Star Trek star John Cho turns 54 today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You have strong ideas and you want to be heard. However, be aware your logic is being influenced more than usual by your feelings. (You could be kidding yourself as well as others.) Having said that, you will feel sympathetic to family members.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

If you make a major purchase, your decisions might be driven by your feelings — not logic. Discussions with others will be warm and affectionate. Artists will be productive because they’re in touch with their muse.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Your ruler the moon is in your sign lined up with Mercury. We know you’re a sensitive person, and with Mercury lined up with the moon, it will be easy for you to express your feelings to others. (Be careful about feeling overwhelmed by small issues.) Go gently and slowly.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a romantic day for you because fair Venus is lined up with Neptune, which heightens your ideals and makes you look at others with compassion and tenderness. You might fall in love with someone and feel they are your soulmate.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your sympathy for the less-fortunate is very strong. This is caring and noble; however, don’t give away the farm, because you might have to protect your own self interest. Your ruler Mercury is lined up with the moon urging you to share your innermost thoughts with someone.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Relations with friends and even members of groups will be very warm and affectionate. In fact, you might want to help a friend in some way. You might volunteer for something. Be aware that whatever you do will be noticed by others because you’re high-viz.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Very likely, you will be admired for your good taste, appreciation of the arts and ability to sympathize with those who are less-fortunate. This could lead to lively discussions about politics, religion or racial issues. If so, be careful because you will lead with your feelings.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your appreciation of beauty is heightened, making this the perfect time to visit galleries, museums, buildings and parks. You’ll enjoy the beauty of your surroundings, and also elegant ideas. Exercise caution about important financial decisions which might be loosey-goosey.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Romance is affectionate and meaningful in a special way. You might feel you have found the perfect person for you. (And this might be the case.) You will also want to share what you have with someone less-fortunate. Remember: true generosity is giving what is needed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Enjoy warm relations with spouses, partners and friends because Venus is opposite your sign dancing with idealistic Neptune, softening the edges of all your relationships. It’s a wonderful day to socialize, enjoy the arts, sporting events, fun with kids and romantic outings.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

A work-related romance might begin. If so, it might feel like it was written in the stars. Destiny. This is a marvellous day to socialize. Accept invitations to shmooz. Enjoy sporting events and playful times with kids.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor John Cho (1972) shares your birthday. You are both adventurous and cautious. You’re imaginative, innovative, grounded and ethical. This year exciting changes will bring you increased freedom. Stay flexible. Let go of things holding you back. Seek out new opportunities and be ready to act fast. Expect to travel and expand your horizons.

Vacant Bay store on road to redevelopment, St. Vital Centre owner says

Gabrielle Piche 6 minute read Yesterday at 5:29 PM CDT

Entertainment attractions are coming to fill the former Hudson’s Bay space in St. Vital Centre.

Montreal-based real estate firm Leyad, the south Winnipeg mall’s owner, says it is finalizing an agreement for the vacant property. Further details should appear in the next couple months, said president Henry Zavriyev.

“We’re looking at what other types of experiences we can bring to the mall that aren’t just typical retail,” he said during a visit to Winnipeg this week.

“We want to create an experience where you can just come to the mall, hang out here for hours, no matter if you’re a kid, an adult, a retiree.”

For unique Menno-centric take on Free Press, satirist mines her jibes between the lines

David Sanderson 8 minute read 10:40 AM CDT

Free Press readers of a certain vintage may remember when tuning into a local radio station to hear a pair of disc jockeys perusing a section of the Saturday edition was appointment listening.

On Sunday mornings from 1962 until the mid-1980s, CKRC 630 personalities Bob Washington and Tom Ashmore — better known as Wash and Ash — entertained Winnipeggers of all ages by impersonating the likes of Dennis the Menace, Beetle Bailey and Archie Andrews, as they lent their voices to that weekend’s multi-page, colour comic insert.

In a 1984 interview, Washington, who died in 2016 at the age of 82, attributed the weekly program’s longevity to audiences enjoying the antics of “two middle-aged guys in 24 dialects, giving their version of what Dagwood is saying to Blondie, or what Hägar the Horrible is bragging about.”

More than 40 years later, another Winnipegger is turning to the Free Press for her material. Only instead of reading the paper’s funnies, Lori Klassen, a mother of three and grandmother of two, is funnily reading the paper.

Daycare grapples with five-year-old’s outbursts, choking incidents

Maggie Macintosh 4 minute read Yesterday at 6:09 PM CDT

A Windsor Park child-care facility is weighing a five-year-old’s right to care versus the safety of other children who have been choked.

Little People’s Place expelled a pre-schooler in the spring in response to his aggressive behaviour toward other children and staff.

The child’s family has appealed to the province for him to be reinstated.

The case is raising concerns about inclusion support resources and measures to protect everyone at the Cottonwood Road daycare.

A distraction for the war-weary

Gwynne Dyer 5 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

I have been writing this column twice a week for a long time, so I have a finely developed sense for when the audience is sick of a subject. We have definitely crossed that boundary with regard to the wars currently being fought up and down the strip of land between the longitudes of 40°E and 50°E (Eastern Ukraine/Persian Gulf/Israel, Gaza and Lebanon).

It’s not just that they are stupid wars, launched by men who were too ignorant or too arrogant to realize that they could not win them (Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu), and it’s certainly not because they are harmless wars.

Not only are they killing thousands of people every week, but in every case the country that started the war also has nuclear weapons. In each case there is a small but real possibility that the leader in question might resort to using at least one “tactical” nuclear weapon as a final warning rather than accept the blame for a humiliating failure to achieve his aims.

Yet nothing much new and interesting is happening from one day to the next in any of these wars, and the audience would really like to move on. I have been trying to write about something else at least once a week, so I thought: maybe I could do a piece about Kim Jong Un’s teenage daughter’s chance of being North Korea’s next dictator.

Automation reaches new heights on farm

Automation reaches new heights on farm

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

LANGHAM, Sask. — The thousands of farmers from across the Prairies who flock to the annual Ag in Motion show every July seem oblivious to the possibility the technology on display could one day replace many of them.

Families with children in tow, Hutterite colony workers, grandparents and young couples just starting out roamed through the 600 or more exhibitor displays, amazed at how everything about farming just keeps getting bigger, more efficient and increasingly more automated.

It’s now possible to seed using a 100-foot-wide drill — a 12-foot jump over the widest available a few years ago — provided the farmer can afford a tractor with enough horsepower to pull it. Those sell for around $850,000 and up.

Granted, the number of farms with enough acres to justify that kind of width and drawing power is still relatively small, but farms continue to grow. And it’s no secret the number of people who have the interest, skills and financial wherewithal to run them continues to shrink.
