Cheers:
Cheers to the number of people who were once again out and enjoying the beautiful weather on the weekend. It’s great to see people out going for a jog, taking their dog for a walk or spending time with their children at a park.
Cheers to the fact that the Estevan and District Music Festival has found a way to have a festival this year, so that they can give local youths a chance to showcase their musical talents.
Cheers to the opening of the driving range at the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Course. It’s yet another sign that we had an early spring, with temperatures warmer than normal.
Cheers to the Estevan Lacrosse Association for hosting clinics on the weekend, giving kids a chance to brush up on their skills or try the sport out for the first time.
Cheers to Ashlyn George for her recent visit to Estevan, and for placing a spotlight on all that you can do in Estevan in the winter. Hopefully she is invited to come back in the summer months.
Cheers to George Foord on his letter to the editor in a recent edition of the Mercury, regarding it being the time to lift restrictions.
Jeers:
Jeers to not emptying garbage carts because they were set out too close together. Neighbours set their carts too close and none of them were emptied.
Jeers to dog owners who let their dogs bark continuously in their backyard and do not do a thing about it.
Jeers to the telephone scammers. A local resident had four calls one day and 12 the next. Their phone is now on mute and the person is ignoring all incoming calls. The not-so-clever scammers can still evade global policing quite easily and the communication servers themselves are toothless providers when it comes to their end of the deal.
Jeers to all of the dog walkers who don’t pick up after them. It’s disgusting. If you can afford a dog, you can afford bags.
