    • Suzie Nestico
       
      So, what do you think...  should this person remain a member of the School Board?

    Mid valley school board member arrested for possession of cocaine.
  •  
    Lackawanna County, Eric Kovaleski, arrested for possession of cocaine after he was stopped for running a red light in Scraton.
  •  
    I think he should be fired.
  •  
    No i do not think that the superintendent should still remain a member. He broke a law and in school they tell that drugs are bad and you shouldn't do them, but he does them and got caught. If he stays a member the kids might get the idea that drugs are okay to do.
  •  
    No I do not think that he should be because thats harming the students and if you do that then there just has to be something wrong with that person. Get that person out of there fire him.
  •  
    Like Ryan said he should be fired, he broke the law and thats the end of the line for him it would'nt be right for him to stay on the school board and be making decisions for students.
  •  
    I don't think that it's okay that he's still a member of the school board. He's setting a bad example for not only the students, but the community.
  •  
    No, he should definitely not be. It's cocaine. It's a serious drug.
  •  
    I do not think he should be fired. Although cocaine is a harder drug then most others, the man never had any or caused any problems since he has been part of the school board. I think it's in his best interest to resign only because he has made a name for himself already and it will be hard to prove to kids in his school that he's drug free.
  •  
    I think that this guy should be fired. He is suppose to be a role model to the students and is on drugs? This is totally unacceptable. If I had a kid that went to that school I would be very afraid. Drugs are nothing to play with at the day in age and if your taking them you should not be around kids.
  •  
    I think he should have been fired also because no one should be doing drugs. Since he worked for a school he should of definetly been against it but he wasnt. If you want to do drugs it is your own fault for risking your job.
  •  
    He should not be aloud around the school and he should be kicked of the school borad for selling drugs....we need to get drugsd of the streets and now adults are giveing them to kids to use or even sell . that is not right

    Dubai police seize arms shipment. They found 16,000 pistols aboard a ship worth $2 million. The guns were hidden in wrapped boxes carrying furniture. Six people were arrested.
  •  
    That's good that they found those guns. If they wouldn't have found them think of how many people could have been either hurt or killed.
  •  
    I don't know why people think they can get away with shipping 16,000 pistols on a ship. They should of saw the whole bust coming.

Breathalyer at prom for a new york school - 0 views

  •  
    Saratoga High School in New York will have breathalyzer for each student attending prom next month. It will be at the front door to ensure that every student will attend prom in a sober fashion. Their principal says the new guideline is in response to growing concerns about student safety and alcohol use. Mostly all of the students of this school said its a good idea and they like this idea. They think that students should be checked for this since its not legal for anyone underage to do no matter the circumstances.

    I think it's a good idea. No one wants to have some drunk annoying people ruining prom for everyone else. If you're going to be stupid, do it on your own time.
  •  
    This should be at our prom. This could make sure no one gets hurt drinking and driving. It could also make sure there is no chaos at proms.
  •  
    This is a good thing to do because it will keep the kids safer and a more enjoyable prom rather then being arrested.
  •  
    I agree that they should be checked. It's a good thing because it can make alot of bad things that could have happened, not possible.
  •  
    I think this is a good idea, i agree with Rachel. Nobody wants a drunk annoying person at their prom ruining it for everybody else.
  •  
    This is a good idea because there are probably many students who would show up to prom under the influence of alcohol.
  •  
    It makes sense to use precautions like this. Every year there's students who drink before prom and usually get arrested. Doing this might affect how many people actualy do drink before prom. Also it will cut down on the dangers of drunk driving.

    Accurate job with tagging, Kayleen!
  •  
    That must have been really scary the poor old lady I don't know what I would have done if i was this old.
  •  
    I chose this because it was so sad and also just sick for someone to do that to anyone, especially an old woman.
  •  
    Jeffrey Allan Maxwell, The guy's sick. Who Shackles and beats a 62 year women, for 13 days! People need some help.
  •  
    The morality of human nature can never be settled as eternally good or bad, but always unpredictable. There's ones who create inventions, cure diseases, and build nations, yet you can't balance life without having negatives. Its a shame what happens to innocent victims these days, but we can't control human emotion/consciousness. All we can do is protect who and what we know, but learn from the mistakes of our brothers and sisters for we can do better.

L.A. police identify baseball fan beating suspect as gang member - 1 views

  •  
    The primary suspect in the brutal beating of a of a San Francisco Giants fan at Dodgers Stadium is Giovanni Ramirez. He is 31 years old and is associated with the Varrio Nuevo Estrada street gang. It is one of 34 gangs in a 15-square-mile area east of downtown Los Angeles.

    There should be serious consequences for Giovanni Ramirez. Gangs are a big problem and every member they have off of the streets is a good thing. They need to be stopped somehow
  •  
    I remember hearing about this when it happened thinking it was just so awful i didn't think somebody could be so low and beat another person up because of the sports team they follow. It's really something to think about
  •  
    I really can't believe that somebody has the guts to beat somebody up for something so little and stupid. That guy can't even like his favorite baseball team without getting beat up for it. I think that it is a great thing that the giants players are giving a reward to anyone with answers. It really shows that they care about their fans.
  •  
    when stuff like this happens it needs to be dealt with and have major consequences. when this happens it just looks bad on the sport and general managers that do not provide enough security. this is a major problem at sporting events.
