MOON ALERT: Caution! Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions after 9 a.m. today. After that, the moon moves from Libra into Scorpio.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Discussions with partners, spouses and close friends will be exciting but unpredictable. You might also meet a real character — someone exciting. Alternatively, someone you know might do something to surprise you. Check moon alert!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Issues related to your pet are unpredictable. (Be vigilant, because this is an accident-prone time for your animals.) Meanwhile, this is a high-energy and a playful day! Write down your excellent ideas, but don’t initiate anything until tomorrow.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You are in touch with your muse, which is why you’re full of creative ideas and spontaneous energy! Surprise invitations might come your way. Social plans might suddenly change. Guard against sports accidents. Parents should be extra vigilant with their kids.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Your home routine might be interrupted. A small appliance might break down, a minor outage could occur or someone unexpected might be at your door? Get dressed and stay light on your feet. Be aware of the moon alert. (See above.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You’re thinking outside of the box, coming up with imaginative, original ideas! Your daily routine might change. Pay attention to everything you say and do to avoid accidents. Expect to see new places and meet new faces. Check moon alert!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Keep an eye on your money and possessions to guard against loss, theft or damage. This is a day full of unpredictable events; in addition to which, there’s a moon alert! Restrict spending to food and gas. Stay on your toes!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Mercury is in your sign dancing with unpredictable Uranus, which makes you feel alive and mentally alert! You might suddenly travel. You might see solutions to old problems because new ideas are firing in your mind. Take note: There’s a moon alert. Postpone shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions until tomorrow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a popular time for you. This day in particular, you feel restless, which is why you might change your mind and your plans. People want to see you because with fair Venus in your sign, you’re very charming and diplomatic. Be aware of the restrictions of the moon alert. (See above.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your arrangement with a friend or group might suddenly change. Something might be cancelled, or possibly be initiated? You might also take a new approach to some of your goals. Be careful, because there is a moon alert, which is a poor time for important decisions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Someone in authority — a parent, boss, teacher, VIP or the police — might do something that catches you off-guard. Be prepared for this. There is also a moon alert, which means it’s a poor time for shopping (except food and gas) and for decisions. Be patient.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Ideas are flying through the air! This is why discussions about politics, religion and racial issues might be wild and erratic. Agree to nothing important because most of this day is a moon alert. (See above.) Nevertheless, you can be productive.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

When it comes to banking and shared property, keep your eyes open because something unexpected could impact your assets. Postpone important decisions and spending because of the moon alert. Enjoy socializing! Grab opportunities to travel. Romance with someone “different” is likely.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Jean Smart (1951) shares your birthday. You’re self-sufficient, sensitive, determined and driven. You’re also positive and good-humoured. Exciting changes will lead to increased personal freedom this year. Stay flexible. Let go of whatever impedes your progress. Seek out new opportunities and be ready to act fast. Expect to travel and make new friends.

Police cracking down on gangs, organized crime in bars and lounges

Patrons can expect to see more police officers in and around bars and lounges in the coming months as the Winnipeg Police Service plans to crack down on gangs and organized crime.

Uniformed officers will be patrolling bars, lounges and other licensed establishments, targeting gang members and people associated with organized crime. Priority will be given to those who pose the greatest risk to public safety, WPS said in a news release Tuesday.

“We’ve seen — time and time again — where people involved in gangs, in organized crime, attract violence or commit violence, on people who they would perceive as their rivals,” Insp. Josh Ewatski, who heads the service’s organized crime unit said, noting the plan was in the works for a while.

He said while there was no specific incident that resulted in the new push, but said violence — including stabbings, assaults and shootings — over the years is behind the move.

Winnipeg, police and downtown crime

Editorial 3 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

A safer downtown is not much use if people are still afraid to walk there.

That is the uncomfortable message from Winnipeg’s latest police citizen survey, and one city council should take seriously.

Downtown crime has fallen this year, according to the most recent police statistics. Violent crime is down even more. But for most Winnipeggers, the downtown still feels like a place to avoid, particularly after dark.

Only 44 per cent of survey respondents said they feel very or reasonably safe walking alone downtown during the day. At night, that number plunges to just eight per cent. Among women, it is an appalling three per cent, compared with 14 per cent of men.

Federal Court awards OCN $27M, 62 years after construction of hydro dam

Nicole Buffie 4 minute read Yesterday at 6:34 PM CDT

The Federal Court has ordered Ottawa pay Opaskwayak Cree Nation $27 million over damages suffered due to the construction of the Grand Rapids hydro dam in the 1960s.

In a decision dated Sept. 3, Federal Court Justice Sébastien Grammond says the federal government had a fiduciary duty to protect the community from the impacts of the dam.

“When the Crown exercises a discretionary power over an Indigenous interest, it has a fiduciary duty and it must exercise the discretion in the best interests of the Indigenous group,” the ruling said. “Canada breached its fiduciary duty to OCN because it approved the (project) without ensuring that the impacts of the Grand Rapids dam on OCN’s traditional way of life were mitigated or compensated.”

The First Nation took the federal government to court in February over impacts on the community after the dam, located about 145 kilometres southeast of Opaskwayak Cree Nation, was installed on the Saskatchewan River in 1964. The case was heard over 14 days in a judge-alone trial in Winnipeg.

Rogers, Telus deny blame for June twister alert barrage

Malak Abas 3 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 7:21 AM CDT

Telecom companies say they aren’t to blame for the barrage of tornado alerts Manitobans received during severe thunderstorms in early June.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission announced in August it would investigate the unusually high number of alerts, and called on the Pelmorex Corp., which operates the national Alert Ready system, along with telecom companies Bell, Rogers and Telus to respond to a number of questions.

They were given until last Friday to describe their possible roles in the creation, receipt, processing or distribution of alerts issued from Environment and Climate Change Canada in the midst of the June 9 storm.

Telus said in its response that it received 133 alert requests targeted to Manitoba created by Environment Canada and forwarded by Pelmorex between 2:35 p.m. June 9 and 3:29 a.m. the following day. While the majority of those messages contained identical information and were automatically suppressed, 17 were ultimately sent out as alerts in Winnipeg.

Food literacy curriculum on the menu

Maggie Macintosh 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

Manitoba has a new recipe for health class and “food literacy” is a key ingredient.

The in-class portion of phys-ed has historically involved lessons about puberty, the risks of consuming drugs and dissecting Canada’s food guide.

A new pilot program asks teachers to expand their nutrition units and include in-depth discussions about how everything from diet culture to food insecurity affects eating habits.

“This is really moving beyond a conception of food as only fuel, where you just boil down food to its calories, its vitamins,” said Sarah Elvins, a food historian at the University of Manitoba who researches popular culture and marketing.
