Three Hazelton men have made a significant contribution to St
Peter’s Anglican Church Hall to honour the memory of their parents Lorna and Eric Janze
Seth and Gottfrid Janze raised the $1,200-plus through a garage sale and presented the donation to their sister-in-law Grace Janze
who is the Lay Leader in charge at the church
Lorna Janze (née Matthams) was formerly the minister of St
She was born and raised in Quebec and came to Hazelton as a nurse in 1958 for a posting at Wrinch Memorial Hospital
marriage commissioner and sat on numerous local
provincial and national boards and committees
In 1995 she was honoured at the Hazelton International Women’s Day for her many contributions to the community
She was also honoured to have been adopted into Wilp Xsimjiitsiin of the Gitxsan Frog Clan and given a Gitxsan name
Eric Janze was a Second World War veteran and founding member of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 285 (Calgary)
he was a Church Warden and Lay Reader at St
Peter’s and a Hazelton alderman for over 25 years
including Skeena Union Board of Health and Kitimat-Stikine Regional District board
He helped create the Hazelton and Area Historical Association
the Hand of History Tour and the Pioneer Museum
he was awarded the Queen’s Golden Jubilee medal for a lifetime of exemplary community service
The donation will go toward repairs and maintenance of the hall

With only one year in the sport under her belt, Mission’s Liz Janze already has a bobsleigh provincial title
Janze and her pilot Melissa Lowe captured the female Alberta provincial title on Feb
to cap off a whirlwind debut year in the sport
It all went down at Canada Olympic Park in Calgary
and Janze pointed out that the track was unavailable for practice for two weeks following an after-hours unsupervised accident at the park that left two teens dead
Janze and her partner trained elsewhere prior to the race and were expecting to race against at least three other female tandems
but when they arrived for the competition they were surprised to see they were the only female duo competing
“I think we intimidated the competition,” she joked
“But we were more than happy to treat it as a professional race and give it our all
Janze said she was happy with her performance at the provincials
“We had personal best times for our push start time and down time on the track,” she said
“I was really happy with our hard work and it really paid off.”
meaning she pushes as hard as possible off the line
but brakemen must have speed and strength to get the bobsleigh going
Janze said winning provincials was the perfect way to end the season
“I’m pretty proud of myself and it shows all the effort and hard work we’ve put in,” she said
“It’s great to win in my first season and it feels very rewarding to win provincials
It’s really left me hungry for more and hopefully I can make the next step to nationals.”
she has to perform well at national team testing camps this summer
she can then be invited to another camp and it is at that second camp that national team selections are made
“I’m going to be training my butt off for the rest of the summer,” she said
noting she will hit the gym six to eight times a week
Another goal for Janze and Lowe is to compete at the World Junior Bobsleigh Championships in Europe next season
The pair will fundraise this summer in order to potentially make the trip
Her other looming desire is the chance to compete at the Olympics
She’s aiming to wear the maple leaf at either the 2018 or the 2022 Olympics
it’s gym sessions and continuing to develop in her sophomore year in bobsleigh
Alice de Janze kept a pet lion in her house and was seldom seen without a small monkey on her shoulder
she captivated men from London to Nairobi with her dreamy grey eyes
bee-stung lips and fashionably boyish figure
Nor was the exotic American heiress averse to their attentions
In an age when the average Englishwoman guarded her reputation like a priceless jewel
Alice was famed for being a party-girl who drank eye-wateringly strong Absinthe cocktails and could lure any man she wanted to her bed
And there was plenty of opportunity for sex in Kenya's Happy Valley
the decadent Shangri-La created by upper-class white colonials between the wars
White Mischief Murderess: Alice de Janze is now thought to have murdered Lord Erroll in Kenya
she thrilled to the continual round of louche parties
fuelled by alcohol and sexual intrigue - where one daring after-dinner game involved male guests sticking their appendages through holes in a sheet so the women could vote on their favourite
Alice would have been long forgotten but for one detail: her passion for Josslyn Hay
which outlasted two marriages on both sides
caused any great scandal - but because he was cut down in his prime at the age of 39
The shockwaves caused by the violent death of this good-looking aristocrat have continued to reverberate to this day
At least half-a-dozen books have been published about his murder at a deserted crossroads in the dead of night
and a movie about it - White Mischief - even featured Alice as a minor character
has yet come close to solving the mystery of who killed Lord Erroll
comes not from a professional historian or forensic investigator but a retired international businessman who has doggedly pursued fresh leads for the past 12 years
