Sarah Plosker Rivers Banner Sawyer Harvie is six years old and in grade 1 at Forrest Elementary School. This little man is set to make his performance dreams come true in California in just a few months.

Sawyer has always been a “character”, his mother Michelle describes, “he’s funny, silly, and extremely expressive”. She decided to sign Sawyer up for what she thought was just an acting class: a script for a Tide commercial. Something they could work on together that would also help with his memory, emotional regulation (Sawyer has ADHD), and expressing feelings through words and facial expressions.

He performed it so well that he was signed by Talent Auditions Group Marketing and received a scholarship. With this he was able to take online acting classes with well-known actors from Disney and Nickelodeon and perform in a showcase for managers, directors,

No good choices

2 Rivers Banner November 11, 2022

y the time this column sees the light of day, the United States will have conducted their midterm elections. The U.S. mid-terms serve a couple of purposes. They serve as a sort of referendum on the sitting president’s performance. It’s like a halfway performance review and it’s rare that presidents do all that well. This year, the aging, faltering President Joe Biden is expected to get a poor review.

Of course, he will stay in office as he is not on these mid-term ballots. Most pundits are estimating he will be punished for his economic performance by voters defeating Democratic candidates for Senate and House seats.

How the mid-terms go, that is which party dominates, will be pivotal as to who runs for President. Biden, as noted above, is ailing in a number of ways. He seems frail in body and mind at times and he turns 80 this month. In my humble opinon, he’s not a great option for President. If his Democratic Party candidates get beat up pretty bad, the party and Biden should go shopping for a new presidential candidate.

The alternative is worse on the Republican side in my opinion in the form of Donald Trump. Trump has a four year advantage over Biden at age 76.

But, Trump suffers as many deficits as Biden. He is in many legal battles, like Biden he is often separated from the truth and he is hated by his opponents.

Biden is disdained but Trump is hated.

T

As I have said many times, if Trump and Biden are the two best choices for president they can come up with, the country is in huge trouble.

If the Democrats win, likely Biden will likely run again in 2024 and he will be 82. If the Republicans win, it’s almost certain that Trump will run in 2024 and he will be 78. It’s hard to determine which man is craziest. The U.S electorate is being played for fools but many seem to be willing participants in the foolishness.

nation-wide elections every two years the campaigns run almost constantly, the cash f low to media is continuous and huge.

The voting results are going to pivot on issues that many people have ignored. In spite of the hype, the pivotal issues are not gender or abortion or religion. It goes back to Bill Clinton’s insight from years ago, the economy.

Under current conditions, the percep-

tion is that Republicans and Trump would be better for the economy. The four Trump years appear to have been better than the two Biden years.

When pencil reaches the ballot in the ballot booth, most people will vote for what they see as best for them and their families. Neither Trump nor Biden are very attractive as they both offer a lot of negatives due to age, dumb statements, legal issues and a whole range of negative things. Faced with all the negativity, choices come down to the economy and little else. The other issues may well fade away as voters go the polls.

All that said, the U.S. voters need better choices but I am not sure they deserve better.

he story you are about to read is true. Although names have been changed to avoid identifying its main characters, there is nothing in this story for which anyone need be ashamed. It has a very happy ending and taught me a lesson that I’ve never forgotten.

It began in February of 1969. The teachers’ strike I wrote about in last week’s column was over. We had written (and hopefully passed) our January departmental exams and were settling in to our second semester of classes; one of which was Physics 30. It was my smallest class-less than 10 students (I don’t recall the exact number). Our teacher was familiar with the course material (he knew his stuff ) but, for reasons which I would not discover until five years later, found it very difficult to share what he knew with us.

After one month in this class, Rob (one of my classmates-not his real name) and I paid a visit to the school Principal. We had a simple request. We asked if we could purchase copies of the Physics 30 correspondence course. We would go through the worksheets and do the assignments on our own time to help us master the concepts we learned in class.

The Principal looked at us, smiled approvingly and ordered the material. We each paid for the packets

and in our next study period, we went to work.

What happened next surprised us even more. When we explained what we were doing to our teacher, he made us an offer we couldn’t refuse. If we would allow him to join our little study circle, he would help us work through the difficult parts of the course.

