MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping and important decisions until 1 p.m. After that, the moon moves from Aries into Taurus.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Tread carefully, especially if you’re involved in financial discussions or even shopping for something important. You might find yourself at odds with someone. Perhaps they’re jealous of you. Fortunately, you’re in a practical frame of mind, so you will prevail.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

This is a poor day to deal with authority figures — bosses, parents, VIPs and the police. People are a bit uneasy. Furthermore, they are not forthcoming. Instead, people want to keep secrets. Meanwhile, discussions with children and social situations will flow smoothly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Keep a low profile. Things are a bit tense out there and some people will not be co-operative. Furthermore, they will withhold information. Fortunately, family discussions will be positive and your involvement in home businesses and residential repairs will be productive.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Be patient with friends as well as with members of clubs and organizations because power struggles might erupt. Basically, people are a bit distrustful and wary of each other, which is why some people will not be disclosing. Fortunately, discussions with neighbours, friends and relatives are solid.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You can impress bosses, parents and people in authority with your moneymaking ideas. In fact, you might convince someone to make a major expenditure. Nevertheless, discussions with partners, friends and spouses could be tense. Stay chill. Some things will work; and other things will not. Tiptoe through the tulips.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Mercury is in your sign dancing beautifully with the moon, which improves all your communications with others. Trust your intuition. Find someone who wants to listen to you because you feel talkative. However, steer clear of controversial subjects. Forewarned is forearmed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Research will go well, especially related to shared property, financial matters and inheritances. Nevertheless, these same areas might trigger a block or challenges when dealing with your kids or a romantic partner. Therefore, pick and choose your words today. Be careful.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You make a great impression on others with the sun and fair Venus at the top of your chart. Furthermore, interactions with friends and groups will be positive and supportive. Nevertheless, be tactful in discussions with spouses, partners and close friends to avoid disputes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a solid day to discuss important issues with parents and bosses, especially if they’re related to your work, your health or even a pet. However, you might find yourself at odds with a spouse, partner or everyday contacts over a different issue. It’s a tricky day. Assume nothing and listen carefully to everyone to avoid difficulties.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Be diplomatic when talking to your kids. Try to avoid meltdowns and hissy fits. (Remember — you’re the adult.) This is an excellent day to make travel plans or to study or learn something new. Romance with someone “different” might be percolating. Interactions with other cultures will be positive.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Be patient with family members (especially female relatives) to avoid disputes. However, discussions about shared assets and property, loans and banking will go well. Go with what works and avoid what doesn’t. Use your common sense and you will instinctively know what to do.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You need to talk to others because you have something to say. Fortunately, conversations with partners and close friends will be agreeable. Nevertheless, someone or something going on behind the scenes could create problems. Secrets might be revealed. Or perhaps you feel you can’t trust someone.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (1970) shares your birthday. You are energetic and passionate. You are also practical and have excellent organizational skills. This is a year of service for you, especially to family. Therefore, it’s important to take care of yourself first so you can be of help to others. Time for a makeover?

Residents fear mailbox crime sprees

Morgan Modjeski 4 minute read Saturday, Aug. 22, 2026

Some North End residents are concerned new community mailboxes will become a target for vandalism and crime after the base of one was recently lit ablaze — before it was even installed.

The community mailboxes started to show up on Andrews Street within the last two weeks. Some have been installed, while at other locations, only the concrete foundation is in place.

“They just dumped them on the boulevard,” said Stephen Giesbrecht, who lives beside one of the boxes in the St. John’s neighbourhood. “They dumped them on the corner and then they were gone.”

One of the concrete slabs has already played host to a fire and some of the hardware needed to install the mailbox melted.

H.P. Tergesen & Sons General Market surpasses 127 years as family-run business in Gimli

Aaron Epp 7 minute read 6:00 AM CDT

GIMLI — Walk into the store. Meander past the clothing, candy and candles. Find him in the corner, his eyes scanning the bookshelves, a smile on his face as a half-dozen people explore this side of the shop.

Wearing grey shorts and a light blue shirt, Stefan Tergesen, the fourth-generation proprietor of H.P. Tergesen & Sons General Market, is explaining his vision for what’s widely recognized as the oldest general store in Western Canada.

“First and foremost, I want everybody to enjoy being in here,” he says. “I want you at some point to look and go, ‘Oh, cool!’ after seeing something that gets your blood flowing.”

If you ever find yourself on the west side of Lake Winnipeg, some 80 kilometres north of Manitoba’s capital, and you realize you forgot to pack something, there’s a good chance you’ll find it at Tergesen’s.

City’s landfill gas project hasn’t gained any steam after four years

City’s landfill gas project hasn’t gained any steam after four years

Joyanne Pursaga 5 minute read 5:45 PM CDT

Four years after the city started working on a proposal to convert potent landfill gases into renewable energy, a lack of buyers is being blamed for holding the project up.

In March 2022, city council directed staff to complete a deal with Integrated Gas Recovery Services, which would see Winnipeg become a raw landfill gas supplier and potentially earn millions of dollars of new revenue.

If city council approved the proposed contract, the reuse of landfill gas would then replace the city’s current practice of flaring — burning as it’s released — the vast majority of methane produced at Brady Road landfill.

However, the effort has faced a few different roadblocks since it began.

Woman pleads guilty in toddler’s death

Erik Pindera 3 minute read 6:00 AM CDT

A woman who pleaded guilty to failing to provide the necessaries of life after her 13-month-old son died of an drug overdose in their Sherbrook Street apartment will serve a sentence of house arrest.

Latasha Stewart, in her mid-30s, was given the conditional sentence order of two years less a day by provincial court Judge Malcolm McDonald last Wednesday over the Dec. 29, 2022 death of her son Romeo.

“The circumstances in this case are truly tragic. As a result of an adult’s careless drug use, a 13-month-old boy lost his life,” said McDonald.

“It’s hard to imagine a clearer … lesson in the dangers of street-drug use in a household with young children present (than) in this case.”

‘Menu of options’: Manitoba to follow Ottawa on tariff impact supports

Gabrielle Piché 5 minute read 5:42 PM CDT

The Manitoba government is considering a “menu of options” for tariff-hit businesses as some companies watch sales fall off a cliff.

Business Minister Jamie Moses convened with the province’s U.S. Trade Council on Monday — two days after 50 per cent tariffs rolled out on US$20-billion worth of Canadian exports to the United States.

Tax deferrals and loans are on the “menu of options” the province is considering, Moses said before the meeting. More details should come later this week, he added.

He’s waiting for a federal announcement: the feds are expected to share details Tuesday about supports for tariff-impacted companies.