Paul Spicer started his quest with a considerable advantage: not only had he lived for two extended periods in Kenya himself but his mother
had been a good friend of Alice since meeting her in 1925 when they both arrived in Kenya
he returned again and again to see the very few remaining survivors of the Happy Valley era
it all seemed to point to just one culprit: the fun-loving Alice de Janze
Far from being little more than a footnote in history
it appeared that she had literally got away with one of the most celebrated murders of the 20th century
So why would Alice have wanted to kill her lover
And how can Spicer be so sure that she pulled the trigger
we must go back in time to her first marriage - to a French count
Alice Silverthorne - as she was then - was the daughter of a millionaire from Buffalo
and had been packed off to Paris at 21 when her relatives grew alarmed at her growing closeness to a young mobster
she soon met and married Frederic de Janze
a mild-mannered French count who remained steadfast and loyal to her until the end of his life
The unfortunate de Janze lacked the powerful masculinity and sexual chemistry that she was later to find with other lovers
and she was soon casting her dreamy gaze elsewhere
It had been Count Frederic's idea to whisk his young wife off to the balmy valleys of Kenya - then called British East Africa - after the birth of two daughters in quick succession left her feeling listless and trapped
And their host there was none other than Lord Erroll and his new wife
Erroll was already a pivotal figure in the new community of British aristocrats and rich socialites
who left their black servants to tend to their farms and their kitchens while they hunted
clever and an ace card and polo player himself
the Earl had begun devoting a good deal of his energy to seducing women
Everything conspired to intoxicate the previously listless Alice: her sexy host
the high altitude and the carefree bohemianism of her hostess
Far from the restrictions of British society
Idina and Erroll had cast old repressions aside with abandon
sometimes throwing parties that would last for days at a time
It was even rumoured that every person had to sleep with someone other than the one they'd arrived with before the party could finish
Idina was pregnant and she preferred to titillate her houseguests by inviting them to watch her take her daily bath or by asking them to dress in pyjamas and dressing-gowns for dinner
she quickly swapped her Paris designer wardrobe for the loose shirts and corduroy trousers favoured by her hostess
And she was soon having secret sexual rendezvous with her host
Charles Dance as Lord Erroll and Greta Scacchi as Lady Diana Broughton in the 1987 film 'White Mischief'
Lord Erroll was an extremely accomplished lover
so he may well have been responsible for her sexual awakening
Her forgiving husband decided to wait patiently till she came to her senses
positively encouraged the affair as she grew ever larger: better that Erroll bedded someone she knew and liked than an outsider
Alice decided that she wanted to live in Kenya
and persuaded her husband to buy a nearby property
The affair with Erroll continued sporadically for nearly 20 years
she fell wildly in love with the 26-year-old youngest son of a British baronet
who had decided to try his hand at big-game hunting and farming in East Africa
The darkly handsome and athletic Raymund de Trafford was also a gambler and a cad
who had already left a trail of broken hearts
After first promising Alice he would marry her if she left Frederic
he abruptly changed his mind a year later while they were both on a visit to Paris
he told her he'd be leaving on the evening train
Alice went into a gun shop and calmly bought a 3.8 pearl-handled Colt revolver and shot him in the chest
The scandal made headlines all over the globe as the lovers hovered for weeks between life and death
But they both pulled through; and at the ensuing trial
Alice received a six-month suspended sentence for what was viewed by the French as a magnificent crime of passion
The sweet-faced Alice de Janze had definitely proved that she was capable of shooting a lover
where Lord Erroll had by now divorced his wife and acquired another - apparently more for her money than her beauty
Alice resumed her affair with the dashing Earl
pursuing him to England for regular visits
her long- suffering husband agreed to a divorce and Raymund finally agreed to marry her
who within weeks was gambling away her money and rowing with her in the street
and she returned alone to Kenya to resume where she'd left off with Lord Erroll
Perhaps Erroll and Alice would have continued their liaison for years had it not been for the sudden arrival in November 1940 of a new couple in their midst: Sir Jock Delves Broughton and his bride Diana
Greta Scacchi in a scene from 'White Mischief'
27-year- old Lady Diana - who was 30 years younger than her husband - became the new reigning beauty of the Happy Valley
Everything about her conspired to irritate Alice
Not only was the newcomer much younger than herself
but she was Alice's exact opposite in looks: blonde
blue-eyed and so voluptuous that there was much comment on her blatant sex appeal
