Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - January 3, 2020, Winnipeg, Manitoba C M Y K PAGE B2 A FTER days of uncertainty that followed the rescue of a stray dog with pellets in her body, metal in her belly and a plastic jar stuck on her head, the group that’s been caring for the beleaguered but friendly pooch said she appears to be improving. Manitoba Underdogs Rescue post- ed on Facebook that the dog, which they’ve been calling Greta, remains in a Winnipeg veterinary hospital but appears “much brighter and was full of smiles” when a member of the group visited Tuesday. Last weekend, the group posted an update stating Greta had blood in her urine and wasn’t interested in eat- ing, and spokeswoman Lindsay Gil- landers warned her recovery wasn’t certain. The latest post said there is still swelling in Greta’s neck from a bite wound, which is believed to have come from other dogs. RCMP have said police were con- tacted Boxing Day by a homeowner in a northern community who told them the dog was underneath her deck. Officers cut the plastic jar off the dog and took her to a shelter. Manitoba Underdogs Res- cue said Greta’s blood was to be checked again to ensure everything is improving, noting she remains in the vet hospital for observation. “We know so many people have grown to love this beautiful dog as much as we do! The support we have received has been overwhelm- ing,” Tuesday’s post from the group stated. The group said there was evidence she’d been shot with a pellet gun six times. Gillanders said her group was told that not only was Greta’s head stuck in the jar, which she believed was a peanut butter jar, but the jar was also frozen to the ground. Initial bloodwork found Greta was suffering from metal toxicity, and an X-ray revealed a mass in her stom- ach that turned out to be metal. The group believes the dog was from eat- ing cans. Gillanders said vomiting was in- duced and the metal came up, along with a turkey bone and a Christmas orange. She explained the starving animal may have swallowed a can because sweet residue remained on it. The group is accepting donations to pay for Greta’s care (www.manitobaunderdogs.org/donate). — The Canadian Press B 2 FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 2020 ● WINNIPEGFREEPRESS.COMNEWS The Movies Friday Jan. 2 to 9, 2020 Landmark Cinemas 8 Grant Park 1120 Grant Ave. 204-453-4084 CATS (G) CLOSED CAPTIONED, RECLINERS, RESERVED SEATING Fri., Sun.-Thu. 1:30-4:15-7:10-10:15; Sat. 1:30; CLOSED CAPTIONED, RECLINERS, RESERVED SEATING Sat. 4:15-7:10-10:15 LITTLE WOMEN (G) CLOSED CAPTIONED, RECLINERS, RESERVED SEATING Fri.-Thu. 12:30-3:40-6:50-10:10 RICHARD JEWELL (PG) (COARSE LANGUAGE,VIOLENCE) CLOSED CAPTIONED, RECLINERS, RESERVED SEATING Fri.-Wed. 12:45-3:50-7:20; Thu. 12:45-3:50 STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER (PG) (VIOLENCE) EXTRA EXPERIENCE, CLOSED CAPTIONED, RECLINERS, RESERVED SEATING Fri.-Wed. 3:30-7:00; CLOSED CAPTIONED, RECLINERS, RESERVED SEATING Thu. 1:15-6:30-9:20; CLOSED CAPTIONED, RECLINERS, RESERVED SEATING Fri.-Sun. 10:00-10:30-11:30-6:30-9:20- 10:20; Mon. 1:15-6:30-9:20-10:20; CLOSED CAPTIONED, RECLINERS, RESERVED SEATING Tue.-Wed. 1:15-6:30- 9:20-10:20; EXTRA EXPERIENCE, CLOSED CAPTIONED, RECLINERS, RESERVED SEATING Thu. 3:30-7:00; 3D (PG) (VIOLENCE) CLOSED CAPTIONED, RECLINERS, RESERVED SEATING Fri.