Too much of a good thing?

I hold a Commerce degree and during university, we had many chances to interact with those already in the workforce. Whether it was in-class presentations, networking events or hiring fairs, the message was always the same, “School is great, but you’ll learn what you actually need to know once you start working.” I don’t think that Commerce grads are unique in this experience.

For many young Canadians, post secondary education opens their eyes to life and ideas. It can be a transformative experience, but as an educational necessity for a job or career, can you have too much of a good thing? Post secondary degrees no longer guarantee entry to the middle or upper classes and students are being saddled with increasing levels of debt as the cost of education rises.

Today, entry into almost every career, outside the trades, requires some amount of post secondary education, but should they? Maybe the trades have it right; learning on the job and completing complimentary education to obtain higher levels of recognized proficiency. I think that for many jobs, the educational requirements to just open the door are too high, especially considering that in almost every career, the real learning begins once you start working.

On the surface, higher levels of education sound posi-

MY PERSPECTIVE

Kate Jackman-Atkinson tive, but what about the unintended consequences? I’m not advocating throwing completely untrained staff into the workforce to wreak havoc, but is the current method shutting out some ideal candidates, especially in areas where it’s hard to find staff or wages are limited? Have we made the initial bar so high that we as a society are losing out?

Training staff takes time and effort, I know this from experience, and I recognize that in many public and private sectors jobs, already thin staffing levels don’t leave much opportunity for the on-the-job training that used to be so prevalent. But the reality is that education is expensive, both in terms of tuition and lost wages, and by forcing people to make the investment before they even know if they like the field has a real impact as we grapple with staffing shortages.

Someone who is interested in the building trades can

test the waters as a carpenter’s assistant and get a sense of whether they like the work. From there, they can work towards recognized credentials. Not only do they not have to pay, they can make money testing the waters.

I’m sure the experiences of Commerce grads are not all that much different from those in most other professions— what we learn in school bears little resemblance to the work we do once we leave the “perfect world” that exists only in classrooms and text books. For many jobs, we have made post-secondary education the gate keeper, but it that always right? Is that really what we want in every case?

For most professions, a certain amount of education is necessary to ensure that everyone is on the same page with respect to guidelines, best practices and an understanding of what the job entails. Instead of picking hires based on who has completed a certain type of post-secondary education, should we be looking instead at who would be best suited for the job and giving them a pathway to try the job as they gain the experience and education they need to do it effectively?

We end up with people stuck in jobs and careers they don’t like because that’s what they trained for and they carry around the debt they incurred to obtain it. I’m not advocating less education or training, but maybe it’s time to think about when and how it’s delivered.

Recycling may be doomed Only an overhaul can save it

Recycling is a wonderful idea and everyone is in favour of it. For some it is a passion, for some, it is a duty, for some it is a begrudging obligation and for some, it is just a pain. It doesn’t matter how you view recycling It may well be doomed, dead as dodo bird and here’s why. In spite of huge efforts by MMSM and Recycle Everywhere and most towns, cities and municipalities, recycling is not working out very well.

We pretend to recycle glass but, in actual fact, we are storing used glass, not re-using it. Some places it’s ground up and used for fill at the landfill or for roadways or whatever, but it is a very expensive myth that is being propagated.

Just about any place ground glass is used, it would be cheaper to use sand.

Municipalities can buy all the new, shiny recycling wheeled dumper bins and dumpsters they want, but they simply don’t work all that efficiently.

Here’s why. Some people are basically lazy. Open up a wheeled recycling bin or dumpster and look inside. There will almost always be garbage dumped in with the recycling and that means the whole load is contaminated and will be diverted to the landfill.

There have been multi-tonne loads of recyclables go to our local landfill and someone, by mistake or by being lazy, has dumped a jar of pickle juice or other garbage in the blue bin. It will all be crushed up together and the whole five tonnes is ruined. More fill for the landfill.

RiveRs BanneR Est. 1908

STAFF

RIGHT IN THE CENTRE

Ken Waddell The only way recycling will work is if there is a financial incentive (real, not tax dollars) at each stage to get the job done. The municipalities should probably get out of the recycling business.

The marketplace might be able to look after tin, cardboard, old newspapers and magazines, lead and aluminum if the government got out of the way.