Nor did it contribute to Alice's peace of mind to discover that one of her potential beaux
a dashing Coldstream Guards officer called Dickie Pembroke
was completely smitten - though Diana evidently turned him down because he didn't have a title
he and Diana were regularly being seen dancing together at the Muthaiga Club in Nairobi
in a manner that some members considered indecent
And very soon it became obvious they were having a raging affair
Sir Jock - a friend of Erroll's - gracefully bowed to the inevitable and agreed to a divorce
who had never known her lover to be so enthralled
she suddenly became aware that the powers of seduction that she had always taken for granted were finally on the wane
Perhaps to prove to herself that she could still attract a man
she took Diana's leavings and threw herself into an affair with the snubbed Dickie Pembroke
when he rolled in from a night out at the Muthaiga club and reported to her that Sir Jock had just proposed a toast to the future of his wife and her lover
He had then told Erroll to make sure his soon-to-be ex-wife was back at the marital home by 3am
She knew when Lord Erroll was likely to be driving his Buick back alone to his own house
No one can be exactly certain about what happened next
but we do know that he was persuaded to stop at a crossroads leading to his home
Two shots from a .32 calibre revolver were then fired at close-range
His body was discovered by two African dairy workers not long afterwards
Even after everyone had trampled over the scene of the crime
it was still evident that there was a second set of tyre tracks that were peculiarly thick
No one appeared to make the connection with Alice's DeSoto car
immediately demanded to see the body at the mortuary
An ex-lover who accompanied her there remembered her passionately kissing Erroll's cold lips and declaring: 'Now you are mine for ever.'
He was duly charged with murder - even though many could have attested that he was drunk on the night
had a broken wrist and suffered from night blindness
who had never previously shown any desire to befriend him
became one of his most regular visitors in jail as he awaited trial
she talked incessantly about how worried she was that the trial might go against him
Was she dreading that she might have to confess in order to save him from the death penalty
always arriving early to secure a good seat and taking copious notes
Among those who gave evidence was her lover Pembroke
who had been brought in by the Crown to rule her out as a possible suspect
and duly testified that he'd been in bed with her at the time of the murder
had been sent two anonymous letters suggesting that the killer might be a discarded mistress
for whom Erroll would naturally have stopped his car
At least two authors who have written about the case since believe he did commit the murder
and one writer is even convinced that Sir Jock's wife Diana was responsible
In virtually every depiction of the Erroll murder to date
Alice told several friends over lunch that the first of her two 'deep wishes' had already come true
and now she wondered if the second would occur
She then drove straight to the graveyard where her lover was buried
she went into her garden to collect several armfuls of flowers
she placed some in vases and scattered the rest over her outsized bed
Then she wrote out tags with the names of close friends and attached each to a piece of furniture - including two large African drums that served as night-tables
lay down on the bed and shot herself through the heart
arrived to find five letters at the scene: one to Pembroke
No one knows where the one addressed to the police is now
The contents were never officially released
possibly because the coroner was so shocked at their implication that he handed the letter to the attorney general
the attorney general - who also happened to be the prosecutor at Sir Jock's trial - may well have decided not to re-open that particular can of worms
But Alice's friend Dr Boyle had already read the letter before handing it to the police
It contained nothing less than her full confession to Lord Erroll's murder
Paul Spicer had known about the existence of this letter
but was unaware of its explosive contents until he tracked down Dr Boyle's daughter
Only after meeting him several times did she decide finally to reveal what her mother had told her about the letter
She had the knowledge of Erroll's movements
having already tried to shoot a previous lover dead
She had always been a good shot and seldom left home without her revolver
Her route to the crossroads would have been swift
and Erroll would have immediately recognised her slim figure in his headlights
But what of her alibi that she was with her lover Pembroke at the time
Spicer believes that it's certainly possible that Pembroke slept through her departure and return on the night of the murder
he loved her enough by then to want to protect her
Other small pieces of evidence also slotted neatly into place
and had said as much to friends in later years
had told her daughter-in-law that a few years after the murder
a revolver of the exact calibre used to shoot Erroll had been found under some rocks on the border between their properties
What good would it have done to tell anyone?'
