Serving the Rivers,

Riders make the sport look effortless,

We held weekly Ride Nights from early June till our wind up night on Wednesday Oct. 5. Thanks to Derrick Scott for a generous donation of Smokie’s for our bonfire. And to Dave Creighton for his EMT skills when needed throughout the season, along with others who helped with track maintenance etc. We’ve had a lot of fun!

non-perishables. Although the campaign was fully organized by that class, the original idea came from a suggestion made by harvest volunteer Liliane Dupuis.

The main theme of our program continues to be Safety, and developing individuals to make wise decisions, on and off the track. In Motocross, or any competitive sport, incidents do happen, and the reality of injuries is a possibility you must be prepared for. Proper gear, reliable equipment, physical fitness and men tal focus are four main f actors which can reduce the risk of being injured. If you move into competi

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

She then brought the sug gestion 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 River dale Harvest). Rather, the teens carried bags, boxes and garbage

tive racing, it ratchets up t he importance on all 4 of these points. Our son Andrew was involved in a Motocross incident re cently while racing at Pi lot Mound, and sustained a serious back injury which required surgery in Winnipeg. We are very thankful for the Profes sional care he received r ight after the moment it happened, and for the support, encouragement and prayers from Family and Friends in this area

The canoe at Rivers Elementary School was adequately filled.

Redline MX Academy update for 2022

Gazette-Reporter

Can collections for canoes

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

the canoe. Some students also canvassed Rivers, Oak River

and the MX Commun ity. This strengthens my r esolve to promote riding in a controlled environ ment, and to always ride a t a speed suited to your skill level.

Several local riders have competed on the MB Provincial circuit in 2022, and have stacked up very well in some very competitive classes, both male and female. I will do my best to highlight some of those accomplishments in a separate article.

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

Elementary school staff mem ber/Harvest volunteer Yvonne Crouch initiated a similar cam paign 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.

These riders represented this community very well, on and off the track. Parents, family and friends have every right to be extremely proud of them! It’s also important to note that those riders who choose not to race, or Mama says no way, are no less respected in our group. The same focus is needed each time they get on a bike to ride.

I’ll close by leaving a couple verses from the

Bible which can apply to anything you choose to do in life. Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.” The Lord never promised us an easy life with no trials or chal lenges. He does promise t o walk alongside us or lead us through them, if we choose to give Him control.

Book Reports

Leo’s report on the Rivers History Book

Leo Chen Rivers MB

Hi my name is Leo and you may remember me from my last appearance in the newspaper about my favorite food, Cake Rolls, on July 8. I chose to read The Rivers History Book because it looked interest ing and so I took it out of the library.

The book has a whop ping 513 pages and 14 chapters: town, railway, RM of Daly, no. 1 CNS/ CJATC/River’s Base (mil itary stuff), Businesses, Organizations, Schools, Churches, Cairns (a cairn is a man-made stack of stones), Families, Music, Stories, Events, and Pic tures.

I learned that Lee’s Restaurant had at least three families have lived here and owned and oper ated the restaurant. My mom and dad bought the restaurant in 2016 and so my family is not in the

book because it covers the years 1906-2013.

Fun fact: Queen Eliza beth II came to town and watched the soldiers be ing put to the test at the airbase in 1952.

A business I wish we still had was the bookstore be cause I want to buy books in town instead of going to Brandon to and I don’t like to buy books online because I must wait for the books to ship to me. When I looked at the family’s sec tion I instantly recognized Stan and Sheila because they came for food at the restaurant, and I see them walking around town as well. It was pretty cool to see them in the book!

My favorite section in the book was the picture section because I like to recognize the buildings.

I think it is good to know River’s history because it is interesting and you get to talk about what has happened in the past.

Around the Kitchen Table

Jackie Chen Rivers MB

Hello again! It’s Jackie. I’m sure you remember my “Sushi Mushi” recipe from July 8th. I’m now in 6th grade at Rivers Elementary School. Today, I’ll be doing a report on a book called “Around the kitchen table.” The book was sponsored by the Manitoba Farm Women’s Conference.

Around the kitchen table is a com pilation of stories showing different women’s farm life. Each one is unique. Seven different chapters, 70 stories, 34 women. All in one sitting (get it? Because you’re sitting at their kitchen table? I told you I had the best sense of humor!) The majority of the authors are from Portage la Prairie, but we have two lucky women from a town called Alexander. Their names are Prairie Pat (Pat Lynch) and Tammy Jameson.

