But despite the damning facts that convicted Lyle and Erik Menendez, and the unflattering media sensation of their trial, the brothers were spared the executioner’s needle by a California jury, which recommended a life sentence instead. The pair had argued that the shotgun slayings of their father Jose, a high-flying executive, and his wife, Kitty, in their Beverly Hills mansion were acts of self-defence following years of physical and sexual abuse. The brothers had gotten away with it for seven months, spending lavishly on cars and trips, before Erik con- fessed to his psychologist. The first trial ended with a jury deadlock, but the jury in the retrial was unconvinced by their defence. – Joe Friesen

U.S. POLITICS Clinton aims to show Iowa the ‘real Hillary’ The state often makes or breaks presidential candidates in party nomination season, and hopefuls are expected to meet with voters

...... MARCUS GEE DES MOINES, IOWA ...... illary Clinton spent much of Hher first week on the campaign trail trying to prove that, despite all her years as a Wash- ington insider, she is still just folks. Instead of kicking off her second run for the presidency with a splashy campaign rally or an airport-hopping dash around the country, she climbed into a big, black GMC van and, tweet- ing “Road trip!,” headed out from her home in Chappaqua, N.Y., to the heartland state of Iowa. Along the way she stopped to have her picture taken with an everyday family at a gas station and grab a chicken burrito bowl at a fast-food restaurant. As she travelled, allies lined up to inform Americans what a lovely person she is. Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe told CNN that his friend is simply “a load of fun to be with.” If the two are on vacation, talking policy, she might even have a cock- tail or two. “She’s got a great belly laugh.” Why it should matter that Ms. Clinton is a load of fun is a bit of a mystery. She is an accom- plished politician who has served her country as a powerful U.S. senator and represented it abroad as secretary of state. Shouldn’t it be her character and her ideas, not whether she Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, centre, has coffee with members of the community at the Tremont Grille in Marshalltown, Iowa, on Wednesday. is likable or not, that matter?

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Modi attracts protesters in B.C. stop Activists take on Indian PM for alleged human-rights abuses, but supporters, politicians out in force to greet him

...... IAIN MARLOW ANDREA WOO VANCOUVER ...... Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived at a Vancouver temple to a crowd of placard-waving protesters, a reminder that the polarizing Hindu nationalist politician is beloved by the global business community but still dis- dained by many social activists in India and abroad. On the last leg of the first bilateral visit by a sitting Indian Prime Minister in 42 years, which was marked earlier by thousands of cheering Indo-Canadians at the Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto, Mr. Modi stopped at a historic Sikh temple in Vancouver and a Hindu temple in Surrey, B.C., before heading off for a state dinner with Prime Minister Stephen Harper. At the Sikh temple, though, he was greeted by around 200 protesters – a much different reception from that same morning in Toronto, where he met with a select group of business leaders from BlackBerry and major banks. The protesters’ signs carried slogans such as “Human rights before trade deals,” “Modi Protesters picket outside a Sikh temple in Surrey, B.C., that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited with Stephen Harper on Thursday.

JUSTICE Eaton Centre shooter to serve at least 30 years

...... COLIN PERKEL TORONTO 5-Year ...... * A man who shot two people in a Fixed Rate crowded downtown food court 2.74% was sentenced on Thursday to at least 30 years behind bars – an unprecedented sentence for second-degree murder. Ontario Superior Court Justice Eugene Ewaschuk, who denounced the crimes as horrific and outrageous, decided Christo- pher Husbands will be ineligible for parole for 15 years for each killing. Justice Ewaschuk also Let the decided the periods of parole ineligibility should be served consecutively. “It’s an unprecedented sentence for second-degree murder in Canada – it’s literally never been given,” defence lawyer Dirk Derstine said. “He’s in shock house hunting because of the sentence.” Mr. Husbands was convicted of two counts of second-degree murder for the shooting at the landmark Eaton Centre in June, 2012, that also critically injured a 13-year-old boy. The 26-year-old was also convicted of five counts of aggravat- begin. ed assault, one count of criminal negligence causing bodily harm and one count of recklessly dis- charging a firearm. The murder convictions carry an automatic life sentence with no parole for at least 10 years. However, the federal government recently changed the law to allow periods of parole ineligibility in murder cases to be consecutive, rather than concurrent. Mr. Husbands’s defence team had launched a constitutional challenge to the sentencing pro- visions, arguing they amounted to cruel and unusual punish- Home ownership happens ment, but Justice Ewaschuk rejected the challenge. withaTDMortgage.

