MOON ALERT: After 3:45 a.m. today there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Sagittarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You might be interested in unusual, powerful ideas. They might be mystical and idealistic. They might even be related to improving yourself somehow. Nevertheless, be aware this is also a mildly accident-prone day for you. Pay attention to everything you say and do.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Yes, you are the financial wizard of the zodiac; right now, however, you have to be on your toes. You might be confused about something, financially speaking. You might be tempted to give away the farm. You might be deceived. Something unexpected could impact your assets. Stay awake!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You might genuinely want to help a friend because you feel sympathetic. You might also be moved by philosophical or powerful ideas. Meanwhile, someone might surprise you. Stay light on your feet.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You might have a strong desire to make improvements to your health or job. This is coming from a desire for perfection, perhaps. However, something out of the blue could be unsettling. It might make you change your mind suddenly.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a romantic day for you. You’re also in touch with your muse, which is why you can express your creative talents. Nevertheless, a friend or member of a group might throw you a curveball. Parents should also be aware this is a mildly accident-prone day for your kids. Be vigilant!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your home routine might be interrupted. A minor appliance might break down or a small outage could occur. Be aware of this. If you’re making a decision to share property or money with someone — double-check your information. Something could be off. If you suspect this, do nothing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This might be a lovely day for you to shop for wardrobe items, because your appreciation of beauty is heightened. Nevertheless, it’s also a mildly accident-prone day for you, so pay attention and keep your eyes open. A romantic connection might be powerful.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Keep an eye on your money and possessions, because an element of confusion is present. You might feel generous and then later regret it. You might be confused or even deceived about finances. Something unexpected could impact your assets through loss, theft or damage. Be alert! (The world needs more lerts.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The moon is in your sign dancing with Pluto, Neptune and Uranus. This is a tricky combination! Your idealism is aroused and you might feel sympathetic to children and romantic partners.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might be happiest being low-key and working alone or behind the scenes. You’ll feel reassured. Nevertheless, keep an eye on your money and possessions. Be realistic when dealing with a family member. Pet owners should be vigilant because this could be an accident-prone day for your animal.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Friendships are important to you. You might idealize a friend or want to help them in some way. Stay steady, because something out of left field could impact a friendship. It might relate to romance or children. Or you might meet a real character?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

People notice you. They might admire you or they might even attribute qualities to you that you don’t think you possess. (Don’t worry about this.) However, something unexpected related to home and family might surprise you. Steady as she goes.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Amy Adams (1974) shares your birthday. You’re sensible and have an analytical, problem-solving mind. You’re friendly; but you need time alone. This is a slower-paced year. Take time to rejuvenate your energies and your outlook. Focus on business and personal relationships, especially with people who are kind, helpful and have your back.

The Sioux Falls Canaries had a taste for fish as the club beat the Winnipeg Goldeyes in this week’s series.

Despite being on the road, the Winnipeg Goldeyes (45-37) started off the series with a strong win on Tuesday night. They soloed the scoreboard into the fourth inning with a 7-0 sweep until the Canaries (43-41) snuck in two runs in the bottom. Peyton Holt, Adam Hall, Ramón Bramasco, and Noah Marcelo had four runs in the top of that inning.

Even though Sioux Falls were able to slowly make their way up to six runs, catcher/infielder Marcelo secured their lead hitting two homers driving in two runs during the game.

Pitcher Landen Bourassa held the mound the majority of the innings, striking out seven, with relief pitchers Sage Ferguson and Derrick Cherry guarding the lead to give the Fish the 9-6 win.

Wait times for MRIs getting worse in Brandon, Dauphin

Rylee Gerrard 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

BRANDON — Wait times for MRI scans have surged in the Prairie Mountain Health region during the last two years.

Despite a campaign promise by the NDP in September 2023 to increase the number of allied health professionals capable of administering diagnostic imaging in northern and rural areas, wait times for MRIs have increased dramatically in Brandon and Dauphin.

Median imaging wait times tripled at Dauphin Regional Health Centre between 2024 and 2026, increasing from eight to 24 weeks, according to the province’s wait time dashboard.

The Brandon Regional Health Centre median wait times for MRI scans more than doubled during the same period, from nine to 23 weeks.

Some customers in downtown Winnipeg are experiencing a Bell MTS service interruption after telecommunications infrastructure was damaged Tuesday.

Bell MTS said on social media that a third-party construction crew accidentally cut a copper cable, causing the outage.

Contractors drilled through multiple underground ducts, causing significant damage to several cables and requiring extensive repairs.

A small number of buildings, mainly concentrated on Fort Street, Garry Street and York Avenue, may be experiencing landline or internet issues because of the damage, said Bell spokesperson Elise von Scheel.

Communist smooch lingers on in German capital

Steve MacNaull 5 minute read Saturday, May. 2, 2026

What a lip-lock it is.

A smooch that inspired a famous mural and is replicated on every souvenir possible from posters, postcards and mugs to keychains, tea towels and t-shirts.

It’s a reminder of communism, but also a symbol of freedom and even LGBTTQ+ inclusivity.

It’s the My God, Help Me to Survive This Deadly Love mural on the East Side Gallery of the Berlin Wall by Russian painter Dmitri Vrubel. (It’s sometimes also referred to as Fraternal Kiss.)
