Cranbrook was treated to a spectacular sky show overnight between Monday, April 14 and Tuesday, April 15 when a “blood moon” graced the spring sky. The moon turned red for about one hour and 18 minutes during the full lunar eclipse, when the moon, Earth and sun were completely lined up. The reflection of the sun on Earth cast a red-orange glow on the moon as it was shielded from the sun’s direct light. Rick Nowell, an astrono-

To the moon and back A lunar eclipse turned the full moon red for just over an hour overnight on the morning of Tuesday, April 15

mer at the College of the Rockies in Cranbrook, captured the eclipse using the college’s telescope, the Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain, with an 11-inch primary mirror. “It’s meant for higher magnifications, so I had to attach a focal reducer to just barely fit all the moon in the picture,” said Nowell.

In Cranbrook, the eclipse began at about 11 p.m. when the full moon was still visible to the south. Mars was closest to Earth on Monday also, so it was very bright in the sky nearby, Nowell said. “The moon moved slowly easterly in the sky, and entered the Earth’s shadow at midnight. The black part of

the shadow cut a curved line into the moon’s edge and gradually crept along for an hour, until the last bright edge narrowed and went dark at 1 a.m.,” said Nowell. “Unfortunately, a thin haze to the south started to cover the moon, and a lot of the photos became fuzzy after this. The dim orangey moon faded in and out be-

hind clouds, but the camera was able to compensate somewhat.” While Earth was completely obscuring the sun, the sunlight passing through the Earth’s atmosphere made the moon glow a reddish orange, Nowell went on. “It took about three hours for the moon to move

through the Earth’s shadow. In the photos you can see that the moon was not evenly illuminated, since its orbit was a bit north of (above) the shadow cone.” The moon came out of the shadows at about 2:30 a.m., Nowell said, and it was back to a normal full moon at about 3:50 a.m. “If you missed this one, the next lunar eclipse is on October 8, 2014,” he added. “This year we get to see a solar eclipse too: There will be a partial solar eclipse in Cranbrook on October 23 at 3:45 p.m.”

How to protect yourself from the Heartbleed bug As 900 Canadians have had their social insurance numbers stolen, the Better Business Bureau is providing guidelines on how to protect the personal information you send online

S A L LY M AC D O N A L D

The Canada Revenue Agency is this week notifying 900 taxpayers who it believes had their social insurance numbers stolen as a result of the Heartbleed bug that has affected hundreds of prominent websites. The tax agency shut down public access to its online services on Tuesday,

April 8, after it discovered that the Heartbleed encryption vulnerability had affected people using the CRA’s website. The social insurance numbers were stolen over a six-hour period by someone exploiting the vulnerability in many supposedly secure websites that used an open-source encryption system.

The agency is sending registered letters to those taxpayers who are affected, rather than emailing because it doesn’t want fraudsters to use phishing schemes to further exploit the privacy breach. The CRA website was brought back online on Sunday, April 13 after the CRA patched and relaunched its online ser-

vices, including the E-file and Netfile online income tax portals. People who were not able to file their income tax last week because of the website shutdown have been given an extra week to make the tax deadline. CRA has extended the filing deadline to May 5, 2014 before penalties apply. The Heartbleed bug –

which had made websites vulnerable for up to two years before it was discovered last week – gave hackers access to passwords, credit card numbers and other information at many websites. Websites that were vulnerable to the bug include Google, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, Netflix and Blogspot. Users of those

websites are being asked to change their passwords. The Better Business Bureau of East Kootenay is going one step forward and suggesting that consumers change their passwords on all sites they use, particularly those that retain personal identifying information.

The fantastic 607: Get those cameras rolling Mount Baker Wild Theatre launching film festival for filmmakers in Grades 7 through 12 Carter Gulseth

Listen, people. There are worse things you could do than enter “The 607.” Oh, you don’t know what it is? Well, it’s quite simple, really. It’s a film festival for students, more specifically, students from Grades 7 to 12. The point is: if you can pick up a camera, you ought to enter. I mean, there’s incentive, right? It’s a festival, and where there’s a festival to be entered, there are prizes to be won: fabulous prizes of jewels, and Mercedes Benzes! Okay, maybe not, but certainly prizes of money. Perhaps I’m not being clear enough. Mount Baker Wild Theatre is putting on a film festival. Everyone else is doing it, so they thought they might get in on the action. The festival is a regional one, which means that the films are going to be flooding in from all over the Kootenays. The festival is enterable by students from Grades 7 to 12, and entries will be accepted until May 14. You’re asking yourself what the catch is, right? What kinds of guidelines come with the fabulous chance to make a movie on your own dime? Well, a film festival wouldn’t be any good without a rule, so here it is: no shorter than one minute, no longer than 20 minutes. That’s it. That’s all, honestly. Of course you’ve got to adhere to copyright rules (we don’t want your version of Ben Hur in 20 minutes) but that’s all fine print. Now, I’m sure you can recall that

