Cheers:
Cheers to the Estevan Leisure Centre and its staff for having the virtual fitness classes on Zoom during these COVID times.
Cheers to the return of baseball in the community. It’s great to see minor ball teams and Saskota Baseball League teams taking to the field.
Cheers to the churches that have been opening up again, allowing their members to come together and get out of the house, even if people can’t shake hands and hug.
Cheers to having swimming pools open again, whether it be at the Estevan Leisure Centre, or the outdoor pools that are located in smaller communities.
Cheers to the Estevan Mercury for the coupon book that they are offering in the community this summer. Lots of great deals to be had, and they’re for items that people would actually purchase.
Cheers to the members of the Estevan Police Service who supplied gift cards to kids at the skate park who were wearing helmets while using their skateboards, scooters and bicycles.
Jeers:
Jeers to the person in a recent edition of the paper who criticized the police for continuing to do their job in tough economical times by handing out tickets. Be grateful to our police for continuing to protect us at all times.
Jeers to the fact that the Churchill Playpark’s wading pool did not open this summer. Kids and parents in the central part of the city miss it.
Jeers to the motorists who will drive through an intersection when a pedestrian is already walking through it. Are these drivers that reckless, or do they have no qualms about running somebody over?
