Cheers:
Cheers to the businesses who are taking the worldwide pandemic seriously and are putting safety measures in place to protect their staff and customers.
Cheers to SaskPower for the ongoing clean-up of the observation point at the Shand Power Station. It’s beginning to look cared for once again.
Cheers to the Estevan Viragos on their debut game. Obviously it wasn’t the result they were hoping for, but they’ll get better and it’s great to see an opportunity for young female football players.
Cheers to Wyatt Haux for the way in which he has represented Estevan in the lacrosse world. Hopefully one day we get to cheer for him with the Saskatchewan Rush.
Cheers to the fundraisers that we’re starting to see in the community. They might not be what we expect or how we know them, but it’s great to see them happening to support projects in the community.
Cheers to Stacey Wempe for taking the initiative and making a presentation to the Cornerstone school board. Good to see that somebody doesn’t think social media or coffee row are good enough to get their point across.
Jeers:
Jeers to the driver of a black pickup truck who ran a red light at the intersection of King Street and Kensington Avenue on Thursday, and didn’t even make an effort to stop. Driving behaviours like this cause serious accidents.
Jeers to those who still haven’t learned about the risks of distracted driving. The $1,400 fine and vehicle impoundment for a second violation in a 12-month span aren’t enough of a deterrent for some people.
Jeers to the lack of specifics from the Saskatchewan Health Authority regarding recent cases of COVID-19 in the southeast. We don’t need to know who it is, but we would like to know where the case was diagnosed in a zone with 31,000 people.
