Episode 85 was filled to the brim with excitement, interviews and new music from two artists making their way through Winnipeg.
We launched 85 with local news headlines.
For the second time in two years Emergency crews were called to help rescue
passengers stuck on River Rouge cruise ship.
Emergency crews responded to a private dock on Kingston Row after the passenger
vessel was unable to move due to Engine problems.
As of 5:00 this evening the cruise ship was seen tied to a tree near the Bridge-Drive Inn. Maintenance crews are hoping to fix the problem as soon as possible and expect to be up and running soon. Winnipeg Fire officials will not allow the staff to remain over night.
No passengers have said to be in danger.
Winnipeg police responded to a CIBC Bank yesterday afternoon in the 3400 block of Roblin Boulevard where they say a lone suspect with bear spray went to the bank's teller area and demanded money. The suspect is then reported to have sprayed the substance into the air.

A 54 year old male who was working as a sub-contractor for the bank then got into a "physical altercation" with the robber and was subsequently injured and was sent to the hospital in critical condition. The victim has since been upgraded to unstable condition.
Investigators are still looking for the suspect who was described as a white male between 5'7 to 6'0 tall with a medium build.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 986-6219 or Crime stoppers at 786-8477.
Two Winnipeg Jet's fan got more than they bargained for after purchasing what were thought to be real Winnipeg jets tickets online.
Police have
warned that people buying tickets over the Internet should use caution after arresting a 28 year old male.
The
suspect was charged with theft from mail, fraud under$ 5,000 and possession of
property obtained by a crime. Officials from the Winnipeg Jets club suggest
purchasing tickets through authorized outlets.
Before getting into our interviews we announced a neat incentive that Lays Potato chips had launched earlier this week.
The Winnipeg Jets are destined to make this a winning season and become hometown heroes for the province. It is in this spirit that PepsiCo Foods Canada through its Lay’s brand has launched ‘Hometown Heroes’ - a year-long campaign that recognizes and celebrates local individuals who make a positive impact on their community.

A selected nominee will receive a pair of coveted tickets to a Winnipeg Jets home game, as well as formal recognition during the Lay’s Hometown Hero in- arena activation. The Lay’s brand hopes to recognize a Hometown Hero at each home game – that’s 41 Hometown Heroes throughout the 2011-2012 hockey season. All Manitobans are encouraged to share their hometown pride during this inaugural year for the Jets.
