In brief: Mounties assaulted, Lac du Bonnet arrests, Selinger doctorate, food recall
A suspect bit a Selkirk RCMP officer while she was being arrested early on Saturday, Mounties say. Officers were called about a disturbance at a home on Outhwaite Drive in Selkirk just before 3 a.m. Saturday, but were told the woman who had been fighting people in the home had left before police arrived, RCMP say. The Mounties patrolled the area and didn't find her, but 20 minutes later, the suspect returned to the house, where they found her outside the front door. SUPPLIED North Shore Fishery frozen breaded shrimp patties (above) and tempura shrimp rolls have been recalled. RCMP say as officers brought her to their cruiser, the suspect kicked at one of the Mounties and then bit another officer, who went for medical treatment, in the leg. Mounties say she continued to be violent and harm herself at the local detachment and paramedics took her to the Selkirk hospital for treatment. A 22-year-old woman is facing charges for resisting arrest and two counts of assaulting a police officer. TWO MEN were arrested after police observed a break and enter at a Lac du Bonnet business. After arriving at the Minnewawa Street business at 5 a.m. on May 29, RCMP officers said they saw a utility task vehicle driven off the yard at a high rate of speed. Officers chased the vehicle until it abruptly stopped. Two males were arrested without incident. RCMP later determined the side-by-side vehicle was stolen from the business and other stolen items were scattered nearby. The total value of the items is $27,000. A 26-year-old man and a 40-year-old man, both from Fort Alexander, were charged with break and enter, theft over $5,000, flight from police and possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000.

Parker: Creative agency continues to Strut its stuff after 25 years
Life has its ups and downs, and businesses have certainly suffered through some tough times over the past few years. Yet, the good ones pulled through — and many, including Strut Creative, have prospered. Article content Strut kept its long-standing accounts and has acquired some amazing new local and international clients. Article content Founded by Aaron Salus and Natalie Selinger out of Selinger's spare bedroom, the company is celebrating its 25 th anniversary next month. Article content Article content It grew, and although taking bigger space above Café Beano in Kipling Square — and for many years in the office building at the corner of 17 th Avenue and 2 nd Street S.E. — during the pandemic its staff got used to working remotely. Today, it conducts its business virtually, with half of the staff of 13 in Calgary and the rest in Toronto, Ottawa, Edmonton, Canmore and the Okanagan. Article content Article content Selinger left to raise a family and Salus has been joined by partner and creative strategist Russ Bugera in achieving Strut's success in its three main areas of brand, campaigns and digital platforms. Article content Among its newer clients, Salus is proud of the work Strut has done in the not-for-profit world for the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA). Strut was charged with communicating the findings of its scientific studies to help people understand the risks of alcohol abuse. It produced a campaign in newspapers, transit and digital to direct people to the CCSA website, resulting in huge numbers responding to its overarching goal of improving the wellness for people experiencing the harms of substance use. Article content Article content 'Drink less — live more' was Strut's advice. Article content CCSA is based in Ottawa, and Salus says it contacted Strut after admiring the good work it has done for Canadian Geographic over the past 16 years. Article content The Calgary company has completed some remarkably good projects for Canadian Geographic, most recently in rebuilding its online magazine experience, including an interactive map and feature photography articles, and a collection of powerful tools facilitating searching through decades of content. It brings it to life in ways not possible in the print issues of the 96-year-old magazine, while increasing reader engagement, subscription, donations and advertising. Article content Other notable campaigns for Canadian Geographic include Live Net Zero, helping Canadians reduce household carbon emissions; sharing the stories of Indigenous peoples with online and app resources for the Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada; and 10,000 Changes, championing Canada's commitment to rethink plastic.