Spicer was plagued with one unanswered question: why didn't Alice kill her hated rival instead of her lover
He discovered the answer after finding Alice's old housekeeper
had been obsessed with the occult and firmly believed she would meet all her loved ones on 'the other side'
the meaning of Alice's words to her friends about two 'deep wishes' was illuminated
Her first deep wish had clearly been to kill Erroll
Her second was to kill herself so she could join him on the other side
the evidence against Alice is likely to remain circumstantial
But it does appear overwhelmingly probable that she did indeed murder the man she loved
goaded beyond endurance by his love for her rival
any remake of the film White Mischief could no longer get away with featuring Alice de Janze as a bit-part player

MI -- Sisters Joslyne and Olivia Borema walk together holding a big basket between them
The sisters are joined by three other girls
All of them are members of the Girl Scouts and all have come on this warm August day to volunteer in the United Way of Bay County's Community Garden
the garden has been providing fresh produce for Bay County food pantries and shelters since 2012
a truck from Saginaw-based Hidden Harvest -- a food rescue organization -- picks up the bounty and within hours delivers it to those in need
Here is a year-by-year breakdown detailing the amount of produce picked up and donated by Hidden Harvest from the United Way of Bay County's Community Garden:
It's a great thing to get," said Jeremiah Janze
"The cool thing about it is that Bay County has some of the best soil in the world
Janze said Hidden Harvest provides volunteers with boxes and delivers the produce to agencies like The Salvation Army and Good Samaritan Rescue Mission
he said Hidden Harvest has delivered more than 4,000 pounds of fresh produce
"It seems like gardening and growing veggies is something people are into," said Janze
"It's cool because people feel good about growing good food and giving it to folks who can use it."
United Way of Bay County director of volunteer services
said an average of 20 volunteers helps out in the garden during the season
which runs roughly from July through September
At the start of the season Idalski organizes planting days
but maintenance and harvesting is done on the volunteers' own schedule
we need volunteers to till throughout the season," she said
successful garden that produces as many pounds as we can get," Idalski said
"Having enough volunteers is what makes the difference in how successful the garden is."
When the Girl Scouts visited the garden on Tuesday
they had more than picking vegetables on their minds
They wanted to tame the compost pile that has grown weeds and plants on its own
The girls planned to cover the pile with a tarp for a few weeks until the weeds died as part of the Girls Scout's Take Action project
The project is supposed to be something else that needs to be done besides the community service aspect
Some of the girls finally stood on top of the tarp as others staked it down
but they can do this themselves," Stevens said
"We are helping the people from Hidden Harvest and we learn to work together," said 10-year-old Tannah Stevens
"It's not only for my benefit for getting an award
They know that it's fresh from a garden and not processed," added Raegan Woodiwiss
The garden itself is located on about a half-acre of land donated by Michigan Sugar
director of community and government relations for Michigan Sugar
said the company also contributed $1,000 to help purchase gardening tools and for other start-up costs
"We had that plot of land there and thought
'Why not offer it to them and provide a community service?' They were very excited about it."
who serves on the Volunteer Task Force for United Way of Bay County
said he admires the work it takes to run a community garden
"It's a commitment to work out there
The biggest thing is keeping the weeds down and keeping the dirt cultivated
you've got all that competition taking up moisture and nutrients
Idalski said the company is very supportive of the garden
tilling at the end-of-the-season and water expenses
"It's a way for people who receive food from pantries to receive produce and have healthier choices," Idalski said
"The volunteers go out to help knowing that in the end a family in need of food is going to get it."
said the United Way Community Garden has produced items like tomatoes
Janze said the nonprofit doesn't have a huge gardening program
but is very happy to get fresh produce from its partners
which also includes Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish in Midland
which runs a garden to benefit Hidden Harvest
"We have gardeners who bring us stuff from their own gardens
but Bay City is unique in that they have a community garden for us to distribute
"This produce make a big difference to those in need."

Gallery: Vegetables harvested at United Way Community Garden
won a British Columbia First Nations’ Art award and $5000 for creative excellence and cultural contributions
Janze said he learned how to carve and make jewelry by watching other artists work
“It didn’t matter to me how big their name was
He does commissioned work as well as pieces he’s inspired to do
“But I’ve gotten a bit slower these days.”
