Call in the volunteers

W

ars are fought on the battle front, but they are won at home. The volunteers at home supported every battle or war to the point that without them, all would have been lost.

US Civil War had the sanitation commission that saved thousands of lives. During WWI there was the Red Cross knitting. If you were a beginner or a child, then it was simple scarves, if you were experienced, you knitted socks and balaclavas.

WWII saw a repeat performance by thousands of volunteers and their knitting needles. War bonds or Victory Bonds raised millions of dollars, sometimes pennies at a time.

The people of Britain tore up the rose beds to plant gardens and saved every scrap of food to fatten a hog to stave off malnutrition.

At the evacuation of Dunkirk, it didn’t matter the size of your vessel or your experience level, you answered the call, knowing the risks. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were saved by people sailing little boats. During Neepawa’s July 1 f lood, volunteers drove trucks, brought food and dry socks, filled and loaded sandbags.

Our latest war or battle is COVID-19, a global pandemic, an epic battle at

home and abroad.

In this battle, it seems our soldiers, our enlisted paid workers, were on their own. It wasn’t because volunteers weren’t willing and able, it’s because they were shunted out of the way.

Volunteers were swept aside in a tidal wave of bureaucratic stupidity. Instead of being able to help the health care soldiers, and perhaps save lives, the soldiers were left to fight on their own and many lives may have been uneccesarily lost.

Yes, ma k i ng mask s, doi ng our individual bit by social distancing, reducing contact, being kind, giving up birthdays and “normal” family celebrations of life and remembrances of passed loved ones, that all helped, perhaps.

But that core of VOLUNTEERS, who are attached to every personal care home and hospital I have been in, were told to STAY OUT! This core, or should it be Corps, in normal times took the weight off the enlisted paid staff, the foot soldiers.

Former federal cabinet minister Shelly Glover, with her experience and commanding presence, now has the ear of the main stream media. She has given those volunteers who were denied the opportunity to assist a voice. The

The Wife Takes a Turn Christine Waddell

story of being the “lock downs/denial of entry to assist” is well known. Many volunteers cried out,“Put me through the screening process. I’ll help push wheel chairs, bring a cup of water, hold a hand, pick up that which is out of reach, bring a comforting word.” Vulnerable, sick and dying people don’t need more rules, they need compassion.

Our volunteers are not ignorant of the requirements and responsibilities of these times.

Why oh, why did we not use our volunteers, that precious resource that has won battles for us for centuries?

Volunteers are sung as heroes in “normal” times. They have the experience and often have time. Why were they punted in this horrible war?

The area where the battle losses have

been the greatest, where the victims of C-19 were at the greatest risk, trapped and unable to make their own decisions or understand the cause of the disruption in their lives was kept almost void of volunteers.

That is the area where we left the “enlisted” to struggle shorthanded, as families stood at a distance and watched the enfeebled and elderly suffer. That is where we denied the “home-front” their rightful place in our latest war.

May people rally around Shelly Glover and every other volunteer in our communities to ensure this mistake not only stops happening, but never happens again.

A false Gospel - The Jehovah’s Witnesses part one

Before getting into our subject, we need a quick preface. Estimations put the number of world religions at 4,300. Wow, that’s a whole lot of religion that has led to considerable confusion. If each one of those religions profess to be true, then each one would declare the other 4,299 false. But they can’t all be right, which begs the question - which one is true? By looking for the one that is distinct from all others, I believe we have the answer.

All but one depend on the achievements or merits of the followers to earn their hoped for final destination to the beyond. Christianity is the only one where eternal life is not achieved by one’s merits, but solely on the merit of Jesus Christ who lived a holy, blameless and righteous life; and by His atoning work on the cross, achieved eternal life for those who adore and worship Him. As mentioned last week, I’m doing a short series on several religions or worldviews that most of you are familiar with and compare them to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Let’s begin with the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses started off as a Bible study in Pennsylvania in 1870, initiated by Charles Taze Russell.

The students became known as Russellites but eventually became known as Jehovah’s Witnesses. The first governing body was known as Zion’s Watch Tower Tract Society, then became The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society as it’s known today. For years they used the King James and the American Standard Versions of the Bible until they completed their own version, called the New World

RiveRs BanneR Est. 1908

STAFF

Translation of the Holy Scriptures. The “translation” was completed in 1961 and is purported to be an accurate translation of the original Hebrew/Aramaic (Old Testament) and Greek (New Testament) languages. The Watch Tower has published countless pieces of literature, besides the NWT, that contradict the Bible and which deceivingly say the Bible is God’s Word and it can be trusted. I most certainly agree, but there are concerns: •They no longer use an actual Bible as the two I have mentioned, but have their own version.

