Panic Buttons In NJ Schools Proposed By Essex Assemblyman
Democratic Assemblyman Ralph Caputo's plan would also install red emergency lights outside schools.
An Essex County Assemblyman has introduced a bill that would equip New Jersey public schools with a silent panic alarm that could be triggered in the event of an emergency, NJ101.5 reported.
Assemblyman Ralph Caputo, D-Belleville, said that it makes sense to link a panic button from schools to local law enforcement.
Caputo told 101.5 that legislators and police officers each support the bill.

At first glance, this idea gets an "A" for effort. But let's think it all the way through:
a) It would cost a LOT of money to implement this. Who pays? Taxpayers, of course.
b) Where would the button(s) be located? Just in the main office? Or also in every classroom? Cafeteria? Bathrooms? Library? Gym? Locker Rooms? Any place where something worthy of reporting to the police could take place? That's everywhere, right? Remember, each additional button probably costs hundreds of dollars to install.
c) How would these panic buttons be secured so students couldn't falsely trigger them? Or would they need to be monitored by cameras? Or protected by an exploding ink cartridge that stains the hand of the person who triggers it?
d) That reminds me - don't schools already have fire alarms that can also be used to notify authorities of an emergency? Sure, they're not silent. But in the type of emergency we are trying to address, what is the value of the silence? Especially since the perp will already know that every school has a silent panic alarm, so the effect is lost.
e) What is wrong with just calling 911? Even if you pick up the phone and quickly dial 911 and set the handset down on without speaking, the cops will be coming immediately, especially if the call is coming from a school, right?
f) Imagine that each school at which there has ever been a shooting had a silent panic alarm installed. Would the outcome have been any different? Not much, I strongly suspect.

If someone pulled a fire alarm during a time like in Sandy Hook then all the kids would be in the hallway and be in the line of fire. A silent panic alarm would just go to the police and maybe that alarm can call a code red internal over the loud speaker. I think it's a good idea.

Many people have thought this through, so I'll go point by point...
As a commenter below mentions, some schools now have staff members carry wireless alarm fobs to notify police in emergency situations. They require much less expense than a wired system (a), they work from anywhere in the building and on the school grounds (b), and having them connected to a staff member makes false alarms less of an issue (c).
Some schools have had their old fire boxes disconnected, and those that still have those connections have aging and faulty systems (d).
Unlike 911, a wireless panic button fob does not have to be located and then dialed, it can be triggered while on the move, it will get an instantaneous response from the police (no waiting for the operator to hear what's going on), the response would be appropriate for the emergency situation, and it would keep kids from the halls (e). Also, if one or more staff with a fob is incapacitated, there are others who can still trigger the alert. If you're a teacher or administrator your first thought in an emergency is to get the kids safe, and a wireless panic button allows them to get help in seconds so they can go directly to helping the kids.
These kinds of shootings may not be entirely preventable, but considering the above, this system assures a fast, appropriate and reliable response in an emergency where every second counts.
I too think it's a great idea.
5:19 pm on Wednesday, January 16, 2013
@ Pete Mock, wireless alarm fobs sound like the perfect solution - highly effective, child-proof, and easily activated. Combined with bullet-proof glass and lock-down drills, they would make me, as an educator, feel a lot safer. I'm sure most parents would agree.
11:48 am on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
I am confused-
1. How much exactly is a child's life worth?
2. I am sure the district consults with a security company to determine best practice.
3. It cannot be a good idea for the best plan to be pulling a fire alarm with students pouring into hallways looking to escape running directly into an armed gunman or gunmen. As a matter of fact take a look at Columbine- that was the plan.
4. You pose too many questions - but your first one is the most troubling. I stand by mine. There is no price that I wouldn't spend to ensure my children's safety in our public school. NONE- ZERO. So you can ask as many questions as you want but to me- only my question is most important.
What we need is problem solving.
12:37 pm on Sunday, January 13, 2013
Sounds good but kids will be kids, how do you prevent false alarms?
Mark McCullough
9:00 pm on Friday, January 11, 2013
With every man, woman, and child in this country walking around with a communications center in their pocket, I don't know if this idea is the best place to concentrate our efforts. This, and every other attempt to effectively deal with more shootings rather than limiting gun access, should take a back seat for now.
9:00 pm on Friday, January 11, 2013
Sounds like something that can provide increased security at moderate cost. I'm not sure that having it be a silent alarm is the way to go.
Cindi Cook
9:00 pm on Friday, January 11, 2013
I'd like to know more about this--where it would lie, how it would be used--in order to understand its full utilitarian value. What about installing the same withIN the classroom, instead of guns, like the NRA has proposed? Banks were at one time wide open, and now many have bulletproof glass, sadly. They may have more dollars to risk, but we have children. Sprinkler systems that respond in a split second when there is smoke, as well as smoke detectors, have saved thousands of lives. What kind of concrete applications like these can we install in classrooms so our citizens--children and adults--are protected, as well instead of having to resort to more violence to stop violence?
Love to hear more thoughts, all around --
Cindi Cook, Basking Ridge
12:37 pm on Sunday, January 13, 2013
All of the doors should have bullet proofed glass-everyone in Newtownn followed protocol and all the rules- and still this intruder gained access. Bullet proofed glass in doors, windows, and classrooms should be the norm. And I will have no patience for the cost questions. What do you think the parents of Newtownn would have paid for bulletproof glass that beautiful December day?

Why do politicians feel so compelled to come up with nonsense?
9:00 pm on Friday, January 11, 2013
Seems to make sense but kids will be kids so how do you prevent false alarms?
Matthew Carmel
9:00 pm on Friday, January 11, 2013
Yeah, great idea. At least the school staff can be spared the alarm noise while cowering under their desks waiting for "first" responders who will always arrive after an active shooter has already started his killing.
12:37 pm on Sunday, January 13, 2013
Yo Matthew- pay attention. The teachers DID NOT COWER UNDER THEIR DESKS. I am so tired of teachers being the scapegoats and targets of negativism. The teachers, the principal, and the guidance counselor DIED PROTECTING THE STUDENTS. Where have you been?
7:51 pm on Sunday, January 13, 2013
esther, I'm with you.
Matthew, have you ever been in an emergency situation such as that? I wouldn't be so quick to criticize and/or mock the people who are trying to help... the police, fire, and EMT's. They would put their lives on the line any day to save lives, even nincompoops like you! And if you think the teachers and staff would be "cowering under their desks", you couldn't be more wrong! Grow up, and stop trying to put blame where it doesn't belong!