earlier I had mentioned fabulous prizes. So here’s the deal with those: if you’re any good, you might win something. The way the festival works is this: You submit a film by May 14; that is step one. Step two is that your film is reviewed by a panel of semi-experienced, semi-competent judges, who will criticize your work as a group. When all of the films have been reviewed, the part you’re excited about — the money — comes into play. Winners will be chosen based on merit, skill, and close personal relations with the adjudicators. The prizes of money are exciting, don’t you worry. The grand prize is $1,000, with a first runner-up of $500, and a second runner-up of $250. Exciting, right? Finally, at the end of the whole thing, prizes will be awarded to the most deserving and ingratiating films at the Key City Theatre in what is sure to be a gala bash. Yes, that’s right, a gala bash. On June 11, at the Key, the 607 is putting on a screening of its winning films. There will be movies shown, awards handed out, and a meeting of young aspiring filmmakers. Okay, maybe it’ll just be a whole bunch of kids who want to get their hands on prize money, but that’s beside the point. The screening will be open to the public for the low price of $5, and we would like to encourage the general population to get dressed in their best, and come out for an evening of fun.

Supporters rally at old brick building Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

On Monday, members of the Cranbrook Heritage Association, as well as Mayor Wayne Stetski and Councillor Sharon Cross, were out at the old brick building behind city hall. The group that has campaigned to save the brick building is now starting to fundraise for its restoration, and last week in council Nelson Engineering Inc. confirmed that from its initial review the building is restorable. Ken Haberman, who along with Rob Amsing first brought the proposal to save the brick building to council back in June 2013, said the Monday meeting was to raise support for the building. “Fundraising is underway and we’re very much interested in having people contribute,” Haberman said. “We just wanted to get people together just to bring it to the public again. We’re working to get this place happening.” He said if people can contribute financially or volunteer their work it would really help the cause. “Anybody that wants to donate time is always welcome,” he said.

The brick building group is now under the umbrella of the Cranbrook Heritage Association, formerly the Baker Hill Heritage Society. The purpose of this group is to keep Cranbrook’s heritage and make sure it’s not all torn down, he said. Earlier this month Nelson Engineering Inc., which is based in Cranbrook, confirmed that a restoration of the building is feasible, though did not give an amount in dollars. Initially, the city’s engineering department had found the restoration cost prohibitive and so the building was to be demolished, with the bricks possibly being repurposed into another structure. But in August 2013, after seeing the swell of support and passion from the group of volunteers looking to save the building, city council delayed the demolition a year by a narrow 4-3 vote. If you are interested in finding out more information or contributing to the group’s efforts, you can contact them through Facebook: “Save The Cranbrook City’s Waterworks and Electrical Department Building.”

Contractor named for new hospital ICU project Lark Projects of Surrey will take on the $20 million addition to East Kootenay Regional Hospital

Sa lly Mac D on al d Townsman Staff

A Surrey-based construction company has been awarded the contract for construction of the new Intensive Care Unit at Cranbrook’s hospital. Lark Projects, part of the Lark Group, has more than 40 years of experience with industrial, commercial, hospitality and health care projects, including the Royal Jubilee Hospital Patient Care Centre in Victoria. The $20 million project will add an 8,500 square foot building to East Kootenay Regional Hospital with six patient rooms. It will be located on the northeast corner of the hospital, beside

where the mobile MRI unit is parked. The addition will replace the ageing, cramped four-bed Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the hospital. The size and design of the new ICU will provide better flow through the unit for physicians and staff and provide additional privacy. The enhanced care environment for patients will feature integrated family spaces and maximized natural light. Medical staff at the hospital were heavily involved in the design process, even conducting an exercise with styrofoam cutouts of ICU machines to test the spacing. The project includes

a significant electrical upgrade to the entire hospital. The electrical infrastructure will be located in the basement of the new addition. “This is an exciting announcement for the people of the East Kootenay because it paves the way for the actual construction phase of this important project for the entire region,” said Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett. “These upgrades will benefit patients as well as the physicians and staff who provide care at our regional hospital.” “I know the excitement on a project builds as we move through each step. We’re now getting very close to having workers on site

Groundbreaking will take place later in the spring, with construction completion antici-

pated for mid-2016. The B.C. government is funding approximately $12 million of the project and the Kootenay East Regional Hospital District is contributing $8 million. The East Kootenay

Foundation for Health is contributing $120,000. “Our involvement in this project reflects a commitment from our communities to the services East Kootenay Regional Hospital pro-

vides to patients across our region. On behalf of our donors, the Foundation is happy to play a role in these major improvements,” said Donna Grainger, executive director for the foundation.

