MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions after 1:30 p.m. The moon is in Virgo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Even though your work routine might be interrupted, this is a productive day. Parents should be extra vigilant because this could be an accident-prone day for kids. Social plans might suddenly change. Athletes should be careful to avoid injuries.

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke turns 58 today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Parents should be vigilant to avoid accidents with their kids. You might impulsively socialize with someone or conversely, you might cancel plans. You’ll put out a lot of energy to tackle home improvements. (You might even surprise yourself.)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Stay light on your feet because your daily routine might change. A small appliance might break down, a minor outage could occur or someone surprising might appear at your door. You’re full of clever ideas. (Guard against accidents.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is potentially an accident-prone day. Keep an eye on your possessions and money to avoid loss, theft or damage. (Something unexpected.) Guard against impulse purchases, especially during the moon alert.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You’re restless and impatient because you want new thrills and chills. This is why you might be impulsive and do whatever you can to break free of your daily routine. Guard against impulse spending, which is likely. Be aware of the restrictions of the moon alert.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’re eager for something fresh and different. You want to see new places and meet new faces. You certainly want to learn new things. Fortunately, with both Mercury and Venus in your house of communications, you’ll charm everyone you meet.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a restless day for you. However, you’re not the only one, because it’s very likely a friend or member of a group will do something to catch you off-guard. Yes, it’s that kinda day — unpredictable. (Your inner rebel wants to break free.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be aware that you might be surprised by authority figures. Forewarned is forearmed. Likewise, a friend or member of a group might surprise you as well, or catch you off-guard in some way. Or perhaps, you will meet someone who is unusual.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Authority figures are unpredictable. Plans related to travel, higher education, publishing, medicine and the law might suddenly change. Or you might bulldoze your way into a situation that matters to you. That’s because it’s easy to be impatient with restrictions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Keep an eye on issues related to banking, inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt because something unexpected might occur. You’re certainly willing to stand up for your rights and defend your best interests. Travel is unpredictable. Friendships are cosy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might attract someone to you who is suddenly aggressive or in-your-face. This might relate to an unexpected situation related to shared expenses, jointly held property or inheritances. It might even relate to taxes or debt. Be aware that your relations with authority figures are smooth and supportive. Great.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your work routine might be interrupted. Likewise, relations with partners and close friends are also subject to change and surprises. This is because people feel impulsive. You want to break free of any restrictions. Personally, you would love to travel for pleasure and do anything for a change of scenery. (Well, not anything.)

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Musician Thom Yorke (1968) shares your birthday. You are engaging, determined and assertive. You have strong beliefs and reactions. This is the final year of a nine-year cycle for you. Take inventory of your life. Let go of people, places and things that have held you back. Do some internal and external housecleaning. Commune with nature.

Alberta’s gopher museum closed until further notice as owners find new facility

A quirky Alberta roadside attraction that has delighted travellers for decades with its stuffed rodents in tiny costumes is closed until further notice. 

The World Famous Gopher Hole Museum, located in Torrington, a hamlet about 120 kilometres north of Calgary, made the announcement online earlier this week.

Laural Kurta, museum director, said she was forced to close the doors because the two historical buildings that house the exhibits need to be replaced. 

"We have done every patch repair, staple, spackle, everything we could possibly do, and it is just at its end," Kurta said in an interview Tuesday.

Release police HQ report: Klein

Joyanne Pursaga 5 minute read Yesterday at 8:49 PM CDT

Mayoral candidate Kevin Klein is lobbying the province to release the final report from the public inquiry into the Winnipeg Police Service headquarters before the upcoming municipal election.

Klein wrote to the provincial government to request that the information be shared promptly and before Winnipeg voters go to the polls on Oct. 28.

A Thursday CBC report stated the document is finished, “has been sent to the printer” and submitted to the province but isn’t expected to be publicly released until after Winnipeg’s Oct. 28 municipal election.

“It’s all about accountability. The report is done. People have waited (many) years,” said Klein.

Winnipeg more than its worst headlines

Marwa Suraj 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Winnipeg takes a reputational beating sometimes and some of the criticism is deserved.

Concerns about public safety are real. Homelessness remains painfully visible. Too many people are struggling with addiction, poverty, mental illness and inadequate housing in plain sight.

Those concerns deserve to be taken seriously. But a city can be making measurable progress, struggling badly in other areas and still be reduced unfairly to its worst headlines. Winnipeg deserves neither denial nor caricature.

Take public safety.

Can’t cut your way to being a better city

Molly McCracken 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

The powers that be in Winnipeg have pushed for cheap property taxes for decades. As a result, the city doesn’t have enough money to balance the books, let alone maintain infrastructure, deliver services and respond to challenges like homelessness and the toxic drug crisis.

Winnipeg’s fiscal problem stems from decades of keeping property-tax increases below inflation and relying on inadequate revenues to fund a growing city. The result? Today, Winnipeg spends less money per person on city services than it did in 2001.

A look at the books at city hall is stark. Winnipeg has run a deficit almost every year since the COVID-19 pandemic because of climate-change-driven heavy ice and snowstorms, higher fuel costs and increased policing overtime. During this time, city council tried to cut and freeze public service spending where it could; as a result, community services have been cut to the bone.

Departments responsible for what makes a city a good place to live have been squeezed. Since 1999, community services — responsible for libraries, recreation, swimming lessons and aspects of Winnipeg’s poverty-reduction work — has 149 fewer staff positions, an 18 per cent reduction, even as the city’s population has grown 35 per cent, or by 220,000 people.

Province to fund livestock cop to cut down on theft

Connor McDowell 3 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 1:08 PM CDT

BRANDON — The Manitoba government will fund a new RCMP position dedicated to investigating livestock theft.

The province made the announcement Thursday.

Agriculture Minister Ron Kostyshyn said the investigative role will fill a pressing need.

“Personally speaking, I think this has been a long time waiting for this to come to reality,” the Dauphin MLA said Wednesday. “We are doing a great thing for the industry.”
