MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions after 9:30 p.m. The new moon occurs in Gemini at 9:54 p.m.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

The new moon is the best day of the year for you to think about something exciting you can learn. Something interesting, fresh and different. Hopefully, it will be helpful, and at least fascinating.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

The new moon offers you a chance to think about moneymaking ideas or how you can get richer. You might see ways to make money on the side. You might see ways to take better care of things you own. Basically, you want to feather your nest in a practical way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

The new moon is in your sign, which is the best day of the year for you to take a realistic look in the mirror and ask yourself what you can do to improve the image you project into your world. Ideas? Anyone? Bueller?

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

With Mercury in your sign, you’re eager to chat with everyone. Meanwhile, Venus and Jupiter are in also in your sign making you charming and entertaining to everyone. This is a good day to think about your spiritual or religious values.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is the perfect day to think about what friendships mean to you. (It’s a rare wonderful thing to have one good friend in your life.) Have you thought about what kind of friend you are to others? The new moon encourages these reflections.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

All of us have to deal with authority figures, and the new moon is your opportunity to scrutinize how you deal with those in your life. How can you improve your relationship with parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs or the police?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This might be the best day of the year to ask yourself how you can enrich your life by learning something — or anything. Or perhaps, you can better enrich your life through travel. What can you do to expand your world? Think about this.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Each new moon is an opportunity to set intentions. The new moon is an excellent time to think about how to get out of debt. You might also think about how you handle shared property and joint responsibilities with someone. Can you improve anything?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

In a successful relationship, you must be as good for your partner as he or she is for you. The new moon is opposite your sign, offering you a chance to think about how you can improve your closest relationships. Ideas?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Confucius said “Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.” This is something to think about this new moon because it’s the only one in your house of employment all year. What can you do to make your work feel rewarding?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The new moon is your chance to ask yourself how well you’re doing at the art of living. Do you balance work and play in your life? We need both. But too much of one or the other is not ideal. Also, do you let yourself express your creativity?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

What can you do to improve your relations with family members? Likewise, what can you do to improve where you live so you are happier residing there? These are the opportunities this new moon offers you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actress Lucy Hale (1989) shares your birthday. You have a strong urge to take charge. You are confident, single-minded and tenacious. This is a pleasant year for socializing and enjoying life. Nurture the happiness you have within. Let your guard down and loosen up a bit. Have fun, but don’t lose sight of your goals.

Telecom on defensive after about 90 emergency calls fail over several hours

Chris Kitching 7 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 6:06 PM CDT

Bell Canada — Manitoba’s 911 service provider — is facing questions about reliability and redundancy measures after an hours-long outage outside Winnipeg, caused by a severed fibre optic cable, prevented dozens of calls from getting through Wednesday.

Bell spokeswoman Elise von Scheel said backup systems that reroute 911 calls when an outage occurs due to equipment damage also experienced “issues” after a third party cut the cable during construction “near Winnipeg.”

“Manitoba’s 911 system relies on legacy architecture that does not support the failsafes that newer systems have, which is why Bell is in the process of upgrading the ecosystem to next generation 911,” von Scheel wrote in an email.

“All Manitoba public safety answering points are planned to be migrated to the new system by the end of 2026. Migration to NG911 is the fastest and most effective remediation to prevent instances like this in the future.”

Selfie part of investigation into Grant Park football coach

Maggie Macintosh 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

A selfie of a high school football coach grinning beside a Free Press front-page story about the investigation into his professional conduct has become part of the case.

Doug Kovacs, a resource teacher at Grant Park High School who runs the Pirates football program, was put on leave in the spring.

The Winnipeg School Division employee is the subject of an investigation into allegations that athletes on his AAAA varsity team engaged in hazing that led to at least one player getting injured last year.

The Free Press has learned that on July 8 — the day it was revealed in print that Manitoba’s teacher commissioner had launched a third-party probe — a photo of Kovacs posing with a newspaper began circulating in the football community.
