It’s your call on further contact with ‘dad’

Maureen Scurfield 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My birth father has shown up in Manitoba — he got a transfer here for a job. He has never expressed any interest in me before except to send my mother pay-off money over the years.

At his insistence, I met recently with him and his wife for lunch and then we went to a mall where he wanted to buy me really expensive running shoes. I’m an adult — not a little kid.

Also, “Dad” is not a success in my eyes. Where was he when I really needed him?

Unfortunately, I look just like him — the younger version my mom says she fell for years ago. Apparently, I passed muster at the first meeting with him and he wants to have a barbecue at their house to show me around to other relatives.

MIKAELA MACKENZIE / FREE PRESS FILES A Winnipeg Transit bus driver is recovering after a passenger stabbed him in the leg with a syringe.

Transit driver stabbed with syringe by passenger

Tyler Searle 3 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 9:16 PM CDT

A Winnipeg Transit driver is recovering in hospital after a passenger stabbed him in the leg with a syringe while riding the bus early Wednesday, the Amalgamated Transit Union says.

The union said the incident occurred shortly before 1 a.m. while the operator was stopped in the northbound lanes of Isabel Street, near William Avenue. A female passenger reached around the driver’s safety shield and stabbed the driver twice before getting off the bus.

The driver was taken to the Seven Oaks Hospital in stable condition, where he is undergoing treatment and further testing, union president James Van Gerwen said in an interview.

“We spoke to the member. He is doing OK, but he is still in the hospital and he is scared — as anybody would be,” Van Gerwen said.

RUTH BONNEVILLE / FREE PRESS Winnipeg Goldeyes pitcher Derrick Cherry (left) says catcher Raphael Pelletier (right) ‘keeps everyone looking good on the field.’

Goldeyes catcher Pelletier moonlights as team barber

Taylor Allen 6 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 10:06 PM CDT

Tucked inside the Winnipeg Goldeyes’ clubhouse is a no-frills washroom with a urinal, a pair of toilets and a trio of sinks beneath matching mirrors.

But when rookie catcher Raphael Pelletier drags in a well-worn black leather salon chair with cracked upholstery and lays out his clippers, trimmers and shears, the space transforms into something else: a barbershop.

While far from luxurious, it’s the type of haircutting experience that could only exist inside the wacky world of independent baseball.

“He keeps everyone looking good on the field, honestly. We needed this,” said third-year Goldeyes pitcher Derrick Cherry, while getting a trim on Wednesday ahead of the team’s game against the Chicago Dogs.

Countdown to tee off at the Manitoba Open begins

Mike McIntyre 6 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

It’s not quite at Stanley Cup drought territory — that sits at 33 years and counting — but it’s been a long wait for a Canadian golfer to capture the prestigious Manitoba Open.

Seventeen years, to be exact, since Graham DeLaet accomplished the feat.

Could that be about to end? We’ll find out when one of North America’s longest-running golf tournaments tees off at Elmhurst Golf and Country Club from Aug. 20-23.

The odds may be better than they’ve been in ages. Two Canadians have won on the PGA Tour Americas this season, and both will arrive in Winnipeg looking to add another title while strengthening their bid for a career-changing advancement to the Korn Ferry Tour.

JUSTIN TANG / THE CANADIAN PRESS Prime Minister Mark Carney’s proposed changes to the Canadian Senate are not yet completely clear.

Where is Mark Carney going with Senate changes?

Paul G. Thomas 6 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

A decade after Justin Trudeau dropped Liberal Senators from the party’s national parliamentary caucus and introduced a new appointment process based on non-partisan criteria, his successor, Prime Minister Mark Carney, has recently reintroduced partisanship as a possible basis for appointment to the 205-member Senate.

Commentators were quick to offer immediate, mostly negative assessments of the Carney move. My view is that before rushing to judgment, we need to know more about what Carney has planned for the future partisan makeup of the Senate and its independence from government control.

In law, the Governor General appoints senators, but in practise they are selected by the prime minister.

Historically, appointment was mostly based on past or anticipated future service to the governing party. Trudeau broke with this tradition by making non-partisanship a criteria for appointment. He also created independent advisory committees to identify potential nominees.

Nine-block walk on Portage Avenue reveals difficult present, some cause for optimism

Dan Lett 5 minute read Yesterday at 3:32 PM CDT

On a recent visit back to Winnipeg, I got to witness the multitudes of Portage Avenue.

From my Airbnb on Hargrave Street, I had the opportunity to do quite a bit of walking on Portage Avenue, from Portage and Memorial all the way down to the recently opened intersection at Portage and Main.

Along the way, I saw it all: huge and dynamic construction projects, persistent urban decay and the occasional oasis of revitalization.

All in the space of nine blocks.
