MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) or important decisions until 10:30 a.m. After that, the moon moves from Pisces into Aries.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Don’t let an element of dreamy confusion get you sidetracked because this is possible. Instead, work with the energy of the moon in your own sign dancing with Mars and Uranus, which makes you focused, ready for action and spontaneous.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

This is a restless day for you. Something going on behind the scenes might put you on edge. Nevertheless, it’s a great day to research something and find solutions to old problems. You might literally have a “Eureka!” moment. (Don’t be discouraged by authority figures or someone older.)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

A friend might surprise you or you might meet someone who is unusual. Don’t let anyone rain on your parade or throw shade on you. With Mars in your sign, you’re energetic, and the placement of Venus makes you charming and diplomatic.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

This is a poor day to ask for permission or approval from authority figures because co-operation is not easy to get. Meanwhile, be aware you are high-viz, which means people notice you more than usual. Think twice before you act impulsively.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

An unexpected opportunity to travel might fall into your lap. Perhaps travel plans will suddenly change. Likewise, something unexpected related to medicine, the law or higher education might also occur. Stay in your power zone with both Venus and Jupiter in your sign.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Make friends with your bank account because something unexpected could impact assets or anything to do with shared property. Stay on top of things. You’re prepared to assert yourself when dealing with authority figures. (Be smart, and do so wisely and gently.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You have to accommodate someone or go more than halfway to meet them, as it were. Furthermore, relations with partners, spouses and authority figures might be strained. Fortunately, you’ll enjoy talking to friends and members of groups who will support your ideas.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your work routine will be interrupted. Do not be cowed by the criticism of authority figures. Be courteous and remember that with both Venus and Jupiter at the top of your chart, you actually make a great impression on everyone.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Be patient with partners and close friends because fiery Mars opposite your sign can make you easily irritated with others. This could be about disputes related to shared property or debt. It might also relate to the cost of entertaining or responsibility for children. Stay chill.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Take a mellow approach when dealing with partners and close friends because relationships can be strained, especially due to criticism or a grumpy tone. (We hate grumpy tones.) In fact, you have the energy to make home improvements and share your ideas with family.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Steer clear of authority figures at work because you might be criticized or become discouraged for some reason. Instead, act on impulsive plans to do something fun and different. Why not? Accept invitations to explore new avenues that look appealing. Live it up.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your focus on finances and money really matters. Very likely, you might impulsively purchase something. Children might be an increased responsibility or you may be concerned about picking up the tab for fun diversions with friends and family.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor, comedian Kevin Hart (1979) shares your birthday. You are charismatic and vibrantly optimistic. Your enthusiasm is infectious. This is a year of exciting changes and increased personal freedom. Stay flexible and let go of whatever impedes your growth. Seek out new opportunities and be ready to act fast. Trust your intuition. Expect to travel.

Man accused of impaired driving nabbed for speeding near park

2 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

BRANDON — A 22-year-old man is facing several charges, including impaired driving, after he was arrested last week for going 100 kilometres per hour near a park.

On July 16 around 4:30 p.m., Ste. Rose du Lac RCMP officers saw a truck that appeared to be travelling 100 km/h in a 40 km/h zone near a park in Ebb and Flow First Nation.

The truck was seen near the intersection of Lake Road Northeast and Northwest Road, RCMP said Tuesday.

Police realized the truck matched a description of a vehicle that had fled from officers multiple times earlier in the week, the release said.

PLEASE do not ask how my algorithm delivered this news.

Still, apparently, embalmers are finding that “tough, white, rubbery, fibrous masses resembling strips of calamari … are turning up in body after body across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.”

According to this news source, these fibrous entities emerged after the COVID pandemic and subsequent vaccine rollout.

Citing research published in the International Journal of Innovative Research in Medical Science by a retired U.S. Army officer, the news presenter weaves a horror story of an unsuspecting public being duped into accepting harmful vaccines. The YouTube video I viewed is just one example of the anti-vaccination lobby’s toolkit.

Postponed Tokyo Olympics could be downsized and simplified

Postponed Tokyo Olympics could be downsized and simplified

Stephen Wade, The Associated Press 4 minute read Thursday, Jun. 4, 2020

TOKYO - The Japanese public is being prepared for the reality of next year’s postponed Olympics, where athletes are likely to face quarantines, spectators will be fewer, and the delay will cost taxpayers billions of dollars.

In the last several weeks, International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach has given selected interviews outside Japan and hinted at empty stadiums, quarantines and virus testing.

IOC member John Coates, who oversees Tokyo preparations, said a few weeks ago in Australia that the Tokyo Olympics face “real problems," partially because of the numbers involved: 15,400 Olympic and Paralympic athletes to start with, and then staff, officials, media and up to 80,000 volunteers.

The stark message about a very different, reduced Olympics is now being floated in Japan by politicians, and in unsourced news stories. The themes include the possibility of reduced seating at the Olympics — if any fans at all — tests for all athletes, fans and staff, and a quarantine-like situation at the Athletes Village.

Mountain View teacher stripped of licence over explicit messages

Maggie Macintosh 5 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

A Roblin teacher has been stripped of his professional licence after an undercover police investigation found he sent explicit messages to a social media user he believed to be a 15-year-old girl.

Manitoba cancelled Josh Braaksma’s credentials — listed in the province’s online registry under his full name, Joshua William Braaksma — on July 6. His certificate was suspended on an interim basis in the fall.

The misconduct case involving Braaksma, who has taught and coached in the Mountain View School Division over the last decade, is the first to be resolved via a “written hearing.”

“Having regard to the nature, content and context of (his) communications, the panel finds that the teacher’s conduct renders him unsuitable to be a teacher,” the disciplinary decision states.

City’s Kenaston plan won’t work, outside consultant told Crown land authority in October

Aldo Santin 7 minute read Friday, Jul. 13, 2018

The consulting firm hired to redesign the former Kapyong Barracks property agrees with area residents who believe the plan to widen Kenaston Boulevard is flawed and will negatively impact surrounding neighbourhoods.

A letter sent from B.C.-based Urban Systems to Canada Lands Company says the City of Winnipeg is intent on turning Kenaston into an “urban freeway” — an approach that fails to mesh with CLC’s proposed development of the Kapyong property.

“Developing Route 90 into an urban freeway will create disruptions through significant acquisitions of the Kapyong lands by the city as required to meet right-of-way requirements for an urban freeway,” a principal of the firm says in the later dated Oct. 23, 2017.

The letter was obtained by the Winnipeg Free Press through an Access to Information request. The letter-writer's identity had been blacked-out.

Blood services: need 1-M new donors in next 5 years

Blood services: need 1-M new donors in next 5 years

Tiago Resko 3 minute read Yesterday at 7:05 AM CDT

Getting a tattoo or going out to a bar are common things to do when turning 18, but Saige Zdebiak’s first act of adulthood was donating blood.

“It was always kind of a goal of mine. I’ve always wanted to do it because my mom’s done it hundreds of times,” said the now-22-year-old while donating at Canadian Blood Services earlier this week.

Zdebiak needed a heart transplant when she was three and developed Lyme disease when she was 10. She gives back today so health-care workers can continue to help people the way they helped her.

She is one of 400,000 donors to Canadian Blood Services across the country — but it’s still not enough to meet the recent spike in demand.