Prairie Pat grew up on a mixed farm in Gilbert Plains. She farmed with her sister and brother. Her story was called “The Red Hat”. It was about a Christmas concert and how her mom

wore a neat red hat. Tammy Jameson along with her husband Arnold and sons, Bryan and Warren, farmed on a mixed grain and hog operation. Her story was about pigs, an electric fence, and remodeling. They wanted to setup a temporary holding in the pasture for the spring and summer months.

The stories in the book are based between the 1930s-1970s. Some of the stories say when they’re from, some didn’t but gave hints of the time period, such as in the story “The Life of a Farm Woman”, the author mentions pump water (not tap water), or in the story “Wash on Monday, Iron on Tuesday”, the author says “detergent had not been developed yet” and in “Meals to the Fields”: “the men took water to the fields in crockery jugs that we now see as antiques.” Correct me if I’m wrong but antiques and crockery jugs give me ’70s vibes, don’t you think?

Even though all the stories were good, I overall loved the story, “Wash on Monday, Iron on Tuesday.” By Audrey M. Balleger. She wrote the story beautifully, and described how her Mondays went, and like I said,

“Detergent had not been developed yet.” So, if detergent wasn’t developed, neither were washing and drying machines. Her mother hand-washed each piece of clothing! That must have been difficult back in the day, but all the stories were equally lovely.

I didn’t grow up on a farm, but I’ve learned that farm life was hard from reading this book. I learnt a lot about farm life! For example, there’s a lot of benefits of living on a farm: you can grow your own crops, eat freshly laid eggs, and drink milk from your own cow!

You might wonder how all these amazing women got together and made this beautiful book? Well, they get together once a year and hold a meeting that rotates between cities in Manitoba: Winnipeg, Brandon, Newdale, etc.

They already made book 2! I can’t wait to check it out as soon as I can! I really hope one out of the 34 women read this, so they know how their stories impacted me! Well thank you for reading this, I’ll talk later.

Hockey Canada went way offside

Bad governance is simply the application of wrong informa tion to decision making and d ecision implementation. No better recent example of bad governance has been displayed than by Hockey Canada. The news has been filled for months with how HC paid out millions in damages to an alleged sexual assualt victim, a young woman. I say alleged, not because I don’t believe the woman, but because charges were never laid by police, as far as I know and therefore not proven in court. All that said, I am fairly certain the alleged assault took place.

Where the bad governance came in goes way back into the history of Hockey Canada. HC has an inflated view of its own importanc,e as so clearly summarized by the now former chair of the HC board. She suggested if HC dissolved, the lights might not stay on in rinks across Canada. That’s a silly thing to say as it’s not HC that keeps the lights on in the rinks across Can ada. It’s the parents, the local business s ponsors, the staff and thousands of volunteers who keep the lights on so people of all ages can play rink sports across Canada. The chair’s comments were an insult to every volunteer and hockey raffle ticket seller in the coun try. They forget miltary lesson number o ne, it’s the soldiers who do the work, not the generals.

And speaking of generals and other admin type staff, HC reportedly has over 400 employees, a mind boggling bureaucracy to run a relatively simple business model. It’s not rocket science to run hockey teams, figure skating clubs and arenas. It’s hard work but not a complicated science.

HC has a huge budget, with millions of dollars coming from the federal and provicial governments, player fees and business partnerships at all levels from local to national.

Hockey Canada’s first mistake was not paying out money to cover the sins of errant hockey players, it was to get itself into such a high level of self importance.

The other problem is why would Hockey Canada pay damages when they didn’t do the deed? I suspect it was because they didn’t want their star players’ misdeeds (or crimes) to stain the HC image. Fair enough I guess, but would it not have been much better to have the players take resposibility for their individual actions?

When an assault takes place, the level of lust, intoxication, desire, fame or opportunity is not a defense. Ac countabilty has to be the foundation.

H ockey Canada got caught up in its own sense of self-imporatnce, its own sense of self preservation, and a misguided and misplaced responsib lity. Enforced player discipline and

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell

reparations should have been the path, not deceipt and cover up.

On the HC website it clearly states that the Hockey Canada Board of Directors are “custodians of the game”. That phrase was pointed out to me by my eldest son who said he first learned the value and role of the custodian at the Arden School. The custodians kept the school in good shape from clean ing to heating to yard maintenance. W hen a repair task exceeded their scope, they called in tradesman to fix it. If something went wrong, it wasn’t covered up. I am sure over the years, many an errant student was reported to the principal by the custodian. Hockey Canada would have done well to be a “custodian of the game” by following the definition.

Ignoring repairs, damage or mis deeds was not part of the school cus todians methods. It should not have b een part of Hockey Canada’s meth ods either. But it has been and it has

b ackfired on them big time. Hockey Canada needs to weed out every staff or board member who has been part of the sexual abuse cover-up. Every board member should resign and if they feel they can in all clean conscience serve, they could let their name stand for re-election.

