Cheers and Jeers for June 4

Cheers: Cheers to the businesses and services that will be reopening soon. It will be nice to go to the gym, sit in a restaurant and take in our empty bottles and cans for recycling once again.

Cheers to the United Way Estevan for all it has been doing to help people during the past three months, including letters for seniors, grants for organizations and the groceries for people in need.

 

Cheers to those who have been working hard to get campgrounds in great shape for the start of camping season. It’s one of those activities that will provide a distraction from the challenges we’re facing.

 

Cheers to the students from Pleasantdale School who entered the People’s Choice Art Show that was offered online. You can tell they put in a lot of time, even though there wasn’t a traditional art show.

 

Cheers to everybody who has supported the Salvation Army’s Food Bank during these tough times, because more people need their services than ever.

 

Cheers to all of the miners out there, not only for the work that you do on the job, but for your efforts to enhance the community through donating to causes and volunteering with organizations.

 

Jeers:

Jeers to people who park their industrial vehicles on residential streets.

 

Jeers to shoppers who don’t pay attention to the arrows that are clearly marked on the floors of grocery stores and other retail businesses. And if you get caught, don’t complain about the measures being a joke.

 

Jeers to those who want to see coal mining come to an end. It’s a big part of the economy, not only for Estevan, but the region as a whole.
