Four teens were cited for disorderly conduct after rapping their order over the intercom at a Mc Donald’s drive up. The teenagers were mocking a video they found on YouTube. Spenser Dauwalder the 18 year old and three friends 17 years old, were told that they were holding up the line. To give his order or leave, Spenser stated that there was nobody in line but them. Ultimately the boys left without buying anything. The manager of the Mc Donald’s wrote the vehicles’ tag number down and called the police. The employees did ask the teens several times to speak plainly. The American Fork Police officer Sgt. Gregg Ludlow found the teens at a high school parking lot outside of a volleyball match. The citation the boys received was no more than an infraction, a lot like a speeding ticket. This is given to people that does something to cause an annoyance or an alarm to others.
I was happy to hear that society is stepping up instead of stepping back on allowing teenagers to conduct themselves in public with manners. It is wonderful to see that some areas in the United States are not allowing this kind of disturbance and horrible behavior. I think they were given ample enough ability to do what was right by speaking in the manner that the person inside could understand what they were saying.
I do feel that the employee should in no manner of felt threatened unless one of the teens threatened them personally. As the article on http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33541983/ns/us_news-weird_news/ "The employee in question felt that her safety was at risk as a result of the alleged actions of these individuals in the drive-thru, not as a result of them rapping their order," franchisee Conny Kramer said in the statement. "As such, she contacted the local authorities.” I found to be interesting if this was true of they just wanted to make an example of the kids for others not to behave so.
But Sharon Dauwalder, Spenser's mother, said they will fight it nonetheless. "We have to," she told The Associated Press on Thursday. "The citation is there." This is the type of parents that allow this kind of behavior from kids. I will agree once the boy reached 18 years old your pretty done as to what you can get them to act like and what you can’t. But to condone the behavior goes to say, makes you wonder where the boy got the concept that acting as such is acceptable. Our society today constricts parents to do half the things they used to do to control their children. I was raised as the old saying goes, “This hurts me as much as it does you.” I was not abused I was disciplined, I was taught how to act in public when mom and dad was there and when they weren’t. I agree this is a small issue that was made into a big issue, but it is something that should have never been allowed to have happened and shouldn’t be condoned to be acceptable.

Military plane, helicopter collide off California
The U.S. Coast Guard and the Navy was searching until early hours on Friday on October 23rd for as many as nine bodies do to a collision. This collision involved a Coast Guard plane and a Marine Corps helicopter. The crash was reported to be at 7:10pm Thursday only fifty miles off the San Diego County coast. There were seven people on the C-130 that was involved in the crash and two on the helicopter. Debris from the C-130 has been spotted by the Coast Guard. A search was planned to last though out the night, with the aid of three cutters and diverting an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter to search for any survivors. The Navy assisted with four vessels and multiple helicopters.
I was so devastated to read such a thing, it is bad enough to lose our men in the war, but to lose them on a training accident brings the reality of this article to such a form I was in tears. Knowing my niece is headed for boot camp in December brings this even closer to home for me. All we can do is support our women and men over there and all those at home in all they do.
This is in regards to 9 lives affected by many, many other lives. You’re not just reading statistics your reading about 9 brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, sons or daughters, grandsons, or granddaughters, these are lives that will not return on their own, but return in the flagged draped boxes. A pilot reported seeing a fireball near where the aircraft collided, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said, and the Coast Guard informed the FAA that debris from a C-130 had been spotted. Seven people were on board the plane, a C-130, and two people were aboard the helicopter, said Petty Officer Allyson Conroy.
It saddens me to see the women and men lost in battle, friendly fire, or training accidents trying to prepare for any overseas maneuvers. Life is difficult enough as it is to try to survive during our recession age we are in, but to lose such brave souls as these men and women on a training accident saddens me more. I am comforted to know that such a search of mass proportions was launched for these unfortunate victims. We all have our opinion in regards to whether we think we should be at war still or at all. As I read more on this article from http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_midair_collision it reminded me that no one is exempt from not coming home for any reason. My prayers go out to the families of the ones we have lost in the war and in friendly fire or in training accidents.

