Can collections for canoes

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

The canoe at Rivers Elementary School was adequately filled.

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

and Chimo Beach areas for contributions from the community.

When all was said and done, the scales at Riverdale Harvest noted a total of 434 pounds, “a fabulous amount,” says Heather.

“We are so pleased they decided to help those we serve. A lot of times kids don’t get enough credit but this group of students certainly deserves some praise.

All students stayed behind to help check expiry dates, sort and

put away in the proper place on the shelving units. They were fantastic! We are very, very pleased.”

Elementary school staff member/Harvest volunteer Yvonne Crouch initiated a similar campaign in her school. That threeweek effort simply encouraged students to leave product in the canoe; 87 pounds of food was collected from the younger group on Thursday, March 22.

On Saturday, Feb. 27 at 8:42p.m., Rivers Emergency Services (RDFD, RPS and Rivers EMS) were dispatched to a call at the north end of Lake Wahtopanah (Rivers Lake) for a report of an ice shack on fire.

The s truc ture was fully engulfed upon arrival, and was quickly put out by Rivers F ir e. R i ve r s Po li c e inve s t i g a t e d a n d determined that there were no occupants in the shack at the time of the incident. No other property was damaged.

The Rivers Banner would like to remind Photo by Heather Gray everyone that ice shacks must be off the lake by the end of Mar. 31.

Listening to the information - Vol. two

H

ere is another batch of comments and information that I have received in response to a request I put out two weeks ago for readers to share their experiences with health care and especially with COVID-19 • I agree that the casualty numbers, as presented by the government, are misleading and manipulative. Even more concerning (for me, anyway) is the trend in the reporting of these numbers. First, let me say that I mean no disrespect to those who have lost a loved one during this time– for any reason. My issue is not with the loss, it is with the deceitful reporting of the net cause.

While there appears to be a net 99 additional deaths over last year, we must remember a couple of things: - The annual death rate can vary from year to year for a vast number of reasons.

A nasty winter or a bad flu season can change the numbers. A nasty flu season(s) is really akin to what we have here; - A net difference of 99 deaths above 11,120 is statistically irrelevant (0.8%).

From the beginning, the Doctor and Head Nurse have said that there is no “excess morbidity” in the context of annual deaths;

- Calling these deaths “due to” COVID-19 is a poor misrepresentation of the truth. I corrected them on this and since then they have changed the wording to “deaths of people with” COVID-19. I can’t take credit for it, but at least that was a more positive admission of fact. You’ll notice that there is no distinction in the reporting of deaths in persons with great ages or underlying health issues. Apparently, no one dies of old age anymore and there is no identification of relevant co-morbidities. Not to be insensitive, but we expect a certain number of deaths among young and/or otherwise healthy people– it’s a fact of life. Same goes that we expect a certain number of deaths among the elderly. A death of a man in his 100s is not shocking– and certainly not lockdown-worthy; - There is no clear distinction or accounting for deaths that have occurred due to inadequate care in personal care homes and other places where the residents were unnecessarily put at risk because of poor on-site management and care or government policy lacking in oversight and control and died as a result. Same goes for patients who were exposed to C0VID-19 while already in hospital. Col-

This week, we’re having a look at the Mormons, or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Saints. There are numerous churches, or sects, within The Latter Day Saint, (LDS) Movement, the second largest being The Community of Christ, formerly known as The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints headquartered in Independence, Missouri. The largest, considered by them to be the true and original church, and the one we’re most familiar with, has its headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This is the group we’ll be focusing on. All groups within the LDS movement trace their origins to the founder of Mormonism, Joseph Smith, in New York State in the 1820s and each church considers itself as the one true church on earth.

In 1820, Joseph Smith claims to have been the recipient of a marvelous vision by two personages, God the Father and God the Son, who condemned the Christian church because it had become corrupt. What was needed was a restoration of true Christianity, and Smith would be the leader, prophet and apostle to lead the new and true church. Several years later, in 1823, an angel by the name of Moroni appeared to Joseph informing him of a book written on gold plates. The book was an account of an ancient people who had formerly lived on the American continent, and Joseph’s task was to translate the records with two seer stones to be found with the plates. Moroni appeared to Joseph

• My wife and I separately can visit my mother-in-law, but if we take her out to our place, she would have to self isolate for 14 days. However, if I take her to the dentist in Minnedosa, where she will contact at least two total strangers, she can return to the facility without self isolating. Makes no sense.

