeers to a guy in the 600-block of George Street who seems to think that because he shovels his driveway in the dark, that no one notices him shovelling onto the street.

Jeers to the unshovelled sidewalks that still abound in the community following the snow earlier this week.
