What about the others?

T

his fall, Manitoba Public Insurance launched a new awareness campaign. Called “Save the 100”, the campaign aims to put a face and a story to the approximately 100 Manitobans who die annually as a result of traffic accidents. The initiative is part of the 2017-20 “Road to Zero”, a partnership between MPI and the Province of Manitoba, which aims to make Manitoba’s roads the safest in Canada.

This is set against the backdrop of collision statistics.

According to MPI’s 2017 Traffic Collision Statistics Report, 65 of the 51,844 collisions reported in Manitoba resulted in a fatality and 73 people died as a result of traffic accidents. The five-year trend is seeing a rise in the number of accidents, but a decrease in the number of fatalities. While 86 per cent of accidents that resulted in injury or death occurred in urban areas, rural crashes accounted for a disproportionate number of serious injuries— 69 per cent of people killed and 43 per cent of people seriously injured.

Last year, distracted driving was considered a contributing factor in 40 per cent of accidents that resulted in death or serious injury. This was followed by impaired driving (32 per cent), losing control or driving off the road (close to 19 per cent) and failing to yield right of way (15 per cent).

Distracted driving may have been a factor in almost half of all fatal collisions, but it’s a catch all term, including

E

Kate Jackman-Atkinson both incidents of careless driving and cases where drivers were distracted or inattentive. So while it includes people texting and driving, it also includes drivers doing things that are distracting, but not illegal, like talking to passengers or trying to decipher road signs. Breaking down the accidents where fatalities were recorded, of the 26 attributed to “distracted driving” in 2017, 18 were related to careless driving and nine were related to distracted or inattentive drivers. For comparison’s sake, that same year, 21 fatalities were related to impairment, 12 were attributed to loss of control, 12 were attributed to speeding and 10 were related to a failure to yield right of way.

Traffic fatalities have an unequivocal cost. MPI and the provincial government peg the social cost, which includes loss of life, medical treatment, rehabilitation, lost productivity and property damage, at $6.4 million per fatality.

That’s before the immeasurable impact a loss of life has

on the victim’s family and friends.

With that in mind, I would like to see MPI actually push for other improvements in road safety, beyond just cracking down on people using hand-held electronic devices at stop lights. I don’t see a huge push to cut down on speeding and I certainly don’t see MPI lobbying the provincial government to actually maintain and repair roads, especially in rural areas. I live near a secondary provincial highway and this year, like every year, it will spend the winter covered in ice— it’s never cleared quickly enough after the first snowfall. I don’t see MPI partnering with CAA to push for repairs to the province’s worst roads. I don’t see an abundance of crash barriers and I don’t see initiatives aimed at improving lighting or road markings, since MPI’s statistics show that most accidents happen in the darkest months. I don’t see much being done to address the physical road conditions that are likely to cause drivers to lose control or be uncertain about a right of way, both of which resulted in more fatal accidents than distracted driving.

This isn’t to make light of the tragedy experienced by the family and friends of those lost to distracted driving, but focusing singlehandedly on it does a disservice to all the families who have lost loved ones due to causes that aren’t nearly so fashionable, or profitable, to enforce.

The locally printed word

very week, and sometimes several times a week, we get an email from some company out of New York, Toronto or somewhere else far away, wanting to help us with doing our job at our newspaper.

Typically, they offer written content for our paper. It isn’t free of course, it comes at a price.

Having a cost attached to it isn’t the worst part. The worst part is the assumption that what someone writes 2,000 miles away would be of specific interest to local people. We are a local paper and our success, or at least the key to our survival, is that we provide stories you won’t find anywhere else.

Ok, I know that occasionally, there are stories and news items an individual might not see as high priority, but as much as is physically possible, we gather and write information that is of local interest. If we subscribed to one of dozens of news services and used that source, there would be a lot of items in the paper that have no local interest.

Large newspaper chains that own a bunch of newspapers started on a trend a number of years ago. They cut, and are still cutting staff today. Stories may be written a long way from the source. Page layout is done far away, in a central location. The ads may be built in India or at least in another city. Many papers have simply ceased to exist due to excessive staff cutting.

A newspaper is like a three-legged stool.

It has to have news (by definition), it has to have ads and it has to have opinion columns to generate discussion. Take away any one of those legs and the stool falls over. Anyone who ever sat on a stool to milk a cow knows what happens when the stool falls over. You end up in one of two bad places, either under the cow or in the manure gutter. Neither place is a good prospect for success.