The shooting – captured on surveillance video – sparked mayhem in the mall and left Connor Stevenson, who was shot in the head, clinging to life. He would need four surgeries and still has bullet fragments in his head. His father, Craig Stevenson, called the sentencing appropriate, saying it reflected the horror inflicted on the victims. “We really have to stand up and Visitabranchor show that we’re not going to put up with gun violence, so kudos to tdcanadatrust.com/mortgagerates the judge for making that hard decision,” Mr. Stevenson said. “We’ve got to make sure we put the punishment in place to deter *Assuming no additional fees are charged, the Annual Percentage Rate is the same as the interest rate.

WILDLIFE INVESTIGATION Spring seal hunt Winnipeg ...... Ballet fires staffer amid police probe

...... STEVE LAMBERT WINNIPEG ...... The Royal Winnipeg Ballet has dismissed an instructor amid a police investigation into complaints that nude photos were taken of former female dance students. The ballet company announced Thursday it had parted ways with Bruce Monk, who was named by Maclean’s magazine as being under investigation for allegedly taking nude and semi-nude photos of teenage female students in the 1980s and 90s. The magazine reported it had spoken with four women who said Mr. Monk took photos of them when they were under 18.

The Great Beer Leap Forward will at least bring beer to more stores – some grocery stores, even – but the system isn’t really changing. Nor is the Liberal government’s attitude to the industry. Politicians will be, more than ever, deciding who gets to sell beer and who does not, and which beer, where, when, how and at what price. Competition will still be largely forbidden. But, good news: If you are unhappy about anything, please write to the new Beer Ombudsman. He’s there to listen. Premier Kathleen Wynne announced the new beer strategy on Thursday, with her Twitter feed appropriating the hashtag #Free- TheBeer. If only it were about that. Until now, The Beer Store has been a private monopoly, owned by three major non-Canadian brewers, and maintained by an assid- uously lobbied and greased provincial government.

But it is Orwellian hypocrisy for the U.S. agricultural negotiator to issue warnings to her Canadian counterparts (through gullible Canadian journalists) about changes to supply management being the price of success. Cana- dians should not forget that these threats emanate from a representative of an administration with farm subsidies – on a host of agricultural commodities – so large that they dwarf those of every country on Earth. One also has to wonder for whom American negotiators speak. At least the agricultural negotiator’s Canadian counterpart represents a government that has the authority not only to negotiate, but also to conclude trade agreements. The biggest fly in the TPP oint- ment at this juncture is that the U.S. administration does not yet have such authority from Con- gress.

FROM PAGE 1 Transgender: CAMH clinic approved 177 surgeries last year, up from 59 in 2010

...... Coverage varies from place 9 to place, and it remains difficult to obtain surgeries and the hormone treatments that should precede them. A private Montre- al clinic is the only place in Can- ada that offers “bottom” surgery – genital reconstruction – while trans people who need estrogen or testosterone to begin their transitions often struggle to find co-operative doctors. “We’re not quite hitting the mark as a country,” said Adrian Edgar, a New Brunswick doctor who opened that province’s first trans-friendly health clinic earlier this year inside Fredericton’s former Morgentaler clinic. “I don’t think there’s a province that is providing the full gamut of surgeries that would truly decrease the discrimination that people feel on a daily basis.” Waiting for gender reassignment surgery can have serious consequences, said Greta Bauer, an associate professor of epide- miology and biostatistics at the University of Western Ontario in London. “People’s lives are actually at risk,” she said.

