NEW YORK – The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is partnering with a Michelin-starred chef.

The Met says chef John Fraser will create new dishes to add to the menu for its fourth-floor Dining Room restaurant, which until recently was open only to museum members. The Wall Street Journal reports Fraser says his winter dishes will feature mushrooms.

The Met says it will also create a special new cocktail menu for its Great Hall Balcony Bar.

The museum says it will open its “In Conversation” dinner series, previously available only to members, to the public. The series features chefs from across the nation who will create a one-night dining experience that ties in with a Met exhibit.

Hospital window smasher gets 90 days in jail

Tessa Adamski 3 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

BRANDON — A 35-year-old man from The Pas was sentenced to 90 days in jail after he admitted to smashing a garage window in the ambulance bay of the Brandon hospital while intoxicated.

James Constant pleaded guilty in Brandon provincial court on Thursday to mischief under $5,000 and breaching a probation order that prohibited him from possessing weapons. Two additional charges, involving failing to comply with a probation order and possessing a dangerous weapon, were stayed.

On July 15, Constant was taken to the Brandon Regional Health Centre by ambulance after he overdosed and became “aggressive” and “unco-operative” with paramedics, says an agreed statement of facts read in court by Crown attorney Rich Lonstrup.

“He took a piece of wood and smashed the garage-door window within the ambulance bay,” Lonstrup said.

A Life's Story: Beloved matriarch, kindergarten teacher lived a musical life

Phyllis Dana faced a choice: leave Winnipeg to study opera at a prestigious Philadelphia school, or marry the man she loved.

She chose the latter.

Now, her Juno-winning granddaughter cherishes a Happy Birthday voicemail sung by Phyllis. Three generations of Dana women — Phyllis, her daughter, and granddaughter — would sing in Winnipeg’s prominent Jewish spaces. And hundreds of Manitobans know the matriarch as their kindergarten teacher.

“My mom said, ‘A sheet of music won’t keep you warm at night,’” Karen Dana recalled.

Automation reaches new heights on farm

Laura Rance-Unger 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

LANGHAM, Sask. — The thousands of farmers from across the Prairies who flock to the annual Ag in Motion show every July seem oblivious to the possibility the technology on display could one day replace many of them.

Families with children in tow, Hutterite colony workers, grandparents and young couples just starting out roamed through the 600 or more exhibitor displays, amazed at how everything about farming just keeps getting bigger, more efficient and increasingly more automated.

It’s now possible to seed using a 100-foot-wide drill — a 12-foot jump over the widest available a few years ago — provided the farmer can afford a tractor with enough horsepower to pull it. Those sell for around $850,000 and up.

Granted, the number of farms with enough acres to justify that kind of width and drawing power is still relatively small, but farms continue to grow. And it’s no secret the number of people who have the interest, skills and financial wherewithal to run them continues to shrink.

Convicted sex offender awaits latest sentence

Dean Pritchard 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

Prosecutors are seeking a 15-year prison sentence for a Red Lake, Ont., man who groomed two Indigenous girls online and drove nearly 500 kilometres to Winnipeg to sexually abuse one of them.

Scott Christopher Alcorn, 50, has pleaded guilty to one count each of child luring, sexual interference and possession of child sexual abuse material.

Alcorn was still on parole for child sex offences at the time of his April 2025 arrest, having been convicted four years earlier of providing a 16-year-old girl a bottle of alcohol in exchange for sex.

“Despite this (prior conviction)… Mr. Alcorn egregiously reoffended, this time to lure two children online and successfully groomed, manipulated and commodified one of (the victims),” Crown attorney Dayna Queau-Guzzi told provincial court Judge Robert Heinrichs at a sentencing hearing Thursday.

Mayor tight-lipped about firefighter charged with disobeying protection order while on job

Malak Abas 4 minute read Friday, Jul. 24, 2026

Mayor Scott Gillingham said he can’t talk about the case of a firefighter accused of breaching a protection order while on the job this month — a man who has been jailed twice in the past 10 years for harassing two women.

Christopher Goethals was arrested July 21 after breaching a protection order requiring that he not come within 200 metres of a protected person.

Police said Goethals, 59, was in full uniform, driving a Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service fleet vehicle, and was performing “modified duties” on the job when he breached the order.

When asked about Goethals being able to serve as a firefighter under those circumstances, Gillingham called it a human resources issue. He said he wouldn’t get into specifics, but would “look into this matter further.”
