he cold weather did not stop families from heading out to Lucky Break Ranch at 123117 Mayne Road just outside Rivers to enjoy the Haunted Forest from Oct. 26-29. Over 520 people of all ages attended. Each evening from 4:30pm to 7:30pm families with young children could go and enjoy the trails during the no scare hours. After 7:30pm until 10pm the volunteer scare actors came out to make sure attendants jumped right out of their skin. As you entered the area, you could see all of the sponsors with their names written on the gravestones of the cemetery you passed through to get the event. And some very comical headstones as well, such as ‘Here lies Mozart decomposing’. Before the trails, there was a fire to help people warm up. Guests were able to enjoy carnival games, such as bean By Jessica Coulter Rivers Banner

bag toss and basketball. There were pumpkins for purchase to take home for carving, a 50/50 draw and penny auction prizes. A concession stand was set up with hotdogs, chilli, drinks, and snacks. The outdoor movie ran all four evenings after dark, Child’s Play 1 through 4. The Forest was set up with many Halloween decorations along the trails. You could find screens from some of the scariest horrors to give everyone a good fright. From witches to zombies, mad scientists to spiders, the crew managed to cover many Halloween supernatural thrillers. Admission was $8 for adults, $5 for youth or $20 for a family. The profits raised from the event went towards Manitoba Cancer Society and Riverdale Harvest Food Bank. A huge thank-you to all who braved the cold to volunteer for the event. To all the sponsors an enormous thank-you as well and to all the guests who bundled up and came out to make this years Haunted Forest another huge success.

Farm Credit Canada (FCC) is giving $1.5 million through its FCC AgriSpirit Fund to 86 community groups across Canada to support rural capital projects. “It’s amazing to realize the range of projects and organizations the FCC AgriSpirit Fund has been able to support over the last 20 years and the impact it has created,” said Shannon Weatherall, FCC senior vice-president of Prairie operations. “We continue that legacy through great investments in our communities today.” This year, the FCC AgriSpirit Fund awarded between $5,000 and $25,000 to various community improvement initiatives that enrich the lives of residents in cities, towns or Indigenous communities with fewer than 150,000 people. Over the past 20 years, the FCC AgriSpirit Fund has supported 1,615 projects, an investment of $21 million. The next application period opens in the spring of 2024. Registered charities, nonprofit groups, municipalities and First Nations, Métis or Inuit governments/communities interested in funding can visit www.fccagrispiritfund.ca for eligibility requirements, to apply online and view past projects. In Manitoba, the following projects are receiving funding: • Riverdale Community Centre - Rivers - $8000 for purchase a new commercial hot water tank for the centre. • Alonsa and District Recreational Co-op Inc. – Alonsa - $16,000 for upgrade to LED lighting at the recreational complex. • Boissevain Community Centre Inc. – Boissevain - $10,000 for upgrade the community centre’s entrance to increase accessibility. • Camperville Community Council – Camperville - $25,000 for purchase a freezer, refrigeration unit, and gardening tools for the community garden to provide produce to the community. • Incorporated Community of Seymourville – Wanipigow - $5,500 for purchase a storage cooler to reduce food waste and provide fresh produce for the community. • Lac du Bonnet Community Garden - Lac du Bonnet - $15,000 for outfit a greenhouse with solar panels, a washroom and a learning center. • Meadow Portage Community Council - Meadow Portage - $10,000 for renovate the community hall’s bathroom to increase accessibility. • Neepawa Community Ministries Centre – Salvation Army in Canada – Neepawa $25,000 for expand and upgrade the food bank and community kitchen with new refrigeration units and kitchen equipment. • Opaskwayak Cree Nation, Lands and Natural Resources – Opaskwayak - $20,000 for purchase a low-profile aluminum floating dock and a fish cleaning shack to promote fishing and obtain fresh food for the community.

Provincial snow removal crews are equipped and ready to clear highways in response to snow in the forecast for much of Manitoba, Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Lisa Naylor announced today. “Crews are monitoring highway conditions and will deploy as needed,” said Naylor. “As we head into the winter season, we look forward to diligently helping Manitobans navigate roads and highways safely.” Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure is responsible for maintaining 19,000 kilometres of provincial roads to provide safe and timely travel across Manitoba throughout the winter season. The department monitors weather forecasts and plans its operation with a f leet of approximately 340 truck plows, motor graders and de-icing equipment. In the coming weeks and months, snow-clearing crews will be on the roads to respond to conditions as needed. Motorists are reminded to be vigilant and adjust their driving for winter road conditions with the arrival of snow and freezing rain. Drivers should also ensure they are watching for snow-clearing equipment during inclement weather; all snow-clearing equipment operates using f lashing blue lights. Motorists should slow down and stay well back of snow-clearing equipment. Current road conditions are available anytime at 511 (toll-free), at www. manitoba511.ca or by downloading the Manitoba 511 app. Manitoba 511 is updated regularly by road patrols, though conditions can change in a matter of minutes.

