Kevin Takatch was getting groceries in Los Angeles when he stumbled into an art sale celebrating 25 years of Jackass.

The Winnipeg designer behind BeLove suddenly found himself surrounded by famous faces, carrying one of his own jackets and wondering who he could get to wear it.

Then he spotted comedian Eric André, who appears as himself in the reality stunt/prank franchise, and asked him to model the jacket.

“I knew I couldn’t (wimp) out, like I did with the first celebrity I saw,” says Takatch, who declined to give his age.

Crown attorneys union scores win ahead of hearing

Dean Pritchard 3 minute read 5:13 PM CDT

The union for Manitoba Crown attorneys is applauding an arbitrator’s decision to approve the admission of an expert report on workload issues at an upcoming grievance hearing with the province.

The ruling, by arbitrator Michael Werier, involves a report commissioned by the Manitoba Association of Crown attorneys that expands on a 2023 survey of union members about workload and health issues.

“The decision to admit the survey of our membership allows us to properly make our case about the conditions our members face,” association president Michael Desautels said in a news release.

“As the decision makes clear, the use of this kind of expert opinion is well established in Canadian labour law. It was unfortunate that the government felt the need to litigate this issue in the first place.”

Chef Alex Bockarie is bringing an age-old African culinary battle to Winnipeg.

On Saturday, five local chefs hailing from Senegal, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ghana and Nigeria will go head-to-head to determine who makes the best jollof — a rice dish simmered in a savoury tomato-based stew.

“Jollof rice originated from Senegal but it has spread throughout West Africa and every country has its own method of cooking it,” Bockarie says. “It’s a long-standing fight; even among the communities here in Winnipeg, everybody’s always saying that Sierra Leone’s (jollof) is the best, Ghana’s is the best, Nigeria’s is the best.

“It’s a friendly competition; friendly, but very serious too.”

Last summer, Michelle Finley was going about a normal day.

She had just dropped her car off at a garage and was walking back to her office building downtown when, suddenly, she was stopped in her tracks by a searing cramp on the bottom of her right foot.

“It was so painful it took my breath away,” says Finley, now 52. “I stopped and held on to the side of a building for a second — like, it was bringing tears to my eyes.”

Finley thought she had a really bad case of plantar fasciitis. Nine months later she would lose her foot to sarcoma.
