Owners of beloved Shawarma Time return with new eatery

Jill Wilson 7 minute read Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2019

Notre Dame Avenue is becoming a bit of a hotbed of new restaurants and food outlets.

Starting with the easternmost offering, there’s Altanour Restaurant and Deli, which has been open for about four months. It’s owned and run by Talal Dalank and his wife, Dounia, the former owners of Shawarma Time on Ellice.

Dalank, who immigrated to Canada from Lebanon about 26 years ago, made headlines in 2017 when he donated two days’ worth of his restaurant’s profits to the refugee centre Welcome Place, after being inspired by seeing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau welcoming Syrian immigrants with winter jackets.

When the Dalanks had to return to Lebanon to deal with a family emergency, they reluctantly sold Shawarma Time. However, the family maintained their residence in Winnipeg; on trips back to the city, Talal would frequently run into former customers who missed his food. When he was able to return, he and Dounia opened a new place. The menu is slightly expanded and also offers catering options, thanks to a larger kitchen in the simply decorated two-room restaurant.

Severe weather preparedness not one-time exercise for businesses

Abiola Odutola 3 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

BRANDON — Local business owners should prepare for the possibility that severe weather could disrupt their operations — even when their facilities escape major damage, a climate resilience expert told the Brandon Chamber of Commerce last week.

Emilia Cameron of the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction told attendees at a September luncheon the recent flooding and heavy rainfall across southern Manitoba affected several businesses.

“Businesses need to prepare not just for direct damages to buildings, but for wide disruptions that can prevent them from operating,” she said. “Road closures, power outages, damaged infrastructure, internet failures and employees being unable to reach work can all bring operations to a standstill.”

Supply chains can also be affected when suppliers cannot reach their customers, she said.

Five takeaways from Thursday's Bombers win

Jeff Hamilton 6 minute read Friday, Aug. 6, 2021

There was no shortage of unknowns heading into Thursday's CFL season-opener — and 2019 Grey Cup rematch — between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

After all, it had been 620 days since either team had played, and nearly two years away from the field can leave its mark. How would players perform after such a long layoff? Can you believe we've made it to this point? How long might this last?

Rust be damned. What transpired was four quarters of quality football, resulting in a hard-fought defensive battle and a 19-6 victory for the Blue and Gold. The CFL is officially back.

There was a lot to like from the Bombers, who are now a perfect 1-0 on the year, and some areas that need to be further discussed before next week's battle with the visiting Toronto Argonauts Friday night. Here are your five takeaways from Week 1.

Break spell before it hexes your marriage

Maureen Scurfield 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I have an itch that needs to be scratched every couple of days. I sneak home with a new young woman from my workplace, who is a witch, and spend an hour or more with her, learning some things my wife doesn’t know anything about. It’s not really sexual with this new person yet, but I’m feeling intrigued by her witchy-ness — and more.

I’m fascinated and want to learn whatever she’s willing to teach me as we go along. This is especially cool now my “magic woman” has told me she’s interested by the darkness in me. Whatever that means. Nobody’s ever noticed that before.

I feel my wife really doesn’t need to know I’m into this stuff. It would only hurt her, and it may lead to nothing. But how do you keep a secret from your partner for any length of time when they know your every mood and can almost smell your secrets?