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein Justified versus necessary

very year, on November 11, Canadians join other Commonwealth countries in paying tribute to the soldiers, sailors and Air Force personnel who died while fighting overseas on one or more of the world’s battlefields. Our intent is not to glorify war. We accept war as a fact of life-as something that has been with us since the beginning of human time. On Nov. 11 we come together to pray for our communities, our country and our world, asking the God of our understanding that we might see the day when the nations of the world will renounce war as a means of settling conflicts and choose instead to negotiate an end to all war and a lasting peace. Sadly, as we come together this year, we must admit that this goal seems farther away than it did one year ago. While the world’s attention is focused on Ukraine and a small area in the Middle East (the Gaza strip), wars and rumors of wars persist in many other parts of our world. In fact, it is hard to find even one region on earth where, as I write these words, someone isn’t at war with someone else, or threatening to be so before too long. We wish things could be different; but right now, this is how they are. That shouldn’t stop us from asking some hard questionsone of which is: Are there times when going to war can be justified? Your answer to that question will depend upon your political ideology, your world view and (yes, you’re reading this correctly) your religious beliefs. If, after careful evaluation, you determine that a specific war is justified, ask a second question-is it necessary? That answer may surprise you. In Biblical times, wars were motivated by a lust for land and loot. A king felt the urge to expand his territory, thereby raising his image, prestige and increasing his power. He would then target a specific country (usually one whose armies his could easily overpower), invade it, conquer it and annex it into his kingdom. He had the land. Now he could steal its resources (the loot), enslave its people and use what he stole to fatten his own bank account and live in luxury while those he conquered and now ruled lived in poverty. Sadly, not much has changed since those days. People still go to war. They are still motivated by a lust for land and loot. They often use false accusations, flawed logic and flimsy excuses to justify attacking their neighbors. They consider their actions to be justified-but are they? Not nearly as often as they would have us believe. I have often wondered how many of today’s wars are motivated by fear-the fear that something bad will happen to a nation and its leaders if they don’t expand their territory and secure their borders. You see, fear makes cowards of us all. People bound by fear will stop at nothing to preserve their lives and the lives of those closest to them. They will go to war and fight until their armies are destroyed, their land is filled with potholes and rubble, the hopes of their people are shattered, their country is bankrupt. and what they feared has come to pass. There is a better way. We can face our fears and then put faith and trust in the God who, when our ways please him, will make even our enemies to be at peace with us.

In praise of local!

ast year at this time I wrote about newspapers and press releases. Seeing as we have a new Manitoba government, maybe it’s time to re-visit that topic. Here’s fair notice to the new government and their various agencies. Governments can’t survive without taxes and newspapers can’t survive without advertising. Stores can’t afford to give away their stuff and newspapers can’t either. Some governments and agencies seem to think that social media and press releases are the whole answer to their messaging needs. I have bad news for them, you need more than social media to get the word out and you need more than press releases. Here’s why! Social media only reaches some people but newspapers reach more. Press releases are easily ignored, we just don’t have enough room for all the dozens of press releases we get every month. Here’s fair notice to the new government. Unless it is of very important local interest, a press release may not appear on these pages. Three factors played a part in the fact that Manitoba has 22 fewer papers than we did five years ago. Those factors are (sometimes) a decline in the local business community and a mistaken belief that social media will cover all the messaging needs. The third factor is that governments have invested (dare I say wasted) our tax dollars normally used to advertise in out-of-Canada owned social media. Local businesses and agencies are by and large good supporters of locally owned media. The paper you are reading is locally owned by the Waddell family. The Neepawa neepawa

Right in the Centre Ken Waddell Banner & Press is owned by Ken and Christine Waddell of Neepawa, The Rivers Banner is owned by Micah Waddell of Rivers. (As a side note, Brandon’s News in a Minute is owned by Mike and Naomi Waddell.) The Waddell family has been involved with printing and media since 1966. That’s a long time and we are proud to say, we are still learning how to serve our communities better. So, there is a fourth factor about newspapers and I have written about it before. Newspapers are best run by local people, local owners and local staff. There are 34 papers listed as members of the Manitoba Community Newspaper Association (MCNA). Twenty-one are local, family owned papers. I personally think it’s too bad they all aren’t as my experience with corporate paper ownership has often not been good. So getting back to governments. They all say they want to be transparent and open. If that is the case, and we must hope that it is, then they need to belly up to the bar and buy ads in the local newspaper or radio or TV station. As I said above, unless it is really of value to local people, we don’t feel we should have to publish

a press release. Everybody in the whole chain gets paid to do that press release except the newspaper or radio or TV station. The politicians get paid, the chiefs of staff, the assistants, the deputy ministers, the speech writers, the secretaries and accountants, all the civil servants, everybody up and down the policy chain and the “engagement specialists” get paid. The news outlets need to be paid too. News people have to feed their families, pay their rent, buy gas (ugh!) and heat their homes and businesses. If governments want to be truly transparent and open, they need to show it in real ways. Certainly social media has a place but social media isn’t always very reliable or even truthful to be blunt. Locally owned, accountable media is very important to convey messages that are important. Our communities and our democracy depend on it.