MY PERSPECTIVE

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell There are those who say “print is dead”.

That is utter nonsense. Print will never die.

If it is print on paper, you can read it. If it is print on your computer screen, you can read it. Print is having a comeback versus video and audio. Print will survive and thrive for as long as mankind exists.

What kills off newspapers is greedy companies trying to squeeze out the last penny without investing locally. You can’t reduce the number of people who produce the paper to the point there is no local news and ads.

Large companies think that a local newspaper can carry international, national and provincial stories. They can to some extent, but what they fail to realize is that all those international, national and provincial news stories were on the internet and air waves hours or even days before the paper came out. Local papers are simply behind the curve on that. It’s not our strength. It’s not our mandate either. Just like in real estate, where it is location, location, location, in news, it’s local, local, local. I know there are some smart people guiding the big corporations, but most don’t understand the importance of local.

As I write this column, it is 2 a.m. I couldn’t get back to sleep so I got up to work and write. I am 70 years old, so why do I (and we, my wife and I) do what we do? It is

because we believe in the Rivers area and the Neepawa area. The areas are more than just the named town. The Neepawa Banner & Press distributes 8,000 plus papers to an area population of about 20,000 people. The Rivers Banner distributes 2,000 papers to an area population of about 5,000 people.

We invested (that means borrowed some money) three years ago to buy the Neepawa Press. We got a building, along with 120 years of archives and a small package of business.

We could have just let it die, but we didn’t.

Last year, we invested (that means borrowed some money) to do the first major upgrade on the Rivers Banner building in many years.

We got a better building, we expanded the circulation to Kenton and we got a young man started in the newspaper business; our grandson Micah has taken over the Rivers Banner. He has a fairly nice place to live, he likes Rivers and the people and he’s learning the paper business.

So there you have it folks. The oldest publisher in the province (that would be me) and the youngest publisher in the province (that would be Micah), both working hard to provide local news in a package that is attractive to readers and advertisers. We welcome your readership and your business.

Read local, shop local, advertise local and everyone is a winner.

t isn’t often that there is a piece of friendly mail for me.

Really, very little mail at all; I get most notices electronically. There are those moments though, when tucked in the cubicle is the most welcome ‘parcel’ ticket. Oh, yes! I pretty much guess that the object awaiting me is a book. My forever friend is an avid reader and when she finds a treasure, she shares a copy with me.

To be honest, there is one collection from her that has not yet been read in its entirety. A series of three “Women of Christianity” by Mary T. Malone - The First Thousand Years, From 1,000 to the Reformation, and From the Reformation to the 21st Century. I have read bits and parts but not cover to cover.

Unlike “The Pastrix” by Nadia Bolz Weber, “The Enneagram, A Christian Perspective” by Richard Rohr and Andreas Ebert. Now reading that prepared me for a section covered years later in a university course I took. Made that easier! The most recent books that have arrived are “The Invitation” by Oriah - “A declaration of intent, a map into the longing of the soul, the desire to live passionately, face to face with ourselves and skin to skin with the world around us.” This is the type of book that reading a paragraph or two gives me enough to

Zion Church Open House

think about for several days. I dwelt long on the chapter – The Sorrow. “Every life has pain and sorrow in it. It’s part of being human”. Walking deliberately through her encouragements and instruction, I believe I came out stronger. Again - a prelude in learning before the course I took three years ago on clinical pastoral care where my wise instructors challenged me to look at my deep grief. The book helped, the shared wisdom helped.

A bedside book for all seasons.

The gift this week is a glossy picture and words book. Richard Wagamese’s “Embers, One Ojibway’s Meditations”.

Now, I have always marvelled at the book that arrives. It often deals with an issue that I am learning about, like ‘The Indigo Children”, or preparing me for what I need next. Within the last few months, I resolved to learn more of the Indigenous teachings. A goal to broaden my perspective and prepare me for who knows what! The scenes of nature, glowing embers, soaring eagles, towering trees, are all coupled with teaching and insights. “ Me: Sometimes when things are hardest, it feels like Creator’s not listening. Old Woman: Creator can do whatever Creator chooses. When we are in doubt or confusion or fear, she could send us thunderbolts or lightening or a huge pile of unexpected cash. But most of the time, she sends people. People are the miracles that emerge from the ripped and worn pattern of your life and help you stitch it back together. You learn to see the pattern better then.”

