Fire ravages the Ukrainian Cultural Centre on Kenilworth Ave in Hamilton/Lance Chronicle Twitter

Badly damaged/Hamilton Fire

Fire has badly damaged the Ukrainian Cultural Centre on Kenilworth Ave in Hamilton overnight. The blaze at the two-storey east-end building Avenue broke out shortly after midnight when the centre was empty. No one was hurt. An official with Hamilton Fire says that when crews first arrived on scene flames could be seen coming from the roof of the building. A runoff election for the Ukrainian president will be held April 21 and Ukrainians living in Canada and the US are eligible to vote. It seems possible the centre might have played a role in that voting.

Paul Allen’s odd dream takes flight in Mojave, California

This Saturday has seen the enormous Stratolaunch satellite launcher aircraft take off from the Mojave desert north of Los Angeles. The six-engined megajet with the wingspan of an American football field is the product of Stratolaunch Systems, the company founded in 2011 by the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. It is described as a giant flying launch pad, designed to hurtle satellites into low Earth orbit. It aims to offer the military, private companies and even NASA itself a more economical way to get into space.

A street-corner argument between a pedestrian, 25, and three persons in a car at King West and Brant Sts. prompted someone in a red-coloured Lexus (below) to open fire on the man. As many as four shots were fired. Remarkably, the victim is said to be recovering from his wound. Police say he was standing on a sidewalk when he became involved in the yelling match. Witnesses or others are asked to call 14 Division, (416) 808-1400.

The voluminous Ontario budget seems to march across all aspects of daily life in the province and make changes previously unimagined, especially under the fretful Wynne government. Ontarians will be able to gamble on their phones and at desk tops in both lottery form and one-off event wagering. As Cynthia Mulligan reports, the implications of changes to car insurance, health care, transit and much else remain fully unknown until the fat budget book is better understood.

Rock and Play vibrates to make a child sleep

According to accumulated data, more than 30 infants have died in the US in the Fisher-Price Rock and Play sleeper. Growing concern about product, sold first in 2009, has caused the US consumer authorities to issue an urgent recall. Most of the babies were over three months and died when they rolled over and smothered in the vibrating sleeper. The same product is sold in Canada but regulations say it can only be used as a soother, not for unattended sleep. Just how this is policed seems elusive. It’s purpose is to make the infant go to sleep. Health Canada wrote to Mattel Canada in 2011 with concerns about the product, referring to Safe Sleep recommendations from Health Canada, the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Canadian Pediatric Society.
