Banner Staff Rivers Banner A controlled burn gone wrong near Rapid City spread to the town Saturday afternoon incurring thousands of dollars of damage. The burn, started by the Rapid City Fire Department earlier in the day, was well under control at the time and appeared to be of little risk to the area and mostly extinguished before noon. A weather shift of increased winds shortly after the noon hour blew embers towards a dried up pond largely populated by bulrushes, the pond and lake in Rapid City being left dry following the dam break last year.

The reeds and bulrushes ignited and and the wind from the north proceeded to spread the fire towards homes south of the pond.

n Monday, several media outlets reported that Florida governor Ron DeSantis suspended remaining local COVID-19 restrictions within his state by executive order. It is part of a series of moves he said were meant to prevent government overreach in response to C-19. On the previous day, Florida reported 3,941 cases and 29 C-19 deaths. The population of Florida was reported as 21.48 million in 2019.

As a matter of contrast, Manitoba reported 250 cases and one death.

Manitoba’s 2019 population was reported as 1.369 million. Florida has about 15.7 times higher population than Manitoba. So Manitoba’s case count on a per capita basis is almost identical to Florida and the death count is half of what Florida’s was on Monday. Florida also has a 70 plus percentage vaccination rate, something that Manitoba hasn’t achieved yet.

Hopefully Manitoba, and all Canada for that matter, will get to where Florida is now by the end of May. Maybe Manitoba can get to 70 per cent vaccination by then. That date is the scheduled time for new health orders in Manitoba and just about everyone is longing for a

return to normal.

The general population in Manitoba is losing faith in governments to lead us out of the C-19 situation. Many are very fearful of C-19. Some openly state they don’t care. Both positions are likely unwise. On the fear side, consider that C-19 has been associated with deaths of around 1,000 people in Manitoba. That is a matter of genuine concern. On the other hand, it can easily be assumed that more than one or two people a day are dying from the side effects of the C-19 lockdown, so there are two sides to this fear question.

It has been privately wondered many times, as well as stated openly, “Why doesn’t the government tell us if there were co-morbidities?” Many C-19 deaths are tied very closely to one or more pre-existing health conditions.

Another piece of missing information is why doesn’t the government say where the cases are? It would be simple enough to stay away from hotspots, so to speak.

In pandemics of the past, households were quarantined and you knew not to go there if you didn’t have to do so.

The biggest problem with government involvement is that we were supposed

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell to have a two week lockdown to “f latten the curve”. That two weeks has now dragged out to be 15 months and counting. Whatever premise or model the government was working on initially was not and is not accurate.

Just a few other observations. It can be assumed that big retailers, such as Walmart and Costco, are still open because they can afford more lawyers than small business owners. It has also been said we are all in the same boat.

That is blatantly untrue. We may be all in the same storm, but many people have bigger boats than others.

The whole vaccine question is evolving every day. Many have been vaccinated.

Many more want that vaccination. Some don’t want to be vaccinated. Whatever vaccines the supply lines pump out and

whatever vaccination decision people make, soon there will be a lot of people vaccinated. The irony of the vaccine is that the best vaccines guarantee around 97 per cent protection. That’s three per cent chance you will get C-19 even if you are vaccinated. That’s interesting, as only three per cent of the population have gotten C-19 in 15 months of pandemic, anyway. Some would say, they will take their chances without the vaccine.

There is a further credibility problem.

Health officials are saying that there have been little or no cases of the “regular” f lu this year. I don’t think anyone believes that statistic.

All in all, we can pray and we can hope that better times are coming by the end of May.

What Is the church part one

This week we’re looking into the foundation and function of the Christian Church. In the New Testament, the Greek word for church is ekklesia, denoting an assembly of people gathered for a specific purpose, in this case Christians gathering for worship. But it’s the Greek word kuriakos, meaning ‘belonging to the Lord’, from which the English church is derived, and here it is in languages that were precursors to English: Germanic - kirika; Old English - circe; Old Norse - kirkja; and in Scotish- kirk.

Church (ekklesia) is used only three times in the Gospels because the church had not officially begun, but we’ll look at the most significant occurrence. To set the stage, we find Jesus and His disciples conversing in the ancient Roman city of Caesarea Philippi.

