History Of Winter Game Birds And Hunts On Hudson Bay
The article recounts the winter harvest of over 21 000 delectable game birds by Button's men and traces hunting methods from shooting to nets inspired by Indian practice. Samus Hearne notes net setups on ice with gravel luring birds, daybreak hunts, and occasional returns of 70 birds in a single haul, with yearly fluctuations such as 1785 when 2 000 birds were sent to Churchill Factory hogs.

Winnipeg Power Cut During Cold Spell
A Winnipeg Hydro spokesman blamed a 60 000 volt insulator failure at a North Winnipeg substation for a Friday night blackout. The cold 30 below zero delayed responses, leaving thousands without power from 7 02 p.m. to 7 23 p.m. in residential areas while downtown recovered in seconds. Traffic lights failed at major intersections, burglar alarms triggered, but hospitals reported no issues and no major accidents occurred. The fault was repaired as temperatures remained frigid.
