Roulette commits to the Cougars

Roulette, a local from R ivers, M B has been eager to get back on the court since the cancellation of her senior year and club this past season.

“When volleyball shut down in March due to Covid and I didn’t get to play, I knew I wanted to pursue the sport at the post-secondary level” said Roulette.

During her time as a high school student, Roulette worked on achieving her lifeguarding and CPR cert if icat ions as well as coaching both volleyball and basketball teams.

The excitement and anticipation to join the Cougars started well-before Emma’s graduating year. Head Coach, Jeff Maxwell began building

Advocacy at its best

very week seems to bring a new challenge and opportunities.

With this column being written from a hospital bed (again), it is a challenge. It is tough enough for me to type at any time, but with an oxygen monitor taped to one hand and an IV port taped to the other, the word challenge takes on new meaning.

The opportunity is to learn new things about my own health and the health care system. As earlier reported, I have developed a condition called Myasthenia Gravis. It is treatable, but it is taking a while. I have reacted badly to one of the meds and that has caused its own set of problems. This will be my fourth stay in hospital since the end of November, plus two trips to the ER. In spite of all my problems and my wife Christine’s health issues, we are both very thankful. Generally speaking, our health care system is amazing.

Sometimes we have delays, especially

compared to the United States, but nonetheless, we have an amazing system.

There is one improvement that has been severely hampered by COVID-19 rules. That improvement is the need for greater adoption of having every patient have an advocate. The health care system is great, but it can be difficult to work your way through without somebody alongside, be it an extra pair of hands, an extra set of eyes and ears.

And most of all, an occasional need to

speak up on a patient’s behalf.

Especially with a multi-hospital situation and so many staff and shifts, details sometimes just get missed– usually no big stuff, but things get missed.

Every patient needs a caring advocate,

”

There is another thing we are thankful for and that is Good Friday and all it stands for. Jesus was born and we celebrate that at Christmas time. But today is Good Friday and, at first glance, it’s always been tough for

me to see the “Good” part. As we look closer, it is indeed “good” that Jesus died on the cross for us and even “better” that he rose on Easter Sunday, a Saviour for all people.

Jesus is often also spoken of as an Advocate. We need an advocate in health care to help make our way through.

Fortunately, Jesus is more than willing to be our Advocate from birth to death and beyond.

What is Easter? - part three

Chrisitanity stands alone among all world religions, in that its founder, the Lord Jesus Christ, rose from the dead. The core of the Christian Church is the resurrection, being the cornerstone on which it is built, and if the resurrection is false, then the Christian faith collapses as declared in the Bible. The Apostle Paul wrote: 1 Corinthians 15:14,17 - “And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.

Part two ended with Christ’s body placed in a tomb the day (Good Friday) before the Sabbath (Saturday.)

Throughout the Scriptures, Jesus claimed He would be raised on the third day (Easter Sunday.) Let’s have a brief look at the events in Matthew that occurred on Sunday.

Matthew 28:1 - At dawn, women who were close to Jesus, started out for the tomb.

Matthew 28:2-4 - An angel of the Lord rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was so brilliant that the guards shook in fear.

Matthew 28:5-7 - On their arrival, the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay. Then go quickly and tell His disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead…’”

Matthew 28:8-10 - The women, filled with joy and amazement, ran to tell the disciples.

Jesus appeared to them suddenly and they fell at His feet. Jesus tells them not to be afraid and go tell the disciples the good news.

Matthew 28:11-15 - The guards fled to Jerusalem and told the Jewish leaders what happened. They were bribed and told to say that Jesus’ disciples had come during the night (while they were sleeping) and stole the body.

Matthew 28:16-20 - The disciples met with Jesus and worshiped Him. Jesus said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore

go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you…)

The Gospels of Matthew and Mark speak briefly of the resurrection, but Luke and John are more detailed.

Regardless, we know there were many eyewitnesses. The Apostle Paul wrote in his letter to the church in Corinth (a city in ancient Greece) that Jesus also appeared to more than five hundred people at one time (1 Corinthians 15:6.)

