MOON ALERT: After 1:45 a.m. there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Pisces.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Think before you speak or act because something going on behind the scenes might affect your daily routine. Sudden changes, new information and conflicting plans are likely. Be careful because this is a mildly accident-prone day for you, as well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

A dispute with a friend about money, the cost of something or perhaps a possession of yours might arise. It could create a sudden rift. This issue might also take place with a group instead of a friend. Keep your eyes open to avoid losses.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Relations with bosses, parents, VIPs and the police are subject to sudden bursts of anger, rebellion or surprises. Be careful when dealing with authority figures because you might be caught off-guard. Be cool.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Once again, travel plans are subject to sudden changes, cancellations or new directions. If you have to make decisions about legal or medical matters, travel, publishing issues or higher education — do your homework. Make no assumptions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Unexpected issues might impact your financial assets and shared property. In turn, this could affect your relationship with a group or friend. You might let someone down because you can no longer provide the support they expected. Late deliveries or broken items might be an issue.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a poor day for important discussions with parents, bosses and authority figures, as well as with spouses, partners and close friends, because things are at odds. People don’t agree with each other.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Work-related travel plans might go awry or be delayed. Efforts to deal with foreign countries, deliveries, legal and medical matters, and to keep schedules on track are thwarted by unexpected obstacles. Do your best. That’s all you can do.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be patient with your kids. Likewise, romantic partners have to be patient with each other as well, especially if disputes about shared property or costs arise. (People are always touchy about money.) Don’t jump to conclusions. Be aware and patient to prevent potential accidents.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Patience is your best friend because interactions with partners, spouses and close friends are completely unpredictable. They might be upset about something or do something you least expect. (Possibly, you are rigid or stubborn.) If you keep cool, you are best equipped to deal with whatever happens.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Work-related issues as well as your daily routine are up for grabs, probably because of unexpected influences, obstacles or possible accidents. Therefore, be aware. Pay attention to everything you say and do. Nothing will unfold as expected. Be mindful and vigilant to minimize any problems that might arise.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Money issues, especially related to your kids, social outings or vacations, might blow up in your face. It could also be a disagreement about the cost of something. You might suddenly lose your tickets or have muddled directions. Something unexpected will likely occur.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

The day is unpredictable, perhaps even explosive. It’s also accident-prone. Therefore, keep your wits about you. Patience will be your best friend. Think before you speak or act. Don’t make a big deal about anything. (Five years from now, will this matter?) Take it easy.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Singer, songwriter Bill Withers (1938-2020) shared your birthday. You are purposeful. Your relationships with others mean something. You are loyal, progressive and willing to defend. This is a playful, fun-loving year for you. Let your guard down and loosen up a bit. Enjoy yourself, but don’t lose sight of your goals. Old friends might reappear.

Petan looking for a job; Jets may have opening

Jason Bell 6 minute read Monday, Sep. 10, 2018

Is this the season Nic Petan earns a full-time gig with the Winnipeg Jets?

The 23-year-old from Delta, B.C., boasts an impressive "previous employment" section on his hockey resume: high-scoring centre in the Western Hockey League; gold medallist with Team Canada at the 2015 world junior hockey championship; and point-a-game performer in the American Hockey League.

Yet, he hasn't found a permanent spot on the NHL club's roster, five years after the Jets selected him in the second round (43rd overall) of the 2013 NHL draft.

Gone from the landscape are centres Paul Stastny and Matt Hendricks and wingers Joel Armia and Shawn Matthias, meaning at least a couple of job openings up front are available.

Enlist landlord to turn down neighbours’ volume

Maureen Scurfield Miss Lonelyhearts 3 minute read Tuesday, Apr. 19, 2022

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My side-by-side duplex neighbour sings loud, horrible duets with his girlfriend. She sings in a screechy soprano, and he bangs on the piano, and attempts to “harmonize” with her.

It’s just painful. We can hear them clearly through our cheap walls. For some reason, they get inspired late at night. Then they can go for up to an hour “singing” together. It’s endless when you’re trying to go to sleep and have to work in the morning. We figure they must be hitting the bottle.

I end up having to bang on the wall and swear at the top of my lungs to shut them up. Last night the guy banged back, and yelled through the wall, “What’s your problem, you idiot? Why don’t you come over here!”

Should I go see them? My girlfriend wants me to shut down their singing for good, no matter what it takes.

Granite housing project passes final council hurdle after appeal rejected

Malak Abas 4 minute read 5:34 PM CDT

Critics of the proposed 12-storey housing project set for the parking lot of the Granite Curling Club were shut down at a city meeting Thursday as councillors allowed the development to proceed.

The 110-unit building at 30 Granite Way originally meant the loss of 45 of the 80 parking spots, which the long-running club said would ruin its financial viability.

In June, the city produced a plan to add parking spots around the club by removing a boulevard and adjusting spots at another parking lot, but the club’s management called the plan inadequate.

City council’s property and development committee discussed a number of proposed variances to the building plan Thursday, including allowing the building height to reach 126 feet even though regulations stipulate a maximum 100 feet, and shifts in the width of some parking spots allotted to the residential building and the curling club. Appeals against those changes, including those by management at the Granite Curling Club, were unanimously denied by the committee.

Rainbow Stage gamely gives Neil Sedaka's songs another spin

Randall King 4 minute read Friday, Jul. 13, 2018

The Neil Sedaka jukebox musical Breaking Up Is Hard to Do is a nostalgia delivery system in the same way cigarettes are a nicotine delivery system.

It’s not necessarily good for you. But it is an unapologetic indulgence to those of a certain vintage who know... well, who Neil Sedaka is, for starters.

For those of unvintaged vantage: Sedaka was Jewish Brill Building songwriter and pop star whose career peaked in the late 1950s and early ‘60s, one of the reasons this romantic comedy is set in 1960 in a failing holiday resort in New York’s Catskill Mountains.

Esther’s Paradise is operated by Esther Simowitz (Debbie Maslowsky), a widow struggling to keep the place together after paying off the debts left by her late, lamented hubby.

Shattered windows at E.K. Islamic centre result of gunfire, members of Muslim community say

Morgan Modjeski 6 minute read Updated: 8:17 PM CDT

Officers are investigating damage to the Rahma Islamic Centre on Watt Street Wednesday night that members of the city’s Muslim community say was a drive-by shooting in which no one was injured.

Winnipeg Police Service spokesman Const. Claude Chancy said several windows at the building located at 574 Watt St. were shattered shortly after 11:30 p.m., causing an estimated $3,000 in damage.

Chancy made no mention of shots being fired, and no suspects have been identified.

He said there had also been a report that earlier Wednesday evening, the occupants of a vehicle that drove past the centre had shouted slurs at people outside.

Brown goes down, so do Blue

Taylor Allen 5 minute read 11:10 PM CDT

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers suffered one of their most embarrassing and inexcusable losses in recent memory on Thursday night.

A one-win B.C. Lions team — featuring a rookie quarterback making his first career start, a rookie running back making his first career start and two backup offensive lineman in action — somehow, someway dealt the Blue and Gold a 35-19 defeat in front of 31,509 disgruntled fans at Princess Auto Stadium.

The Bombers, now 1-4 on home turf this season, have dropped back-to-back games to fall to 4-4. The Lions improved to 2-5.

While Kaidon Salter didn’t dazzle with his arm, the young Lions pivot played mistake-free football and was at the centre of a relentless ground attack.
