has enough terrorists.We do not need the police to create more,\u201d \t\tU1\ti j\ti üi\tKJ\t\t\tBruce said.Greasing the wheel, or building it?GRANTED.THESE OLYMPICS DO SEEM TO HAVE A SLIGHT IMAGE PROBLEM.Mike McDevitt I'ust over two weeks ago, a British Columbia Supreme Court Justice threw out a jury\u2019s decision to convict a ung couple of terrorism charges and issued a scathing indictment of RCMP tactics that brought the case to trial.In her decision, Justice Catherine Bruce slammed the federal police force for its use of \u201ctrickery, deceit and veiled threats\u201d to lure John Nuttall and Amanda Korody, both described as \u2018recovering heroin addicts\u201d into a plot to plant pressure cooker bombs at the B.C legislature on Canada day three years ago.\u201cThe world has enough terrorists.We do not need the police to create more,\u201d Bruce said in her landmark ruling, characterizing the RCMP\u2019s methods as \u201cmulti-faceted and systematic manipulation.There is clearly a need to curtail the actions of police .to ensure that future undercover investigations do not follow the same path.\u201d Describing the couple as socially isolated, marginalized, and dependent on methadone and welfare, Bruce portrayed them as \u2018all talk and no action,\u201d and incapable of devising the plot on their own.The decision was not greeted kindly by the Crown, which has stated its intent to appeal; or by the RCMP itself, which responded with characteristic humility by immediately re-arresting the couple on a peace bond before they were finally released.The case is considered to be the first time in Canada that an argument of\u2018entrapment\u2019 was used in a terrorism case.It is not the first time, however, that the Mounties have been accused of questionable behaviour in national security issues.In the 70s, their activities involving Quebec sovereignists was also highly criticized.In Bruce\u2019s ruling, the judged essentially said that no crime would have been possible without egregious involvement of the police themselves.She said the accused were \u2018no threat\u2019 to society and \u2018not smart enough\u2019 to have devised the plot for which they were accused.Nuttall and Korody were recent converts to Islam and witnesses had described hearing them indicate that they would like to cause mayhem during Canada Day celebrations in retaliation for Canada\u2019s mistreatment of Muslims in Afghanistan and elsewhere.Without the assistance of the police, the judge ruledthe two would never have been able to devise and carry out their plan, saying \u201cUltimately, their role in carrying out the plan was minuscule compared to what the police had to do.It was the police who were the leaders of the plot.\u201d Since September 11, 2001, North Americans have been particularly sensitive to the question of Islamic extremism, a sensitivity that has been heightened by a couple of individually executed attacks, and several \u2018foiled\u2019 plots by our intrepid national security services.These have also been granted extended powers to combat the potential threat, partly on the basis of plots they have \u2018revealed\u2019 before they could be carried out.The recent decision casts a huge shadow on their much-vaunted successes and forces us to examine just how far police can go in the use of informants and undercover tactics.It also impugns the credibility of law enforcement in general.Nuttall and Korody are not exactly paragons of civic virtue.As recovering drug addicts living on social welfare, the two epitomize the public\u2019s view of the \u2018dregs of society\u2019 and there is no doubt that they firmly believed they were planting real explosives in order to cause severe physical harm to both infrastructure and human beings.The defense argued, however, that their plot would not have ever reached fruition without the active and aggressive participation of the police themselves.The investigation into the plot involved some 240 officers and lasted several months.The couple\u2019s defense team pointed out that the two did not have the money, weapons, or even the transportation needed to carry out their ambitions without the active assistance from police undercover officers, and that their talk would have remained just that if police had not intervened.They argued that the couple was vulnerable to manipulation and were constantly urged by agents to come up with a plan.\u201cWe don\u2019t criminalize thought in our country,\u201d Nuttall\u2019s lawyer said.