Cheers:
Cheers to the person who rounded up the blue bin for 303 Third Avenue East in Lampman after the windstorm.
Cheers to SaskPower crews. Late night calls in 100 kilometre per hour winds make these guys heroes. They did a great job getting power back to the community after the storm. It took longer in some areas than others, but it was such a great thing to have lighting and heating back.
Cheers to all of those who helped out with cleanup following the storm by helping their neighbours remove branches and tidy up properties.
Cheers to Dr. Mark Wahba for his quick thinking that saved people’s lives in Saskatoon. A former Estevan resident, he’s a fine representative of our community.
Cheers to the Estevan Curling Club for having practices for people 18 years of age and under. It might not seem like much to some, but for the kids, they’re happy to be back on the ice.
Cheers to the resumption of band and choral programs in the South East Cornerstone Public School Division. They were definitely missed during the first semester.
Jeers:
Jeers to all the food establishments and stores that are not doing proper cleaning before and after serving customers. Maybe they would smarten up after a boycott.
Jeers to anyone who complained about how long it took to restore power or phone service following the storm. The workers were out in howling winds. Questioning them is very disrespectful.
Jeers to the government for saying there won’t be organized hockey games for several more weeks, with no games likely until the end of March. Yet there are all sorts of things we can still do that are riskier than hockey and other team sports.
