Well, when we pulled up at the school the other day, we noticed grafitti written on the front wall of the front entrance. Most of it had been painted over, but what I could see said something about seniors 07. I suppose that which was marked out was bad enough to mark out. Who could have done such, I dont know. Our kidz? I would believe so. I believe the last time we had some vandalism at NW our kidz were involved. Scarry to know what they would come up with next. I say fry them when they are caught. It's time to send a message....Not our school.

I certainly hope you're wrong, gotobeme. But, I our county commissioner Billy Yow said one of the wisest and most astute things I've ever heard, especially from him (when speaking publicly about one of his "youthful indiscretions" -- I believe it was about his former job as a male stripper). Billy said something like "unfortunately youth and wisdom don't always come in the same package." Sometimes kids just do dumb things and because they can't keep their mouth shut about them, they often get caught.
I don't know that I'd like to see them "fry," as gotobeme put it, but I think some good, old fashioned manual labor, something like scrubbing paint off of walls, would probably be good for whoever did this.

I know I don't get out of Summerfield too often but Billy Yow was a male stripper???  Did everybody already know that???

| Rumor is - and it's only a rumor - that it may have been some Western Guilford kids. If that's so and they are caught, perhaps the best course of action would be to transfer them to NWHS. A little cultural immersion would certainly get their attention. At the very least it would send a STRONG message to anyone else thinking about trying this.

You know, I don't know which would be worse.... That "our" kids did it, or that the "rivalry" between these two schools (I've heard stories thru the years about how strong it is, I guess b/c the two schools are so near each other geographically) is so great that someone would take this action.
I think I read something in the NW Observer about there being some kind of event being held at the high school soon -- I hope the graffiti has been cleaned up.

speaking of vandalism, id like to get a hold on the ones who were trashing the houses in tuscany, armfield, etc. I know they were arrested, but I have my own ideas on how to deal with them. haha.
Also, whomever is throwing things at oncoming cars going down 68. I think it also occurred on Alcorn rd also. They must live in that area since that is where it seems to keep happening. Id like to get my hands on those people. Just give me 2 minutes behind a closed door is all I'm saying. I'll bring a few "friends" and we can deal with the trouble makers.
- not that I have ever, or would ever think about breaking the law in any way or hurting anyone, even if they really deserved it. haha.

Yes, this is true. It would serve them better to have them scrub the walls, if the school knew who did it, but when we don't we suffer the indiscretions of our youthful teens. I wished the surveillance system was in then, we might have caught them ....

| If these youths had some sort of organized activity to keep them busy (such as baseball) this would have never happened.

Yep, when young people are kept busy with organized activities, they tend not to have time to get into mischief.

If you truly believe that a community having ballfields has a lower juvenile crime rate, then surely one should be able to, with only the slightest amount of research on the Internet and Google, provide examples of cities around America with lower juvenile crime rates which also have extensive community ballfields per capita. Surely, if your argument held water, there would be FBI study after FBI study offering up the results you claim.
The same would hold true for those making the silly argument that obesity is caused by lack of ballfields and somehow miraculously cured by the mere presence of ballfields in a community. The better solution for curing obesity in children is for parents to simply cut off the television and video games, stop feeding the child junk food and allowing over consumption of snacks and sweets, and providing physical chores for children such a yard raking, mowing, cleaning their rooms, and then providing available outdoor exercise outlets, including bicyling. Again, if your argument held any water, there would be university study after university study offering up the results you claim.
Both arguments for ballfields while attractive and appealing in seducing an unwitting public perhaps, are simply proven rather quite specious when a little logic and research are applied.