To see the impact the resurrection had on the Lord’s followers, we have to see their prior condition. When Jesus was arrested, they deserted Him and fled (Mark 14:50.)

The Apostle Peter, following from a distance and seeing Christ beaten, denied knowing Him three times when asked if he were one of His followers (Mark 14:66-72.)

Peter became a coward shortly after boldly telling Jesus he would lay down his life for Him ( John 13:36-38.) The Gospel of John tells us where the disciples disappeared to.

John 20:19 - “On the evening of that first day of the week when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders…)

Jesus’ disciples, afraid of suffering the same fate, hid in a house locked up tight. They had placed their faith in this man and had given up everything to follow Him who claimed to be the Messiah and the eternal Son of God;

now He was dead and lying in a tomb. But let’s finish the verse you just read.

John 20:19,20 - “...Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you!” After He said this, He showed them His hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed…”

After seeing Jesus on two more occasions, they knew He had indeed risen from the dead!”

When we move to the Book of Acts, we now find the disciples boldly preaching in the name of the risen Lord.

What a change! From defeated and despondent, suddenly they’re bold witnesses to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, not allowing beatings or imprisonment to stop their testimony. In fact, some of them were martyred, along with thousands of other faithful Christians through the years.

Even today, we are called to be just as bold, proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all nations.

Death was defeated because the grave could not hold the Prince of Life, and He alone offers eternal life to those who will confess Him as Lord and Saviour. Won’t you please give the matter some serious thought this Easter!!

By Rita Friesen The gifts that keep on giving...

Y

ears ago, a dog breeder graciously gave me the runt of a litter. Truthfully, I could have my pick, and the only one I wanted was the tiniest puppy. I took my time giving him a name, one must pick a name that suits the creature. In just a few days, his name was Hoover, after the vacuum, not the president. There was a hiccough in the first year, when he ingested some human meds and I learned that I could fill a baster with salt solution and force it down his throat. I learned that I could sit up all night with a wee doggie that needed care.

Within a few months, a phone call informed us that Henry Hoover’s sister needed a safe home. Sorry, was my first response, I pushed my luck getting the one dog. After hearing a heart-breaking story about the misfortune the little girl had endured, Miss Daisy joined our home. She was/is a runner. The one spring day I actually had both dogs off leash at the acreage, one headed up the lane and the other took off after a goose. It was simple to capture Hoover, but the pursuit across the soft field was very different. Screaming at the top of my lungs did not grant me more stamina for the quarter mile chase! Totally

unaware of her crime, Miss Daisy was simply glad to see me. Some time after that, while tethered, her lead became entangled with the tines of the garden tiller. A quick trip to the vet revealed a slight damage to her tummy, the result a hernia we watch.

There was the summer eve the two of them found the stash of chocolate. One of our house guests, a forever friend, and I sat on the veranda with them, all night long. Watching, caring, nurturing and loving them into wellness. It’s part of being a pet owner.

They both have strong personalities, and it wasn’t until I accepted Miss Daisy as who she is that she has bonded with me. She knows her name, but comes quickest when summoned with ‘treat’. She will do anything for food, like her mama. And has a vocal opinion of everyone we meet while walking– or that passes the window! Again, like her mama? She hates the prospect of being groomed, and disappears at the sound of the clipper. Miss Daisy has mastered telling time– out at five for a bathroom break, up at seven for breakfast, supper at four, sharp. Hoover is top dog. First born to this household. Regal.

Almost above going for a walk. Snags the first body that forms a lap and has now claimed the top of the couch as his vantage point– can see outside and in both directions inside.

My wonderful companions are aging, as am I. We continue to walk, almost daily. A little slower, not quite as far. Miss Daisy hurt her front leg when hopping off the bed, misjudged the distance. Perhaps some vision problems. Her hearing may be going as well. They are almost 12, and I, well, am 75. We continue to travel apace!

