MOON ALERT: After 7 a.m. today there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Gemini.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You’re impulsive, and you are also highly creative. You might have an original idea that surprises everyone. Don’t hesitate to share what you think even if it sounds a bit touchy-feely or too “out there.” Meanwhile, keep hard at work busting your buns.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You might have some unusual ideas about making money or increasing your earnings. Admittedly, something unexpected might also impact something you own. Therefore, guard your possessions against loss, theft or damage. Strive to be clear in your thinking and communications.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is an unusually powerful day for you because the moon is in your sign enhanced by several planets. You’ll be an effective communicator who might inspire a friend or group. However, guard against impulsive, rash actions because your moods will change quickly. Keep your eyes open!

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You might feel restless. Make no assumptions when dealing with authority figures (parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the police) because there is a possibility of confusion or misunderstandings. You have strong ideas about shared property, inheritance and debt.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

A friend might say or do something that catches you off-guard. Or perhaps a member of a group will do so? Possibly, something unusual, even in the news, makes you feel sympathetic to someone and you want to help. Meanwhile, conversations with partners and close friends could be intense.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Keep your eye on authority figures — including parents — because they might do something you least expect. (“Busted!”) It can be minor, or it could be major. Don’t break the rules. Ask for permission. Some of you will look for ways to improve your health or job.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Travel plans might be interrupted. Or you might suddenly have to travel when you didn’t expect to do so. Romantic exchanges as well as interactions with kids might be intense. (You might even feel jealous.) Meanwhile, you’ll want to help a partner or someone close to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Think twice before you make an important financial decision, especially if giving someone else money or sharing something. Don’t be rash. Give everything a sober second thought. (Even if you want to help someone.) Also, guard against an obsession!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A partner or close friend might throw you a curveball. Be ready for something unexpected. Someone might be jealous or may misunderstand something — even a gesture of generosity or caring on your part. Fortunately, you make a great impression on everyone.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your work routine will be interrupted. Equipment breakdowns, staff shortages, late deliveries — something will occur. Guard against being obsessed about something — perhaps meeting a deadline or going by the rule book? Stay flexible. In the passage of time, will this really matter? Keep things in perspective.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Parents should be extra-vigilant about their kids because this is an accident-prone day for children. Furthermore, information about social outings, your kids or sporting events might be confusing or misleading. Don’t get your belly in a rash.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your home routine will be interrupted. Small appliances might break down or something could surprise you. Someone unexpected might appear at your door. Stay cool. Confusion about money and possessions is likely. Get all your facts before you react or decide to take action.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Charlie Sheen (1965) shares your birthday. You’re clever, thoughtful, independent and determined. You appear to be conciliatory and affable to be effective. It’s time to build foundations in your life both externally and internally. Simplicity is key. Take charge of your health. Physical exercise will be important. (Explore martial arts or yoga.) Stay grounded and levelheaded.

Kenosha protesters, police clash again after Black man shot

Mike Householder And Tammy Webber, The Associated Press 8 minute read Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2020

KENOSHA, Wis. - Anger over the shooting of a Black man by police spilled into the streets of Kenosha for a second night Monday, with police again firing tear gas at hundreds of protesters who defied a curfew, threw bottles and shot fireworks at law enforcement guarding the courthouse.

The southeastern Wisconsin city became the nation's latest flashpoint in a summer of racial unrest after cellphone footage of police shooting Jacob Blake — apparently in the back, as he leaned into his SUV while his three children sat in the vehicle — circulated widely on social media Sunday. The 29-year-old was hospitalized in serious condition.

The shooting drew condemnation from Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, who also called out 125 members of the National Guard on Monday after protesters set cars on fire, smashed windows and clashed with officers in riot gear the previous night.

Police first fired tear gas Monday about 30 minutes after the 8 p.m. curfew took effect to disperse protesters who chanted, “No justice, no peace” as they confronted a line of officers who wore protective gear and stood shoulder-to-shoulder in front of the courthouse entrance. But hundreds of people stuck around, screaming at police and lighting fires, including to a garbage truck near the courthouse.

