Country singer Glen Campbell has released a heartbreaking final song and video.

I’m Not Gonna Miss You, recorded in 2013 with producer Julian Raymond, is the final song he will record since being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2011, according to CNN.

“I’m still here but yet I’m gone / I don’t play guitar or sing my songs,” the song begins. Campbell, 78, goes on to sing about his wife, Kim, saying “You’re the last person I will love / you’re the last face I will recall,” as clips of the two through the years play in the music video. The career-spanning video also flashes through performances, family home videos and doctors discussing brain scans with him.

Teacher barred for ‘repeated boundary-crossing conduct’

Maggie Macintosh 3 minute read Yesterday at 11:01 PM CDT

A disciplinary panel has ordered the cancellation of a Chinese-Canadian teacher’s certificate because of her “repeated boundary-crossing with a student” during her tenure at an international school with local ties.

Janice Wen Ying Ma is permanently barred from teaching on Manitoba soil or at a Manitoba-accredited institution as of Sept. 14.

The new ruling concludes that Ma engaged in inappropriate physical interaction and “emotionally intimate online messages” with a girl who attended Clifford International School in Guangzhou, China in 2024-25.

“This conduct represents a fundamental departure from the standards expected of a teacher,” the panel, chaired by public representative Gordon Schumacher, wrote in its 22-page decision.

Orange Shirt Day project fits students to a tee

Maggie Macintosh 5 minute read Yesterday at 6:57 PM CDT

On the eve of Orange Shirt Day, hundreds of black T-shirts will be handed out to teenagers at Elmwood High School — and there wasn’t a mixup in the clothing procurement process.

The student-run business behind the initiative wanted to make a statement about “truth and reconciliation” being a year-round activity, said Daniel Concepcion, a Grade 12 student.

Daniel said given that black is a staple in the wardrobe of teenagers, he hopes these shirts won’t sit on hangers for 364 days of the year.

“Every child matters, every part of the day, every day,” the 17-year-old said.

John Woods / THE CANADIAN PRESS FILES Winnipeg Jets defenceman Tyrel Bauer has proven his stickhandling ability is just as useful than being the tough guy on the ice.

Tyrel Bauer makes no apologies for the pugilistic piece of his path.

The Winnipeg Jets defenceman is ready to drop the gloves and throw down when the situation calls for it and he takes great pride in protecting his teammates.

It’s a big part of the reason Bauer will be among the 23 players submitted by the Jets on the opening-day roster on Monday.

“I’ve fought and clawed, both metaphorically and literally and now I just want to show that I can play as well,” Bauer said during a chat with the Free Press during training camp. “(Toughness) is always something that I have, it’s always something in my back pocket and something that I take a lot of pride in doing, for my teammates, for the city and the people who invest in this hockey club. That will never change.