Actually this is a terrific proposal. I ran operations for an International company with multiple facilities in the United States. Each receptionist in the front of the building had a panic alarm installed by their desk to use for an emergency. Unlike the idiotic proposal by the head of the NRA this proposal makes all of the sense in the world and should be implemented
Arlene M. Baladi
12:37 pm on Sunday, January 13, 2013
I agree...a MUCH better idea than arming the janitorial staff in the school!
Comfortably Numb
9:00 pm on Friday, January 11, 2013
i guess if you cant afford to have an armed enforcer on staff at the school you may as well have a panic button so they can get to the school quicker to clean up the mess.......Personally I'd rather prevent the mess.
12:37 pm on Sunday, January 13, 2013
The 911 system was implemented for just this reason. Quick, universal emergency response. Does a "panic button " really achieve anything more, I dare say not. How about we seek alternatives in the form of identifying those persons within our society in need of mental health intervention, let parents know where to go to receive professional advice. For instance had Adam Lanza's mother taken the time to go talk to someone, would then not have advised her to remove her considerable arsenal from her home. What was wrong with her thinking ? If you have a child who is known to you to be in need of treatment, why would you keep an arsenal in your home. So how about firearms purchase permits,.
Donna Mizerek
9:00 pm on Friday, January 11, 2013
No, sorry...by the time police arrive it is too late and I can't afford to lose my child-can you afford to lose yours?? Put armed Veterans( they know best how to protect!) at the schools! It's the only way to protect our precious children!
9:00 pm on Friday, January 11, 2013
Ask these geniuses why New Jersey residents cannot purchase stun guns for their own personal safety maybe that would discourage more from obtaining firearms.
Alex C
9:00 pm on Friday, January 11, 2013
This is a great idea. I would go even further in terms of infrastructure improvements. Why not outfit the schools with bulletproof glass. Our federal buildings currently have such measures, why not schools. I believe our school buildings should be physically just as as strong as any federal building.
9:00 pm on Friday, January 11, 2013
Great idea until the kids know where they are and decide for spontaneous recess. Cameras on the buttons would deter that, I think.
9:00 pm on Friday, January 11, 2013
...that will cost a lot of money and not do a darn thing. So let me get this straight the killer enters the school with a gun. The school buzzes him/her(less likely) in. The student then takes out his pistol shoots the person at the point of entry. After hearing gun shots an admin/principleLet me repeat/etc... with a phone will hit the silent alarm button. In ten minutes the cops will be there. In ten minutes how many will be dead? Look the only thing that could have saved SOME of those kids at Sandy Hook, Colmbine or VA tech would have been ARMED and TRAINED security. Yes it requires guns! You can ban all the guns in the guns in the world, criminals will find them (that's why they are criminals). Ban clips with more than 10 bullets, the criminals will carry multiple clips. Its not that hard.
In my opinion, the Principal, Vice Principal and two other professionals at a school need to carry a weapon on themselves and be trained. Training should be incorporated within the states Police Academies. Where the principal is out of the school a police officer should be present. If such a strategy is instituted two things will happen 1.) there will be no gun violence at such school (as the school is no longer an EASY target 2.) If there is violence such violence will be minimized.
Talks about silent alarms, banning guns are feel good solutions which do nothing!

You know, for a guy calling himself "numbercruncher1," I have to wonder if you actually can do math. Which do you think will cost the taxpayer more: a panic button to the police station or an armed police officer patrolling the halls of every school in a district? Even arming the principal or vice principal will cost us money; money for training, money for more insurance, money because do you really think that an educator is going to take that kind of risk and responsibility without asking for (and deserving) more? So please, how does your argument that a panic button will cost too much jive with your plan to have armed personnel in the schools?
Oh, and for the record, Columbine HAD an armed officer on the premises, for all the good that did.
Ridgewood Mom

The thing is that the money spent on panic buttons won't properly go where it rightfully belongs, in the pockets of the gun industry. :)

"Oh, and for the record, Columbine HAD an armed officer on the premises, for all the good that did."
Another couple of facts for the mix: Lougher was stopped during a reload phase. One person grabbed the magazine; another hit him in the head with a chair. Had Lanza been forced to reload more often, there's a fair chance that the same fate would have overtaken him (given that some adults were killed heading toward rather than away from him).
It's also noteworthy that one of the people that stopped Lougher was almost shot by some armed citizen coming to "help".

Great idea, but like many of these thoughts from legislators, who is going to pay for it
5:19 pm on Wednesday, January 16, 2013
Hey unfunded- you tell me - how much is one child's life worth?
9:00 pm on Friday, January 11, 2013
Panic buttons? How about a trigger button. As the head of NRA said "it takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun"....waiting for the police, who are the good guys with guns, even if 2 mins will result in deaths. Arm the schools!!!
12:37 pm on Sunday, January 13, 2013
Sure, arm the schools with unqualified people with weapons in their hands who've never made it through the academy or had the proper training to make split second decisions on who's really the bad guy among that group of scared kids running in all directions.
Carl C
12:23 pm on Monday, January 14, 2013
"principal shoots student (or students relative) after mistaking them for intruder"
thats the headline you will see if we arm thousands of principals/ vice principals.
i wouldnt take the NRA looking out for our protection too seriously, you know who spends millions to make it illegal to carry knives for personal protection... the NRA. and thats because they want people to spend their money on guns not knives. NRA doesnt care about your safety or your childs safety, they care about MONEY
Ridgewood Mom
11:38 am on Monday, January 14, 2013
A person with a gun is not the only thing that will stop a person with a gun. In the case of a school or other large institutional building, solid brick walls with steel locks and a lock down system will also do the trick much neater. Accompany this with a panic button that alerts the police directly and you will have a safer environment then you would with people carrying guns around the school.

A friend of mine and I were recently discussing what a great idea this would be. What can we do to help get it done?
Daniel Churco
9:00 pm on Friday, January 11, 2013
That is a good idea. It should also lock all Classroom doors (Still allow exiting, and doors should be bullet proof) Notify Teachers somehow in classrooms, as well as notify the police.
Ridgewood Mom
11:40 am on Monday, January 14, 2013
A good lock does system can be designed with emergency exit unlock mechanisms in place. The lock down process can be practiced simply, just as in a fire drill.

