MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping from 3:30 p.m. until 4:45 p.m. After that, the moon moves from Taurus into Gemini.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Keep an eye on your money scene because you might find cash or you might lose some. You might also have some brilliant moneymaking ideas. Likewise, protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. Trust your innovative thoughts because you’re creative and in the zone.

The Diplomat star Ato Essandoh turns 52 today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You might feel restless. This is because the moon is in your sign lined up with unpredictable Uranus. However, this energy can also charge you up so you’re ready to make a blow for your freedom. You might suddenly make a life-changing decision. (These things are possible.)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Stay on your toes because things are moving fast. You’ll be successful in talking to others; and you’ll be successful in negotiating. You will also be successful in studying, reading and writing. This includes sales and marketing. You have lots of energy and you’re ready for change.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You are primarily focused on earnings, cash flow and possibly shopping (check moon alert); nevertheless, expect to be surprised by a friend or member of a group. Someone else might do something unexpected, but it could open new doors for you? Stay ready. Get your facts.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You’re powerful with three planets in your sign. You have the edge. Plus, the moon is lined up with Uranus at the top of your chart, which ignites your independence. Something might happen that makes you want to change your direction in life. It’s exciting.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Sudden travel opportunities might drop into your lap. If so, act quickly because this window of opportunity is brief. Or you might have a chance to take a course or study. Likewise, surprise opportunities in publishing, the law and medicine might also occur. Stay on your toes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This continues to be a popular time for you especially with younger people and creative types. However, it’s wise to make friends with your bank account and other financial matters because something sudden and unexpected could impact your assets or shared property. You snooze, you lose. Stay in the know.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Expect a curveball from a friend, spouse or partner because the moon is opposite your sign lined up with unpredictable Uranus. Someone might want to change the terms of the relationship. They might want more freedom. Something is up.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You love animals. That’s why it’s important to know something unexpected could impact your pet. Therefore, be vigilant. Likewise, something unusual might impact your job. One aspect might be that you decide to quit your job to be self-employed. (Could be anything.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Parents should be vigilant because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Know where they are at all times. Be careful of electrical dangers. Meanwhile, social plans might be cancelled or delayed; or you might receive an exciting, surprise invitation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your home routine will change. A small appliance might break down or a minor outage could occur. Someone unexpected might knock on your door — it could be anything. Or you might break free from an oppressive situation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is a potentially accident-prone day for you. On the upside, you might do something bold and different. You might speak up for yourself and demand what you want. It’s an unpredictable day.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Ato Essandoh (1972) shares your birthday. You’re independent, energetic and positive. Many of you assume a leadership role. You believe in the greatest good for the greatest number. This is a wonderful year when your efforts will be rewarded. Expect a promotion, kudos and the acknowledgement of your peers. The spotlight is on you.

Gang member who shot rival, bystander back in prison after release revoked

Erik Pindera 4 minute read Yesterday at 11:34 PM CDT

A Winnipeg man who shot a rival teenage gangster and an innocent 11-year-old bystander at the crowded Red River Exhibition more than four years ago has been sent back to prison.

Mocree Chuck Scatch-Dubour, now in his early 20s, left prison in April on statutory release on his 5 1/2-year federal sentence for the 2022 shooting. Scatch-Dubour was sentenced to the prison term as an adult in the spring of 2023 after pleading guilty to discharge of a firearm with intent to wound, aggravated assault and possession of a restricted firearm.

By law, most federal inmates automatically receive statutory release after two-thirds of their sentence, if they have not already been paroled.

Parole Board of Canada officials formally revoked Scatch-Dubour’s release this month after he unlawfully left his halfway house in June.

MOON ALERT: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Scorpio.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Tread carefully as it’s easy to get into an argument, especially with your kids or even a romantic partner. Very likely the dispute will be about mutual expenses, shared property or perhaps differing values. Do what you can to keep the peace.

Fire destroys St. Boniface housing unit

By Matthew Frank 3 minute read Updated: 4:48 PM CDT

A six-unit housing development in St. Boniface was levelled by fire Tuesday.

The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service was notified at 4:50 a.m. that the site on the 800 block of Archibald Street, near Elizabeth Road, was on fire, a city spokesperson said in an email. No injuries were reported.

Firefighters had the blaze under control by about 6:15 a.m. after using an aerial ladder to tackle the flames from above and protect nearby homes, the spokesperson said.

At the site, no signs were present to identify the construction company or developer. The fences of neighbouring homes were burned and rooftop shingles were singed. Ash and fire-retardant foam littered the lawns.

A question of public utility

Tom Pearson 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

The editorial page of the Free Press often provides perspectives that are thought-provoking and sometimes contradictory. Keeping the lights on, (Oct. 5) by Hal Turner and Wasteful operations should be held accountable, (Oct. 6) by Barry Prentice are both thought-provoking. They are not contradictory because they cover two quite different topics. Where they differ is in their delivery and the quality of the underlying facts.

Mr. Turner provides what is, in my view, the most cogent rationale for gas-fuelled generation that I have read. He highlights the essential aspect of power supply to Manitobans. He supports the argument for natural gas generation with succinct, relatable facts and anecdotes relating to what other comparable utilities have done. He states that, “Manitoba Hydro’s experts are neither anti-wind nor pro-fossil fuel.” They are simply seeking the best possible solution for Manitobans — a fact many special-interest groups either ignore or sadly, impugn.

Although some would argue the contrary, I believe that Mr. Turner’s position and longevity in the Manitoba Hydro organization lend gravitas to his column. Mr. Turner understands that “keeping the lights on” is a non-negotiable requirement and a public trust.

Before I turn to Mr. Prentice’s column, I should disclose that before I retired (it’s been a while), I was responsible at different times for Winnipeg’s regional water system and subsequently water supply from source to tap. In that context I was also responsible for the operation of the Greater Winnipeg Water District (GWWD) railway. Like Mr. Turner’s perspective on the supply of electricity to Manitobans, I regard the supply of safe drinking water to Winnipeggers as a public trust.

Woman accused of pulling handgun on taxi driver

1 minute read Yesterday at 10:39 AM CDT

A 45-year-old woman accused of pulling a handgun on a Winnipeg taxi driver is facing multiple firearms-related charges.

It happened Sunday afternoon, at about 2:30 p.m., near the intersection of Concordia Avenue and Louelda Street. Officers learned a woman got into a cab in the Munroe East neighbourhood and pulled out a handgun, asking the driver to take her to a specific location, the Winnipeg Police Service stated in a news release.

The taxi driver activated the taxi's emergency beacon, exited the vehicle, and contacted police.

The woman got into the driver's seat of the taxi, but the keys had been removed, and she fled on foot. A suspect was arrested shortly afterward in the 1000 block of Concordia Avenue. Police seized a .22-calibre handgun during the arrest.