French travellers head south on epic Rockies traverse Arne Pe tryshen Townsman Staff

One month ago two French friends began a four-month journey to travel the Rockies north to south. This weekend they made their way from Wasa through Bull River towards Jaffray, ultimately hoping to make Eureka in the next couple days. Thomas Punty and Nelson Defreyman wanted to get a real sense of the landscape of Canada and the U.S. so they decided to do the trip on foot, supplemented by ski touring and paragliding along the way. “We want to cross all the Rockies without any motors, without anything, just paragliders and our feet,” said Punty, who is in business school back in France. Defreyman, who is also his cousin, is a skiing and paragliding instructor. Punty said they decided to embark on the Rockies trip after a trip to Central Asia. “We were coming back from Kyrgyzstan,” he said. “We wanted to climb those big mountains. It was fun, but the thing is we didn’t see that much landscape.” That trip was more about summiting, but because of that they didn’t get immersed into the culture and landscape. They wanted see a mountain range in its entirety and meet people along the way. “So that’s why we wanted to do another trip like this,” he said. “That’s why we took four months.” They began their journey in MacKenzie, B.C., ski touring until Jasper where they sent their ski equipment to

Nelson Defreyman and Thomas Punty stopped by the roadside for a photo near Bull River townsite on Saturday. The travellers, from Barcelonette, France are just completing the Canadian portion of their north to south 3,000 km traverse of the Rocky Mountain range and were headed towards Jaffray, before crossing the U.S. border. their end destination: Santa Fe, New Mexico. On skis they followed along the highway or logging roads, with the goal to take the shortest route. Punty said they sometimes got lost on the back roads, but still had a great time, even with the weather being what it was. “It was very cold,” he said, adding that those were some of coldest nights they’ve ever felt. “You are always cold. It’s sometimes hard, but al-

ways very interesting.” He said it is also tiring, because when out in the wilderness, they don’t eat much. It’s only when they get to a town that they have a big meal. He said travelling here is a lot different than in Europe as well. There, if you’re on a mountain and have trouble often you can just descend into the valley and there will be a town or village. Here everything is much more

secluded, but they seem to enjoy that. “It’s very nice to see the wilderness,” he said. “Compared to Europe it makes you adapt a lot.” Punty said the two of them make a good team. He’s good with the planning and logistics part of the journey. Defreyman has the hands on knowledge and training. Both of them have been paragliding since they were teenagers. Punty said they are very complementary in

that way, rather than both having the same set of skills. “That’s why it’s always worked,” he said. “We’ve done a lot of expeditions together.” They update their website from the field by way of a video camera and an iPhone connector. They post the updates and videos along the way so you can follow along at www.xrockies.com or at www.facebook.com/XRockies.

Guidelines to protect yourself from the Heartbleed Continued from page 1 The bureau is providing the following guidelines: • Secure your accounts: Ask for protection beyond passwords. Many account providers now offer additional ways for you to verify who you are before you conduct business on that site. • Make passwords long and strong: Combine capital and lowercase letters with numbers and symbols to create a more

secure password. The bureau suggests choosing passwords that are phrases (for instance, ilovetofish) and making each letter O into a zero to make the password more complex. Look into password management software to help you keep track of really “long and strong” passwords. • Unique account, unique password: Separate passwords for every account helps to thwart cyber criminals.

• Write it down and keep it safe: Everyone can forget a password. Keep a list that’s stored in a safe, secure place away from your computer. • Own your online presence: When available, set the privacy and security settings on websites to your comfort level for information sharing. It’s okay to limit how and with whom you share information. For businesses, the bureau is recommending that they im-

mediately check to see if their website uses the Open SSL program that has been hit by the Heartbleed bug. If a vulnerability exists, work with a computer professional to install a more secure SSL program on the website. For more information and other consumer tips, visit bbb. org.

