ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Because there is a moon alert all day, things are a bit loosey-goosey. This day is whatever you make of it. It’s a great day for the arts, socializing and enjoying the outdoors. However, restrict spending to food and gas. Postpone important decisions.

Six inquests called, including into death of homeless woman run over by cruiser

Tyler Searle 4 minute read Yesterday at 6:12 PM CDT

Manitoba’s chief medical examiner has called inquests into the deaths of six people, including a woman who was run over and killed at a homeless encampment at a Winnipeg park two years ago.

Dr. John Younes announced the inquests Thursday, noting such reviews are mandatory under the Fatal Inquiries Act. They will probe the deaths of four people following interactions with police, and two others who died while in custody.

Tammy Bateman, 39, died Sept. 2, 2024, when she was “run over by a police vehicle moving at a low speed” while “reportedly lying down on a gravel road” in Fort Rouge Park, Younes said.

“The medical examiner’s office was notified, and an autopsy was authorized. The immediate cause of death was determined to be multiple traumatic injuries due (to) pedestrian vs motor vehicle collision. The manner of death was accidental,” he said.

Plan to stay busy with overseas sweetheart

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I got a surprise phone call the other night from a number I thought I recognized and took a chance on answering it.

It was an old English girlfriend who still lives in London, where I went to university. I’ve been lonely this summer, so I thought, “What harm could there be in a friendly chat?”

I poured myself a big glass of wine as we started conversing. She was all flirty and charming — and hinting she wanted an invitation to come to Canada and visit me.

That sounded kind of exciting, and as I had another drink (and another) as we kept on talking, things got into full swing! Now she’s coming to Winnipeg for three weeks in the very near future. That can be a long time, if things go badly. Help me!

New Royal MTC artistic director to ensure everyone gets an equal voice on stage

Randall King 7 minute read Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2018

It’s kind of like going from a nomadic existence to suddenly having two homes.

That’s what it’s like for Kelly Thornton to shift from her 17-year tenure at Toronto’s Nightwood Theatre to come to Winnipeg to take the helm of the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre.

When she takes over the role of artistic director from retiring A.D. Steven Schipper in June of next year, Thornton, 53, will program for two venues, the Royal MTC’s John Hirsch Mainstage and the Tom Hendry Warehouse Theatre.

Keep in mind that, in her years at Nightwood, Thornton had no single theatre to call home.

Unions’ battle over turf hurts health care

Unions’ battle over turf hurts health care

Dan Lett 5 minute read Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2019

When the Progressive Conservative government announced a plan to massively consolidate unionized bargaining groups in the health care system, it claimed the goal was to improve efficiency and patient care.

The fact that it has pitted some of the province's largest public-sector unions against each other in gladiator-style combat is just a side benefit.

The Canadian Union of Public Employees has accused the Manitoba Government and General Employees' Union of lying and fearmongering in a bid to win the support of health care workers in upcoming representation votes.

CUPE's letter focused on the issue of whether the province, through the regional health authorities, will force home care workers and hospital aides, slated to become part of one bargaining unit, to change where they work on a whim to meet staffing shortages.

Ostrowski files $16-M wrongful conviction lawsuit

Ostrowski files $16-M wrongful conviction lawsuit

Dean Pritchard 4 minute read Tuesday, Jun. 16, 2020

Nearly two years after Manitoba’s highest court added his name to the list of the province’s wrongfully convicted, Frank Ostrowski has filed a $16-million lawsuit against those he alleges played a role in sending him to prison for 23 years for a murder he says he didn't commit.

Ostrowski, 70, was convicted in 1987 of orchestrating the drug-related shooting death of 22-year-old Robert Nieman and sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.

In 2018, nine years after he was released on bail pending a federal review of his case, the Manitoba Court of Appeal stayed Ostrowski’s murder conviction — ruling an undisclosed prosecution deal with police informant Matthew Lovelace, in return for his testimony, resulted in a miscarriage of justice.

Also not disclosed to the defence were notes and a report from a Winnipeg Police Service officer, Sgt. N. Jacobson, who had a phone conversation with the informant a few hours before the slaying, during which Lovelace identified another man, not Nieman, as the target of a shooting.
