MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions after 9 p.m. today. The moon is in Scorpio.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Although mild quarrels might arise about how to share the expense of something — don’t let this rankle you. Instead focus on socializing, the arts, sports and fun activities with kids. This is a great day to shmooz!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Tread carefully when talking to family members, spouses, partners and close friends, because things are tense. Furthermore, Mars in your house of communications makes you more aggressive. Pull in your reins a bit. Keep things light.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

There are two options available to you, which is quite appropriate for a Gemini (the twins). You can get caught up in squabbles with siblings, relatives, neighbours and work colleagues; or you can play hooky and have fun doing whatever you want. (No-brainer.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Romantic partners must be patient with each other. Likewise, parents must be patient with their kids. Meanwhile, it’s the perfect day to redecorate and tweak your digs. You might even entertain. Get some physical exercise. (Even dancing for three minutes.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

The sun, Mercury and Jupiter are in your sign; however, the moon is at odds with the sun triggering domestic arguments and tension with people at home. Fortunately, fair Venus in your house of communications will smooth your words. Dish out the sweetness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Something going on behind the scenes might make you feel disgruntled. This mood might affect how you speak to others. Not good. Instead, throw your energy into interacting with friends, groups and organizations. You might also buy something beautiful.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This continues to be a great time for you to buy wardrobe items, which is not a bad idea because you like to present well. Did you know the sign of Libra has domain over haute couture? This is why you always look good. Avoid money squabbles. Use your energy to work.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The moon is in your sign at odds with the sun — right at the top of your chart. This means you should avoid quarrels and power struggles with bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police. Instead dabble in secret love affairs or explore avenues in travel, medicine, the law and publishing. Stay out of trouble.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Steer clear of controversial subjects, because they will irk you. (Naturally, you have opinions.) Instead, decide to have fun with a friend or group. Explore new ideas and try to learn something novel. It’s also a passionate day. Hmmm.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Avoid squabbles with a friend. Likewise, don’t get caught up fighting with a member of a group, because what’s the point? The day is challenging, because even partners and close friends might annoy you. Instead, focus on goals, career and chalking up some brownie points with bosses, parents and authority figures.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

There’s a high probability you might have a public argument with someone; in fact, you might be at odds with a boss, parent, teacher, VIP or the police. This is not a good idea. The upside is not favourable. Your best option is to work hard and get organized. That’s a winning choice.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Don’t get bogged down in arguments about politics, religion or racial issues, which is easy to do! Instead, focus on socializing with others, exploring sports, enjoying playful times with kids and expressing your creative talents. Great choice.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Fashion designer Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel (1883-1971) shares your birthday. You’re dynamic, focused and organized. You present a serious face to the world and have a desire to change society. This is a year of new beginnings, adventures and major changes. Grab new opportunities and be ready to act. What you do now will bring great benefits in the future.

Housing the homeless safely, for all

Housing the homeless safely, for all

Editorial 4 minute read Friday, May. 8, 2026

It’s clear that finding homes for the homeless is not as simple as saying, “Here’s a homeless person, here’s a vacant apartment, match the two of them up and voila! One less person who is homeless.”

Why?

Because the reasons a person finds themselves on the streets can be the result of long-lasting trauma or mental health issues, and even the effects of homelessness on individuals can build its own issues.

That means the process of getting someone off the streets can be extremely involved — simply finding a home is not a magic solution all on its own.

Elevate things between you by breaking ice

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I work in a high rise downtown and every day I come to work at the same time. I often ride the elevator up with this new guy working a few floors under me. I always feel a little disappointed when he has to get off, and I continue up into the sky.

I’ve worked my way up to speaking pleasantries about the weather, and he responds with cute remarks about the clouds. The good news? He’s not wearing a ring. I also found out his first name from hearing other people say hello to him. Now what?

— Feeling Frustrated! Downtown

Dear Frustrated: Next time you’re on the elevator ride together, say “Hi! My name is such-and-such and I work at such-and-such. Where do you work up here in the clouds?” That should make him smile and break the ice. Then you could consider asking if he might like to join you for a coffee on a work break, if you can co-ordinate it.

Al Simmons releasing his Barber of Seville adaptation

Al Simmons needs an audience. To the beloved Manitoban children’s entertainer, butts in seats are almost as crucial as well-placed puns. Many performers make themselves the centre of attention or the ultimate decision-maker, but what’s made Simmons an icon for over 50 years is that he does precisely the opposite: he lets the audience participate, inviting five-year-olds to sing with him, heckle him, and sometimes, stage bomb him.

“In front of an audience, they become my directors. That’s what I’ve done my whole career: I hear when they laugh, and I hear where they don’t,” says Simmons, now 72. “I instruct the audience at the beginning that I expect them to yell things at me, to laugh at me, to have fun. I encourage hecklers. It just makes everybody remember: Hey, I’m watching a live performance.”

Take an archival clip from 1980. At Assiniboine Park, the Human Jukebox stands tall and attracts a dense crowd, wondering who or what is inside. A coin is dropped into a Rube Goldbergian slot, rolling through a tube. The audience is quiet, until a hand pops through to catch it. A child screams, a bell dings, and out pops Simmons. “Now for this tune, I’m going to use a very special horn,” he says. “The noise of this horn comes out of your mouths. When I squeeze it, you all go, ‘HONK.’” They oblige.

There’s real artistry at play when Simmons performs live, which is why the last 12 months have been such a strange, inexplicable era in his life. 2020 was supposed to be the busiest year of his career, but it came screeching to a halt with the pandemic, right after a run of his one-man production of Rossini’s opera The Barber of Seville wrapped up in Manitoba schools. (He developed the show with Manitoba Opera in 2009, and has toured it for the organization since).

Manitoba’s liquor regulator has accused an Exchange District nightclub of exceeding its occupant capacity limit and hindering the work of inspectors.

Diablo, located at Main Street and Bannatyne Avenue, is scheduled to appeal two compliance orders, issued by the Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority of Manitoba, at a Sept. 8 hearing.

An LGCA spokesperson said the compliance orders are part of an ongoing investigation.

The spokesperson said one of the orders was issued after the licensed club was over capacity April 26.

Kinew pledges temporary ER in Dauphin by Labour Day

Free Press staff 2 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

Dauphin’s 8,400 residents, ravaged by floodwaters from unprecedented rainfall in June that has left the city without its hospital for the entire summer, will have a temporary but functioning ER shortly, Premier Wab Kinew promised Monday.

“We’ve heard you loud and clear Dauphin,” Kinew said in a post on X on Monday. “You need these services close to home, you’ll have an emergency department working by Labour Day.”

Dauphin Mayor David Bosiak was elated after hearing the news. “We’re tickled in town,” Bosiak said, adding he has faith the premier will deliver.

Kinew is expected to provide further details Tuesday.
