How complicated is complicated enough? Will you remember it?

The CBC is reporting that an Interac transfer of cash between friends was stolen because, apparently, the sender’s password and security question were too weak and easy to guess. The thrust of the story is that the bank, RBC, won’t reimburse the sender because of this. The case involves two friends who bank at the same branch. The story makes a stab at explaining how this can happen but it will be over the heads of most readers. As to passwords, the eternal question is how easy is too easy? Or, how complicated and forgettable is safe? Most people have endless passwords, accumulated as they are ordered to renew them. It is the curse of the age.

You may just weep briefly in joy for Brianna Watts, 18 (left) a once homeless girl who worked hard and who, in recent days, has been told that she has been accepted at all 12 of the universities for which she applied. At the centre, Krista Noelle Madden, like many new mothers, appears to have fallen victim to postpartem depression. She is now accused of throwing her child off a cliff in North Carolina.  The baby survived and is said to be doing well. At the right is Anna Sorokin, a German woman who duped New York society into believing she was a European heiress even as she shook them down.

The semi-annual Park and Bark Show at the corner of Yonge St. and Millwood Rd. Saturday was well attended. The event is a series of booths for businesses selling dog accessories and food as well as unrelated firms wishing to solicit the dog set. There are always many fine dogs to be seen.

It’s a funny thing about Vladimir Putin’s annual exhibition match against former Russian NHL players. He always wins. It was the same Friday when Mr. Putin, 66, scored 8 (or maybe ten) goals. During a victory lap (because this about Russia having a macho leader not hockey) the president ran into carpet on the ice and fell on his face. He got up quickly and did not seem to have suffered any injury.

No winning ticket was sold for the $12 million jackpot in Friday night’s Lotto Max draw. The jackpot for the next draw on May 14 will be approximately $17 million.

A Red Deer, Alberta couple, Pam and Taylor Armstrong, have welcomed home their third set of fraternal twins. It is a happy occurrence calculated to take place merely once every 500,000 times. Pam, a former delivery nurse, and Taylor, a middle school teacher, have moved to a larger house to accommodate their family of eight. The newborns, Maverick and Blakely, were born April 20. slightly early at 37 weeks at Red Deer Regional Hospital. Their brother and sisters were eagerly waiting. They are Brynlee and Adileigh, 5, and Parker and Emery, 9. Parker was glad to see a brother in the crowd. The family says jokingly that he had threatened to move to an aunt and uncle with three boys if the newcomers were both girls. Pam says the four older siblings are “absolutely thrilled” to help out with the new babies. The five-year-old sisters seem especially keen at playing with the newborns. Red Deer Advocate

Mabel’s Fables

Saturday will be pleasant enough for the many outdoor events this weekend. Temps of 13 and 10 are predicted for the two days. There’s Mayfair, Park and Bark, the Awesome Sale and the Leaside Garden Society Sale in Trace Manes Park. The Mother’s Day balloons (upper left) at Longo’s on Laird Drive look like fun. We especially liked Mabel’s Fables reminder about wealth versus a loving mother:

Richer than I you can never be
I had a mother who read to me

Family, friends and the hockey world bid farewell to Red Kelly Friday morning at a funeral mass at Holy Rosary Catholic Church at St. Clair Ave. and Tweedsmuir Ave. .The eight-time Stanley Cup champion, who played 20 seasons with the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs, died last week at age 91. Leonard Patrick Kelly started his hockey career as a defenceman, but switched to centre after getting traded to Toronto. Kelly was Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1969 and was elected as a member of Parliament in Toronto twice in the 1960s while he was playing for the Leafs. He was a member of the franchise’s last team to raise the Stanley Cup in 1967. The native of Simcoe died on May 2 exactly 52 years to the day of that victory. Honorary pallbearers at the funeral included Frank Mahovlich, Darryl Sittler, Lanny McDonald, Bob Baun, Dick Duff, Ron Ellis, Dave Keon, Eddie Shack and Jim Gregory. Leafs president Brendan Shanahan, general manager Kyle Dubas, Detroit GM Steve Yzerman, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and former Toronto captain Wendel Clark were also in attendance. Red Kelly is survived by Andra, his wife of 60 years, their four children and eight grandchildren.

BC highway from Hope to Kamloops

France

The Ontario Government will conduct a two-year pilot program on sections of four-lane highway to see if the maximum speed should be increased to 110 km/h. Highway 402 from London to Sarnia, the QEW from St. Catharines to Hamilton, and Highway 417 from Ottawa to the Ontario-Quebec Border will soon see new signs. Speeds will be increased to 110 km/h starting in September. A speed limit of 120 km/h already exists on one BC highway and the limit is 110 in parts of Manitoba. Speed limits of 120 km/h are common in Europe.