•Matthew 16:13-19 - “Jesus asked His disciples, ‘Who do people say that I am?’ They replied, ‘Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’ ‘But what about you?’ He asked.

‘Who do you say I am?’ Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God.’ Jesus replied, ‘Blessed are you, Simon Peter for this was revealed to you by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

Jesus gave Simon the Aramaic name ‘Cephas’, which in Greek is Petros (stone or rock) and in English, Peter.

He was given the nickname, not for who he was at the time, but for who he would become. We need to remember how terrified Peter was when he denied knowing Jesus three times upon Christ’s arrest ( John 18:15-27).

But after the resurrection and ascension, Peter begins

to boldly and fearlessly proclaim the Gospel, becoming a steadfast rock and pillar of the faith along with the other Apostles (excluding Judas).

There is disagreement between Protestant and Roman Catholic Churches regarding the passage in Matthew. The Catholic church believes Christ passed the headship and authority of the church to the Apostle Peter who, they say, travelled to Rome and became bishop of the church. Peter is declared to be the very first Pope from whom following Popes inherit the headship of the one true Church; but several questions arise: 1. Was Peter in Rome? - The Bible says the Apostle Paul went to Rome, but doesn’t say Peter went, and there is no historical evidence suggesting he did.

2. Did Jesus, the rock on which the Church is built, decide to build it on Peter and step aside? - No. It was upon his proclamation that Christ is the Messiah, the Son of God, Saviour and Redeemer. The name given Peter (Petros - stone or rock) is different to the rock (petras) Jesus mentioned that refers to a boulder or massive rock foundation on which the Church is built; that being Christ Himself. The Bible frequently uses a play on words, used in this situation signifying that from a stone (Peter) comes a boulder like proclamation.

Protestant churches believe it is this proclamation of faith in Christ upon which the church is built, and to become a member of His Church, everyone must make the same confession, which Paul confirms in Romans 10:9 - “If you declare with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord, you will be saved.”

The Old Testament refers to God as the rock on many occasions. Here are two:

•Psalm 18:31b - “Who is the Rock except our God?” •Isaiah 26:4 - “Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord...

Himself is the Rock eternal.”

Because Jesus Christ is God, He then is the rock the Church is built on: •Jesus said in Matthew 7:24-27 “...Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down...and the winds blew and beat against it; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

•The Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 3:11 - “For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Christ Jesus.”

•Even Peter agrees in Acts 4:11,12 - “Jesus is the stone you builders rejected, which has become the chief cornerstone. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”

Scripture is very clear, Jesus Christ is the foundation and head of the church. He would not place it into the hands of sinful and fallible men.

Colossians - 1:18 - “And He is the head of the... church; He is the beginning...and in everything He... has the supremacy.”

he outdoors is calling. There are projects that need to be completed, and some projects that I want to start. One day, it appears that the weather is warm enough to start with the garden, and then, it’s more than sweater weather again!

Projects have been completed. During the early winter, we designed and crafted barn birdhouses.

One is a single unit and two are duplexes. The single unit is now secured to the top of a fence post in my backyard. Below it, I have placed a birdbath and posted a “vacancy” sign. And so I wait. For years, my front yards have been graced with a sundial mounted on a portion of a veranda post. The post was ancient to start with, and this winter, it signalled its demise.

It has been replaced with a new, four-inch square, eight-foot treated post (my investment portfolio for 2021!) and a birdhouse gifted to me by a dear friend.

Here, too, I placed a water container– the base of an out of date milk separator. Folks my age know what that is, and will have fond memories of cranking the handle to spate the cream from the milk. And another “vacancy” sign is hung. Waiting.

A more massive project was to set up a water retaining tank under the eaves on the garage. A plea

on social media for leads on a poly tank with a metal cage hit pay dirt. Delivered to my back yard! It took a bit of farm ingenuity, creative thinking and hard work, but the system is in place. Do you know how much heavier cinder blocks are than they used to be? Memory allows me to lift and carry one in each hand, and now, one at a time with slow, measured steps… So the tank is in place, also with a “vacancy” sign posted! Waiting.

