Ummm...no. They were not supposed to be "taught" this part yet. It wasn't part of the approved curriculum. Yes, a kid asked a question. Does that mean ALL the rest of the kids are wondering the same question? Probably a few, but not all.
A more "relevant" question might be, why is the principal teaching sex ed? Does that seem odd to anyone else? (My experiences in education - usually the school nurse or current teacher(s) of that age group cover this instruction). I like both of those options since it keeps the topic "factual" if nurse is presenting and if current teachers cover the topic, they know the best phrasing that will connect with the kids without being over-their-heads or too graphic.
This will utilize the existing infastructure including media, but also DOT digital reader boards, and other resources that the Amber alert bill uses as well. If someone's willing to kill or seriously injure an officer, they're a loose cannon that we all need to be aware of and apprehend as soon as possible.
So sorry, Komo! It amazes me how the loss of someone we don't "really know" can still feel like a kick in the gut.
I don't "disagree", but there is something fitting about the Mountain that Margaret loved finishing him off. Rainier fought back on her behalf. =o)
Ok...if I understood the newscast correctly, Vasser was a parent chaperone on the trip as well as was the father who works for DOC... My question - How, in the world, did Vasser pass backround check for parent volunteers and why didn't the school catch the criminal history????
Did they cite them for littering too?! Or...an unsecured load?! hee!
NO...instead his job is on the line. Recheck your RCWs and find out that a collision can create quite the havoc for a patrolman's career. (key word that may help - Loshbaum)
Ed Murray - that's bull!!! The Gov. is not/did not ask you to come up with a budget deal in 2-3 weeks! She notified all of you lawmakers over 2 months ago that this special session - with the revised budget as its focus- needed to happen in December. That means if you'd gotten your butt in gear and collaborated with other lawmakers, you'd have had an entire THREE months to work on this. Stop the jockeying for position and get to work!!!
Ick. Could it be that perhaps the man wasn't intoxicated, but high on spice, bath salts, etc. That kind of "out of your mind" behavior sounds more consist with a effects of a stimulant than a depressant like alcohol...hmm.
I don't know if any of the unclaimed are veterans, so perhaps this doesn't apply but....Just last month in Lewis County, a group of concerned citizens paid for and escorted multiple veterans' remains up to Mt. Tahoma for proper burial. If any of Benton Co.'s are vets, perhaps the coroner should try to partner with local American Legion, VFWs, etc. Might not help out with the cost of cremation much, but at least the remains wouldn't continue to be stored at the Coroner's office and they'd be treated with some dignity in final resting place.
