Cheers:
Cheers to the organizers of the Black Lives Matter protest in Estevan on Sunday for what was a peaceful event that brought a variety of people from the community together, including the police.
Cheers to the City of Estevan for spraying the dandelions in the parks around the city.
Cheers to the reopening of restaurants, gyms and many other personal services as part of the Re-Open Saskatchewan Plan. Hopefully swimming pools and playground structures won’t be far behind.
Cheers to those who have continued to get out and exercise, even though many of the businesses are open again. It was good to see so many exercising early in the pandemic, but now it’s important to keep walking and running.
Cheers to Robert Godfrey for the Quarantine Karaoke that he was doing each week. Too bad it’s come to an end, but he brought a lot of levity at a time when it was needed.
Cheers to the high school and post-secondary graduates this year for the way in which they have handled the past three months. They put the word “class” in Class of 2020.
Jeers:
Jeers to people who make golf tee times for four people but never cancel a spot when someone in the group isn’t coming to play. Other people would like to play.
Jeers to the folks disrupting the peaceful protest in solidarity with Black Lives Matter at the Court House. Cursing and yelling at people you don’t agree with doesn’t get your point across. It just shows how mean you are.
Jeers to the Saskatchewan Party provincial government and to our MLA for not moving forward with building a new nursing home in Estevan after the money has been raised for the local share. Nobody should have to live in the conditions of this nursing home.