-Thu. 3:00-10:00; EXTRA EXPERIENCE, CLOSED CAPTIONED, RECLINERS, RESERVED SEATING Sun.-Mon. 10:30; Tue.-Wed. 12:00-10:30; Thu. 12:00; EXTRA EXPERIENCE, CLOSED CAPTIONED, RECLINERS, RESERVED SEATING Fri.-Sat. 12:00-10:30; Sun.-Mon. 12:00; Thu. 10:30 FROZEN II (G) CLOSED CAPTIONED, RECLINERS, RESERVED SEATING Fri.-Sun. 10:15-1:00-4:00-6:40; Mon.- Thu. 1:00-4:00-6:40 BOMBSHELL (14A) (COARSE AND SEXUAL LANGUAGE) CLOSED CAPTIONED, RECLINERS, RESERVED SEATING Fri.- Sun. 1:50-4:30-7:30-10:40; Mon., Wed.-Thu. 12:15-4:40-7:30- 10:40; Tue. 4:40-10:40; CLOSED CAPTIONED, RECLINERS, RESERVED SEATING Tue. 12:15-7:30 1917 (14A) (VIOLENCE) CLOSED CAPTIONED, RECLINERS, RESERVED SEATING Thu. 7:20-10:20 JUMANJI: THE NEXT LEVEL (PG) (COARSE LANGUAGE,VIOLENCE) CLOSED CAPTIONED, RECLINERS, RESERVED SEATING Fri.-Sun. 10:45-1:40-4:45-7:40-9:50; Mon.-Thu. 1:40-4:45-7:40-9:50 Cineplex Odeon McGillivray & VIP Cinema 2190 McGillivray Blvd. 204-269-9981 THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING: EXTENDED EDITION Fri. 9:00; Sat. 8:00; Sun. 7:30; Tue. 6:30 ANDRE RIEU: 70 YEARS YOUNG Fri., Sun. 1:00; Thu. 6:30 LITTLE WOMEN (G) CC/DVS Fri.-Sun. 12:20-3:35-6:50- 10:05; Mon., Thu. 6:40-9:50; Tue. 3:35-6:50-10:05; Wed. 9:50 STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER (PG) (VIOLENCE) CC/DVS, NO PASSES Fri.-Sat. 12:00-3:20-6:40- 10:00; CC/DVS, NO PASSES Sun. 12:00-3:15-6:30-9:45; CC/ DVS Mon., Wed.-Thu. 6:30-9:40; Tue. 3:30-6:45-10:00; VIP 18+, NO PASSES Fri.-Sun. 2:30-6:00-9:30; VIP 18+ Mon., Wed.-Thu. 6:00-9:15; Tue. 6:00-9:30; 3D (PG) (VIOLENCE) VIP 18+, NO PASSES Fri.-Sun. 12:00-3:30-7:00-10:30; VIP 18+ Mon., Wed.-Thu. 7:00-10:15; Tue. 7:00-10:30; NO PASSES Fri.-Sat. 12:30-3:50-7:10-10:30; NO PASSES Sun. 12:30-3:45-7:00-10:15; Mon., Wed.-Thu. 7:00-10:10; Tue. 4:00-7:15-10:30 CATS (G) CC/DVS Fri.-Sun. 3:20-9:45; Mon., Wed.-Thu. 9:45; Tue. 3:40-9:45 BOMBSHELL (14A) (COARSE AND SEXUAL LANGUAGE) CC/DVS Fri.-Sat. 2:00-4:50-7:35-10:20; Sun. 1:45-4:35-7:20- 10:05; Mon., Wed.-Thu. 7:25-10:10; Tue. 4:50-7:35-10:20 THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS (14A) (VIOLENCE,FRIGHTENING SCENES) Sat. 3:30 THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING: EXTENDED EDITION Sat. 11:00 1917 (14A) (VIOLENCE) CC/DVS, NO PASSES Thu. 7:00- 9:55 JUMANJI: THE NEXT LEVEL (PG) (COARSE LANGUAGE,VIOLENCE) CC/DVS, NO PASSES Fri. 1:25-4:25; CC/DVS, NO PASSES Sat. 11:00-1:25-4:25; CC/DVS, NO PASSES Sun. 1:10-4:10; VIP 18+ Mon., Wed.-Thu. 6:30-9:45; CC/DVS Tue. 4:25; CC/DVS, NO PASSES Fri.-Sat. 7:25- 10:30; CC/DVS, NO PASSES Sun. 7:10-10:15; CC/DVS Mon. 7:15-10:05; Tue. 7:25-10:30; Wed.-Thu. 7:15-10:10; VIP 18+, NO PASSES Fri.-Sun. 12:15-3:10-6:30-10:00; VIP 18+ Tue. 6:30-10:00 RICHARD JEWELL (PG) (COARSE LANGUAGE,VIOLENCE) CC/DVS Fri.-Sun. 12:15-6:30; Mon., Wed.-Thu. 6:50; Tue. 6:30 KNIVES OUT (PG) (VIOLENCE,COARSE LANGUAGE) CC/ DVS Fri.-Sun. 12:45-3:50-7:00-10:10; Mon. 7:00-10:05; Tue. 3:50-7:00-10:10; Wed. 6:50-9:45 A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD (PG) (VIOLENCE) CC/DVS Fri. 6:05; Sun. 4:40; Mon. 9:15; Tue. 3:45; Wed. 7:00-9:35; Thu. 10:00 Cinema City Northgate 1399 McPhillips St 204-334-6253 ADORING Fri. 12:50-3:20-6:40-9:45; Sat. 12:55-3:25- 6:45-9:50; Sun. 2:00-4:55-6:50; Mon., Wed.-Thu. 7:10; Tue. 6:10-8:50 GOOD NEWWZ (PG) (COARSE LANGUAGE) HINDI W/E.S.T.

