Burn off that jelly belly with sexercise

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I ate so much over Christmas I visibly gained weight. I can’t get any of my good pants done up. My skinny wife is making unfunny jokes. Last night she called me Jelly Belly and said, “Looks like Santa’s here to stay.” Either I have to lose weight or accept the fact that new weight that comes on never stays off for any length of time. I don’t know what to believe, or what to do. — 10 Pounds Fatter, Fort Rouge

Dear 10 Fatter: There’s hope! Of course, you can’t keep eating like you were. But the Christmas pig-out usually ends of its own accord when the last of the holiday goodies has been scarfed down (or thrown in the bottom of the freezer, out of sight). Here is something that actually will work to get your pants done up — start exercising and weight-lifting. The waist is often the first place to respond when you start working out. For cardio, I heartily recommend sex and romantic walks. See if you can get your skinny wife out walking with you in the evenings after dinner. Walking and crisp, cool air invigorate the body — perhaps you can come home for some “sexercise” afterwards. What a fun way to get rid of your Christmas belly. Happy 2016!

Slow start but gritty play not enough in Bombers OT loss to Roughriders in Labour Day Classic

Ken Wiebe 7 minute read Yesterday at 11:38 PM CDT

REGINA – Leave it to Brady Oliveira to succinctly describe that fine line between jubilation and the alternate.

In the aftermath of another Labour Day Classic that went down to the wire, Oliveira went through the joy of tying the game with no time left on the clock to the empty feeling that came moments later when the Saskatchewan Roughriders finished off a 32-26 victory on Sunday night before a raucous crowd of 34,352 at Mosaic Stadium.

“It’s terrible,” said Oliveira. “You just kind of feel all of the emotions. I’m pretty pissed right now. We were close, we were right there. We didn’t play our best football and we still gave ourselves a chance, which could be a silver lining.

“I don’t like to look at silver linings because the fact of the matter is we play this game to get positive results. We want to win the game and we didn’t win the game. So, I’m pissed.”

‘It’s childish’: Americans in Canada react to Trump’s renaming of Lake Ontario

Sharif Hassan, The Canadian Press 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 10:39 AM CDT

If you’re angered by U.S. President Donald Trump's renaming of Lake Ontario to “Lake America,” chances are that an American living in your neighbourhood might be just as outraged — if not more.

Many Americans who've made Canada their home are calling it an embarrassing, even "childish," stunt.

Ben Davis, a retired law professor, said Trump’s executive order to change the lake’s name is "so beneath the office of the United States president."

"And obviously it's another one of his distractions of the day, but it's just pitiful,” Davis said.

A life's story: translator, poet, radio host, actor loved life to the fullest

Born with an innate sense of curiosity, Charles Leblanc always wanted to understand the world around him. To him, words and theatre weren’t just pastimes. They were means of understanding the human experience and helping others see different perspectives.

The poet, translator, actor and radio host dedicated his life to this practice, founding the Winnipeg International Writers’ Festival, establishing French community radio station Envol — where he hosted a show for 25 years — and acting as a core member of the Association of Translators, Terminologists and Interpreters of Manitoba.

Leblanc’s contributions and dedication to Manitoba’s arts and literary scenes made an impact that continues to be felt by the community.

He died June 26 at the age of 75.

A Winnipeg man awaiting sentencing after admitting he strangled three cats to death and dumped two of their carcasses under a city bridge, has died, the Free Press has learned.

Randy Jensen, 25, pleaded guilty on May 13 to one count of wilfully causing injury or suffering to animals in connection to the 2024 killings.

He was scheduled to be sentenced in January.

“That’s not something that anybody wanted,” said Kristy Zamonsky, founder of Project Artemis Animal Advocates. “We were all hoping for justice through the courts.”

REGINA – Jermarcus Hardrick knows exactly what kind of battle he is in for on Sunday in the 61st edition of the Labour Day Classic.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders right tackle has ample experience lining up opposite Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive end Willie Jefferson, both as teammates and opponents during the past decade and change.

In this pivotal matchup between Prairie rivals jockeying for position in the CFL West Division, this head-to-head battle in the trenches figures to be must-see TV.

“Willie is one of my best friends, one of the best players in the league. It’s amazing to see what he’s doing on film, what he’s always done on film,” said Hardrick, who spent eight seasons with the Blue Bombers before joining the Roughriders in 2024 as a free agent. “With the way that you know he plays and what he can do to a team with his energy and knowing that’s on the other side from you all game, that’s a big challenge that you look forward to.
