Lest We Forget

It has been 100 years since the guns went silent on the battlefields of Europe at the end of World War I. Increasingly, it seems we are losing touch with the real reason for the poppy. Please take time this November 11 to remember the sacrifices that so many made for our freedom. See coverage pgs 7-10

After having opened for rock legends such as Blue Oyster Cult,

Nazareth and Harlequin in the past year, as well as mod-ern hard rock heavy hitters such as Buckcherry, Three Days Grace, and most recently Default, local blues rockers Wreckin’ So are coming home to blow the roof off of the Pap-ertown Motor Inn. The Show, which will take place on Sat-urday, November 17th, will feature lead guitarist Ronnie Ladobruk doing double duty as the opening act. With their unique style, self-described as “Rock and Metal meets Blues and Soul”, they are truly a one of a kind, must-see band that is quickly rising in the industry. Stay tuned for a special one on one interview with Brent in our next publication, available Friday November 23rd, 2018.

St. Georges man killed in rollover

Randy McKay (Sobering Funeral Chapel)

On October 30, 2018, at approximately 8:30 am, Lac Du Bonnet

RCMP received a report of a single-vehicle rollover on Provincial Road 307, one ki-lometre north of Highway 44 in the Whiteshell area.

Upon arrival, RCMP found the vehicle off the road and partially submerged in water. The driver and lone occupant, an male from St. Georges, Manitoba, had been ejected and was located a short distance from the ve-hicle. He was pronounced de-ceased on scene.

Manitoba Workplace Safety and Health has been advised as the driver was working at the time of the collision.

The Advocate has learned the name of the man was 18-year-old, Randy McKay.

RCMP say the investiga-tion is continuing.

Our government is moving forward with its Manitoba Climate

and Green Plan, but without a provincial carbon tax. We are also standing up for Manito-bans by opposing the Federal government’s planned esca-lating carbon tax that would damage our province’s econ-omy.

Our made-in-Manitoba plan had initially proposed a flat carbon price of $25 per tonne of greenhouse gas emissions to provide stabil-ity to consumers, business, industry and agriculture, and to support our government’s vision for a prosperous and growing green economy. Our fixed carbon levy would have saved Manitoba families and businesses more than $260 Million over five years, com-pared to the Federal govern-ment’s plan for a higher and rising carbon tax. And all rev-enue collected under our plan would have been returned to Manitoba households in tax

relief while remaining in our province to be used for Mani-toba priorities, stimulating green innovation and creat-ing jobs.

As well, our flat carbon price would have achieved more emissions reductions in Manitoba than the Federal carbon tax of $50 per tonne. However, the Federal gov-ernment has stated it would impose its escalating carbon tax over and above the Mani-toba levy after one year. This would mean twice the tax with poorer results - hurting our ability to attract busi-ness capital to our province, threatening jobs and econom-ic growth and taking money away from Manitoba fami-lies. This is unacceptable.

Our government is no lon-ger proceeding with a Mani-toba carbon tax, and will fight Ottawa on the Federal carbon tax plan that would take mon-ey from Manitobans’ pockets and hurt our economy.

Based on the four pillars

of cleaner water, conserva-tion of natural areas, steps to address climate change and strengthening the economy, our Manitoba Climate and Green Plan will continue to encourage investments in re-newable energy and a reduc-tion in energy consumption. Our plan has been acknowl-edged widely, even by Otta-wa, as the best such strategy in Canada.

We are saying yes to our made-in-Manitoba Climate and Green Plan, which would make a positive and lasting impact on the environment and our economy for gen-erations to come. But we are standing up for the interests of Manitobans and saying no to a carbon tax.

Waynes Worldly View from the LegislatureBy Wayne Ewasko, MLA for Lac du Bonnet – Government Caucus Chairperson

By Don Norman

The Advocate recently received information regarding the payouts

that the Manitoba Govern-ment is making to dozens of different municipalities, First Nations and communi-ties that are on or near the path of the Manitoba Hydro’s Bipole III transmission line. It’s part of Manitoba Hydro’s Community Development Initiative program (CDI). The information isn’t readily available. We had to submit

a Freedom of lnformation and Protection ofPrivacvAct (FIPPA) request.

