Only Murders in the Building star Selena Gomez turns 34 today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

It’s best to go along to get along when dealing with spouses, partners and close friends. Over the next four weeks, your involvement with home, family and a parent will increase. Look for ways to make your home more comfortable. Enjoy relaxing in familiar surroundings.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

The pace of your days will accelerate in the next four weeks because suddenly you have places to go, things to do and people to see. Enjoy interacting with siblings, neighbours and relatives. Everyone wants to see your face.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Tomorrow Mercury ceases being retrograde in your sign, which is a great relief. You will find your focus on money, earnings and cash flow will increase in the next four weeks. Look for ways to boost your income because this is your year to get richer.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

The sun enters your sign to stay for the next four weeks. (Happens once a year.) This is favourable for you. It will energize you and give you a chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. Expect good fortune, especially with lucky Jupiter in your sign.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your personal year is coming to an end, which is why the next four weeks will be a quiet time for you. It’s an excellent window for you to define future goals because goals give you a clearer focus on what is important. Goals also give you a sense of purpose.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your popularity will increase in the next four weeks. Get out and enjoy shmoozing. (You’ll welcome this because you are the most social sign of the zodiac.) You might join groups as well as see friends. This is also an excellent time to define future goals.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’ll look great to authority figures in the next four weeks because the sun is at the top of your chart. This happens once a year and symbolizes you being thrust into a flattering spotlight. You impress everyone. This is the time to go after what you want.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Grab every opportunity to travel and expand your world in the next four weeks. If you can’t travel then be a tourist in your own city. You can also expand your world through further education, books, film and talking to people from other backgrounds.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You can get richer or benefit in some way through the wealth and resources of someone else (perhaps a partner) not only this year, but in the next four weeks. Bear this in mind and keep your pockets open.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

For the next four weeks, you will need more sleep than usual. Accept this. Don’t fight it. Take naps or get more rest when you can. You might also focus on partners, spouses and close friendships more than usual. It’s just what’s happening.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Good news. You’ll be eager to work hard in the next four weeks simply because you’re motivated. This energy and drive will come out of the blue. Use it to your advantage so you can improve your job or get a better one.

Sex sounds in stereo a sad score for singleton

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I just moved into a big old house with two buddies who curl and play hockey with me. They have girlfriends, but I don’t.

I thought they’d be staying at their girlfriends’ places on nights they were “sleeping” together, but oh no!

So now I get to listen to the duelling sex noises of two couples, on weekends and some weeknights as well.

Do I have any rights here? I really don’t want to admit defeat and move back in with my parents, when feels like I just moved out. But it’s really uncomfortable to be the only guy with no sex life in this household, and then having to hear it, while it’s happening.

Gas turbine peaker plants are a mistake

Don Scott 7 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Technology respecting electricity generation, storage and grid management is rapidly advancing and displacing gas-fired peaker plants. New battery storage systems are more efficient and less costly, smooth grid flow and are non-polluting. Texas, California and Australia are replacing gas turbine peaker plants with more effective storage batteries.

Solar and wind energy generation combined with battery storage at both the grid and home/business level is the most efficient way to meet peak demand. Building expensive, outdated, polluting American gas turbines, as Manitoba Hydro is proposing, is not in Manitoba’s interest.

Premier Wab Kinew noted that a final decision to build a new turbine power plant in Brandon has not been made. I hope he’s correct, for if Manitoba Hydro already made the decision and entered binding financial obligations with GE Vernova, the PUB’s role was superfluous.

In 2025/26 Nova Scotia Power installed 3 x 50 MW Lithium-ion grid batteries with the storage capacity of over 600 MWh. Installed by Kitchener/Waterloo based Canadian Solar’s subsidiary e-Storage who have operations around the world, they accomplished this in less than two years from the approval date in June 2024. Two were operational within 18 months, the third in 24. The cost was $237 million. At Nova Scotia’s cost per MW, a 750 MW battery peaker facility would cost Hydro $1.185 billion, just 40 per cent of the proposed $3 billion gas peaker plant.

Man gets 18 year sentence for sex assault that impregnated teen girl

Tessa Adamski 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

BRANDON — A 29-year-old man has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for sexually abusing and impregnating a 14-year-old girl in 2024.

“Sexual abuse of a child is inherently a grave violation of the child’s bodily integrity, dignity, and security, and in this case, the consequences were compounded by the victim’s pregnancy and the need to undergo a termination,” Brandon provincial court Judge Patrick Sullivan said on Tuesday.

The accused had pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual interference and two counts of breaching a court order banning him from contacting anyone under 18.

A publication ban prohibits the publication of information that could identify the 14-year-old, who is from a western Manitoba First Nation, and two other minors with whom he communicated.

A community brought the Trident Press home

Stephen Borys 6 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

A truck pulled up outside Oseredok a few weeks ago carrying more than an exhibition.

Inside were the panels of Ukrainian Voice: A Legacy Mosaic, a monumental artwork built from the printing blocks once used to reproduce the photographs and illustrations in one of Canada’s longest-running Ukrainian newspapers.

A dozen people gathered to unload it. Some were longtime members of Winnipeg’s Ukrainian community; others were newcomers who had arrived since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Together, they lifted, unpacked and carried the panels through Oseredok’s doors.

It was an ordinary act of volunteer labour, but also a fitting final stage in an extraordinary journey. More than a century ago, Ukrainian newcomers created the newspaper whose printing blocks form the mosaic. Now another generation of newcomers was helping bring that history home.

Teenage e-scooter driver in critical condition after crash

Chris Kitching 6 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 5:50 PM CDT

A teenager riding an e-scooter suffered life-threatening injuries when he was struck by an SUV in southwest Winnipeg on Monday night.

Witnesses provided first aid to the injured rider, who police said is under 18, after the collision happened at Waverley Street and Arbour Meadow Gate/Lake Crest Road at about 9:30 p.m.

“It feels like it happened in slow motion,” said driver Audrey Vanderspek, who was waiting at a red light when she witnessed the incident. “Maybe it’s because you’re helpless, that it just feels like everything slows down in the moment.”

Police said the electric scooter rider was crossing Waverley and was hit by a southbound 2010 Honda CR-V. The posted speed limit on that stretch of Waverley is 70 kilometres per hour.
