Kids' Christmas party funds stolen

Restaurant owners vow to host event for children despite theft of almost $8,000 donated by patrons
Nov 29, 2007 04:30 AM


People who had or had a drink at Hunter’s Horn pub and Restaurant had been donating money. They were looking forward to December 16th. The community gathered $8000 with pennies, dimes and nickels so that restaurant can celebrate and host Christmas party for poor children. While Cindy and Thomas was getting ready to go to work. They suddenly found out that the money was stolen by a thief. The thief stole large 5 gallon water container nearly full of cash donation. The donation was approximately seven to eight thousand dollars. Police said that the robbery was all planned. The burglar broke the store from the side door, which is the most busiest road. They broke the glass window and walked into the store. Even though, the donation is stolen, the needy children will still be invited to the party. Hunter’s Horn customers are already donating again.

I strongly believe that Hunter’s Horn restaurant should not give up on helping needy children. There is still a lot of time left till Christmas. I hope that the police would find the burglar soon as possible so that Hunter’s Horn can receive the donation for the Christmas party. From the Hunter’s Horn’s support will bring a most memorable Christmas for needy children.

Call for ban on chemical in baby bottles

Premier to strike panel to study potentially carcinogenic chemical found in many plastics
Nov 21, 2007 04:30 AM Debra Black Kerry Gillespie Staff Reporters
The provincial government

The provincial government is now experimenting whether there is any chemicals found in baby bottles, children drinking cups, soft plastic toys, reusable water bottles and even the lining of some food cans. Members of environmental who studied chemicals polluting in Canadian children is now taking the action. The groups has found 39 chemicals that contaminated their body, including, bisphenol A- a substance that causes breast cancer, obesity, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and developmental problems. Environmental defence went out to the park and draw attention to the issue of chemicals in children bottle toward the provincial government. 150 parents and children went out with a sign that says “Babies Unite Against Toxic Chemicals" and "Don't Pollute Me.

As you can see chemicals were found in babies bottles, children drinking cupos, water bottles. Even though, babies are just youngsters who are just born to live and they have the right to be treated as other people. If the government or manufactor of baby bottle thinks that baby are not important but they are going to lead our world in the next century. Because the birth rate around the world is decreasing dramatically. We need to take care and consider babies health and safety more.

Boys, 8 and 9, charged with rape

Nov 19, 2007 03:00 PM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS


Three boys, who are ages of 8 and 9 are being held today in detention centre. Three boys were charged by kidnapping and rapping an 11 year old girl. It was near suburban apartment complex. The girls mother reported the police yesterday. The girls was playing outside and the girl was taken to the wooded area, where the girl was sexually assaulted. Boys raped her. Three boy, two were 9 years old and one boy was 8 years old were charged with rape, kidnapping, false imprisionment, and sexual assault. Becuase these boys are young, they were taken to juvenile courts. The boys told they didn't had sex and the police told that this was the investigation where rapes are involved in young parties.


I believe that boys who are only 8, 9 years old, should be taken to the juvenile school to learn. Youth criminal justice act will proceed. Since the boys were still maturing and do not yet possess the judgement of adult. These boy should be sent to the juvenile school and teach lesson that will reflect on to their minds. When they come out from juvenile school, it would be just a whole new world for them. I trust these boys that they will act properly with respect to the society.

Copied 'Simpsons Movie,' man fined

Nov 13, 2007 01:49 PM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS




A syndney man who upload Simpsons Movie on internet after recording on his cellphone was fined. He had a pirate copy of “ The Simpons Movie.” The man was fined with 1000 Australian dollars ( Cdn$857) by the court today for breaching copy right. An international operation involving Australian Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.'s Fox movie studios, and it had the right to the blockbuster and tracked unauthorized copy to Jose Duarte’s home, 21. He was also arrested in August. Prosecutor Chuan Ng said that in few hours people downloaded 3,213 times when it was available in the internet. Duarte’s lawyer said Duarte tried twice to upload movie in July 26 which was the release date and he upload ahead of the time when the movie was showed to rest of the world. Duarte thought he wasn’t able to up upload ahead but he was able to. The lawyer Stewart said “It would appear that this young man had the sophistication of a dead fish and he had no idea what he was doing.” Duarte was charge with the charge of distribution of copyright movie.