Wisdom, peace, come in many ways. For some it is the wonderful outdoors, for some music, art, dance or words. It matters not how the muse, the Creator, finds us, it only matters that we are found.

Note: Part two of the column written by Beulah (Bea) Toews, featured in Homebodies in the Nov. 16 edition of the Banner, can be found on page 4.

Where am I?

Warren Smallwood Zion CHurch You’re not nosey, just curious. We moved from our long time location across from the high school on November 1. Now we are at the building across from the post office and ready to receive visitors. It is time for an open house.

On Saturday, Dec. 1, from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. we will have the doors open and the coffee on. There may even be cookies. Although the building is still a work in progress and not quite ready to meet the queen, we consider you family so drop in and have a look.

The building started as the Ukrainian Hall. There was a small door on the north-east corner and another emergency door on the west side. Both these are now closed and sealed off. There are now large front doors on the north side and another on the south end. The original building has had two additions on the south.

Later the building was renovated and became Chris’s Cafe and then Shelly Mom’s Kitchen. Now it has been changed again. It is a church on Sundays and a multi-use meeting area during the week. The Riverdale Harvest Food Bank is in the south end of the building and is accessed through the south door. Their sign will be out on the west side when they are open. Other groups are already making arrangements for use of the building.

Drop in on Saturday, Dec. 1 and feel free to give advice about what else should be done. We will graciously receive any and all comments, but will probably quietly ignore them. Let us know if you have read this far.

Oak River Dodgers Ball Field An Oak River team has played at this field, located on land owned by the Oak River Ag. Society, since at least the 1960’s. The Dodgers team was formed in 1983 and played in the Yellowhead League from their rebirth until they entered the Manitoba Senior Baseball League in 2000. They won Yellowhead titles in 1984, 1989 and also in the early 1990s. This current diamond was used with a hard and fast, black-earthen infield until the team made the decision to move up to the bigger leagues. In the fall of 1999 the whole field was resodded, a red clay infield was added and a new perimeter chain-link fence was built. Caretaking and maintenance of the field is done by volunteers from the team and supported by the community association. The team garnered a strong following during their 16 years in the MSBL. In 2015 which was the final year the MSBL played, the Dodgers won t heir f irst crow n.

An evening of memories

PHOTO BY MICAH WADDELL

The Strathclair Theatre Chorus came to Rivers on Sat. Nov. 17, to perform for a sold out show at the Rivers Collegiate, featuring the musical stylings of the 70’s and 80’s.

Lynn Madden President RDHA The Strathclair Theatre Chor us enter ta ined a crowd of 200 plus people at a concert held at Rivers Collegiate on Nov. 17, 2018. The theme of this concert was a Kaleidoscope of Melodies which featured many of the top hits from the 60’s and 70’s. We were taken down

memory lane. Many of us were teenagers or young adults when this music was popular. Remember songs like Love Potion #9, Runaway and Witch Doctor? These, along with 20 other hits made for a very special evening.

This choir is an amazing group of people and musicians made up of volunteers who love to sing and they perform all over

southern Manitoba from November to January.

The Riverdale District Health Auxiliary brought the choral group to Rivers for the third time. It’s a great fundraiser for the auxiliary as music is a big crowd pleaser. They say music is the universal language. The audiences for all three concerts ranged in age from very young to seniors.

At inter mission hot cider, water and dainties were served. The treats were provided by members of the auxiliary and Upper Cup Café from Clear Lake. The auxiliary sincerely hopes that everyone enjoyed the concert. We thank you for your support of Strathclair Theatre Chorus Choir and your support of the Riverdale District Health Auxiliary.

Church Chatter Lorrie Dyer Rivers United Church Rivers United Church was very happy to have Ten Thousand Villages with us on Nov. 18 in support of third world artisans and farmers.

If you were unable to attend, be sure to check out their store on Rosser Avenue in Brandon for unique fair trade gift items.

Nov. 25 will be a busy and exciting Sunday. Dave Falkevitch will be our worship leader. As well, Sunday school will be held along with our annual Advent Decorating Event. A pot-luck lunch will be shared immediately after worship followed by craft and decoration making. The sanctuary will be beautifully transformed for the season of Advent and Christmas. This event is always lots of fun we hope you can join us.

A very important congregational meeting is scheduled for Monday Nov. 26 at 7 p.m. regarding the search committee recommendation. A quorum is needed and all congregational mem-

bers are encouraged to attend.

