Cheers:
Cheers to the teachers/support staff at Bienfait Weldon School for the great start to the school year. Lids talked non-stop all evening about how awesome their first day was. The time and preparation did not go unnoticed.
Cheers to the City of Estevan and the water treatment plant staff for the excellent quality of water since the changeover to Rafferty Dam.
Cheers to the progress on the new addictions treatment centre at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Estevan. It will be a big addition to the community once it’s finished.
Cheers to all of the candidates who have already stopped forward to let their names stand for the upcoming municipal and school board elections. Why waste time? File the papers right away.
Cheers to the Prairie Winds for finding a way to have their annual ride for Ronald McDonald House. It’s such a fun event and it supports a great cause.
Cheers to Kevin Sutter for all that he has been doing to help communities with their water needs. He was a deserving choice for the Saskatchewan Roughrider Every Day Hero.
Cheers to the Estevan Oilfield Technical Society for bringing people in the oilpatch together for a golf tournament. All of the sponsors and volunteers were appreciated.
Jeers:
Jeers to the truck route still being on Perkins Street, only half a block from a playpark, day care and elementary school. The kids in the south end get to dodge semi trucks trying to cross the road to get to school.
Jeers to the fact that we didn’t have football to watch during the Labour Day long weekend. We really miss the Riders and the CFL.
Jeers to those who insist on dragging out arguments on social media, and resorting to name calling, rather than having civil discussions face to face.
