Open eyes, open doors

B

arriers don’t look the same to all Manitobans. For many, a barrier can be as simple as a step or a 12 point font. With the goal of improving accessibility across the province, the government introduced new legislation, which as of Nov. 1, applies to all organizations and levels of government in Manitoba.

The Accessibility Standard for Customer Service, part of the Accessibility for Manitobans Act (AMA), came into effect in three waves. It began with the provincial government in 2016. The following year, the public sector was required to meet the standards and now, it’s law for all private companies, small municipalities and not-for-profits.

The Customer Service Standard doesn’t require organizations to undertake costly renovations or invest in expensive technologies. At its core, the standard sets out to make people within organizations aware of any barriers associated with their operations and develop ways to ensure that they can serve everyone. The standard requires that organizations meet the communication needs of customers, clients or members; allow assistive devices, such as wheelchairs, walkers and oxygen tanks; welcome support people; welcome people with service animals; ensure accessibility is maintained as intended, such as making sure ramps and wide aisles can be used; let customers know when accessible features and services are not available; invite customers to provide feedback

MY PERSPECTIVE

Kate Jackman-Atkinson and train staff on accessible customer service, including reasonable accommodations under The Human Rights Code of Manitoba.

The impact of barriers isn’t trivial. Government figures indicate that almost one in six Manitobans are impacted by some kind of disability that creates challenges in how they live, work and play. The barriers they face also have an impact on their friends and families. Being inclusive isn’t just the right thing to do, it also makes good business sense; why would you want to shut out potential or existing customers?

Most of us are fortunate to not face permanent disabilities, but most of us have temporarily experienced just how hard it can be to do businesses if you have challenges when it comes to mobility, vision or hearing. Like many Manitobans, I have had experience navigating a stroller or wheelchair through too narrow store aisles, using crutches to get around uneven

surfaces and having trouble reading something because I forgot my glasses. A little bit of a different perspective can change your whole outlook on the physical environment.

The legislation has made people step back and truly look at how they interact with the public; that’s not a bad thing. Many buildings in rural Manitoba were built before design features like wide doorways and single levels were the norm, there are a lot of barriers hiding in plain sight and often improving accessibility can be a simple case of increased awareness. The new legislation doesn’t require buildings to be brought up to today’s standard, only that service providers have a plan to work around their limitations and ensure that staff are trained. It can be as simple as ensuring there is no clutter to make access harder, or having a plan to bring service to an individual who can’t get to a public area of a business. Some changes are extremely easy, for example, if customers take a number for service, a service provider should display the number being served, as well as calling it out.

The government has made it easy for organizations to comply and through the Accessibility Manitoba website, provides helpful resources, like a sample policy, training tools, checklists, frequently asked questions and a list of barriers and ways to overcome them. We’ve got nothing to lose by making sure our doors are truly open, and a lot to gain.

Consumer beware: Check history of American vehicles prior to purchase

With recent flooding on the east coast of the United States, in particular the states of Florida and the Carolinas, Manitoba Public Insurance is advising anyone looking to purchase a vehicle from the United States to carefully check the status of the vehicle before they close the deal. Failing to do so could result in financial loss and the vehicle not being allowed into Canada.

“Vehicle branding rules in the U.S. and inspections conducted by the Registrar of Imported Vehicles upon entry to Canada, flood-damaged vehicles may not be allowed to be registered in Manitoba,” said Satvir Jatana, vice-president responsible for communications, Manitoba Public Insurance.

“To avoid a financial loss, consumers should to do their homework prior to making a used vehicle purchase. Due to severe weather fronts, tens of thousands of newer model vehicles were likely flooded or heavily damaged due to 879-3rd Avenue, Rivers hurricanes and f looding.

Many of these vehicles will Sunday school/morning be re-sold to unsuspecting service at 10:30 a.m. consumers.”

Zion Church

Water-damaged vehicles can potentially be dangerous. Water can enter electronic components of vehicles, causing corrosion and malfunctioning of important safety features such as airbags. There may also be health concerns because of mold and other toxins. Consumers can check the history of a vehicle from the U.S. by going to http:// flood.carfax.com.

Not branded “flood” damaged Even if a vehicle is not branded as a flood-damaged vehicle, this doesn’t necessarily mean it did not suffer water damage. In some cases vehicle damages may not have been reported through vehicle insurers with owners repairing the vehicle and then selling it privately.

In such cases a VIN search is only one of the steps a person should take before purchasing a used vehicle.

Here are a few more tips: Have the vehicle inspected by a trusted and certified automotive technician before purchase. Check for damp or musty odours. Check for any signs of rust or mud in the trunk, glove box and beneath the seats. Check under the hood and look for a water line marked by mud or silt.

