“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-

The pointlessly employed

M

aybe it was because Mike Rowe’s words about the war on work were still fresh in my mind, or maybe it was the title, but I clicked with interest on a story from the Economist. “Bullshit jobs and the yoke of managerial feudalism”— this had to be good.

The piece was a question and answer with David Graeber, an anthropologist at the London School of Economics, who in 2013, wrote a viral essay about “bullshit jobs”. This essay was recently expanded into a book. As we look at the problems facing the developed world, could it be that the type of work we do is playing a role?

According to Graeber, a “bullshit job” is one that even the person doing it secretly believes need not, or should not, exist. If these jobs, or their industry, were to vanish overnight, it would make no difference in people’s lives and in some cases, the world might even be a better place.

The problem isn’t isolated, Graeber points to surveys which have found that 37 to 40 per cent of workers say their jobs make no difference.

In an era where corporate cultures are driven by efficiency and lean operations, how can so many people feel that their jobs are so useless? Graeber explains that the “lean and mean” ideal most frequently only applies to the workers actually making or doing things. In many cases, he says that the same executives who pride themselves

Kate Jackman-Atkinson on downsizing on the shop floor use the money saved, at least in part, to fill their offices with “feudal retinues of basically useless flunkies”.

It’s a problem we see across industries; for most managers, managing more people means more prestige and often, more money. For example, in health and education, Graeber explains, “managers now feel they need to each have their little squadron of assistants, who often have nothing to do, so they end up making up new, exotic forms of paperwork for the teachers, doctors, nurses… who thus have ever less time to actually teach or treat or care for anyone.” Sound familiar?

The interesting thing is how people respond to feeling that their job is pointless. Graeber noted that most don’t relish the fact that they are essentially getting something for nothing. Instead, the pointlessly employed report high rates of depression and anxiety. He noted that these would

“magically disappear the moment they were given what they considered real work”. It’s not so much that people want to work, it’s that they want to feel they are having a positive impact on the world around them.

It’s an interesting truth that Graeber points out, there is an almost perfect inverse relation between how much someone’s work directly benefits others and remuneration.

While I would argue that there are large pockets of rewarding, helpful, well paying jobs, in broad strokes, this holds true. Health care aides are more useful than marketing managers, but I know which title tends to be better paid.

Why don’t we see this as a major social problem, Graeber wonders? I can’t help but agree. If half the workforce is making good money doing jobs that really don’t need doing, imagine the other things they could be doing with their time? In many ways, it’s a different side of the war against work Rowe talks about.

If many of the “bullshit” jobs disappeared, few would notice. Certainly far fewer than would notice if we lost all of the cleaners, auto workers, teachers and nurses.

Yet most people chase a “bullshit” job, why? Because we created an environment in which recognition and prestige are, in most cases, completely unrelated to the job’s necessity in the smooth functioning of our society.

It’s a big problem that’s easier to ignore than solve.

Help is on the way?

T

he federal government has promised us that help is on the way. God spare us!

The federal government is already spending well beyond its current level of income and, as a result, is building up the debt at an alarming rate.

Their next help line is a proposed national Pharmacare program. Surveys are being conducted asking people if they want such a program. Considering that drugs are fairly expensive and that some drugs are very expensive, of course people will want “free” drugs. But free isn’t free. Somebody, somewhere will pay for the drugs and if a national Pharmacare is put in place, it will be the taxpayers who pay for it, When medicare came in in 1938 at a voluntary municipal level in Saskatchewan, I believe it was a first for Canada. It was well over 20 years later before Canada’s much touted father of medicare, Premier Tommy Douglas, brought in medicare in Saskatchewan. A small insurance premium was charged and that was a good thing. In fact, Manitoba charged a small fee until the early 1970s. Cancelling the fee was bad thing.

Medicare should have retained the fees.

It should also have retained the reporting system, whereby medicare services were listed and that list sent to each citizen. Considering those lists were made up in the day of manual records, how much easier would it be to keep track today?

When we go a chiropractor, we pay a partial fee. Why not when we go to a doctor?

It would make sense.

None of us want to go to the U.S. system, where a patient must pay for health premiums or actual costs. The U.S. system provides

MY PERSPECTIVE

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell quick care and it seems it provides good care, but the cost for an uninsured patient can be so costly that low income people sometimes have to decide between buying food or health care. That said, a health care premium and a medical user fee would make sense. And so it would with drugs.

A national Pharmacare program is really scary. Whenever the government gets involved, the costs skyrocket. This whole process is going to need some debate, but I somehow doubt the ability of parties or politicians to get it right.

Let’s look at another example of how screwed up a government-run program can get. We had an example last week. There was serious highway accident. The alarm was sent in and fire, police and ambulance crews were all dispatched. STARS was called and arrived very quickly, but not quite before the patients were on their way to the hospital by ground ambulance. All good so far. STARS is advised to meet the crew at the hospital. Not good. The hospital in question had a temporarily licensed landing pad, but rules have changed and it can’t be used any more. STARS is re-directed to the airport.