Obama declares swine flu a national emergency
President Obama declared the swine flu a national emergency; this gives the health secretary the ability to suspend federal guidelines at hospitals. This will suspend federal guidelines at hospitals and will speed up on how infected people are treated in a disaster. This allows hospitals to increase their speed of treatment by not requiring giving as much information during a hectic time. This declaration allows the Health and Human Services to let hospitals relocate emergency rooms off the site to reduce any cross contamination and to protect any non-infected flu patients. "As a nation, we have prepared at all levels of government, and as individuals and communities, taking unprecedented steps to counter the emerging pandemic," Obama wrote in the declaration. He said the pandemic keeps evolving, the rates of illness are rising rapidly in many areas and there's a potential "to overburden health care resources." The swine flu is more widespread than first thought. Health specialist stated almost 100 children have died from H1N1, which are infected 46 states now. Since the H1N1 was first announced in the beginning of the year there has been over 5,000 deaths worldwide according to the World Health Organization. This figure is rightfully underestimated by a large number do to the fact most countries have stopped counting individual cases of this flu strand.
I as everyone else have been in fear of seeing my children or grandchildren come down with this flu. Our attention to personal hygiene was important prior but has increased since this outbreak. This story doesn’t change my thought prior, during or before my reading it. I am a bit happier that the president has stepped up and started the process of doing whatever it takes to make sure that the people that are infected get the treatment they need to hopefully conquer this medical issue and to protect those that do not have this flu.
After seeing the children on the news that fought so gallantly for their lives against this flu, and won, makes me feel better knowing they are sending out vaccinations in November and December. According to Philip Elliott of Associated Press, “The government now hopes to have about 50 million doses of swine flu vaccine out by mid-November and 150 million in December.”
The fear is not unjust, and to state that the world is Paranoid is not out of context. This could be another Black Plague, which was at its peak during 1348-1350 taking 30-60 percent of Europe’s population. The further I read this article on http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091024/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_swine_flu the more paranoid of germs I became. To compare the H1N1 to the Black Plague is something I don’t think is too farfetched. Knowing how the population as of today has dropped do to this Pandemic is not quite as dramatic as the drop in the population do to the Plague from estimated 450 million to 350 million are numbers not too far out of reach. To protect yourself against such things as the flu, or virus’s people need to learn to keep their hands washed, cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough. These are items that I have for years hated to see people do in public or at work, if you have to cough or sneeze, please oh please cover your mouth I don’t want whatever you have. If you can stay at home when you’re this sick, this is one of the few times when Mom said, “Share honey!” she didn’t mean your germs.

Report Finds Lapses in Handling of G.I. Accused of Murders in Iraq
Sergeant John Russell, 44, a 15 year service man in the Army, was in his first year of his third deployment to Iraq. Mr. Russell had visited the stress clinic located on Camp Liberty; this was where he was being counseled. United States military investigators said in a report, Sgt. Russell had been behaving erratically for weeks — even threatening to commit suicide — but a lack of adequate guidelines on how to handle his case allowed it to get out of control, United States military investigators said in a report. Sgt. Russell had visited the stress clinic four times before the shootings, but there were no guidelines for someone in this mental state. Members of his unit were concerned enough they took it upon themselves to put a watch on him during the evening. Sgt. Russell’ unit commander took it upon his self to remove the bolt from his weapon three days prior to the incident. Sgt. Russell stole a M-16 rifle and a vehicle from one of the M.P.’s that was assigned to return him to his unit after an altercation at the clinic. Although the M.P. reported immediately of his vehicle being stolen and his weapon and the Sergeant was on his way to the clinic in a very agitated state. Sgt. Russell opened fire on three patients and two staff members one of which was a Navy commander.
