• Snow job for angels

  I had to drive from Winnipeg Beach to Winnipeg for a doctor’s appointment. It was snowing and I turned off Highway 9 onto a secondary road to get to Highway 8. The turn was a curved yield lane, but because there was so much snow and no tire tracks, I could not see where the road was.

  We thought Christmas would be ruined when our autistic son lost a bag of his video games on the way to a doctor’s visit. He was devastated and after checking with neighbourhood businesses and schools, we gave little hope of finding the games and saving Christmas for our son.

• It's catching on

  I would like to thank the family that was in the car in the West Broadway area recently. I had just got off the bus from a morning downtown finishing up my Christmas shopping. I was walking toward my apartment building when this girl who maybe was in her late teens or early 20s jumped out of the car. I assumed that they were lost and she was going to ask for directions. Not so.