The payments are made annually and amount to $52.4 million over the next 10 years and the annual disbursements range from $3,000 to $233,000 and are calculated in accor-dance with a set formula that is based upon a community’s population and its proxim-ity to the transmission line. Funds provided under are to be used for community devel-opment projects that benefit

a broad segment of the com-munity and fall into one of the following categories: Promote environmental sustainability; Promote resource rehabilita-tion or development; Promote cultural or social development; Provide training, employment, or economic development in the community; and Develop community infrastructure.

There are a few things that are troublesome with these payments.

Last month, the province cancelled a deal that was to provide the Manitoba Metis Federation $20 million over the next 20 years in exchange for their support for Manitoba Hydro projects, including the Bipole III Transmission line. And you might remember that earlier this year, the province cancelled another deal with the MMF for $67 million that caused the entire Board of Di-rectors of the crown corpora-

tion to resign. From Premier Pallister’s

perspective, the payments amount to paying the federa-tion for not participating in the environmental review process. “The Métis federa-tion and all Métis Manitobans have the right to participate in processes. They fought hard for those rights and we respect that. Enough to make sure we won’t make payments to stop them from exercising those rights, now or in the future,” he said.

Now, spun that way, I don’t necessarily disagree with his logic. Manitobans elected a conservative gov-ernment and it should be of no surprise that they are a little tight with the purse-strings. It’s what we expect of a conservative government. But how does that wash with the table to the left?

The bureaucrat who sup-

plied us with the information was careful to clarify that the payments made under the CDl are not compensa-tory in nature. “The CDl is a non-obligatory initiative es-tablished by Manitoba Hydro to provide benefits to com-munities located near the Bi-pole III transmission line.” Hmm... that doesn’t sound like someone being tight with the purse strings. Why wouldn’t Pallister step in to stop those payments? They aren’t pay-ing for the inconvenience of being close to a transmission line; they aren’t paying for po-tential negative health effects; it’s not even “persuasion mon-ey” as Pallister described the MMF funds.

So are we to believe it is just a voluntary fund that the crown (ie, accountable to tax-payers) corporation is hand-ing out as feel-good measure? It’s a head scratcher, for sure.

Why is Manitoba Hydro being so generous?

This years event had everything from fantastic smelling bath bombs, hand made moccasins, delicious cupcakes and much much

more.There was a silent auc-

tion table with the proceeds going to Edgewater Recre-ation. This year’s craft sale had a little something for ev-eryone and a good time was had by all.

Organizers for this years event were Corry Smyrski, Chantal Schmidt and Lin smitzniuk – great job ladies.

Powerview/Pine Falls Annual Christmas Craft Sale

Katherine Phillips is 11 yrs old , and this year aside from helping her grandma Bernice Phillips at the craft show, she had her own table of goodies to sell. She was selling her very own customized goat milk soaps (she ads colour and essential oils into a base and then pours it into molds). she was also selling hand painted (by herself of course) glass beads, pot pourri sachets, and their Three penny farm honey. Katherine has always been crafty and loves working with her grandma Bernice to prepare for craft shows.

There was something for everyone at this year’s craft sale.

LEST WE FORGET

Chair, Margaret Mills, at the recent IERHA Annual Gen-eral Meeting. Her focus was how what is provided and de-manded of the health care sys-tem is vastly different from half a decade ago. Targets need to be achieved for effi-ciency, role clarity, economy, simplification, elimination of overlap and redundancy and integrate where possible.

With the aid of a slide pre-sentation, the CEO showed where Manitoba ranks at or near the top in some deliv-erables, and at the worst or near last in others. The an-nual costs by year are esca-lating beyond sustainability. There will be added focus on Indigenous services and he showed the current service delivery using an example of access to the Mental Health system: overwhelming and complicated and disconnect-ed. He commented: if the system was not so complex, we would not need the posi-tion of “Navigators”. Full information can be found on the government and IERHA websites. www.gov.mb.ca/health/hst/index.html.