We gladly accepted his offer and we quickly learned that while our teacher might not have excelled as a lecturer, he was an excellent tutor. We learned a lot from him and I think he really enjoyed watching us teach and learn from each other.

One student whose achievement in Physics 30 amazed us all was Jeff (again not his real name).

Jeff was not a “straight A” student. He had to work very hard just to get a passing grade on most of his courses. I don’t recall him ever speaking about his career choice or post-secondary education plans.

What I remember about him is that he loved Physics. So when given the opportunity, he purchased the correspondence course and joined our Physics 30 study circle. The change that came over him shocked us all.

For the rest of that semester, Jeff received one-onone instruction and coaching from every member of our study circle. He quickly mastered the course material and he went into the final exam with more

confidence than we had ever seen in him.

Later that fall, I ran into Rob. “Neil,” he said, “Has anyone told you how Jeff did on his Physics 30 final?” No one had. “He got 65 per cent,” Rob said enthusiastically. But that wasn’t his only piece of news. Every member of our study circle had scored at least 90 per cent on that final; and most of us got better than that. I got 97 ( just reporting facts).

The lesson I learned has remained with me to this day. “When you invest your time, talent and energy in serving others, you help yourself as well.” What you give to others comes back to you with added value. Of all the memories I have of my years in public school, this one is the happiest. Thanks for letting me share it this week.

was deeply moved, strangely moved, as I stood and lifted my voice with the others of my faith family, and led by the choir, we sang the prayer ‘God, keep our land glorious and free’. It was Peace Sunday, the Sunday nearest to November 11; a service in which we pause to remember the effects and results of conf licts, honour all those who have served and are serving, and give thanks for our freedoms.

Perhaps it is my age, perhaps it is the precious family histories that have been shared with me, perhaps it is from the books I’ve read and the history I have studied and perhaps it is from the travel experiences I have gathered, but my definition of freedom is quite different from one that is commonly discussed today.

Having paused in Auschwitz; having drunk deeply at a public meeting in a synagogue in Gronigen where a descendant of the holocaust survivor and a daughter of an SS officer shared their histories and pled for peace and understanding; having been humbled by the monument to the holocaust in the Moscow museum; having toured the home of Ann Frank; I am forever changed. My view of freedom – I am free to attend a place of worship of my choice, I am free to speak to whom I choose, I am free to own my home,

and the list goes on. I am free. ‘God, keep our land glorious and free’. May we daily utter this plea.

Still standing, we were led into another prayer in song, ‘God, save our gracious king’. In my memory I have only asked that for our queen. It was a natural shift, I never f lubbed the words once! Here, too, I was moved. I have always been a royalist. Only after the scrapbooks I created when a youth, filled with royal clippings, became musty and mouldy, did I reluctantly discard them. It is not the wealth, prestige or power of the monarchy that intrigued me. I have given this some thought- it is a person in position of authority, and power, performing their work with dignity, strength and purpose.

The service was only days before Remembrance Day. The service set the tone for me perfectly. The two minutes of silence while the names of those from our community who served scrolled on the overhead, the laying of the wreaths by Legion members, the tribute –‘They shall not grow old as we grow old…..’

My heart has been heavy these past days, for loved ones in our community, for the unrest in this world, the divisions in families and countries, for the unknown. This quiet pausing to remember and give thanks came at the right time.

For me it does come down to this- ‘let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.’ May I, with my words and deeds, provide a safe place for others to grow, to confide, to confess, to find healing.

I cannot, nor do I wish to, control the thoughts and actions of others, robbing them of their freedoms.

One can do a whole lot of thinking in two minutes of silence……

Letter

Trust the Science?

“Trust the science!” The climatologists and others cry out concerning climate change; claiming our atmosphere contains 50 per cent more carbon dioxide (C02) than before the Industrial Revolution - beginning in Great Britain, circa 1760. The boom in mechanization and technology led to the consumption of vast amounts of coal, followed decades later by other fossil fuels, causing an increase in greenhouse gasses. When you include deforestation on a massive scale, we apparently have an estimated increase in the global temperature by approx. 1 degree celsius. The Climate Crisis, as some call it, has prompted many countries to scale back fossil fuel usage and turn to alternative forms of energy in the hope of saving our planet.

