As a person with tattoos and a mother with advanced liver disease and HepC I can understand the stance that most put forward in this forum. I do believe that it is a bad choice for the Pilot to run this series as it is the prime local news source for the who's who of whovill. Everyone needs to run and hide from about 50% of the American population between the ages of 20-30, that's about how many have at least one tattoo. This would be better received if it were run in the local. My tattoos are for me and nobody else. I can put on shorts and a t-shirt and nobody would be the wiser. My mother was an alcoholic for 20 years and is now clean and sober for the last 15yrs.
Back to the pictures at hand, is the bottom picture the mother or the daughter?? Anyway, the goal is to place "it" directly in the middle of the "design". Points are lost for dripping, slipping, smearing, missing and dropping outside the lines. You start with 50 points and go down from there. 10 point deduction for dripping, slipping and smearing, 5 point deduction for dropping outside the lines and a DQ for missing. Good luck to all
What is the penalty for opening your Christmas presents too early?
For one South Carolina 12-year-old, the penalty was arrest.
A Rock Hill, S.C., woman called police and asked them to arrest her son who opened a Christmas present early after being told not to, the Rock Hill Herald reported. Police went to the house and arrested the boy and charged him with petty larceny.
The paper reported that the boy's great-grandmother had specifically told him not to open his present, which contained a Nintendo Game Boy Advance. It was wrapped and lying under the Christmas tree, the police report stated.
But on Sunday morning, the gift was unwrapped and the box was empty. So when the boy's mother found out, she alerted police, the paper reported.
"He took it without permission. He wanted it. He just took it," said the 63-year-old great-grandmother told the Herald.
The women said that the boy lied to them at first, saying he was unaware of where the video game system was. After threat of calling the police, the boy apparently gave the toy back to his mother, the paper reported. But the upset mother called police anyway.
Two officers responded and charged the child as a juvenile with petty larceny, although he was not jailed.
The mother told the Herald that she didn't know what else to do with her son, so she called police. The paper reported she is a single mother and has been struggling with constant behavior problems from the boy. She said her son still showed no remorse when the police came.
"I'm trying to get him some kind of help," the 27-year-old mother told the paper. "He's the type of kid who doesn't believe anything until it happens."
She said he has shoplifted, stolen money from her, punched a police officer and is nearing expulsion from school. She told the paper that she hopes this arrest will be a wake-up call for her son, because she worries about getting a call someday telling her he's been killed.
The mother plans to have her son placed with the state Department of Juvenile Justice in Columbia at his court appearance, the Herald reported.
Dogd, To respond, my child (1) is fallible and has made mistakes in the past and there are always consequences for his actions. I am not the fruity pilgrim that you claim that I am. I have a very colorful past and have lived in places that were a lot different then Steamboat. I am not the one making stupid calls to the police. The only time I call the cops is when I need, never mind, not going to go there. The reason I moved to this wonderful town is that I wanted to move my son away from all the craziness in the city schools. What a concept. The only point that I am trying to make out of all this is that there are certain standards that you must be willing to except taking on such a roll as principal. The fact that Mr. MacHale seems proud of the fact that with his voice alone he was able to "scare" this kid into submission should be a clear sign of questionable behavior.
Is everyone missing the point that Principal HacHale stated that he wanted to scare this "kid"
"I have a big, commanding voice; he was a scared kid," MacHale said. "I figured I'd try it. Sometimes you do things in the spur of the moment without thinking about it. My goal was to get him to stop, and he did."
I have a son that goes to Soda Creek and I have to say that if this were to happen with a leader at his school I would not stop till this person was not around my child to any capacity. I feel that Principal HacHale may have some anger issues and need help.
How could he have thought that this would be even close to O.K.? I hope that he does not try any of his "spur of the moment without thinking about it" tactics on your children.
"I have a big, commanding voice; he was a scared kid," MacHale said. "I figured I'd try it. Sometimes you do things in the spur of the moment without thinking about it. My goal was to get him to stop, and he did."
I bet you that he uses that same tactic against the children at the school. I would hope that every parent of a child that goes to that school has a long talk with their kids about their rights as Americans. This guy seems proud of the fact that he could easily scare kids.
I would like to say that I am very happy that my son does not attend Strawberry Park Elementary. One does not have to dismiss the fact that the "kid" was wrong and did a bad thing but is this how you would expect a elementary school leader to act. If my child did go to Strawberry Park I feel that I would have to my him to Soda Creek. I can understand wanting this person to have to live up to what he did but this was just wrong. This person is suppost to be a role model for our children and parents. He just straight flew off the handle. Not only did he impersonate a police officer but I am sure that he drove the speed limit and did not break any traffic rules by running this guy down. Some might think that Mr. MacHale might have a temper problem.
THIS IS THE PERSON THAT IS LEADING OUR CHILDREN!!!