of:

t’s not uncommon for many of you, any of you, to gently and sincerely ask me how I am doing. My standard answer is that I am doing well, walking with a purpose, grieving, yes, but moving forward. The walking with a purpose does not refer to me walking my dog. We often say that something or someone is up and running, and I really don’t want to run! For me, running implies simply hurrying, sometimes to get away from something, and sometimes to get to some place. I want to be right here, right now. I want to feel sorrow, and anticipate joy. I want to face each day knowing that I have a purpose on this earth, and do that well. I recognise that today the only concrete evidence of doing anything was tidying up the china cabinet. The items that could be washed got cycled through the dishwasher, the items that required hand washing got hand washed. Some items got carefully packed away, and new old items put in their place. I can look at that project and know I will not have to repeat it for a very long time! I walked Arie. That is a task I embrace at least twice a day. For winter I am aiming for six thousand steps versus my summer ten thousand, knowing that most days the count will be much closer to the ten, but with no internal pressure. I sat down to eat three times today, lunch being a gift from a granddaughter. The other two meals were indeed the cold cereal and milk with a side of banana. And I know that I will be facing eating regularly, and probably more healthily for a very long time! It’s these tasks that are never endingly repetitious that bog me down. But I will continue to face them, some days with more grace than others! I have not lost my sense of humour, or my deep appreciation for each breath I take. The week of my partner’s passing a caring individual, in a casual conversation on the street, mentioned that I looked really tired. Really? Can’t be having that! So I hied me off to the pharmacy and asked the helped staff member to direct me to the facial masks. Either my enunciation, or her hearing, had her leading me to the section for those all to familiar blue or white face masks that we have worn for so long!! With a smile I patted my cheeks, and explained I needed a facial mask, a cream or a mud that would improve the appearance of my tired face. That problem resolved we approached the counter and in an exchange with a family member working that day, I explained the confusion and stated that I was darn elated I had not been directed to the Halloween mask section! And we all had a good chuckle. I find my home rather quiet. Family and friends have all resumed their busy lives, as they should. I am grateful for my dog, but even more thankful for the outpouring of caring from my family and my community. I am well. Thank you for asking.

Manitoba Ag Days enters its second decade of investing in rural communities and agriculture education through the Ag Days Gives Back program. 100% of the funds raised through the Manitoba Ag Days 50/50 are used to support K-12 ag education, post secondary ag education and community organizations throughout Manitoba and Saskatchewan. This represents a commitment of over $362,500 since the program’s inception in 2013. Thanks to strong public support, the 2024 Ag Days Gives Back community giving, and scholarship programs have both been expanded. “This year we have more than doubled the amount of community grants available, thanks to the generous support for our 50/50,” said Hannah Minshull, Ag Days Gives Back committee chairperson. “We are excited to offer seventeen individual grants of $2000 to non-profit organizations to support their continued operation.” The scholarship criteria have also expanded and now includes any post secondary education and training related to agriculture. “We wanted to recognize the wide variety of jobs and career paths that contribute to the agriculture and agri-food sector, and this scholarship allows the applicants to explain how their training or studies, whatever they might be, connect to the ag industry.” commented Minshull. Three scholarships of $2000 each will be presented at the 2024 show. The deadline for both community grant applications and scholarship applications is Nov. 15. Winners will be announced at the 2024 show in Jan. For more information, please visit https://www.

