ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Financial speculation might be rewarding. Meanwhile, expect surprise invitations to socialize. You might also suddenly decide about a vacation or a future sporting event. Relations with kids will be spontaneous and fun.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Avoid power struggles with partners, spouses and close friends. Nevertheless, something favourable or financially attractive might benefit your family. You might buy something for your home. You might receive a gift. Or your family might have a new addition.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Spontaneous short trips and chances to meet new faces and see new places will please you. Work-related discussions might be challenging. Steer clear of controversial subjects like politics and religion because they could turn nasty. Stay chill.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

This is a financially fortuitous day for you. You might suddenly make more money or get a bit richer for some reason. If you have a chance to pursue a new job offer or ask for a raise — do it. Be patient with your kids and likewise, be patient with romantic partners to avoid arguments.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

An encounter with a friend or a member of a group might surprise you, because it turns out to be something other than you expected. It might broaden your horizons in some way or extend your connections. Perhaps you will meet a new friend. Be patient at home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Avoid arguments with daily contacts, siblings and relatives, especially if you are trying hard to make a point or convince others to agree with you. Give it up. Instead, focus on some inner realizations that might occur — perhaps an epiphany. Listen to your inner world.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

A friendship might delight you. Or perhaps, you’ll become involved with an organization or club in a new way. Whatever happens will be unexpected and sudden. Avoid disagreements about money and possessions. Be smart.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might give in to impulsive or compulsive behaviour. You might also encounter an emotional power struggle with someone — perhaps because someone is reacting to something that suddenly makes you look good. Something unexpected favours you. There might be jealousy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Unexpected opportunities to travel might fall into your lap. If so, act quickly, because this window of opportunity will be brief. Likewise, a chance to explore something in publishing, medicine, the law or higher education might also appear out of nowhere. Act fast.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Avoid money squabbles or arguments about possessions. Instead, keep your eyes open because you might benefit in practical or financial ways through the wealth and resources of someone else. Or you might get money back from the government. Could be anything

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You’re high-viz, which is why it’s in your best interest not to have a public argument. Why end up with egg on your face? Instead, focus on partnerships and close relationships because something unexpected will delight you. Be open to whatever happens.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Steer clear of controversial subjects, because they could become emotionally charged. This is a great day to improve your health or job. Your chance to do so will have a very brief window, so if something arises, be prepared to act fast. Something pet-related might also delight you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor-comedian Robin Williams (1951-2014) shares your birthday. You are both extroverted and introverted. You’re curious, determined and an independent thinker. You have an extraordinary understanding of human nature. This is a slower-paced year. It’s OK to rest and rejuvenate your energy. Focus on relationships with those who are kind, helpful and have your back.

National Newspaper Week recognizes efforts of the journalists keeping small-town papers alive

On the evening of Oct. 14, 2007, the Cartwright Community Centre arena burned to the ground.

Fondly referred to as the Clipperdome, it was a communal space in the small Manitoba town of Cartwright, about 180 kilometers southwest of Winnipeg. It was especially lively in the winter, when the hockey arena was a busy hub for locals to connect, many of whom were members or knew members of the Cartwright Clippers senior hockey team.

“Sorrow” was the word Vicki Wallace — the editor, publisher and sole reporter of Cartwright weekly newspaper the Southern Manitoba Review — used when describing the fire and the community’s response.

“I’ll tell you right now, you made me cry,” she told a Free Press reporter when recalling the time.

Gillingham promises city will pay for volunteers’ criminal record checks if re-elected

Malak Abas 3 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 5:19 PM CDT

Scott Gillingham’s first promise of his re-election campaign is a commitment to cover the cost of criminal record checks for Winnipeg volunteers.

The mayor said the $65 charge is the highest for volunteers of major cities in Canada.

About 6,500 Winnipeggers obtain criminal record checks for volunteer purposes every year. Fees are collected by the Winnipeg Police Service. Gillingham said taxpayers would cover the lost revenue to the police service. The city would set up a voucher program that would allow organizations to offer free record checks to volunteers.

“Some pay those fees themselves, and in many cases, it’s the community organizations who cover the costs on their behalf,” Gillingham said Friday at the Sturgeon Heights Community Centre.

The Winnipeg International Jazz Festival prides itself on being a downtown event with Old Market Square serving as its hub for six days of free concerts and headlining acts filling venues such as the Burton Cummings Theatre and the Centennial Concert Hall.

But this year, the festival is expanding its boundaries by collaborating with RAW:Gallery to create RAW:JazzFest, a pop-up venue just outside of the downtown borders in St. Boniface at Parc Elzéar Goulet on Taché Avenue overlooking the Red River.  

"It felt like a unique opportunity to create a concert experience for Winnipeggers that they haven’t had before, and to also kind of be part of making a cool building. There’s unique value in that," says jazz fest artistic director Mike Falk.

"We love having music in small spaces; I think that when people are crushed together a bit more their kinetic energy bounces around and makes for good shows, so I think with this project it’s definitely designed to both animate the space and animate the people, and have some fun, as well."

Prairie opportunists are knocking and prime minister should answer the door

In preparation for Halloween, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe have spent an inordinate amount of time rattling their chains and howling like indignant spirits about the raw deal they are getting from the rest of the country.

In the wake of a federal election in which the governing Liberals failed to elect a MP in either province, Kenney and Moe are summoning apocalyptic visions of secession. We've heard a lot of that before but Western separatists, inspired by the Alberta and Saskatchewan first ministers, are warning everyone that this time it's serious.

Now, before anyone gets too spooked, it's important to remember that a good politician is — first and foremost — an opportunist. These are the folks with the pure political instinct to recognize a moment in which they can gain the upper hand and then seize on it like a ravenous dog on a bone. Imagine that, and you'll have a pretty clear picture of what Kenney and Moe are up to.

In short, the two premiers want two big-ticket items from Ottawa.

Winnipeggers were keen to buy legalized cannabis Wednesday online and in line.

Cannabis prohibition in Canada ended as of Wednesday morning, but the stigma around using marijuana persisted for many people lined up outside Winnipeg's new, legal cannabis stores on a brisk, clear day.

Shoppers of all ages tended to be shy about giving their names to inquiring reporters. But when the doors finally opened, those Manitobans ran the gauntlet of cameras for their first chance to buy weed without breaking the law.

Here's what happened on Wednesday at four legal cannabis outlets across the city.

17 children, adult rushed to hospital after elevated platform collapses on school field trip

Almost 30 people, mostly children, were assessed for injuries after an elevated platform collapsed during a school field trip at Fort Gibraltar in St. Boniface Wednesday morning.

Seventeen kids and one adult were taken to the Health Sciences Centre campus, which declared a “code orange” — a disaster occurring outside the hospital — after a group from St. John’s-Ravenscourt School fell from a height of between four and six metres at about 10 a.m., according to emergency officials.

“It could have been so, so much worse. We were prepared for the worst,” Dr. Karen Gripp, medical director of Children’s Hospital’s emergency department, told a news conference outside the facility.

Three children were in unstable condition, while the rest of the patients were stable when they were taken from the scene, said Jay Shaw, an assistant chief with the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service.