Corinne Katazinski re-viewed a handout with the current staff complement in Pine Falls Hospital, with their specialties. Record-sharing between the health care teams, including the pharmacies and the Reserves, is being updated to provide immediate access to medical treatment history. On anoth-er topic, she spoke about new funding becoming available through a grant, which will be focused on Mental Health Needs. It was acknowledged that the rising “Meth Crisis” has given rise to more people needing treatment, and in particular, exhibiting violent and unpredictable behavior. Additional meth clinics and detox kits will be coming.

A variety of measures have been taken to make the hospital a safer place. These

include installation of secu-rity cameras, more lighting, staff have panic alarms, and “code white” training, con-trolled entry to Emergency, and designated Safe Rooms.

Vivic Nair explained his new role as Acute Care man-ager. His concerns focused on freeing up ambulance transfers by using where pos-sible either the Handi Van or Air Ambulance services, stressing patient safety first. He is managing the overflow of patients in the hallway, if necessary, as most of the beds are currently occupied with patients waiting to be relocat-ed to long-term care. He in-dicated that he takes into con-sideration the need for family to be close, so has not trans-ferred patients out of the area. The Kidney Dialysis unit has been doubled to serve 20 pa-tients every day.

A short Q & A session raised questions on Home Care funding and current services; the Meth Crisis, its easy access and demands for help on current resources; use of EMS staff and ambulanc-es, 911 dispatch issues.

After a brief “muffin & coffee” time-out, the round-ta-ble work began. Issues raised from this exercise included: criticism of the IERHA’s com-munication: website, and Con-tact information that works; Personal Care Home avail-ability and proximity; EMS: at initial contact, availability, speed, scope of expertise of paramedics; Retention and Recruitment of appropriately trained staff. A final discus-sion between all participants covered concerns of prescrip-tion misuse, , ongoing need for vigilance with Sensitivity Training for all staff, and an urgency to develop a skilled geriatric focus as the popula-tion ages.

Information on the com-munity group is available from Gail Green, 204-756-3711.

On Saturday, October 27, 2018, the commu-nity group at Victoria

Beach, who are interested in being part of the health care solutions to better medical services, met with people charged with the task. There was an atmosphere that this type of exchange is worth the time for everybody, as it impacts everyone: both those needing care and those providing it. Over 50 area residents met to exchange information and ideas with Ron Van Denakker, CAO, IERHA; Wayne Ewasko, MLA for Lac du Bonnet, Vivic Nair, Pine Falls Hospi-tal Acute Care Clinical Man-

ager, Corinne Katazinski, Re-gional Manager, Acute Care and Pine Falls Clinic.

Wayne Ewasko brought information from the Gov-ernment’s perspective on the how and why of the need for a new direction to administer the complex services in the Health Care System. Com-paring Manitoba to other provinces, there is a huge dif-ference in lots of areas, spe-cifically in the ratio of costs per population numbers, and the number of unions and bar-gaining units. With the strat-egy to develop a more stream-lined administration, there are over 700 people working on various committees; 45-50

represent this area. Wayne also addressed the Personal Care Home needs, and what has transpired to bring more services. Aging in Place pro-gram and Federal funding of “Priority Home” is scheduled to be in place by April 2019.

Ron Van Denakker spoke about the recent efforts to provide all areas of the Re-gion first-hand, the planning process, what the Transfor-mation Team has developed from the Blue Print and Road Map announced earlier, in-cluding the need and purpose of the new Shared Health Department. He started by quoting from the presentation made by the IERHA Board

Remembrance Day

By Charles Norman

On November 11 2018 at 11:00 am (UK time) it will be ex-

actly 100 years ago that the “Guns of August” fell silent.

On this 100th anniversa-ry, London Transport police have been told not to display poppies on their vehicles, Cambridge University have voted not to recognise Re-membrance Day, and the sale of white poppies is expected to break all records in the UK. White poppies will also be sold in Canada this year.

The rationale for all of this is that Remembrance Day glorifies war.

Nothing could be further from the truth. No rational

person who has ever been directly involved in a war, or is aware of the nature of war at second hand, would ever

suggest that there is anything glorious about it.

