MOON ALERT: Caution! Be careful. Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions all day today. The moon is in Virgo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Although you might be focused on work, your best bet is to relax as much as possible and focus on artistic, creative projects. After all, you are the artisan of the zodiac. (You can do anything with your hands.) This entire day is a moon alert, which is excellent for creativity and shmoozing!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

This is the perfect day to entertain at home. It’s also a good day to explore fun activities with kids, sporting events, the arts, romantic dates and a pleasant stroll outside, especially if you check out other people’s gardens. This entire day is a moon alert. Restrict spending to food and gas.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Despite a restless feeling you might have to get out and do something. Because of the placement of the moon, you will also enjoy relaxing at home and taking it easy. Romance might be very promising. (One can always hope.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Seek out siblings, relatives and neighbours, because you’re eager to share your thoughts. A short trip might appeal. Be aware there’s a moon alert all day, so restrict your spending to food and gas. Avoid important decisions. Don’t volunteer for anything.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be careful! With the sun, Mercury and Jupiter in your sign, you’re ready to set out doing exactly what you want. However, all day is a moon alert! Furthermore, the moon is in your money house. (Gulp.) Definitely restrict spending to food and gas. Make no important decisions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The moon is in your sign and for this entire day, there’s a moon alert. Be aware of this! Don’t volunteer for anything. Don’t agree to anything important. Avoid important decisions. Restrict spending to food and gas. However — have fun! Be creative! Socialize!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re popular! And because there’s a moon alert all day, it’s a wonderful day to shmooz and socialize with everyone. Just remember not to agree to anything important or make big decisions. And don’t shop! (Except for food and gas.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Travel appeals. Your ability to talk to authority figures is strong now. However, because there’s a moon alert all day, keep things light. Get information but make no decisions. Restrict spending to food and gas. Get your info and wait until tomorrow to act.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You’re high-viz. People notice you. This is fine but don’t stick your neck out by making important declarations. Avoid big decisions. Don’t volunteer for anything, because there’s a moon alert all day. Don’t shop. (Except food and gas.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You make a lovely impression on everyone. Someone might ask for your advice about how to make something more attractive. However, it is a poor day to answer important questions due to the moon alert all day. Restrict spending. Enjoy socializing and learning from others.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A friendship or a romantic interest might begin with someone “different,” because romance is favoured right now. However, you have the energy to work hard even if you face shortages and delays due to the moon alert all day.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

It’s in your best interest to be co-operative and accommodating with someone else. It’s important to know there’s a moon alert in effect all day which means avoiding spending money and making important decisions. But you can carry on “as usual” with your work.

Democrats try to stamp out school closures as omicron surges

Democrats try to stamp out school closures as omicron surges

Nicholas Riccardi And Collin Binkley, The Associated Press 7 minute read Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2022

When Chicago teachers voted to work remotely last week to protest COVID-19 safety protections in the nation’s third-largest school district, Democratic Party officials leapt into action.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker pushed for a quick end to the job action and helped secure rapid tests to entice teachers back to the classroom. Mayor Lori Lightfoot said the teachers “abandoned their posts” in “an illegal walkout.” White House press secretary Jen Psaki stressed that students should be in school. The standoff ended with a tentative agreement late Monday.

Nearly two years into a pandemic that shows no signs of waning, Democrats are speaking out more forcefully against COVID-19 school closures, recognizing a rising anger among parents worried that their kids are falling behind. But in doing so, Democrats risk angering some teachers unions, which are advocating for more protections for educators as the omicron variant takes hold and whose support helped get Democrats elected.

The political peril for Democrats became clear after their candidate lost the Virginia governor’s race in November to a Republican who focused on education and slammed the prior year’s school closures. Now, in what already promises to be a tough midterm election year, with frustrations mounting among their base over stalled voting and spending legislation, they may face real trouble over an issue that directly affects Americans' lives.

Making the right move on rail lines

Making the right move on rail lines

Editorial 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

It’s a familiar sound in Winnipeg.

(No, not sirens, which are now almost a constant.)

It’s the 3 a.m. distant and lonesome train horn, the sound of a train crew working through the night hours, the horn giving its warning at level crossings. Some Winnipeggers hear far more: when the night is still enough, they can hear the rhythmic “tap-tap, tap-tap” of rail wheels on the tracks as long trains thread through the city.

Sounds romantic, in its own way. Unless, of course, the romance is close enough to your bedroom window to wake you up.

Pallister appears determined to run on not-quite-done record

Pallister appears determined to run on not-quite-done record

Dan Lett 5 minute read Tuesday, Jun. 4, 2019

He is so going to do this.

Premier Brian Pallister wrapped up the current session of the Manitoba legislature with his most unequivocal statements to date that Manitoba will have a general election this summer. And this time, he actually provided some details about when we might expect the writ to drop.

Pallister told reporters at a news conference Tuesday that beginning in a few days, his government will begin restricting all government announcements and advertising that might contravene the 90-day communication blackout contained in the Election Finances Act. By confirming that he is effectively beginning the blackout, he is also confirming that a campaign will begin in early August for an election day sometime in early September, about a month before a federal election is scheduled.

Manitoba election campaigns run between 28 and 35 days, and the voting must be held on a Tuesday. If, for example, Pallister were to begin a blackout on Tuesday June 11, he could set an election for as early as Tuesday, Sept. 10. Although that would still be more than a full year earlier than the October 2020 date specified in law, he could claim with full justification he had honoured the spirit of the communications blackout.

Fusion pop-up coming to street food festival

Tiago Resko 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

After surviving breast cancer and watching her husband live through a brain tumour, Marilyn Magtoto decided it was time to take a chance.

Magtoto left her corporate job as a mortgage specialist in July to start M3 Cravings, a pop-up restaurant that blends the traditional Filipino cuisine she grew up on with Mexican street food.

“To me it was like, how much longer do I want to put on hold this thing I’ve been wanting to do for a while now?” Magtoto says. “People may think I’m crazy for leaving behind a corporate professional career I’ve been doing for 22 years, but you know what — it’s worth it.”

Magtoto will now have the chance to share her food at the Streat Feast Festival at The Forks to Sunday; the event brings together people from a variety of backgrounds to share their culture through food, art and performances.

Shiffrin finishes runner-up to Vlhova in comeback race

The Associated Press 4 minute read Saturday, Nov. 21, 2020

LEVI, Finland - Petra Vlhova held on to her opening-run lead to beat Mikaela Shiffrin on Saturday in a women’s World Cup slalom that was the American’s first race in nearly 10 months.

On a course set by her coach Livio Magoni, the Slovakian also posted the fastest time in the second run and extended her advantage over Shiffrin to 0.18 seconds.

“I tried to take this advantage that my coach set the course, and I did it,” Vlhova said. “It wasn’t easy, as it started snowing and also the course was a bit destroyed. But I did it and I am really happy. First victory in the first slalom of the season is always good."

Austria’s Katharina Liensberger was 0.57 behind Vlhova in third, while the rest of the field, led by Swiss racer Wendy Holdener, was at least 1.35 off the lead.
