Medicine Hat police seeking men for information about seniors beating death

Posted on by

Police are hoping to speak with three men who may have information into the 2012 death of a Medicine Hat senior who was beaten to death before her body was discovered in her burning home.

The body of 94-year-old Hazel Lloyd was discovered inside a Medicine Hat suite after fire crews and police officers were called to the seniors Riverside apartment Aug. 29, 2012, to respond to a blaze.

An autopsy later revealed Lloyd had died of multiple blunt-force injuries.

At the time, police said items inside the apartment were deliberately set on fire after the senior died. It also didnt look like a break-and-enter as it appears nothing was taken from her residence.

Lloyd lived alone. According to an obituary published in September 2012, Lloyd was born in Whitewood, Sask., but was raised in the Battleford district. She moved to Medicine Hat after retiring in 1983.

On Sunday, Medicine Hat Police released composite sketches of three men who may have information about Lloyds homicide.

Weve now obtained enough information that we felt comfortable in putting out these composites, said Staff Sgt. Brian Christmann with the Medicine Hat Police Services major crimes section.

Christmann said the men are not considered suspects, rather they are people who may have information.

Anyone who can help identify the men is being asked to contact the Major Crimes Section at 403-529-8420.

Britain looking to integrate traditional Chinese medicine with NHS

Posted on by

LONDON, April 7 (UPI) -- Britain is looking at incorporating traditional Chinese medicines with the National Health Service, but only if there is sufficient scientific evidence.

Jeremy Hunt, Britain's secretary of state for health, said his visits to China, the home country of his wife, better acquainted him with Chinese medicine, which involves herbs, acupuncture and massage therapy, the Daily Telegraph reported.

David Tredinnick, a Conservative MP, asked Hunt during a session in the House of Commons: In your travels to the Peoples Republic of China, what have you learnt about the integration of Western medicines with traditional Chinese medicine?

Currently, NHS Choices said the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommends -- based on scientific evidence -- acupuncture as a treatment only for lower back pain.

Medicine Hat offers subsidy to homeowners for flood protection

Posted on by

Hundreds of vulnerable homes in Medicine Hat are now protected against future floods because of a new program that provides owners with up to $2,000 each to install isolation valves that eliminate sewer backup when high waters hit.

While the province balked at funding the initiative through its disaster recovery program, the southeastern Alberta city found $1 million from its own coffers to protect local residents.

Were getting sick and tired of floods so we decided to solve this problem once and for all, Medicine Hat Mayor Ted Clugston said.

Its probably going to save us, the province and insurance companies big dollars in the long run.

Most municipalities in Alberta already require one-way valves on new homes that operate automatically and can withstand 35 kilopascals of backup flow.

But Medicine Hats program is retrofitting houses with isolation devices that are manually closed prior to a flood and can withstand at least 10 times that pressure.

Any residences damaged in last Junes inundation or that a review determines may be at risk from future floods are eligible for assistance.

Of an estimated 570 homes that were damaged by sewer backup in last Junes floods, the city has so far received applications from 336 owners.

Carla Jans, who suffered $15,000 in damage and lost the ability to earn an income operating a day home when her basement filled with over a half metre of sewage last June, is grateful for the help.

Money was tight in our household even before this happened, Jans said.

ACM Awards: Watch Shakira, Blake Shelton Serve Up 'Medicine'

Posted on by

Shakira and Blake Shelton gave viewers a taste of "Medicine," their new duet, at the ACM Awards on Sunday.

Rocking a lipstick-red dress showing just enough of those famous hips, Shakira squared off with the country superstar for a spirited version of the pounding anthem. They ended the performance with a huge smile and a hug.

The duet comes following the Latin superstar's yearning to go a little country, having approached Shelton after the two worked together on "The Voice."

"I told him I wanted to work with Nashville people," Shakira told Billboard last month. "I was a little tired of L.A. I wanted people with another point of view, real people with roots with whom I feel comfortable working in the same room. And I told Blake I wanted to do a song that had the narrative of a country song, that was picturesque, that was a real song. But it also needed to suit me, because after all, I'm Colombian."

"Medicine" hit No. 57 on the Country Airplay chart after the release of her self-titled album in late March, netting her first entry on a country chart.

Meanwhile, it's Shelton's 35th entry on the chart, having also hit No. 1 recently with "Doin' What She Likes," his 16th chart-topper.
