	deseretnews.com \| Menzies execution stayed
		While not unexpected — the state did not object and Menzies still has a legal right to challenge his conviction at the federal level — the decision also keeps justice at bay for the family of his victim, Maurine Hunsaker.
		Police linked Menzies to Maurine Hunsaker's death after they found her identification cards in a room at the Salt Lake County Jail where Menzies had been held after being arrested for an alleged theft.
		Menzies was convicted of the kidnapping and killing in 1988, although he has always maintained his innocence.

		Menzies said that he was a firm believer in individual rights, he then suggested that Canadians did not want appointed judges to decide on such an important issue, and that the Conservatives would put same sex marriages to a vote in the House of Commons.

		Pincher Creek Echo — Ted Menzies, the new MP for the federal riding of Macleod, which includes Crowsnest Pass, says he is excited to be seeking elected office for the first time.
		Menzies will be replacing the retiring Grant Hill, and he will have to win his seat in the upcoming election before he can officially claim to represent his constituents.
		However Menzies has already attended a Conservative Party caucus meeting in Ottawa, and with his years of experience as a representative for the agricultural industry and working for the provincial Tories, he feels confident that the electorate in his riding will go with the Conservative Party as their choice for a representative in Ottawa.

		Behind the rhetoric, the insults and the fallacies that make up Ted Menzies’ most recent attack against the Canadian Wheat Board (Barley should be removed from the Wheat Board), lies a longstanding unwillingness to deal in facts.
		Menzies appears to be confusing this project with another proposal that would see the construction of a malt processing plant in Alberta.
		Menzies’ statement that “maltsters are short of barley this year but the Board is holding onto its barley stocks so it doesn’t have to disappoint potential overseas customers” is absolutely ludicrous.
