After 20 years, Planet of Sound is still in its own orbit around the world of music

David Sanderson 8 minute read Sunday, Sep. 20, 2020

According to a press release issued last week by the Recording Industry Association of America, for the first time since 1986 — the year songs such as Madonna’s Papa Don’t Preach, Peter Gabriel’s Sledgehammer and Falco’s Rock Me Amadeus were topping charts all over the globe — sales of vinyl records outstripped sales of compact discs for the initial six months of the year.

Hey, Mr. Mister, it wasn’t even close. The RIAA report stated that between January and June, audiophiles doled out US$232.1 million on vinyl albums as compared with just less than US$130 million on their digital counterparts. And while that bit of news was music to the ears of Planet of Sound owner Dave Wright, it certainly didn’t come as some big surprise.

“Vinyl is definitely on the upswing and has been for a while, which is precisely why we started carrying it in the store about 10 years ago,” says Wright, whose cosy, 800-square-foot shop at 1109 Henderson Hwy., which stocks a healthy number of LPs in addition to CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays, even an assortment of long-considered extinct LaserDiscs, will celebrate its 20th anniversary in November.

“It’s not just people who grew up listening to vinyl, either,” he goes on, sporting the office uniform: sneakers, dark jeans and an aquamarine-coloured, zip-up hoodie, the latter of which only partially conceals a well-worn, Joy Division T-shirt. “The other day there was a gal in here who I would have put at around 14. She picked up the Tea Party’s Edges of Twilight plus an album by the Wallflowers, the one that had their first big hit on it (we think he means Bringing Down the Horse). As she was taking out her debit card to pay I was like, how do you even know about these groups? Don’t they predate you by at least 10 years?”

Winnipeg man among those missing in Nepal flash flood

Free Press staff 2 minute read Yesterday at 10:06 AM CDT

A Winnipeg man on a pilgrimage in Nepal is among nearly 2,000 people missing after a deadly flash flood devastated a popular tourist region along the Himalayan border earlier this week.

Mohit Kaushik, 49, was travelling with a tour group taking part in the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra, a sacred, days-long pilgrimage to Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar in neighbouring Tibet, according to social media posts.

“Our friend and neighbour, Mohit Kaushik, a resident of Winnipeg, Canada, has been out of contact since yesterday while travelling from Timure during his pilgrimage to Kailash Mansarovar,” Swikriti Pokhrel wrote in a social media post. “If you have seen him or find his name on any hospital list, please let us know. Thank you.”

Kaushik has not been heard from since Wednesday, when a glacier collapse in the nearby Himalayas triggered catastrophic flooding and landslides, sending a torrent of ice, rock and debris roughly 100 kilometres downstream.

Lake fever

Re: Lake Ontario ‘then, now and always’ (Aug. 28)

Some people are stupid and uninformed and uneducated about history, as well as lacking in empathy and respect for other cultures, especially Indigenous cultures and their rich histories.

If all of the above are true for some of the American public and for Donald Trump — then you go ahead and call it Lake America!

Connor McDowell/The Brandon Sun Manitoba Health Minister Uzoma Asagwara says the loss of an annual $150-million health-care agreement with the federal government would mean losing predictable funding that helps stabilize staffing on the front lines of health care.

Province urges federal government to continue vital health-care funding

Carol Sanders 4 minute read Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025

Manitoba wants the federal government to renew an annual $150-million health-care agreement that, for the last three years, has helped the province go “further, faster” to staff up the front lines.

“The loss of these agreements would mean that we’re losing predictable targeted federal contributions that have helped us stabilize staffing and strengthen health care — not just health care in our hospitals, but community-based care as well,” Health Minister Uzoma Asagwara said Friday.

The program, dubbed “Working Together to Improve Health Care for Canadians,” was announced in February 2023; the federal government has earmarked close to $150 million a year in 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26. Tuesday’s federal budget made no mention of renewing those funding agreements.

“I think there was an opportunity missed today to signal that the bilateral funding agreements for your health care are going to continue,” Premier Wab Kinew noted in his response to the budget on Tuesday. One of the deals Manitoba signed is set to expire at the end of March.

A security guard was taken to hospital after an assault at a Sargent Avenue FreshCo Friday, just days after another guard was stabbed during a robbery at a St. James Dollarama.

Winnipeg police said officers were called to a store in the 600 block of Sargent Avenue shortly after 1 p.m. for a report of an assault.

An adult victim was taken to hospital in stable condition. Police did not provide details about what led to the assault or whether any arrests were made.

The incident comes three days after a 22-year-old security guard was stabbed during a robbery at a Dollarama in the Courts of St. James.
