Councillor facing sex charges running for re-election

A Winnipeg city councillor who faces sexual assault charges says he is running for re-election.

A day before Tuesday’s deadline, Russ Wyatt registered to run in the Transcona ward where he has served five terms and to which he was first elected in 2002.

“After much reflection, I have decided to stand for re-election in the Winnipeg municipal election,” Wyatt said in a statement Monday.

“Time and time again, I have stood up to the powers that be, and they would love to get rid of me. But I see the mess this city is in today, with the disastrous new bus routes, ever rising water bills, developer largesse, and poverty in our streets,” he said.

Serious crash at West Kildonan intersection known for collisions

Nicole Buffie 3 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 6:09 PM CDT

Residents in West Kildonan say an intersection that was the site of a serious car crash Sunday morning is notoriously dangerous.

Rob Lick heard a loud bang around 7 a.m. and rushed out of his home on Leila to see what the commotion was. He saw two crushed SUVs, a white and black one, in the intersection. Police vehicles arrived shortly after.

“It sounded like when (garbage trucks) drop a big dumpster,” he said. “I heard somebody crying or wailing, they were standing by the vehicle so I don’t know who exactly it was or if someone was injured.”

The sound of sirens followed shortly after when emergency crews came to the scene. The intersection was immediately blocked off.

Jack St. Ivany was on the driving range preparing for a round of golf on the morning of June 29 when he noticed he had missed a call from Kyle Dubas.

The general manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins was reaching out to inform St. Ivany that he had been moved to the Winnipeg Jets in a deal for Swedish forward David Gustafsson.

“He’s not really calling me on the regular, so I figured I was traded or that something bigger happened,” St. Ivany said before the Jets faced the Colorado Avalanche in exhibition action on Monday. “I had never really been traded. Everything unfolds quickly. It was pretty crazy. Before you know it, you’re with a new team and you turn the page.”

A series of phone calls followed, including one from Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff, welcoming him to the organization.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros did not participate in the club’s practice on Monday as the starting pivot deals with a head injury. But head coach Mike O’Shea hasn’t ruled the starting QB out of Friday’s game just yet.

Bombers backup Brown takes reps at practice as Collaros recovers from head injury

Taylor Allen 6 minute read 6:26 PM CDT

Let’s cut to the chase: Zach Collaros is dealing with a head injury and did not participate in Monday’s practice.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers returned to work Monday for the first time since beating the Saskatchewan Roughriders 19-6 in the Banjo Bowl — a game their starting quarterback left early after his head hit the turf while attempting to force a defender out of bounds following an interception.

Given Collaros’ well-documented injury history, and the fact that he’s sidelined to start the week despite the club coming off a bye, it’s unlikely he’ll be under centre Friday when the Bombers (7-6) host the Toronto Argonauts (8-6).

“Always, more so as a friend just concerned for his health,” said right guard Patrick Neufeld on his concern level for Collaros.