There are certainly peo-ple who think that war is glo-

rious – they are the people that start them, not the men who have to fight them.

Remembrance Day is our

way of honouring those who have risked their lives, and in too many cases have lost

them, so that we may be free. They fought for their own freedom and ours too, and on November 11th every year we remember them.

Those who think we are glorifying war need a history

lesson.Cambridge Univer-

sity is one of the best in the world. The student body was once made up of the bright-est young men and women. Not now. They are still very bright, but they are not young

men and women, they are not event adults they are still chil-dren and appear likely to re-main so for a long time.

The London Transport Police Chief who made the “politically correct” decision to ban poppies on their ve-

hicles, has been responded to by police cars right across the country being smothered with poppies. The white poppy merchants are taking advan-tage of Remembrance Day to make a little propaganda for themselves, and make a little money in the process.

Here is the history lesson for these people.

Just about everything be-gan to go pear-shaped when, what historian Barbara Tuch-man called The Guns of Au-gust, opened fire.

Hundreds, perhaps thou-sands, of books have been written on the causes of the First World War, but they were really excuses. The As-sassination of the Austrian Archduke Ferdinand and his wife led to threats be-ing bandied about, Austria threatened Serbia, Russia Threatened to come to the aid of Serbia, Germany said they would support the Aus-trians, France had a treaty with Russia. Russia mobil-ised, other nations followed suit. Germany declared war on Russia on August 2, 1914, and on France on August 3rd. The German army marched through Belgium on its way to France without bothering to declare war on Belgium. Belgium had a treaty with England. Suddenly the whole of Europe was at war.

The overall objective was for the conquest of Europe from the Ural mountains to the Atlantic, and for the im-position of German Kulture on the entire region. They be-lieved that their culture was

superior to all others and that it was only right and proper that it should prevail. (Hitler did not invent the master race)

While all this was hap-pening, diplomats were fran-tically trying to avert war. It seemed almost as if it hap-pened by accident, but it did not.

Germany had been plan-ning for war for years. By 1906 they had a completed plan, A plan that they be-lieved would give them cer-tain victory. It was called the Schlieffen plan, after Alfred Graf von Schlieffen, a Ger-man Field Marshall. The plan was finalised in the spring of 1914, before the assassination of the Austrian Archduke.

Lest We Forget

The plan called for the defeat of France by the end of Au-gust.

Von Schlieffen’s plan called for a strong right flank attacking through Belgium. The sleeves of the right flank were to brush the English Channel. (A play on words. The German for the English Channel is Armelkanal, Ger-man for sleeve channel. On a map the English Channel does look rather like a sleeve. The French word for it is La Manche – The Sleeve.)

It is said that von Schlief-fen’s last words (He died in 1906) were “Keep the right arm strong” After penetrat-ing Belgium and northern France then the right flank

was to turn south, encircle the French army and destroy it.

The problem was that the passage through Belgium was too narrow for the mas-sive German army. It was slowed down to twenty miles a day, and even so their horse drawn supply train could not keep up. Because it was har-vest time the German army could feed itself off the land, but the sheer mass of the right flank proved unmanageable. They turned south to encircle the French too soon. Exposed their flank to a British and French counter attack, got bogged down into what very soon became trench warfare from Switzerland to the Eng-lish Channel. It was to last

for four years. Before it was over 22 million men women and children would be dead. Six million men died on the battlefield.

It was four years of unre-mitting carnage. Newly con-scripted French soldiers knew what was waiting for them. On the march to the front they would Baa like sheep be-ing led to the slaughter. After three years their morale be-gan to break, mutinies broke

out, their positions were re-inforced by British troops before the enemy was aware of what was happening. Only the introduction of American troops restored morale.

On the German side mo-rale was stronger. The com-munist coup in Russia in the fall of 1917, and the removal of Russia from the conflict helped overcome the news that the United Stated had joined in the war against

them.But the morale of the

German army was not to last much longer. The disrup-tion of the war and the Royal Navy’s blockade of German ports was making it increas-ingly difficult to adequately feed the troops.

ing, began to have its effect. By the second week in No-vember 1918 the German army was close to collapse. They were within days of go-ing home and leaving their weapons behind them. The November 11th Armistice saved the German army from a rout.