“Trust the science!” The medical experts and others cry out concerning Covid - beginning in Wuhan China in December of 2019 - causing an estimated 6.5 million deaths. Severe lock downs were followed by masking, social distancing and vaccines, which are estimated to have saved millions of lives. Many are hesitant to receive the vaccines and/or boosters, claiming their ineffectiveness, but the professionals tell us the science is clear, vaccines save lives.

“Don’t trust the science!” Some medical experts and other so-called professionals want us to believe concerning the current gender issue. Whatever fad, trend or ideology that takes root in the United States seems to eventually work its way north into Canada. The current gender ideology has discarded the science of biology that distinguishes between a male and female - females having two X chromosomes and males having one X and one Y chromosome. Thousands of years of history have clearly distinguished between the two, and this was proven in the early 1900’s when the sex chromosones were discovered; and one is not required to be a biologist to know the difference. But the culture has taken a drastic turn with this unscientific ideology. Dismissing thousands of years of history and biological science, some want us to believe that men can become women and women can become men. What began with a few genders has now exploded into an indeterminable number of genders. Thanks to gender fluidity, you can now identify as whomever or whatever you wish. Not only does this discount and make a mockery of science, it does the same to God who has told us the following in the Bible: So God created man in his own image; in the image of God He created Him; male and female he created them.

Genesis 1:27 This is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. Genesis 2:24 He created them male and female and blessed them…

Genesis 5:2 Followed by the words of Jesus Christ: “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female, and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” Matthew 19:4-6 This anti-christian ideology needs to be exposed and condemned by the church of Jesus Christ, but it is disappointingly quiet on the issue. But the church needs to remember John the Baptist was beheaded after he confronted Herod with adultery (Matthew 14:3-11) and that the majority of Christ’s disciples were martyred declaring truth. And let’s not forget that Jesus was the light that came to expose darkness (John 1:4,5); was hated for testifying that the world’s deeds were evil (John 7:7) and that his people would be hated because he was hated for declaring truth (John 15:18). The church is to carry on the task of exposing darkness with light (Matthew 5:14, John 8:12,12:36) but its light is shining rather dimly, if at all.

Pink flowers brighten the day Oak River Legion Service

Maybe a reader with a green thumb can tell me what kind of plant this is. Whatever it is, this potted plant that’s been in my hallway for almost a year decided that November is the perfect time to bloom. With gorgeous neon pink flowers, I can’t complain!

Under the Dome:

Celebrating the work done under Premier Stefanson It has been one year since we swore in our new Manitoba premier, Heather Stefanson. Our Progressive Conservative team has spent this past year working hard and getting results on behalf of Manitobans.

We have been working to help make life more affordable. Our PC government cut the PST that the NDP raised, we changed the personal tax exemption to reduce income taxes, and we have begun phasing out the unfair education property tax.

This year, we increased the education property tax rebate to 37.5 percent - averaging over $580 per household.

We also announced that child care fees will average $10 per day in Manitoba by the fall of next year.

Our government strengthened the Manitoba Public Insurance corporation, which has been able to provide more than $700 over the past two years in driver’s registration rebates. We implemented a more competitive minimum wage that will reach $15 per hour by next fall, and we provided affordability cheques to those who need it most.

Faced w ith the unprecedented challenge of a global pandemic, our gover nment has been

making strides on our recovery and have been bolstering health care. We promised 400 new nurse training seats to address the worldwide nursing shortage, and we have since delivered on that promise.

We increased surgical and diagnostic capacity by finding new creative partnerships so that Manitobans can stop waiting and start living.

We issued a compliance order to the College of Registered Nurses to allow more internationally educated nurses to enter the system immediately.

We have invested in our rural hospitals, are expanding the operating room at Concordia Hospital, invested $50 million dollars into surgical excellence at HSC, and we are expanding the St. Boniface ER to have triple capacity.

Our government has also been working diligently to make Manitoba more competitive.

We approved the firstever potash mine in Manitoba history, which will create more good jobs.

We got the second phase of the North End Water Treatment centre started, and we fronted the funds for CentrePort to expand as an international trading hub – which will bring

in more trade and more high-paying jobs.