Big over-reaction and a waste of taxpayers' money. If there's a problem, pick up a phone and call the police.
9:00 pm on Friday, January 11, 2013
Now there is a sensible idea...it would be a good start
Music Gal
9:00 pm on Friday, January 11, 2013
That is very good thinking, as long as the alarm couldn't be "cut" or tampered with - the technology selected should not be publicized.
9:00 pm on Friday, January 11, 2013
Now this is something that's do-able...relatively inexpensive, and quickly installed. The armed guards/gun control arguments could drag on for a long time, and meanwhile, no one's doing anything. Thank you, Assemblyman Caputo.
Steven Troy
9:00 pm on Friday, January 11, 2013
Absolutly necessary this should be fed law and funded no reason any school should not be able to have this simple technology that would enhance Saftey in our schools for our kids. This is something that should be done immediately without all the procrastination!

How about putting 911 on speed dial? There's your button!
John Santaella
12:37 pm on Sunday, January 13, 2013
Does 911 not work anymore? Another example of a full time legislator wanting to get his name in the paper shooting from the hip.
12:37 pm on Sunday, January 13, 2013
I am not sure about this panic button idea but I do think a police substation outside each of our schools is necessary for the safety of our children. Yes, I know it will take money to make this happen, but we have so many generous and concerned parents in New Milford that nothing is impossible when it comes to the well being of our kids. Services such as electrical and construction materials, just to name a few, could be donated and volunteers would be plentiful for such a good cause. Our High School SRO has been placed closer to the school entrance but our Middle School SRO has been relocated to the second floor due to construction work. We were told that "both" of these SRO's were "strategically" placed in the schools after the recent tragedy at Sandy Hook. Well, unless a killer is climbing thru a second floor window at the DEO MS the new location of our SRO is useless to all.
12:37 pm on Sunday, January 13, 2013
the preschool i taught at had them.. great idea, we also had code words and panic code announcements that no one would ever guess.
12:37 pm on Sunday, January 13, 2013
I like the idea. Having worked in a bank for 2 years, I felt safe knowing that I had a button right there to push in case anything happened. For those that knock it you should learn more about it before you rule it out. There were some people on here who think the kids will make false alarms, if you put it under the teacher's desk where their legs go but not where a leg could hit it like they do in the bank there will not be a problem, plus the fact you don't tell the kids where it is. With the right training which is not that hard to comprehend it would be a effective tool. It may not be the complete answer but it's a good start. Gun control will be the ideal answer but you should really learn more about this before you "pooh-pooh" it away
Brian Hurrel
5:19 pm on Wednesday, January 16, 2013
Having worked in urban schools for six years, I ccan say with some degree of certainty that the kids will know exactly where the buttons are within two days of the installation.
7:14 pm on Sunday, January 13, 2013
how about doing something about the mentally unstable people in our country?
Edward P. Campbell
7:51 pm on Sunday, January 13, 2013
Someone doesn't know what he governs. Our 911 system already does that. All the schools need to do is program their phones to speed dial 911. Once a call is connect to 911, police are dispatched regardless if there is a caller on the other end or not! They also know it came from a school.
Besides I don't think the outcome at Sandy Hook would have been any different if they had a panic button or not.
We need to spend our money and make laws that are effective. The absolute best way to do that now is to make all States a Must Issue State, not a Can Issue (which means NO) like here and in Ct. There is no magic; we can't wave a magic wand and wish guns away. Also, limiting the amount of bullets a gun can use is as stupid as Bloomberg's Big Soda Ban. Think about it!!!! It means if a shooter wants more ammo, he'll have to carry more guns. That means if one of them malfunctions, then thanks to government regulations he'll have a few others to fall back on.
If Sandy Hook's principal, or janitor had been armed, we may have been reading a story in the papers about a principal or janitor who saved a bunch of kids from a crazy man, instead of this tragic outcome!
12:23 pm on Monday, January 14, 2013
@Ryan, I'm ashamed of myself for not realizing that the fire alarm would indeed bring everyone out into the hall. I've been through enough fire drills in 24 years...I should have known. Good thinking!
William Mays
12:23 pm on Monday, January 14, 2013
I've seen schools with phones leading to the police department or emergency office in each classroom before. Private schools of course. Completely implementable in public schools.
12:23 pm on Monday, January 14, 2013
Edwrard P. Campbell-since this idea was given to the Assemblyman by the POLICE I think they would know a better way for them to get there than anyone else.
Andy Schmidt
10:01 am on Monday, January 14, 2013
At our school, certain personnel carries alarm fobs to notify police. A generic 911 call might just be for someone requiring an ambulance after having been hurt during gym - activating the "panic" alarm fob will draw an entirely different response.
Yes, the "fire alarm before/during active shooter" scenario needs to be thought through and practiced at schools.
5:19 pm on Wednesday, January 16, 2013
I can't believe how worried people are about the cost of possibly saving an innocent child's life!!! If we were talking about their material possessions then that would be a different story. Also the idea of armed vets or police is a double edged sword. I talked about this with my sons principal. Yes we would have someone who is trained to protect and serve...but who's to say they don't crack up one day and decide to take it out on our kids. I'm just sick to my stomach about all of this...it certainly isn't a fun time to be a parent.
5:19 pm on Wednesday, January 16, 2013
Good idea??!! Am I missing something? How would a panic button have prevented Adam Lanza from killing 26 people at Newtown school? C' mon people...THINK!
Tomasina Schwarz
5:19 pm on Wednesday, January 16, 2013
Another dumb idea. This is the age of technology-teacher's (smart, cell) phones could just be permitted in the classroom. In many schools that I have visited, I notice that there are no working phones in the classroom, no way to contact the office except an antiquated lever that connects the teacher to the main office. If we don't have updated communication systems in the classroom already, how will a button help? So silly. This legislator obviously has no idea what the average classroom resources are and he must not have a cell phone.
5:19 pm on Wednesday, January 16, 2013
Does this kind of discussion really benefit our children? Does it make them more secure? Or does this discussion simply not lead to more copy-cat irrational killings.
We can all ensure our phones are able to speed-dial 911. We can give every administrator and every teacher a panic button. We can put a policeman or armed veteran or armed parent in every school, every classroom, on every corner. We can put bulletproof glass in all school doors and windows. We can put a police sub-station in front of every school with a huge sign: "Beware Crazy Shooters, Police!"
None of these actions are likely to actually stop or even significantly deter an angry Montclair 16-year old armed with semi-automatic weapons, hand guns, and anything else dad and mom might have in the home arsenal to ensure their constitutional rights.
We should reflect more on what kind of a society we want to live in and what kind of an environment we want our children to grow up in. Rather than investing in a culture of fear and militarism, monies that go to our schools should be used to teach our children to act responsibly, no matter how disjointed their week has been, no matter how angry they are.

