Overhaul needed

2 Rivers Banner June 18, 2021

F

or what it’s worth, I believe our criminal justice system needs a major overhaul.

Let’s set the parameters here. I do not believe in capital punishment. While there is a ton of information out there that would indicate that capital punishment is the way to go, I disagree. I know the Bible clearly outlines, in the Old Testament, that death is the penalty for a multitude of sins. However, the Old Testament is not where we are are supposed be living today, it’s the New Testament and Jesus clearly taught that we are to love one another.

In the process of loving one another, we fulfill the law. So what law is he speaking of ? He’s talking about the original basic laws as handed down in the Ten Commandments and in those 10 statements, it clearly says that we should not kill. That includes capital punishment, in my view.

Then there is the whole wrongful conviction situation. Canada’s history has cases where a person was put to death, usually by hanging, and later it was found out that they were not guilty. Oops! It’s bit late to say sorry.

There have also been people charged with murder and put in jail for decades only to be found not guilty at a later date. At least they survived and could resume some semblance of a normal

life when the truth came out.

So, in my mind, killing is out, no matter how g reat t he temptat ion might be. Even the most despicable of crimes should not be met with a state imposed death. I feel that is what God has taught us and when we walk away from God’s Word, we are in all kinds of other trouble.

What do we do in light of the alleged, cold-blooded murder of an RCMP officer in Saskatchewan this past weekend?

Allegedly, he was run down by two people driving a stolen truck. They allegedly f led the scene, stole another truck and eventually were arrested.

What do we do with these kinds of cases?

The two involved were allegedly wanted for other crimes and have had a very sketchy past that has been dangerous to themselves and people they came in contact with.

We have countless cases of repeat offenders for murder, assault, drug dealing, theft and general abuse of the public by offenders. One friend of mine said, at least with capital punishment, death that is, there aren’t repeat offenders.

There is another solution. If, in this most recent case, if the statement about the alleged killing of the police officer and the earlier crimes are true, these people should have already been in a high security jail. For the protection of

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell the public and themselves, they should have been in jail. In jail forever perhaps.

It drives me crazy when we see photos and warnings to women and children about some guy who has been a chronic sex offender, perhaps even a murderer, and now he’s being released to live in a community. Often there is proviso, that he’s dangerous and likely to re-offend.

That’s insane. If a person is a sex offender or murderer, they should be in jail, in an institution, forever.

Why we tie up police resources chasing after repeat offenders and, in some cases, very dangerous repeat offenders, is beyond me. Clean it up, put them away.

With that solution, the cry will be human rights and costs. Here’s my answer.

If you commit murder or other very serious offences, you lose your human right to freedom. You keep your right to life, but you get to live in an environment that is relatively safe for you and, perhaps more importantly, for everybody else.

As for the costs, it’s cheaper to build jails than it is to bring a police officer back to life, to bring anyone else back to life. It’s cheaper to build jails than it is to repair the damage done by violent sex and other assault offences.

We operate our society in a very stupid fashion. We need to address the problems and fix the problems. If we send a strong enough message, maybe people intent on violence will think twice about offending.

Thou shalt not kill (or destroy lives) needs to be enforced, as it obviously isn’t working the way it’s going now.

God said thou shalt not kill but love one another. Part of loving one another is preventing harm both to the innocent and the guilty and it’s high time we did.

The Queen of Heaven - part one

When you read the Book of Jeremiah in the Old Testament of the Bible, you’ll come across the title queen of heaven. What comes to mind when you hear that term? There were two that came to my mind but I googled to see what else popped up. So now I have three that I would like to discuss from a Christian and historical viewpoint.

First, we’ll start with Greek mythology where Zeus was believed to be the King of the Gods ruling from Mount Olympus. Hera was his sister and wife, thereby making her Queen of the Gods. She was worshipped as the goddess of marriage and women and also known as the Queen of Heaven. As myths, we know that Hera and the rest of the ancient Greek gods don’t exist.

Secondly, and in some faiths, the title is given to Mary, who was a real historical person, having given birth to Jesus Christ as written in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. There has even been a doctrine developed concerning Mary called Mariology.