We created the new Arts, Culture and Sport in Communities Fund which will create and expand community spaces for Manitobans to use and enjoy – making our communities more attractive to live in.

This past year, we made progress on our government’s path to Truth and Reconciliation. We stood w ith Uk raine against Putin’s evil war and welcomed Ukrainian refugees with open arms. We took real action to address crime, homelessness and addictions to make our streets safer. And we repaired relationships with different levels of government and communit y groups all around this great province.

Under the leadership of Premier Stefanson, we are getting real results for Manitobans.

Sarah’s Science Corner Sarah Plosker Rivers Banner Cr e at e a mo de l of your hand, with bones, knuckles, ligaments and tendons in this week’s hands-on Let’s Talk Science activity. Children will learn about biology and health sciences in this activity; it’s best suited for grades 1-6 students.

What you need: 1 piece of cardstock 5 pieces of string about 8 inches long each – these are the tendons and ligaments 3 straws Tools: scissors, tape, pencil What to do 1. Trace the outline of your hand on the piece of cardstock. Cut out the hand—parents, be sure to help young children with this step.

2. Cut 14 small pieces of straw and 5 longer pieces.

Again, parents may need to assist with cutting, for safety.

3. Tape 3 small straw pieces on each finger.

4. Tape 2 small straw pieces on the thumb.

5. Tape a longer straw piece in the palm of the hand under each of the fingers.

6. Thread the string through one set of straws from the tip of the finger to the end of the straw on the palm of the hand. Be careful not to pull the string all the way through.

7. Tape the string at the tip of the finger so

Model hand it doesn’t pull through when you tug on it.

8. Do this with the three other fingers and the thumb.

You might have to cut the end of the string a bit if it gets frayed or tape it to the tip of the finger before t h read i ng it through to help make it easier.

9. Try picking something up with your hand.

What can you pick up?

How is your paper hand dif ferent from your real hand?

What’s happening?

Bones are part of your skeletal system. L igaments (the strings between your finger bones and the

finger bones and hand bones), con nect bone to bone. Tendons (the str ings at the bottom of the hand bones that hang out) connect bones to the muscles in your arm. The muscles in your arm move your fingers just like the strings move the f ingers on your paper hand.

Cool fact The human body has 206 bones! The smallest one is the stapes (pronounced “stay-peas”; in your inner ear), and the largest one is the femur (your top leg bone that runs from your hip to your knee).

Law of the Month: Snowplows

As the snow begins to fall in Manitoba, the Rivers Police Service would like to remind drivers of some winter driving tips: •Check the weather forecast prior to travelling.

•Delay or cancel your trip if travel is not advised.

• Completely clear a l l windows and mirrors of snow and ice.

•Carry a winter emergency car kit.

•Advise people of your departure and route you are taking.

In Manitoba there is legislation—The Highway Traffic Act section 109(1)(2)—that regulates that when approaching and passing emergency vehicles with their emergency lights activated, drivers must slow down, be cautious, and pass only when safe to do so. Drivers must move out of the lane that the

emergency vehicle is in.

On multilane highways, you must move into a lane that is not next to the emergency vehicle.

The fines associated with a violation under the act start at $298.

Manitoba Ag Ex Day 3 Sheep Market Lamb arrival and weigh in started Thursday afternoon and continued Friday morning. The large window for arrivals due to the distance people travel and their schedules; the actual weigh in and inspection (veterinary health check, for the health and safety of everyone's animals) only takes a couple of minutes per animal.

The morning also featured market lamb ultrasounds.

There are several different types of ultrasounding done on sheep. This type of ultrasound is to measure muscle and fat to essentially see the size of your lamb chops—to know how the animal will grade when butchered. The rib eye size and the back fat/muscle were measured.

The afternoon saw a Producer Panel Discussion with Martin Caddo from Saskatchewan who runs 6000 ewes, Pam Bartlett, also from SK, who breeds commercial and purebred Canadian Arcotts, and Chris & Russel Eddy from Plumas, MB who have set up an intensive sheep operation, having previously run commercial and intensive ewe operations as well as lamb feedlotting. The overarching idea of the panel was for the speakers to give an overview of their operations and then attendees could as questions to create discussion to hopefully benefit everyone, especially newer producers.

