MOON ALERT: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The moon is in Aquarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Very likely, you’ll find friends and members of groups have strong opinions. Nevertheless, listen to the advice of someone older or more experienced as unpredictable events might occur, and their advice could be practical. Stay light on your feet!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Do not contradict authority figures — parents, bosses, VIPs or the police — because people will be pushy. Keep an eye on your bank account and anything to do with earnings and possessions because something unexpected could impact them. You snooze; you lose.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is a powerful day! You have strong opinions about travel, politics, religion, racial issues, and medical and legal matters. With the help of a friend, you will speak with authority as you’ve done your research. Travel plans might suddenly change.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Double-check banking details and anything to do with loans, mortgages, shared property, inheritances and taxes as something unexpected might arise. People will have heated feelings about whatever occurs. Fortunately, someone with authority will prevail with practical ideas.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

A heated discussion with a partner or close friend might take place as people have strong opinions. Meanwhile, a friend or member of a group might throw you a curveball? With Mars in your sign, you’re not going to sit back and take anything that comes your way. You will react!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Strong discussions about your health, a pet or something related to your job might take place. Financial and practical support is there for you; however, someone in authority might surprise you. They might be forthcoming or they might put the brakes on your plans?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Parents should be extra-vigilant to avoid accidents with their kids. Meanwhile, social plans might suddenly change. You might also entertain someone older or more experienced out of a sense of social obligation. (With the sun in your sign, you’re strong and composed.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your home routine might be interrupted. Be smart and stock the fridge because people are happier with food in front of them. You might be more involved with an older family member. Support or lack of it from another source might be a surprise. Stay chill.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is an accident-prone day for you. Think before you speak. You might have increased responsibilities with children. On the upside, you might also have some clever brilliant ideas? (One can only hope.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Keep an eye on your money and possessions as something unexpected could impact them. This might even apply to your job. On the upside, someone older or more experienced might offer you helpful advice. (Old friends and prior contacts with groups are back.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The moon is in your sign giving you lots of energy as it’s supported by stern Saturn. You will work diligently to achieve what you want. However, social plans might suddenly change? Parents should know this could be an accident-prone day for kids, so be vigilant!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a restless day for you. You have the feeling you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. Meanwhile, past opportunities related to publishing, higher education and travel might resurface in your life for some reason? Even a romantic interest with someone afar or from another culture? (Most curious.)

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Michael Gambon (1940-2023) shares your birthday. You’re independent, free-spirited and complex. You appreciate beauty in simple things. You’re a fearless peace lover. This year your creativity and zest for life are at a pinnacle! Nurture the happiness and beauty you have within. Let your guard down and loosen up a bit. Have fun, but remember your goals.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Cut yourself some slack, because it’s a bit lacklustre due to the moon alert. Cope as best you can. Socialize in a low-key way. Focus on hobbies and creative self-expression. Baby steps.

Brilliant legacy

Conrad Sweatman 6 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

With impressionism, things can look messy when you’re eyeing the brush strikes up close. Stand back, voila, the piece comes into focus.

But with photomosaics, an image made up of hundreds of smaller photos, it’s the opposite. The closer you stand, the more images you see.

In the era of AI art, it’s all too easy to fire off a kitschy digital photomosaic. The internet is littered with mindless renderings showing, say, an image of the Statue of Liberty made up of a thousand Big Macs.

It’s another and rare thing to build a photomosaic by hand, with a genuine artist’s grasp of the form’s strange double life. This is what, for the past eight years or so, a collaborative team — in particular Edmonton-based creator and curator Larisa Sembaliuk Cheladyn, sculptor Royden Mills, Theodora Harasymiw and a group of volunteers — did for Ukrainian Voice: A Legacy Mosaic, one of four new exhibitions at the Oseredok: Ukrainian Cultural and Education Centre.

Keeyask and the future of Manitoba Hydro

Robert Parsons 5 minute read Friday, Oct. 8, 2021

A RECENT story in the Free Press (Keeyask dam increases Manitoba Hydro’s net income by $20 million, Sept. 24) highlights Manitoba Hydro’s latest annual report, including partial completion of the Keeyask project. Reported results have ramped up political rhetoric between opposition New Democrats and governing Conservatives over the merits, or folly, of Keeyask and the associated Bipole III transmission line, which was promoted and approved by the Selinger government.

Who are we now to believe, and how can we move ahead? In this case, it is important to focus on the numbers, rather than the politics, in order to better understand how to proceed. This sort of approach is termed “balanced presentation.”

The recent story shows consolidated net income at $119 million, with Keeyask specifically noted as increasing net income by $20 million. At first glance this looks good, suggesting Manitoba Hydro can readily manage its increased debt load. If you read the report more closely, however, it shows electricity and natural gas operations each lost $7 million before considering what are termed “net movements in regulatory balances.”

The positive net income thus did not come directly from operations, but rather via accounting readjustments. This makes the situation much less clear.