I’ll show you what the doctrine teaches by using the Catechism of the Catholic Church followed by what the Bible teaches. The catechism, available online, has 2,865 statements and I have numbered the ones pertinent to this discussion.

492 - God blessed Mary more than any other created person and chose her to be holy and blameless before Him. •All are chosen to be holy and blameless through Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:4)

all will return? In this time frame many of our friends have aged rapidly, graduated to care facilities, become more frail, and some have passed away or moved away.

We will look different.

The thought of living in a post-Christian era is not reassuring. We do see some large church buildings not used to capacity. We do see closures and amalgamations.

Most of us have grown up in communities with a variety of houses of worship. Will they become, like the grain elevators, a memory, a picture in a history book? I have been re-reading New Harmony by John Philip Newell.

The harmony of which he writes is between the spirit, the earth and the human soul. Again, growing up in a rural setting, we know, and remember, the sense of oneness with the earth as we splashed in the puddles and ran barefoot in the warm grass. That oneness is unity, harmony, with all creation. “ There are certain places on this planet where we more immediately remember the soul of creation. They are sometimes described as thin places, translucent landscapes, where the division between spirit and matter can scarcely be discerned.

These places are like sacraments.” The difficulty is that not all have access to a sacred space, not all realize the importance, and necessity, of taking the sacraments. I do think of Susannah Wesley, mother of Charles Wesley, the prolific song writer. She bore 19 children and raised 10. Imagine the busy home without any modern conveniences. It is said that when she sat in her chair, and placed her apron over her head, her children knew that she had stepped away from the ordinary, the real, to meet with the Divine.

I do know that we will adjust to the post-pandemic world, may we never need to adjust to a post-Christian world…

uring the Monday evening chat with my sisters, a habit we developed some time ago and try to adhere to diligently, several topics surfaced. Not surprising, for we take the time to review and remember the past, share new ideas and listen with intent. Sister the Younger spoke of the novelty of the new terms. She will use pre-pandemic, and post-pandemic when sharing her life story with her grandchildren. They are very young now, and this isolation is their normal. Certainly not like the childhoods we experienced– family and friends stopping by on impulse, heading to a group gathering at grandma’s home, loud, boisterous picnics and outings. Very different times.

The terminology led to further discussion. Are we facing a post Christian era? We are both regular attenders at the service of our choice. Once the doors of our churches open, who will attend? For some of our friends and peers, attendance was a habit. We know how easy it is to break a habit, and how challenging it can be to create a good habit. It will have been close to a year since we have freely gathered, and sang, together in our faith families. It is right and good that it is so, however, when we are once again invited to join likeminded individuals ( well, mostly like-minded!) who

his weekend, we are celebrating Father’s Day. Some children will be honouring or remembering their Dad. Others might say that they have no Dad, so nothing to celebrate.

Once I needed to fill out a form and they asked me my mother’s name and then my father’s name. I told the person that I did not have a father. Well he replied that everyone has a father. Legally, I do not have a father, according to my birth certificate. I was raised by foster parents, who were my great uncle and great aunt.

However, I know there is a Father in Heaven who is there for each one of us, if we will let Him come into our life. We can celebrate knowing Him in a personal way and how much He loves us.. God knew us already before we were born, because He created us and “knit me together in my mother’s womb” (Psalm 139: 13). We can talk to Him at any time and God will always listen.

Let the Lord have His way in our life and celebrate this Father’s Day.

Response To Climate Clips I find it alarming that people still think that there is a scientific debate on the human cause of climate change. Researchers from the 1960s to the present day have made predictions about how our climate will heat. They have been extremely accurate, but did not foresee the speed at which it would happen. Just this week, in the news, Lake Mead (Hoover Dam), which supplies water to 35 million people, has dropped by the height of the Statue of Liberty. Records are being broken for heat and drought in the Western United States.

Though carbon dioxide will benefit crops under ideal conditions, when the climate becomes hostile, such as floods, droughts and heat waves, the benefits of carbon dioxide will be a non-issue.