We look forward to having Debbie Johnston lead us in worship Dec. 2 and Heather Lamb will provide leadership on White Gift Sunday Dec. 9. The Sunday School will be presenting "The Legend of the Talking Animals" which is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Offerings of white gifts including toys, books, mitts, scarves, slippers and non-perishable food items will be sent to the Rivers Christmas Cheer for local distribution.

Rev. Glenna Beauchamp will lead us in worship Dec. 16, Alastair McFadden on Dec. 23 and Dianne Kowalchuk on Christmas Eve. All Rivers congregations are invited to the service of Lessons and Carols at the Roman Catholic Church Dec. 30.

As always, please keep in your prayers, our congregational and community members who are struggling with illness, in hospital, recovering from surgery or grieving the loss of a loved one.

Wives Tales Continued Rivers Fifty Plus Club meeting Beulah (Bea) Toews Submitted Back to sure cures for a moment. For painful joints, apply equal parts of whiskey and vinegar. (internally or externally??) * ArthritisBreak 2 eggs in a jar. Shake up. Then add one cup vinegar and 1 cup turpentine, shake well. Set on kitchen cupboard. Shake bottle every time you pass by- very often for one week. Rub on joints that are aching. * Spring Pick Up- Place three lemons peeled thin and squeezed with 6 eggs- shells and all in a large jar. Mix well and set in a cool area for 3 days, Strain- sweeten to taste. Add 6-8 ounces of good Navy Rum. Refrigerate. Take a small glass each morning as a tonic. (I don’t think so!)

Still under home remedies. Lice- put sheep dip in water and wash head well.

Okay, who all has sheep dip in the cupboards?! For piles – Mix 2 ounces of sulphur with ½ pound of melted lard and stir until cold.

This is the finest ointment

made for piles, itch and skin disease. (Tell it like it is!)

Bad Breath – take a pinch of Boracic acid and stuff it up your nose.

This chapter concluded with pithy wisdom- The mind is like a TV set, when it goes blank, turn off the sound.

The kitchen has never been my favourite place to work. Helpful hints: Don’t throw stale cookies out. Crush them with a rolling pin and use them instead of graham cracker crumbs. (Can cookies last long enough to go stale?

Not in my home!) In one hint a stick of celery will eliminate odors. In another the use of a whole walnut in the cooking cabbage will do the trick. Tell me, did the average home have celery or walnuts back then? before baking potatoes, let them stand in boiling water for 15 minutes. This cuts the baking time in half and makes them beautifully mealy. Okay, this is worth a try. Sprinkle baking soda generously on burned food in a pan for faster, simpler

cleaning. This one I know well- says something for my kitchen skills. Sadly.

Home cleaning: if soot falls upon the carpet, cover it with dry salt and it may be swept up without leaving smears. I know soot, and it should be nowhere near a carpet! * To clean paint.

Put half a peck of bran into a wash boiler and fill with cold water, set over fire, and boil for half an hour, then strain through a sieve a bucket one third full; put as much cold water as you have of the bran-water, and use with a soft scrubbing brush, or if paint is not very much soiled, a soft flannel cloth, but no soap. It will make the paint look like new. Keep the remainder on the stove boiling hot to renew with. What the heck is half a peck?! Closing quote-Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another.

The booklet was written to illustrate the ingenuity of the average homemaker.

And yes, some of these remedies still work. I simply don’t want to use them!

Alphabet book all alliteration A new children’s book is now available for purchase in Rivers, either from Prairie Crocus Regional Library or the author’s grandmother, Doreen Bate. Although Jessie Thiessen has “wanted to make my own children’s book as long as I can remember,” she told Grandma Bate, “This book is just like having a child; it took me nine months to create!”

The hard cover book features two nine by 11-inch pages for each letter of the alphabet. The left page showcases a specific letter while the right is a colourful concoction of appropriate artwork to augment the “adventure” read about on the left page.

For examples, “E is for Elliott

and the elephant who eagerly eat enormous eggs.” “Y is for Yolanda and the yak who yabber through yoga class.”

A is for Alphabet, Tiny Adventures from A to Z was released in October and is the first book Jessie has printed.

Not only did Jessie come up with four to eight alliterative words, she also drew all illustrations, first with pencil and paper, then ink and gouache (a method of painting using pigments ground in water and thickened). These were then digitally composited and coloured for full bleeds on every page (no white margins); the digitization was also used for promotion of the book on her website, smalljane.ca Jessie is graphic designer and illustrator who works with companies of all sizes to create

logos, signs, etc. She lives in Winnipeg with her husband, toddler-aged daughter and dog; she feels her “illustration style connects well with kids.