In my opinion, the man who tracked Simpsons movie was wrong. I believe uploading up earlier than showing up in the theatre will cause a huge problem. Not only it would reduce viewers of move “ Simpsons movie” but also the man would receive many charge that is followed by the distribution of copyright movie. Even though, it doesn’t apply to Australia. In Canada, The Canadian Charter of Rights and freedom states that The Canadian copyright act.

Baby left in frigid car by parents out at club

Father unrepentant, Quebec City social workers launch probe
INGRID PERITZ
From Tuesday's Globe and Mail
October 30, 2007 at 5:07 AM EDT



Shockingly, married couple left a baby in a car. The temperature when the baby was left in the car was freezing cold. While the boy was alone in the car. Baby’s parent went to popular night spot in Quebec City on the weekend. Fortunately, the baby was returned to the parents. The parents can be charged with severe crime. If the passerby did not find the baby alone in the car and called the police at 11:15pm when the temperature was dropping below zero. The baby might have been in dangerous condition if the passerby didn’t find the baby. The police said that you are not allowed to leave your baby under age of 7 just for a minute in a car. Police could not figure out how long the baby’s parents were away, but when officer checked hood and tailpipe of the car. It was very cold and this suggest that the vehicle had been there for a while. After police unlocked the vehicle and found the baby’s parent cafĂ©-theatre in Quebec's touristy old town, where they were enjoying a drink with friends. The father had to fine $151 for leaving a child under 7 alone, and $200 for insulting a police officer. Also there would be more severe criminal charges followed after the fine.

In my opinion, leaving the baby alone to go to a party or club. It is not a possible decision that normal parent can make considering the consequences. Therefore, parents should receive harsh punishment and the baby must be taken with more care. If the parents are not responsible for their baby. Parents doesn’t have right to maintain their baby. The baby must be sent to couples or a person who are actually willing to take care of the baby sincerely and let the baby to live in the sanitary and supportive environment.

Increased sun exposure halves risk of advanced breast cancer: study

Last Updated: Friday, October 19, 2007 1:02 PM ET
CBC News



U.S researchers have found out that if a person receive more sun exposure, tendency to lower risk of advanced breast cancer. Researcher have found that 46 percent of women who had more sun exposure had lower risk of developing breast cancer, compared to women had little sun exposure. The sun exposure adds extra Vitamin D in the body. Surprisingly, Vitamin D was only found on white women and not in women who had darker color skin tone than white. The author strongly recommends women to take Vitamin D through diet or supplements. Sun exposure was measured that in different part and it gave different measurement of exposure between forehead and underarm. The researcher also said people who had darker skin color would have more risk of breast cancer because sun exposure cannot produce a lot of Vitamin D in their bodies.

Sun exposure would save us from cancer infection! Most of us know that when the sun is exposed, we get Vitamin D. As a student, I feel that we don’t have any time to go out and have sun exposure because during the day. We are sitting at our classrooms, after that we get back into our room and we got to finish projects and assignments. Because we don’t have any time to go outside and especially. In the winter, the sun sets early so sun exposure is very unlikely to happen among student. The only solution to supply Vitamin D to your body is buy a pack of Vitamin D in the drug store. You will prevent from not only breast cancer, but also other severe diseases.

Mother bought guns for teen

The Associated PressNORRISTOWN, Pa.

The mother of 14 year old had guns, knives and explosive materials in the bedroom and the possibility of school attack was charged by the police and buying her son three weapons. Son Dillon got three guns from his mother named Michele Cossey, 46. The guns were a .22-caliber handgun, a .22-caliber rifle and a 9 mm semiautomatic rifle. Her son was bullied at his high school and try to threaten another boy. Dillon’s mother was not charge for encourage her son to hurt other boys at his school, but she was charge because she allowed him to have guns. The guns were also found in his friends house and his mother brought laser scope. Dillon was ordered to be held at juvenile facility. Dillon was charge with gun usage and influences of terror but his lawyer said that few guns were air rifles and pellet guns.

This new was frustrating and insane to me. Dillon who is only middle school boy had a gun. His mother bought guns for Dillon to bully other boy at his school. Dillon has some issue on his behaviour and actions, moreover the real consequence to this frightening new is Dillon’s mother. His mother encouraged Dillon to carry guns and bully other boys. Even though, Dillon’s mother wasn’t punished as much as Dillon did. I strongly believe that all of the responsibilities of the crime act and the punishments that Dillon is having goes back to Dillon’s mother not Dillon.
