Better information needed

think we need to realize that the COVID-19 situation is real, but it shouldn’t be as scary as the media and government make it out to be. To listen to the media, one would assume that the world is coming to an end very soon. The world is not coming to an end, at least not due to C-19 or Donald Trump or Justin Trudeau.

Most people realize that COVID-19 is a f lu that can be fatal, but usually only to people who are already sick. People can get it without symptoms and at the other extreme, relatively healthy people have been known to die. C-19 is a serious situation, for sure, but some perspective is needed, perspective more than fear.

Manitoba stats show that there have been eight C-19 deaths since it became apparent in March of this year. Over a 20 year average, around 10,000 people die of all causes per year. It’s actually closer to 11,000 deaths per year in 2019, as the population grows. So even if the C-19 death rate continues, the number of deaths due to COVID-19 is still very, very small in Manitoba.

To the credit of the Manitoba government, Manitoba Health and all Manitobans, C-19 has been handled pretty well.

Manitoba has benefited from being fairly thinly populated, even sparsely populated in many areas. Our care homes are pretty well run and they know how to handle a f lu outbreak. The C-19 events will no doubt sharpen the focus on how to best care for the elderly and vulnerable.

Borders should be kept closed for travel to and from C-19 hotspots for a while longer. That makes sense.

In Manitoba, events should be allowed, with precautions. Schools and universities should be fully opened up. In my opinion, it’s silly to anticipate that students should have to wear masks. Washing hands is good, not being in each other’s face (literally) is also a good thing. Stay home if you are sick and if a parent doesn’t have care available at home for a sick kid, then there needs to be arrangements in the workplace so a parent can stay home if at all possible.

I do wish that the official C-19 reporting was more precise, but let it be first said that no matter how many C-19 cases are reported, it’s the hospitalizations that really matter. The number of cases in Manitoba that have been hospitalized has been minimal. The number of positive tests per 100 tests has been minimal.

What is needed is location. The prov-

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell ince screwed up a bit by not saying where cases were located. That should have been done from the outset. To say that a case happened in Prairie Mountain Health Region is silly. PMH stretches from the US border to Swan River and from Arden to the Saskatchewan border. It would have been much better to announce where cases actually happened. If, for example, a case happened in Reston, there is little need for anyone from Dauphin to be concerned about possible contact.

When a PMH case was announced, everyone was placed into fear mode and that was unnecessary. Some businesses have been named and that may be helpful so that people who might have had contact can be on the alert for symptoms. Instead of naming some businesses and some Hutterite colonies, the province should have named every case location by town.

I have a lot more faith in the so-called herd immunity than I do in a potential vaccine. We know that people do build up immunity to viruses. What should be questioned is how effective are f lu vaccines. Reports on their effectiveness varies greatly. Vaccine development is a game of guesswork at best.

C-19 is by no means the biggest threat to life, not even close. It’s time to do all that is practical, but the current over-reaching is not always helpful. It is actually proving to be harmful in many cases, be it medically or psychologically.

What is truth - Part one

The Apostle Paul tells us in Romans 8:29, that God wants Christians to be conformed into the image of His Son. A high calling indeed, which takes much effort for some of us compared to others. As I read Scripture and become more acquainted with Christ, I realize that not only did He speak the truth, He claimed to be truth ( John 14:6) and light ( John 8:12). Jesus taught the truth of Scripture, confronted false religious teachers, and exposed the darkness of sin in everyone’s heart. Because of sin, everyone of us, including the earth, is broken, which hinders us from functioning as God originally designed. We know this to be true when we witness natural disasters, crime, and see and experience sicknesses of the body and the mind.

We read and hear all the lying, dishonesty and false information being circulated. We have China denying the virus started there, the United States has its hands full with the media and political parties spinning their own narratives, and, here in Canada, we have a government denying a possible third conflict of interest in the latest scandal to plague them. When you add all the opposing views concerning this virus, we’ve concocted a recipe for violent protesting, riots, and much confusion. Do you find yourself asking the question Pilate posed to Jesus Christ at His trial, “What is truth?” ( John 18:38).

Let me ask you several true or false questions: • 2+2=4 • Black is the opposite of white • According to landmass, Canada is the second-largest country in the world • Objectivity is the opposite of subjectivity If you answered true to all the above, congratulations for acing the test! For those of you who are unsure how to

RiveRs BanneR Est. 1908

STAFF

answer the last two questions, let me assure you the third is correct and allow me to define the words in the last question. Objectivity deals with information that is factual and unbiased, regardless of one’s feelings or opinions.

Subjectivity deals with information that is influenced by a person’s emotion or opinion, and, as its name implies, is subject to interpretation, it may or may not be true. That being said, the answers to the questions are factual, and thus objective.

As Christians, we are to love the Lord Jesus Christ, therefore we are also to love truth and expose darkness.

Currently, there is much for Christians, and the Church as a whole, to confront and expose, but there appears to

be an attitude of indifference or possibly fear.

