Winnipeg man among those missing in Nepal flash flood

Free Press staff 2 minute read 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.

Council candidates call out vandalism after campaign signs defaced in Waverley West

Scott Billeck 5 minute read Updated: 3:15 PM CDT

A council candidate in Waverley West said she will not be intimidated after 16 of her campaign signs were vandalized this week — some with apparent gang symbols.

Nafiya Naso is the second candidate in the ward whose signs were defaced this month. Jasmine Brar, who is also running for the council seat, had some of her signs broken on Friday along Kenaston Boulevard and signs near Naso’s that were also defaced on Saturday.

Earlier this month, Eaglewood Park in the nearby Prairie Pointe neighbourhood was also vandalized with graffiti that included homophobic slurs, anti-India messages and repeated references to “3LK” — a symbol Naso believes is associated with a gang.

Naso’s signs, located along Waverley Street near Tim Sale Drive and across from École South Pointe School in southwest Winnipeg, were spray-painted with apparent gang signs, crude drawings and other messages, including “loser” and “Ur not winning” written across her name and photograph.

The silent stalker overtaking our sidewalks

Russell Wangersky 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Under the McPhillips railway bridge lives an overload of a sensory experience — and not in a nice way.

Once in a while, the city sidewalk sweepers make their way through the narrow, dark passageway, clearing away the sometimes inch-deep pigeon droppings along the edges. But most of the time, it’s the worst part of my walk.

There’s the guano — slick as grease when the sidewalk’s filled wall to wall with standing puddles — plus dead pigeons, broken pigeon eggs, discarded needles. Regularly, small handfuls of discarded, opened, probably stolen mail, as well as torn-open delivery packaging. The smell is overpowering, and it all seems like ground zero in an avian-flu-breeding sci-fi movie.

It’s also a pinch-point on McPhillips: the roadway has narrowed to two lanes to fit under the old bridge, and the sidewalks are narrow as well, tucked between a concrete wall on one side and steel girders that can only be described as encrusted on the other.

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.

Former Eskimo calls for team to change name

Rob Drinkwater, The Canadian Press 3 minute read Sunday, Nov. 29, 2015

EDMONTON - A former Edmonton Eskimo who once visited Nunavut with the Grey Cup says it's time to respect that the team's name is considered offensive to aboriginals.

"We have to honour the aboriginal communities of our great country and respect the fact that the name is deemed offensive and oppressive to these communities," Andre Talbot said from Toronto, where the retired 2004 Grey Cup champion played for the Argonauts but spent his final season in 2010 with Edmonton.

"Sports organizations need to be community building organizations. And if we're isolating and offending part of that community, then our particular organization or league is not doing its job."

In 2012, Talbot was part of a 100th anniversary tour of the Grey Cup that stopped in Iqaluit, and the trip involved more than just posing for pictures with the trophy. For two days, Talbot visited community centres and spoke with youth, answering their questions and even playing touch football with them.