Winner and Update on Vinyl Glasses
Wednesday, October 12, 2011
So, six months later, what's the result?
Well, I am here to tell you that on two of the glasses, it has held up perfectly - they look exactly like the photos above! And that includes washing them in the dishwasher on the top rack (cause I wanted to test them out for you guys, not because I don't like handwashing things...definitely not because of that...LOL!).
So, what about the one glass where vinyl started peeling up? It was because the vinyl I put down had a little gap - I didn't get it to lay flat. And that's the problem. You must get the vinyl to lay flat with no puckering and gaping. I had smushed it and it had a bump and that was enough for water to get in there and start wreaking havoc. So, you have to get it perfect.
Wondering where to get vinyl? I get mine from Expressions Vinyl (click HERE to order). Plastic Cups were from Walmart, in the kitchen accessories aisle (around $4.50 each). I like the solid color area on these glasses - it provides a grip that's nice.

Congrats to the winner! Thanks for the info. I have found that even the wall pops stick very well. I have several family members as guinea pigs for projects. I made car window decals with wall pops and 2-3 years later the decals are still stuck even in the NJ weather.You have to be sure the surface is very clean and dry.

text:
It was going so well at the Senate debate in Springfield on Wednesday night. It really was.
The moderator was doing this bizarre thing, only asking questions about policy. Elizabeth Warren acknowledged that Scott Brown had cast some good votes, but he wasn't a dependable vote for women and the middle class. Scott Brown looked infinitely improved, saying he didn't want to raise taxes on anyone in these tough times, especially not the vaunted "job creators."
Warren is simply being human. Once she got on the big stage she probably realized she could not prove her Native American heritage without some kind of PAPERS. She also, like Brown over and over again, noticed that she had a pale face. The Republicans are obsessed with papers and she probably realized some time ago that it's hard to prove a negative. And hey, I'm sure Brown went to Afghanistan purely for non-political reasons and I bet he personally killed many Taliban.
Over 2 dozen persons involved in hiring her have clearly stated on the record that Elizabeth Warren was hired on merit and not on 'Minority status'. Scott Brown has no document, no witness and nobody has come forward to support his ludicrous claims.
Scott Brown did not even do JAG work in Afghanistan. He stayed in a hotel for photo-ops.
Scott Brown's self accolades that are highly embellished should give the voting public great pause on reelecting him. He hides his neo-conservative views by pushing meaningless photo ops and tangled misleading statements. Yes he is human but he is a tribalist. With a pointing finger and a straight face declares he is for seniors and working people while all the time he is conferring with lobbyist and unethical corporate types to puff up his ego no matter what harm it brings to the working stiffs in this country. Yes his childhood was difficult but several family members have pointed out his arrogance, tendency for destructive behavior, and his propensity to embellish his accomplishments. These are too serious times to elect someone who likes to play Senator as an ego trip rather than to serve the public. His back ups are Grover Norquist, Karl Rove, Mitch McConnell, and Ralph Reed. These are not proper role models for this country.
I've been involuntarily mobilized 3 times since 9/11 as a Reservist & spent 14 months in AFG/surrounding areas. Over 800K other reservists & guard members have done the same, which makes his lack of deployment unusual. Brown's tourism at DOD expense is questionable, esp when he could have gone on Senate expense as official business. Question for Mr. McGrory to follow up on: did Brown claim a combat-zone income tax exclusion for the time he was in AFG? Did he bridge his 7 days in AFG over two months, thus doubling the tax exclusion?
McGrory: How dare you question his service. She has lied about her race and background, and you have the nerve to call him out on a "Technicality".
She did not lie. Scott Brown lied about her. This is proven with over a dozen witnesses. Scott Brown's lies? Totally without document or witness.
You tell someone who really served in Afghanistan what is a technicality. Scott Brown spend over a hundred thousand dollars of the tax payers money on a photo op. How many members of the guard would like to stay in a cushy hotel in Kabul and do NOTHING.
While I do agree with the questionability of his "tour" in Afghanistan, he did clearly state in the debate that he did not see any action while there. He spoke about his speaking with military members over there who ha seen action. I think it's important to remember exactly how he stated his time there.
Brown has clearly stated that he did two weeks of service overseas on a trip to Afghanistan. While he could have used a different word other than "tour" during the heat of a debate, he told the truth. You can't compare his statement in the debate with the serial lying of Liz Warren. Scott Brown has been transparent about his National Guard service. Liz Warren refuses to release her Harvard Law School personnel records for good reason. She seeks to conceal that she fraudulently claimed Native American status. Brian, you are enamored with the leftist Messiah, Liz Warren, and will do anything to unfairly castigate Senator Brown. By the way Brian, have you done five minutes of national service?
Scott Brown did not "Serve" in combat. He has consistently distorted the nature of his National guard service and how he became a cololnel remains a mystery except for who his Commander in Chief was for 4 years (mitt romney).
Scott Brown lied about Elizabeth Warren's application to work at Harvard without a document or a witness. Professors are not hired based on "Minority Status" and only a fool would believe him. While he has no witnesses to his lie, over 2 dozen persons involved with hiring Elizabeth in the past three universities have stepped forware to state she was hired on her merit and minority status was never even discussed. So 0 witness for Brown - 2 dozen for Warren. Fraud is using something for profit, she did not.
She is not a "Leftist" - in fact her policies would have been considered moderate Republican before the Koch Brothers raped the GOP and duped sad people such as yourself.
From a swivel chair behind a desk in Boston, it's damned easy to minimize the service of others. I was taught that ALL service, stateside or overseas, in a combat zone or in the rear, was HONORABLE service. Period.
