Cheers to the two trucks that stopped to help a person who fell on King Street recently. Their concern was much appreciated. Hope it didn t cause any traffic trouble because of the stop. Cheers to the different organizations in the community that found a way to have activities for children during the week off school, whether it be in-person or digitally. Cheers to Choose Life Ministry for having a Coldest Night of the Year walk on Saturday. As a bonus, it wasn’t close to being the coldest night of the year. Cheers to the Estevan Exhibition Association for looking ahead and trying to think of ways they can have something fun for the community this year.
Plumbing, heating, air conditioning and water treatment services are among the services that it offers. Fireplaces and barbecues are among the other products that the business sells. The company was selected to be the best plumbing outfit in the city by those who voted in the Readers’ Choice Best of Estevan Awards organized by Estevan Mercury Publications. “We provide a good service and people are appreciative of it,” said Brad Johnson, who is now the owner of the company. The honour is also proof that people are still reading the papers distributed by the Mercury, he said. “They’re still looking at that type of media,” said Johnson. “You wonder how well-read local advertising is with the Internet and everything else, but people are definitely picking up the paper and taking the time to go through it from front page to back page.”
Members of the Estevan Diversified Service (EDS), many of whom have been bullied at some point in their lives, have always been strong advocates against bullying. This year they took their campaign even further than raising awareness. We are really trying to focus this year on … how we can lift each other up, the opposite of tearing each other down in bullying. We are trying to focus on the positive, on what we can do that s positive, said Roberta DeRosier, who is the program co-ordinator at EDS. The awareness is already there. So how do we get it to go forward now? How do we build each other up?
The Estevan Mercury is starting its newest big campaign next week. All the way throughout March, we will be celebrating Women of Estevan and surrounding areas. While the world marks . . .
Cheers to all of the people who were out walking this winter before the temperatures plummeted. If your new year’s resolution is to exercise more, it means you have to do something during the winter months. Cheers to the Estevan Humane Society for finding a way to host its annual Whiskers and Wine gala this year. It will mean a great meal for all of the supporters. Cheers to the number of topics that were on the agenda for Monday night’s meeting of Estevan city council. Hopefully we’re going to have more meetings like that this year, with plenty to discuss.
