MOON ALERT: Caution. Avoid shopping (except for food and gas) and important decisions all day. The moon is in Virgo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You might have to put your own emotional considerations second to those of someone else because an element of service is a theme for you. You also might explore ways to improve your health, especially through diet. Be aware there’s a moon alert all day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

This is a wonderful, creative day. If you’re involved in the arts or a creative project, you can use your artistic talents as this entire day is a moon alert, which means your mind is free — floating like a helium balloon released in the sky.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Focus on home and family. Relax among familiar surroundings. Cut yourself some slack as it’s hard to crank up ambition. Take it easy. Enjoy the company of others, but don’t agree to anything important.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

This is a great day for short trip. Or you might want to relax and learn something new. Conversations with daily contacts will be a pleasant way to pass this day. Because there’s a moon alert all day, avoid shopping, except for food and gas.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a tricky day because the entire day is a moon alert, which is a poor time for shopping or making important decisions. Nevertheless, this moon alert is taking place in your money house, which means you’re thinking about financial matters, negotiations and perhaps shopping.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The moon alert is taking place in your sign, which might make you feel more emotional. However, it can also make you feel relaxed and free-floating. Don’t make important decisions. Don’t go shopping. (Except for food and gas). Relax and socialize with others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is the perfect day to be low-key and hide somewhere. Lower your ambitions when it comes to what you want to accomplish because shortages and a lack of focused energy might slow you down. Go gently.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a lovely day to shmooz with others. With Venus and Mercury in your sign, you’ll enjoy talking to people. In turn, people will be attracted to you because you’re charming. Think about future goals, but commit to nothing important.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This entire day is a moon alert, which is pleasant, creative and great for shmoozing, but poor for important decisions and spending money. For your sign, the moon alert is taking place at the top of your chart, which means people notice you. Be aware of this.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might have some feelings of escapism because you want to do something different. You want a change of scenery. If you can explore the world around you, by all means do so. Keep things light. Restrict spending to food and gas as there’s a moon alert all day. Learn something new.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Be careful because there’s a moon alert in effect all day, and it’s taking place in one of your money houses. Therefore, postpone decisions about inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt and insurance issues. It’s OK to do your homework in these areas, but wait until tomorrow to commit or act.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You have to be accommodating when dealing with others. In fact, you might have to go more than halfway. Don’t agree to anything important as this entire day is a moon alert. Enjoy shmoozing with everyone.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Matt Damon (1970) shares your birthday. You’re clever, idealistic and optimistic. You pursue your dreams with charm and logic. This is the final year of a nine-year cycle for you. Take inventory of your life. Let go of the people, places and things from the past that held you back. Do some internal and external housecleaning.

Care home residents go without baths, change of clothes

Danielle Da Silva 5 minute read Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2022

The sudden loss of staff due to COVID-19 at more than a dozen Winnipeg nursing homes has made it tough for some to bathe and change residents’ clothing.

Twenty-four employees at the 200-bed Saul and Claribel Simkin Centre care home in southwest Winnipeg have tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 10 days, chief executive officer Laurie Cerqueti said Wednesday.

“It’s not any one particular area that’s been hit,” Cerqueti said. “In the one week of this wave, we’ve had more staff test positive than in seven weeks of outbreak in wave two.”

Cerqueti said remaining employees focus on providing essential care and rely on designated caregivers and volunteers.

War veteran helped build Rivercrest

Bill Redekop 6 minute read Saturday, Mar. 30, 2019

As one of the original homeowners in Rivercrest, a subdivision north of Winnipeg set aside for war veterans in 1946, and the very last of them to leave at age 101, Art Christensen embodied neighbourhood-building.

He volunteered with the construction of the Rivercrest United Church, Rivercrest Community Club, West St. Paul Curling Club, and West St. Paul Fire Hall.

He went on to serve as West St. Paul councillor for 10 years, and then as reeve for 11.

Christensen was even a bit of a social convener.

This week’s silly geopolitical spat

Gwynne Dyer 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

“I would not like to call this an incident. Let’s say it’s a diplomatic misunderstanding,” said Ukrainian Foreign Affairs Minister Andrii Sybiha. But the South Korean president definitely sees it as a serious incident, and he has already gone public with it.

“If (Ukraine’s) refusal to acknowledge the facts and issue a public apology continues, we will take additional measures,” President Lee Jae-myung wrote on X. He probably means cutting the non-military aid South Korea gives to Ukraine. (There is no military aid, since the constitution bans Seoul from providing arms to a country actively involved in a war).

What monstrous misdeed did the Ukrainian government commit to deserve such harsh words from a country that is generally sympathetic to Ukraine’s struggle against its giant neighbour? Have the South Koreans discovered Ukrainian spies in the Blue House?

No, it’s what we professionals call a “spat.”

Booze sales down, gaming and cannabis up in Manitoba

Booze sales down, gaming and cannabis up in Manitoba

Carol Sanders 5 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

MANITOBA Liquor and Lotteries delivered $724.1 million in profits to the province in 2025-26, with the lion’s share coming from alcohol, even as booze sales continue to shrink.

The Crown corporation’s contribution to Manitoba’s general revenues decreased by $6 million or 0.8 per cent from last year’s allocation of $730.1 million, its annual report shows.

That indicates stable overall performance “despite a changing operating environment,” the recently-released report said.

Those changes include the order from Premier Wab Kinew last year to remove U.S. alcohol from Liquor Mart store shelves after President Donald Trump launched a trade war against Canada as well as Manitobans’ changing tastes.

Alzheimer’s has sent my mother back in time

Pam Frampton 5 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

My mother does a lot of time-travelling — time-shifting, the Alzheimer’s Society calls it.

I wonder how it feels to be in the present at one moment and then suddenly catapulted deep into the past. Is it a jolting experience or a smooth transition to go back and forth in time?

Mom will never be able to tell me. There is so much she can never tell me now.

She can still recite her children’s names when prompted, but she doesn’t ask us about our lives. Instead, she talks about her younger siblings, their grandfather who was hard of hearing, the isolated place where they used to live whose inhabitants were resettled nearly 60 years ago.
