thanks banksy

"nothing to do" -- seriously?? I grew up in central PA and was involved in many things in my childhood other than "hanging out" and letting free time dictate my choices
the key is that my parents were involved too -- they kept me focused on activities that tought me values and responsibility -- and kicked my butt if I got into trouble
again - back to the whole accountability issue

there are many organizations around that would be glad to have volunteer help from the youth -- and would help teach them the value of community and responsibility

I could not agree more! Tyrone high has so many activities. There were many when I attended over twenty years ago, and now even more! It seems the community also has more activities, private lessons etc. The parents also play a key role in this issue. Parenting involves encouraging your child and motivating them to be active in sports, band, dance and exercise etc. Letting kids do as they please leads to trouble.

Well I am so glad some else jumped on that old line that there is nothing for the kids to do. From my experience most kids do not want to find something worth while to do.

Remember the days when there only were 4 TV channels at most... ABC, NBC, CBS, and PBS? And no gaming systems until the first Atari came out? Before Atari, it was to the game room at the mall or pinball at the local pizza place.

Whatever did we do with ourselves?

WE used to go to the bowling alley and Poolhall.. or go visit our friends and play outside no matter how hot or cold it was... we played in the woods, made forts out of almost anything and had a lot of fun doing it!!! Oh, don't I wish those days were still here, having just passed my fiftieth year...

The other week on this site, they had a photo of a plant taken from Ironsville --a 8 ft plant ---was any further information or article done on this?? I guess I should get the newspaper more often to read the police blotter.

It looked like a christmas tree

If you go back and look closer, Bill was quoting MY post and photo - they were my remarks.

For the record, I did also belong to the Hookies:

I have now come to the conclusion that you will get a less punishment if you do drugs than if you get a D.U.I.
After reviewing the list of names of the most recent drug bust that just took place earlier this week, I saw at least one name that has been listed in almost every bust that has occured in Tyrone in the past couple of years....WHY???? And the other sad thing about that is he has custody of his 2 children....Come on now!!!

Seeing the same names in the paper bust after bust lets me know that more needs to be done than just busting the user/dealer. Its true that no good rehabilitation gets done in jail. They might do six months come out clean but they don't get the knowledge they need while in there to stay clean. I don't know the answer to this, but I sure wish that I did.

Why not create a college for these people and those who really are just misguided individuals would be "sentenced" there for 4 years and get a degree. It can't be that much more expensive than a prison.

The ones who are just chronic BAD people, let's make them do hard labor and clean the highways, clean the cities, etc. It's time to put criminals back to work.

Yet another drug bust with repeat offenders...
