Times of transition can be tough to traverse

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My wife has really enjoyed staying home with the kids all summer, as she is a teacher and has the two months off. Last night she was tearful at bedtime because she has to go back to the classroom and “this perfect summer together is all over.”

I told her I could afford to look after us financially if she ever wanted to quit teaching and stay home, and she blew up and said, “I love to teach and our kids won’t at be home. They’ll all be at school.” Then the tears really came. Sometimes I just can’t win. What’s up with her? Please advise.

— Willing to Help, Winnipeg

Dear Willing: The same thing that’s happened to your wife, you often see with kids at this time of year — over-excitement. It’s hard on everybody when there’s too much new stuff going on and the daily schedule is totally changing from summertime.

Rare and tough to notice, sarcomas may lurk in the body

Last summer, Michelle Finley was going about a normal day.

She had just dropped her car off at a garage and was walking back to her office building downtown when, suddenly, she was stopped in her tracks by a searing cramp on the bottom of her right foot.

“It was so painful it took my breath away,” says Finley, now 52. “I stopped and held on to the side of a building for a second — like, it was bringing tears to my eyes.”

Finley thought she had a really bad case of plantar fasciitis. Nine months later she would lose her foot to sarcoma.

Recognizing the value of phys-ed for kids

Jerry Storie 6 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

The message from Premier Wab Kinew and Education Minister Tracy Schmidt last week about the importance of exercise for young people was timely and important — but it is not new.

Some 2,000 thousand years ago, Plato reportedly said, “In order to succeed in life, a person has two means: education and physical activity. Not separately, one for the soul and the other for the body, but for the two together.”

That was the message being reinforced last week by our provincial leaders.

The decision to focus on looking after our bodies as part of a healthy lifestyle, has seldom been consistently followed in education or in our daily lives. The reintroduction of daily physical education into our schools will only be meaningful if everyone, including our children, their families and schools and health-care professionals take up the challenge of making physical health a priority.

Investigators arrested two of the men, Mohamed Ali and Abdullah Khan, as they left the Stella’s on Pembina Highway in early February 2024. Two kilograms of cocaine was found in Khan’s car.
