Cheers & Jeers

Wed, 03/20/2024 - 9:00am

    I haven’t used this headline/type of column since August of 2022. Yes, I have praised various happenings, people and groups since then – and I have cursed the weather and governments’ decisions – but I haven’t gone through the past week’s news to offer my Cheers and Jeers for a long while.

    Cheers

    ~ To Boothbay Special Olympics resuming the Leprechaun Leap and raising money for expenses and equipment. The school no longer subsidizes the program so Friday’s donations will help them continue the program.

    ~ To Edgecomb planners for holding fun 250th anniversary events for its residents and friends.

    ~ To Peter and Nancy Gilchrist for over 30 years of running the Boothbay Region High School math team and accomplishing top honors at many meets.

    Jeers

    ~ I’m going back to the weather on this one – I know it is March, which is a fickle weather month, but after several days of tolerable weather, seeing snow in the forecast for Saturday doesn’t sit well with me (you?).

    Have a good week!