• I’m writing in response to the article you wrote. I have a very positive story to share in relation to my parents-in-law’s battle with COVID-19. Dad-in-law, at 80 years old, and mom-in-law, at 83, are

Mormonism - The Latter Day Saints Part One

numerous times following this initial appearance until the plates were unearthed in 1827. The following is a brief description of the historical records written on the plates.

A man by the name of Mormon - circa 311-385 AD - was approached by an ancient record keeper named Ammaron, who handed him gold plates containing the history of a civilization, known as the Nephites, that lived in ancient America. Mormon preserved and updated the plates before giving them over to his son Moroni, who in turn also added information before burying the plates in the location found by Smith centuries later. This is the same Moroni who appeared to Smith as the angelic being.

Following the discovery of the plates in 1827, Smith began translating them into English, telling his scribes what to write. During this time, John the Baptist, and later the Apostles Peter, James and John appeared to Smith and one of his associates, giving them authorization to commence restoring the Chrisitian church. The Book of Mormon was published in 1830, and shortly thereafter the Church of Jesus Christ was formed (the members were nicknamed Mormons.) Joseph Smith became the prophet and apostle of Jesus Christ to the new, true and pure Christian church. In 1838, after receiving a revelation from God, the group changed its name to its current title, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

From their small New York beginning in 1830, the Mormons set up headquarters in Kirtland, Ohio, and from there, ventured off to find a permanent spot to establish their church. The Book of Mormon spoke of

happy survivors! How I wish that my fellow Canadians and others around the world could have the freedom and great privilege to care for their elderly loved ones like we do here in Mexico, where we live. When my in-laws became sick with COVID-19 symptoms, one of my sisters-in-law immediately offered to be their full time nurse. We got oxygen tanks around and administered the medications our doctor prescribed. When dehydration became an issue, the red cross workers came to in-laws’ house to help with IVs for a small fee. Total home care was possible in a loving, relaxing family atmosphere. I believe that the fearless, loving care was a major factor in their rapid recovery. Above all, we praise our heavenly Father who answered ours prayers for healing.

a New Jerusalem (Zion), a city on the American continent for a righteous people who would become a light unto the world. (In the Old Testament of the Bible, the Israelites were God’s chosen people to be a light to all nations. The capital city was Jerusalem, also referred to as Zion).

Smith’s first attempt at establishing Zion was in Jackson County, Missouri, near Independence, followed

by Nauvoo, Illinois, where the practice of polygamy, commanded by God, was instituted. However, as the Mormons grew and prospered, people began to distrust them and an anti-Mormon publication, The Nauvoo Expositor, spoke out against the practice of polygamy.

In order to silence the critics, Smith had the Expositor vandalized which resulted in Joseph and his brother placed in jail awaiting trial, but before the trial could take place, a mob stormed the jail and killed both of them in 1844.

After the murder of Smith, the Mormons chose Brigham Young as their next leader, prophet and apostle, who led them on the long journey from Nauvoo to the valley of the great Salt Lake in 1847, soon to become Salt Lake City, Utah. After the Mormons left Missouri, a remnant stayed behind to establish the Reorganized Church mentioned earlier under the leadership of Joseph Smith’s son.

Home Bodies

By Rita Friesen Need a little laughter...

O

ne of the things that I miss, and there are several things that I miss, is laughter. The kind of laughter that brings tears to ones eyes, an aching side and possibly the loss of other body f luids as well. Those times when memories are shared with riotous laughter, those times when silliness reigns, fueled by giddy companions. It isn’t quite the same to chuckle at a programed program, movies or old show. Though Tim Conway comes really close to making me laugh like that in the seclusion of my office room. (The dentist or the story of the elephants?

