It’s just about time to celebrate New Year’s Eve and say goodbye to 2023. Preparing for a midnight toast and more year-end festivities may require a run or two to the store — but it’s wise to expect some limited business hours.

While a handful of major chains operate normally on the final day of the year, many others close up shop early. Much of this depends on location and each company’s policy — so when in doubt, call ahead or check online for more specific schedules near you.

Here’s a rundown of New Year’s Eve hours for stores across the U.S. this year.

Best move is to get honest, not ‘even’

Maureen Scurfield 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I just got a racy birthday card in the mail at work, with a letter inside it from an old girlfriend! Her praise of my body and intelligence was extravagant — almost poetic — but it felt really good.

I took it home and showed the card and letter to my wife, to make her jealous, I admit. All she said was, “Perhaps your old girlfriend’s getting into the booze in her old age!” That made me really mad.

Now I suddenly want to call up my ex and go visit her for a weekend. (She lives in another province.) I doubt if my wife would even suspect anything, as I travel a lot for my work.

Plus, when it comes to our own sex life, it seems like my wife couldn’t care less about being with me anymore. My wife’s big excitement is going out with girlfriends and flying to concerts with them. Things have gotten so petty between us now that I wouldn’t mind the feeling of evening things up! Please advise.

‘Canada is the best.’ Kinew applauds separatists’ failure in Alberta

Scott Billeck 2 minute read 4:35 PM CDT

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew threw both hands in the air Tuesday, celebrating Albertans’ rejection of separation from Canada in a referendum one day earlier.

“Yes. Canada is the best,” Kinew said from behind a podium at an unrelated press conference. “Hallelujah. It’s great.”

While votes were still being tallied on Tuesday, about 75 per cent of those who voted in Monday’s referendum in Alberta supported remaining in Canada, while about 25 per cent backed beginning a process that could lead to separation, preliminary results showed on Tuesday.

Kinew had been a vocal opponent of Alberta separating from Canada, repeatedly calling for national unity.

New blood in St. Vital

Joyanne Pursaga 5 minute read Updated: 5:02 PM CDT

Candidates to fill the wide-open St. Vital city council seat are sharing their plans to ease traffic, tighten up development rules, protect trees and improve Winnipeg Transit.

Coun. Brian Mayes led the ward since 2011 but is not running for re-election, guaranteeing a new city councillor will be chosen.

Chris Sigurdson, a Louis Riel School Division trustee and criminal defence lawyer, is competing for the job with Mayes’ endorsement.

Sigurdson said his trustee work over the last 16 years provided a valuable education in local government that he could apply at city hall.