Tokyo Olympics sponsorship scandal widens with more arrests

Yuri Kageyama, The Associated Press 3 minute read Tuesday, Sep. 6, 2022

TOKYO (AP) — Bribery allegations against a former Tokyo Olympics organizing committee member widened Tuesday as Japanese prosecutors “re-arrested” Haruyuki Takahashi in a case involving suspected payments from a publisher which became a sponsor for the Games.

The latest allegations center on 76 million yen ($540,000) Takahashi received from Tokyo-based publishing company Kadokawa, according to Tokyo District prosecutors. The sponsorship allowed Kadokawa, which also makes films and games, to publish programs and other books related to the Tokyo Olympics.

Also arrested Tuesday were two Kadokawa officials, Toshiyuki Yoshihara and Kyoji Maniwa, who allegedly deposited the money.

Takahashi has been in detention since being arrested last month on suspicion of receiving bribes from clothing manufacturer Aoki Holdings. He was formally charged Tuesday with receiving 51 million yen ($360,000) in bribes from Aoki.

New borders open up St. James race

Larry Kusch 6 minute read Thursday, Sep. 5, 2019

St. James is shaping up to be a battle between the New Democrats and Progressive Conservatives in a constituency that tends to elect the candidate from the winning party.

There is no incumbent in the contest, as Scott Johnston, the PC MLA who won the seat in 2016, has opted to run in the neighbouring constituency of Assiniboia.

The NDP and the PCs are each fielding a strong first-time candidate in this bellwether constituency — one of several to watch Tuesday on election night.

Michelle Richard, 50, an urban planner and small-business owner, is running under the Tory banner against 39-year-old New Democrat Adrien Sala, director of strategy and operations for Assiniboine Credit Union.

Agriculture sector wary of ‘strong headwind’ from south

Laura Rance-Unger 5 minute read Saturday, Sep. 5, 2026

Industry analysts talked in circles on a recent webinar as they discussed the implications for agriculture of Canada’s deteriorating relationship with its largest trading partner.

On one hand, panellists for the hastily convened Canadian AgriFood Policy Institute event acknowledged the futility of negotiating on quicksand: a deal made today with the United States might be sucked into the muck tomorrow.

But on the other, webinar panellists speculated with varying degrees of optimism over what it will take to get negotiators back to bargaining.

This disconnect isn’t unique to this cluster of analysts. However, it underscores the difficulty of coming to terms with the seismic shift in America’s attitudes towards Canada.

Pandemic has seen a record number of adults taking music lessons

Alan Small 6 minute read Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2020

For some people, it’s called six-string therapy. For others, it has become 88 keys to coping with 2020.

It seems learning to play a musical instrument has struck a chord for adults during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Since the whole COVID outbreak, a lot of people are starting to turn toward in-home lessons or online lessons,” says Mike Fondse, operations manager at Quest Musique’s Portage Avenue location. “As far as music lessons, home recording, anything regarding playing music at home has skyrocketed recently.”

It’s no surprise, really. In the spring, when lockdown protocols to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus kept people at home, they took up baking, tried learning a new language, or planted their first gardens, among other activities.

‘We belong… and we are giving back”: Sikh celebration enlivens downtown Winnipeg

Melissa Martin 3 minute read Yesterday at 4:34 PM CDT

Downtown Winnipeg came alive with vibrant sights, sounds, and scents on Sunday, as Manitoba’s Sikh community flocked to Memorial Park to celebrate its annual Nagar Kirtan procession and festival.

This year marked the 422nd anniversary of the completion of the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture central to the Sikh faith. Shortly after 1 p.m., a palanquin bearing a copy of the scripture was led in parade through downtown Winnipeg, with musical accompaniment.

“This is a chance to tell the public and the whole community where we come from and who we are,” said volunteer Prabh Grewal shortly before the procession got underway. “In a community there are people from every race and every country, and our main objective is to have everybody live in peace and harmony together.”

Before, during, and after the procession, the park hummed with life. As many as 55,000 people converged on the site, with the majority dressed in festive traditional attire. Near the height of the day’s 30 C heat, families relaxed in patches of shade, enjoying plates of Punjabi cuisine dished out for free at dozens of tents sponsored by local businesses.
