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

    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.
  • ryan p on 17 Mar 11
     
    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.
  • luke h on 17 Mar 11
     
    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.
  • Joe Derr on 17 Mar 11
     
    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.
  • rachel t on 17 Mar 11
     
    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.
  • john c. on 17 Mar 11
     
    No, he should definitely not be. It's cocaine. It's a serious drug.
  • Lucas K on 17 Mar 11
     
    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.
  • Kristen D. on 17 Mar 11
     
    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.
  • brittany v on 22 Mar 11
     
    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.
  • Stephanie A on 23 Mar 11
     
    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

    The FDA approved a drug used to help slow the spreading of cancer cells in stage 4 melanoma patients. The drug will soon be used for stage 3 patients. The drug has been used to increase the lifespan of users by at least 4 months.

    Mmm... interesting. Thirteen years is an awful long time to wait for the release of a new drug attempting to combat such a devastating disease.

    Mount Carmel Township is trying to ban selling, delivering, or buying synthetic drugs. They will be the first township with this ban but they want to see it happen. If it goes info effect, it will start April 20. After this date punishment by law will be put into place.

    Finally this area shows some kind of common sense, we need to get these "drugs" off the street including the people doing them.
  • Dominic W. on 17 Mar 11
     
    This is a ban that is much needed. So many people are abusing things like this and it really needs to stop. People who continue to abuse this should be punished to the full extent.
  • brett V. on 17 Mar 11
     
    It is about time somebody does something about this ridiculous stuff that people are consuming into there body. People could really make a drug out of anything ya know what i mean?
  • James K on 17 Mar 11
     
    Mount Carmel Township will be the first township with an ordinance banning synthetic marijuana. But what does this matter? No matter what they ban, there's always going to be the nest new thing out. People will keep finding ways to get around the bans, and the new laws. Its essentially pointless for all this to be happening. even though i do agree that the "fake pot" is a bad idea

    A mother from Massachusetts was charged with attempted murder and child endangerment after stealing her autistic sons prescription medication. The mother denied withholding her son's medicine at first until she got questioned about it. Jeremy, the autistic son, was very sick and needed all his medication to survive his situation. When the mother was convicted Jeremy had to move in with his father. Jeremy passed away in February and his father died in a motorcycle crash 7 months later.

    I can't believe someone would still much needed drugs from there 9 year old son who has cancer. This type of stuff makes me sick!
  • Angela S on 19 Apr 11
     
    This is such a sad story. I think that it's very wrong for somebody to do this to their own son. This lady must have thought she knows more then a person who had gone to school for years to be able to tell the boy he needed these drugs.

    I don't know how you even do that its just not right. Yet not all people are right i the head it's just something your born with....
