MOON ALERT: Caution! Avoid shopping (except food and gas) or important decisions all day today until 10 p.m. After that, the moon moves from Pisces into Aries.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You feel a strong need to relate to others. This is because your emotions are heightened as the moon is in your sign. It’s tricky because you can be emotionally giving and emotionally demanding.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You might be tempted to withdraw from the demands of people and duties around you because you want to avoid something. Probably, you don’t feel like socializing. You might want to explore the mystical side of your world? (You need some privacy.)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Your contact with friends and members of groups is important. This is why you might feel more protective and supportive to someone. You might even feel a bit jealous if this person pays more attention to someone else?

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You’re high-viz, which means people notice you more than usual. Keep this in mind in case you’re tempted to have a public argument with a loved one. (Hissing in loud whispers in an elevator?) Be aware that people seem to know details about your private life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You want to shake things up, because basically, you want some adventure! You need a change of scenery. Therefore, change your daily routine. Go someplace you’ve never been before. This could be a minor thing, but at least it’s fresh and new! This is what you hunger for.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Because your emotional experiences are more intense than usual, this might be reflected in your emotional encounters with others? Perhaps it’s because you feel possessive about something, or it could be related to memories from your past? You might want something someone else has.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your attention will likely turn to your most personal relationships because you feel the need to express your feelings. Because of this, if you have conflict with a spouse, partner or close friend — it will be more emotional. Guard against knee-jerk reactions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might have to put your own emotional considerations second to those of someone else. Don’t worry; you’re not being a martyr. This is just what’s happening. Meanwhile, take a moment to focus on your health and what you might do to improve it. Ideas?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a lovely day for romance, socializing, enjoying a vacation and expanding your world through the theatre, movies and the entertainment world. You might also feel protective and nurturing to children or a romantic partner.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is the perfect day to retire by yourself somewhere and enjoy your own privacy. Make an effort to do this, even if for only a short time. Relax. Take some food that is a guilty pleasure. Read a book, watch TV, indulge yourself — because you need it. Give yourself a mental-health break.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You feel a strong need to talk to others because you have something you want to say. The key is you have to find someone who is willing to listen to you — genuinely and sincerely. (In other words, you don’t want to simply chat to someone about something inconsequential.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

It’s easy to identify with your possessions, which is why you might feel more possessive about something than usual? For example, perhaps you don’t want to lend something to someone? Check the moon alert before spending money. Definitely.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Ingrid Bergman (1915-1982) shares your birthday. You’re clever, independent, wise and often romantically involved with someone. You are always inquisitive. This is a slower-paced year. Take time to rejuvenate your energy and your outlook. Focus on business and personal relationships, and make sure you hang out with people who are kind, helpful and have your back.

Council candidates call out vandalism after campaign signs defaced in Waverley West

Scott Billeck 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 3:15 PM CDT

A council candidate in Waverley West said she will not be intimidated after 16 of her campaign signs were vandalized this week — some with apparent gang symbols.

Nafiya Naso is the second candidate in the ward whose signs were defaced this month. Jasmine Brar, who is also running for the council seat, had some of her signs broken on Friday along Kenaston Boulevard and signs near Naso’s that were also defaced on Saturday.

Earlier this month, Eaglewood Park in the nearby Prairie Pointe neighbourhood was also vandalized with graffiti that included homophobic slurs, anti-India messages and repeated references to “3LK” — a symbol Naso believes is associated with a gang.

Naso’s signs, located along Waverley Street near Tim Sale Drive and across from École South Pointe School in southwest Winnipeg, were spray-painted with apparent gang signs, crude drawings and other messages, including “loser” and “Ur not winning” written across her name and photograph.

Judy Blume’s life and writerly output for readers of all ages explored in hefty biography

Reviewed by Bev Sandell Greenberg 4 minute read Saturday, May. 9, 2026

Readers who grew up in the 1970s and ’80s will remember Judy Blume as the acclaimed American children’s author whose fiction offered a frank approach to taboo subjects such as menstruation, divorce, wet dreams and teenage sex. Blume’s books not only changed the face of middle-grade and teen literature, they also sold more than 90 million copies in 32 languages in the past five decades. Now 88, Blume is the subject of Mark Oppenheimer’s thought-provoking, well-researched biography.

