Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I woke up and saw a vision at the end of my bed in the moonlight. It was my deceased husband, and he had his hands up and was saying to me and my new man who was sleeping in the bed: "He's not good for you. He's not the one." At first I was frightened, and then I was annoyed at the interference. I said very clearly, "Go away and never come back!" My husband was always interfering in everything I did in my life, and now he was back interfering even after his death.

Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I woke up and saw a vision at the end of my bed in the moonlight. It was my deceased husband, and he had his hands up and was saying to me and my new man who was sleeping in the bed: “He’s not good for you. He’s not the one.” At first I was frightened, and then I was annoyed at the interference. I said very clearly, “Go away and never come back!” My husband was always interfering in everything I did in my life, and now he was back interfering even after his death. 

Do you think he will stay away now I have have spoken to him like that, telling him to go away? My new man woke up and said, “Did you just tell me to go away?” I said no, and then tried to explain to him who I saw at the end of the bed. 

He knew my ex-husband before he died, and said he felt “caught” and “guilty.” He couldn’t get back to sleep, thinking my ex could come into the room and look at us in bed.

He ended up going home about 6 a.m. saying he couldn’t stay and probably wouldn’t be back. He is a very nice man, but that was the limit for him. I come from a very spiritual family and we have ESP up the yin-yang and “normal” people find it freakish. I have left him alone, and he has not called me. Should I call him? I really miss him!

— Ghost’s Widow, St. Boniface

 

Dear Ghost’s Widow: Call him, but don’t ask him to come over for a rehash of that night. Do ask if he can get past this stuff and go out to a fun place for a drink or coffee during the day. Tell him you understand if he doesn’t want any more of your family stuff in his life, but you like him as a person and have fun spending time together. Be completely open about your family and you, and how things manifest themselves to you.

He will probably continue to opt out of a big relationship, but then again he may just need a little more understanding of the situation. If he’s negative or scared, then don’t contact him again. As for the presence you felt you saw, and to whom you spoke so loudly and negatively, it’s not likely you’ll see him again, according to psychic types. Mediums usually advise people to speak to “ghosts” and tell them “It’s time to move along now!” You certainly did that, and loudly.

Citizen reports help highlight connectivity issues across southwest Manitoba

Nicole Buffie 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 10:43 AM CDT

A southwestern Manitoba man has created a map to document cell service blackout spots in an effort to push for better access in rural areas.

Mark Custance compiled more than 300 citizen reports over the last few months to document where service in southwest Manitoba is strong, spotty or doesn’t exist at all.

“I’ve heard people complain and say, ‘cell service sucks’ or ‘this is not working.’ But what does the data actually say?” Custance said from his office in Melita, where he has installed a cell-service booster to maintain connectivity with the rest of the world.

Analyzing where service is good and poor, he cross-references it with the location of cellphone towers across the region.

Sex assault charges against basketball referee stayed

Dean Pritchard 3 minute read Friday, Sep. 11, 2026

A Winnipeg basketball referee accused of sexual offences involving three men has had criminal charges against him stayed.

Michael Shane Maryk, 45, had been set to stand trial July 20 on five counts of sexual assault and two counts of committing an indecent act, but instead agreed to a one-year peace bond prohibiting him from having any contact with the three men.

Maryk was employed by the Manitoba Association of Basketball Officials at the time the offences were alleged to have occurred.

The peace bond requires that Maryk not come within 200 metres of the men’s homes, schools or places of worship and have no contact with their families.

A life's story: ‘Ivor the Driver’ found his calling in the ranching life

Aaron Epp 6 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 9:59 AM CDT

Ivor Asham’s family couldn’t have picked a better image to accompany his obituary. There he is, riding Flash, his beloved brown and white quarter horse, a black cowboy hat on his head and a drink in his hand.

Asham owned and operated Birds Hill Park Ranch for nearly 35 years, where he shared his lifelong passion for horses with thousands of visitors. He moved hay, harnessed horses and drove the wagons, introducing himself as “Ivor the Driver.”

Over the years, Asham built a reputation as the quintessential cowboy.

There’s a restaurant at the ranch filled with memorabilia that he collected over the years. Calgary Stampede posters, cowboy boot-shaped shot glasses, a child’s rocking horse, a wagon wheel and numerous photos of legendary actor John Wayne are just some of the items that line the walls.