The first victim of war is the truth. During a war the language is weaponised. In peacetime the record is politicised. If you really want to know what war is about it helps to have an eyewitness that you can trust. In 1952 I

met a veteran of that war.I was an apprentice

draftsman, during that time I spent several months in the machine shop. I was taught key-fitting by a machinist with a wooden leg. His name was Bill. He had been in the infantry in the First World war, hence the wooden leg. When fitting a key you spend most of your time watching a milling machine do its work. It’s not noisy and gives you lots of time to talk.

We talked about the war. He confirmed just about ev-erything you have ever heard about the carnage of that war.

Field Marshall Von Schlieffen’s plan to quickly take over Europe instead lead to a stale-mate that saw unrelenting carnage.

I don’t want to repeat most of what he told me, but believe me, there was nothing glori-ous about it.

But two things that hap-pened to him are important.

The first was fairly early in the war. It was night time and he was on patrol in the area between the British and German trenches. A star shell burst above them and light-

ened up the battlefield. Twen-ty yards away was a German soldier, also on patrol. Bill killed the soldier with a gre-nade, but not before he got off a rifle shot. The German sol-dier proved to be a good shot. Bill was hit through the head. He was lucky. The bullet went through one cheek and out the other. He had a nice round scar in one cheek and

a ragged one on the other. He lost two teeth.

Bill had got what soldiers called a “Blighty”. Blighty was a slang word for England. “Getting a Blighty” meant you could go home. For you,

the war was over.But Bill volunteered to

go back. He later lost half his right leg to a German shell.

“I’m often asked if I’m sorry I went back.” He said. “But I have no regrets”

“Why did you go back” I asked him. He gave me a puz-zled look. “Freedom” he said, almost under his breath. “We were fighting for freedom.” It was a dumb question. We didn’t mention the war again.

WE THE PEOPLE OF THE RIVERNOUS LES GENS DE LA RIVIÈRE

The holidays are fast ap-proaching, and what better way to celebrate

the spirit of the season than giving back to your local com-munity museum? This year, the Winnipeg River Heritage Museum is holding an Equip-ment Donation Drive, and we need your help to make our Wish List a reality!

After the devastation of the 2014 fire, we lost not only the building and much of the collection, but also most of the behind-the-scenes mu-seum supplies. It’s now more important than ever to protect the artifacts that were saved

from the fire, and that means we need the recommended equipment essential to pre-serving a museum collection.

As construction of the new museum building enters its final stages, we’re begin-ning to rebuild our arsenal. That’s why we’re humbly asking you, our fellow mem-bers of the community, for support in this endeavour. We’ve put together a “Wish List” of tools, equipment, and furniture recommended by the Canadian Conservation Institute, some of which are pictured in the graphic below. For our full Wish List, com-

plete with examples, prices, and product links, please con-tact us (details to follow).

Here’s a quick rundown of ways you can contribute to our Equipment Donation Drive this holiday season:

Donate any item you al-ready own from our Wish List, provided it’s in good condition

Purchase any item from our Wish List and donate to the WRHM

Donate funds toward the purchase of any item from our Wish List

All donations are eligible for charitable tax receipts.

We encourage all poten-tial donors to please contact us prior to making any do-nations or purchases. Being a small museum, we have specific limitations on space and on the types of furniture/equipment we can bring into a museum environment.

There are a few ways you can get in touch with us:Email: Diane Dubé, WRHM Director [email protected]: WRHM office (204) 367-9970, ask for Diane or Taryn (weekdays between 9-5)

We welcome any con-

tribution, no matter the size. Your support will bring us that much closer to our goal and help protect your local heritage now and into the fu-ture. It’s been a rough couple of years for the collection - let’s give it the best new home that it deserves.

The WRHM’s Equip-ment Donation Drive will start November 9, 2018 and will be open for donations until the end of Winter 2019. You can view the full Wish List by contacting us or you can visit this link: www.winnipegriveradvocate.com/WRHM-wish-list

Mildred (Millie) Carlene Po-daima (nee Palamer)

January 18, 1936- October 29, 2018

It is with heavy hearts that the family announces the recent passing of Mille Podaima.