The current container levy is a waste of time and money. If the government really wanted to get aluminum cans out of the waste system, the levy would have to be 10 cents like it is for beer. Most other containers have little value, unlike aluminum and tin or steel.

A side story to recycling is the islands of plastic forming in our oceans. Individual people can’t be blamed for ocean garbage. That is the fault of cities who can’t or won’t cope with their mountains of garbage. There have to be huge amounts of garbage being barged out to sea.

That is just plain criminal when some countries can do the clean-burn thing to create heat, to steam, to electrical energy. The little bit of ash by-product can go into roads.

A lot of information is out there about how Sweden has beaten back their garbage problem to the point they are importing garbage. They fuel their generators with trash and send only a very small percentage of the left overs to the landfill. It makes sense and that is the main reason Canada and Manitoba may be so reluctant.

To the great credit of Evergreen Environmental, the facility that serves Minnedosa, Neepawa, Carberry and several RMs, the clean gasification of waste. Hopefully it will be a great success and lead the industry.

Like a lot of processes, recycling and garbage disposal and utilization requires an integrated approach to regulation, financial incentives and education.

Note I put education in the third spot as most people already know what needs to be done. Mostly, the changes needed require financial [support?] and common sense. There is no common sense in polluting our land, air and oceans. A lot has to change or the consequences will be ugly and expensive.

RCI Youth in Philanthropy inaugural year Submitted Rivers Banner T he s c ho ol ye a r i s quickly coming to an end and so with it the RCI Youth in Philanthropy’s inaugural year. We have undergone a huge learning cur ve for what is involved from beginning to end of grant applications to distribution.

This whole Philanthropy thing is hard work and it has given us an even bigger appreciation for all that the Rivers and Area Community Foundation accomplishes in our community.

The YiP Committee this year involved 16 students from grades 7-12, Mr. Klassen, Mrs. Maxwell, as well as some great leadership in Michelle McFadden and Donna Falkevitch from the Rivers and Area Community Foundation (RACF). We would meet during our lunch break to discuss different topics and ideas for getting our name and information out to the com mu n it y or g a n i za tions that we could help.

The students wrote an article for the Banner, produced f lyers around the community, did an interview with Westman Communications in the intermission of one of the RAGE games, discussed the pros and cons for

each application, came to a consensus on grant award winners, and made speeches at the Gala Assembly on June 6th.

The grant recipients for 2017-2018 were: Prairie Crocus Library which has some wonderful collections of books that have been well loved over their lifetime. However, this also leads to damage and we hope that with this grant the damaged or missing books from the Hardy Boys Mysteries and Nancy Drew Mysteries will be able to be found and the series completed.

Police Cadets of Rivers which is a new program that started in January 2018 and runs twice a month during the school year. T he prog ram is open to youths ages 8-15 who learn how to perform drill, inspection and rolecall, as well as working together as a team to accomplish different goals.

The Cadets have instilled a strong sense of community pride in the youth and we hope that this grant will help keep the program going next year.

R iverdale Community Centre currently uses the mic and speaker set from the old rink that has not always functioned as planned. They are looking to install a professional sound system that will be used by the various

groups who use the facility, including our school graduations and the Rivers/Elton RAGE hockey team.

Rivers Wetland Centre of Excellence through the leadership of Mr. Kiazyk and Mr. Klassen has received many awards since it was started. Our students maintain and continue to improve the Wetlands in our community.

Not only do they do water testing, critter counting, and environmental management, they also lead elementary school f ield trips through the wetlands and provide activities for them to complete through t he day t hat promote all the cool things the wetlands provide. They are wanting to complete the f loor in the outdoor classroom, as well as add tables and benches to be used by the students when they are working on site.

RCI Breakfast/Lunch Program is a program that provides students with the nutritional fuel they need to start the day off well and maintain it throughout the day. This program not only provides a nutritional Breakfast/lunch to the students, it also provides snacks throughout the day for those students that need to have a pick me up part way through. We hope this grant will help t he prog ram cont inue

next year.

As you can see we had some tough decisions to make, but the YiP committee did a fantastic job of listening to each other, discussing the benef its of each application, and

coming up with a dollar value to grant the successful recipients.

At our Gala Assembly we were lucky enough to have all the recipients t here to receive t heir grant and we want to

thank them for their time, both in filling out the applications and in coming to our Grant Awarding ceremony.

We wish them all good luck in making their programs a success.