His love of traditional West-coast art began in 1963 in Bella Bella
“If we needed a bunch of spoons for a feast
“I watched a couple of the older guys doing engravings and I was pretty impressed with that
Janze sells mainly out of art galleries in B.C
and believes his art has made it around the world
Janze traces his ancestry on his mother’s side to France
where there is a county bearing his surname
which was a group of Protestants who followed John Calvin’s teachings
but due to persecution had to relocate to other parts of Europe
Janze is part of the Lax Se’el (Frog Clan) and holds the name Luu’gan’iix
“It was given to a Gitxsan Ha’lyt from people in the east as payment for killing a lightning snake,” Janze said
He was told the snakes were about 10 metres long and ate people
so the Gitxsan medicine man was hired to kill the animal
“No one will ever know what it looks like because he killed the last one.”
Janze was going to be a business administrator were it not for an economic downturn when he graduated from BCIT in 1970
“By the time the economy was better people had moved on to other things.”
He started carving full-time in 1972 after making the decision to stop working on a tug boat
“I just about got killed five times in one day
which normally didn’t bother me,” Janze said
I realized I was to be a dad and it bothered me.”
Janze wandered through Vancouver searching for a new career and happened upon one of the first art shops to sell Northwest coast art
He didn’t have anything to offer the manager to view
“I took him about ten pendants that I had been working on,” Janze explained
“By the time I left he had bout them all.”
Times and prices have changed a lot since then
“I used to work all week to make $60 and now
Silver was about 50 cents an ounce when Janze started and is now over $34 an ounce
Janze has shared his knowledge with more than 200 artists through the years like Ron Sebastian (Gitxsan/Wet’suwet’en)
Don Yeomans (Haida) and Henry Greene (Tsimsian)
Janze was also part of helping another renowned Gitxsan artist
to continue making art after Harris suffered from a stroke in the late seventies
“It was all new to him and he had to learn from scratch.”
Janze has had to fight off two strokes of his own
but the latest one had him in rehabilitation for over three months
but I had to lift weights for about eight hours a day for the last one,” Janze said
“Plus I worked on a cabin in the Kispiox Valley
The cabin is on his family’s homestead near Pentz Lake
camping and cycling to work can be smelly and grimey affairs
especially if there are no showers in which to get washed
are towel-sized wipes designed especially for body cleansing
The idea for Epic Wipes was conceived by company founder Dr. Aeneas Janze for soldiers in Afghanistan who had no access to showers, although body-sized wipes do exist elsewhere already
Janze saw that soldiers needed a portable yet effective means of cleaning themselves up
He felt that normal wet wipes were too small and flimsy for effective body cleansing
he viewed the resealable packages as being less hygienic than is ideal and found that many wipes contain ingredients that aren't actually good for people to use
such as endocrine disruptors and carcinogens
during which Janze tested multiple formulas and materials
The resulting product measures 31.5 x 19.7 in (80 x 50 cm)
and folds down to fit comfortably in pockets
The company says this is sixteen times larger than a typical wet wipe and is able to be used with two hands
with users even able to clean their backs in the same way they'd dry them with a towel
Epic Wipes are made from bamboo fibers processed into viscose and are 100 percent biodegradable, with recyclable packaging. They also contain ingredients that rank among the safest on the non-profit Environmental Working Group's (ESG) Skin Deep database
A Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for Epic Wipes is ongoing
Pledges from US$14 will be rewarded with four of the wipes
assuming all goes to plan with the roll-out
Delivery is expected to take no longer than 6-7 weeks

Fraser Valley Prosthetics has been in business for 30 years
and although the technology has changed in that time
the eagerness to help the community has not
“We want to show our appreciation to the patients putting their trust in me 30 years ago,” owner and certified prosthetist Louis Janzé says
“Also showing our appreciation to their families for putting their trust in me to take care of them
so go find it.” He found his ‘innate’ calling in bringing prosthesis services to the Fraser Valley
Janzé received his education from the British Columbia Institute of Technology
back when prosthesis were heavy and wool socks were used
Janzé and his team are always keeping up with the latest cutting edge technology
Janzé is able to tailor each prosthetic device to the individual’s needs
Using custom-engineered machinery and years of expertise
Janzé and his staff treat upper and lower limb amputee patients
his team gets to show their creative side and have patients’ designs come to life
He has even made a prosthesis with a Terry Fox laminated loonie
Although every patient and their story is meaningful
Janzé recalls a time where an individual who had suffered significant amputations said
I never would have met you wonderful people.”
