ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Social plans are unpredictable. Likewise, sports and playful activities with children are potentially accident-prone. Be vigilant! Nevertheless, this is a powerful day to make creative advances in the arts, financial speculation and the entertainment world.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Because your home routine might be interrupted, get dressed and stock the fridge. Be patient with family members. Once the dust settles, a conversation with someone older (perhaps a parent) might bring some structure and direction to things.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Pay attention to what you say and what you do because this is a mildly accident-prone day for you. Keep your eyes open. On the upside, you might have some brilliant ideas because you can think outside of the box. Later in the day, solid, practical solutions might occur to you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Keep an eye on your money and possessions to protect them from loss, theft or damage, because something unexpected might impact what you own. On the other hand, (you have different rings) you might have some innovative moneymaking ideas that impress someone?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a tricky day. The moon is in your sign lined up with Mars, Uranus and Saturn, which means you’ll feel ambitious, powerful and impulsive, yet ready to give things a sober, second thought. Quite a mixture! Go slowly because this is also an accident-prone day. Expect some great moments!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Very likely, this is a restless day for you. It could be because of money and possessions as these things are on your mind. However, someone in a position of authority — a parent, boss or the police — might catch you off-guard. Be alert. (The world needs more lerts.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

A friend or member of a group might surprise you. Or alternatively, you might surprise them? Travel plans and issues related to medicine, the law or publishing are unpredictable. Fortunately, a discussion with a partner or spouse might anchor things for you in a solid way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’re high-viz. People notice you. Meanwhile, something unexpected might occur you that calls attention to you? You might have a clever idea or something unexpected could occur? Stay light on your feet. You’re ready to work hard.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Travel plans might be interrupted, as could appointments related to medical, legal or educational issues. (Give yourself extra time so you have wiggle room to deal with the unexpected.) You might have an important discussion about something related to your kids, a vacation or an artistic project.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Keep an eye on banking issues and anything to do with shared property, inheritances, taxes, debt and anything you manage jointly with someone else, because this will be a focus. Something unexpected could occur. A family member might help you solidify things.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Patience will be your best friend as important discussions with partners, close friends and spouses are tricky. You might have to deal with someone who is a bit aggressive, even unpredictable. Social plans might change. Be vigilant with your kids. Something looks “serious.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your job routine might be interrupted, especially if you work from home. You’re motivated to be productive — definitely! You can use also this energy to make some long-range, practical plans. Meanwhile, someone older or more experienced might have advice for you, probably related to earnings or your possessions.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Football player Travis Kelce (1989) shares your birthday. You are sensual, optimistic, admirable and fair. You’re also charming and fun-loving. This is a year of learning and teaching. Take time for reflection. You might renew your spiritual beliefs. Explore philosophies that give you a better self-awareness and get you closer to the true meaning of your life.

HBC closing downtown Bay store in February

Martin Cash 2 minute read Friday, Oct. 2, 2020

In February, just five years shy of its 100th anniversary, the Portage Avenue Bay store, the mammoth icon of a bygone era of downtown department store shopping, will shut down for good.

HBC's decision to close the 650,000-square-foot store at Portage Avenue and Memorial Boulevard — twice the size of the Winnipeg Ikea store — won't come as a surprise to most people in the city.

Over the years, the company has closed some of the store's six floors and its basement, consolidating stock on just two levels. Last year a company-wide valuation of HBC's real estate holdings valued the downtown Winnipeg building at precisely $0.

"The decision to close this store was a difficult one," said Iain Nairn, president and CEO, Hudson's Bay Co.

Uncanny acting and bittersweet script a fitting tribute to Laurel and Hardy

Randall King  4 minute read Friday, Feb. 1, 2019

Laurel and Hardy, arguably one of the greatest comedy teams ever to grace the Vaudeville stage and screen, enjoyed a long and fruitful partnership. In fact, it lasted so long, it might as well have been a marriage.

That is the dramatic gist of this film by Jon S. Baird (Filth), who examines the duo in their career twilight, touring the music halls and theatres of England, circa 1953.

The Lancashire-born Stan Laurel (Steve Coogan) has the advantage of being on home turf. Oliver Hardy (John C. Reilly) is hobbled by health issues. While their routines are very much rooted in the English music hall tradition, they are past their prime. Feature films are the medium of choice for comedy duos. Laurel, who has a plaintive moment staring at a freshly installed billboard for the latest Abbott and Costello movie, is trying to cut a deal for a new film based on the legend of Robin Hood. It becomes increasingly obvious that the English producer he’s trying to contact is avoiding him.

Hardy is under different stresses, including failing health and an unhealthy penchant for the vices of drinking and gambling.

Alex Jones concedes Sandy Hook attack was ‘100% real’

Jim Vertuno, The Associated Press 6 minute read Wednesday, Aug. 3, 2022

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — For years, bombastic far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones ranted to his millions of followers that the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax, that children weren’t killed and that parents were crisis actors in an elaborate ruse to force gun control.

Under oath and facing a jury that could hit him with $150 million or more in damages for his false claims, Jones said Wednesday he now realizes that was irresponsible and believes that what happened in the deadliest school shooting in American history was “100% real.”

Jones’ public contrition came on the final day of testimony in a two-week defamation lawsuit against him and his Austin-based media company, Free Speech Systems, brought by Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, the parents of 6-year-old Jesse Lewis. Their son was a first grader who was among the 20 students and six teachers killed at the school in Newtown, Connecticut, on Dec. 14, 2012.

“I unintentionally took part in things that did hurt these people’s feelings,” said Jones, who also acknowledged raising conspiracy claims about other mass tragedies, from the Oklahoma City and Boston Marathon bombings to the mass shootings in Las Vegas and Parkland, Florida, “and I’m sorry for that.”

Not making the grade: rethinking student assessment

Maggie Macintosh 5 minute read Thursday, Oct. 5, 2023

As most students in B.C. began the new school year without traditional grades, a former Manitoba teacher living in that province is urging colleagues here to do their homework on modern assessment and experiment with marking.

Starting this year, public and private school teachers in British Columbia are assessing kindergarten through Grade 9 with a scale describing a student’s level of understanding — “emerging,” “developing,” “proficient” or “extending” — instead of letter grades.

Grade 10, 11 and 12 students will continue to receive traditional letter grades and percentages.

“What’s wrong with percentages? There’s nothing wrong with them. They are a wonderful little tool, as long as they stay in their lane,” said Myron Dueck, an education consultant who was born in Winnipeg, where he graduated from teachers’ college in 1994.

Many thanks to Erna Buffie for once again speaking up for transit.

Wasteful operations should be held accountable

Wasteful operations should be held accountable

Barry E. Prentice 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Rising water bills are a top-of-mind issue for residents of Winnipeg going into the fall election. Management of the water and waste system is under question, with citizen’s groups, as well as the Free Press, calling for proper oversight of rates (Time for the PUB to review Winnipeg water rates, Editorial, Sept. 26).

The need to increase rates to build the North End sewage plant is understandable. Siphoning off utility proceeds to make up other tax revenue shortfalls is another matter. But it is not the only questionable practice. If there was Public Utilities Board oversight of Winnipeg’s water and sewer rates, it would certainly be asking why the city is spending more than $3 million annually to operate the 164-kilometre-long, Greater Winnipeg Water District railway (GWWD) on ratepayers’ behalf.

The GWWD has come to the attention of the Railway Relocation Study, led by Lloyd Axworthy. All existing rail lines within the city are under review, as is the feasibility of a new railway bypass.

The GWWD is an example of a railway that has outlived its usefulness and sits on a pocket of land close to downtown that could be converted to higher-value uses.
