ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others because compromise is your best option. Fortunately, this will be easy to do because with Venus opposite your sign, relations are easy! This is a good day to make peace.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Discussing agreements openly and exploring relationships with co-workers might be productive. Your focus is on practicality. You might also be interested in doing something that can improve your health? You’re aware of your duties and obligations.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is a lovely day to shmooz and socialize, especially with children. You’ll enjoy fun times, games and playful activities. Romance is also favoured as your focus is on amusement, creative expression and enjoying yourself! Simple as that.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

If you can, try to spend some quiet hours at home among familiar surroundings. Relations with a parent might be key. You might also enjoy redecorating because your focus is on home, family and your private life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You’re eager to talk to others because there’s something you want to say. The trick is to find someone who is willing to genuinely listen, and not just be waiting for their turn to share their stories. You might also discover how much affection there is in your daily world.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Financial issues will flow easily. It might be a good day for you to borrow money? It might also be a good day to invest because you will tend to attract money and wealth to you. Double-check all contracts and agreements because of Mercury retrograde.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

The moon is in your sign, which can make you a bit more emotional than usual. However, it can also slightly improve your good luck over that of all the other signs, which means this is the day to act. Why not ask the universe for a favour?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Solitude will please you as you need some time to pull your act together before you take it on the road. Some of you might also have to care for someone else? Fortunately, you’re willing to help others unselfishly, which is an admirable thing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It’s an excellent day for shmoozing with friends and being involved in group activities as it’s easy to feel loving and affection with others. You might also want to bounce your ideas about goals off someone to get their feedback? It might be helpful.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You’re high-viz, which means people notice you more than usual. In fact, some people will know personal details about your private life. (Be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control.) A new romance with someone of an age difference might begin.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Some of you might be able to travel and explore new ideas and see new places. If you can’t get outta Dodge then check out art exhibits, galleries, museums, concerts and anything that will offer you delightful stimulation and an appreciation of the arts. New love with someone different might begin?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a passionate and affectionate day for romance. New connections will be intense and memorable. Something might occur that allows you to see the deeper elements of what’s going on in a relationship. You might have that Eureka moment. “Ah ha!”

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Sally Field (1946) shares your birthday. You’re a dynamic thinker who is practical and levelheaded. You make things happen because you stay on course. This is the last year of a nine-year cycle. Take inventory of your life. Let go of people, places and things that have held you back. Do some internal and external housecleaning.

Winnipeg soprano strives to portray dark opera's Susannah as a survivor

Holly Harris 6 minute read Friday, Nov. 22, 2019

Opera has never shied away from taboo subjects such as incest, murder and rape, among other acts of human depravity that serve as dark counterpoint to its lighter fare.

Manitoba Opera presents one of those fearless works Saturday when it opens its 47th season with the company debut of Carlisle Floyd’s Susannah, featuring Winnipeg soprano Lara Ciekiewicz as a wide-eyed innocent living in the mountain village of New Hope Valley, Tenn.

The two-act opera sung in English (with projected surtitles) — which won the New York Music Critics Circle Award for Best New Opera in 1956 — is staged by award-winning director, dramaturge and choreographer Kelly Robinson, in his first Manitoba Opera production since 1998. The opera is loosely based on the biblical story of Susanna and the Elders; next to the Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess, it’s the most performed American opera.

Floyd’s melting-pot score will be performed by the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, led by Tyrone Paterson, during the three-performance run.

Canada rides momentum into Olympic semifinal

Donna Spencer, The Canadian Press 5 minute read Friday, Feb. 11, 2022

BEIJING - Permission to make mistakes gave players on Canada's women's hockey team the freedom to exercise their offensive creativity.

Canada continued to air out its attack in the Olympic women's hockey tournament in Friday's 11-0 quarterfinal win over Sweden.

Defending champion United States — a 4-1 winner over Czechia on Friday — and Canada await the outcome of Saturday's quarterfinals between Russia and Switzerland, and Finland and Japan, to know their semifinal opponents Monday.

The gold-medal game is Thursday in Beijing.

Closing book on weather-damaged harvest

Laura Rance-Unger 4 minute read 2:01 AM EST

Farmers trying to close the book on this year’s harvest are left with a few loose ends that already promise to make next year’s story interesting.

Fighting weeds, insects and disease goes with the territory when growing annual crops. But unpredictable growing conditions and weather combined with new players joining the crop-threat team make the plot line twisty.

It was uncommonly common to see fields this past summer where it was hard to tell what crop was growing beneath the weeds, if there was a crop on that field at all.

The cold weather, heavy rains and flooding early in the growing season made it impossible for farmers in many areas to follow their usual approach to seeding and weed control. Fields in the most heavily deluged areas remained unworkable until late summer, if farmers could even reach them due to washed-out roads and bridges.

What is Canada’s new nation-building story?

Ana Serrano and André Côté 4 minute read 2:01 AM EST

Americans have spoken. The midterm elections were a decisive repudiation of President Donald Trump’s agenda. The polls and pundits attributed the “Blue Tsunami” to the impacts on grocery bills and gas prices, broken commitments on foreign wars, egregious cronyism, and perhaps even a demand for greater decency in the fractured politics of our closest neighbour.

For Canadians watching from across the border, the general sense is probably a mix of relief that Americans are pushing back on an agenda that targets Canada, and schadenfreude at the expense of a president who sought to humiliate and exploit his northern friends.

Yet, if new polling is correct, we do not think this will turn back the clock. An Abacus Data survey conducted for The Logic before the midterms found that nearly two-thirds of Canadians believe we should build our economy on the assumption that our relationship with the United States will never return to what it was. This sentiment crosses regional and political lines.

It’s a striking shift. And it raises an important question. If Canadians are finally prepared to move on from a collective national identity of simply “not being American,” what is the new collective story for Canada’s next phase?

WHAT IT IS: Fade Into Blue is an enigmatic, evocative oil-on-canvas painting by Laura Lewis, a queer visual artist originally from Halifax and now based in Winnipeg. This large-scale work (183-by-152 cm) is currently on view at Plug In ICA as part of Lewis’s solo exhibition One eye filled with night.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT: This is a show of paintings, often really gorgeous paintings, but Lewis is also using the medium in a conceptual way. Taken together, these pieces are in a tricky critical conversation with the long history of figurative painting. They explore the expressive and esthetic possibilities of the medium, while taking on subjects that have often been sidelined or oversimplified.

The people in these paintings aren’t passive objects but active collaborators. Lewis works with the sitters, who are friends, sometimes fellow artists and members of the LGBTTQ+ community, in long preparatory photo shoots. She shows them in their own private spaces, in poses and postures that simultaneously reveal and conceal. These are not definitive portraits but open-ended explorations, diving into questions about the construction of identity, especially queer identity.

Some of the works in the show make sideways references to historical artists such as Edouard Manet and Marcel Duchamp, but Lewis is also using painting to reference photography and film. Those three mediums have been in an “it’s complicated” relationship since the 19th century, and Lewis continues that productive tension. In style, her works are painterly, with brushy texture and sudden shards of colour. In terms of content, they often call up images associated with vintage film stills.

With great horsepower comes great responsibility

Like many Winnipeggers, I was once an elementary school patrol.

In the morning and after school in the mid-1990s, you could find me holding it down on the corner of Brock Street and Kingsway Avenue with my orange flag, which I snapped closed with a flourish.

As a junior bossypants, I loved the gig; the rules and routine of it, but also the responsibility I was entrusted with. I felt, for the first time in my life, responsible for something larger and more important than myself.

Plus, at the end of the year, you got to go to Fun Mountain.