A longtime Blume aficionado, Oppenheimer previously wrote five non-fiction books. He has a PhD from Yale in religious studies and lives in Connecticut.

Oppenheimer’s succinct, lucid narrative consists of 31 chapters. The opening pages deal with Blume’s early life. Born Judith Maria Sussman in 1938, she grew up in a Jewish middle-class family in Elizabeth, N.J., moving with her family to Miami for two years because of her older brother’s illness before returning to New Jersey.

The next several chapters follow Blume’s first marriage in 1959, at age 21, through motherhood in 1961 and her early stabs at finding her creative footing. After a few false starts in drawing, felt art and songwriting, she finally took a night course in children’s writing in 1967 — and then, for two years, collected rejection slips.

Province urges federal government to continue vital health-care funding

Carol Sanders 4 minute read Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025

Manitoba wants the federal government to renew an annual $150-million health-care agreement that, for the last three years, has helped the province go “further, faster” to staff up the front lines.

“The loss of these agreements would mean that we’re losing predictable targeted federal contributions that have helped us stabilize staffing and strengthen health care — not just health care in our hospitals, but community-based care as well,” Health Minister Uzoma Asagwara said Friday.

The program, dubbed “Working Together to Improve Health Care for Canadians,” was announced in February 2023; the federal government has earmarked close to $150 million a year in 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26. Tuesday’s federal budget made no mention of renewing those funding agreements.

“I think there was an opportunity missed today to signal that the bilateral funding agreements for your health care are going to continue,” Premier Wab Kinew noted in his response to the budget on Tuesday. One of the deals Manitoba signed is set to expire at the end of March.

Winnipeg police ID deceased man, notify family

Free Press staff 2 minute read 11:26 AM CDT

Winnipeg police have been able to notify next-of-kin about the death of a man found unresponsive on a city street in July.

The man was identified after police asked for the public’s help and issued a composite sketch and description of the unknown man on Friday.

On Sunday, police said his family has been notified and thanked the public. Additional details about the man were not released in order to respect the family’s privacy, police said.

The man died in hospital after being found unresponsive July 28 at the corner of Main Street and James Avenue in Winnipeg, and investigators’ previous efforts to identify him were unsuccessful.

Foreign workers at Manitoba hotel are owed $138K in unpaid wages and fees, labour board rules

Abiola Odutola 4 minute read 11:47 AM CDT

BRANDON — The Manitoba Labour Board has ordered the Western Star All Suites Hotel to pay nearly $138,000 in unpaid wages and administrative fees after it dismissed the appeals involving three foreign workers employed by the company.

In a decision dated Aug. 25, the board ordered 6692452 Manitoba Ltd. (doing business as Western Star All Suites Hotel), 1638185 Alberta Ltd. and company director P.X. to pay a total of $137,915.79 to the Employment Standards Branch for wages owed to foreign workers S.J., J.B. and G.R.

The decision was edited to protect the personal information of the employees, who worked at a hotel, reportedly in Melita, at different times and also lived there during their employment.

The board stated the employees were owed wages after hearing evidence about long working hours, irregular payments, inadequate employment records and working conditions.

‘Fine wine’: Vintage Collaros shows up in big win over Als after 38th birthday

Ken Wiebe 6 minute read 10:29 AM CDT

Zach Collaros was in no mood for I-told-you-so’s.

There were no references – either thinly veiled or direct – to the naysayers, many of whom thought the Blue Bombers were in deep trouble as the league-leading Montreal Alouettes rolled into town on a roll for a matchup on Friday that could have left Winnipeg with a sub-.500 record heading into the Labour Day Classic.

No, that’s not Collaros’ style or part of how he operates.

After outduelling Alouettes quarterback Davis Alexander in a convincing 44-28 victory, Collaros stood in front of a group of reporters and displayed almost no emotion, despite delivering what can easily be described as his best showing of the season.