On New Year’s Eve, members of the fire department were called to an apartment at 515 Elgin Ave. around 11 p.m. Inside the building, an individual punched and threatened to kill a firefighter before arming himself with a knife, the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service said this week. A second firefighter was also injured. The suspect was restrained by firefighters until police arrived. Roy Junior Chief has been charged with as- sault with a weapon, assault, uttering threats, and resisting a peace officer. MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION NAMES NEW LEADER THE Association of Manitoba Municipalities has announced Denys Volkov is its new execu- tive director. “Denys’s skills, vision for the AMM’s future, and his extensive knowledge of municipal Manitoba based on 14 years of professional work experience within the sector make him the ideal person to take over the executive director role,” a news release said Thursday. Volkov has been with the organization since 2011. He has been director of advocacy and communications. He takes over the association executive director role from Joe Masi, who spent 20 years with the organization. FAMILY LAW RESOURCES COMPILED ON WEBSITE THE Manitoba government has created a new website for all family law resources in one place. The site went live Thursday. It provides lists of public, private and community services and organizations, as well as templates to help arrange parenting time, pointers to resources such as arbitration, mediation and dispute- resolution services, and contacts for legal help. The province reiterated its commitment to modernizing the area of family law, noting about 3,000 to 5,000 Manitoba families are affected by separation or divorce each year. TEEN CHARGED WITH FIREARMS OFFENCES WINNIPEG police have charged a 17-year-old male with a number of weapons offences. Officers were near Selkirk Avenue and An- drews Street at 2:26 p.m. Wednesday, when they saw a teenage male who was wanted, police said Thursday. The suspect fled on foot, but was arrested a short time later hiding in a yard on the 500 block of Flora Avenue. In the suspect’s possession were an impro- vised firing device, materials that can be used to build an improvised firing device, three 12-gauge shotgun shells and three .22-calibre rounds of ammunition, police said. The male has been charged with nine fire- arms and ammunition offences. He was also processed on multiple outstanding warrants. HOMEMADE GUN SEIZED IN SANDY BAY A 16-year-old male was arrested and a homemade firearm was seized following a domestic disturbance Dec. 27 on Sandy Bay First Nation. Manitoba First Nations Police Service officers responded to the call from a residence in the community located 175 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg. After seeing a youth leave the residence in possession of what appeared to be a home- made (or “zip”) gun, officers ordered him to drop the weapon, and the suspect was taken into custody, police said Thursday. The youth has been charged with careless use of a firearm, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm knowing unauthorized, and failure to comply with probation.
