Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I can honestly say I have beautiful green eyes. I have been told so ever since I was born. They're the best part of how I look. Now, I suddenly have to wear glasses and I refuse to wear them most of the time. Not wearing them gives me headaches. Still, I lose them everywhere accidentally on purpose. I have difficulty wearing contact lenses because of my prescription. The only time I wear them for sure is for driving the car. I don't want to get in an accident, but I just hate them all the same. Please help.

Dear Googly Four Eyes: You need more glasses. You need funky ones and rimless ones you can’t even see, plus prescription sunglasses. You can try bifocal contact lenses to wear at parties. By the way, beauty experts say that your eye makeup should be brighter behind glasses, then the impact of your beautiful emerald eyes will make it through.

And don’t forget: glasses are see-through, so no matter what, people will see your eyes.

Councillor facing sex charges running for re-election

Morgan Modjeski 2 minute read 7:47 PM CDT

A Winnipeg city councillor who faces sexual assault charges says he is running for re-election.

A day before Tuesday’s deadline, Russ Wyatt registered to run in the Transcona ward where he has served five terms and to which he was first elected in 2002.

“After much reflection, I have decided to stand for re-election in the Winnipeg municipal election,” Wyatt said in a statement Monday.

“Time and time again, I have stood up to the powers that be, and they would love to get rid of me. But I see the mess this city is in today, with the disastrous new bus routes, ever rising water bills, developer largesse, and poverty in our streets,” he said.

Hard-hitting Hansen working his way back into Bombers lineup

Thiadric Hansen is a European who lives in India and plays professional football in Canada.

Forget Pitbull, if anyone deserves the moniker “Mr. Worldwide” it’s the German-born defensive lineman for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

“I love it,” Hansen told reporters after Monday’s practice at Fort Garry Lions Field. He resides in Bangalore, the capital and largest city of the southern Indian state of Karnataka, because his girlfriend works there.

“I love travelling. The year before, I lived in Thailand for the off-season so I’m just making the most out of the opportunities that I can.”

Westman businesses race to clean up from deluge

Nicole Buffie 5 minute read 6:40 PM CDT

Months after devastating flooding, businesses in western Manitoba are still rebuilding, with some racing against the clock to prepare for winter.

The Westman region was deluged by flash flooding in June and July, with several areas receiving between 100 and 150 millimetres of rain over a short period of time, causing chaos and forced evacuations. The recovery has been long — and costly.

Business owner Dan Grazier is tens of thousands of dollars in the hole for repairs to his shop in Swan River that flooded twice this summer.

His business, Grazier Custom Manufacturing Ltd., was inundated with floodwater in early June. He cleaned up the mess in the store’s front office and completed some renovations before a second deluge hit the community on Canada Day.

Adam Penner, president of Harv's Air, says in a statement that two people were aboard the Cessna 172 on a night flight from Regina to Steinbach, Man.

Penner says a search began after the aircraft did not arrive on schedule, and the plane was found along with its two occupants on Friday evening near Kisbey, southeast of Regina.

Harv's Air says it is shocked and saddened by the tragedy, and it is working with the Transportation Safety Board of Canada in determining the cause of the deaths.