Letters

A reply to John Feldsted’s Feb. 15 Rivers Banner article My name is Dr. Dave Woytowich . My wife and I are both retired professionals (Civil Engineer and Social Worker) who live near the Town of Rivers.

I found your article published in the Rivers Banner on Feb. 15 to be ill informed and extremely disrespectful to all Manitobans and seniors who have been affected by COVID-19.r In the article (see attached), you minimized the health hazards associated with COVID:-19 by comparing it to a “relatively normal inf luenza epidemic”, and describing the response by the media and government a “destructive overreaction to COVID”. It is disgraceful that you would compare the COVID death of an “obese 85-year old with comorbidities”, who you claim “make up a significant share of deaths directly attributed to COVID” to other victims such as businesses and organizations...Your comments are insensitive and disgraceful to all seniors. As a political commentator and senior yourself, you should be embarrassed by making such appalling comparisons .

Let me share a personal story which debunks all of your ignorant, ill-spoken comments, which you expressed and are so far from the truth, My mother who was 91 years old, passed away in Deer Lodge Centre “(DLC) on Dec. 21, 2021 due to COVID. She was an active, vibrant , mentally astute, grandmother/senior citizen who lived independently and loved life. She was only supposed to be only at DLC for physiotherapy .(two week period) but through no fault of her own, she contracted a “Health Acquired Infection”. Two other patients who were sharing a room with my mom also were infected. over a four day period, resulting in an outbreak being declared.

My mother died within two days of her COVID diagnosis.

My sister (59 years old) also contracted COVID from my mom while brief ly visiting her.at DLC. My sister spent two weeks following her diagnosis in ICU in critical condition.Her recovery (one of the 712,000 identified in your article as recovered) is expected to be a year or longer. Based on her post COVID symptoms ,she has been identified by her doctor as a “long hauler”.

It is irresponsible and reckless for you to downplay COVID-19 as a “relatively normal inf luenza”.

The reason our family still continues to social distance, wear masks and minimize contacts is that we listen to medical experts and believe these actions “ save lives”. Our family did not have the opportunity due to COVID restrictions to visit my mom before she died in the hospital.However, we accepted these restrictions as necessary so others could be protected and kept safe. Your comments about “suppressing democratic freedom” and “living under house arrest” are self-centred and disrespectful to all those who have contacted or died from COVID-19.

In closing, I am also very disappointed that your political bias views were published in our weekly rural newspaper, the Rivers Banner, which is read by many seniors in our community.

Mazier Rejects pay raise again; will donate to local charities

Member of Parliament, Dan Mazier, has once again rejected a scheduled pay raise slated to occur on April 1, 2021 for all Members of Parliament. Scheduled raises are a result of previous Liberal government legislation that mandated pay raises for MPs; a matter that has resulted in a great amount of backlash from Canadians and specifically the Canadian Taxpayer’s Federation. Although the salary increase is meant to correlate with inflation targets, local MP Dan Mazier believes that it is inappropriate for politicians to accept a raise during the COVID-19 crisis. Despite the previous Conservative government voting to freeze MP salaries for three consecutive years during the global economic crisis, the current government has not introduced legislation that would freeze the scheduled raise despite

having the ability to do so.

“It is absurd that the Liberal government would give politicians a raise when so many Canadians have lost their jobs and when our country is suffering from one of the worst economic crises in our lifetime. I represent the people, not myself. We need to be focused on the future of our country.

Unfortunately, this government is more focused on themselves”, stated Mazier.

Although legislation requires MPs to accept such a raise unless the government implements a salary freeze, Mazier has committed to once again donating the pay increase to local charitable and service groups throughout the constituency. “I was proud to donate to local organizations throughout our constituency last year, and I look forward to doing the same this year.

Many local organizations

and charities are working tirelessly to support people who are vulnerable or in need of support, and most of them are struggling with decreased revenue and increased demand during the pandemic” added Mazier.

