ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is a wonderful day for family discussions, home improvements and repairs. You’re so enthusiastic about a special project, you’re willing to spend money to make it happen. Meanwhile, plans related to travel, higher education, medicine and the law look feasible. You see the light at the end of the tunnel and it’s not a train.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You’re bursting with energy, which is why you’re physically pumped and enthusiastic in all your conversations with others. You’re extremely convincing, which is why others will follow your lead. It’s also a great day to tie up loose ends about shared property, taxes and inheritances.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Serious discussions with partners and close friends will go well, especially regarding long-range plans for the future. Secretly, you feel your finances are picking up. Things are taking shape and you feel richer. It’s easy to enjoy this day.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

The day is full of wonderful opportunities for you. Whatever you do will likely expand your world. Get out and talk to others. Get involved with groups and organizations. People want your input because they respect you — especially at work. Make something happen.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a marvellous, feel-good day. Enjoy shmoozing because people will be attracted to your energy. Discussions with kids might be serious but they will also be productive. Creative projects will go well because you’re focused. (Romance with someone of an age difference might occur.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’re popular with others because everyone wants to see your face. You might also be influential in groups and organizations. This is an excellent time to define goals. A discussion with a family member might be serious but it will be practical and productive.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You make a fabulous impression on others. People see you as successful, affluent and popular. Use this to your advantage and accept any request for increased responsibilities because you will shine. If you have to learn something new, you will apply yourself. (It will be easy.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

It’s the day to explore opportunities in publishing, medicine, the law and anything to do with higher education as well as travel. So many options. What supports these opportunities are some sensible, financial decisions you can make right now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Roll up your sleeves and get as much done as possible at work because you’ll be successful. Work-related travel is likely for many of you. One reason for the success of this day is the fact your mind is clear, focused and detail-oriented. You know what you want to achieve.

NUTIMIK LAKE — Twenty-four hours after the body of 10-year-old Maximo Au Ramirez was located in Nutimik Lake, searchers found the body of his 13-year-old brother, Aaron, who had gone into the water to rescue Maximo after he slipped in Saturday.

The announcement was made on social media by Nutimik Lodge in Whiteshell Provincial Park. “Our prayers have been answered” the post said. “Both boys have been recovered.”

Earlier Thursday, their parents said they are surviving their “unimaginable” loss only because of the overwhelming support they have received from the community.

In the afternoon, RCMP divers, the Hutterian Emergency Aquatic Response Team and civilian volunteers moved across Nutimik Lake, drones hovered above and media lined the beach as the search for Aaron continued.

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.

You can work out your social situation

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

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: When I was a young bisexual guy going to university and working in bars at night, I was surrounded by new people — guys and girls all the time.

There were a lot of great late-night parties after work, and I always had my eye on somebody new. I was never lonely in those days. Where did all that fun and happiness go?

Now I’m a few years older with a career and don’t need a job as a bartender to help support me. But it seems like there’s nobody around to meet, other than at bars.

Also, I’m realizing that while there are lots of straight people out there looking for fun and relationships, it’s hard to convince them that I could be true to them alone, being bisexual. But I’m true to whomever I’m with — and I only want one lover at a time.

Animal rescue groups shaken by advocate’s death

Carol Sanders 4 minute read Yesterday at 5:40 PM CDT

A week after an animal rescue volunteer died doing what she loved at Sandy Bay First Nation, the charity she dedicated herself to has paused rescues as groups rally to prevent another mauling.

Winnipeg’s Amanda Nobiss, 37, was found dead July 17 after police were contacted by a friend trying to locate her. She often visited the community 180 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg to save animals.

Several “aggressive dogs” were found near where Nobiss’s body was located, Manitoba First Nation Police Service has said. It did not respond Friday when asked for an update on its investigation into her death.

“What happened is the most tragic, heartbreaking thing that could have possibly happened,” said Chelsea Kork, president of K9 Advocacy Manitoba, the charity Nobiss volunteered with.

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.

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.