Next week I want to address a certain matter using objectivity, but in the meantime, you needn’t ask the question Pilate did because the truth was standing right in front of him, and Jesus Christ can be found in the pages of Scripture.

As usual, you can contact me with any questions or comments at jgklassen@icloud.com I’d love to hear from you!!

Home Bodies

By Rita Friesen Life after Menopause

G

uest column by my sister, Bea: Three years ago, a friend asked me to write a book about aging. It was to be a reference book for those of us PAST menopause. Yes, Virginia, there is a long and vital life after menopause. Once your memory comes back and the hot flushes go, you have a life that’s as full as your life before, this time, not encumbered by children, but by care for your parents who are aging. But that is another whole story.

You have a life, after menopause, but odd things start to happen to you. For example, your ear lobes start to grow and your nose gets bigger and your feet get wider. At least that happens to many women. What my friend wanted to know was this: Is it normal for your ear lobes to grow? Is it normal for your nose to get bigger? She wanted a reference book listing age related changes, with a comment on the extent to which each change was normal and at what stage the change should be taken to a doctor.

The book was to be a medium size volume, with a page for each item, a personal story by a woman about each change and then a doctor’s comment on the normalcy, or otherwise, of the change. Then there was to be a brief section on what could be done to prevent further change and/or damage.

FAITHFULLY YOURS Neil Strohschein What’s right about Holidays?

I

n my lifetime, my definition of “holidays” has changed significantly.

During my years in public school, my summers were spent working on our family farm. In all those years, I only remember one actual vacation. We took the occasional day off, but our priority was taking care of our land and livestock. That was full-time work for my parents, my brothers and me.

My college summers were spent as a student pastor of a church in Red Deer, Alberta. Once I entered the work force, long weekends and at least two weeks’ vacation became part of each year.

That changed in 2000, when I left full-time church ministry and began my career as a writer and transition minister. Now I divide my time between my home office and my part-time job. Hours in each location vary, depending on the work load. Time off comes whenever my schedule allows for it, which has been quite often since Mar. 15.

This year, thanks to COVID-19, our travelling plans had to be postponed indefinitely. Family gatherings were smaller. Trips to Brandon were less frequent. Gas prices were the lowest they’ve been in years, but we had nowhere to go. We stayed home, we stayed safe and we used the time off to complete needed projects around our house.

This past July 1 was memorable, but for a different reason. Heavy rains and extensive low-land flooding brought out the best Canadian spirit in those who live in Neepawa and the surrounding communities. Those who didn’t have to work on that day rolled up their sleeves and helped fill sandbags. An appeal for trucks to help deliver sandbags brought dozens to the Public Works Shop— more than enough to help protect vulnerable homes.

Canada Day gave residents in our communities the opportunity to come together, work together and help each other help those in need. We celebrated what it means to be Canadians by doing what Canadians do best— giving our time, talent and treasure to ease the

Examples of personal stories would vary. An example would be a woman who noticed that her teeth were slightly protruding, for example. Another woman’s story on how her moustache became more visible as her eyebrows became sparser and eyelashes shorter. Or a woman’s story about how her glasses were a necessary accessory that defined her face rather than just a way of seeing (as she had lasik surgery and didn’t really need glasses).

The doctor was then to comment on the normalcy of the change and suggest when it should be attended to by a doctor. I was not about to rely on Dr. Google for this part of the book.

The last section was to be some way of dealing with the change. Pills and exercise for osteoporosis; hearing aids for loss of hearing; botox for wrinkles; surgery for replacing hips and knees; braces for protruding teeth; a podiatrist for changes in feet and so on. Though it’s clear that gravity always wins and death is inevitable, there are ways of staving off the ravages of time. (Though short of a wig, there is little that can be done about thinning hair). And nothing short of a miracle will shrink earlobes.

I intended to start at the top of the woman and go down to her feet. I also intended to put this on a website so digital literates could access it with no need to buy the book. Don’t you think this would be a marvellous book/website? I do.

But I won’t be writing it. I had listed over 50 different things that could change and I hadn’t done anything about mental changes (loss of friends, libido, freedom of thought, to name three off the top of my head) or all the internal organs that can go wrong with their appropriate symptoms. Much as I would love to write the book, I can’t. It’s too depressing and at my age, one of the last things I need to be is depressed.

Batwing arms and loss of taste buds to go along with the big ear lobes, anyone? suffering or misfortune of a neighbour or friend.

Holidays, however long or short they may be, give us time to focus on things that are more important than work. We can spend time together as families, working on projects at home or taking in an outdoor activity that we enjoy.

Holidays give us time to visit with friends. We can enjoy a back yard barbecue, a picnic in the park or just a walk along those trails that haven’t been damaged by floods. And, if given the opportunity, we can help them complete projects that they cannot complete on their own.

Being a good neighbour and lending a helping hand is always appropriate.

Most of all, holidays give us the opportunity to rest, even if it’s just for a portion of a day. We can get away from the usual daily routine and spend time reading, thinking, praying or just relaxing in a cool spot with a cold drink, watching the world go by. The next day, as we leave for work, we will find our energy renewed and our attitude improved. We will be ready to take on the challenges of the day and the rest of the week. And with our love for God renewed, we will find it much easier to love our neighbours as ourselves.