Scott Brown did not serve in Afghanistan. He did not even do JAG work which is his mission. He stayed in a hotel and pranced around in the parking lot wearing combat gear. That's it.
Service that is dihonorable is not honorable. He wasted the tax payers money to promote himself. He used his office for that. He achieved his rank through politics, not earning it.
...and Prof Warren served where, exactly? Fort Sill? Not!...Brattle (well, it sounds like battle) Street?
Scott Brown calculated this move and requested to go to Afghanistan for political gain.
He has insulted the middle classmen and women that get called to Afghanistan, and have to stay there for a tour of duty.
Scott went for two weeks, and as the piece points out, it was more as a visit. And as a US Senator, a very well protected and planned "visit".
Scott should be ashamed of himself.
This type of political calculation runs through Brown's entire time as a Senator. He clearly is no independent, as evidenced by signing the non-legal and highly partisan Norquist Pledge. This Pledge means that Scott is incapable of compromise or reaching across the aisle on debt issues.
He also regularly and inaccurately declares that the recession is 3.5 years old. In essence, he is partisanly blaming the recession on President Obama. The recession was in full swing prior to Obama even winning the nomination.
Finally, Scott Brown regularly cites right wing partisan institutions for his "facts".
The man is no independent. If he was, he'd be running as in Independent. What he is, is a calculating liar.
McGrory, how many weeks did you spend in Afghanistan? I have not been there but I can tell you that the guys that are and were there appreciate this short time in country and would take exception for you spekaing for them. Stick to Hingham bashing, I actually enjoy those articles. Peace!
Thank you, Brian McGrory! I have been wondering for a very long time how Scott Brown has managed to be in the National Guard for THIRTY-TWO years without ever being deployed while so many soldiers have left young families to serve not once, but several times. This is the Scott Brown who was retired from the military because he was passed over TWICE for promotion, which results in mandatory retirement. Then, VOILA! He is reinstated after he became a U.S. Senator. What is the truth on this one, Scott? You question the veracity of Ms. Warren? Seems you need to do a bit of looking in the mirror for something other than admiring yourself.
Just curious Brian.....how much time and effort have you been willing to dedicate to military service?
If the answer is NONE.....then you have no grounds to criticize someone who has been willing to do so in an honorable fashion. That applies to Scott Brown or any member of the armed services......You really showed your lack of integrity with this piece and the Boston Globe should be ashamed of you.
It is one thing to serve ala draft when you have no say in whether or not you could potentially die for you country. It's another to willfully volunteer where you make it your option to enter military service.
For some reason, it is implied that those that serve are somehow above any criticism. Of course one only needs to read the history of the Swift Boating of John Kerry to understand the incredible double standard applied to the "Those that served" mentality.
I wish the subset of Brown supporters who keep harping on Ms. Warren's ethnicity would give it up already. I think this has been addressed to death, and her employers swear that whatever her heritage it had no bearing on her hiring, which is the point of their objections, I believe. To continue these disproven objections makes them all look like racists who can't engage in any kind of meaningful debate around their own candidate's shortcomings. Oh, wait... it doesn't look like they can.
For once, I'd like to see a Brown supporter say Yeah, two weeks in Afghanistan out of harm's way should not be equated with actual soldier service, and yeah, it's not fair to think that a civilian woman like Warren would have access to the same opportunities and we shouldn't compare the two. But he did go and he did get to see more of what's going on there than someone who hasn't. Is that so very hard to do? I just did it; it was pretty easy. I'm still in my bathrobe, in fact.
Brian, thanks for calling this one out. When Senator Brown made that statement during the debate, my jaw dropped. When he first came on the scene, I actually had some respect for him, but as he desperately tries to keep his seat, his behavior has become increasingly unseemly. For this man to equate his stay in Afghanistan to what the men and women who actually "serve" there was contemptable.
This is not political. If you want to vote for SEN Brown, go right ahead. But here are the facts of this discussion. I am a 57 year old Naval Reservist. I have been in 27 years and was mobilized to Afghanistan for one year in 2009. Since 2001 over 70% of members of the Guard and Reserve force have been mobilized in support of GWOT. The most surprising fact is a majority of people mobilized have been volunteers. If you want to go, you went. All ranks and MOS have been mobilized. The fact that SEN Brown was promoted to O6 without being mobilized, without having a command billet and serving in a billet below his pay grade is unbelievable. Somewhere there probably a NG O5 who probably has all those qualifications and still is an O5. Openings in the military are billet driven. You can not get promoted unless there is a job waiting. They will not make 10 Colonels unless there are 10 Colonels billets available. Do you know SEN Brown was given a Army Commendation Medal for giving a speech in D.C. one day. An ARCOM is not the highest medal but it is significant. I had a friend that I served in Afghanistan and he got an ARCOM when I was there. He was jogging on an Afghanistan Army Base with three other Sailors. They were attacked by an ANA solider (two were killed). He ran for assistance since they were un-armed he then ran back and provided first aid to his fallen friends. He was awarded an ARCOM for that. Who knew he only had to give a speech to receive that same medal. If you want to vote for SEN Brown do so but don't use his military record as a reason.
"These kinds of questionable claims are becoming all too much the norm" ... ok, now you are talking about Warren.
Do we call politicians who tour a war zone veterans of the conflict? Of course not and that is what Senator Brown has done. He toured a war zone in great comfort for two weeks and now he is not only a possible new member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars but he is also one of the many soldiers with gear in the rear who came home and told illustrious yarns throughout history. In Vietnam these play soldiers were called remfs and the first two words are rear echelon. People who play at tragedy make me sick.