Madly off in our direction Lorne Elliott at Centre 64 in Kimberley, April 13 Mike Redfern

unday night in the theatre at Centre 64, 100 expectant people in the audience, house lights dim, stage lights illuminating a tall figure at the microphone, baggy black slacks and loose, opennecked white shirt, sleeves rolled up to his elbows, shaggy grey hair like a mane, a wry expression on his mobile features and a small guitar clutched in one hand. He looked at us and we looked at him and anticipation heightened even before he spoke. And then for the next two hours, interrupted only by a 20 minute intermission, Lorne Elliott held us in convulsions of laughter. Currently on tour through small towns in the B.C. Interior, comedian, songwriter, and novelist Lorne Elliott made a stop in Kimberley and reminded us of why we hung onto his every word for a decade or more during his weekly CBC Radio show, ‘Madly Off In All Directions’. And he made us realize how much of his humour we had missed back then by only hearing him, for in person, larger than life on stage, his physical humour and facial expressions proved to be a delight in themselves. On Sunday night, as he illustrated the difficulty of trying to hold his socks up with a bungy cord threaded through holes in his trouser pockets, well, you had to see the body language to truly appreciate the farcical nature of the story. There seem to be few aspects of life that Lorne Elliott cannot find humour in. From

the prime minister’s smile to death by carnivorous wild animals, from polygamists in Creston to Bavarian ideologists in Kimberley, Elliott slyly mocked everyone and everything, much to the delight of his audience. And when he picked up his guitar and sang us some of his songs, his lyrics were as funny as his patter. I’ll never look at an orca the same way again after hearing his killer whale song. And as for his moose call song, well, you just had to be there, I suppose, to see those honks and brays emerge from the moose-like contortions of his elastic mouth. Often seeming to lose track of where he was going with a subject, he called on members of the audience to remind him and the interactions that sometimes followed became a comedy routine in themselves. “He was very clever,” commented one audience member. “Intentionally ‘getting lost’ and asking for help gave him scope to wander but to always make a fresh start when brought back.” Looking back on his performance I am both awed and bemused by the way in which this brilliant comedian held our attention and kept us laughing for so long by just standing on stage in a relaxed manner, prattling on about this and that in conversational mode, making off-hand observations about the things that people say and do seem extraordinarily funny. It was all in the delivery which, I suppose, is why most of us are not comedians. “I prefer his relaxed,

A preference shared by 99 others on Sunday night, it appeared, judging from the continuous laughter. Coming next to the Theatre at Centre 64 are Indian tabla musicians, The Mishras, returning

for a third or fourth appearance here on May 24. They will be followed on May 31 by boogie-woogie blues pianist Kenny ‘Blues Boss’ Wayne who will perform in a cabaret-style evening in the dance studio at Centre 64.

Hersh even says that it was General Army troops at My Lai in 1968 during the Vietnam War, and revealed the torture and Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the US sexual humiliation of Iraqi prisoners by US Joint Chiefs of Staff, who told President military police at Abu Ghraib prison in Barack Obama just days before the Ameri2004.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

were United Nations inspectors in Damascus to look into two much smaller attacks earlier in 2013 that seemed to involve poison gas. And we are asked to believe that at that precise moment Assad thought it would be a neat idea to kill one or two thousand innocent civilians in the city with poison gas. So who did it? The obvious question to ask was: Who stands to benefit from this attack? – and the answer was certainly not Assad. He would not have done this unless he was very stupid, and being wicked does not make you stupid. Whereas the rebels had every reason to do it, in order to suck American firepower in on their side. Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s prime minister for the past eleven years, has backed the Islamist rebels in the Syrian civil war from the start, and he will be in deep trouble if they lose. They WILL lose, unless either Turkey or the United States comes to their aid militarily. Erdogan would obviously rather have the US Air force do it rather than his own armed forces. So he had a good motive for giving the rebels the poison gas. Hersh says that he has been told by a former senior official in the US Defense Intelligence Agency that that is what happened. You can read the details on the website of the London Review of Books. And yes, he’s old, but that just means he has been getting it right about a lot of different things for a long time.

Toronto Raptors insist they have preferable post-season opponent TORONTO - If the Toronto Raptors have a preferable post-season opponent, they’re not saying. The Raptors wrap up their record-breaking regular season Wednesday night at New York, and won’t know until post-game who’ll they’ll face in the playoffs. And they insist they don’t care. “We’re just worried about ourselves,” Amir Johnson said after Monday’s victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. “We just want to clean up on our mistakes. Whoever’s in front of us, we’re going to play the same way we’ve been playing all season.” The Raptors, who set a franchise record with their 48th win of the season Monday night, will face either the Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards or Charlotte Bobcats when the opening round begins this weekend. The Raptors are tied with the Chicago Bulls for third in the Eastern Conference, but control their own destiny. They’ll clinch the No. 3 seed if they either beat the Knicks on Wednesday, or the Bulls lose at Charlotte. They’ll finish fourth if they lose and Chicago wins. Raptors coach Dwane Casey has been resting his starters - all-star DeMar DeRozan got the night off Monday. Casey said he would consider resting DeRozan again Wednesday, despite what outcome that might have on the game, and their conference seeding. Canadian Press