This story ripped my heart out, knowing this man had went for help time and time again. My ex-husband was in the military so I got a close up as to how the military works. I know the war is horrible, and I know the horrible casualties that lie within it. The system is in dire need of revamping and this incident is exactly the proof that there needs to be change now. The fact that the report even states the chase with Sgt. Russell was disorganized proves my point, unable to establish telephone or radio contact with one another.
The Sergeant, “stated the he had several doctors and they had all made him angry, that one of them made fun of him, one of them mocked him, and that this doctor had just made him angry. If you can’t help me then I will just kill myself.” I personally think that a statement as such would warrant to stepping up and locking this man up until someone can reach the obviously unreachable person that has to authorize his detention. This situation was able to be avoided and the fact it wasn’t shows there is room for improvement. And as it was so well stated in http://www.nytimes.com many of the report’s recommendations have already been carried out, stated by a military spokesmen
With our men and women risking their lives then I think this issue should be addressed and solved immediately before any other fatalities occur. My heart goes out to those lost, either in battle or friendly fire.

Body of Florida girl believed found in landfill
Located in Orange Park, Florida the local authorities have possibly found the body of Somer Thompson, 7 years of age. The identification of Somer at this time is her clothing and a birthmark, all matching the mothers’ description. Georgia Landfill is near the Florida state line and there Somer Thompson was to stay hidden until detectives spotted her legs firs and found the body partially covered in trash. The police department has questioned over, 70 registered sex offenders in the surrounding area and have records of 161 offenders that live in a five mile radius of Somers home. Laura Holt the aunt to Somer, stated, “I don’t think they deserve to live, I don’t think there’s anything worse that a person can do – to kill a child and dump her in the dump like a piece of trash?”
It scares me to death to think that people think so little of a life to treat it and dispose of it as such. The tears ran from my eyes like rain from the sky. How can someone take something as precious and innocent as a child? My thoughts haven’t changed much after reading the article in www.usatoday.com in regards this article if anything it has gotten worst.
My opinion regarding this horrible act is no different than the Aunt Laura Holt, “I don’t think here is anything worse that a person can do - to kill a child and dump it like it was trash.” How can anyone treat a child as such or just human life? The more I read this article I could feel my blood pressure raise and my face get red with anger. My thought in regards to the criminal that did such a heinous crime is that sooner or later you will make a mistake and you will be brought to justice. Not the kind of justice you deserve but the kind you have a right to. Unlike the child they killed, the murderer will have their day in court. There is no justice in this by any means. Why should we the tax payer pay to house and feed and clothe people that have no regards for human life. They should be treated as though they treated their victims.
Personally the justice system over the years has gotten too lapsed in the United States. I feel that rapist, child molesters, baby murders all should be put to death with no day in court. I don’t want to hear excuses that she had postnatal depression, and that is why she killed her baby. I don’t want to hear that his dad raped him when he was younger and he became a priest and carried on dad’s tradition. I want to see and hear raw justice for high intense crimes, involving death and rape or even kidnapping with intent to harm. Whoever came up with the concept of life in prison without parole should be shot themselves. Just put them on death row, and start cleaning house, quite lollygagging. Expecting the government and the general public to support, lodge and feed the same criminals that have inflicted such danger on their well being is ludicrous.

Frontenac man a hero after risking his life to save an infant
On Thursday afternoon the owner of A. Lusker Masonry, was working at a church across the street from a home on fire. The volunteer fire department responded to a call by Mr. Lusker. He ran across the street to see if he could be of any assistance. Two women were standing in the front yard and one was screaming in fear her baby was inside the home. Without a thought, Mr. Lusker ran into the home twice unsuccessfully in finding the baby he tried one last time. As Mr. Flora the Frontenac Police Chief stated in regards to Mr. Lusker, “If Adam wouldn’t have went in when he did and found the child I think that the smoke would have overcame so bad that we would have not ever got in to get him.” The fire department says they will continue to investigate the fire. On the good side, the baby was discharged from the hospital. Mr. Lusker will be recognized for his step of bravery at the next upcoming city council meeting.