Thanks for having the courage to write this. I'm sure you understood that you would be attacked but this story needed to be told. Also is anyone else suspicious of the fact that Sen. Brown's surprising transfer to the Maryland National Guard two days prior to his Commanding Gen. Joe Carter being suspended as a result of sexual misconduct charges. One would think that the Mass. Army National Guard JAG office would have been involved in this and that Sen. Brown would have played a role in it and Sen. Brown didn't want to have anything to do with this. Has he used his position once again to get special consideration because he is a sitting U.S. Senator.
The "Job Creators"...who are they, please. If banks would lend some money, people could start small busnisses, larger ventures, do research, etc. Banks lend money and people create jobs.
But about the truthfulness issue and Scott Brown.
It seems like a long time ago and Sen. Brown was in the afterglow of his Senate victory. When Osama Bin Laden was killed, Sen. Brown said he had been briefed on the event by higher ups in the administration. That was a fabrication. When queried about it by the Press, he said,"yes", he had seen pictures. That was a total fabrication. He said in many campaign events that he talks with Kings, Queens, Prime Ministers about the issues he deals with. That, also, is a total fabrication More recently, not having learned his lesson, he said that he talks with Sec.Hilary Clinton about issues. Another total fabrication, also known as a lie. Some members of his family refute his own flattering account of his early life in his book, "Against All Odds".
As a Massacusetts legislator, he did not have a reputation for being a worker. I recall his early campaign ads for the upcoming election showing him folding laundry at home while his wife was at work.
For Sen. Brown to say "When I served in Afghanistan..." that is once again, not only an inflation of his own imagination, but also, an insult to anyone with an attachment to the armed serevices.
You are correct. As a Massachusetts legislator, he was largely known for showing up for votes. he did file some legislation, like a Blunt amendment like bill allowing health care providers to refuse morning after and birth control pills if their religious views opposed them. And a bill which would have ended a program giving donated cars to welfare recipients to help them get to work if bus or other public transit wasn't allowing them to work the hours they needed. My big problem with that--Brown was taking $3500 a year in per diems for driving his car to work.
I am sure the Globe will cover this like the Tomahawk chops
I was disgusted when Senator Brown claimed that he served in Afghanistan. My husband served for a year and it was a terrible thing to go through. Senator did not receive combat pay during that period and did not participate in combat. Senator Brown supports legislation that would punish people for lying about their military service and I demand an apology.
Regardless of the fact that he was only in Afghanistan for two weeks and he wasn't in actual fighting, he volunteered to be there. He also volunteered to be in the Army National Guard for many years with all the inherent potential risks. He also chose to vote for Dodd/Frank and was, even as you begrudgingly admit, the deciding vote. What exactly are you and others who tend to criticize him ad nuaseum relative to Elizabeth Brown want...another far-left leaning democrat to exacerbate the ridiculous polarization in Washington DC? Scott Brown will at least consider the other side and vote accordingly. Personally, I find that an outstanding trait in a politician and one missing from so, so many. Just my take... Pete
He voted for Dodd-Frank because he HAD to, given the political realities of the Massachusetts electorate and an upcoming election for a full Senate term. He has spent his time post-vote with the regulators writing the regulations under Dodd-Frank to WATER it down, in a less public setting. Once and if he gets a full 6 years term, he won't have to worry about the MA electorate for another 5 years-wanna bet his definition of "independence" (and his votes) changes?
Your comments are usually intelligent, so you must be having a bad day.
Sen. Brown obviously requested training in Afghanistan in the middle of a political campaign for political reasons. He could have made the same request last year, but he didn't. Most in the National Guard don't get to pick and choose, but I suspect the Army pays more attention to the wishes of a United States Senator.
He volunteered for the National Guard, and I respect that, but just how many "inherent potential risks" does a military lawyer have. I suppose he could trip on a stairway or carpet or something, but the risks for those in combat are many times greater.
You missed one, Brian. He ran ads claiming to have authored the STOCK Act and been instrumental in getting it passed. He didn't write the bill that passed, his draft bill was largely pulled from an earlier House bill, and the bill that became law passed the Senate 96-3. He also stated before an event that he had to read and study the Dodd-Frank bill before deciding how to vote. By the end of the event, he'd decided. Did he take up speed reading during events, or get a phone call from Mitch McConnell telling him how to vote? Then there's the matter of his daughter being on his health insurance. Now, that's legal, no problem there. But this is a man who campaigned against "Obamacare", but feels he can use it to get his daughter covered. Then he claimed it's private family business...technically right, but we the taxpayers pay for his health insurance, so it's a little our business if his daughter is getting taxpayer funded insurance too.
Thank goodness he didn't say he served alongside HRH Prince Harry! I have no doubt it crossed his mind.
So those in the coast guard do not deserve veteran status because they were stationed on USA bases? The National guardsmen and Army reservist who make sure the supplies needed to support our troops get here in time are not veterans?
This is a slap to all veterans everywhere.
I agree. Anyone who's been in the military is a veteran. Claiming you've served in a combat zone is another matter. Brown is not a veteran, but he'll be a veteran when he's discharged. Being a combat veteran is another matter. Did he earn an Afghanistan campaign ribbon for his 2 weeks. Please tell me he didn't.
CCFAULK - CG are vets if they serve 90 days on active duty. Not sure what your point are. Active Duty members become Vets when they are discharged. Dosen't matter if you serve stateside or overseas you are a Vet after 90 days AD. A member of the Guard or Reservists need 90 days of active duty to become a Vet. Our two days a month/two weeks a year service is considered training and do not count. Since 9/11 70% of members of the Guard and Reservists have obtained veterans status. I repeat you do not have to serve overseas to become a veteran you just have to serve 90 consecutive days.
As usual, those of you with no military experience and no time in a combat zone get it wrong. I am a Vietnam Vet and have both a son (US Army) and daughter (United Nations) who served in Afghanistan.
There is no rear. From the time the wheels set down until the wheels go up you are in danger.
Kabul is no safer than a FOB (forward operating base). Suicde bombers are as dangerous in a city or a base and they are everywhere. Senator, Col. Brown served in A-stan.
If you want to be critical pick on something you know about.

Needham, MA
len, your perspecitive is interesting, however, I am betting that as a US Senator, Scott Brown received some protections most soldiers wouldn't get. It was far less safe than training in the states of course, but for Senator Brown to equate what he did with what you or your children did strikes me as insulting to you. What you did was far more dangerous.
I have military experience in the same war. I was a draftee grunt. I really resent those who pull out their veteran's badge as if it made their opinion more important than others. It doesn't.
To be honest, I consider Brown's statement an insult to those who have really served, who have been shot at, who have been targets of explosives, who have been wounded or killed.

We allowed our last President to manufacture a myth about his service when, in all likelihood, he was a deserter. We now allow Senator Brown to parade around Afghanistan as a high ranking Colonel from the state of Maryland where he has never served, wear combat gear and then talk about his service in Afghanistan to score points as a politician. I am guilty of "Stolen Valor' if I sit around a barroom or walk in a parade and brag that my service was something it was not. This is worse because elaborate security would have been in place for a US Senator/Colonel(from Maryland) in a war zone. In other words, young soldiers would have been placed in dangerous security positions to guard the gilded rooms of our combat clothed Senator Brown. This is no small matter. Lives were endangered so Senator/Colonel could enhance his resume. To equate a dispute about heritage with that of a Senator who manufactures a heroic pose is a question of values. All service is not equal as some would have us believe. This is the service of a play soldier.
Politicians have been embellishing the truth about their war service for years. The politicians who don't say much about their service are probably true war heroes (i.e JFK and John McCain). LBJ enlisted in the army when he was a Congressman during WW2. He went on the fact finding mission in the South Pacific and ended up on a bombing mission as an observer. The plane was shot at and avoided flak for a few minutes. It was a scary situation but he survived. General McArther, ever the politician himself, gave him a Silver Star. Granted LBJ was under fire with his life on the line, but did not deserve a silver star. He left the South Pacific a day later in order to return on time for a Congressional Session. He wore that star on his lapel for years exaggerating his war record on the campaign trail.

