Keep gossip about his spring flings to a minimum at lake this summer

By: Miss Lonelyhearts Posted: 2:00 AM CDT Thursday, May. 26, 2016

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I drove up to my cottage three weeks ago steamed because a friend who lives at the lake phoned me and reluctantly told me my (second, and about to be last) husband had been going there "with company" this spring. My husband flatly denied it. At the cabin, I found female products left in the bathroom that weren't mine and condoms in the bedside table. Someone was marking territory, like an alley cat! I'm not young enough to get pregnant anymore.

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I drove up to my cottage three weeks ago steamed because a friend who lives at the lake phoned me and reluctantly told me my (second, and about to be last) husband had been going there “with company” this spring. My husband flatly denied it. At the cabin, I found female products left in the bathroom that weren’t mine and condoms in the bedside table. Someone was marking territory, like an alley cat! I’m not young enough to get pregnant anymore.

The cabin was mine before I got married to that jerk, but the problem is, for some reason I’m burning to know the details. He won’t take my calls and says I’m stalking him. I want to know how long it’s been going on and with whom or if there’s many. The next time I go up, I intend to play detective. What do you think about that?

— Needing the Whole Truth, Winnipeg

Dear Needing the Whole Truth: Asking everyone you know at the lake will make you look sad and pathetic, and hung up on your cheating husband. Go see the one woman who was courageous enough to tell you the basic truth, and ask for the whole story, with the dirty details. In a small area, word gets around. Leaving him and taking over the cottage (with changed locks) will make you look like a sensible person who doesn’t take crap. Give him all his stuff back, and that’s that.

Let him know the neighbours and the RCMP will be on the watch and you’ve changed locks — he doesn’t belong there anymore. It’s time to get a good divorce lawyer.

Jets pick up netminder as relatively new 23-man roster announced

Mike McIntyre 7 minute read Monday, Sep. 28, 2026

Let’s get the caveats out of the way: Nothing is set in stone, nor written in permanent ink, and what you see right now could change in the blink of an eye.

With that being said, allow us to introduce you to the 2026-27 Winnipeg Jets — where change is very much in the air.

The 23-man roster submitted to the NHL offices by Monday’s 4 p.m. deadline includes seven players who were not on the team at this time last year. In fact, there could be as many as 10 new faces in the opening-night lineup on Friday against Boston when you factor in three regulars didn’t start the 2025-26 campaign due to injury.

That’s a lot of turnover, which isn’t surprising for a team that finished 26th overall in the standings and was — to most fans and pundits — too old and too slow.

Obsessed stalker who shot, killed young woman at bus stop in 1993 dies behind bars at age 74

A Winnipeg man who stalked a woman for several years before shooting her dead in the street in 1993 has died in Stony Mountain prison.

On Monday, 74-year-old Ronald Edd Bell died of apparent natural causes at the federal prison just north of Winnipeg, the Correctional Service of Canada said.

Bell had been in prison since May 30, 1994, when he was given a life sentence with no chance of parole for 18 years for killing Terry-Lyn Babb, 25, on Jan. 21, 1993.

Bell walked up behind an unsuspecting Babb, who was waiting at a bus stop at Sherbrook Street and Wolseley Avenue, and shot her in the head with a pistol in front of horrified witnesses, says the Free Press report of his sentencing hearing.