Then a third ambulance had to come from somewhere to transport the STARS crew to the hospital and wait for patients.

I am sure that all the rules are well-

intentioned and seem to be necessary, but the point is that when you have several layers of rule makers involved, you get confusion and sometimes worse.

Here’s another airport related rule. When a municipality or partnering municipalities respond to provincial rules that say they “must” build a new garbage dump, they go looking for a site. Transport department rules forbid a dump being within several miles of an airport. The theory is that dumps have seagulls flocking there and the gulls could be a hazard to the airport.

Here’s another example that is really stupid. Sometimes, a person becomes homeless and at the same time, needs social assistance.

Obviously, provincial housing would be an answer. Not so fast. Before they can get housing, they have to get social assistance.

Before they can get social assistance, they have to have housing. Further complicating that, housing and social assistance are in different departments or at least they used to be. Further complicating that, the offices may be in different cities.

When we ask the government to “do it all” for us, we need to be wary of what we ask for. Any time decisions are being made for us by people who have no economic reason to save time, effort or costs, we are likely in trouble.

CJ’s Snack Shack and Mini Golf is located in Rivers Provincial Park and is owned and operated by Lorne and Sue Green.

The business was originally built by the Wolfes sometime in the 80’s, then purchased by Mike and Beth Robleski who ran the business for 13 years.

In 2016 Lorne and Sue Green saw an opportunity to grow the business to better serve the community and surrounding area. 2018 marks the 3rd season of operation for the Greens. Thanks to overwhelming support from far and near, the business has grown dramatically.

Featuring 18 holes, their mini-golf is family friendly and a great way to challenge friends to a healthy competition.

Observation

I

s the “system” letting us down? Yes, I believe our worldly system is letting us down big time. When I look in the Post-Office where the window is plastered with announcements of people, young and old, who passed away, I know that the “system” is failing us. My heart cries out for the young and in the prime of their life. Society has a terrible time keeping up with the problems of this world.

It is with difficulty that I sometimes watch the news on tv and see the corruption that exist all over the world. Their is no peace among mankind.

However let us look at the Heavenly system. It is a perfect system, directed by a loving God, who will guide and direct us and give us peace in circumstances beyond our control.

We can “rejoice in the Lord” (Psalm 104:34). He will give us the strength, peace and joy that the world can not give us. “His love endures forever” (Psalm 118:1).

May the strength of the Lord be ours this week.

Transitioning with the seasons Transitions Micah Waddell

A

s summer gives way to fall and the weather beg ins to cool down, I look forward to the changes it brings. Quads and boats are being winterized and put away to make room for snowmobiles and ice fishing shacks. I really hope my sled will be running by the time the snow hits the ground but I am working with a bit of a relic (1988 Yamaha Enticer 340 longtrack with reverse). Out come the winter boots and parkas. Hunting season began yesterday on Aug. 30, for those of you that find joy in sitting in a tree stand with a bow for hours on end (I do myself ). I welcome the chance to provide for myself and my family the way we would have many years ago. This is my favourite time of

year. Waking up to cool, crisp air in the morning and warm (not hot) afternoons. This is the time of year when I contemplate how my year has gone.

I know that during the big change of careers I underwent this year I have taken some missteps and maybe even backtracked. I would like to say that moving to the Rivers area has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me. The community has been very open to me and I thank you for that. I hope that you will bear with me as I continue to learn the ins and outs of the newspaper industry. I wish to apologize for those who have had any misgivings about the way the paper is operated and I would like to invite any and all suggestions that people in the area have for me. I cannot promise that they will all be implemented but I can promise they will be taken into consideration. This is the first of what will hopefully be many editorial style columns I will be writing to you, though it is not my strong suit.

Things you can’t learn from a book—Tolerance Faithfully Yours Neil Strohschein The “hallowed halls of learning,” also known as public schools, will officially open for business next week. Teachers and students will begin another year of making new friends, forming new relationships and learning new things about life and how to live it.

Over the next ten months, students will acquire a great deal of knowledge. Some will come from books—but increasing amounts of course material are being on-line through articles, fact sheets and videos, many of which can be accessed by a laptop, tablet or smartphone. Computer work stations are as common in today’s classrooms as overhead projectors were in my school days.

But these advances present new challenges to teachers and school administrators. Their biggest challenge is helping students sift through the massive amounts of available data to find material that is factual, truthful and free from bias or prejudice—not an easy task for anyone. But some essential life skills cannot be taught in a classroom or acquired by reading an article or watching a video.

These skills must be developed over time; and the best way to develop them, in my view, is through interacting with other students in the halls and rooms of a public school.

One of these skills is tolerance—learning to accept and accommodate people from many other countries, cultures and religions—people with whose beliefs, habits and lifestyle choices we may not always agree.

As we meet and interact with people from all walks of life, we learn to look past the

Carlton Trail tour planned for Sept. 29 Historic route developed Western Canada

By Micah Waddell Rivers Banner On Saturday, Sept. 29, a tour will be organized and held on the Carlton Trail as it passes its way through Moline, Manitoba. The tour starts at the Moline Cairn.

