s r e p or t e d i n t he March 9 edition, the Grade 12 Interdisciplinary Studies in Science class at Rivers Collegiate planned a project for Riverdale Harvest.

Dubbed the Boat Load of Food, students secured a canoe from Rolling River School Division with an intent to f ill it with non-perishables. Although the campaign was fully organized by that class, the original idea came from a suggestion made by harvest volunteer Liliane Dupuis.

“I heard the idea at a meeting in Brandon. St. Augustine School had tried Fill a Canoe in conjunction with the 10-day Festival du Voyaguer in Winnipeg in February. It was very successful and whenever I hear food bank, my ears always perk up!”

She then brought the suggestion to Riverdale Harvest, which supported the idea and asked her to present the promo-

tion to the schools.

Pupils co-ordinated the entire month-long promotion, which culminated in a ceremonious presentation on March 20 to Riverdale Harvest president Heather Gray and Liliane.

Because the snow had melted so much, the canoe could not be portaged across the street to Zion Church (home of Riverdale Harvest). Rather, the teens carried bags, boxes and garbage

cans from the school foyer into the church basement the afternoon of March 21, where the food was weighed and sorted.

Although the project was a senior students brainstorm, the entire high school was encouraged to participate. The collegiate hosted a poor boy floor hockey tournament in which to play, athletes had to pay with food for the canoe. Some students also canvassed Rivers, Oak River

ast week, I put out a call for people to give me their thoughts on COVID-19 and especially about the care homes. Unlike our normal practise, I didn’t ask people to provide their names as some of the stories might come back and bite the writers. I just felt that it was important that all the people who died, especially those in care, did not die in vain. I think they would have wanted and their families would want some good to come out of this pandemic.

C-19 isn’t the first pandemic. To date, about 22,000 have died of C-19 in Canada, mostly older people. In the 1918 pandemic, the so-called Spanish Flu, 55,000 people died and the percentage of younger people was much higher, reportedly, than with COVID-19 Here are some ideas that have come so far, and I invite more.

•My mother lives in our local PCH (town not named) and like everyone else, has not been allowed out for almost a year. It makes very little sense to me that my wife and I can visit here whenever we want, but cannot take her to our house.

•Can anyone explain to me why the staff at our PCH had to make an appointment to get the vaccine in Winnipeg when the residents were having

someone come in from Winnipeg to give them their shot? Counting the vet and the pharmacist, we must have 10 people capable of giving a needle.

Editor’s note: We pay to have someone come to the care home to vaccinate residents, but staff have to drive to Winnipeg. Did staff get wages or mileage to go?

•I think it’s a really important thing you’re doing, allowing people to tell their stories anonymously. So many things happened and so many deaths occurred that shouldn’t have if staffing had been appropriate and if relatives had been allowed to help.

It was heartbreaking to see how many elderly died from neglect and alone. I’m

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell was no protection from rolling out of bed. A worker showed me a bed that could be lowered, but my mother didn’t happen to have one. There was a leaf on her wheelchair that meant that she was at risk of falling. Well, one night she fell out of bed and was only bruised. She

so thankful my mother died a few years ago, at the age of 100 and missed this pandemic.

Even though she was well looked after in the local nursing home (no town named), something happened there that shouldn’t have. An order went out that all protective side rails were to be zip-tied down to the bed frame so there

fell out two nights later and broke her arm– her first broken bone in 98 years! In a “safe” place. Sometimes, people in charge don’t think of consequences. They just follow orders.

I likened it to taking down a schoolyard fence without having something else in

place to protect kids from traffic. Are the elderly less valuable than children?

•Something that puzzled me while Mom was in care was why did staff have to take on other jobs to make ends meet? One fellow was working at a pig barn. At the same time, this nursing home was hiring nurses from Ontario and putting them up at the motel and paying for their meals. I just didn’t get it. Maybe someone can explain that.

Editor’s note: The care homes and hospitals have been using contract workers for years.

They sometimes travel long distances with the mileage cost and hotel and meals being paid by the particular facility. Does it make sense to have staff work half time and then have to get another job all the while paying extra costs for mileage, hotels and meals?

I suspect there are several places to lay the blame for this practise, but it makes no sense and costs a lot of money.

A false Gospel - Jehovah’s Witnesses part three

This week we’ll take a look at the Jehovah’s Witnesses perspective of Jesus Christ with that of Christianity. A Christian’s belief of who Christ is, revealed to each one by the Holy Spirit, will be in agreement with Holy Scripture.

Both undeniably reveal Jesus Christ as God who manifested Himself in the flesh and dwelt amongst us two thousand years ago, and last week I said, in accordance with the Bible, there is one God consisting of three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; Jesus Christ being the second person of the Trinity. Scripture reveals Christ as the Living Word of God, but more than that, the Apostle John says the Word was God. John 1:1 - “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” ESV - English Standard Version.

