ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is a lovely day for you. The moon is in Aries dancing beautifully with lucky Jupiter and the sun. It is also lined up with gentle Neptune making you empathetic and tuned into your surroundings. You feel warm and friendly toward everyone, and are concerned for their welfare.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

This is a feel-good day. You’ll enjoy time spent alone in private moments or solitude because you’re sensitive to the problems of others. This will heighten your feelings of compassion and encourage you to be helpful to someone in need. Enjoy relaxing at home.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You’re interested in the world. You want to know what’s going on and you want to talk to others. In particular, you might feel sympathetic toward a friend or group, which in turn might prompt you to become involved in a charitable organization. Your Spidey sense is also heightened.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

People notice you. You can use this to your advantage if you want to set an example, especially one that is caring, compassionate and generous. You also feel confident about your finances. You might shop for something big.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your desire to expand your world is strong. Not only are you interested in travel, you’re also interested in big ideas and making progress via medicine or the law in a way that benefits others. Because your idealism is aroused, you want to help people in need.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’re happy to work alone or behind the scenes. Nevertheless, you might do some fundraising or use the wealth and resources of someone else to benefit others. With Mars high in your chart, your ambition is aroused. Plus, you’re interested in talking to younger people — perhaps to rally your troops.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a popular day and you’re eager to shmooz, especially with members of the general public. You might have a strong connection with a partner, spouse or close friend. Your sympathies are aroused, perhaps for someone close to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You make a fabulous impression on others, which is something you can use if you want to persuade someone about something dear to your heart. This could be a charitable cause or something work-related or relevant to your health.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Do something different, because you’re keen for adventure. This is a marvellous day to shmooz. Accept invitations to socialize. Romantic interests and playful times with kids will delight. You feel particularly concerned about the welfare of children.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might want to help a family member. You’re certainly sensitive to the needs of family members right now. You might research ways to get funding or help for someone who needs assistance. Personally, travel and a chance to do something different appeals to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You’re an idealist who is concerned about the welfare of society. You might be up on your proverbial soapbox or out there with petitions because you care about a cause. Your imagination is heightened, which promotes artistic fantasies.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

If you can do anything to help others, especially via your job, you will, because you feel sensitive to the concerns and problems of people around you. You might be personally generous with your own funds or look for ways to encourage others to be more altruistic.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

TV personality Martha Stewart (1941) shares your birthday. You’re focused, courageous and energetic. You’re also adventurous, impulsive and self-disciplined. This is a fun-loving year, because your zest for life is at a pinnacle. Enjoy socializing with others. Nurture the happiness and beauty you have within. Let your guard down and loosen up a bit. Have fun!

Brandon laying groundwork for Arabian championship

Connor McDowell 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

BRANDON — It’s time to dish the dirt on what’s about to happen at Brandon’s Keystone Centre.

Hundreds of horses and hundreds more spectators are about to descend on the site for Canada’s National Arabian Championship Aug. 6 to 15, and before that happens, the staging surface has to be perfect.

“We have been working on this day in and day out,” said Devin Epp, sales manager in the Ag Centre at the Keystone Centre.

Since July 24, staff have been working on a 24-hour schedule to build the competition floor. Dirt was hauled into the arena and has since been worked into place with tractors and hand-pushed equipment.

Prepare to be … blutterbunged?

David McLaughlin 5 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

Are you not blutterbunged?

If Russell Crowe’s second-century gladiator character had uttered a 19th century equivalent of “Are you not entertained?” that fit the mood of today’s 21st century, that would be it.

Definitions first. Blutterbunged is an obscure regional dialect word from England that means everything from astonished to confounded to bemused or shocked into speechlessness. Its composition suggests something both more and less, namely blustering bloviation (that’s the more part) and empty words (that’s the empty part). These days we would more naturally punctuate our reaction to an event or statement with a profanity. But you get the drift.

Unearthed by lexicologist Susie Dent, it speaks volumes about our times that it fits now. That we need to reach back hundreds of years to find the right word to adequately capture a contemporary civic reaction to what the hell is going on in politics and the world today.

Winnipeg police ticketed a man accused of leaving his dog locked in his vehicle in a grocery store parking lot during the intense heat earlier this week, then attacking bystanders who were concerned about the animal’s welfare.

It’s not uncommon for city police to be contacted about pets left locked in cars during heat waves, but typically those calls don’t escalate to the extent of the incident Wednesday afternoon, said Winnipeg Police Service spokesman Const. Claude Chancy.

“It definitely comes up every time we have heat events in the city, we do get concerned citizens calling about pets being left in vehicles, even for a short period of time,” said Chancy.

“Typically, what will happen is that the owner or the caretaker of the pet will present themselves to police and proper, appropriate advice is given about the care of these animals — this is definitely an extreme case.”

‘Belligerent’ man ticketed after dog left in hot car

Winnipeg police have ticketed a man accused of leaving his dog in his vehicle in a grocery store parking lot, then attacking bystanders who were concerned about the pet's welfare during the intense heat earlier this week.

Winnipeg Police Service patrol officers were called to the Safeway parking lot on the 600 block of Osborne Street at about 1 p.m. on Wednesday over the incident.

Police believe the man parked in the lot and left his German Shepherd in the vehicle to shop. Several bystanders gave the "thirsty, distressed" dog cold water through a crack in the window. The driver confronted them, then went back into the store. The bystanders continued to try to help the dog, as the temperature was about 30 C with a humidex value of 43 C.

The man then returned to his vehicle and was "belligerent" with the bystanders, before hitting one of them with his vehicle, reversing into a parked pickup truck and driving off at a high speed, police said.

Climate change threatens events we wait for all year

This week, owing to extreme heat and a wild storm with tree-snapping winds, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet had to cancel its full run of Ballet in the Park, a much-loved annual tradition at which people from all over Manitoba can enjoy world-class art in the verdant Assiniboine Park.

Two weeks prior, Rainbow Stage, another jewel of a Winnipeg summer, had to cancel the closing matinee of Jesus Christ Superstar owing to heat and humidity.

And at the beginning of July, Winnipeg Folk Festival attendees baked under scorching temperatures — 47 C with the humidex — to enjoy not just the discovery of music, but the community that has formed in Birds Hill Park on the second weekend of July for over 50 years.

This doesn’t feel great. I do not begrudge cancellations — they are absolutely the correct call for the health and safety of performers and patrons — but I can’t be the only one feeling some existential dread about our summers, and the things that make them special, in the face of a changing climate.
