Fishing shacks have to be off the ice next week

The province has ordered fishermen to get their ice fishing shacks off the ice earlier than usual.

Normally the shacks have to be ashore by March 31st…but the Environment Department has shortened the season this year because of the mild weather to March 13th in the south.  Several shack owners in Rothesay have already taken steps to avoid losing their property and moved them to the shore.

UdeM blocking some emails now

The Universite de Moncton says it has figured out a way to block those malicious emails aimed at a female student.

Ten have turned up in the email accounts of student and staff since February 25th. The university issued a statement yesterday saying its I-T department is now blocking some emails from external organizations.  So those legitimate organizations may get a message back that their email was not delivered.

University president Raymond Theberge initially rejected that plan saying that as a university it had to keep communications open and that shutting down the email system would send the message that the attacker was winning.