GREECE COURTS Police, protesters and paint Former ...... rap mogul to stand trial on murder charges

...... BRIAN MELLEY RAQUEL MARIA DILLON LOS ANGELES ...... Marion (Suge) Knight will stand trial on murder and attempted- murder charges after the former rap music mogul struck two men with his pickup truck in January, killing one and seriously injuring the other. Superior Court Justice Ronald Coen made the ruling Thursday after concluding a hearing that focused heavily on testimony from Cle (Bone) Sloan, who was hit outside a Compton burger stand. The judge also reduced bail from $25-million (U.S.) to $10-million. Mr. Sloan told detectives he attacked Mr. Knight but testified Monday he didn’t remember the fight and did not want to be a “snitch.” Prosecutors played Mr. Sloan’s statement to police, which offered a lucid, detailed account of the events Jan. 29 that led up to the deadly encounter. Authorities contend Mr. Knight intentionally hit the Riot police, who had red paint thrown on their shields, face off against leftist protesters at a rally in Athens seeking the abolition of new high-security men, killing Terry Carter, 55.

Step Outside

Every September, teenagers from across Canada choose to step outside of their comfort zones at NJC. While studying Canadian Grade 12 and AP curriculum from their new home in Switzerland, they explore a dozen countries, debate in the Model UN, pause in Flanders Fields, network at the Canada-Swiss Chamber of Commerce, ski the Alps, cycle through vineyards and play hockey at the base of the Matterhorn. Academic preparedness, international exposure and guidance expertise lead to acceptances from the ﬁnest universities across Canada and abroad. New independence within a small school community enables them to understand who they are and realize how their passions and talents will one day contribute on a global scale.

Two natural gas pipelines to be built by TransCanada – the $5-billion Prince Rupert Gas Transmission plan and the $1.7- billion North Montney Mainline VANCOUVER | CALGARY | EDMONTON | WINNIPEG | TORONTO | MONTREAL – are vital elements in Pacific NorthWest LNG’s quest to export natural gas in liquid form to customers in Asia. “This is another important piece of the puzzle to help us build an industry capable of supporting the demands of a global energy market,” a B.C. Natural Gas Development Ministry spokeswoman said. Both TransCanada lines hinge on the LNG project getting the go-ahead from Petronas and its Asian partners. The two pipeline projects are part of $36-billion in estimated spending required to launch exports from Pacific NorthWest LNG’s proposed $11.4-billion terminal on Lelu Island, located near Prince Rupert in northwest- ern British Columbia.

TECHNOLOGY Lightness weighs heavily on designers There are many considerations when it comes to shedding kilos from a vehicle

...... MATT BUBBERS ...... eighing only two pounds, WApple’s latest laptop is insanely light. It’s less than half the weight of this obsolete jugger- naut on which I’m typing now. Never mind that Apple’s new gadget is obscenely, satirically expensive – also underpowered and lacking in basic features – it’s light! And being light is – for better, or far more often for worse – deeply important in our efficiency-obsessed era. Vehicles are among the last consumer products to develop a weight complex. Although, for cars at least, lightness is a virtue. The benefits of making cars lighter are potentially enormous. It could be a rare win-win for both speed freaks and ecowar- riors. On one hand, basic physics dictate a lighter car will accelerate with more ferocity and handle with greater finesse. It will be more fun to drive. On the other hand, a lighter car takes less energy to move, allowing engineers to spec smaller, more fuel-efficient engines. Why, then, aren’t our cars getting insanely light like our lap- tops? The answer’s not as obvious as you might think.

Balancing cost and weight is a priority for McLaren’s 570s. The carbon fibre tub that forms the base of the passenger compartment weighs just 80 kilograms.

OPENING TODAY MONKEY KINGDOM ...... ##½ Disneynature’s latest creature feature, set among a colony of toque macaques living around abandoned temples in Sri Lanka, involves the usual trade-off between cinematographic pizazz and cornball narration (this time from Tina Fey). The story involves a hierarchical society, including three senior “mean girls,” and the efforts of low-born mom, Maya, to help her irrepressible son, Kip, become a mighty king. The story of the colony’s exile and return feels like a dull sermon, but the animals themselves, with their expressive faces and Moe Howard hairdos, can switch from slapstick to pathos faster than Charlie Chaplin. Set pieces range from a scene of monkeys leaping balletically to feast on termite flies to outright horror-comedy when the troupe enters an empty house where a child’s birthday party has been carefully prepared, and go full Jackson Pollock on the scene.

