Cheers:
Cheers to the Salvation Army and the United Way Estevan for delivering a gift bag to the home of a local resident.
Cheers to A Loving Touch for thinking of our seniors and delivering snack packs to their homes.
Cheers to Chelsea Choma for organizing the cruise night in Estevan on Saturday night, and to all those who participated. It was great to see all of the classic vehicles being driven around the city.
Cheers to everyone who came up with unique ways to celebrate Mother’s Day this year. It was great to see the effort that was happening and the time that was put in, especially for those who couldn’t receive a visit.
Cheers to the Oxbow Arts and Cultural Committee for their efforts to promote the talented people who reside in that part of the region, through concerts and virtual art shows.
Cheers to Pleasantdale School’s staff for the parade throughout the neighbourhood last week. The kids were excited to see their teachers again, and they were encouraged by the messages of support.
Jeers:
Jeers to businesses who don’t answer the phones properly. When phoning a retail business, restaurant or a grocery store, one should be greeted with a “good morning,” not a pause and then a hello. And answer the phone promptly, rather than waiting for several rings.
Jeers to politicians who are talking about how "Oil is dead" or how we're seeing the demise of the oil industry. Oil will be needed far longer than those people's political careers.
Jeers to arrows on retail store floors that are difficult to see. It’s great that stores are using them and that people pay attention to the arrows, but a small, light-coloured arrow on a light-coloured floor doesn’t help anybody.
