My apology to the Fredericton Police officer who I said that I will blog this story.

Days later, he reminded that he didn’t see the story in my blog but that’s the way it goes...if I feel like blogging? I do it and if I don’t? C’est la vie!!!!



IMG_9218IMG_9217




He must have came often to this blog and check but no story.




Anyway....Over one month ago while walking downtown.





I noticed this cop giving a ticket to a skateboarder.




IMG_9012





Everything was quiet and I was in a hurry but being Charles? I had to stop and find out what was going on?





The cop stop the kid and gave him a $70 ticket for riding his skateboard on the sidewalk.




14




The next thing you knew? The kid flipped out!


He said - 70 DOLLARS????? F@cking system ...F@CK....F@CK...F@CK!!!




I quickly told the kid and to watch his language.




I tried to talk to the cop why would he insist on a fine?




I guess from what I’m told? If there’s a area for the skateboarder?




They have to walk with their skateboard to the area.





If they use the skateboard on the sidewalk? They will be fine.




I noticed lately that the Police are cracking down very hard on cyclists and skateboarders. I guess they wish these people to stay home I guess?





Now they’re wondering how come these kids are getting fat? Way too much rules or laws.




Anyway...going back to the story?





Once the kid realizet there was no way out?




He really got upset and it was F@CKING THIS AND F@CKING THAT!!!




He dashed towards downtown in a rage with his skateboard.




I might add that he was really flying.





The cop looked at me and said - Now you know what we have to deal with every day!!!





The cop watched the kid zooming down the sidewalk.





He calmly made a call on his radio and suddenly a female cop came racing racing around the corner with lights and siren on stopping the Skateboarder.

I quickly took a few pictures and the cop came to me asking me for my name?





I said - You don’t know me? I’m Fredericton Police Force’s worst nightmare. ...lol....





He didn’t quite understand what I meant but once I told him that I was a blogger?





He said- Ohhhh??? I have heard about you!





I reply - All bad I bet???..lol....





He told me he wanted me as a witness because I saw everything.





I guess the guy got another fine.




IMG_9017





Days later, a female cop stop all these skateboarders and gave them all a $70.00 fine for skateboarding.




IMG_9129




These kids were upset but what could they do?

Yes, it’s a battle!!!!





IMG_9128



Look when I went to Memramcook a few weeks ago, This used to be the area of the only tavern in the Valley.

IMG_9276IMG_9330



These days it’s a park for skateboarders.





I believe cracking down on these youths are a little too harsh but what can a person do? The law is the law I guess?

It’s cold and windy out there.




Some of use are very lucky that we have a roof over our heads.




Yes, I live in a small room but it’s warm. I got a computer with Fred E-Zone and cable on the other side.



But some of us are not that lucky and today is one of those cases.





This afternoon, I walked in the Library and noticed a guy passed up on a bench in the lobby.





Seconds later a Commissionaire and someone from the staff woke the guy up telling him that he couldn’t stay inside.





IMG_1234




The Commissionaire name is Thomas and he told me that this was the second case this week.




IMG_1235




If the guy would have refuse to leave? The cops would have been called and in the drunk tank we go!




Don’t the Fredericton Police Force have better things to do than worrying about the people with drinking problems in this City?




IMG_1238



Now this is one case that I happen to be around but what about the rest of the cases in the City?



How often are the cops called because a drunk just wish to stay warm?



Do the calls go up during the cold winter months?




They have to bring them to the Station and do all that paper work.




IMG_1247



I say built a little shelter behind the Soup Kitchen and they will stay in that area.



What do you think?


tThey are not bad people. They're still human beings!!!

CBC INTERVIEWED ME ABOUT ABORTION???

A couple days ago, I received an email from a couple of reporters from CBC in Halifax.



They wanted to interview me about abortion.



Abortion????...lol..




It was all about this blog I posted in July. You can read the blog by clicking below-



target="_blank">Charles
Blog





Yesterday morning, it was raining and I didn’t feel like walking in the rain on top of the hill at CBC headquarters on Regent Street so they paid for a cab.








It’s funny how time change eh?




In the past, I would have ran on top of the hill to be in the media.





I’m getting older I guess?...lol




My attitude these days is - If it happened? It happens!




Once there, I was asked to sit down and wait 20 minutes for the reporters.




Moi? With ADHD sit down for 20 minutes?




That would be an impossible task!!...lol...





I asked to chat with Alan White and the reporter came out. He couldn’t chat long because he was getting reading the noon news.





Terry Seguin walked by and I asked them for a picture?




IMG_1225





Alan left and I had a little chat with Terry about my trial coming on November 2th.





The reporters finally arrive and the interview was done outside.





They wanted my opinion of the way the protesters are showing the pictures of the dead children or fetus or whatever you want to call it?





IMG_1226





The bottom line of the conversation- This is the new way of protesting.





Just standing at a corner with a sign will not cover it because people are too busy to slow down to read the words on a sign.





But a huge picture? That’s a total different story.




aaa




The interview is supposedly to be broadcast in November.




I’ll let you know.



Stay tuned...

