Speaking Out :: 10.23.06
Though some of the information in the article isn't entirely perfect, it was pretty cool to wake up that Sunday morning and see my website in the newspaper, even if the article wasn't based entirely on it. Seeing the article that day made me realize something about the world, what it was I'm not exactly sure, but something about the whole situation really made me rethink the way the world works and the setting of goals. The following morning, I woke up, parked in my spot, shuffled to Accounting class, and a new newspaper was printed. Maybe ten people read the article, maybe one hundred people read the article, maybe five people visited my website, maybe none did; but to me it really didn't matter. Because on Sunday March 13th, 2005, the url http://www.bnapoli.com was printed on 54,000 newspapers and distributed around Western Connecticut on the same newspaper I'd pulled out of my mailbox since before I knew how to read it.

Sippy believes having a full-time school resource officer could prevent incidents such as the counterfeiting incident from happening. Officials estimate the position could cost at least $50,000 to fund for a newly trained officer, and much more for a veteran.
"I think if we have a full-time officer vested in the school community, it will provide students with someone they can confide in," he said. "We're trying to be proactive, not reactive."
But Napoli isn't sure.
"As seniors, we could just walk away from this and never look back," Napoli said, referring to himself and Brickley. "We want to make it better for future students. You can't learn and you can't grow up, if people are constantly treating you as if you're doing something wrong. It just makes for an uncomfortable environment."