The temperature fluctuations in the past centuries have indeed affected climate. No one is denying that.

But what is happening now is of an entirely different magnitude and entirely different pace. We are dealing with degrees of warming in decades, not centuries. If a 0.04 amount of CO2 can warm the planet and we have added 35% more CO2 in the last 150 years, is it not plausible that we may have caused the planet to heat rapidly?

China and India are continually accused of creating new coal plants. China and India have both determined that solar is by far less expensive and are switching coarse much faster then the Western World. China is manufacturing almost all of the products sold here in the West. Coal burnt in China makes it possible for you to purchase cheaper goods and China suffers the pollution. Canadians per capita contribute 3 to 4 times more greenhouse gases than the Chinese or Indians.

So we can hardly point to them as the greater problem.

Climate Clip #5 polar bears

In Al Gore's famous 2005 film “An Inconvenient Truth” there was a photograph of a polar bear balancing on an eroded pillar of ice that Gore used to suggest that climate change was melting arctic ice and polar bears would die off by drowning within 6-7 years.

In 2017 there was a gut wrenching film clip on the National Geographic and YouTube sites of a starving polar bear searching for food on bare ground suggesting that climate change was causing this species to be endangered because Arctic ice was melting.

Both photographs, although real pictures, were used in a disingenuous way to make political statements and cause alarm without presenting the facts about how polar bears really live, thrive, cycle through the seasons and eventually die.

We're going to have a look at some missing facts in this article.

The polar bear population has grown by some 500% in the past 50 years. In 1970 the population was said to be about 6000; in 2020 it was recorded at 30,000

by Dr. Susan Crockford, a Canadian zoologist. One of the big reasons for that phenomenal growth was an international treaty signed in 1973 by all the countries that touch the Arctic. In this treaty unrestricted hunting was banned. That made all the difference to the number of polar bears. But that point has not been made in the woke media, nor was the firing of Dr. Crockford from her 15 year position as a high profile speaker and professor at the university of Victoria immediately after her report was made public.

Polar bears are adapted (not evolved) from the Grizzly, a land bear that originally came from Asia and crossed the Bering Land Bridge during one of the warm periods we discussed last week. Some bears went south, others stayed in the Arctic and changed their diet from vegetative to carnivorous. So fish and seals became the prime form of food, but during the summer when the arctic ice melts the bears are capable of changing from carnivory to omnivory and eat the abundance on land – reindeer, rodents, seabirds, waterfowl, fish, eggs, kelp and berries. This is quite a diversified and healthy diet.

The food chain for the Arctic works this way: Sunlight shines through the Arctic ocean (when summer arrives and the ice melts) and causes a maximum growth of plankton. Lots of plankton allow the zooplankton to feed. Lots of zooplankton allow the fish to feed, lots of fish allow the seals to feed, lots of seals allow the polar bears to feed. So in winter with ice over the top of the world polar bears hunt seals and fish. In summer when the ice melts then the foraging diet takes over.

This is the Arctic ecology; it has worked for thousands of years and will continue to do so if man will keep his busy little fingers out of it.

While the starving bear video is hard to watch (and I did) one has to understand the life cycle of any wild animal – in youth there is vigour, energy, fatness, shininess of coat and reproduction. As age creeps up then the body starts to break down – loss of reproduction, duller coat, less energy, teeth break and wear down, body systems and muscles deteriorate, weight is lost, the hair becomes thin and overly long. All these things are visible on the video. That bear could have been very aged, very sick, or a combination. It is the cycle of life.

Nine months after the video was posted, the filmmaker, Paul Nicklen, admitted that he did not know why the bear was starving. The video was not taken down, nor was any qualifying statement added to the sensationalist quote “This is what climate change looks like” that accompanied the video and still does!

Climate alarmists need to educate themselves about how natural life and death cycles work before they go spouting off about an animal population that has increased because of conservation efforts, not decreased by climate variables.

Growing your own produce

Patricia Hanbidge Orchid Horticulture

Growing your own produce has many advantages.