Topics covered included: What approaches have they taken that were novel or unique? Discussion around milk feeding machines, CIDR's and other reproductive technologies, Pregnancy Ultrasounding, feeding systems, and marketing.

The roast lamb banquet was attended by about 70 people.

The Manitoba Sheep Association has always done a supper as part of the AGM; so to have the banquet in the dome building followed by the AGM just made sense. “This was our first in-person AGM since Covid and it was offered hybrid online also; The attendance was hard to compare given the dynamics of last few years.” Simon Atkinson, Vice Chairperson & Western Director, said of the AGM. “Having both Canadian Sheep Breeders Association Chair Keith Todd (also our judge) and Canadian Sheep Federation ED Corlena Patterson in attendance to give updates and information made it a quite informative event.”

Offering the AGM in hybrid format allowed producers from the eastern part of MB to attend virtually.

1st Place Bull Calf Split #2 went to HTA Galaxy 286K (1010 lbs) from HTA Charolais of Rivers.

Manitoba Ag Ex Day 4 Sheep Sat. Oct. 29 was the final day of the Manitoba Ag Ex. The morning featured the fan favourite lamb selection, and a sheep shearing demonstration.

The afternoon schedule included the Canadian Sheep Federation Identification Presentation, followed by the Jackpot Market Lamb Show concluding at 3 p.m.

The fan favourite lamb selection was also a 50/50 draw—$5 to enter and pick your top five lambs, the closest to the Judge's top five lambs won the 50/50. The winner was Joel Lewis for McCauley for $410. Daniel Goodsman from SK had the lamb that won the voting and he generously chose to donate the $1,000 prize to Stars Air Ambulance.

The shearing demonstration was well-attended, the stands were completely full.

Unfortunately the world champion, who happens to be a woman from Manitoba, had to cancel but the Manitoba Sheep Association had always intended the shearing demo to have a women in agriculture focus as she is one of five female sheep shearers in Manitoba.

Bethan Lewis, Stacey Rosvold, Kendra Unrau, and Chloe Bermejo all took part while Russel Eddy, another Manitoba sheep shearer, narrated/MC’d.

The agro ledger ID system and facial recognition presentation unfortunately did not go as well as hoped, not because of any deficiency in the technology, but because the sound system in the barn left something to be desired—it was difficult to hear. The system was demonstrated on the sheep used for the shearing demo pre- and postshearing and it was able to recognize each sheep before and after shearing. Just like facial recognition software for humans, shaving your mustache and beard won’t stop you from being correctly identified!

Simon shared h is thoughts on the technology: The better flow of data both ways from the agro ledger traceability system will meet the government traceability requirements while changing traceability from a necessary expense for producers to a useable one. With access to data on your animal throughout the whole chain, a producer will be able to access carcass data and a feedlot will be able to access relevant data that the producer has input, allowing for the industry to improve the quality of the breeding f lock and animal welfare. The facial recognition technology has many benefits from being non-invasive compared to a tag or chip, it has the potential to almost completely eliminate livestock rustling.

It will also allow assembly sites and auction marts to meet the incoming more in-depth requirements on livestock movement reporting without a huge amount or additional time or resources all of which would ultimately have to be paid for by producers.

The CSF has built this to meet and exceed the government requirements for traceability while offering real benefits to producers and the industry.

The prize money went to John Lewis $5,000 (Grand Aggregate $3000, Champion Ultrasound $1,000, Champion Judge’s Choice), Jo Walker $1,500 (Reserve Aggregate), Daniel Goodsman (Champion Fan’s Choice) $1,000 generously donated to Stars Air Ambulance Services, and Joel Lewis $410 50/50 winner. Bethan Lewis, John Lewis’ daughter, who was also part of the shearing demonstration, is from Alexander. There’s always a local connection!

Cattle Saturday started off with the Junior Showmanship.

The winner received a $2,000 scholarship from Twerdun Wealth Management. Then came the $10,000 raffle prize draw at noon. In the afternoon was the prospect steer/heifer show, with things wrapping up by 4 p.m.