Close call on that.)

Rummaging in my memory bank, I rousted several oldies. Years ago, when I was a young-for-me-now f ifty-something, and old-for-the-young-teens-andearly-20s, Carol and I worked at a summer camp. We were kitchen staff, with a greater personal freedom than the campers or the counsellors. One supper, we overheard the young men staff discussing how they would be ordering in a pizza later that night. Well, Carol and I lay in wait, and as the pizza delivery staff was rounding the corner of the bunk house, in the dark, we ambushed him. Taken completely by surprise– mostly because the ambushers were “old” women, he lost his

footing, and the pizza went sailing off into the path ahead of him. It landed upright and intact, no harm, no foul. The new respect that we gained in the eyes of the “kids” was worth the wait in the dark. Much laughter ensued and memories were made.

Another tale that still causes me to chuckle occurred when I was maybe 12 years old. Living in the country, few electronics, we made our own fun. Our closest neighbours had a fairly large family and one of the girls was just about my age. We would walk across the field or down the trail, spend time together, and then walk the other partly home before returning to our home. On this occasion, it was fall, after dark, and there was a field of sunf lowers next to the lane. There, in the dark, we heard rustling in the drying stalks of the sunf lowers. The noise increased in volume and drew ever nearer. Then, bursting into sight, astride the farm horse, was my friend’s older brother, now adding terrifying shrieks to his arrival. His howls now matched by ours! Thanks for the memories, brother Bill!

Playing hide and seek with my first grandchild– he was now about three, very articulate and concise. I had chosen a hiding place that defied his imagination.

Resorting to gently calling his name when he was near, he located me, crouched within the confines of a unit that supported my doll house. With laughter, I exclaimed– I thought I would be here until I was old and grey! Looking at me, the lad replied– Grandma, you are old and grey! Not quite 50 and I was old and grey? Same lad that asked how many years older grandpa was than I. “A few.” “Numbers, grandma.”

“Nineteen.” “Grandma, that’s not a few”’ Look for laughter, it truly is a medicine.

hen I looked out the window this morning, I was in awe about the pureness of the new snow that fell during the night. It also made me feel very thankful for having a nice home to live in and before I finished breakfast, they were already cleaning the driveways and the street.

The chickadees were happy to have their breakfast from the bird feeder. Hard to believe I sat outside only two days ago.

It is March and soon, we will be sitting outside as much as we want and probably go indoors where the air conditioner is keeping us cool. Will we ever be satisfied and content? Paul learned to be content in any and every situation (Philippians 4:12).

We can praise and thank God as David did so many times in the Psalms and Daniel did when God gave him the answer to a mystery in a vision.

The first thing he said in Daniel 2:20: “Praise be to the name of God forever and ever, wisdom and power are His.” Can we thank Him for His power and wisdom this week?

1836 – Samuel Colt patents the first productionmodel revolver, the .34-caliber.

1933 – Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Party receives 43.9% at the Reichstag elections, which allows the Nazis to later pass the Enabling Act and establish a dictatorship.

1953 – Joseph Stalin, the longest serving leader of the Soviet Union, dies at his home in Moscow after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage four days earlier.

Rivers minor baseball ready to go for 2021!

Aaron Tycoles Rivers Baseball Association The 2020 season presented an interesting set of challenges for Baseball in Rivers. But fortunately with it being an outdoor sport we were lucky enough to get a season in despite the late start. We still had 74 players play in 2020. Our 11U team won the Midwest League going undefeated, while our 9U team finished in first place in the North Division of the Oil Dome League. We also joined forces with Minnedosa and Onanole to have a 13U team for the first time in three years in town.

Over our past two years the board has gone down to three people, and we would love to welcome any parents that would like to be a part of the board of directors. We would still love more help, so please let one of us know if you are interested in volunteering.

