Rebekah Winsor, Age 7 2013-2014 CHILDREN’S MIRACLE NETWORK CHAMPION presented by Each year, Children’s Miracle Network honours remarkable children from Canada and the United States who have triumphed despite severe medical challenges. Rebekah Winsor was selected as the Janeway’s 2013-2014 Children’s Miracle Network Champion, presented by Walmart Canada. Her battle started with a simple headache. When the pain and duration increased, Rebekah’s parents knew there was something terribly wrong. Tests at a local hospital were inconclusive, and she was air-lifted immediately to the Janeway Children’s Health and Rehabilitation Centre. Here, her parents’ greatest fear was confirmed: Rebekah was experiencing a spontaneous brain bleed. Specialists and surgeons took 5-year-old Rebekah into their care for emergency brain surgery. Post-surgery and in critical condition, Rebekah was kept in an induced coma to help her stabilize. It took more than a week for health care professionals to slowly wake her. Once awake, she had to relearn how to do everything: how to walk, dress herself, and even how to swallow. The team at the Janeway was committed to providing excellence in care, resources, and treatment necessary to result in a full recovery. Rebekah beat the odds and is now happy to be singing and playing soccer again. As the 2013-2014 Janeway Champion, Rebekah, along with Champions from each of “The Janeway is an the pediatric hospitals throughout Canada, took part in Champion events in Toronto. amazing place,” says Laura, All Canadian Champions then travelled to Florida to meet the American Champions Rebekah’s mom. and participated in Children’s Miracle Network Celebration events at Walt Disney World.

    1/22/2018 How Minnesota became the center of the snack universe | MinnPost How Minnesota became the center of the snack universe By Burl Gilyard | 01/19/18 What’s so special about a bag of popcorn? Kernels, oil, salt; maybe a little butter, or at least “butter flavoring.” Everyone sells popcorn. You can even make Courtesy of Twin Cities Business it yourself. But Angie’s Boomchickapop, born in a Mankato garage in 2001, became something more than just popcorn. The name itself was explosive, as the neon-bright bags practically jumped off the shelves. The better-for- you popcorn pitch struck a chord with people looking for healthier food options. Chicago-based food giant ConAgra Brands Inc. liked it too—so much that it paid $250 million in October to own the brand. The deal marked the end of a remarkable journey for founders Angie and Dan Bastian since they began making their first product in their garage under the name Angie’s Kettle Corn. But it also spotlighted the rarely explored world of Minnesota’s snack industry, from giant Golden Valley-based General Mills (20 percent of its $10 billion+ in North American sales are now in snacks) to the medium-sized Roseville- based Old Dutch Foods Inc. and startups such as St. Louis Park-based JonnyPops. It’s a timely topic, given how much this niche in the food world is growing. Salty snacks alone now constitute a $28 billion-a-year industry in the United States. In fact, snacking has never been more popular: 91 percent of consumers are now snacking several times in a day, as the sit-down, three-meals- https://www.minnpost.com/twin-cities-business/2018/01/how-minnesota-became-center-snack-universe 1/12 1/22/2018 How Minnesota became the center of the snack universe | MinnPost a-day tradition continues to wane, according to Bellevue, Wash.-based Hartman Group.