The open house is in celebration of individuals like her
and the impact the family business has made across the Fraser Valley and beyond
They have also been able to collect prosthetics and donate to people in need
as well as distribute to Third World countries
Janzé is still excited to come to work everyday and make a difference
Our core mission statement is enhancing independence.”
Local athlete Liz Janze loves speed
she raced down ski hills and delighted in being the first to reach the bottom
it was no surprise when Janze joined the Mission Racers speed skating club seven years ago at the age of 14
Her experience with skis helped her adapt to the long skate blades and in no time
she was ready to take her training to the next level
“(Coaches) Bruce Wenting and Derrick Ross gave me the introductory steps,” said the 21-year-old Janze
who will always remember it was those first steps that started her journey to becoming a high performance athlete
Janze later joined the club in Matsqui to get more ice time to help her advance her goals
She often raced others as well as herself for personal best times
After graduating from Mission Secondary in 2011
She reached a national performance level and competed against the country’s best in Montreal in 2012
Janze moved to Calgary the following year to continue her high performance training at the Olympic Oval
and it was there she fell in love with another sport
who is also studying community rehabilitation and disability studies at the University of Calgary
Janze had met a professional bobsledder who invited her to try it out
“My first run down the track was a bit of a rough ride
but I knew I had to give the sport another try.”
Janze pushed the sled 10 more times down the track
“It made me want to set another goal,” she said
It didn’t take long for Janze to realize she was hooked and in a short while
Now she is setting her sights on being a part of the provincial and national bobsleigh team
She is beginning a movement called From Mission on a Mission to inspire local youth and engage community groups about becoming a high performance athlete and to raise funds for her training
“Sponsorship is important because it helps me achieve my goal,” said Janze
acknowledging the support she has already receive from the Mission community to get to where she is today
“A lot of these skills I didn’t learn on my own
I had coaches and community volunteers support me and now I want to give back.”
She plans to give back to the community by talking to groups about balancing education with high-performance hobbies
Janze recently teamed up with BlackPress4Good.com to raise awareness and funds

It’s time for another ferocious federal election
troublemakers both foreign and domestic will unleash a flood of fake news stories on the Internet
Just go into your e-mail program and open the spam folder
billions of fraudulent messages were supposed to make our e-mail systems virtually useless
even though spammers send more messages than ever
“It’s a manageable disease,” said John Reed, a researcher at Spamhaus
an international spam-fighting organization
Fake news is probably destined for the same fate
While Facebook and Google are scrambling to fend off another wave of phony political stories
they will probably never be completely eradicated
But around the country and throughout the world
people are working on ways to identify and flag the fakes
Some efforts rely on human reviewers; Facebook alone has hired 20,000 people to monitor the content posted by its users
But there can never be enough human eyeballs to spot all the phony stories
including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
using the same artificial intelligence techniques that Reed uses to stifle spam
“It’s able to identify things that we as humans wouldn’t even have seen,” said Reed
“Why not turn it to something like looking at articles?”