President- Aaron Tycoles VP baseball- Dana McNish VP softball- open should minor softball start Sec/treasurer- Marci Quane Scheduling- Kenzie McNish Equipment- Amanda Lelond With the growth in numbers, Rivers Minor Baseball and the Rivers Comets formed the Rivers Baseball Association in 2017, with the purpose of developing a long-term plan to build facilities and grow the game within the community. Through the efforts of the association Rivers Minor Baseball was able to secure funding to start construction on a new multiuse diamond that could be used for ages 11U all the way to Senior men. In the spring of 2018 members of a local adult softball team joined the efforts, and we have put an executive of six individuals who were involved in all of these organizations, working towards this long-term plan.

Our mission is to build quality facilities for kids and adults of all ages to enjoy the game, and to develop a model of funding these facilities through the user groups who use the facility, and to fundraise together to continue to improve the diamonds for all users.

We were also extremely fortunate in 2019 to be given a donation of 70 acres of land from local farmer Glenn McLaughlin that we could plant a crop on for one year. Through the gracious donations of inputs from Nutrien Ag Solutions and McFadden Farms of Rivers farming the land, we were able to turn a 100 per cent profit on the land and put all of those funds into the Capital Fund.

We began construction on the last major funding piece of this phase of our capital plan which is the construction of a canteen and washroom structure in between the three diamonds. This structure is a pole shed that will house the canteen, two washrooms and a small maintenance storage shed. We are currently working on Grant Applications, and will have a few upcoming fundraisers this spring and

summer to help finish the inside. Please make sure to follow the Rivers Baseball Association’s Facebook page for updates.

Registration is now open, all registrations for the 2020 season need to be completed online. Online Registration for Baseball is open at http://riversball. rampregistrations.com/ . All registrations need to be completed by March 15th or late fees will apply.

Players are registered in one of the following age groups: Division

There are a number of key pieces that we do need to help grow the game in the community. For parents and non-parents alike, we would love support from the community by volunteering to umpire or coach one of our teams. Rivers Minor Ball covers all the costs associated with certification. Coaches will also receive a custom Rivers Minor Ball hitting jacket and umpires are compensated for each game that they work.

If you are interested in volunteering, or looking for any more information on any happenings with Rivers Minor or the Rivers Baseball Association please check out the Baseball Association’s Facebook Page, or email riversbaseballassociation@gmail.com.

You can also be in contact with one of the executive members. Hope to see you at the ballpark this summer to check out the Comets of the Future.

Pharmacy Awareness Month turning focus to appreciation Recognition to those who can read the chicken scratch on your prescription

Submitted Canadian Pharmacists Association Pharmacy Awareness Month, the annual national campaign that shines a spotlight on all things pharmacy, is moving from ‘awareness’ to ‘appreciation’ this March to better ref lect and celebrate the extraordinary role pharmacists play in health care, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

vices, and give a record number of f lu shots, all the while putting in the necessary procedures to protect their staff and patients,” says Christina Tulk, Chair, Canadian Pharmacists Association.

Tulk, a frontline pharmacist in Corner Brook, NL, has seen firsthand the extraordinary efforts demonstrated by pharmacists over the past year. “The profession has really shown that it is up to the task during this unprecedented time and I could not be prouder to be a pharmacist.

“As key members of health care teams slated to administer the COVID-19 vaccine– the largest public health mobilization of its type in Canadian history– it’s time to celebrate the work of pharmacy professionals for the role they play, day in, day out,” added Tulk.

From renewing prescriptions, delivering vaccinations, providing medication management services and assessing and prescribing for minor ailments and conditions, there are more reasons than ever to celebrate the pharmacy profession, highlight the health care services now offered at the pharmacy and encourage Canadians to thank their pharmacy professional.

This March 2021, let’s celebrate and appreciate the pharmacy professionals who have been there for Canadians throughout the pandemic.

Keep an eye on www.pharmacists.ca/pam for more info and resources about #PAM2021.

About the Canadian Pharmacists Association The Canadian Pharmacists Association (CPhA) is the uniting national voice of pharmacy and the pharmacist profession in Canada.

As pharmacists undertake an enhanced role in the delivery of health care services, CPhA ensures that the profession is recognized as a national leader in health care, inf luencing the policies, programs, budgets and initiatives affecting the profession and the health of Canadians.