The Carlton Trail, at one point, was the primary land route between the Red River Colony (now Winnipeg) and Fort Edmonton (now Edmonton, Alberta). The distance covered between Upper Fort Garry (Winnipeg) and Upper Fort des Prairie (Edmonton) was approximately 1,450 km. Many smaller trails branched off from

the main path, such as the Fort a la Corne trail in the Saskatchewan Valley. Different portions of the trail were known by many different names throughout the years, including The Company, the Saskatchewan, and the Winnipeg trail. Connecting western Canada, the trail was of great importance during the 19th Century as a highway for those who lived along it.

If travelling the Carlton Trail by Red River ox cart, it would take about two months. The main mode of transport along the trail was by horse-drawn Red River Cart.

It was an integral route for Métis freighters, and the Hudson's Bay

Company as well as the earliest settlers.

With the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the mid 1880s across the southern Prairies, and the numerous branch lines that followed, such as the Calgary and Edmonton Railway, the trail decreased in importance.

By the early 1900s many portions of its length had been fenced off, although local sections of the trail remain in use to this day. The tour will be done with vehicles of good ground clearance, preferably with 4x4. Anyone seeking more information may call Lorne Radcliffe at 204-566-2329.

things that divide us, see each person as a unique creation of a loving and caring God and allow him or her the freedom to become all that God intended for him or her to be.

Being tolerant doesn’t require us to condone opinions or practices with which we cannot agree. We are free to voice our displeasure with things other people say and do just as they are free to do the same with us. We can agree to disagree on issues of theology, philosophy, politics and lifestyle—we can passionately debate these issues and, if a spirit of tolerance is present in the debate, end the discussion knowing more and understanding it better than we did at the outset.

Being tolerant also means that we choose to avoid meddling in the personal lives of others. We are free to set standards of conduct to which we will adhere and are free to define how much (or how little) contact we will have with those who may not share our views. We choose to respect their right to live as they please and ask that they will show us the same courtesy.

None of us is an island unto ourselves. We do not live in isolation from others. We are part of a community; so we must learn to see the value in others, welcome them into our lives just as they are and work together on projects that will help improve our towns and rural areas..

Merely reading a book on the subject or taking a course won’t make us loving and caring people. Knowing what to do isn’t enough. Tolerant, accepting, loving and caring communities are built by tolerant, accepting, loving and caring people who follow the words of our Lord: “Love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and love your neighbour as yourself.”

The campus of a public school is a good place to begin learning these qualities of character; and I pray that they will be learned well in the coming school year.

me off to Christina Lake, just east of Conklin. A nice day’s drive. Wake ge at 5:50 and CMA be travelling by 6. Perhaps it ent. was the excitement of meeting the Friesen Shaping the Future A CCOUNTING S ERVICE clan for a week, but insomnia haunted the 7893 ed Management Accountants night.Certi Waking instead at 6, I was in the car and down streetAve. by204-764-2544 6:32.

Brandon: 20-18th St., 204-727-5927

home sufficed. First stop. Five miles west of town I checked for my folder with the map and resort details. It was to be on the front seat. Right beside me.

It was not. Then I recalled placing it on the trunk lid as I loaded the vehicle.

Certain it would no longer be there, I stopped anyway. It wasn’t. Second stop.

By the time I got to Yorkton the coffee was tired of travelling in me wanted to be released. I usually stop at the service station at the junction but decided to try the travel information building instead. It was locked. I checked the schedule, open from 9 to 5 Sunday. Checked my watch, 9:05.

Mumbling about the probability of the staff being a student, and it being the morning after Saturday night, I grumbled my way back to the car. Third stop. Turning on the

radio, CBC a great travelling companion, I was chagrined to hear the tail end of the Saskatchewan 8 o’clock news. No worker was late, I was early.

Deciding that I was fine until my next scheduled stop, I headed for Dafoe. I always stop at Dafoe heading up 16. It gives me the certainty of enough fuel to get through Saskatoon, and a bit of a stretch before the convoluted Circle Drive! It was the perfect opportunity to fill and empty. Fourth stop.

The plans had been made to meet my daughter at the Husky stop at the north end of Saskatoon. I had kept her apprised of my progress. Then I missed my turn and ended up at a different truck stop. Utilizing the modern technology I texted her and confessed. She found me in ten minutes and we had a lovely lunch together. Love

and laughter. She directed me to my correct route, double checked that I knew my route numbers even without a map, kissed me farewell, and we turned, me north while she turned south. Stop number five.

I knew that I was leaving 16 at Vermillion so planned to stop, feed, fuel and empty there.

Great plan. Actually went in to eat. Before going further north. That was stop number six. Found my way to Lac La Biche, had a moment of indecision, pulled into a hotel complex, got directions and proceeded. I admit that it was a little later than I wanted to arrive, no fears though. Stop seven.

Meeting the family just after nine, they asked- first and foremost- did you drive straight through? I could answer honestly, no, I stopped seven times before getting here!
