Health Canada Warning On Cough And Cold Products TORONTO: Health Canada says children and adolescents un- der age 18 should not use cough and cold products that contain opioids. A safety review by the federal department found there is limited evidence to support the effective- ness of the potent narcotics in cough and cold products in chil- dren and teens. The review found no strong ev- idence linking such products with opioid-use disorders in young Canadians, but it did determine their early use may be a factor in problematic substance use later in life. Three prescription opioids are authorized to treat cough symp- toms in Canada: codeine, hy- drocodone and normethadone. Codeine is also available without a prescription in low-dose formu- lations to treat coughs and colds over the counter. Health Cana- da advises parents to ask their health-care practitioner about alternatives to cough and cold products containing opioids for children and adolescents. The use of these opioid-con- taining products has been declin- ing among patients under age 18 in the last five years, with pre- scriptions for that age group now making up just four per cent of the total dispensed to Canadians. www.WeeklyVoice.com National Friday, February 22, 2019 | A-3 Hydro One Ordered To Cap CEO Pay At $1.5M TORONTO _ Ontario issued a directive and board members be paid no more than Thursday to Hydro One, ordering it to pay $80,000 per year. its CEO no more than $1.5 million per year Hydro One issued a brief statement in _ substantially less than the partially priva- response, confirming it had received the di- tized utility had proposed. rective. “The board will continue to focus Hydro One and the government have on its CEO search,’’ it said. been at loggerheads over executive com- Hydro One had said its proposed com- pensation, with the company refusing re- pensation framework took into account the peated requests to slash the CEO pay below need to attract, retain and motivate highly- $2,775,000. qualified leadership at Ontario’s largest Energy Minister Greg Rickford had electricity transmission and distribution asked Hydro One last week to come up provider, noting it is responsible for more with a revised executive compensation than $25 billion in assets and annual rev- Ontario’s Energy Minister Greg Rickford speaks as Labour Minister Laurie framework that set its CEO’s salary and enues of nearly $6 billion.

With a little research, travellers can find copies of ``The Negro Motorist Green Book’’ online and retrace the route in the movie or develop their own tours of sites that once provided refuge to African-Americans. The Peter Farrelly film follows an Italian-Amer- ican bouncer, played by Viggo Mortensen, as he drives a prominent black classical pianist, played by Mahershala Ali, during a 1962 music tour through Jim Crow-era America. To avoid conflict and to Charles Becknell, Sr., 77, holds a protect the pianist, Mortensen’s character uses the copy of 1954 the edition of “The Green Book _ a guide published from 1936 to 1966 Negro Motorist Green Book” at his by Harlem postal worker Victor H.

Inside, readers will find listings in almost every state with addresses of places that catered to African American travellers amid of world of ``Whites Only’’ restaurants, hotels and other establishments across the United States. Some of the places featured in the travel guide still exist, at least as shadows of their former selves. In Birmingham, Alabama, the city of the final per- formance in the movie, the once black-owned A.G. Gaston Motel is now part of a national monument established by then-President Barack Obama. The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and aides stayed at the motel while planning demonstrations against legal- ized racial segregation in the city in 1963. Now abandoned and owned by the city, the motel once was an upscale haven with a restaurant and live music for blacks seeking safety in a place known as the most segregated city in America. It eventually will be refurbished as part of plans that call for it to become a centerpiece of the Birmingham Civil Rights National Monument. About 90 miles to the south, in Montgomery, King often got his hair cut in a barber shop inside the Ben Moore Hotel, which was a Green Book fixture at the time King was pastoring a church in Alabama’s capital in the 1950s. The hotel still stands on a cor- ner, vacant and decaying. Meanwhile, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the De Anza Motor Lodge, a business owned by Zuni trader and Indian art collector Charles G. Wallace, along the historic Route 66 is still standing, barely. It offered black motorists opportunities for a good night’s rest and a chance to catch a nearby show of American Indian and Mexican-American doo-wop singers. The motel was listed in some editions of the Green Book and is undergoing renovation after years of being abandoned. The Threatt Filling Station in Luther, Oklahoma, is on the National Register of Historic Places for its distinction as a black-owned filling station along the Route 66 ``Mother Road.’’ The Threatt family’s recent partnership with historians to preserve the former station and the movie ``Green Book’’ have brought about a renaissance of sorts for the struc- ture, The Oklahoman reported in December. Charles Becknell, Sr., 77, of Rio Rancho, New Mexico, said he bought a 1954 edition of the Green Book online after he saw the movie. The retired ed- ucator plans on visiting some of the sites mentioned in the book to see what’s there now. ``I also wanted my grandchild to see this book for themselves,’’ Becknell said. To be sure, some of the sites mentioned in the Green Book no longer exist and the buildings that once housed them have been replaced or torn down. Frank’s Restaurant in New York City’s Harlem neighbourhood, advertised in the 1959 Green Book edition, is long gone and a new defunct discount store occupies the spot.

Bentley Motors has revealed full details of the world’s fastest production SUV. The Bentayga Speed features an enhanced 635 PS (626 bhp) version of the renowned 6.0-litre W12 engine that delivers a top speed of 306 km/h and 0–100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. Designed, engineered and handcrafted in Great Britain, the Bentayga Speed is the most pow- erful and performance-oriented Bentayga to date. It builds on a long tradition of Speed models that was born with the Continental GT in 2007 and pushes the boundaries of Ben- tayga performance further since claiming the production SUV re- cord at the gruelling Pikes Peak International Hill Climb last year.