With the back yard fenced, I embraced new projects. Rather than mow right up to the house and then work on trimming and possibly scarring the siding, it seemed easier to create a garden bed along the back of my home. Last fall got most of the digging done, and the goal was to have an edge of treated wood separating the garden from the lawn, allowing me to run the mower safely on a f lat surface, trimming as I mow. Scrounging and seeking, I found enough treated two by fours to complete this project. As I look at the space, I see f lowers for the butterf lies and bees mingled with the vines of watermelon and cantaloupe growth. And once again– waiting!

The simplest project was to net the raised bed that is home to the caulif lower and broccoli. In the storage was the discarded netting for a gazebo. A little work and there it was, a f ly proof net that is easily f lipped open for planting and weeding and then secured. There it sits, the soil warming, the bed prepared. Waiting.

It seems I am betwixt and between– ready for full blown summer, well, at least a warm spring. Waiting for the birds. Waiting for the rain. Waiting for the right time to get the seeds in the soil. Waiting…

hat kind of memories do you have of Mother’s Day? Maybe, as a child, you remember that you tried to make this day a most special day for your Mom. Or maybe, as a mom, you remember how you were spoiled by your family on Mother’s Day. Once a year, my husband would wear an apron and made the day just shine for me. With a growing family, it was such a blessing to just relax that day and do some reading. When the kids were getting bigger, they would help Dad in the kitchen. This will always be a special memory for me.

This year, with the pandemic going on, it might be difficult to get together, but we can still honour mom by giving her a phone call, send her some f lowers or a pretty card with a special saying.

In Proverbs 31, it tells us to “Honour her for all that her hands have done.” When Jesus was hanging on the cross, he honoured His mother by telling his disciple John to look after her ( John 19:27).

Let’s honour our mothers this weekend by showing love and care.

Happy Mother’s Day!!

Letters

Following the footsteps of former Premier Filmon.

Initially, it was some 24 years ago, that the Filmon Conservative government unfurled the red carpet and opened former Pandora’s box for the hog Industry to come into Manitoba.

Now, since becoming government in 2016 the Pallister regime has taken the cue to further expand the industry by discarding much of the legislation that had been put in place to protect our environment, Lake Winnipeg, and Manitoba water sources. (Red tape reduction Act) Yes, it is very clear that Mr. Pallister has been busy reading the Filmon manual on how to manage the Manitoba government, on the value-added concept of economics.

This hog industry of Maple leaf and foreign owned Hylife Foods is a meat exporting business.

Manitobans consume about 6 percent of their production. The rest is shipped away, leaving Manitobans to deal with all the waste and pollution that is left behind.

Sadly, water, polluted air, health concerns, and the plight of rural residents is not a consideration to this Pallister government.

This political transgression of ruination is upon us and the future of our children.

Yours Truly, John Fefchak, Virden, MB.

best summed up by "Irate Citizen" from Wildwood Park which appeared in the Winnipeg Free Press of October 22nd: No time for Veterans but time for every politician in Manitoba. No time for children unless they happened to have a politician as a parent.

No time for the Princess to visit a flooded home as she wished because 135 politicians and their wives had to be introduced to the Royal couple.

It was said that when the Royal couple learned of the oversight, visits to Veterans' hospitals were added to the itinerary of the remaining cities of Vancouver, Edmonton, and Saskatoon. The question became what to do about Winnipeg?

Saskatoon marked their final stop in the West. After that, they boarded a plane for Fort William, (now Thunder Bay), and from there it was down to the United States.

was the only chance to make a visit happen and organizers chose the Joint Air Training Centre at Rivers, Manitoba as the location.

At 8:30 a.m. on October 28, 1951, three buses filled with Veterans from Deer Lodge and the Veterans' Home left Winnipeg. (There was still some bitterness as men that were too injured to be away from hospital all day could not go.) Upon their arrival at Rivers, the Vets were provided with a full-course meal before being brought to the reception area to wait for the Royals to arrive.

They weren't the only ones to make the journey that day.

A contingent of 24 RCMP officers with the assistance of four military planes attempted to direct the 12,000

cars or 60,000 people that descended on the town to take in the occasion.