Going forward, Mazier says he is focused on the future of the country. He recently joined his Conservative colleagues to launch a five-point recovery plan titled ‘Secure the Future’. The plan focuses on securing jobs, the economy, the country, mental health, and government accountability. Mazier says many constituents have reached out with concerns on how the country is planning to return to normal and are seeking certainty – a concern he shares and one that he plans to continue to raise with the current government.

Snow mold, a spring time fungi

Patricia Hanbidge Orchid Horticulture

When we go into winter with a heavy snowfall before the ground is fully frozen, we expect to see more snow mold in the early spring. Snow mold is a fungal condition that affects lawn or turf areas in early spring and appears in the early spring while the snow is melting and the surface temperature of the ground approaches 0 C. This fungal issue is tough on the lawn but also bad news for allergy sufferers.

Early spring is always a dirty time – with lots of dust blowing around and especially this year we expect to also enjoy lots of mold spores. Itchy watery eyes and respiratory symptoms in early spring are often in response to snow mold on our lawn areas. If you have sensitivity to spores, then as our collection of snow is disappearing and all you want to do is go outside, you may need to take some precautions.

The spores which are t he t iny reproduct ive particles of fungi/molds can cause more problems than pollen as they are smaller particles and can get deep into the lungs.

Not only does snow mold make allergy sufferers miserable, it can also cause some quite severe damage on lawn areas.

There are a number of fungi that can be involved including: Typhula spp., Microdochium nivale, S c ler ot i n i a b or e a l i s , non-sclerotial low temperature basidiomycete (LTB), and sclerotial low temperature basidiomycete (SLTB). While the snow is melting you may see patches of spider web like material on the turf surface. This is the mycelium which is the vegetative part of a fungus that hugs the lawn as the snow recedes. Damage shows up on the turf as circular dead patches that are anywhere from a few inches to a foot in diameter. When damage is severe it often appears like the whole lawn area

is affected.

The greatest damage will be in the more shaded damp areas where the snow takes a little longer to melt away. This year, due to the heavy snow cover t he snow mold will likely be especially bad. The fungi are able to grow at temperatures right around the freezing point but the spores w i l l sur v ive over t he summer and are easily spread through mowing or foot traffic. It will not usually kill off the entire turf areas but it may take most of the summer for affected turf to recover.

You can reduce the amount of snow mold that occurs by ensuring you do not over fertilize your lawn later in the summer.

High levels of nitrogen make plant tissue soft and succulent and more susceptible to injury. Using a slow release fertilizer is generally a better idea t h a n a qu ic k-r e le a s e fertilizer late in the season. It is also important to continue to mow the lawn until all growth has

stopped and to clean up leaves that have dropped on lawn areas. Reduce excess thatch by mowing correctly, aerating and power raking if necessary. Avoid compaction by avoiding walking on lawn areas – even on top of the snow.

Snow mold injury is often superficial and only affects leaf blade tissue.

However, when infesta-

tion is severe, the entire plant may die. On areas that have been affected, lightly rake to encourage drying. Try not to breathe in the spores or the dust that will be present even if you do not generally get allergic reactions. As the season progresses you may want to overseed larger areas to help hasten the recovery.

The current government has failed seniors during this pandemic. Too many seniors are struggling to live with dignity on a limited fixed-income. That is why I am voting to increase the Old Age Security benefit.

Heritage Co-op, Neepawa-Gladstone Co-op, and the Minnedosa Lion’s club have partnered with Grizzly and Mark Saler to donate 200 stuffed St. Bernard puppies to children at local hospitals in Minnedosa, Neepawa and Brandon. Grizzly is a 150 pound licensed St. Bernard therapy dog who visits local hospitals bringing smiles to the faces of those he meets.

Over the past few years, Grizzly and Mark have volunteered their time each week, but since the Covid-19 pandemic they have temporarily had to stop their visits. Mark was determined to find a way to continue to support the patients that he and Grizzly work with, so these stuffed animals will be given to children in hospital to help remind them that someone is thinking about them.

• 43 cases in the Winnipeg health region.