The Witnesses’ New World Translation (NWT) adds the article “a’’ in front of God which then reads “and the Word was a god” (notice the small g as well). They want you to believe that Christ is an inferior god created

by Jehovah, pointing to verses in Scripture that seem to imply this. Reading the verses alone and out of context from the rest of Scripture can easily convince someone unfamiliar with the Bible to believe the false teaching, but the dilemma can be avoided with a good understanding of the Word of God. The idea of Christ as created was not a new concoction of the JW’s, rather it became popular by a man called Arius (256-336 AD) and became known as Arianism.

The controversy resulted in the Council of Nicaea (325 AD) where leading Christians gathered and wrote the Nicene Creed, confirming the Biblical teaching that Jesus

RiveRs BanneR Est. 1908

STAFF

Christ is co-eternal along with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. Other creeds and statements followed throughout the centuries to counter other beliefs (called heresies) contrary to Scripture. Let’s look at several Bible verses confirming the deity of Christ: Matthew 1:23 - “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel - which means God with us.” NIV - New International Version.

Luke 5:20,21 - “When He saw their faith, He said to Him, ‘Man your sins are forgiven you.’ And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, ‘Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?’” NKJV - New King James.

But what about Jesus? Did He make claims to be equal with God? Yes He did.

John 10:30 - “I and the Father are one.” NASB - New American Standard Version John 14:9,10,11 - “...He that hath seen me hath seen the Father...Believest thou not that I am in the Father and the Father in me? Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me…’” ASV - American Standard Version.

The ASV Bible just quoted from is a 1901 edition printed and distributed by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, which they used along with the KJV prior to the development of their own “translation”. The NWT doesn’t quote Jesus as being one with the Father, but rather they are “in union with” each other meaning they were only in agreement with one another. But there’s a problem here.

The Jewish leaders didn’t conspire to kill Christ because he was a created being working in harmony with God, but that He claimed to be God.

John 5:18 - “Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He not only had broken the Sabbath, but said also that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.” KJV - King James Version It was Jesus Christ’s claim to be equal with God the Father that led to His crucifixion.

Another problem with the NWT version of John 1:1 arises when He is worshiped and glorified in the New Testament. In order to see the contradiction look at the words of God in the Old Testament starting with the First Commandment: Deuteronomy 5:7 - “You shall have no other gods before me.”

Isaiah 42:8 - “...I will not yield my glory to another…”

Isaiah 43:10b - “Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me.”

Where Christ is worshiped in the New Testament, the NWT instead uses the phrase “give obeisance to.” The deception is to show they honour, respect and pay homage to Jesus, but in reality He is not given the worship He is due. Jesus says in the Gospel of John that if we love, obey and serve Him, God the Father will love us and when the Son is glorified, so is the Father.

The matter of a triune God is difficult to fathom but it is one of the key doctrines of Christianity clearly put forth in the Bible and will be the subject of a future letter.

By Rita Friesen Dear Diary,

T

his gratitude journal has offered countless opportunities to ref lect, to become even more introspective and to articulate my creed and passions. Considering that I am an intuitive introvert, to actually increase these traits borders on overkill!

Truthfully, the challenge to articulate my creed and passions is a good thing, and that is from someone considered articulate…So this daily journaling is a good thing.

One of the challenges I faced was to do something new. In this time of relative isolation, the opportunity to go out and embrace a new thing was thought provoking. I settled on brushing my teeth with my left hand rather than my right. The first attempt was painful, to say the least. There is research proving that learning new things, or even a new way to an old activity is beneficial to maintaining the brain’s health. My sister encouraged me to learn a new language, that did not score high on my interest radar.

Almost every day, the diary poses the questions; what are you thankful for, what will you stop doing, and what will you start doing? The thankful part is really easy- health, home, friends and family, and the reality that I have enough. What will I stop doing?

Yikes. I stopped biting my nails back in high school, I stopped comparing myself to others a decade or so ago, I stopped blaming others for who and what I am with the help of accredited counsellors– also decades ago. Only one cup of coffee a day, the occasional social drink, limited amounts of chocolate– ordinary practical life choices. Perhaps if the times were what we called normal it would be easier to see what I need to stop doing. What will I start doing? Reading books that are good for me? Who is to determine which book at which point in my life is the one that will be good for me? Only I can discern that– so I closed my eyes and picked one book out of the unread pile! And it was good for me. I could also begin to ease up on the procrastinating. I think I hear an “Amen” from the staff at The Banner. With all the free time I have, it is easy to leave one more thing for tomorrow.