Marten Risius
an assistant professor of management at Clemson
had the same idea not long after the 2016 election
went to work on an automatic fake news detector
“We heard it wasn’t possible to predict fake news on social media
and we thought that doesn’t make a lot of sense to us,” said Risius
computers can be taught to recognize all kinds of patterns
Risius and Janze obtained a collection of more than 2,000 articles about the election posted on Facebook and compiled by the news site Buzzfeed
The stories fell into four categories: “mostly true,” “somewhat true,” “mostly false,” and “entirely false.” There was no point looking at entirely true stories
and the researchers skipped those that were entirely false because they mainly came from obvious satire sites such as The Onion
Since fake news stories always contain at least a little truth
they had their software look for common features of stories that were somewhat true or mostly false
Risius and Janze looked at the descriptive text found at the top of most Facebook postings
Fake stories tend to have an unusually large number of capitalized words and exclamation points
They also found clues in the way other Facebook readers responded to fake stories
They weren’t as likely to reward these stories by clicking the “love” or “laughter” icons
But they did share fake news stories more frequently than legitimate news
they tested the software on another batch from the Buzzfeed compilation that it had not seen before
and Risius said it accurately identified the fakes 88 percent of the time
there were also plenty of false positives; 25 percent of mostly true stories were marked as fakes
Now Risius is using the technology for a slightly different purpose: a news app that recommends verified stories to readers — but from the opposing point of view of their stated political position
would prod people to break out of their ideological bubbles
“We can recommend high-quality articles from the other side,” Risius said
Ramy Baly
a postdoctoral student at MIT is also developing software to identify trustworthy news sources on the Internet
Baly is a native of Syria and believes fake news stories have helped fuel the ferocity of his country’s civil war
“It has contributed to magnify the impact of what’s going on,” he said
Baly’s software would flag sites that traffic in fakery
and he is also developing techniques to measure a site’s political slant
so visitors can know going in to expect a left- or right-wing perspective
Baly has pinpointed a host of subtle indicators to suggest a news site might not be on the level
the software flags whether the site is listed in Wikipedia
whether Mother Jones on the left or National Review on the right
will usually be memorialized in Wikipedia; sites without such listings may be honest upstarts
Baly’s software also analyzes the Twitter account connected to the news source: How old is the Twitter account
Older Twitter accounts with large user bases are more to be trusted than relative newcomers
Genuine media sites usually have relatively clean and simple addresses
while fly-by-night websites often have long addresses full of unusual characters
After training the software on a database of about 2,000 stories
Baly said it could identify fake news sites with 65 percent accuracy and accurately gauge the ideological slant of a story in about 70 percent of the cases
Baly hopes to create a consumer news app that would direct users to reliable news sources from every point on the political compass
Rada Mihalcea
director of Michigan’s artificial intelligence lab
has been working for years on automated systems to detect deception in many different forms
In 2015 she demonstrated software that could detect lying by analyzing videos of humans talking
Mihalcea claimed that her software could spot lies with 75 percent accuracy
Now she’s using similar techniques to pinpoint phony Internet news
“Liars will more often use certainty as a way of making up for the lie,” she said
so false posts would have words that denote extreme certainty
or how complex the text is,” Mihalcea said
sentences tend to be simpler.” She thinks that’s because lying takes extra mental effort
so liars ease the strain by using fewer words
Mihalcea said her system identifies fake news with 76 percent accuracy
She eventually hopes to produce an add-on to Internet browsers that would flag incoming stories full of short sentences and absolute certainty
These tools won’t be ready this November and perhaps not in 2020 either
and the fake news police are just getting started
because there are always plenty of credulous people looking to have their prejudices confirmed
But for those of us who’d rather not be lied to

Hazelton Secondary School Drama Program’s presentation of one of the longest running off-Broadway musicals Little Shop of Horrors by Howard Ashman & Alan Menken is about a meek young man who names a strange and interesting new plant after his long-time crush
only to discover that the plant has a fondness for blood and world domination
31 (Sat/Sun; Wed/Thurs) at Hazelton Secondary School
This is the second time Hazelton Secondary School has produced Little Shop of Horrors
Drama teacher and director Barb Janze remembers helping the music teacher and director Patrick Delaney with the musical in 1997
“I was just finished my theatre degree and had a lot of fun with Patrick and the cast and crew.”
One very special fact about this year’s production is that the daughter of one of the 1997 cast members is playing the exact same part her mother did 22 years ago
This year’s cast and crew have been working very hard to produce another great musical for the communities of the Upper Skeena
“We have students involved from most of the communities on Gitxsan territory: from Kispiox all the way out to Gitanyow
We have received lots of help with costumes
and the puppets from a great network of Drama teachers in our Northwest zone
and a number of amazing community members,” said Janze
Janze decided to double cast the musical this year so that more students had the opportunity to be on stage
Overall there will be three casts: opening night will have one cast; Sunday night will have a slightly different cast; and then Wednesday and Thursday night will have another cast playing the lead roles
“I hope everyone in our community takes time to come to the musical at least one night
but because of the two casts I really recommend people try to go to two nights
We don’t get entertainment in our community like this regularly and I know the audience will not only enjoy themselves
The students have worked very hard and I hope that all their efforts will be honoured with a full house every night
There are still lots of tickets available but please get yours before it is too late,” she said
Ticket sales have picked up in this last week with opening night and closing night being the most popular
There will be a concession at intermission as well as t-shirts for sale
There is just a little harsh language and a physical altercation so Janze recommends that it may not be suitable for really young children
and grandparents alike will really enjoy the puppetry
Parents can call her if they would like to know more

They will also be available at the door if tickets aren’t sold out in advance

“It was explained to me by my elders that we dance for life,” said Bison
for those who are too old and those who are too young to walk.”
