Jully Black is heading back on the road, and bringing some emerging talent with her.

The singer-songwriter kicks off her “Songs and Stories” tour Feb. 7 in Oakville, Ont.

Black, known for early 2000s hits such as “Seven Day Fool” and “Running,” says it’s been 17 years since she’s headlined her own cross-country tour, and her first as an independent artist.

She’s tapped Edmonton’s Afro-fusion group Melafrique to support 14 dates, with “Canadian Idol” graduate oH! The Artist joining the bill in Oakville, Töme in Montreal, Domanique Grant in Brampton, Ont., and pop artist Zochi in Regina and Saskatoon.

Black also stops in Calgary; Winnipeg; Sherwood Park, Alta.; Camrose, Alta.; Brandon, Man.; and the Ontario cities of Keswick, St. Catharines, Ottawa and London.

Although she’s performed live several times over the past decade, Black’s last national summer tour was in 2008 for her album “Revival.” In 2013 she toured northern Ontario.

Four teenagers have died in a highway crash near Winnipeg Beach.

Manitoba RCMP are investigating the two-vehicle collision, which happened at about 9:15 p.m. Sept. 6. A vehicle travelling west on Highway 229 was struck while crossing Highway 8, RCMP stated in a news release Monday.

Everyone inside the westbound vehicle died at the scene, including the driver, an 18-year-old female from Winnipeg, and three passengers: an 18-year-old male from Gimli, an 18-year-old female from Sandy Hook and a 17-year-old male from Ear Falls, Ont.

The intersection is controlled by stop signs for westbound and eastbound traffic. Both vehicles went into the southwest ditch, with one vehicle rolling and landing on its roof, RCMP stated.

Enrolment up at alternative schools

Maggie Macintosh 5 minute read Yesterday at 10:02 AM CDT

Independent schools are preparing to welcome a record number of students as more families pay for faith-based instruction and secular alternatives.

The overwhelming majority of Manitoba children — 200,000 — are starting in the public school system this fall. Since 2000, the percentage of students enrolled elsewhere — in homeschools, funded and non-funded independent schools — has nearly doubled, to 12 per cent from seven per cent.

“If money was no object, we could fill dozens and dozens more classrooms with the demand for independent education,” said Andrew Micklefield, executive director of the Manitoba Federation of Independent Schools, who is a former Tory government house leader.

The King’s School, Dasmesh School, Springs Christian Academy, Beautiful Saviour Lutheran School, Steinbach Christian School and IQRA Islamic School have all either upscaled at some point over the last five years or are actively in the process of expanding their footprint.

Fanning takes aim at Canadian title on home course

Mike McIntyre 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Todd Fanning would love to make this a September to remember.

The decorated Manitoba golfer — who added a second straight provincial senior men’s championship to his impressive resumé earlier this summer — is now laser-focused on trying for a national title.

Fanning, 58, is one of the favourites as the Canadian senior men’s championship begins today at Niakwa Country Club, which just so happens to be his home course.

“Anyone who thinks they’re going to come out and see a bunch of old guys just whacking it around (is mistaken),” Fanning recently told the Free Press. “It’s going to be a heck of a week.”

Thousands affected by storm-related power outages

1 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 8:45 PM CDT

Thousands are still without power in Winnipeg after high winds and thunderstorms knocked out power lines Sunday.

About 4,000 Manitoba Hydro customers were still dealing with outages this morning after crews worked to restore power in the Westwood and River Heights areas, Hydro spokesman Peter Chura said. On Sunday, Hydro reported outages affecting approximately 6, 700 customers.

The high winds and heavy rain brought down trees and broke power poles, causing "very severe damage," in River Heights, one of the hardest-hit neighbourhoods, while some of the damage in the Westwood area appeared to be caused by lightning strikes, Chura said.

Thunderstorms rolled in at about 6 p.m. Sunday and brought heavy rain and high winds to some areas of the province. Winnipeg received about 35 mm of rain, while some areas got almost double that. More than 62 mm was recorded at The Forks and 68.8 mm was recorded at Portage Southport, according to Environment Canada.
