Proven programs for troubled youth are desperate for funds [Letter] — Vancouver Sun
Type: Press
Source:
Vancouver Sun I am relieved to see that others are also acknowledging what I've known since I first started using drugs 26 years ago. I haven't used illicit drugs for 19 years, but I still regret using any, especially pot. Drugs are the strongest undertow in the world. In the late summer of 1999, I decided to do something about the tides of young people flowing into the Downtown Eastside looking for dope. I saw them getting younger and younger but looking older ...

L.A. Weekly (California) It was 2:15 p.m. when Keith Henson and his friend Gregg Hagglund finished picking up contact-lens solution and shaving lotion at a suburban Toronto mall and climbed into their car. Before they could fasten their seat belts, two unmarked vans squealed up, pinning their Mazda economy sedan in from the rear and the passenger side. A handful of emergency-services task-force officers – Canada‘s version of a police SWAT team – spilled out, wearing body armor and carrying submachine guns. As shoppers ...

NOW Magazine it’s an unshaven and frazzled-looking Keith Henson who shuffles into the converted jail cell used as a hearing room Thursday morning at the Metro West Detention Centre. He’s in broad-rims, jail-issue orange jumpsuit and blue canvas runners that he’s wearing like flip-flops because they’re too small for his feet. A flap of grey hair is swooshed over a bald spot on the top of his head. The unrepentant Scientology foe was arrested in a parking lot in Oakville by Halton regional ...

Hour Magazine (Canada) Keith Henson, American activist on the run in Canada, thinks the controversial Church of Scientology has made him fair game for dirty tricks Looking back, maybe the joke about the "Tom Cruise Missile" wasn't such a good idea. That online jest, made last year by Keith Henson, a peaceful if persistent critic of the controversial Church of Scientology, has led to his being found guilty of "intimidating a religion," and now on the run from the U.S., hiding out in plain ...

The Register (UK) A couple of weeks ago computer engineer Keith Henson was found guilty in California of a criminal act related to posts he made in the newsgroup alt.religion.scientology, which contained obviously comical (all right, Sophomoric) references to targeting Scientologists with a nuclear missile. The jury convicted him of interfering with a religion — likely due to his habit of picketing near the cult's properties — but failed to reach a decision on two other patently idiotic charges brought by Deputy District Attorney ...

NOW Magazine The Church of Scientology is not exactly used to syrupy press coverage. Too many weird scenes inside that gold mine, if you believe the tales of ex-members. But this week the church got some favourable spin on the front page of the Town Crier for its cleanup efforts in the Yonge and Isabella neighbourhood where there've been two recent shootings at nightclubs. The Crier's acting editor, Ken Shuler, says he knows something about the church's controversial past. "Yeah, I was kinda ...