REPRODUCTIVE CHOICES Pregnant at 65? Unusual, but it’s her right Annegret Raunigk’s late-life pregnancy highlights society’s discomfort with women exercising more control over their bodies

......

LEAH McLAREN

...... he news this week that Anne- Tgret Raunigk, a teacher from Germany and mother of 13, is pregnant with quadruplets at the age of 65, set off hot debate in the German parliament and a great deal of gawking from the international press. Raunigk is an enig- ma wrapped in a maternity smock because, despite her desire to pop out pups like a Pez dispen- ser, she looks remarkably young for her age and strangely (there is no other way to say it) happy. Why anyone would want to put their own health at risk to turn their home into a daycare centre is beyond me, but for some reason this is what Raunigk, with the help of donor eggs and a few rounds of Ukrainian in vitro fertilization, has chosen to do. Setting aside for a moment the issue of whether pregnancy at 65 is medically safe (it probably isn’t), I think we need to examine our collective cultural revulsion at the notion of late motherhood. Countless experts have stood up this week to declare Raunigk’s choice to proceed with her pregnancy a crime against nature, bi- ology and “natural” family Annegret Raunigk holds one of her 13 children, Lelia.

RESEARCH Decoding the science of knuckle-cracking With an MRI, researchers have looked inside the joint as it cracks, learning more about the sound it makes and general joint health

...... BOB WEBER EDMONTON ...... team of crack researchers Afinally may have solved the mystery of knuckle-popping. In a study published Wednes- day, University of Alberta scientists describe how modern imaging technology has shed new light on the age-old riddle of why some joints crack when you pull them. “It’s something that every culture, every society is interested in,” said Greg Kawchuk, lead author of the paper published in the online journal Plos One. “We all do it. People love it or are repulsed by it.” But nobody had actually looked closely at how the noise beloved by annoying uncles is created. The first paper on the subject dates back to 1947, said Kaw- chuk. It theorized the crack comes from an air cavity created by the sudden separation of the two affected joints. Nonsense, said a 1971 rejoinder in scientific knuckle-cracking lit- erature, which suggested the pop is the result of an air pocket col- Above: Greg Kawchuk is part of the “But what we did observe is lapsing.

...... RAPTORS Can Toronto’s backcourt click? Much of the playoffs will depend on how Lowry, DeRozan play, who had stellar moments this season but rarely at the same time

...... RACHEL BRADY TORONTO ...... yle Lowry stood eavesdrop- Kping in the doorway, a hood pulled over his head and a smirk washing over his lips. He peeked into the room as his backcourt teammate and close friend DeMar DeRozan stood at the podium addressing reporters giddy with NBA playoff fever. DeRozan glanced casually in his point guard’s direction, and the two Toronto Raptors conversed without words. The looks they shared likely conveyed something such as, “These people think they know us,” or “Enough questions already, let’s just play.” That Lowry smirk, though, seemed to curl up as his friend was asked about their potential together. Each has had stellar moments this season, but rarely at the same time. If the two stars of Toronto’s backcourt could both reach their peak performance in the playoffs, what heights could the Raptors reach? “We can get done whatever we want to get done, honestly,” DeRozan said, leaving the podium as he ushered in his friend, shoving him like a boy would his brother. “And with that, I bring in The Toronto Raptors’ Kyle Lowry knows he and DeMar DeRozan will be the team’s focal point during the playoffs.

JOHN SAUNDERS AUSTON (SANDY) John Auston, geologist, world traveller, philanthropist, avid photographer, beloved husband, brother, devoted father and grandfather, died Sunday morning in Vancouver after a long and valiant fight with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He was 77. John was born in Charlottetown, PEI, grew up in Montreal with his siblings David and Shirray, and attended McGill University, where he studied geology. A 40-year veteran of the mining industry, he spent much of his career in Toronto with the Selection Trust Group of London (which in 1981 became the minerals arm of British Petroleum). His working life took him and his family to Sydney, Australia; Denver, Colorado; Canada’s Ghislaine Landry, left, runs past Australia’s Emilee Cherry during their World Rugby Women’s Sevens Melbourne, Australia; and ultimately Vancouver.
