Cheers:
Cheers to all drivers who stopped on King Street and Souris Avenue North when a woman’s little dog got away. A very special thank you to the woman who stopped and helped the dog’s owner catch the dog and ensure they crossed the street safely.
Cheers to the Estevan Mercury for saluting the women of Estevan this month. It’s wonderful to see all of the women from the different sectors of the community.
Cheers to the resumption of in-person learning for all students at the Estevan Comprehensive School on a daily basis. They should have never been spending every second day learning from home to begin with.
Cheers to the students at Hillcrest School who had their works selected for a provincial writing publication, and to the school for placing an emphasis on writing for all students.
Cheers to the number of people we saw outside enjoying the great weather once again this past weekend. Hopefully people get lots of opportunities to have fun outdoors over the next seven months.
Cheers to the City of Estevan for posting a link to YouTube for open city council meetings. For those who don’t have Access Now, it’s a good way to keep tabs on council.
Jeers:
Jeers to those who still seem to think that the parking lot for the Estevan Fire Rescue Service building is a through road, or a shortcut to get from 13th Avenue to Souris Avenue North. It`s not. It’s been more than three years since the fire department moved in there; find a different way.
Jeers to drivers who continue to speed in school zones and playground zones, putting the health and safety of children at risk.
Jeers to the condition of some of the highways in southeast Saskatchewan, particularly Highway 47 from Estevan to Highway 1, and the fact it’s not likely to get any better.