She will be lovingly remem-bered by her husband of 57 years,

Allan; her children, Kevin (Tamara) and Karen (Dwight); grandchildren; Sarah and Emily;

Sister, Stella; and extended family and friends.

Cremation has taken place and a private celebration held.

Family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the para-medics and Pine Falls Hospital staff for all

they did to try and keep her with us!

Marion Sigrid SharpeMarion Sigrid Sharpe (nee

McCulloch) of Pine Falls Mani-toba died November 5th, just 11 days shy of her 91st birthday. She was predeceased by her mother and father, Esther and Donald and her brother Carl. She is lovingly remembered by her brother Tom.

For over 70 years, Marion loved, tended to, argued with and accompanied husband Bill on life’s adventures. For her five children, Gaye (Keith), Kim (Lynn), Kelly (Joyce), Bill (Donnalee) and Tracy (Raymond), she acted as care-giver, confessor, defender and encourager all their lives. Her grandchildren - Danny, Larry, Christie, Robin, Sara, Macken-zie, Megan, Caleb, Billy, David, Jennifer, Michael, Jeremy, Patrick, Tess and Adam - never lacked for a listening ear or to be greeted by their favor-ite meal or dessert. Her great grandchildren Kylor, Kyliah, Marcus, Nicholas, Terry, Dylan, Riley, Zoe, Taya, Cameron, Grace, Reese, Ethan, John and Arthur were never forgotten on birthdays and Christmas. She was eagerly awaiting a new great-grandchild at Christmas.

In the truest sense, Marion was a homemaker. A warm bed, an extraordinary meal, the best pie ever, laughter and lively conversation greeted family, friend and stranger alike. She had a fierce passion for family and a tender heart for Mani-toba, especially Pine Falls. She served this community in count-less ways but especially through her work with the Rebekah Lodge and Pine Falls United Church.

The family is grateful for the wonderful care of her homecare workers and of the staff at Pine Falls General Hospital. A cel-ebration of life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, Novem-ber 9 at the Pine Falls United Church.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Pine Falls United Church, Box 597, Pine Falls, MB R0E 1M0.

In Memoriam

SHEILAGH MAE GEER(NÉE LAUDER)

September 14th, 1933 - October 17th, 2018

With her family by her side, Sheilagh passed away peacefully on October 17th, 2018.

Left to mourn and carry on her spirit are her children, Kama (Chet), Rod, Moira (Dennis)and Angie, her grandchildren, Lisa (Luc), David (Brittany), Kaitlyn (Mackenzie), Alex, Emilie, Aimee (Darrell), Carrie (Chris), Colleen, Colin and Mellissa, great-grandchildren, Aden, Letty, Hannah, Keagan, Chase, Chella, Jaxon, Darryl, and Bri-anna, and cousin Sal (Lyle). She was predeceased by her parents, Ken and Lu, and husband Peter.

Mom was passionate about all her interests, which were varied – Opera, reading, cats, foreign films, Greece, Lapsang Souchong, wine, Leonard Co-hen, Gordon Lightfoot, Howard Stern, Jeopardy, Stratford, Clear Lake, and the old CBC radio to name a few. Above all, her biggest pride and joy was her family. Mom had a quick wit and entertained us all with her storytelling. Always the voice of reason, she taught us to be kind, non-judgemental and to do whatever made us happy.

Despite her health challenges in recent years, Mom never complained and was always game for a trip downtown, home for Greek food and wine or anywhere else her kids would take her.

Mom’s outings wouldn’t have been possible without Bob, her bestie and chauffeur. The family cannot thank him enough.

Special thanks to friends Marilyn and Kathleen and all the staff from the Pine Falls Health Complex and home care teams. We are forever grateful for how you cared for Mom and allowed her to live the life she wanted.

There will be a private cele-bration of her life well lived.

If friends so desire, a memo-rial donation may be made to the Manitoba Opera or to the Winnipeg Humane Society.

Sure does love you mama. Say goodnight Gracie.