•The “translators” had limited to no knowledge of the original languages, therefore, the NWT is not a literal translation as many of our modern English language Bibles.

Because no legitimate Bible supported their doctrine, they had to concoct their own to support their distorted beliefs.

•The Society prefers to keep the names of these “scholarly translators” anonymous in the hopes of concealing their credentials, or lack thereof; but thanks to the internet, their identities are easily discovered. Any legitimate translation of the Bible will reveal the names of the scholars and their credentials.

Charles Russell, the first president, was a self proclaimed prophet of God as were all following presidents - but there’s a problem. They have made many “prophecies” that never came to pass, including the second coming of Christ in the years: 1878, 1881, 1914, 1918, 1925 and 1975. Let’s read what the Bible says on the matter: •Deuteronomy 18:21,22 - “You may say to your your-

selves, ‘How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?’ If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken…”

Well that’s clear as day. The false prophecies the group have issued have never come true, and each time an event didn’t transpire, a yarn was spun explaining the reason, but it seems they realized their folly after 1975. Ironically, the NWT contains the same verse as the one we just read.

Their own book refutes them! The Jehovah’s Witnesses claim to be the one true faith that has been given special revelation by God which is nonsense. They are classified as a “Counterfeit Christianity,” because on the surface they look legitimate. They refer to themselves as Christians using words from the Bible such as: gospel, salvation, atonement, resurrection and ascension. They are fake Christians and anything but disciples of Jesus Christ. Oh, and by the way, if they knock on enough doors, hand out enough literature or do whatever it is they’re supposed to, they just possibly maybe may, but not for sure, earn eternal life.

Next week we’ll have a look into the NWT and compare it with the Word of God. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, I can be reached at jgklassen@ icloud.com

here is any number of quotes about time. This one came up in my gratitude journal– “The bad news: time f lies. The good news: you are the pilot”. It is an interesting time to embark on this daily writing, for the questions are more challenging to answer in this time of isolation and seclusion.

Each day begins with the opportunity to record what elicits gratitude. That, for me, is easy– I have enough. Enough food, shelter, love, freedom, support.

I have enough. The purpose of this journal is also to promote growth. Mental and spiritual growth. Questions like– when was the last time you did something for the first time? Right now– perhaps I can change the type of cereal I have each morning! Or– what got you excited this past week? True challenges to find the extraordinary in the very ordinary.

I am thankful, grateful, that I am the pilot of my time. Never have I had as much time to consider time as I have this past year. And it has been almost a year since the virus has dominated the news and our conversations. The time has passed quickly– it has, for me, f lown. It’s Sunday and then it’s Sunday again! I missed Easter, Thanksgiving was toned way down– two people! I missed Christmas and Lord

willing, I will have a toned down birthday. The days, weeks and months smoothly glide by…may it not be years…

When I look back at this year, the year of the pandemic, the unprecedented year, how will my craft have navigated the time? For I am the pilot.

The downsizing began several years ago and there are few items in my home that I am now willing to part with. Some extras are gifts from those who love and know me, some are things of beauty that fill my heart just seeing them on a shelf or the wall. There are empty shelves in the kitchen cabinets, the storage closets and space on the rods in the bedroom closets. The holiday albums are in order, years of paper shredded. I have used my time moderately well. That is my physical world.

There have been a few books that I have read and re-read. Books on joy, on inner peace, on life. Few books of fiction. I have avoided the books on the survivors of both the holocausts and the residential schools. There will be a time when these books call for me, not now, not in a season that is already shadowed and grey. I have found the music of two Manitoba artists that speak to me, speak for me. It has become my custom to listen to their words and music first thing in the morning and I am amazed at how the chords echo and resound throughout my day. Contact with friends and family have become precious gifts. I am satisfied with how I have piloted my craft for spiritual growth.

And that leaves the physical world. Now, to be honest, this world of mine could stand improving!

The walking has been easy, as has the eating. Need to speak to the pilot on this topic!

he other day, I wanted to replace a light bulb in my night light. However, the bulb slipped out of my hand and exploded on the kitchen f loor. It splintered over a great part of the f loor.. I walked back and forth several times to make sure I picked up all the tiny pieces.

It made me think that sometimes, our life seems to explode and splinter into tiny little piece and we grieve and mourn the loss. It is difficult to put all the pieces back together and continue on with life. I think of the family who lost two children. I knew another family who years ago lost their two sons.