The continuing work of Rivers WI

Dianne Kowalchuk Rivers WI

Rivers Women’s Institute (WI) held its annual meeting on the afternoon of Nov. 9, 2018. The business meeting did not take long, but the accomplishments of the branch over the years are noteworthy. The members donated books to the Children’s Hospital Book Market, gifts to the Women’s Shelter in Brandon, and food items to Riverdale Harvest.

They also supported WI’s provincial and international organizations. They submitted a resolution to the provincial AGM on the subject of wearing reflectors or reflective clothing when walking at night. They sponsored a 4-H competition at Rivers Fair and gave a book award at the Collegiate Graduation.

They delivered Meals on Wheels in June. The local

continued its membership in Agriculture in the Classroom.

Guest speakers Eight regular meetings were held. Speakers included Bruce Klassen on community policing, Tess Lelonde on mental health, and Jaimee Waldner speaking about organ donation. Members also did some quilting under the instruction of Helen Stewart.

Social events included the annual Christmas Potluck Party in December and a big birthday party in November.

Members of the public are always welcome at the meetings, but the branch made a special effort to include the community in May when it hosted the Brandon Indian Residential School Pictorial Display. The members also very much enjoyed a day trip to the Sotas Garden and Costume Barn at Birtle,

followed by lunch at the Birtle Golf Club. Arenda Vanderdeen returned to the provincial board in April as Director-at-Large. She plays a huge role in the planning of the very successful Manitoba Rural Women’s Day events.

Patricia Dyck joined the provincial board in August as regional representative for Southwest A Region.

The members of Rivers WI were very saddened by the death of long time member Georgina Bollman in June. She joined Moline WI as a young bride in 1949.

When Moline disbanded in 1970, she immediately joined Rivers. She was a dedicated member for 69 years! Surely that says something about the value of this organization.

The branch is already making plans for the coming year. At the November meeting, members suggested

possibilities for programs and tours. A committee was established to plan the next 12 months of activities.

Members will be hosting a pie sale as a fundraiser for young local family. You will hear more about that in 2019.

KAP advisory meeting Snow thrower usage Crop update, support for young farmers

At Keystone Agricultural Producers fall advisory council meeting yesterday, KAP members discussed the “ brutal” harvest conditions that resulted in reduced quality and yields, and left some crops still in the fields. It was noted that an unprecedented amount of potatoes – 5,200 acres – are still in the ground, some soybeans and carrots are still out there, and the onion crop was decimated.

Dur ing t he meet ing deleg ates hea r d f rom Ma n itoba A g r icu lt ure representatives about the amendments to the Crown Lands Act, legislation that allows producers to access the lands for cattle grazing. The changes will see the allocation of Crown lands move from a points system to a public auction system, something

off icials say will create more fairness and transparency.

While delegates were generally supportive of the concept, many stressed it will put young farmers at a disadvantage because more-established farmers can bid higher. Over and over again delegates called for mechanisms to assist young farmers in accessing Crown lands.

“We need more support for our young farmers – in Crown lands distribution and right across the board,” said K A P president Bill Campbell.

“It’s becoming increasingly difficult for young farmers to enter the industry because costs are so high. Who is going to take over our farms when we retire?”

Seven resolutions were passed at the meeting, including three on the crop

input industry’s proposal to the federal government to allow it to implement royalties on farm-saved seed, something that will cost farmers more but would create investment by the industry in new variety research.

A n o t h e r r e s o l ut i o n called for the Manitoba A g r ic u lt u r a l S er v ices Corporation to include strawber r ies under its Wildlife Damage Compensation Program. Currently most other crops are covered. For a complete list of resolutions, contact val.ominski@kap.ca.

During the meeting, C a mpb e l l a n nou nc e d the resignation of KAP general manager James Battershill, who will be pursuing a business interest. He indicated an executive search is now underway for a new general manager.

Questions to help you keep safety in mind The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) encourages home and business owners to ready their snow throwers and other winter equipment before snow flurries and winter storms arrive. Clearing driveways, sidewalks and parking lots is no small job and you rely on your outdoor power equipment to make these big jobs easy, but it’s also important to keep safety in mind when using snow throwers, often referred to as snow blowers.

“Get your snow thrower serviced now, before repair shops are busy. Weather is more unpredictable than ever, so you want to be ready before the first flakes fall,” says OPEI President and CEO Kris Kiser. “Review your owner’s manual now so you can use your equipment safely, and have the right fuel on hand.

Remember, protect your power. Gasoline-powered snow throwers should use E10 or less.”

