OTTAWA - A drug to treat attention deficit disorder
is being pulled off the market by Canadian regulators,
who are reviewing the safety of similar drugs such as Ritalin.
The drug, called Adderall XR, has been linked to 20 sudden
deaths, including 14 among children, as well as a dozen strokes,
Health Canada said. Children suffered two of the strokes.
None of the deaths happened in Canada, and none were the
result of abuse, misuse or overdose of the amphetamine.

Can’t choose your neighbours

VANCOUVER/CKNW(AM980) – Residents of a small
community south of Duncan say a judge has rejected
an attempt to keep a young killer out of a group home
in the neighbourhood in Sahtlam.
As a young offender the offender killed a relative.
Security on the home has been increased and neighbours
have heard the man will be under round the clock guard
but privacy regulations are preventing them from getting
more information.
**************************************************
Why do people think young people turn to such drastic
and aggressive behaviour? In many ways, their families
and community failed them long ago, failed to protect
them, include them, respect and take care of them.
Young people deserve the chance for re-habilitation
and re-integration into community. If it is denied, they
will make the only choice available and live outside of
society's rules, morals, values and laws. And they will
continue to leave a path of destruction and pain in
their wake. As a society and a community, we must
choose to offer all youth positive opportunities, human
rights and inclusion.