Nutritionists share that we should be adopting a more plant-based diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables. Health Canada has published a newer food guide that has shifted towards recommending a high proportion of plant-based food. More importantly, it will highlight the importance of knowledge and skills relating to health and nutrition.

Last night, it all seemed to solidify with me. As with most lovely summer evenings our supper was grilled on the BBQ, and we enjoyed the repast in our very lovely back yard. Although we had grilled some chicken, it was the grilled vegetables that disappeared most quickly!

The vegetable medley was straight from the garden with peppers, onions, zucchini, and tomatoes all seasoned with fresh herbs (mostly basil of course). Watching the vegetables being rapidly consumed gave me "food for thought" for this article.

Plants offer us a host of health benefits, bringing fibre, vitamins and minerals. What they also offer us is suggestions that they also contain compounds that prevent a number of life threatening diseases which cannot be substituted with dietary supplements.

All this and I have not even mentioned the exquisite taste of what we grow ourselves.

As a horticulturist, I of course appreciate and even need to have that daily fix of growing things. Growing food to me is extremely important to my green thumb and my prowess as a chef. It all stemmed from the satisfaction I gleaned from feeding my family food that I grew with my own hands. A current student also asked me a question recently that also came to mind. Is the food we produce now as nutritious as the food produced a long time ago. As this student had just turned twenty, a long time ago may be rather relative!

It is true that fruits and vegetables grown decades ago were richer in vitamins and minerals, than most we grow today. This disturbing trend is due to soil depletion.

Modern, intensive cropping has stripped increasing amounts of nutrients from the soil which in turn produces less nutrient rich food. There is a reason why a tomato tended and cherished by a home gardener, tastes better than one produced in a large grow operation.

Do keep in mind if you are producing anything that you wish to harvest it is essential to ensure you are supplying water and nutrients in the proper levels. If you expect production you have to supply

The strategy is being formed through respectful and constr uct ive d ia log ue with front-line teachers, principals and school staff, educational experts and parents who know first-hand the needs of t hei r ch i ld ren,” sa id Cullen. “We have had t remendou s res pon se and feedback from our teacher listening tour, parent engagement panels and telephone town halls. It is through these t y pes of engagements that will help build the roadmap for all Manitoban students to achieve success and a prosperous future.

The Better Education Starts Today: Putting Students First strategy was developed in re-

the inputs to allow the plants to grow optimally. I use a slow release fertilizer when I plant my containers but throughout the entire growing season I also fertilize with a diluted fertilizer each time I water.

This ensures that all plants are receiving all that they need to bountifully produce.

In my back garden, which is by the way completely grown in containers with a soil mix I make myself, I have a cornucopia of colours, shapes and sizes of many delectable vegetables.

Choosing a wonderful blend of the colours of your homegrown food adds compounds called phytochemicals to the diet. These compounds provide a variety of roles to the plant itself but for those of us consuming them, they give us padding against aging, sharpen our minds and protect us from many ills.

Hippocrates proclaimed almost 2500 years ago: "Let food be thy medicine and medicine by thy food." We love the idea that food can be the answer to our health and that if we eat nutritious food, we will not need medicine or supplements. How fitting that our medical professionals also concur that if we heap our plates with fresh fruits and vegetables, we will be closer to optimal health.

May your garden be a plentiful provider!

sponse to the Kindergarten to Grade 12 Commission’s recommendations on kindergarten to Grade 12 education, as well as learnings from the COV ID -19 pandemic.

Of the 75 recommendations from Manitoba’s commission, the BEST strategy accepts 60 recommendations and accepts the remaining 15 in principle. Through four pillars of student success, the strateg y examines many critical issues that affect student learning, such as poverty, inclusivity and a provincial funding model that gives students in urban centres more of an advantage over northern and rural commun it ies. That is why the BEST strategy establishes the Task Force on Poverty and Education, Minister’s Advisory Cou nc i l on I nclusive Education, Curriculum Advisory Panel, and a

Funding Review Team in order to tackle crucial elements that hinder the success of students, the minister said.
