Cut melon linked to US salmonella outbreak recalled

Police are asking for help locating a 36-year-old woman missing for approximately 10 days.

Last seen on July 18, Dixie Richard was reported missing Saturday evening to Cross Lake RCMP, said a news release from Mounties Monday, with both police and her family concerned for her well-being. 

She was in Winnipeg for an appointment, but it’s unclear if she made it and nobody has seen her since, said RCMP. It’s believed she’s still in the city.

Richard is described as five-foot-one with a thin build and black hair. RCMP said she was last seen wearing a black tank top and leggings, black Nike shoes and had a black cross-body bag. She may also be wearing a black baseball hat.

Every few weeks, Winnipeg repeats the same ritual.

An encampment is dismantled. People gather what little they own and move somewhere else. Outreach workers start over. Police respond to the next location. Emergency departments see the same people. Neighbours grow more frustrated. Businesses absorb another loss.

Then the cycle begins again.

We’ve mistaken movement for progress.

Theatregoers made this year’s Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival the best-attended edition since before the pandemic.

Marking a 3.4 per cent increase over 2025’s festival, this year’s fringe welcomed 87,832 attendees to 31 venues across the city. That translated to $879,522 in box office revenue, each dollar of which goes to performers from the festival’s 160 companies.

This year’s festival — the 39th — marked an upward climb in both attendance and revenue, though there is still some way to go before the fringe reaches the heights of its final pre-pandemic edition in 2019: that year, ticketed attendance totalled 98,673.

Executive fringe producer Chuck McEwen said in a release that the festival “remains one of the most vibrant celebrations of theatre in Canada and North America.”
