MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions after 5:45 a.m. The moon is in Virgo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is an excellent day to make plans about your domestic needs as well as social occasions, vacations and matters related to kids. You can accomplish a lot at work because you have the mental energy to get things done. This is a work-hard/party-hard day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You’ve been focused on home, family and real estate, but now it’s the perfect day to goof off and have fun. Sports, fun outings, playful activities with kids and romance are beautifully favoured. Some of you might be involved in a work-related flirtation or budding love affair.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is a fast-paced week. You might need a breather. Put yourself first. Set aside some time to relax and put things in perspective. However, romance-related discussions and flirtations will take place for many of you. It’s a great day to shmooz.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

With Mars still in your sign, you have lots of energy and drive. Furthermore, Mercury in your money house could trigger moneymaking ideas or attractive purchases, especially beautiful things such as clothing, jewelry and art.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a marvellous day to give a lecture, talk or shmooz with others because Mercury is in your sign dancing with fair Venus, which is sweetens your words and makes you entertaining, charming and diplomatic. Keep an eye on your money and possessions and be alert for something unexpected.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a restless day for you. Nevertheless, your ruler Mercury is dancing beautifully with fair Venus and the moon in your sign is energized by Mars. Having said this, be on the lookout for surprise dealings with authority figures — bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is an excellent day to make choices, especially about your romantic life. You might hang out with younger people. It’s certainly a popular day for you. You’re also ambitious to achieve something. (Good day to shop for wardrobe treasures.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You continue to make a great impression on everyone this week because the sun, Mercury and Jupiter are all at the top of your chart. Quite likely, people will ask for your advice or assistance with something. Interactions with groups and friends will be energized — perhaps competitive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You’re high-viz and people can see you mean business. In fact, this puts you in a good position to direct the affairs of others and make decisions. It’s also a great day to study, make travel plans and explore avenues in publishing, the media, medicine or the law.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Do something different because you feel the need for adventure. Shake things up a little. Travel plans will appeal. In fact, a lively discussion with a friend, spouse or partner might generate adventurous ideas. You might raise money or get a loan.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Enjoy conversations with members of the general public as well as spouses, partners and close friends. Travel plans and political ideas might appeal. Banking and shared property could yield unusual ideas or surprises. Remember to get more rest.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be accommodating with others because they will be grateful. It’s a great day to socialize. Flirtations will appeal. In fact, new love or discussions about romance are highly likely. Something unexpected might interrupt your home routine.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor John Slattery (1962) shares your birthday. You’re original, practical and innovative. You have revolutionary ideas about society and you’re fuelled by your desire to benefit others. This is a year of work and construction. You will build foundations externally and internally. Take charge of your health. Simplicity is key. Stay grounded and levelheaded.

Province giving seniors $200 for pandemic expenses; others need help too, critics say

A $200 cheque will soon be in the mail to all Manitoba seniors — whether they need it or not — to deal with additional costs associated with the pandemic.

"Seniors built this province," Premier Brian Pallister said Tuesday at a teleconference announcing the $45-million Seniors Economic Recovery Credit going to an estimated 225,000 Manitobans age 65 and older, regardless of income.

"We owe them a debt of gratitude for making Manitoba a wonderful place."

But if Manitoba is going to remain a wonderful place after the pandemic, the province should be targeting help towards those most in need, critics say. Just 14 per cent of Manitoba seniors who will be receiving a $200 cheque this month live below the poverty line, according to Statistics Canada's market basket measure, which determines the official poverty line. According to 2016 Census data from Manitoba, it's $18,272 for a single person in Winnipeg.

You’re not alone on journey of self-discovery

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I am bisexual. I was in love with another woman for half the summer, and now I’m not. How can that be? I thought she was perfect for me, and now a great guy has come along, and I’m in love with him.

I don’t mean to sound weird, but that’s how my crazy feelings are. I’m 17 now and in Grade 12 this fall. Maybe I’ll be totally different when I’m older. My parents just shake their heads and smile — they are no help at all. They are open-minded people, but they don’t totally get me, and they don’t seem to worry about it. I’m a weirdo with a new idea about who I should be every month.

My grandma, an old hippie, says she loves me the way I am, and with all my changes. The problem is I just don’t “get” me either, and I can’t talk to anybody else about me. She says it will “all come clear” in the end, but I’m not so sure about that.

Witnessing stabbing death of husband led woman to take own life, family tells court

Dean Pritchard 6 minute read Wednesday, May. 18, 2022

Alvin Nelson will never be charged in Vanessa Chartrand’s death, but just as surely as he killed her husband with a stab wound to the heart, he claimed her life, too, her grieving father told a Winnipeg court.

Thirty-year-old Russel Clarence Gibeault died March 12, 2021, after he was stabbed 14 times inside his Agnes Street home. Two months later, Chartrand, who cradled Gibeault in her arms as his life ebbed away, hanged herself under a basement stairwell.

Nelson, 35, pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced earlier this month to 18 years in prison.

In a lengthy victim impact statement provided to court, Wally Chartrand gave voice to his family’s loss and his daughter’s overwhelming pain.

Toddlers drown in northern First Nation lake

Free Press staff 3 minute read Updated: 5:33 PM CDT

Two drowned toddlers were pulled from a lake Wednesday at Garden Hill Anisininew Nation.

Island Lake RCMP received a report at 1:45 p.m. that two boys had been rushed to the First Nation’s nursing station after a possible drowning, Mounties said in a news release Thursday.

Officers were told the boys, ages one and two, had been found in the lake by a family member and taken to the nursing station by the First Nation’s safety officers.

Police said it’s believed the boys managed to leave their home, entered the nearby lake and drowned.