OPEI offers the following questions to get ready for old man winter: Getting ready Have you read your owner’s manual? Read up for safe handling procedures. (See additional tips below.) If you lost your manual, you can look it up online (and store a copy on your computer so you have the manual available to reference in the future).

Review how to operate the controls. You should be able to shut off your equipment quickly.

Have you checked your equipment since storing it?

Make sure all equipment is completely powered off when checking it over. If you forgot to drain the fuel last winter before storing your snow thrower, drain the gas tank now. Adjust any cables and check the

auger—again when the equipment is powered off.

Did you put your equipment where you can get to it easily? Move your equipment to a convenient and accessible location, so you can get to it easily when you need it.

Have you purchased the right fuel? Due to power outages, gas stations may be closed after a storm so have some on hand. Be sure to use the correct fuel, as recommended by your equipment's manufacturer (for more information on fueling properly see www.

L o ok B e for eYou P u mp. com). Place gasoline in a fuel container and label it with the date purchased and the ethanol content of the fuel. Use fresh fuel in your snow thrower as fuel that is more than 30 days old can phase separate and cause operating problems. Make sure fuel is stored safely and out of the reach of children.

Are you fueling safely?

Before you start the engine fill up the fuel tank on your snow thrower outside while the engine is cold. Never add fuel to a running or hot engine.

Are batteries charged?

If using a battery/electricpowered snow-thrower, make sure batteries are fully charged, in case electricity goes out during a winter storm.

Is the area you intend to clear free of obstructions or hidden obstacles? Snow can hide objects. Doormats, hoses, balls, toys, boards, wires, and other debris should be removed from the areas you intend to clear. When run over by a snow thrower, these objects may harm the machine or people.

Are you dressed properly for winter weather? Locate your safety gear now, and place it in an accessible closet or location in your

home. Plan to wear safety glasses, gloves and footwear that can handle cold and slippery surfaces.

Operating snow throwers safely Questions to Ask Do you have a clean out tool or stick? Never put your hands inside the auger or chute. Use a clean out tool (or stick) to unclog snow or debris from your snow thrower.

Do you turn off your snow thrower if you need to clear a clog? Always turn off your snow thrower and wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop before clearing any clogs or debris.

Do you use your snow thrower in visible conditions? Never operate the snow thrower without good visibility or light.

Can you aim your snow thrower with care? Never throw snow toward people or cars. Do not allow anyone to stand in front of your snow thrower. Keep children or pets away from your snow thrower when it is operating.

Will you use extreme caution on slopes and hills?

Do not attempt to clear steep slopes and use caution when changing directions on slopes or inclines.

Do you know where your cord is? If you have an electric-powered snow thrower, be aware of where the power cord is at all times.

Avoid tripping. Do not run over the power cord.

Will you keep pets and children inside? Kids and pets may love to play in the white stuff, but it’s best to keep them inside your home and under supervision while you are using your snow thrower to clear a path or drive. Do not allow them to play in the snow as it is tossed out of the snow thrower’s chute.

You got the bait?

Mazier wins CPC nomination

By Eoin Devereux Rivers Banner

Dan Mazier has won the Conservative nomination for the Dauphin- Swan River-Neepawa riding and will represent the party in the next federal election campaign. The results were announced on Saturday, Nov. 10 by a Conservative party representative.

Mazer, the former president

of Keystone Agricultural Producers, was facing off against two other candidates; Floyd Martens and Ben Fox. The riding is currently represented by Robert Sopuck, who announced back in May that he will not run in the next federal election.

Thankful for the support Mazier noted that he

was both honoured and humbled to be selected as the candidate for DauphinSwan River-Neepawa in the 2019 election. He was also quick to thank all the individuals who were a part of his team, who helped him reach this point.

“My volunteers did such an amazing job throughout this process. I had friends step forward to help every step of the way. They con-

tributed a lot of time and effort into this and I’m not here at this point, without them. And my campaign manager, Bob Edmundson, my gosh. He had such sound advice and did so much to make this a success,” said Mazier.

Mazier was quick to acknowledge the other candidates involved, noting that he had immense respect for both of them. He added that while the process was competitive, it was always respectful and never negatively adversarial. Mazier said that speaks greatly to the character of all the individuals involved, both in terms of the nominees and their supporters.

that will explain the process of what I have to set up [in preparation for campaigning]. I hope to have a meeting with the [Electoral District Association] sometime in early December, but

we’re just trying to figure that out right now. It’s a bit of a learning curve right now, but everyone is very enthusiastic and getting ready for the new challenge that is ahead of us.”