This meatloaf recipe doesn’t take long to make at all, and it’s very good. It’s quick, traditional, delicious, and it’s sure to please everyone at your table. Ingredients for Meatloaf: 1-1/2½ pounds ground beef 2 eggs 1/2 yellow onion, diced salt and pepper to taste 1 cup crushed seasoned crackers (I use veggie thins) Ingredients for Sauce: 4 slices of cooked bacon 1-1/2 cups mushrooms, sliced 1 sprig fresh rosemary, chopped (optional) 1-1/4 cups beef broth 1/4 cup heavy cream

Kids Halloween paint party in Hamiota

2 tablespoons cup butter 1 pinch salt 1-1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour salt and pepper to taste

Directions 1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. 2) Combine ground beef, onion, crackers and eggs in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Transfer into prepared loaf pan. 3) Mix ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard together in a small bowl until well combined; pour over meatloaf and spread it evenly over the top. 4) Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. 5) Melt butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in mushrooms, bacon and a pinch of salt; cook and stir until mushrooms begin to brown, about 5mins. 6) Stir in fresh rosemary. Add flour and stir to coat the mushrooms; cook and stir for about 3 minutes. 7) Whisk in beef broth, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Using cold beef broth keeps the flour from forming lumps. 8) Turn heat to high and bring the sauce to a simmer. Simmer a few minutes until sauce starts to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 9) Remove from heat and stir in heavy cream. 10) Spoon sauce over the top of the meatloaf. Enjoy with your favourite mashed potatoes!

10 Rivers Banner November 3, 2023

Submitted Rivers Banner It is never too early to teach kids about the value of money, especially how to save money. When they reach adulthood, they will be able to spend wisely. Money is a responsibility, and it is important that children learn how to manage it. 1) Once your child has learned basic math in school, it is time to pull out the board games such as Monopoly TM and show them how to play. It is great practice to pull out coins and learn how to count with the different values of each coin. 2) Does your kid have a piggy bank? It is a great way to teach them the importance of saving. Turn it into a game, ‘how much can you save before a predetermined date’. 3) Open up a savings bank account with your child. Make sure they talk to the teller and set-up the account themselves. This will make them feel grown up and hopefully motivate them to save more. 4) Discuss how they would like to spend their savings. Planning and dreaming big will help them save even more. 5) Allow your kids to shop for themselves. Try to avoid loaning them more if they do not have enough to buy what they want. This will teach them to be more frugal and patient. They will learn that they need to save more in order to afford the item they want.

6) Pay in cash. When providing an allowance, make sure it is for a job well done, such as various chores around the home. Set rules for earning

the allowance and an amount for each of your children. Show your kids that the best way to buy items is with the money in their pocket.

At the start of the summer Rivers Police partnered with local businesses to develop a positive ticketing campaign geared towards rewarding the young people in our community that do things that are good, proper, and safe. As police patrolled our community, tickets were handed out to the young people who were caught doing something positive. Many received tickets for doing such things as wearing a bike helmet, crossing the street in a safe manner, etc. The tickets could be redeemed for treats at the Rivers Co-op and the Honey House Bakery. In addition to this the children could put their name in for a draw for prizes at the end of summer. CJ’s Snack Shack facilitated the draw for prizes at the Halloween Monster Mash. Constable Pompana and Constable Lindsay handed out Halloween treats at the event where they held the prize draw. The winners were as follows: • Ellie Kolesar: $100.00 Canadian Tire Gift Card donated by Chief Lon Schwartz • Isla Thompson: $25.00 Home Hardware Gift Card Donated by Way-Mor Agencies Ltd. • Gavin Mayor: $25.00 Home Hardware Gift Card Donated by Way-Mor Agencies Ltd. Rivers Police wish to thank all of our sponsors that worked with us to make the initiative such a success and it is anticipated that this will happen again in the summer of 2024.

n Oct 31, CJ’s on Ice brought back the free skating to the Riverdale Recreation Centre for Halloween. This is the first annual with the hopes of many more years to come of the Monster Mash. Sheri-Lyn Green remembers in her younger days enjoying ice skating on Halloween after trick or treating. It was the place to be to warm up. Thanks to the free hot chocolate and candy, sponsored by Forbidden Flavours Roastery & Pratts Wholesale, everyone was warm in a flash. It was free entry for all from 5pm to 9pm. There was a DJ with music, lights, and lasers for a fun skating event. CJ’s kitchen was open for the trick or treaters and for any late-night snacks someone might want to enjoy. Behlen Lounge was open for extra seating. At 7pm there was a costume judging contest. The judges were Travis and Kendra Walker who picked the three winners. In the Adult category, the crazy cat lady Jackie Bichon won. In the Teen category, the Ghostface figure skater, Keely Neyedly, took the prize. In the youth category, Grace Senbeil won with her costume of an Alien crewmate from the Among Us videogame. Each winner received a CJ’s gift card and some Halloween hot chocolate. The group costume winners were the Sharks, Jill Schoonbaert and Preston Cords. They won a cookie graveyard kit and a CJ’s gift card. “Thank you so much to everyone that came out to the first annual Monster Mash on Oct. 31. It was great to see so many kids, teens and even adults enjoying themselves on the ice. Can’t wait to do it again next year bigger and better,” say Sheri-Lyn. The Monster Mash was the hit of the land. By Jessica Coulter Rivers Banner