Scott Brown = featherweight, empty suit...a true case of no there, there..a .legend in his own mind.
The best Senator to grace the halls in decades?
I seriously doubt that's true, but I don't have any proof, because I haven't known most of the Senators who have served over even recent decades.
Obviously that's not the case with you. You've known, or at least read about all of them. Was it 300 you read about, or maybe 400?
This comment has been removed.
The best thing Scott has going for him is that he is running against the heinous socialist Liz Warren.
I was in Afghanistan when Sen. Brown visited last year, and I agree with the thrust of Brian's column, he'd be better to not publicly tout the brief stay in a war zone. But, having met Sen. Brown a few times on duty and otherwise, he is a likeable guy and the best option for Senate running. I have already cast my absentee ballot for him.
socialist noun:
An advocator or supporter of socialism
socialism noun:
A political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole
Sounds about right, given the 'you didn't build that, GOOD FOR YOU!' rant.
I'm not saying that socialism is 'evil' ... if it worked to support the greatest happiness and lessen human suffering I personally wouldn't find a modified socialism to be a bad idea, it's just that it never works.
I'll be glad when this election is over. Usually I enjoy McGrory's columns. But this is pretty bad. Sure, Scott Brown might be overstating the case to say that he served in Afghanistan. But he did go there in uniform. If you are looking for evidence of overstatement, lying and resume inflation in this Senate race, I can think of a way better example. I don't remember McGrory's column decrying Elizabeth Warren's dissembling and issue-dodging. It makes him look not only partisan, which is o.k., but partisan to the point of moral myopia, which good columnists are not. After the election is over, I still want columnists who write about my community in a way I can respect and engage with.
When has warren "issue dodged"? You may not believe her on the Indian heritage thing (though I tend to believe that in the 3 schools in which she was a student and in the three in which she taught in, if she had misused her Indian heritage to get ahead, someone somewhere among the dozens who would be in the know would have squealed by now), but she is far more forthright on her policies and positions than Brown who is constantly trying to make himself look less Republican than he is. Warren is exactly what she appears to be, a left-leaning progressive activist and Democrat. Now you may not like that, but she surely isn't trying to fool you into thinking she's anything but. Which is exactly why the rightwing hates her so much.
I have met Scott Brown when he visited my kingdom on behalf of the people of Massachusetts. His grasp of the issues confronting our complex world really impressed me. I awarded him our country's Legion of Merit for his service during the Afghanistan war. signed... King Mentiroso, Monarchy of Fabulosa, Fantasy Island

Nutraceutics Symbiotropin Anti Aging Benefits:
Symbiotropin is one of the world's leading anti-aging therapies that improves body composition, helping you to gain muscle and promote muscle repair.
Symbiotropin has quickly become Nutraceutics number-one selling product. Bodybuilders and Athletes use Symbiotropin to support the repair and growth of hard-earned muscle. Others use Symbiotropin to improve body composition and promote lean muscle mass. Symbiotropin can help improve your quality of life, making you look healthier and more fit.

If you are looking to improve body composition and lean muscle mass as well as promote anti aging benefits, then Symbiotropin is what you have been waiting for!
The pituitary gland is the gland in the brain which is responsible for creating human growth hormones in the body. However, as you age, HGH levels begin to decrease. Symbiotropin is designed to supplement this HGH loss and prevent individuals from showing signs of aging. Symbiotropin works by stimulating the release of human growth hormone in men and women who have a growth hormone deficiency. Symbiotropin is effective because it begins to work as soon it is taken. It helps increase muscle size and strength, as well as help in weight loss. Symbiotropin does this by assisting with growth tissue, while maintaining and repairing muscles. Symbiotropin has also been shown to manage blood pressure and blood sugar. Another benefit of Symbiotropin is that it reverses and offsets the effects of the aging process.
Fully dissolve 2 Symbiotropin tablets in 4-6 ounces of water.
You may break, stir or crush effervescent tablets to speed dissolution.
Once fully dissolved, stir and drink immediately.
It is best to take Symbiotropin at bedtime 2-3 hours after last meal.

To really maximize the effects, follow these other lifestyle tips:

Today we'll be looking at some Augmented reality apps and web services. Augmented reality is basically blending reality with internet information. This has been portrayed in movies like the Terminator when a T-1000 looks at people walking through a mall and identifies friendlies based on looking up historical data and whether or not they're armed. These next two apps aren't quite that extreme but it's a huge first step into an internet augmented world:
Layar - This application lets you take information that's geotagged on the web and overlays it on the camera screen of your mobile phone. Right now it's working on Android based phones as well as the iPhone and is really freaky some of the things you can overlay. There's twitter integration so you can see where buddies within a set area have said, very cool when going to an event (if not a bit of information flood i'm sure). You can also see yellowbook type information to look up businesses and places to eat around you. It can also look for 3D art like the Love statue in Philadelphia. If you try this app out at Penn State you'll be able to find a structure that no longer exists at PSU, something even cooler I think as you can see what used to be near North Halls. This has great potential when looking for those looking to learn more about the world around them as more services get online but Wikipedia is already in there and very useful!
Google Goggles - Sorry iPhone fans, right now this is Android only and wow is it mindblowing. Google's been investing heavily in voice and visual search technologies. Goggles allows you to take a picture of something and get search results about it. It's still very early on but it already does a fantastic job of recognizing text, popular logos, and artwork. I took a picture of the Drupal painting in my office and it came up with drupal.org and the official drupal logo. Then I took a picture of a painting in a Deb's office and it brought up the artist, time period, web images of it and wikipedia entries about it. The same for books too. I took a picture of the cover of an art history book and it asked if I wanted to buy the book and came up with search results about the author. Take a picture of someone's contact info and it will ask if you want to add them...yes...it's that crazy! In a future article I'm going to go over to the Palmer to see how accurate it is if they'll allow me to go. Very cool stuff, great way to learn about places and things you may be unfarmiliar with (it can identify landmarks too though I haven't been able to test).
Apture - You can see this in action down below this text. Apture is a js web service that lets you build out players similar to the one below with VERY minimal effort. A few clicks and you have a site looking that much more professional. It also keeps viewers on the page instead of taking them to whoever provided the content (which could tick some people off down the road if this is widely adopted I think). Check it out though, very easy way to find content for a course and integrate it in a slick looking interface.