I can not relate to this, but God can. He sent His Son to this earth because of His love for us. Jesus had to pay a cruel death on a cross for our redemption.

One of my favourite verses over the years has been 2 Corinthians 12:9 where the Lord tells Paul, “My grace is suff icient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

May God’s grace be present during this time of hardship.

New public health orders for Feb. 1

Fol low i n g fe e dba c k from Man itobans and advice from public health leaders, the province is loosening a variety of restrictions while ensuring protocols are in place to protect Manitobans from the risks of COVID-19, Premier Brian Pallister and Dr. Brent Roussin, Manitoba’s chief provincial health officer, announced today.

“Today is another big day for Manitobans, especially for our local businessowners who are eager to safely reopen their doors, and provide the goods and services that Manitobans have missed the past few months,” said Pallister.

“With fewer restrictions, we must remain cautious, in fact, even morecautious. In the absence of COVID-19 vaccines from the federal government, following the fundamentals is how we continue to protect each other and save lives.”

The orders will formalize the following changes for all of Manitoba, replacing the General COVID-19 Prevention Orders made on Jan. 28 and the Northern Manitoba COVID-19 Prevention Orders made on Feb. 1, 2021. The orders will take effect at 12:01 a.m. on Feb. 12 and will last for three weeks. The orders include the following changes, with further pandemic safety measures in place: • allowing restaurants and licensed premises to reopen at 25 per cent capacity with patron groups limited to members of the same household only; • allowing outdoor rinks to reopen for casual sports as well as organized practices and games, with multiteam tournaments not permitted; • allowing gyms, fitness centres and yoga studios to reopen at 25 per cent capacity; • allowing indoor sporting facilities such as rinks, gymnastic clubs and martial arts studios to reopen at 25 per cent capacity for individual instruction only; • allowing places of worship to hold regular religious services if a service does not exceed 10 per cent of usual capacity or 50 people, whichever is lower; • allowing self-help groups

for persons dealing with addictions or other behaviours to hold meetings at 25 per cent capacity of the premise where meetings take place; • allowing museums, art galleries and libraries to operate at 25 per cent capacity; • allowing personal service businesses, such as those providing pedicures, electrolysis, cosmetic application, tanning, tattooing or massage services to reopen at 25 per cent capacity; • allowing photographers and videographers to offer services to individual clients or those residing in the same household in addition to providing services at weddings, with the exception of visiting client homes; and • allowing the film industry to operate fully with physical distancing and other safety measures in place.

“These new orders allow us to resume more activities and services we enjoy, but we cannot let our guard down yet,”said Roussin.

“We will continue to carefully monitor COVID-19 developments and case numbers to ensure we protect each other and our health-care system. Manitobans need to continue to follow the fundamentals at all times including staying home when sick, frequent handwashing and wearing masks. We all have a part to play in keeping our COVID-19 curve down so we can continue making measured progress towards getting back to the things we love.” The new orders also bring the entire province under the same restrictions, where the northern region had previously been under separate orders to curb the spread of COVID-19 in the region.

Under the new orders, northern Manitoba will see the changes listed above in addition to the restrictions in place over the last three weeks for the rest of the province including: • household visitor restrictions of up to two designated people, • visits of five people plus members of a household on an outdoor private property,

• retail stores open at 25 per cent capacity or 250 people maximum with adequate physical distancing, and • non-regulated health services, hair salons and barbershops open with 25 per cent capacity and adequate physical distancing.

Since Feb. 4, over 33,000 responses were provided on the proposed changes to the orders. Feedback indicated: • 65 per cent of respondents felt somewhat or ver y comfortable going to restaurants; • 57 per cent of respondents felt somewhat or very comfortable going to the gym or to a yoga studio; and • opening food services was ranked the highest priority for respondents, followed by opening personal services like nail salons and tattoo parlors, allowing gyms to reopen for individual training and a l low ing outdoor organized outdoor sports to resume for games or practices.

Final sur vey results will be posted on the EngageMB website once compiled.

MB Teachers Society: Funding falls short

Submitted

Manitoba Teachers Society

The provincial government’s failure to adequately fund public education, for five years in a row, will have dire and long-lasting effects on the delivery of education and student outcomes for Manitoba students.

“The government boasts that this is the most funding public education has ever received, but that’s only half the story,” said MTS President James Bedford.

“What is missing from this narrative is the fact that this funding is not enough to meet the increasing needs of Manitoba’s K-12 student population.”

