MOON ALERT: Caution. Avoid shopping (except for food and gas) and important decisions all day until after 9:30 p.m. After that, the moon moves from Gemini into Cancer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Be aware of the restrictions of the moon alert — see above. This is a chatty day for you. Grab every opportunity to schmooze with friends, neighbours and relatives. In the next few weeks, you will redecorate where you live and entertain at home more.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Be aware of the restrictions of the moon alert because the moon is in your money house, tempting you to spend money. Don’t do it. Restrict spending to food and gas. Mars moves into your sign boosting your energy for the next six weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

The moon is in your sign for most of the day; however, it’s a moon alert all day. (See above.) You’re definitely tempted to shop for pretty things. Postpone this temptation until tomorrow. In the meantime, you’re keen to talk to others and share your ideas.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Fair Venus moves into your sign to stay for the next few weeks. While it’s in your sign, you’ll find it easy to be charming and diplomatic with everyone. This will also be a lovely window of time for you to shop for wardrobe goodies — but not now. (See moon alert above.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Mars moves to the top of your chart to stay for the next six weeks, arousing your ambition as never before. Because Mars will make you identify more with your work, you’ll work hard to achieve what you want. However, Mars can also create conflict with bosses.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’re high-viz. People notice you. (Some know personal details about your private life.) Mars changes signs activating your desire to travel, as well as to explore opportunities in medicine, the law, higher education and publishing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is the perfect day to do something different. Explore your own city. Take a drive in the country. Learn something new and meet people from different backgrounds. Most of this day is a moon alert, so restrict spending to food and gas.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Check the moon alert because the moon is in one of your money houses. Avoid important decisions. Restrict spending to food and gas. Mars moves opposite your sign to stay for the next six weeks, which can make you impatient with others. Go gently.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might have to go more than halfway when dealing with others, especially those who are closest to you. However, be aware of the restrictions of the moon alert. (See above.) Fortunately, you’re getting ready to work hard.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a playful, fun-loving time for you — especially for athletics and competitive sports. Today however, the moon alert (see above) might affect your work. Postpone important decisions and restrict spending to food and gas. Be smart.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

In the next few months, your home scene will be more chaotic due to visiting guests, renovations, redecorating projects or residential moves. Fortunately, work-related issues are blessed. (In fact, a work-related romance might begin.) Restrict spending to food and gas.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a quiet, gentler day. Home repairs and family discussions might take place; nevertheless, relax if you can. It’s also a lovely day to schmooze socially with others. Enjoy romance, fun outings and playful times with kids.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Writer, actress, producer Tina Fey (1970) shares your birthday. You have a straightforward approach that cuts incisively to the heart of an issue. You’re energetic, steadfast and compassionate. This is a year of service, perhaps to family. Take care of yourself so you can be a resource for those who turn to you for guidance courage and comfort.

NDP touts health-care gains, but critics question impact on ER wait times

Tom Brodbeck 5 minute read 6:00 AM CDT

Health Minister Uzoma Asagwara doesn’t mince words when describing how bad things are in the province’s emergency departments and urgent-care centres.

“The wait times that we are seeing in Manitoba are unacceptable,” said Asagwara in an interview with the Free Press.

“I hear from families, I hear from providers, I hear from Manitobans who are concerned about the wait times that they’re seeing, that they’re experiencing, and those concerns are valid — I share those concerns.”

So what is the NDP, who promised voters nearly three years ago it had the answers to bring down wait times, doing about it?

Not everyone enters medical school with a built-in study buddy.

Sisters Maya and Dana Jalal joined 135 of their classmates to don white coats and mark the beginning of their journey through the University of Manitoba’s Max Rady College of Medicine Wednesday morning.

Maya, 22, and Dana, 21, were accepted into medical school at the same time.

“Thankfully, we both got accepted in the same area, same time. So we decided we’d rather go together than apart,” Maya said. “It’ll be nice seeing different perspectives during our studies. We are siblings, but we each have our own perspectives, our own lived experiences.”

ER wait times have hit all-time highs in Winnipeg and are impacting nearly all aspects of hospital operations

Tom Brodbeck 17 minute read 6:00 AM CDT

On most days at Health Sciences Centre’s adult emergency department, all 58 treatment beds are filled with sick patients. Another dozen or so brought in by ambulance line the hallways on stretchers, with only one nurse to look after them.

Out in the waiting room, about 30 or 40 people — sometimes more — are slouched in chairs in pain or discomfort, waiting hours to see a doctor. Most have been assessed by a triage nurse, but many will have to wait 10 to 20 hours to be examined by a physician because there’s no room for them in the treatment area.

Some patients leave because they can no longer tolerate the excruciating wait, only to return days later, sicker than they were before.

Welcome to the emergency department at Manitoba’s largest hospital, where some of the highest-acuity patients seek medical care but now face delays that were unimaginable a few years ago.

Summer flooding sinks some fall harvest hopes

Tiago Resko 4 minute read 7:08 PM CDT

A number of Manitoba farmers say they are expecting this year’s harvest to be one of the worst they’ve seen after major flooding decimated fields at the start of summer.

Bob Elliot, who has been farming east of Stonewall for 43 years, said he’s expecting the operation’s 5,500 acres to produce roughly half their normal yield.

Stonewall has logged the most precipitation this summer, with 523 millimetres of rainfall between May 1 and Aug. 16, according to Manitoba’s weather conditions report.

Elliot said the amount of rain has created a “unique” situation for farmers. “This is something that I don’t think anyone around here has ever seen.”

West End business owners say their neighbourhood has been under siege for months, and some believe downtown police drug sweeps have made things worse by pushing more street disorder in their direction — and pushing customers away.
