MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions after 9:30 p.m. The new moon occurs in Gemini at 9:54 p.m.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

The new moon is the best day of the year for you to think about something exciting you can learn. Something interesting, fresh and different. Hopefully, it will be helpful, and at least fascinating.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

The new moon offers you a chance to think about moneymaking ideas or how you can get richer. You might see ways to make money on the side. You might see ways to take better care of things you own. Basically, you want to feather your nest in a practical way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

The new moon is in your sign, which is the best day of the year for you to take a realistic look in the mirror and ask yourself what you can do to improve the image you project into your world. Ideas? Anyone? Bueller?

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

With Mercury in your sign, you’re eager to chat with everyone. Meanwhile, Venus and Jupiter are in also in your sign making you charming and entertaining to everyone. This is a good day to think about your spiritual or religious values.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is the perfect day to think about what friendships mean to you. (It’s a rare wonderful thing to have one good friend in your life.) Have you thought about what kind of friend you are to others? The new moon encourages these reflections.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

All of us have to deal with authority figures, and the new moon is your opportunity to scrutinize how you deal with those in your life. How can you improve your relationship with parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs or the police?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This might be the best day of the year to ask yourself how you can enrich your life by learning something — or anything. Or perhaps, you can better enrich your life through travel. What can you do to expand your world? Think about this.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Each new moon is an opportunity to set intentions. The new moon is an excellent time to think about how to get out of debt. You might also think about how you handle shared property and joint responsibilities with someone. Can you improve anything?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

In a successful relationship, you must be as good for your partner as he or she is for you. The new moon is opposite your sign, offering you a chance to think about how you can improve your closest relationships. Ideas?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Confucius said “Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.” This is something to think about this new moon because it’s the only one in your house of employment all year. What can you do to make your work feel rewarding?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The new moon is your chance to ask yourself how well you’re doing at the art of living. Do you balance work and play in your life? We need both. But too much of one or the other is not ideal. Also, do you let yourself express your creativity?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

What can you do to improve your relations with family members? Likewise, what can you do to improve where you live so you are happier residing there? These are the opportunities this new moon offers you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actress Lucy Hale (1989) shares your birthday. You have a strong urge to take charge. You are confident, single-minded and tenacious. This is a pleasant year for socializing and enjoying life. Nurture the happiness you have within. Let your guard down and loosen up a bit. Have fun, but don’t lose sight of your goals.

Crop storage headaches loom on horizon

Laura Rance-Unger 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

A sense of calm descends over Prairie fields this time of year — at least on the surface.

Activities become more limited in the weeks leading up to harvest. There’s not much farmers can do now to support this year’s crop, other than monitor and protect it from diseases such as sclerotinia in canola and leaf stripe and fusarium head blight in wheat and barley.

July is when you might see farmers wading into a thick stand of canola, conducting a so-called “wet pants test” to get a low-tech read on how much disease-inducing moisture is lurking in the canopy.

Disease pressure is high in a humid, hot summer like this one and it’s kept aerial applicators busy applying fungicides. Sclerotinia spores live on plant residues in the soil and blossom into a mould that destroys the canola stem, starving the maturing pods.

Beyond Bond, Connery characters funny, fierce

Beyond Bond, Connery characters funny, fierce

Randall King 5 minute read Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2020

When I was a kid, many of my peers collected sports cards. I collected movie cards, starting with the 1965 run of James Bond 007 cards put out by the good folks at Fleer.

At that point, only three Bond movies existed: Dr. No (1962), From Russia with Love (1963) and Goldfinger (1964). (Thunderball would be released later in 1965.) The cards were basically productions stills of Sean Connery’s Bond in action, with appropriate captions: “Hunted by a Helicopter” as seen in From Russia With Love, or “The Incredible Laser Ray” or “Oddjob’s Deadly Derby” from Goldfinger.

So the news of Sean Connery’s death over the weekend had a kind of visceral effect, as it would on those of us who valued movie heroes over champions of the gridiron or baseball diamond. Connery, who lived to the ripe age of 90, presented a different kind of hero than the TV do-gooders of the era, a fact announced in an early scene from Dr. No when Bond cold-bloodedly kills a would-be assassin after he’s emptied his own pistol. “That’s a Smith & Wesson, and you’ve had your six.”

Connery played Bond a total of seven times, and while he was undoubtedly the best of the Bonds, only a few of the movies hold up. Connery is certainly phoning it in in Diamonds Are Forever (1971), for example, letting his character devolve into self-parody. But his quest to escape the Bond brand resulted in a few interesting roles, including The Anderson Tapes (1971), in which he played a career criminal with a conscience (sans toupée), or Zardoz (1974), a delirious post-apocalyptic fantasy in which his primitive warrior goes up against a race of immortal intellectuals.

Long journey to home ownership for Eritrean couple

Long journey to home ownership for Eritrean couple

Zoe Pierce 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

Solomon Ghebru and his family have been building a life together in Winnipeg for the past three years after years of living apart in various countries. Now, they are working toward a new goal: owning a home.

Their story is the focus of this year’s Habitat for Humanity Manitoba Cycle of Hope fundraising ride, a seven-day cycling event through southern Manitoba that begins Monday. The ride aims to raise $150,000 to support Ghebru, his wife, Mehret Awate, and their two daughters as they work toward affordable homeownership.

The couple’s journey to Canada started in Eritrea, where they grew up and attended the same church together. They left Eritrea separately, hoping to build a better life together out of the country. Ghebru travelled through Sudan and Libya before reaching Malta, while Awate travelled to Sudan and then Uganda.

After he found work in Malta, he tried to have his family join him, but government policies prevented them from reuniting. The couple married in Uganda in 2016, and their first daughter, Peniel, was born there the following year.

COVID running up the score on some U.S. NHL teams

Mike McIntyre 7 minute read Friday, Feb. 12, 2021

Boy, how about the thrilling, non-stop NHL action Thursday night? Let’s roll the highlights:

Down in Denver, you had the high-flying Colorado Avalanche hosting the Arizona Coyotes. Well, on paper, anyways. The actual on-ice product was postponed. OK, let’s head to the State of Hockey to see how our old Central Division friends fared, as Minnesota entertained St. Louis. What’s that? Scrapped as well. Huh.

Surely things are a bit better on the East Coast. Were the Buffalo Sabres able to contain Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals? Turns out their inability to contain something else meant this one was also shelved. At least there’s that Flyers-Devils clash in Philly, right? Wrong.

Oh, for Pete’s sake.

Brandon laying groundwork for Arabian championship

Connor McDowell 3 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

BRANDON — It’s time to dish the dirt on what’s about to happen at Brandon’s Keystone Centre.

Hundreds of horses and hundreds more spectators are about to descend on the site for Canada’s National Arabian Championship Aug. 6 to 15, and before that happens, the staging surface has to be perfect.

“We have been working on this day in and day out,” said Devin Epp, sales manager in the Ag Centre at the Keystone Centre.

Since July 24, staff have been working on a 24-hour schedule to build the competition floor. Dirt was hauled into the arena and has since been worked into place with tractors and hand-pushed equipment.