I first was floored as I read this article knowing that people in general are not as heroic as Mr. Lusker. People are more self preserving in this age as to previous years. This was a very selfless act on behalf of Mr. Lusker, knowing the fact he is a father of three children and had a lot to lose by being hurt or killed trying to rescue this baby.
Most people would of thought well of Mr. Lusk for just the small act of picking up the phone, and calling in the fire. The real change of thought and reaction on my behalf on humanity in general is his humble attitude in regards to it all, “I was just in the right place at the right time on Thursday.” This made me change my thought about the human race as it was; my outlook was very bleak before this, “Hero,” stepped into the news. I am excited to think that people like this man actually exist, that step up to the plate and show compassion for your fellow human beings.
Chivalry isn’t dead!! As I read this article located on www.fox14tv.com I was shown by this man’s actions that compassionate, caring people still exist in this world. When you think there is no one out there that cares if people are in pain, or in need. This man has a heart, and there aren’t too many people in this world with such heroic standards. He deserves to be recognized for his actions. Maybe, more people women and men alike will learn from Mr. Lusker’s actions. With everything to lose and nothing to gain, Mr. Lusker thought nothing of his own well being and only of the baby. So to you A. Lusker, my hats off to you, your selfless act doesn’t go unnoticed.

Many angry man wouldn’t marry interracial couple
New Orleans, Louisiana governor and U.S. senator is agreeing with many other s asking for the resignation of a local official who refused to marry an interracial couple. Keith Bardwell, a white justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish in the southeastern part of Louisiana refused to marry Beth Humphrey, a white woman, and Terence McKay, a black man. Republican Governor Bobby Jindal, stated, “Disciplinary action should be taken immediately, including the revoking of his license.” Mr. Bardwell did not return any phone calls Friday. Mr. Bardwell has always asked couples if they are interracial, if so, he refers them to another justice of the peace. As stated by Bill Quigley, the director of the Center for Constitutional Rights and Justice, “A justice of the peace is legally obligated to serve the public, all the public. Racial discrimination has been a violation of Louisiana and U.S. law for decades. No public official has the right to pick and choose which laws they are going to follow.” Mr. Bardwell’s poor decision by rejecting this couples request has sparked other comments from officials such as, U.S. Senator Mar Landrieu, stating, “It is an example of the ugly bigotry that divided our country for too long.”
Can you feel the rage? Mine or others? How horribly rude can one person be? I was offended, astounded, and let down in the system that people like that are allowed in office. This man needs to be taken out of office and charges brought against him were my first initial thought regarding this article.
I knew there were crooked politicians in the official offices but when someone has the ability to show the public such as Terence McKay and his new wife, then I think something needs to be done. This man needs to be removed from office, charged with breaking the law and led as an example for upper powers of law that nobody is above the law. Please do not think that I believe that statement to be totally true we all know, politicians, doctors, lawyers have gotten by with much more then this crime. But my feelings have been confirmed in our justice system if nothing is done about this horrible injustice to the public.
I have no idea what Mr. Bardwell’s thought was by turning this couple down, but he needs to wake up and smell the roses, this isn’t the 1940’s or 1950’s. We strive as American’s to be proud of our history and what we have over came. The public does realize racial discrimination still exists but with each strive of each passing day I hope that we will surpass this immature and selfish way of thinking. Mr. Bardwell has no right nor ever has a right to decide on who he should judge to be married or not to be married. Mr. Bardwell has served as a justice of the peace for 34 years but this doesn’t give him a right to break the law and find no fault in doing so. He should be no different than someone speeding and being caught doing so. Also this article found at, http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091016/ap_on_re_us/us_interracial_rebuff
Has a grammar issue on the title. Don’t you love English, would of never thought about it before all this.