They should also spend a lot less money on extravagent perks and a lot more time on running hockey and no time whatsoever on papering over il legal activities

T he survival of Hockey Canada re mains to be seen. Trust me, Canadian h ockey will survive with or without Hockey Canada. If it is without Hockey Canada, so be it.

Editor’s note: As of Tuesday morning the Hockey Canada Board all resigned.

Twelve MVLs, part seven

Some of life’s most profound lessons have to be learned by personal experience. They are not taught in public school. The concepts won’t even be mentioned in the business management courses taught in college or university. But learning these lessons early will help us navigate our way through some of the rough spots we will face in life.

Of these lessons, the most important, in my view, is the seventh Most Valuable Lesson I learned during my years in public school. It is called “The Law of the Jerk;” and it goes something like this: “At least once each day, someone with whom you live or work will act like a total ‘jerk,’” Twenty per cent of the time it will be a teacher, school staff member, manager or boss at your after school job. Thirty per cent of the time it will be a fellow student or friend; and the rest of the time, it will be you.

Now-let’s not be too hard on those (including ourselves) who can at times, be hard to work or live with. There’s a lot about people (even those closest to us) that we don’t know. We don’t know what chal lenges they face each day. We don’t know if they have a t ouch of the flu, a bad headache or some other persistent medical condition. Or maybe during that day, they received a text message telling them they were being “dumped” by a boyfriend or girlfriend

(it happens-a lot).

All we know is this-at any time during a day, the pressures of life can crowd in upon us to such an extent that we snap. We say things we shouldn’t say. We do things we shouldn’t do. Seconds later, we regret what we’ve done, but by then it’s too late. We can’t take back the words we said. We can’t undo the things we’ve done. The best we can hope for is that those we hurt by our actions will understand, accept our apologies and believe us when we tell them we will try not to react in the same way again.

We cannot control the lives and experiences of others. Nor can we control what they say or do in any given setting. The only person you can control is you. The only person I can control is me. And that, for each of us, can require a great deal of self-discipline.

Fortunately, this is a battle we do not have to fight alone. Two thousand years ago, a man named Jesus walked the dusty roads of this planet. Few people have suffered as much terror, torment and emo tional abuse as he did. He felt the sting and pain of t he things he had to endure. At times he expressed frustration and anger in no uncertain terms. But he never once engaged in any form of slander or character assassination.

He welcomed people into his life just as they were.

FAITHFULLY YOURS

NEIl STRoHSCHEIN

HEalING duRING a CRISIS

But he loved them too much to leave them that way. So when he had to be blunt or confrontational with people, he didn’t act like a “jerk.” He didn’t slander them like they had slandered him. He identified the words and actions that offended them; and assured them that if they would repent, they would be for given and receive the power they needed to change t heir ways.

His spirit lives within all those who put their faith in him; and will help us love, accept and forgive others as he has loved, accepted and forgiven us.

t is now over thirty years that Chris and Ken have allowed me to share my views and opinions with any and all of you that choose to read my ramblings. That means I was not forty five when I began this journey of self expression. You have followed me through the empty nest adjustments, menopause crisis, re-filling our home, retirement and then another one or two retire ments as well as several trips – two to Great Britain, t wo to France (one included Iceland), Holland, Iona and Poland, Maylasia and Thailand, Russia, Australia, some with family some with a friend. I have shared the depth of loss of a life partner, the joys of grandchildren and great grandchildren, the willingness to continue to learn and grow- completing a courses on becoming a Licenced Lay Leader in the United Church of Canada, Clinical Pastoral Care and another on supervising a student minister. For many of these shared memories you have been willing and kind enough to share your reactions to my musings. I appreciate that. And no, this is not a farewell column, simply a reflection of my growth and development.

I have shared that my childhood was not always easy. The support of understanding teachers and neighbours allowed me to thrive and be willing to take risks. (Not all

I admit there are weeks when the blank screen is daunting. What can I say that will be uplifting, en couraging, amusing. Always holding before me Paul’s admonition to the people of Philippi –“Finally, brothers and sister, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthythink about such things.” And do I achieve that goal? Not always and not consistently . I have a bit if a twisted sense of humour, and it is challenging not to take an individuals actions or words and dramatize and embellish them! Too be fair, I mock and ridicule my own foibiles- I don’t forget to laugh at myself as well. And when I suc cumb to fault reviews of others, I quickly grab the mirror.

