‘We feel lucky — and a bit traumatized’: Tornado confirmed in River Heights Sunday

Tanner Lemieux wasn’t surprised to learn the violent winds that tore through River Heights and reached their peak near his home Sunday night have been classified as a tornado.

While driving back to his Lindsay Street home from a shopping trip with his wife Sunday, it became clear they were not in the middle of an ordinary thunderstorm when rain and wind started coming from every direction and hit every side of their truck.

The forceful wind made it impossible for him to open his door after they had parked. He climbed through the window, over the top of his vehicle, and the couple struggled to fight the whipping winds to make it into the house.

“As we were running in, the wind started pulling me backwards out of the door,” he told the Free Press while cleaning debris from his yard Thursday.

Blown save sees Goldeyes season slip away

THE Winnipeg Goldeyes feasted all year on home cooking.

But they came up empty when they needed it most, falling 6-5 to the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks on Friday night at Blue Cross Park to end their championship pursuit before it really got going.

The stunning way this must-win game turned is likely going to leave players and the nearly 5,200 fans in attendance with some lingering indigestion.

With a 5-3 lead in the top of the ninth inning, Winnipeg’s normally reliable closer, Derrick Cherry, was brought in with the idea of shutting things down, evening the best-of-three series 1-1 and forcing a winner-take-all showdown on Saturday night.

Canadian cannabis stocks spike as U.S. reportedly set to reclassify marijuana

TORONTO - Canadian cannabis stocks soared Tuesday afternoon after The Associated Press reported the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency will move to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug.

Canopy Growth Corp. closed up 80 per cent at $20.45, while Aurora Cannabis Inc. and Tilray Brands Inc. closed up 46 per cent and 40 per cent, respectively.

The Associated Press, citing five sources familiar with the matter, reported the DEA's proposal would recognize the medical uses of cannabis and acknowledge it has less potential for abuse than other, more dangerous drugs.

However, it would not legalize marijuana for recreational use.

Artist’s inspired work brings Red River Métis story back to Portage and Main

Jennine Krauchi calls them the “grandmothers.” “They speak to you very silently. You never hear a word, but they speak,” Krauchi says, referring to the antique pieces of Métis needlework she’s carefully studied for years. But there are few precedents for her latest art project: a 85-foot-wide by 32-foot-high chain curtain of Métis needlework that drapes over the historic Bank of Montreal’s neoclassical facade.