The Master at work....

I approached them and took these pictures.

I told them that I was a blogger and they should go to google and write - Charles LeBlanc.

They answered- Ohh???? You’re the guy!!!

Maybe the girls can leave a comment of what their protest is all about???

BIG DRUG COMPANIES ARE GOING AFTER BABIES NEXT!!! LEGAL DRUG DEALERS OR WHAT????


Ritalin-Dilemma

Some preschoolers can use Ritalin
Last Updated: Friday, October 20, 2006 | 10:17 AM ET
CBC News
The first long-term U.S. government study of preschoolers who take Ritalin, the popular attention deficit disorder drug, warns of side-effects but also found benefits in children with severe problems.

The drug isn't approved for use in children under age six, and the researchers said those youngsters need close monitoring because preschoolers are more likely than older children to develop side effects.

The research was done because of concerns over reports that soaring numbers of very young children are being given psychiatric drugs, including Ritalin.

The study's message is, proceed with caution, said Dr. Thomas Insel, director of the National Institute of Mental Health.

"We're not talking about fidgety three-year-olds," said Insel, whose agency funded the study. The research involved children with severe cases of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder — cases that included hanging from ceiling fans, jumping off slides or playing with fire.

The researchers say the benefits of low-dose treatment outweigh the risks for these youngsters.

Safety not established, critic contends

But critics disputed that.

"I hope publication of this does not lead to more overprescribing," said Dr. Sidney Wolfe of the watchdog group Public Citizen. "The safety isn't adequately established, the efficacy even less."

About 40 per cent of children developed side effects and roughly 11 per cent dropped out because of problems including irritability, weight loss, insomnia and slowed growth.

Preschoolers on methylphenidate, or generic Ritalin, grew about half an inch less and gained about two pounds less than expected during the 70-week study.

Doctor calls study a catastrophe

"This is a catastrophe. It just opens up the way for drugging the younger kids," said Dr. Peter Breggin, a New York psychiatrist and longtime critic of psychiatric drug use in children.

Breggin said the research is part of a marketing push by the drug industry to expand drug use to the youngest children.

The study appears in the November edition of the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Several of the researchers have financial ties to makers of ADHD drugs, including Ritalin.

Lead author Dr. Laurence Greenhill, a psychiatrist with Columbia University and New York State Psychiatric Institute, has been a paid speaker for most companies that make the drugs.

Roughly eight per cent of U.S. children have ADHD, including about three per cent of preschoolers. In Canada in 2005, two million prescriptions for stimulants such as Ritalin were written to treat ADHD.

Study outlines pros, cons

Previous research found that about one in 100 preschoolers had been prescribed Ritalin, which has only been approved for use in children aged six and older. Use in younger children is considered "off-label" but is not illegal.

Dr. David Fassler, a psychiatry professor at the University of Vermont, said the study does a good job of outlining pros and cons of Ritalin treatment in preschoolers.

"This is exactly the kind of information we need to help parents make informed decisions about treatment options for young children with ADHD," Fassler said.

The study included 10 weeks of behavioural treatment along with parent training and about one year of drug treatment. Nearly 300 families were enrolled, but many dropped out after the first phase, either because the behaviour treatment worked or because they didn't want to put their children on drugs.

The drug phase started with 165 children, more than a dozen dropped out because of side-effects.

Behaviour improvements were seen in children taking 7.5 to 30 milligrams daily, but the optimal dose was 14 milligrams daily — less than half the usual Ritalin dose for older children, Greenhill said.

Keep up the good work. A lot of people are saying the pipeline is a done deal.

I hope they are wrong. If they go ahead with the pipeline route being proposed and a second refinary? The rest of the population might as well move away and give the whole city to Irving.

Of course nothing would be said because the local newspaper has a policy of not reporting negative news about The Irvings I would not want to be around if it ever explodes.

Maybe they should paint a big bulls eye on all map references for Saint John

$250,000 TO $500,000 TAXPAYERS MONEY STOLEN BUT NO CHARGES???

Around three years a company was charge in Saint John. This so call company offer a free computer and a crash course on computers.

All they had to do was to sign papers and the Government would pay for it.

I was told from a lot of citizens that many people who were hooked on Dilaudid lined up for the course.

They got their computer and sold it for drugs!

The problem was this?

There were no courses!!! It was all a scam!!!

Guess what? I haven’t heard or read nothing about this issue in the courts.

I’m certain that we’re talking between $250,000 to $500,000!!!!

Does anyone out there know the reason the Saint John Police Force or the office of the prosecutor never pursue this case????

12 DAYS LEFT FOR NEW BRUNSWICKERS TO FIND OUT IF FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS OVER IN NEW BRUNSWICK!!!

Yes, if the Saint John Police Force are proven they did the right action by arresting and deleting the pictures from a blogger.

Then it's over in New Brunswick!!

Since the Irvings owns all the newspapers in this Province? Only Irving's employees will be allowed to take pictures of different events in New Brunswick.

Which reminds me? Jamie Irving didn't print my letter. See what I mean? Old Germany all over again!