It’s happy, light and playful.”

She describes herself as one “with her head in the clouds and her feet in the grass, she draws inspiration — literally and figuratively — from the natural beauty of the outdoors.

From the prairies to the mountains, to the garden in her backyard, she is her best self when searching for just a little more adventure.” She does hope to write/illustrate more books 2019, to educate kids on counting and colours.

Obituary WALLER: Annette Theresa Hilda Waller (née de Montigny) passed away on Friday, November 16, 2018 unexpectedly at the age of 67 years. Nan was born on January 19, 1951 in St. Boniface, MB to Henry and Iris de Montigny. Nan was the third child of six. The de Montigny family lived at 555 Cote Street in St. Boniface, MB during Nan’s childhood years and the family moved to St. Anne in 1969. Nan was an extraordinary softball player. Nan’s love for the Waller farm was so great that she chose to move to Lenore, MB. It was there that she lived the majority of her life with her soul mate and best friend Bud Waller. They were married on December 9, 1978. Nan and her dog Gypsy moved to Rivers, MB in 2015 where she made many new friends and connected with old friends through dog walking, fishing, camping and visiting. Over the years, Nan was a selfless caregiver in her home caring for her mother-in-law, husband, father and mother. In addition, Nan cared for countless friends in need. Nan was also an active Lenore community member, she was a longstanding member of the Lenore Cemetery Board and supported charities whenever asked. Nan passionately enjoyed fishing, camping, animals, farming, hunting, photography, woodworking, watching wildlife, baking for others, and feeding birds. Nan was preceded in death by her husband Gregory (Bud) Waller, her parents Iris and Henry de Montigny and siblings Yvonne Knight, Marcel de Montigny and Eugene de Montigny.

Nan is survived by her sister Aline (Brian Johnston) de Montigny, brother Henry (Caitlin) de Montigny; numerous nieces and nephews, her stepchildren Patrick (Beverly) and Janice Waller, six grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. Nan is also survived by numerous cousins and friends she considered family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Central United Church “Christmas Cheer Fund”, 327 8th St., Brandon, MB, R7A 3X5 or the Brandon Humane Society, 2200-17th Street East, Brandon, MB, R7A 7M6.

Christmas Cheer changes Sheila Runions Christmas Cheer

For the past 19 years, Rivers’ Christmas Cheer campaign has been largely supported by Rivers Banner because that is where I worked and I had plenty of space to store donations/assemble hampers. Such is not the case this year so new plans have been made.

Rivers Home Hardware and Rivers Bigway Foods have each agreed to be a collection depot for this campaign, which has been operating in Rivers for 33 years.

These stores will have boxes for you to leave goods in until Wednesday, Dec. 12. That evening, the processing of sorting and counting stock will begin at Zion Church, the location of this year’s hamper assembly. As always, hamper recipients will be contacted a few days before our packing date, to notify them of the time and location for pick-up of their hamper.

As reported last year, Rivers’ Christmas Cheer operates as a branch of Brandon-Westman Christmas Cheer Registry and as such, we must follow their rules regarding hamper contents. For the second consecutive year now, adult presents do not need to be supplied in order to consider the hamper complete. However, teen-

age gifts for both boys and girls are still required, as are a few children’s toys.

In addition to child and teen gifts, hampers also include perishable and non-perishable food. If you wish to donate cereal, canned vegetables/fruit/meat, soup, cranberries, applesauce, brown beans, pudding, cookies or peanut butter, these are items which fill a hamper. If you prefer to support the campaign by leaving a cash donation for perishables (milk, meat, oranges, potatoes and carrots) and shortfalls of “dry” goods, you can mail a cheque to Box 935, Rivers, MB R0K 1X0. Please make cheque or money order payable to Christmas Cheer; do not mail cash.

Christmas Cheer hampers are not a free-for-all; do not show up expecting something. Hampers are only provided upon referral.

To avoid abuse of the system, referrals are accepted by reputable organizations which have personal and intimate knowledge of the need of the applicant; unbiased recognized referral organizations include churches, schools, Child and Family Services, welfare agencies, etc. If the group which works with you does not have a referral form, please ask them to email smr@wcgwave.ca.
