Cheers:
Cheers to the employee of a local grocery store who used his personal four-by-four vehicle to deliver groceries to the elderly who were storm stayed last month.
Cheers to the SMILE Services bus driver who stopped to help a person trap their little dog that had run off. The dog could have been lost and eventually would have frozen to death.
Cheers to the amazing snow removal crews who have managed to keep the streets in Estevan safe. In one instance, their prompt action allowed a senior to keep a cancer-related appointment at St. Joseph’s Hospital.
Cheers to the Estevan Prairie Mud peewee A Bruins on winning a couple of recent tournaments. Good luck in provincials.
Cheers to Kyle Mulligan for the great work that he has done at the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club the last two years, and for his contributions to the Power Dodge Estevan Bruins.
Jeers:
Jeers to the property tax increase that is coming for Estevan this year. Many people’s finances are stretched enough as it is; they can’t take more increases.
Jeers to the single regional health authority that is coming in Saskatchewan. The province can promise that the quality of care won’t be compromised, but the care will eventually suffer.
Jeers to whoever was responsible for the theft of the power tools northeast of Estevan late last year.
Jeers to the people who are constantly complaining about the snow and the cold temperatures. Did you really expect a third consecutive tame winter?
Jeers to those who are upset with the rising gas prices. It’s largely a reflection of the price of oil. When oil goes up, we win, even if we have to pay more at the pump.
