Cheers:
Cheers to the Holy Family Roman Catholic Separate School Division for organizing the great parade through the streets of Estevan last week. It was great to see how it went throughout the community, rather than just a neighbourhood.
Cheers to the retailers and other businesses who are open once again, but are also doing the right thing and looking out for the safety of their customers.
Cheers to being able to go to our favourite restaurants again on June 8. Now let’s not do something stupid and delay those plans.
Cheers to the City of Estevan for naming Centennial Park after Dennis Moore. He’s done a lot for the community, and he deserves to have his name attached to a facility like a park that will be growing in demand once this pandemic is finished.
Cheers to all of those who have supported the virtual fundraisers happening, such as the Walk to End Cystic Fibrosis, the Law Enforcement Virtual Torch Run for Special Olympics, and others.
Cheers to those residents who are bringing a little cheer in these trying times.
Jeers:
Jeers to landlords who let their rental property lawns go to dandelions. They become an eyesore on the street and they spread, making it more difficult for those who maintain their yards.
Jeers to the discontinuation of acute care and emergency services at the hospitals in Arcola and Oxbow. These are very important services to those towns and the surrounding communities.
Jeers to those who are complaining about their favourite events being cancelled. You think it’s tough on you they won’t be happening? Think about how tough it is for those who had to cancel them.