The quotes that start each day are one of the highlights. The discipline of a daily task is good for me and even after this book is filled, I will start another gratitude journal, a diary of thankfulness.

One quote this week that set me thinking, “Always be a first rate version of yourself and not a second rate version of someone else.” I don’t recall a time when I tried to be someone other than myself. In high school, I had a couple of friends that were also free thinkers, within the boundaries of kindness and honesty. I also can’t think of many that would wish to be me! Another quote, “How we spend our days is, logically, how we spend our lives.” And doesn’t this pandemic show us that! This isolation has been our normal for about a year, in varying degrees, and it has become our life.

Observation

uring the last few months, I received a handwritten letter from three of my great grandchildren.

They were not made out on a computer and sent via e-mail. No, they came via the Post Office. I was thrilled to receive this mail. I wonder how children and grown-ups could get inspired to write a letter to their loved ones, who might be in isolation. The door might be locked to go in, but the mail will certainly be delivered and someone can read it.

It made me think of all the letters that were written in the Bible. Paul wrote many letters in the New Testament, as he was inspired by God. Let us pick up paper and pen and write a letter. It will bless someone. Maybe it is outdated to do so, but our times right now feel like never before. It takes some adjustment, but it will be worth it all.

God teaches us to think of those around us and share some love around. This is one way of doing it.

Submitted Esther Krahn For many years, churches in Rivers have joined together for a World Day of Prayer Service. Representatives from the churches meet to plan the service which is usually held the first Friday of March. The services are planned and written by different groups of Christian women from around the world. This years service was written and prepared by

women from Vanuato. Due to current restrictions around group gatherings because of Covid 19, the service for this year has been cancelled.

An online service has been planned by the Women’s Inter-church council of Canada and can be accessed by going to their website at wicc@ wicc.org. We encourage you to check out the service and listen to it online. It is also available on their Facebook page. The service was to be hosted by Rivers Community

Church this year and so they will serve as hosts for next year. So, while we cannot gather in person to join Christians locally and around the world for prayer, we can still remember to pray for our local communities, our provincial and federal governments and for decision makers around the world as difficult decisions and choices are being made.

For information/questions regarding this service, please feel free to contact Esther Krahn at 204-328-7189.

The Riverdale District Health Auxiliary is still alive and well even though we have not met since March 2020. Due to COVID our Spring Tea was cancelled as were other fundraisers we are usually involved in.

In spite of that we were able to meet our mandate by donating to various health and community projects. Our

donations were $13,629.69.

We donated to the Rivers Fire Department, Rivers Rehab Centre, Rivers PCH, Child and Family Services, Rivers Lab & Xray, Rivers Collegiate Grad Award and the Kid’s Club. We also sent gift baskets to the staff at our medical facilities We continue to keep in touch with each there and

we look forward to the time when we can again meet in person. We appreciate the support we have received from Rivers and area in our fundraising efforts. The is your money at work in the community. We cannot do what we do without you.

Stay safe every one. Submitted by Lynn Madden (president.)

Whether you’re skating, playing hockey, or ice fishing on a Manitoba river or lake for your catch-of-theday, spending time out on the ice can be an enjoyable outdoor activity, but it also comes with some inherent dangers. Ice seldom freezes uniformly. It may be thick in one location, but thin only a few steps away.

As ice conditions change throughout the year, it can become cloudy or rotten.

‘Rotten’ ice has frozen and thawed repeatedly, making it fragile and unsafe.Before you spend a day out on the hard water, plan ahead and keep these safety tips in mind: • Before you leave shore, check the weather and inform someone of your destination and expected time of return. Never go onto ice alone or at night.

• Test ice for thickness and stability. New ice is usually stronger than old ice. 10 cm of clear, newly formed ice may support one person on foot, while 30 cm or more of old, or partially thawed ice may not. Obey any posted

warning signs.

• Don’t trust the ice. Just because t here may be footsteps or snowmobile tracks, it doesn’t mean the ice is safe. Access points near boat launches and snowmobile trails, especially later in the year when salt, sand, and gravel are tracked in, can weaken the ice.

• Avoid ice near generating stations or hydro dams as fluctuating water levels and current can cause unstable ice conditions.

• Keep away from unfamiliar paths, unknown ice, and ice that forms near streams, bridges and culverts. Bogs can trap air pockets and pressure ridges can pull apart, exposing open water.

• Carry rescue equipment such as ice picks, a rope, a cell phone, and first aid kit. Wear a floatation suit or lifejacket whenever you are on the ice. It could save your life!

• Avoid vehicle travel on ice whenever possible. Snow acts as an insulating blanket, which can slow down the freezing process and reduce how much weight the ice can support. If you must drive a vehicle, be prepared