Florida Panthers win first overall pick in NHL Draft TORONTO - The Florida Panthers won the NHL Draft lottery on Tuesday, granting the team the first overall pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. Florida had an 18.8 per cent chance of winning the draft lottery, second only to the Buffalo Sabres’ 25 per cent odds. Barrie Colts defenceman Aaron Ekblad is the top-ranked prospect heading into the draft. The draft will be held June 27th and 28th in Philadelphia. Five Canadian teams had entries in the lottery, but none moved up in the draft. The Edmonton Oilers will select third, the Calgary Flames fourth, the Vancouver Canucks sixth, the Toronto Maple Leafs eighth and the Winnipeg Jets ninth. The Ottawa Senators would have selected 10th, but they traded their pick to the Anaheim Ducks. Montreal was not entered in the draft lottery as the Canadiens are the only Canadian team in the NHL playoffs. Canadian Press

Abbotsford cuts losses, severs deal with AHL’s Heat ABBOTSFORD, B.C. - The Abbotsford Heat of the American Hockey League is leaving the City of Abbotsford. Mayor Bruce Banman announced Tuesday that the termination of the tenancy agreement with the team is in the best financial interests of the city. The team, which has spent five seasons in the city, has been a money loser, and Abbotsford has agreed to pay more than $5 million to end its deal with the franchise five years early. The team is in the Calder Cup playoffs and will leave the city after that run is complete. The Heat is the farm team for the Calgary Flames. The Flames said there is a plan in place for the Heat in the 2014-15 season and it will announce the team’s new location later Canadian Press

Local racers compete at Whistler Cup TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Local members of the Kimberley Alpine Team took to the hills in the Lower Mainland to race at the Whistler Cup over the weekend. Emma Damm, Ethan Blair, Jamie Casselman and Zoe Chore all represented their club while competing against 400 other races from 27 different countries. Casselman took the top honours of the group by ending the weekend as the second overall Canadian based on performance. He took a bronze medal in U14 slalom and finished 4th in giant slalom and 9th in the second round of dual giant slalom. ““I thought the dual slalom was a cool idea,” said Casselman. “It was especially fun riding backup to the start behind the snowmobiles. I was a bit nervous before my first run of the slalom race because of the high level of competition and I really

hoped to do well this year. I got 7th in my first run and was afraid the podium was out of reach. “I was more comfortable before my second run so I skied more aggressively with the second fastest afternoon run and ended up on the podium in third. This was my third Whistler cup and I have had a lot of good experiences. I always look forward to the breakfasts at the Roundhouse even though I have to wake up really early.” Fellow U14 teammate Ethan Blair finished 32nd in slalom, 58th in giant slalom and 40th in the first round of dual slalom. In the U14 female category, Emma Damm raced to 31st out of 109 competitors in giant slalom and 20th in the first round of dual slalom. In the U16 category, Zoe Chore placed 31st in super-G and 42nd in giant slalom in a group of 80 athletes. “These young athletes have had very successful seasons both regionally and

provincially,” said KAT coach Jon Blair. “Zoe Chore and Jamie Casselman will finish off their season by attending a BC Alpine Talent ID camp in Whistler April 1620th.” The event is a pretty big affair, which simulates an Olympic atmosphere with the top 11-15 year old talent, coaches and volunteers in different cultures coming together to compete. Friends are made through banquets, 7 a.m. breakfasts at the top of the mountain, live music and a parade where Olympic athletes and Whistler Cup athletes proudly represent their country. Kimberley Alpine Team has been in operation since 1987. The club provides fall and winter programs for developing the love of skiing in children from the ages 4 to 19 with operations based at the Kimberley Alpine Ski Resort.

Ice, Tigers set for epic playoff series finale TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Sometimes it’s hard to give credit when credit is due, but in this case, the Medicine Hat Tigers deserve some props. Facing a 3-1 series deficit, they came back and won the following two outings to tie everything up and force the first Game Seven in the 2014 WHL playoffs. Needing only one win, the Ice were shellacked 9-2 in Medicine Hat in Game Five before dropping a tight 2-1 decision at home in Game Six. It’s now or never tonight in Alberta.

