Cheers:
Cheers to the gentleman who helped a woman with her horse trailer lights on Nov. 2. He made a point of stopping her to let her know they weren’t working, he followed her into town to make sure there wasn’t any trouble, and then he helped get them working again.
Cheers to the Estevan Mercury for once again being honoured among its peers for news gathering and reporting to the city and southeast Saskatchewan. A proud 117-year history of being in the Saskatchewan news business.
Cheers to Tim Pippus’ column in the Estevan Mercury. His column has brought calm and clarity for readers during this time.
Cheers to all of the candidates in the civic election who let their name stand. Regardless of whether you were successful, your efforts to try to improve your community or school board should be applauded.
Cheers to all of the workers who were out on Sunday and Monday, clearing snow, sanding roads and highways, and doing their part to keep everything passable for those who had to travel.
Cheers to all of the fire department members on both sides of the border who came together to fight the serious grass fire south of Frobisher. It took a lot of people a long time to bring that fire under control. And cheers to all of those involved with the response to the grain elevator fire in Torquay.
Jeers:
Jeers to an old lady at a local store who would not keep her distance in a lineup. Clearly precautions for COVID-19 should be taken seriously. Stay at the recommended distance and don’t encroach on people.
Jeers to the entrances at St. Joseph’s Hospital, as they look appalling and are covered with leaves.
Jeers to the Larry Leadfoots driving far too fast for the road conditions on Sunday afternoon and evening. If there’s a travel not recommended advisory out, it means you shouldn’t be travelling 10-20 kilometres above the speed limit.