Holidays are a precious gift from God. Let’s learn to use them wisely so that they can be enjoyed by all, especially by those who have to work so the rest of us can have time off.

Observation

By Addy Oberlin Rivers Banner

T

oday I am wondering what I need to write about. Should it be the weather? It has been beautiful and warm here, even hot. Maybe some of us will complain about too much heat.

What about politics? I like to stay away from that.

So we go to the Covid-19. Do we or do we not wear a mask? I see very few people in my area even bother about wearing them. I have some in my purse and also some antiseptic wipes in case I need them and I still try to limit my shopping and going to the postoffice. Most people try to be careful when they go out and on holidays.

Are we adjusting slowly to a different way of life?

A big concern now is what will be happening in September with the school system?

David says it so beautifully in Psalm 34:4 “I sought the Lord, and He answered me. He delivered me from all my fears.”

We need to be tough and remember that God will bring this to pass and His name will be glorified.

Let us bring all our fears to the Lord this week.

For the past couple of weeks, we have been focused on how to save your own seeds. We have covered some technical points such as basic pollination, flower type and a bit about the genetics behind saving seeds. This week we will focus on specific plant types in the hope of helping you to successfully save your own seeds from some of your favourite plants.

Although it is sometimes very obvious, seeds may need different methodology to harvest including plucking, rubbing, shaking or grabbing. It is also important to ensure that seeds are dry enough to store which means you may need a good drying space for them.

The first group of plants we will focus on is selfpollinating annuals. These are significant crops to save and include plants like beans, grains, tomatoes, peppers and lettuce.

It seems fitting to begin with the amazing tomato as it is without doubt one of the most favourite foods to grow. If you are only saving a few seeds, then the process is extremely easy. When you are enjoying a fully ripe tomato, simply scrape some seeds out of the tomato you wish to grow again next year and let the seeds dry on a plate. Once they are dry they will be light in colour and should be stored in a small container in a cool, dry place. The seeds will maintain their viability for four to five years.

If you have many types of tomatoes to harvest and a few seed types, then there is a more commercial method to harvesting the seeds. Choose some of your best and fully ripened fruit that is free of any signs of disease. Let the tomatoes fully ripen so they are soft and beginning to ferment and squish them into the bottom of a pail or bucket.

Add a bit of water, cover the container and leave it to sit for two to three days ensuring to label the container with the type of tomato inside. When you open the container, the site is not pretty but interestingly enough the seeds that are not still attached to the pulp

fact, half the fun of saving lettuce seeds is the unique fashion each cultivar will exhibit. Each little flower will produce a feathery seed site which is similar to what a dandelion seed will look like. The seeds will ripen over several weeks so if you are looking to collect plenty of seeds, collect them when conditions are dry. The plant tops can easily be shaken into a container or you can gently rub the seed heads between your fingers to release the seed. Dry the seed for an additional day or two in a light and airy spot and the fluffy part will dry down and the seed can be stored in small. Labelled containers. It is viable for four years if stored correctly.

Watch next week for more specifics on saving seeds.

will sink to the bottom of the container. Gently pour out the liquid until you reach the seeds that have settled to the bottom. It may take adding more water and a couple of pours to get to this stage, but once you have done this process, you will quickly develop expert status. Pour the seeds onto a fine mesh screen and lightly spray with a hose to spread them out evenly. The seeds will dry quickly and then can be safely stored within a few hours. Scrape them gently off the screen and gently rub any seeds that have become stuck together.

Lettuce is a unique crop as they grow up rather than down when they are setting seed. The flowering stalk will tower over the plant resembling a candelabra which is quite attractive. In

COVID case linked to Minnedosa business

By Eoin Devereux Rivers Banner

A recent confirmation of a COVID-19 case in the Prair ie Mountain Health region has been linked to a business in Minnedosa. On Thursday, July 30, online chatter began to circulate information regarding a hand written sign posted on the door of Blazers Mini-Mart. The posting simply said “CLOSED. Due to possible exposure to COVID-19.”

That same day, during the Manitoba government’s daily COVID bul-

letin, it was announced t h at t her e wer e t wo new cases in the Prairie Mountain Health (PMH) region, both males in their 30s. Minnedosa is part of Prairie Mountain, though the province does not indicate any specific locations in its normal reporting of cases. The next day, on Friday, July 31, two additional new cases were identified in the Prair ie Mountain Hea lt h reg ion. A s of July 31, there were 43 confirmed cases in the Prairie Mountain Health area.

While there has been

much comment online by individuals on the case within the region, there had been no direct public comment by the business ow ner s or con f i r med employees. On Friday, July 31, however, Public health officials with the province advised that potent ia l exposure to COVID-19 may have occurred from a case identified at Blazers Mini Mart in Minnedosa, on July 25 and from a case identified Thursday at the Asian Spices of Brandon, 437-A 10th St, Brandon, on July 22 and 23.