The City Has Everything
When visiting any large city there are always lots of activities to see and do. If you have chosen a downtown hotel then you are close to the action, and if you are staying at an airport hotel then the action is a short drive from your hotel.
One of the nice things about staying in a hotel is that every hotel, regardless of if it is a downtown hotel, a boutique hotel, an airport hotel, chain hotel or independent hotel, is that there is usually a hotel concierge who can assist you in planning your stay. Additionally, pretty much every hotel has a hotel information kiosk which has information about events and attractions near the hotel you are staying in. Many hotels also provide an attractions map upon check in and show the distance from the hotel to the hot spots.
For those who want to get an overview of the city, it is best to check with the hotel staff as many of the hotels are on a city tour bus route which will pick up passengers right in front of their hotel. If you are visiting on business, many hotels will offer shuttle service to convention centres, and if a hotel hosts a large convention, often there will be a dedicated conference representative in the hotel lobby.
With museums, theatres, shopping, dining and attractions, the best person to get your information from is the hotel concierge or any hotel staff member. As they are from the area, they know the city best. When it comes to dining, a hotel staff member would be able to guide you to some lesser known restaurants near the hotel which may not necessarily be well known, but offer great experiences. Hotel staff can also tell you where all the best shopping deals are close to the hotel. Never be afraid to ask a hotel staff member for their recommendations as they are the ones who know the area around the hotel the best.
Exploring new cities and destinations are what makes a trip more memorable. Venture outside the hotel's doors and find a world waiting for you. Why dine in the hotel restaurant, when you can explore the local flavors of the city which can be just around the corner from the hotel. And remember, Guide books can only tell you so much, but a hotel employee who has worked and lived near the hotel can offer more information and reveal hidden secrets to the area the hotel is in, so when you arrive, make sure you introduce yourself to the hotel staff and enjoy your stay.

Bexar County Commissioners give a thumbs up to a one and a half billion dollar budget for the coming fiscal year--despite plenty of challenges.
"In four years, we've had no increased revenues in property taxes--so we've had to work for fouyr years with no increased revenue--and this year just a tiny bit" said Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff.
The budget includes a three-percent cost of living increase for non-uniformed workers--and two-percent for elected officials--while commissioneers call for raising the livable wage from nine-75 to just over 11-dollars per hour. the property tax rate stands at just under 33-cents per hundred dollars of value.

text: Bulldogs fall in quarterfinals of Brandon Bean By Bruce WhettenDouglas Dispatch Over the years Douglas vs. Salpointe has become a regular match up at the Brandon Bean soccer tournament. These two teams squared off against each other Saturday in the quarterfinals. The Lancers beat Douglas 2-0 eliminating the Bulldogs from the tournament with a 2-2 record. The Bulldogs began the tournament beating the Buena Colts 2-0 Nov. 19. Bulldog soccer coach Ken Cormier said his teams' intensity and superb defense completely dominated the Buena Colts throughout the entire game as Douglas out shot Buena 15-0. Fifty-two minutes into the match Javier Buelna scored Douglas' first goal of the season on an assist from Luis Teran. Seven minutes later Francisco Orduna threw one of his patented long throw-ins to Kirt Cormier who headed the ball into the upper corner of the goal giving the Dogs a 2-0 lead. Coach Cormier said he was especially pleased with the defensive unit of Luis Teran, Chris Cruz, Johnny Monarrez, Buelna and Orduna. "Coach Alphonso Romero did a great job of preparing our defense, both physically and mentally for our first major test of the season," the coach said. The next night Douglas hosted Sahuaro in the Bulldogs home opener. The match was scoreless for most of the contest. In the 63rd minute Buelna headed the ball into the net off Orduna's throw in giving the Dogs a 1-0 lead. The Bulldogs had 10 shots on goal. Coach Cormier stated that he has been very impressed with the play of many of his young reserves, singling out freshmen Alexis Medina, Abraham Carbajal and Jacob Ortega and sophomores Hugo Grijalva and Fernando Chacon. On Friday the Bulldogs were in Tucson facing a Catalina Foothills team that came away with a 1-0 win handing Douglas its first loss of the season. Coach Cormier said his team played a very strong first half with neither team scoring. At the 57th minute mark of the second half, a penalty on sweeper Buelna led to the only goal of the game. The coach added the hot weather which had temperatures in the mid 80's, took its toll on the Bulldogs in the second half with seven of Fothills10 shots coming in that half. Douglas had six shots on goal, with goalies Juan Rivera having two saves and Marc Gonzalez three. Coach Cormier said he was very impressed with the team's defensive effort, and the overall play of the team. "Catalina Foothills is one of the state's premier teams, and we gave them quite a battle," he said. "We coaches couldn't have been more pleased with the team's effort." The Foothills win gave them the top seed in the pool and advanced the Falcons into the single elimination tournament. The Bulldogs picked up the final seed, which was an at large seed that pitted them up against No. 1 seed Salpointe first thing Saturday morning. After getting home at 7:30 Friday night, the Bulldogs were on the road by 5:30 a.m. Saturday for an 8:30 a.m. showdown with the Lancers. The defending Division II state champion Lancers, , who are loaded again this year said Coach Cormier, proved to be to strong for the road weary Bulldogs defeating them 2-0. At the 18th minute mark of the first half, the Lancers scored making it 1-0, for the only goal of the first half. Salpointe scored again at the 54th minute mark of the second half, making it 2-0. The Lancers out shot the Bulldogs 9-4, with first half goalie Juan Rivera having three saves and Marc Gonzalez two saves in the second half. Senior captain, Luis Teran injured his shoulder during the first half and is questionable for Thursday's key match up with Nogales. Coach Cormier said he was pleased he was with his team's play throughout the tournament, and the attitude of this year's team, but is very concerned with having to find a replacement for Teran. "Luis is one of our key players, and probably not having him against our strongest sectional opponent, Nogales High School this Thursday, is a major concern for us," he said. Cormier said Teran visited his doctor and severely sprained his shoulder. He was scheduled to see an orthopedic doctor Monday. The Bulldogs have just one game this week. On Thursday they are at Nogales. |
