‘Everybody is very happy to be home’
6 minute read Updated: 4:05 PM CDTDolly Charlette couldn’t help but cry Sunday morning as she returned to her home in Cranberry Portage, a little more than one week after she and hundreds of residents fled from an out-of-control wildfire encroaching on the community.
“I was so overjoyed that I got to come home and the town looked normal,” Charlette said by phone, describing how a group of firefighters formed a welcoming party to greet evacuees as they arrived.
“They had a big welcome sign and were just waving and everything.”
Large swaths of land near Cranberry Portage have been burning since May 9, prompting evacuation orders which forced more than 500 people out of the community and nearly 700 in total from the region.

5 minute read Yesterday at 2:02 AM CDTMonths after marrying a one-time pro wrestler, Melody Sanford orchestrated a plan in which her estranged husband was beaten to death in a “vicious” murder-for-hire plot.
Now, a jury will decide whether Sanford, 60, can apply for early parole on her sentence for first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder, Court of King’s Bench Justice Shawn Greenberg ruled earlier this month.
Sanford, along with her friend Rita Cushnie and Cushnie’s son, Donald Richard, were convicted by a jury and given life sentences with no parole for 25 years in October 2011 for the slaying of 43-year-old Ivan Radocaj in September 2007. Cushnie had her conviction overturned in 2013 but was convicted a second time of first-degree murder in 2015.
Two co-accused, Daniel Richard and Christopher Houle, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.

2 minute read Yesterday at 11:39 AM CDTTwo St. Boniface Hospital sections were temporarily evacuated Friday as a bomb squad removed a “volatile substance.”
Members of the Winnipeg Police Service were called to the St. Boniface Hospital Albrechtsen Research Centre around 10:40 a.m. Friday.
A chemical commonly stored at the research centre had likely expired, said Const. Claude Chancy, a WPS public information officer.
“Once it does so, it becomes more volatile in nature and has to be disposed of,” Chancy explained.
