Cheers and Jeers for June 7

Cheers to Boston Tait for his presentation at the Estevan police board meeting last week, and for calling for reduced speed limits on certain roads in the city.

Cheers to the Estevan Oilfield Technical Society for organizing the Oilmen’s Golf Tournament once again this year. It’s always a fun time for the golfers, and there’s an economic spinoff for the city.

Cheers to the Bikers Against Diabetes for their continued efforts to raise money for young people in the community who have Type 1 diabetes.

Cheers to the Torquay Block Party quilting guild for hosting their event on Sunday, and for creating so many colourful quilts in the past year.

Cheers to the students at the Estevan Comprehensive School who represented this area at the recent Skills Canada nationals in Halifax.

 

Jeers to the numerous motorists who have run a red light at the intersection of Fourth Street and Souris Avenue South during the past week. It’s such a busy intersection, and one day someone will be seriously injured.

Jeers to the condition of some of the parking lots in Estevan. The only thing worse than a gravel parking lot is a parking lot riddled with large potholes.

Jeers to whoever stole the rubberized mulch that was to be used for the play structure at the Royal Heights Veterans’ Memorial Park. It will make that structure safer.

Jeers to the people complaining about the Saskatchewan Roughriders loss to the Calgary Stampeders. Don’t they know football well enough to realize that it’s just a preseason game?