Bedford also said that increased resources will be required to meet students’ recovery learning needs following the pandemic.

Today’s investment of 1.56 per cent continues the government’s trend of funding public education below

the rate of inflation. When capital funding is deducted from the total, the amount of funding going into Manitoba classrooms is barely 1 per cent.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced the important role of public education in our society.

It has also highlighted the significant inequities in the system,” Bedford said.

“With everything that has happened in the past year, the government’s continued refusal to invest in public education is incomprehensible.”

The government has continued to tighten the purse strings on education funding, and with the impending release of the recommendations from the K-12 education review, there is concern that schools will have to make tough choices about staffing and programming, Bedford said.

“We have said from day one, that any additional costs to implementing the

K-12 recommendations must come with adequate funding.

There is simply no room for extras,” he said. “At the end of the day, when the government does not fulfill its funding responsibility, it’s the students that suffer and quite frankly that is unacceptable.”

The government also announced a $5.5 million increase to special needs funding.

“We are pleased to see that government is responding to concerns we have been raising around special needs funding,” Bedford said. “We look forward to hearing the details on how these funds will be used in the classrooms to meet these diverse student needs.”

In a recent poll conducted

by Viewpoints Research, on behalf of The Manitoba Teachers’ Society, the majority of Manitobans (64 per cent) said that the province should spend more on education.

Our disappearing headlines

John Feldsted Rivers Banner

pass a broad range of outlets in various markets. Local flavour and interest disappeared.

Media concentration killed off local content.

There are crocodile tears in the major paper plea. Some lost advertising has migrated to cable, internet, radio and TV outlets owned by the same consortiums. Smaller market newspapers are left out in the cold. Our governments can limit media ownership (all types) in any market of over 500,000 population (12 cities, 10.9 million pop.) to 25 per cent, from 100,000 to 499,000 (42 cities, 8.5 Million pop.) to 33 per cent and from 50,000 to 99,000 (45 cities, 3.3 million pop) to 50 per cent. That would help to restore media diversity and independence.

Coupled with that, they can require internet giants to turn over proportionate amounts of their advertising revenue to newspapers. If they sell $500,000 in advertising in markets with a population of $500,000 or more, local papers will receive 75 per cent or $375,000 of that revenue.

The giants keep the equivalent of the 25 per cent ownership limitation.

T

his piece was motivated by major newspapers who are decrying the loss of advertising revenues as well as large Internet players using newspaper news stories without compensation.

You can learn more at: www. levellingthedigitalplayingfield.ca This is serious business. Canadian newspaper advertising revenues hit a high of $3.88 billion in 2008 and by 2019 were down to $1.41 billion.

Newspapers are in trouble, some of it of their own making.

Let’s start with the truism that local papers must print local news or perish, and a successful local paper has to sell enough advertising to hire the reporters and editors to produce a paper with significant local content.

A handful of giants dominate the Canadian media.

They own most of the cable, internet, magazine, newspaper, radio and television outlets. To cut costs, they eliminated local editors and reporters, moving those duties up to higher levels that encom-

Newspapers can help themselves by agreeing on a standard size from the 15 or so currently in use. That makes cooperative (group) ownership or use of printing presses viable. Newspaper print presses are enormously expensive and require special buildings, support equipment and operators. The costs are beyond the means of all but the largest circulation papers.

The government can help by requiring Canada Post to treat newspaper bundles as parcels to facilitate delivery.

Currently papers are left behind the parcel rush and are being delivered up to a week late even with a region.

This is particularly important in rural areas. We have 301 towns with a population of under 50,000. Their collective population is about 5 million.

Media concentration has strangled press freedom.

“The Press” is 10,000 times more than a product to be delivered the next day or week.

“The Press” is a constitutionally protected living thing, able to bring down giants who become arrogant and abusive as well as to educate

us in the nuances of ballet in ordinary language. The press is our comfort when we grieve and our sword when we face injustice. The press keeps us aware of our surroundings and unifies us in community and national endeavours.

We have suffered through several months of sterile avoidance of everything in life that matters to us. We know firsthand how inadequate electronic communications are and how devastating keeping away from those we love and respect is.

Local papers will play a major role in helping us return to normal. Not the ‘new normal’ politicians hope we will accept, but the normal we demand now that we are acutely aware of how much we took for granted until we lost control and access. We can and will do so much better in future.

A tip of the hat to Ken Waddell, owner of the Neepawa Banner & Press who is a favourite critic, editor and friend, and the late Merv Farmer, who owned the Stonewall Argus and was the

inspiration for me to put pen to paper.
