Cheers and Jeers for Jan. 3

Cheers to all of the people who supported the Estevan Salvation Army prior to Christmas. It’s great to see the food bank’s shelves well-stocked heading into 2020.

Cheers to those who were working on Christmas Day, such as police officers, nurses and paramedics, who sacrificed time with their families to ensure that essential services were fulfilled.

Cheers to the City of Estevan’s leisure services division for organizing the Twinkle Skate before Christmas. Affinity Place looked great for all of the participants.

Cheers to Pete Sereggela with the Tower Café for preparing and serving the food for the Warm Welcome Kitchen’s Christmas Eve community supper, and for helping so many people have a good Christmas dinner and socializing.

Cheers to those who did their Boxing Day shopping locally, and supported businesses in the community rather than heading to Regina or Minot.

Cheers to everybody who has been “paying it forward” and doing what they can to show generosity to others in the community in the past few weeks.

Cheers to seeing Santa Claus riding around Estevan on a motorcycle on Dec. 24. It’s great to see this annual tradition continue in the community.

 

Jeers to the people who complain about everything. Try having a positive attitude once in a while. You will feel so much better about yourself. And others will actually like to be around you.

Jeers to Oxbow Prairie Horizon School for their Christmas pageant this year. It’s great to encourage kids to recycle and be environmentally friendly, but it’s not a good idea to have a show that encourages people to turn off the pumps and leave the oil in the ground.
