ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Tread carefully when talking to family members, especially female relatives, as well as partners, spouses and close friends, because confusion is rampant. It’s easy to misunderstand someone. It’s also easy to innocently mislead people. Yes, it’s that kind of day.

Bombers prepare to bounce back after bye week

It didn’t take Jaylen Smith long to earn the respect of his teammates.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have an annual tradition where they name a player the “Pro’s Pro” of the year. The title goes to a special teamer who shows up, takes pride in their craft, and never complains about his role.

Last season, it went to Smith — a rookie linebacker from Hamilton, Ont., who finished second on the team with 22 special teams tackles.

“I personally don’t think I deserved it. I thought Michael Ayers (now a third-year linebacker) deserved it. Everything he did, I just followed. He was the pro’s pro the year before, so I just followed him,” said Smith after Monday’s practice at Fort Garry Lions Field.

50 years of rare tall grass prairie celebrated

Kristin Bestvater is always glad when she heads to Winnipeg’s St. James neighbourhood and visits the Living Prairie Museum.

“It’s beautiful,” Bestvater said of the 13-hectare site, which is one of the last remaining tall grass prairies in North America. “I don’t know how many other cities would have something like this.”

The Island Lakes resident and her nine-year-old son were among the hundreds of people who gathered at the museum on Saturday to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

Designated a park in 1974, it officially became the Living Prairie Museum in 1976 with the opening of an interpretive centre which houses a gallery of exhibits, a gift shop and an observation deck.