Ice forward Jon Martin, who scored the lone goal on Monday night, brushed aside any questions of confidence, after the team suffered back-to-back losses. “We’re good,” Martin said. “We did a lot of good things in the third period and we talked about that, so we just got to carry that into Game Seven here and we’ll be fine.” The third period Martin refers to is the final 20 minutes of the 2-1 loss on Monday. The two teams held each other without a shot on goal six minutes into the frame, with Kootenay

eventually gaining some traction and pressure in Tigers territory. “It was the best period of the series by us, by far, so I think we just need to carry that momentum into the next Game Seven here, do all the good things we’ve been doing,” added Martin. The Medicine Hat Arena is a notoriously tough building to play in. The Tigers had the second best home record in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, and they beat the Ice in all three meetings in Medicine Hat.

Kootenay bucked that trend to open the second round of the playoffs, picking up their first win in Medicine Hat for an early series lead. “It’s probably one of the toughest rinks to play in and I think we just have to keep it simple and do the little things like we’ve been doing here in the third period,” said Martin. One key to the game will be the powerplay. After decimating the Hitmen with the man-advantage, Kootenay has scored once in 21 powerplay opportunities in this series with

the Tigers. “I think we need to simplify things, get pucks to the net,” said Ice captain Sam Reinhart. “It’s pretty cliche, but when you’re having troubles, for the most part, it resolves when you’re keeping things simple and we definitely had success, maybe not on the scoresheet, on our powerplay throughout the series, but Game Seven is a perfect opportunity for them to go in for us.” If Kootenay pulls out the win, they’ll book a spot in the conference championship against the Edmonton Oil Kings.

Calgary stabbing suspect son of officer Bill Gr avel and Canadian Press

CALGARY — The suspect in the stabbing deaths of five young people in Calgary is the son of a senior officer with the city police force. Chief Rick Hanson says the arrested man is a student at the University of Calgary and was an invited guest at a house party celebrating the end of the school year. Hanson says the young man arrived at the party early Tuesday morning, got his hands on a large knife and began stabbing the victims one by one. Three men died at the scene, while another man and a woman died in hospital. “This is the worst murder — mass murder — in Calgary's history,” Hanson said. “We have never seen five people killed by an individual at one scene. The scene was horrific.” Hanson says the dead were all “good kids” who were in their twenties. He says first-degree-murder charges are pending and the name of the suspect will be released after they are laid.

Police were called to the northwest residential neighbourhood of Brentwood, not far from the University of Calgary campus, at about 1:20 a.m. The suspect was arrested with the help of the police canine unit about 40 minutes after the stabbings. He was taken to hospital for treatment of dog bites. Hanson says the suspect worked at a grocery store and his father had worked with the force for 33 years. There was no immediate word about a possible motive. The blue-sided house where the stabbing took place is on a quiet, tree-lined residential street. It was surrounded with yellow police tape as medical examiner staff brought three bodies out on stretchers. Neighbours in the area say the house was being rented by University of Calgary students and the party stemmed from the student union's annual Bermuda Shorts Day, which was held Monday. The event, shortened by students to BSD, is an annual

B.C. report urges tougher rules for police checks C ANADIAN PRESS

This street in northwest Calgary was the scene of five stabbing deaths early Tuesday morning. outdoor party on campus featuring live music and beer gardens to celebrate the end of classes. The school's student newspaper, The Gauntlet, wrote about the tradition two weeks ago in a story titled “BSD: It'll be a bloodbath.” The university posted a short statement about the deaths on its website, saying counselling would be offered to anyone needing it. “The University of Calgary is mourning the loss of five young people killed early this morning in Brentwood,” the

statement reads. “The identities of the deceased have not yet been confirmed by Calgary Police Services. Once details are confirmed by Calgary Police Services, the university will provide a further statement.” Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi took to Twitter to offer condolences. “Thoughts and prayers of all Calgarians are with the young people we lost this morning, their families, friends, and university community,” the mayor said.

VICTORIA — British Columbia’s privacy commissioner says tougher rules are needed to stop police from releasing sensitive personal information about people beyond criminal convictions to their prospective employers. In a report released today, Elizabeth Denham says government and police boards should immediately stop providing mental health information to employers as part of the information released in information checks. The Information and Privacy Commissioner has called this report on the use of police information checks in B.C. her most important ever. Denham says thou-

sands of police information checks are used by employers and volunteer groups every year in the hiring process and the information in these checks, which often goes beyond criminal records, can have lasting and profound impacts on a person’s privacy. Her report says the government should adopt legislation prohibiting the release of non-conviction information for employment positions outside of those working with children and other vulnerable people. Denham’s report says B.C.’s police information checks reveal more information about individuals than most other jurisdictions.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your intensity might be heightened by a night of vivid dreams. A personal or domestic matter will loosen you up. You could see a white rabbit pop out of a black hat. Stay centered in your apparent good fortune, and don’t let anyone get to you. Tonight: Togetherness counts. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Others seek you out, as they have plans or a project that they would like to include you in. You might have different plans. How you explain this could define your interactions for a while. Take an overall look at a situation. Tonight: Sort through invitations. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Focus on a project, rather than allow others to be distracted. You will be optimistic when it comes to an investment. A partner surprises you with a different perspective. You could feel awkward about a personal crisis. Tonight: Take your time heading

home. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your creativity emerges, and you seem to find answers quickly. On the other hand, others easily could be stumped by a problem. Be careful with a roommate who might decide to cause some uproar. Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Ever playful. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You need to focus on the here and now, as well as on what direction you want to head in. You need to be determined, or else you will be distracted too easily. Count on your inner voice. You might be receiving an odd yet valid message. Listen carefully. Tonight: At home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could tumble into a snafu, but you will bounce right out. Use care with spending, as it could cause a problem. Tempers might flare regarding something that seems more important than it really is. A meeting could be more instrumental than you think. Tonight: Where the action is. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

Patience doesn’t appear to be very evident right now, as tempers are close to the surface. Respect differences instead of viewing others as being wrong. Unexpected developments involving a partner or close associates will land in your lap. Tonight: Take a break from routine. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could choose to bypass a frustrating situation. If you would like to maximize your energy, detach. Instability comes from an associate and/or a change in schedule. News sheds light on a decision. First, digest the information. Tonight: Alone does not work. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Listen to others’ complaints. You might be inclined to start a discussion and get to the bottom of a problem. You might be surprised by the anger that arises. Keep your opinions to yourself for now. Tonight: Your popularity is about to soar! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Zero in on your priorities while you can. A boss or a personal situation has the capacity to

distract you. Decide how to handle this issue, especially if you have a lot to get done. Realize that you have options. Tonight: Loosen up with a friend. Say “goodbye” to tension. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You are full of playfulness, while others seem to be pulling out their hair. If you stop, you will see that a situation has evolved that forces your hand. You need to respond to someone who really could use your support. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Allow your imagination to wander. How you deal with someone could change radically once you detach and can understand his or her actions, ideas and thoughts. You might not have seen this dimension of this person before. Tonight: Be where there is great music. BORN TODAY Aviation pioneer Wilbur Wright (1867), basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1947), actor Charlie Chaplin (1889) ***

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My stepson, “Louis,” is 45 years old, has been unemployed for the past 10 years (he never gets along with his bosses or co-workers) and got busted for DUI, for which he underwent court-appointed treatment and had his license revoked for five years. When his dad and I married, we moved into my home, and Louis moved into his father’s place with the stipulation that he would get a job and pay rent and utilities. We are still paying the mortgage and taxes. Louis moved his girlfriend (now wife) into the house. She works full time. Annie, my husband still pays all of Louis’ bills, including the cable movies Louis buys online. Louis feels entitled to this. When he found out we were selling our old car and didn’t give it to him, he went on a raging tirade and started throwing stuff. I almost called the police. My husband has discussed the situation with Louis many times, but no money is forthcoming. I don’t understand why his wife doesn’t help pay the bills. When I bring up kicking him out or putting a For Sale sign in front of the house, my husband agrees something should be done, but generally gets angry with me and gives Louis a free pass. I know he feels bad about Louis’ lack of ambition and self-centered behavior, but he won’t do anything. In another year, we will have paid off that house. My husband and I are in our late 70s, and he is not in the best of health. If he should die, I don’t know what happens to the house. What legal recourse do I have? I refuse to pay the freeloaders’ way through life. -- Upset Landlord, Not Wicked Stepmother Dear Upset: Is your name on the deed to the house? Do you and your husband have legal wills? Who is your husband’s beneficiary? Please seek legal advice immediately, and make sure things are settled the way you want. In the meantime, we hope you can impress upon your husband that Louis will someday have to fend for himself, and the longer he postpones growing up the harder it will be. Dad is doing him no favors. Dear Annie: Seven years ago, my husband walked out on our 9-month-old son and me. He’s been mostly out of the picture since. For the past four years, there has been no contact from him whatsoever. Throughout all this time, his brother has kept in touch through texts and occasional visits. Lately, there seems to be a spark when we are together. I know his family would approve. When my ex and I separated, his mom told me she thought I was a better match for her other son. Is it wrong to have a relationship with my ex’s brother? -- Confused Dear Confused: There is no reason why you cannot have a relationship with your ex-brother-in-law if you are willing to deal with whatever consequences occur as a result. Would it mean more contact with your ex? Would that be difficult? Tempting? Would your ex try to punish you in some way? If you can handle the fallout, it’s fine with us. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Sick of Xenophobes,” who says she speaks excellent English and wants to know why people are rude to her. I agree with you that her accent might be difficult to understand. I run into this problem at least once a week and have to ask the person to slow down and speak more clearly. It’s especially difficult when they are reading from a script and I interrupt for clarification, and they apologize repeatedly. I’d rather they skip the apologies and get to the point. All that blather is annoying to listen to. Maybe better headsets would help. -- Just a Thought Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