The Royal plane landed at 3:03 p.m. and the couple were received by military brass and VIPs that included Lieutenant Governor R. F. McWilliams, Premier Douglas Campbell, and mayor Sinclair of Rivers. (As if expecting to be somewhere less remote, Elizabeth asked the mayor where the actual townsite was located.)

After an inspection of the troops and a 21-gun salute, it was a drive down the runway to the reception area. Over 1,000 servicemen and cadets from Shilo and Brandon acted as a human barrier to hold back the tens of thousands of people who crowded in to get a glimpse.

One Veteran the couple spoke with was 81-year-old Ed Smith. He was a Veteran of South Africa and a one-time member of the Royal household guard who had seen Elizabeth when she was a baby. Another was Sgt. Bill Raithby who was stretcher-bound after recently breaking his back during a parachute training jump.

The stopover was to have lasted an hour, but it was more than two hours later when the couple finally reboarded their plane.

Less than four months later, King George VI died and Elizabeth became Queen.

tornado has occurred or has a high likelihood of being about to occur.

The safest place to be during a tornado is a low spot in an interior room away from windows, such as an inner room in the basement or underneath the stairs to the basement. Rooms that have extra support in the walls such as bathrooms are also ideal as bathroom pipes provide extra support to the walls. Mobile homes and camper trailers are very unsafe places to take shelter as they are not anchored to the ground.

HIP/KNEE Replacement?

BATTERIES FOR EVERYTHING!

McSherry Auctions

Clack Family Heritage Museum Foundation Inc.

50, 000 BATTERIES IN STOCK

Online Timed Auctions @ iCollector.com

The family of Sandra Minnie Garbutt announce her passing on April 13th, 2021.

Sandra was predeceased by her husband Frank, her parents Fred and Grace Stephens, in-laws Addison and Elma Garbutt, and granddaughter Toby.

Sandra was born on August 24th, 1939. She was the only child of Fred and Grace (Mitchell) Stephens and lived her early life in the Moore Park area.

Sandra began her education at Norman School and later attended at Moore Park. She worked in Brandon until she met and married Frank on October 17th, 1959 in Moore Park following a memorable snowstorm. Together they farmed near Rapid City and raised four sons. Sandra spent a great deal of time with the boys’ sports, transporting them along with teammates and equipment to various events, cheering them on, and doing her share at the canteen. She helped out in the community whenever she was called upon.

Once the boys were grown, she had a few part-time jobs and particularly enjoyed demonstrating various products in Brandon grocery stores. Many people will remember Sandra as the friendly face offering them a free sample with a friendly chat. She was a real people person who loved to meet and talk to someone new.

Together with Dad, Mom enjoyed retirement and joined the Rapid City Seniors’ Centre where they enjoyed all the activities, especially playing cards and going bowling with the gang.

They moved to Victoria Landing in Brandon in 2019 with Frank passing on shortly afterwards. She became an active participant in the various activities at Victoria Landing, making new friends while playing cards or bingo.

She was delighted to win a silver medal in the senior Olympics held there.

Her favorite pastime was reading if there wasn’t curling to watch. She was a good listener and always had time to have a chat, share a smile, or even shed sympathetic tears.

Mom was always there for family. She moved from watching her children’s to her grandchildren’s activities.

She was a devoted wife, loving mom, caring mother-in-law, proud grandmother and great-grandmother, and a sincere friend. She will be greatly missed.

She is survived by her 4 sons & families including 14 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren: Son Steve (Joan), Lizann (Steve Grant), and great-grandchild Lara; Robyn (Travis Lund) and great grandchild Cooper; and Trevor; Son Pete (Sharon), Alyssa (Mark Girard) and great grandchildren Brenna, Lilly, and Zoey; Jill; and Wade (Katie), and great grandchild Emslie; Son Barry (Nicole), Noah, Ben, Dylan, and Ryder; Son Gord (Susan Hall), Tyler, Brendan, Kiersten, and Aiden. She also had many cousins on the Stephens and Mitchell side of the family.

A private service was held at Rapid City Cemetery with Barb Jardine officiating. We hope to have a celebration of Mom’s life when we can gather again.

A recording of the service is available for viewing on White’s Funeral Home website: www.whitesfh.ca https:// www.whitesfh.ca/obituary/Sandra-Garbutt
