U of W marks 10 years of Indigenous education requirement

Maggie Macintosh 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

The University of Winnipeg is collecting course outlines, historic concerns about systemic racism on campus and related records to mark the 10-year anniversary of mandating Indigenous studies.

The unveiling of a new archive drew nearly 200 people to Centennial Hall on Thursday afternoon to reflect on how the Indigenous course requirement, also known as “the ICR,” came to be.

University archivist Brett Lougheed told the crowd its inception is “an amazing story” of student activism that, until now, wasn’t accurately reflected in U of W records.

“What little material we had told the story of administration’s role in developing the ICR as though it was the ultimate driver… and not a student-led response to racism,” Lougheed said.

Health experts: Human-to-human spread of new virus worrying

Ken Moritsugu, The Associated Press 7 minute read Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2020

BEIJING - World health officials expressed “great concern” Wednesday that a dangerous new virus is starting to spread between people outside of China, a troubling development as China and the world frantically work to contain the outbreak. For a second day, the number of infections grew dramatically.

The new virus has now infected more people in China than were sickened there during the 2002-2003 SARS outbreak. On Wednesday, the number of cases jumped to 5,974, surpassing the 5,327 people diagnosed with SARS.

The death toll, which rose to 170 on Wednesday, is still less than half the number who died in China from SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome. Scientists say there are many questions to be answered about the new virus, including just how easily it spreads and how severe it is.

In a report published Wednesday, Chinese researchers suggested that person-to-person spread among close contacts occurred as early as mid-December. Based on the first 425 confirmed cases, the researchers estimate that each infection led to 2.2 others on average. That’s a bit more than ordinary flu but far less than some other respiratory diseases such as whooping cough and tuberculosis. The rate for SARS, a cousin to this new virus, was estimated to be 3.

Sometimes memories collide across decades.

The comparisons between the fires Monday at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and the 1968 blaze in St. Boniface were inescapable to at least one generation.

Read the latest news on the cathedral fireAs the world watched in horror online or on TV, the flames obliterated the French icon, its centuries of standing witness to history erased by fire. In Winnipeg, at least one man who witnessed the St. Boniface Cathedral fire more than 50 years ago found himself struck by memories.

The fire in St. Boniface started near the top of the building, moved to the roof and funnelled into deadly spirals that blew off the bell towers. The blaze started during renovations. Firefighters found it impossible to scale stone walls to attack the flames so high up.

OTTAWA – Nevada’s Mineral County went years without bus service. Its rural towns, spread out like most of northern Manitoba, lost Greyhound service in the 1990s, ending a lifeline to the outside world.

“It impacted a lot of people,” recalls Chris Hegg, vice-chairman for the county's board of commissioners. “We're kind of on the frontier, as they call it.”

He recalls ads in the local newspaper, where adults working in cities offered to pay local residents with a car to bring their senior parents to medical and veteran appointments in Reno or Las Vegas. “It became a barter service,” he said.

Those ads finally stopped when a subsidized bus service started serving the county seat of Hawthorne in 2014.

Morrissey focused on improving, leaving disappointments in the past

Like several members of the core group before him, Winnipeg Jets defenceman Josh Morrissey shared a few thoughts Thursday about the disappointment of last spring’s first-round playoff exit against the Colorado Avalanche.

The alternate captain was emotional when he spoke to reporters after the deciding game, expressing the importance of learning from the heartache to help the group push forward. Now, speaking with media following the first on-ice session of training camp, Morrissey made it clear he wasn’t interested in living in the past, even if it provided some additional motivation.

“I don’t think it ever really goes away for me. Obviously, it was a tough end and it takes a couple of weeks to collect your thoughts but, for me, it was pretty much in my head all throughout the summer,” said Morrissey. “Just not being satisfied with having a great regular season and all that kind of stuff and trying to improve and work on things.”

Morrissey is coming off consecutive seasons in which he garnered plenty of votes for the Norris Trophy. After notching a career-high 76 points in 2022-23, he posted an impressive 69 points while taking great pride in improving his defensive metrics.

Sequestered skivvies seem like last straw

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My husband, who earns a hefty income, stayed in the city most of the summer working, except for a few long weekends with the kids and me at the cottage. He has giant work projects that need daily tending.

I work hard, too, with our four kids, two dogs and a cat. But I have to tell you I got a shock last week after coming home to organize my family team for a thorough cleaning of our three-storey home.

You’ll never guess what they found up in the attic — hidden boxes of sexy women’s lingerie that all looks brand-new.

I’ve kept my mouth shut so far, but my mind is spinning.
