Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I have a harem of beautiful women I can’t get to, because of COVID-19. OK, it’s only three casual ladies, but affection and sex are part of the situation. I’m not much use if we all need to keep from seeing each other in person.

Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I have a harem of beautiful women I can’t get to, because of COVID-19. OK, it’s only three casual ladies, but affection and sex are part of the situation. I’m not much use if we all need to keep from seeing each other in person.

One lady suggested phone sex. I’m no poet; I’m much better in action. Last night one of my ladies called me at 1 a.m. saying she was lonely and needed loving, and when I reminded her I’m hopeless at phone sex, she said, “Then I’ll do the talking.”

Man, could she talk! I’m hooked. I just want to tell guys: there’s nothing like a woman’s voice doing the talking. There’s nothing like a well-read lady with a great vocabulary! You’ll love it. That’s all I’ve got to say. — Lady’s Got It Goin’, Fort Richmond

Dear Got It Goin’: Congratulations to you on finding a way to stay sexually safe and happy, even with more than one partner. Maybe you can learn something from this lady friend, so that one day soon you can reciprocate.

 

 

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I met a man at a sidewalk café who came over to where I was sitting under my umbrella, reading and drinking wine. He started leaning over the railing and getting in my face. I asked him to please move back to two metres — or to shove off. He was drunk and said, “Aw, pretty lady, you don’t mean that!”

He kept on getting in my face and there was no server in sight, so I tried to whack him with the menu. Just then the restaurant owner came to my rescue, and sent him packing. I realized a few minutes later I could have gotten his germs on my menu by hitting him.

Can a woman not go out safely alone anymore? What can I do with guys like this? I’m going stir crazy in the house, especially on weekends, and my girlfriends are too affectionate when they get drinking and always move in closer and closer to talk and laugh. — Leave Me Alone When I’m Out, Winnipeg

Dear Leave Me Alone: Well, that’s certainly a clear message — you want to be out in public, but not have to be forcing people to back off.

Here’s a suggestion: When possible, sit away from any fence or railing, restaurant aisle or street sidewalk. That way, people can’t get at you, and those lucky enough to be seated inside these days are not supposed to be standing around and shmoozing.

Plus, go out to an outdoor café while the sun is still up for an hour, in order to read. Then head off. You’ll avoid the people who have been drinking, and don’t seem to care about rules anymore.

 

 

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My new wife and I recently bought a cabin and want to spend time out there. But we have a problem. Fishing pals are phoning to try book “a few days” with us there.

One buddy was considerate enough to tell me, “It doesn’t have to be a weekend. There’s always fish!” Ha! I don’t want him and his fishing rod and beer cases up here, even for one day or night.

I’m not a close friend of his, but he sees the possibility of a free night and a day of fishing on my boat. Not happening! My wife can’t stand this guy whose language is pretty vulgar.

What should I tell him and other old buddies? — Freeloading Blues, Cabin Country

 

Dear Blues: Blame the need for privacy on your wonderful new wife. She won’t mind. Tell your freeloading buddy and pals she’s not having company up there this year, and maybe never, if both of you enjoy the, er, privacy situation. Let the buddies snort; they’re just jealous.

The guy who just asked may comment that you’re “whipped,” or something equally delightful, but you can laugh and say, “I love my new wife and intend to keep her. Buy your own cabin and I’ll come fish with you!”

He won’t know what to do with that statement, but he’ll know he can’t come for a fishing holiday at your cabin this year — or maybe ever.

‘Disrespectful’: residents frustrated after Wyatt arrives hour late to committee meeting

Joyanne Pursaga 3 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 1:00 PM CDT

Several Winnipeggers attending a city development hearing on Thursday expressed frustration that one councillor arrived about an hour late, delaying the matter from being heard.

Coun. Russ Wyatt, who continues to attend city hall while facing criminal charges, began participating in the 9:30 a.m. East Kildonan-Transcona community committee meeting at 10:35 a.m.