Now Bison is passing on that knowledge at an event hosted by the Aboriginal Student Centre at the University of Regina once every semester
the session includes live dance performances and “showcases the spiritual
physical and cultural benefits of powwow,” as well as provides a contextual and historical framework for the practice
but there’s a reason why we do it,” said Bison
for example the ladies’ jingle and the men’s grass,” he said
adding there’s a long story behind the healing aspect of the dances that will be explored in the session

Rachel Janzé is a program co-ordinator for the Aboriginal Student Centre and helps organize the event
“Having things like this on our campus create a space that is reflective of our campus community in terms of our Indigenous population,” said Janzé
She said it’s also a time for people of all walks of life to come together and find things that connect us all
Although everyone comes from different places
Janzé said we all have connections to drum
“We look at all of the other structural inequities and difficulties in our community that we need to overcome — taking time for celebration and for learning together
Bison said learning and sharing in powwow is an opportunity to foster Indigenization
something he said is becoming a big initiative in our society
And while many people have seen powwow dancing before
I hope I do a good job of explaining why we dance to these certain songs
Janzé said between 300 and 500 people attend each event
including elementary and high school classes
members of the Regina Police Service and more
The event takes place Tuesday in Gym 3 at the Centre for Kinesiology
in order to get settled so the session can begin promptly at 1 p.m

When Telus (TSX:T) unveiled plans this month to spend $1 billion connecting its high-speed-fibre optic network to most of Vancouver, CEO Darren Entwistle promised to deliver speeds that would “dramatically change our society.”
The company envisions that gigabit Internet users will be able to download giant files in a flash
patients and doctors will connect through online video without delay and tech companies will come flooding into a city offering some of Canada’s highest speeds
“It will start changing behaviour,” said Urbanfibre vice-president of product Jon Paul Janze
Burnaby-based Urbanfibre already offers gigabit Internet to about 5,000 homes and businesses throughout Metro Vancouver
and it plans to have the service available in 30,000 homes in the next few years
wants to roll out its gigabit-enabled network to 400,000 homes and businesses within the City of Vancouver over the next five years
The network can provide speeds of one gigabit per second (Gbps)
the equivalent of 1,000 megabits per second (Mbps)
it would take someone only a minute to download two high-definition movies from iTunes
Janze said such widespread access to these high speeds will accelerate current trends in business
That means more people switching to mobile devices
more remote working and more reliance on backing up files on the cloud
“Vancouver businesses need gigabit Internet – at the right price,” he said
Customers who subscribe to Telus’ Internet 150 service pay $120 a month for speeds of 150 Mbps
but it’s unclear how much the company will charge for gigabit service
Telus does not plan to make gigabit speeds available to most customers when the fibre-optic network begins connecting to the first Vancouver homes and businesses next year
customers connected to the ultra-fast network will have access only to speeds of up to 150 Mbps
“More speed than that isn’t going to be helpful or necessary within a home environment,” Telus chief corporate officer Josh Blair told Business in Vancouver
he said the company would enable one-Gbps home service further down the road as Internet capacity improves
But Blair said tech-oriented companies capable of taking advantage of one-Gbps speeds would have access to the network’s full capacity
with all its startups and a lot of the bandwidth-heavy industries
they’ll be able to take advantage of that right from the get-go,” he said
who also serves as executive vice-president of Telus Health
said the rollout of ultra-fast Internet has the potential to change health care in Vancouver
to be able to consult with their doctor over video in the future is going to be so much more effective and less hard on individuals than the traditional methods we have today,” he said
Telus has already invested $1 billion in its health-tech division and has acquired electronic medical record companies including KinLogix and B.C.’s Wolf Medical Systems over the past four years
It has also partnered with the provincial Health Ministry on a pilot program providing home health-monitoring services to patients
president of Vancouver-based Net eMedical Technologies
said the big investment in gigabit Internet also means more market potential for companies other than Telus
“The better the results you will have for a number of applications
telemedicine being one of them,” said Iglesias
whose company develops software allowing clinicians and patients to communicate remotely