\u201cWe don\u2019t criminalize crazy ideas.There are a lot of people with crazy ideas who are not inclined to act on them.\u201d The crime for which the couple was convicted ranks highest among those that the Canadian public would consider serious at the best of times, but in an era when the press and the government both benefit from exaggerating its importance, police are under considerable pressure to be as active as possible, particularly as these plots seemed to have been popping up frequently with the case of the Toronto 18 and the VIA Rail plot and Canadians are understandably concerned for their safety.But seeking out disenfranchised, frustrated, and easily manipulated people to star in a po- lice-scripted plot is going far beyond the pale.It is reminiscent of the active participation of undercover agents in the crimes of nationalist groups in Quebec in the 1970s.They RCMP was thoroughly humiliated when these activities were revealed, and it appears that they have either forgotten or never learned the lessons from that era.In a situation where terror is likely, extending the powers of security forces is a logical response.However, as we are constantly being told, increased power demands increased responsibility.Simply providing the first is not sufficient.When police forces attempt to isolate those whom they deem menacing by creating not only the potential for crime but its actual enactment, we have to pay attention.Thinking evil things and holding unpopular ideas is not enough to send people to prison in Canada yet and it\u2019s important to make sure it never is.Freedom of opinion is only a real thing if it protects unpopular opinion too.The Crown has appealed Judge Bruce\u2019s decision and it is entirely possible that this pathetic couple will be once again convicted of a horrible crime.But if their chief accomplices and the masterminds of the conspiracy, however, are treated as heroes, there\u2019s something decidedly wrong.Police should prevent crime, not invent it.RECORD 1195 Galt East, Sherbrooke, Quebec JIG 1Y7 Fax: 819-821-3179 e-mail: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Website: www.sherbrookerecord.com Sharon

CONSOLIDATION.For shortterm memory to become long-term memory, the initial neuronal pathways must be strengthened.When an event is emotionally charged, it is more likely to become part of long-term memory.Once a memory is established (consolidated), it is stored in areas of the cerebral cortex.That\u2019s the large, domed outer layer of the brain.The memories that endure are those that were encoded most completely in the first place \u2014 the information that you paid the closest attention to when you learned it.Memories that involve multiple senses as well as emotions are more likely to be retained.For example, like me, you probably remember exactly what you were doing when you heard about the 9/11 terrorist attacks.You probably remember who else was with you, where you were, and the first picture you saw of the twin towers.That\u2019s because the emotional charge of learning that our country had been attacked caused you to store everything about that moment in your memory.But, like me, you probably have no idea what you were doing exactly 24 hours before and 24 hours after you heard about the 9/11 attacks.STAGE 3; RETRIEVAL.Memories are stored in the brain inside certain small groups of nerve cells (neurons).Each cell has little projections that, microscopically, look like tiny trees with branches and twigs.Connections between the \u201ctrees\u201d of two cells are called synapses.Two nerve cells talk to each other through the synapse.When you\u2019re not thinking about a memory, the synapses are inactive.When you want to recall a memory, your brain must reactivate the synapses.You asked if a person who loses memories loses them forever.Until recently, we thought that was probably the case.However, exciting new research indicates that \u201clost\u201d memories may not have been destroyed.They may just have been made inaccessible \u2014 and potentially recoverable.In tomorrow\u2019s column I\u2019ll discuss that research.(This column is an update of one that originally ran in September 20136.)