A resident who hoped to speak at the meeting about a development plan in south Transcona noted the tardiness led the committee to bump the topic down on its agenda, while dozens waited to speak on it.

Christina Pyra eventually opted to leave city hall instead of waiting for her turn to make a presentation, to avoid missing a work commitment.

Wyatt vows to ‘absolutely’ continue serving as city councillor despite latest sex-crime charges

Joyanne Pursaga 5 minute read Thursday, Aug. 13, 2026

Transcona Coun. Russ Wyatt vowed Thursday to continue doing his job after more criminal charges were laid against him this week, while the mayor called for “better tools” to address elected officials who face serious allegations.

Wyatt, 56, was charged Monday with sexual assault and administering a noxious substance in an October 2023 incident. He was previously charged with sexual assault and administering a noxious substance in March, based on allegations tied to a 2025 gathering.

On Thursday, Wyatt arrived at city hall and quickly walked to his office at 10:20 a.m., nearly an hour after the East Kildonan-Transcona community committee meeting he planned to attend was scheduled to begin.

He answered few questions from reporters.

Proposed Transcona development — which could add 20,000 people — gets thumbs down from residents

Proposed Transcona development — which could add 20,000 people — gets thumbs down from residents

Joyanne Pursaga 5 minute read Yesterday at 6:15 PM CDT

Dozens of Winnipeggers fear plans to make way for up to 20,000 more people to live in south Transcona would dramatically alter their neighbourhood and tie hefty fees for new services to their property titles.

If city council adopts the proposed South Transcona secondary plan, all future development applications would need to conform to its goals. The affected area is located south of Dugald Road, north of St. Boniface Road, east of Plessis Road and west of Murdock Road.

Homeowner Virginia Page Jähne fears the plan could add a massive tab to the title of her 4.3-acre property to cover services required for the development.

“My main concern is that they are wanting to put $1.4 million onto my title to pay for this. Now, they say that I will not have to pay it unless I subdivide. But if a person comes by and wants to buy from me … and they see that $1.4 million … what’s the first thing (they’re) going to do?” said Page Jähne, in an interview.

Sea Bears staff a who’s who of hustlers in the hoops community

Joshua Frey-Sam 7 minute read Yesterday at 6:09 PM CDT

Ilarion Bonhomme was admittedly surprised when he got the call.

Not because he wasn’t confident in his ability to take the next step, but because he knew there were so many other qualified options.

On the other side of the line was newly minted Winnipeg Sea Bears head coach Mike Raimbault, offering the young coach a spot on his staff for this summer and Bonhomme a full-time opportunity to work with professionals.

“Surprised me, yes, because obviously he’s got such a huge coaching network and he had so much conversation with so many coaches,” Bonhomme said. “For him to kind of pick me to be part of it, yeah, I was surprised and, like I said, super excited.”

Rainbow Stage’s Legally Blonde a lovely legal musical

Holly Harris 5 minute read Yesterday at 5:44 PM CDT

Omigod, you guys! Rainbow Stage kicked off its penultimate summer production Thursday with a high-octane joy machine bathed in a sea of pink.

Inspired by the 2001 Hollywood film starring Reese Witherspoon, and Amanda Brown’s same-titled novel, the award-winning Legally Blonde: The Musical — featuring a book by Heather Hach, with music/lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin — opened on Broadway in April 2007, followed by a subsequent West End run.

The tale — equal parts cheesy rom-com and potent siren call for female autonomy and empowerment — focuses on quintessential Cali-girl Elle Woods (a pitch-perfect Claire Mac Master). A proud daughter and president of Delta Nu sorority house, she enrols at Harvard Law School to win back her upwardly mobile ex-boyfriend, Warner Huntington III (Duncan Cox).

Laser-focused on marrying a “Jackie, not a Marilyn,” Warner dreams of becoming an American senator, latching onto uber-preppy fellow pupil Vivienne Kensington (Julie Davis), who becomes Elle’s arch nemesis.
