ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is a fantastic day to travel and do anything to expand your world. Sporting events, kids’ activities, the theatre or the arts will be exciting choices. You’ll also feel sympathetic to people in other nations. You might even act on this feeling in a practical way.

Night at the Museum star Steve Coogan turns 61 today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You are the financial wizard of the zodiac and this is an excellent day for financial negotiations and discussions about shared property, mortgages, taxes, debt and inheritances. You’ll be sympathetic but practical. You might improve things with home and family.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You might attract someone very interesting to you — this person might be logical, informed and sensitive. They might have bright ideas they express very directly. In turn, you’ll feel revved up by these conversations and perhaps will come forth with your own clever suggestions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You might be in a position to help someone or put the needs and wants of another before your own. You might be financially generous or see ways to encourage others to be helpful. Whatever you do will likely earn the respect of others. (Hey, good press is always nice.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a high-energy, playful day. Enjoy shmoozing with friends. Sporting events, fun activities with kids, the entertainment world and spending time with others will be great choices. Do something that pleases you. Romance with someone of an age difference might happen.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might make some home improvements or pay bills and secure your dwelling in a better way. Instead of domestic upgrades, this could translate into helping a family member, as well. Stock the fridge as your home routine might change.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You will negotiate strongly on your own behalf, or for anything you want to do. You might represent a group or friend. Not only will you be persuasive and charming, you’ll also be practical and sensible. Whatever you do, you will do with a keen balance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Financial discussions will go well. You might see ways to boost your income. At work, you will persevere and you won’t overlook details because your mind is focused and ready to create order out of chaos. People will listen to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You’re in the driver’s seat because the moon is in your sign dancing beautifully with Mars, Saturn and Neptune. You know what you want to achieve and you will do so even if you are interrupted by someone unusual and unexpected.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might use the resources of someone else, perhaps a partner, to help someone in need. This person in need might be a family member, or they could be someone far way in a distant land. Lately, you are involved with creative, younger people, perhaps from your past.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might attract someone a bit aggressive to you. However, this person might help you deal with friends and groups to get things done, especially if you want to help someone in need. (This isn’t surprising because you strive to make the world a better place.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You’re high-viz, which means people notice you. They see you as sympathetic, strong and proactive, which is a good thing. This puts you in a position where you can convince others to listen to your ideas and perhaps jump on your bandwagon and fight for a worthy cause.

Hockey teams scramble after two city arenas put on ice

Instead of ice, Barry Bonni walks onto a dull concrete surface at the Terry Sawchuk Memorial Arena on Thursday.

The arena, as well as the West Kildonan Memorial Arena, have had to close after failing inspections. Predictably, the city’s hockey community is in a tailspin because ice time is so precious.

“We’re now in panic mode,” said Bonni, president of the River East Royal Knights on Thursday. The Sawchuk arena is the team’s home rink.

Bonni, who is a living legend in Manitoba’s hockey community, said the Manitoba Major Junior Hockey League club is scrambling to find ice time.

Diesel bill adds to cost-price squeeze on farm

Laura Rance-Unger 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

Blessed with a week of good weather, most Manitoba farmers are now in the home stretch of harvest and beginning to assess whether their crop will earn enough to cover the cost of growing it.

Commodity market prices have surged well above the numbers used to prepare production budgets earlier this year, with the price of top-quality milling wheat up 27 per cent over a year ago. Canola and soybeans are up 36 per cent and oats by 14 per cent.

That’s a significant boost for the crops harvested in good shape before rainy weather shut down operations for a couple of weeks during the critical harvesting window. However, upwards of half of the province’s crop overall was affected by the bad weather, resulting in yet-to-be calculated yield and quality losses.

Then there’s the cost side of the balance sheet.

Province must also retain docsRe: Ottawa offers $6M to hire 90 new doctors (Oct. 15)

The federal government’s $6 million commitment to help Manitoba recruit up to 90 additional family doctors by 2028–29 is welcome news, but it should not be mistaken for a solution to the province’s persistent physician shortage.

The question is not simply how many doctors Manitoba can recruit, but how many it can retain —and whether patients will actually have better access to care as a result.

Expanding the practice-ready assessment program for internationally trained physicians is a sensible step. These doctors bring valuable skills and experience, and a more efficient licensing pathway can help address staffing shortages, particularly in rural, northern and Indigenous communities. However, recruitment alone cannot compensate for a health-care system that struggles to retain the physicians it already has.

Double-down on fun pursuits to sidestep bets

Maureen Scurfield 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:00 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I get a big kick out of my new mother-in-law who enjoys going out with her girlfriends to “gamble away the family fortune.”

She’s taken me out with these older ladies on the weekends and has even given me some “fun money” to blow. We often share the winnings — if there are any. That’s the part that really sets my husband’s teeth on edge.

We’re so newly married I still tell my man everything, but I am learning. This week he said he doesn’t want me training with his mom and her crazy gambling buddies.

My husband really should take a look in the mirror before criticizing others, as he himself loves betting on the horses. I don’t complain about his betting. The truth is I find him and his whole family a lot more interesting than my own relations, who are too strait-laced, religious and boring for my liking.

Jets salvage point in Chicago

Mike McIntyre 7 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 6:16 AM CDT

CHICAGO — Ever have one of those days where you should have just stayed in bed? That pretty much sums up how Thursday went for the Winnipeg Jets here in the Windy City.

It began with the bad news that top defenceman Josh Morrissey’s wrist issue is more serious than feared, and he likely won’t be back in the lineup any time soon. Then, veteran forward Vlad Namestnikov, coming off his best game of the young season, crashed into the boards at the end of morning skate, suffering an upper-body injury that sent him to the sidelines.

Off to the game itself, which began with Dylan DeMelo hitting the post on the first shift, a parade of Winnipeg penalties helping the home team build a healthy early lead and, last and certainly least, an eventual 4-3 overtime loss at United Center.

It actually could have been worse.