leave her an easy out by being understanding.Don\u2019t ask and you risk their assuming you blew off their invitation.Do ask and you risk their feeling slightly awkward for a few minutes as they let you know they had to trim the guest list.The first scenario would look much worse on your end.Dear Annie: We built a custom home back in 2005.Even though we checked out the contractors beforehand, they walked off the job and took all of our money.We were certain that we would win a lawsuit and took out loans and cash advances to try to finish the house.Long story short, the house was never finished, and our lawsuit never went to court.Our attorney advised us to file for bankruptcy and then discharge it to stay in the house longer.Our creditors are sending 1099s to the 1RS.Their thought is that if we didn\u2019t pay off the debts, we must have used the money as income.My husband and I disagree as to what to do.Should we make arrangements with the collection agencies to pay off the debts, seeing as we did run up these amounts, or should we just wait until the 1099s show up?Paying off the debts would not change our credit scores.If we were to leave where we are living now, we wouldn\u2019t be able to pass a credit check to rent.We are seniors on a fixed income and don\u2019t know what to do.With the bad contractors, bad choices and bad legal advice, we don\u2019t seem to have a future.\u2014 Not-So-Golden Years Dear Not-So-Golden: I know you\u2019re under extreme duress right now, but it\u2019s not so dire as you think.There are nonprofit resources for seniors in your shoes.Your best option is to enlist the help of a credit counseling agency, which can help you determine the best way to approach your situation.Consult the National Foundation for Credit Counseling at debtadvice.org to find one.Stay away from any for-profit agencies, which are typically predatory and would only worsen your situation.Be grateful for health and loved ones.You might be under a lot of stress right now, but you do have a future.Try to find the sliver of a silver lining where you can.Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearan-nie@creators.com.CROSSWORD Across 1\t24 minutes, in the NBA 5 Giant among wholesale clubs 9 Heat unit 14\tRideshare app 15\t_-deucey 16\tGreat Lakes mnemonic 17\tAuthor Wiesel 18\tImprobable tale 19\tCandy heart message 20\tPosition of football lineman J.J.Watt 23\tSound heard by a shepherd 24\tIntense, as a competitor 28 Average, in math 33\tUnsteady on one\u2019s feet 34\tCountry rocker Steve 35\t\u201c_& the Women\u201d: 2000 Gere film 36\tDivisions of tennis matches 37\tActress Holmes 38\tTicked off 39\t\u201cHow was__know?\u201d 40\tDiamond weight 41\tWord before Master or case 42\tFountain treat with Bosco, maybe 45\tBiblical dancer 46\tFor each 47\tEchoic remark before \u201cWhat do we have here?\u201d whose words can follow the ends of 20-, 28- and 42-Across 54 Many Mideast residents 57\tVerdi opera set in Egypt 58\tColor similar to turquoise 59\t\u201890s candidate Ross 60\tHosp.scans 61\tRoad grooves 62\tJapanese capital 63\tLiterary sister of Amy, Meg and Jo 64\tMagnitude Down 1\tTinged 2\tHaving the skills 3\tActor/singer Garrett 4\tThey\u2019re on the house 5\tPrepares to have one\u2019s tongue depressed 6\tHealthy berry 7\tGriffin of game show fame 8\t\u201cAuld Lang_\u201d 9\tSkating danger 10\tTexas_: poker game 11\tBig Australian bird 12\tGun, as an engine 13\tThe Spartans of the NCAA 21\tPart of NFL: Abbr.22\tTurboTax option 25\tHardwood tree that drops acorns 26\tFisher who plays Princess Leia 27\tCome in 28\t\u201cQueen of Soul\u201d Franklin 29\tEquip anew, as a machine shop 30\tBen Stiller\u2019s mom 31\tReally bother 32\tClichéd 33\tNike competitor 37\tSuperman\u2019s birth name 38\tSci-fi classic that introduced Princess Leia 40\tRegains consciousness 41\tPoet Silverstein 43\tFrequent John Wayne persona 44\tA cannonball makes a big one 48\tShepherd\u2019s charge 49\tLamp-to-plug line 50\tImprove text 51\tSame: Pref.52\tSkating jump 53\tCut with light 54\tFitting 55\tRock\u2019s__Speedwagon 56\tGenesis boat A\tT\tC\t0\tS\tT\t\tA\tP\tP\tR\t1\tS\tE\tD T\tR\tI\tu\tN\tE\t1\tP\tA\tR\t1\tS\tH\tE\tS M\t!\tC\tR\t0\ts\tC\t0\tP\tE\tM\t0\tU\tN\tT A\tB\tA\t¦\tW\tT\tA\t\t\tM\tE\tN\tT\t\t P\tA\tD\tS\t¦\tE\tN\tS\tU\tE\t\t\t0\tE\tD P\tL\tA\tY\tG\tR\t0\tu\tN\tD\tC\tH\tU\tT\tE \t\t\tR\tE\tS\tE\tN\tD\t\tL\tA\tT\tT\tE M\tA\tR\tI\t0\t\t\t\t\t\t1\tN\tS\tU\tM I\tL\tI\tA\tD\t\tD\tA\tR\t1\tN\tG\t\t\t R\tU\tN\tN\tE\tR\tS\tM\tA\tN\tE\tU\tV\tE\tR 0\tM\tG\t\t\tE\tL\tE\tN\tA\t¦\tP\t1\tC\t0 \t\tT\tA\t0\tS\t\t\tT\tM\t'\t¦\tS\tH\tU T\tR\t0\tM\tB\t0\tN\tE\tS\tE\tC\tT\t1\t0\tN I\tN\tS\tP\tI\tR\t1\tT\t|\ts\tE\t1\tN\tE\tD C\tA\ts\tS\tE\tT\tT\tE\t\ts\tT\tE\tE\tD\tS E-mail your social notes to classad@sherbrookerecord.com pressljLVVLU Printed and distribut PressReader.com ?ad by PressReader + 1 604 278 4604 ND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW?
