MOON ALERT: The moon is in Scorpio.

 

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Today you feel sympathetic to others, especially someone less fortunate. If you can use your own resources or combine the resources of others to help a third party — you will. Hey, you can’t help everyone — but everyone can help someone.

 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

A conversation with a partner or close friend will be mutually sympathetic today. You will care for each other and show this affection in some way. This is a good thing. Too often we feel positive feelings for someone but we say nothing.

 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Things will go well at work today; however, please know that whatever you want to get done will flow easily tomorrow morning! Therefore, make your to-do list now. Get ready and be ambitious! (Many people are catching up on all kinds of stuff while isolated at home.)

 

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

This is a playful, fun-loving day! You will enjoy the company of your kids. However, this is a creative day as well for you so you will love to draw, paint, sculpt, sew, knit, write, play music — something! Share your talents on YouTube!

 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Family discussions will go well today because people feel mutually sympathetic to each other. Being cooped up at home, especially for some busy families, is a challenge! (Aargh.) But, it has been an opportunity to learn more about each other. (Oops — TMI.)

 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today your imagination is in overdrive. In part, this is why you will spend time daydreaming or being lost in a world of fantasy. Naturally, this influence promotes creative writing in fiction and sci-fi. Ideas?

 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today you are focused on money. You probably want to shop online for something exotic and exciting. Items that are unusual and luxurious will tempt you. You might want to think twice before you press “Purchase this item!” But then, who loves beautiful things more than you?

 

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today the moon is in your sign dancing with mystical Neptune. This makes you feel gentle and sympathetic to everyone around you. (Especially children.) It also heightens your appreciation of beauty. Nevertheless, know that by tomorrow morning, you’re in work mode and will get lots done! Plan ahead.

 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today you are happy to cocoon, which is why many of you won’t mind being in self-isolation. Having said that, your sign, more than any other, will find it challenging not to be able to go out because you love to be outdoors. What you want overhead is — sky!

 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It’s easy to admire a friend today, which is a nice thing. (Unless they owe you money and want to borrow more.) This is a classic day to lend your efforts (however remotely) to a good cause or a charitable organization that benefits those who are less fortunate. You’re good at this.

 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are high-viz today. People are actually talking about you. In fact, they might know personal details about your private life for some reason. If you’re in self-isolation, how did they know this? Well, Instagram and Facebook can be revealing. Watch your step.

 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

In “normal times” you would want to travel today. That’s because you’re hungry for adventure! You want some stimulation! You need a change of scenery! What to do? Learning something new is your best bet. You can do this by reading a book (remember books?) Or taking a virtual tour of some fabulous place on the internet. Do something!

 

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actress Kristen Stewart (1990) shares your birthday today. You are energetic and passionate! You love to socialize and party. Nevertheless, you have lots of common sense. This is your time of harvest! Yay! Now you will begin to reap the benefits of your efforts in the last decade. You deserve this time of success. Expect to enjoy an increased influence and leadership in your relationships. Yes!

Closure of Nomads field massive upset for North End

Joshua Frey-Sam 4 minute read Updated: 8:49 AM CDT

The North Winnipeg Nomads have a flag on the field.

The long-standing minor football club was recently informed that its field is unfit to host games and that it would need to find a new home for its five youth and adult teams until repairs are made to the playing surface.

“Our board has made every effort to address the condition of our home field,” the club wrote in a statement. “Unfortunately, following a professional assessment, the field has been determined to be unsafe and unstable for our athletes.”

All five of the club’s teams will play their 2026 season at Frank Whyte Field, part of the Northwood Community Centre, with no confirmed date for when they can play on their home field again.

Theatre by the River’s latest production draws wisdom from Ovid

Ben Waldman 4 minute read 6:00 AM CDT

The seed of Sap — the production debuting tonight by Winnipeg indie company Theatre by the River — was planted during the reign of Augustus Caesar.

Published four years ago by British playwright Rafaella Marcus, Sap is a fable that shines light on the epic first-century poetry of Ovid’s Metamorphoses, intertwining the story of Daphne — who wills herself to be transformed into a tree when pursued by an overzealous suitor — as a modern reminder of the universal need for peer-led queer sanctuary amid an increasingly violent political landscape for members of the LGBTTQ+ community.

When director Elio Zarrillo encountered the poetic script, it seemed an obvious match for Theatre by the River, a roving company founded in 2006 to produce work that builds compassion and respect for underserved narrative.

After getting initial interest, Zarrillo — a Winnipeg-raised playwright and performer who’s been onstage in recent years at Winnipeg Jewish Theatre (Narrow Bridge) and Prairie Theatre Exchange (The Outside Inn) — chose an appropriate location for a readthrough with Theatre by the River’s production team.

Paranoid and high, man kills dad, takes photos of body, calls 911

Dean Pritchard 3 minute read Yesterday at 6:00 PM CDT

Paranoid and sleep-deprived after a night of smoking crack, Donato Pellettieri stabbed his 64-year-old father 27 times, called 911 and waited outside their Maryland Avenue residence until police arrived minutes later and arrested him for murder, court was told Thursday.

“Paranoia led him to believe this was a kill-or-be-killed situation,” Crown attorney Joel Refvik told Court of King’s Bench Justice Ken Champagne. “This is an individual who, but for his drug use and paranoia, likely would not have killed his father.”

The 39-year-old pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for the July 2021 killing of Salvatore Pellettieri and was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for at least 10 years.

The resolution of his case was delayed by long periods in which he was mentally unfit to stand trial, and changed lawyers and awaited reports to determine whether he should be found not criminally responsible for his actions.

Awareness is the first line of defence

Joseph Borsa 4 minute read Updated: 8:15 AM CDT

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month in Canada. This proclamation helps focus public attention on the very important protective role that such awareness can play in reducing the death and suffering associated with this disease.

The underlying reason for that is simple. In its beginning, prostate cancer, as is true for all cancers, starts and grows silently and stealthily, giving no indication through pain or other symptoms of its presence and of the developing pathology. Everything appears normal to the unsuspecting host until the cancer has grown to an extent that it interferes with normal function. There might then be pain, bleeding or some other manifestation of the growing tumour.

Unfortunately, by that time the disease may have reached an advanced stage, which is much more difficult to treat, and less likely to have a favourable outcome. It is a general truth in dealing with all types of cancer that the earlier it is discovered and treated, the better the likelihood of a favourable outcome. Awareness can be a major determinant of whether such early discovery happens or not.

Discovery of the cancer during its period of silent, surreptitious growth creates the opportunity for early treatment. Fortunately, in the case of prostate cancer such detection is favoured by two factors.

Supportive housing operator sued after man with dementia walks away

Erik Pindera 4 minute read Yesterday at 6:00 AM CDT

The Public Guardian and Trustee of Manitoba is suing a health services company after a man with dementia under its care allegedly wandered away from an apartment it operates for vulnerable people and was later found face down in a puddle — unresponsive, hypothermic and severely injured.

The public trustee — a provincial government agency that, among other duties, makes financial and personal care decisions for vulnerable adults who cannot do so themselves — filed the lawsuit against Cambridge Health Inc. and a related numbered company in the Court of King’s Bench earlier this month.

The agency did so on behalf of a now-38-year-old man, who has been under its care since 2018, as a result of his frontotemporal dementia. The disease often starts in mid-life, rather than old age, as is the case with most other forms of dementia.

The lawsuit alleges the man, who resided at a Henderson Highway apartment complex where Cambridge Health operated a supportive residence for people with complex behavioural health issues, was in a common area of the home at about 4:30 p.m. on April 3 last year.
