UNDERAGE parties have plagued the Gladstone region over the school holidays with alcohol-fuelled teenagers taking to the streets for a “night out”.

Gladstone Police Acting Senior Sergeant Jane Healy said there were always issues over the school break.

“The worries are the impromptu parties that start small and get out of hand and over the school holidays there are always problems,” Sgt Healy said.

Sgt Healy said many teenagers didn’t realise the repercussions of a drunken night out.

“A lot of people don’t understand the level of responsibility on parents and carers (to maintain a party),” she said.

“There are offences for supplying a child with alcohol and fines for underage alcohol possession.

“Other then the legal ramifications children can often not understand the impact underage drinking can have.

"A child’s brain is not developed to handle alcohol and they generally react quicker to the substance than adults – the long-term affects are the main concern.”

Sgt Healy said parents could curb the underage partying problem by keeping the lines of communication open with their kids.

“Parents place a lot of trust on their kids and often the more restrictions you place on children the more they want to rebel,” she said.

“The best thing they can do is know where their kids are going and who they are going with and be open and honest about the fears they have concerning their kids.”

Gladstone Blue and White Taxis general manager Alan Roe said kids were usually well behaved when using the taxi service.

“When most cabs go to pick up kids from a party the police are usually already there and help kids into the taxis and help them find a way home,” Mr Roe said.

“If there are brawls whilst our cabbies are dispersed they will radio in and we simply won’t pick them up.

“They are usually not much trouble and there are a lot of good kids in Gladstone but as usual it is half-a-dozen bad ones that ruin it for the rest.”

Schwarzenegger fathered a child with longtime member of household staff

Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife, Maria Shriver, separated after she learned he had fathered a child more than a decade ago — before his first run for office — with a longtime member of their household staff.

Shriver moved out of the family’s Brentwood mansion earlier this year, after Schwarzenegger acknowledged the paternity. The staff member worked for the family for 20 years, retiring in January.

“After leaving the governor’s office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago,” Schwarzenegger said Monday night in a statement issued to The Times in response to questions. “I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologized to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry.

Hola Barcelona!

For mid-semester break, Damon and I decided to travel to Barcelona, then Paris for the week.  In Barcelona, we got to meet up with my parents, who were travelling through as well on route to Seville for a conference.

We ate dinner at the Els Quatre Gats, which is where Picasso and all his friends used to hang out back in the day.