One comfort in looking back is that I can see that I have grown as a person, in my faith, and in my views. Thirty years ago issues like gender, MAID, settlers and first nations, and environmental change were not the main topics of conversation. Thirty years ago I was busy wifeing and mothering, keeping my head above the lap ping waters. I have grown with the losses in my life, and grown with the additions in my life. Through courses and vacations, through preparing for countless memorial services and Sunday worship services. No regrets, well, maybe a few!, Willing to embrace more growth!

These

very special four pages are a tribute, not only to the Kinsmen Kourts II board, but to the community of Neepawa and especially to the contractors and trades peolple who converted the dream into reality.

Our featured picture shows the ribbon cutting that took place for the offical opening on Aug. 2, 2022. On that day, Banner reporter Casper Wehrhahn wrote, “The Kinsmen Kourts II (KK2) was bustling with activity in the afternoon of Aug. 6. After a long stretch of planning and construction, the assisted living facility was christened with its official ribbon cutting that Saturday. Town officials, residents and visitors alike gathered at the location to converse, enjoy the ceremony, take tours and enjoy the food prepared by KK2’s kitchen staff.

“This has been a dream of a few years,” said Grant Lukin, Kinsmen president. “I really can’t thank every one enough for their feedback and support.”

Kinsmen Kourts II has indeed been a long time coming. The assisted living centre got its start through a needs survey back in 2017 to evaluate how much demand there was for an additional building. Then, in June of 2020 the ground was broken and construction began, continuing into 2021.

By early November, some residents were able to be welcomed into their brand new home.

The Banner thanks the advertisers on these pages for showcasing their efforts in helping the community grow.

Vacancies in the living complex are steadily filling, with application forms available on the Kinsmen Kou rts website. Inquiries can also be made by contacting Dana Menzies at 431-351-0611 or danamenzies@ neepawakinsmenkourts.com.

dream to reality

Congratulations from Neepawa’s Mayor and Council on the completion of Kinsmen Kourts 2.

Many new housing projects have been completed in the past few years to fill the huge housing demand in Neepawa. Every addition to the housing stock is appreciated. There have been many houses, duplexes and apartment blocks built. As the Town continues to grow, the need for more housing is still on the rise. Projects such as the KK2 assisted living facility meets the need for many of our seniors. It also allows our seniors to put their homes on the market so more families have a place to call home.

all the people on the committee, the contractors and tradespeople, the Town of Neepawa offers thanks for bringing this long needed facility to reality. KK2 will serve the people of Neepawa for many years to come.

Rivers law of the month: Trespassing

Chief Lon Schwartz Rivers Police Service

It is that time of the year when people are taking drives in the country to see the fall colours. Some are scouting for areas to hunt, and others are out and about for more nefarious reasons. In the fall if 2021 Mani toba put forth The Trespass Act. Under that Act it is stated that a person commits an offence who (a) enters on any of the following lands or premises without the permission of the owner, tenant, or occupier: (i) lands or premises that are wholly enclosed by means of a fence, wall, or natural boundary, (ii) lands or premises that are partially enclosed, or marked with conspicuously placed signage, in a manner that indicates an intention to keep persons off or animals on the lands or premises, (iii) a construction site, (iv) a residential lawn or garden,

(v) a farmyard or storage site for agricultural equip ment,

(vi) lands or premises used for the cultivation of crops, the grazing or feeding of animals, the raising of birds or fish, or beekeeping; or

(b) enters on lands or prem ises other than those referred to in clause (a) after the owner, tenant or occupier has told them not to do so or remains on the lands or premises after the owner, tenant or occupier has asked them to leave.

There are exemptions such as:

(a) a peace officer, first re sponder, emergency services provider, utility meter reader, utility maintenance person, building inspector, gas in spector, electrical inspector or mail carrier, if they are entering or remaining on lands or premises to fulfill their employment duties;

Riverdale Harvest Foodbank

Tammy Dyck Riverdale Harvest Foodbank

Riverdale Harvest Foodbank meets on the first Monday of every month at the Zion Church at 7pm. Effective October 6th we are trying a time change of 11am – 1pm to hopefully better serve our clients. You can find us at the back of the Zion Church every Thursday. We have also started distributing out of the United Church in Rapid City on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of every month from 7 – 7:15pm. Once a month the harm reduction nurse will be attending the foodbank for private consultations and to answer general questions from the public.

She is located in the kitchen area of the church. Feel free to drop in and see her. We are excited that the foodbank will be joining with the high school on Halloween night for the annual food drive, something we couldn’t do for the last couple of years. So make sure you have a can or two ready when they come knocking. A grant has been applied for to replace the step at the foodbank, we hope to have it in place before the snow flies. Want to help but don’t know what to donate? We are always in need of pancake mix and syrup, beans, salmon, tuna, pasta and sauce and soup and crackers. Thank you for your continued generosity and constant support.