NEWS Women’s media group names courage award after photographer killed in Afghanistan

ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — A women’s media group has created a new award for courage honouring Associated Press photographer Anja Niedringhaus, who was killed on assignment in Afghanistan, the group announced Tuesday. The International Women’s Media Foundation said the award will be given out every year to a female photojournalist whose work “follows in the footsteps of Anja Niedringhaus.’’ It is funded with a $1 million gift from the

Howard G. Buffett Foundation, a private family foundation that seeks to improve the lives of the world’s poor and marginalized — often the subjects of Niedringhaus’ photographs. “It is heartening to see Anja’s memory honoured in a way that will recognize the work of future generations of female photojournalists,’’ said Santiago Lyon, AP’s director of photography. “She set a wonderful example to so many in our profession through her compassion, courage and resilience.’’

stan and Pakistan. She was part of the AP team that won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography for coverage of Iraq, among many journalistic awards and honours for her work. Niedringhaus was killed April 4 in the eastern city of Khost, when an Afghan police unit commander walked up to the car where she was sitting in the back seat and opened fire. Reporter Kathy Gannon, who was with her, was wounded in the attack.

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaica has appointed its first poet laureate in 50 years in a bid to revitalize the arts and preserve the Caribbean country’s literary history. At a Tuesday gathering at Jamaica’s national library, Tourism Minister Wykeham McNeill named poet Mervyn Morris to the honorary position. Morris has published several volumes of his own poetry and authored and edited a wide range

of anthologies and essay collections. He most recently wrote a book about Louise Bennett-Coverley, a beloved Jamaican poet and folklorist who brought the island’s unique patois to the world. He is a retired literature professor at Jamaica’s campus of the University of the West Indies. Morris says bringing poetry to the wider public will be a “major service to Jamaican culture.’’ The post lasts for three years.

Niedringhaus started her career as a freelance photographer when she was 16, working for a local newspaper in her native Germany. Her coverage of the fall of the Berlin Wall led to a staff position with the European Pressphoto Agency in 1990. She was based in Frankfurt, Sarajevo and Moscow, and spent much of her time covering the brutal conflict in the former Yugoslavia. She joined the AP in 2002 and worked throughout the Middle East as well as Afghani-

LONDON — Staff at a London hair salon say they had a close shave with North Korean officials after using the country’s leader, Kim Jong Un, to promote discount haircuts. M&M Hair Academy says it received a visit by two men from the nearby North Korean embassy after putting up a poster last week featuring a picture of Kim — who sports a distinctive undercut — and the slogan “Bad Hair Day?’’ Barber Karim Nabbach said the manager refused to remove the poster and reported the incident to police. London’s Metropolitan Police confirmed Tuesday that officers had spoken to both sides of the dispute and concluded “there were no offences for us to investigate.’’ M&M Hair Academy Embassy officials could not immediately be reached Karim Nabbach with the Kim Jong-un poster at M&M Hair Academy in west London. for a comment.

SKOWHEGAN, Maine — A Maine animal shelter has so many carrots it doesn’t know what to do. The Somerset Humane Society in Skowhegan received the carrots last week from a trucking company that wanted to get rid of them after a supermarket manager turned them away because some were bruised. The carrots were still edible and the trucking company didn’t want to waste them. Shelter Director Hattie Spaulding estimates they got three to four tons of carrots. She tells the Morning Sentinel she’s donated them to area food pantries and homeless shelters, the county jail, and offered them for 50 cents a bag to the public. Most of the dogs and cats at the shelter aren’t particularly interested in carrots, but Spaulding says a local horse owner has offered to take some.

Death toll in Oso mudslide reaches 37; another 7 missing ASSOCIATED PRESS

EVERETT, Wash. — The death toll from the mudslide that hit the Washington town of Oso has risen to 37. The Snohomish County medical examiner’s office said Tuesday it has received one more victim. The person’s name has not been released. The sheriff’s office says seven other people are still listed as missing. A search for bodies continues in the debris left when the March 22 landslide raced across the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River and buried dozens of homes in the riverfront community about 55 miles (90 kilometres) northeast of Seattle.
