Sniffing Bracelet on ‘Children of Addicts’ Segment

bracelets  

In a powerful episode on addiction thataired on Friday, December 15, 2006, Dr. Phil McGraw and his wife, Robin –both children of alcoholics — featured the story of a hard core, high-riskalcoholic whose life has been transformed through the use of a remarkablehigh-tech ankle tiffany jewelry bracelet called SCRAM(R).

Manufactured and marketed by Alcohol Monitoring Systems, Inc. (AMS), SCRAM(R) (for Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor) includes an ankle bracelet that high-risk offenders wear 24/7 during their court-ordered sentences to detect alcohol consumption. Using non-invasive transdermal analysis, the system automatically samples the individual’s sweat for alcohol every hour around the clock. Currently used in 41 states, the system is the only Continuous Alcohol Monitoring solution on the market today.

The December 15th episode centered on James, a former small town mayor who eventually lost seven jobs, depleted his family’s retirement and savings, lost their health insurance, and had passed out drunk at least 300 times over the last two years. His wife, Jill, related how James was a horrible influence on their 15-year-old son, Robert, and how the former town hero had become the town drunk.

In the summer of 2006, James was arrested for drunkenness and domestic violence — with a blood alcohol level of over .40 BAC — and ordered to wear a SCRAM ankle bracelet for three months. According to son Robert, it began to change their lives. At the time of the show, James had completely stopped drinking for six weeks — which was the first time his son could ever remember seeing him sober. “I just want a happy, sober father,” said Robert. “Having him on the bracelet, it’s been great. I’ve talked to a couple of his friends who bangles want it on him for a couple of years!” Robert also says that, because of SCRAM, he’s had the opportunity to finally find out who his dad really is.

Dr. Phil’s wife, Robin, related her own pain and challenges as the child of an alcoholic. “If I would have had one of these (SCRAM), I would’ve strapped it on my father in a heartbeat,” she said. “I’m thrilled for you to have that little piece of mind, knowing he won’t drink,” Robin told Robert.

A chronic alcoholic and repeat criminal offender, James admitted to drinking more than a pint of vodka every day until he was arrested. Dr. Phil cautions James that becoming sober with the assistance of SCRAM is a good first step, but that he’s not completely out of the woods. “You’re what I call a white knuckler,” said Dr. Phil. “Trust me when I say this: Your brain is not right yet. You were .4 on a number of occasions. That’s alcohol toxicity level. That will kill you. It will be a long time before you are detoxified, before those tissues clear themselves rings of alcohol.”

Mike Iiams, chairman and CEO of AMS, agrees. “Studies show that, cognitively, the brain doesn’t begin to function clearly until someone is four months or more into a period of sobriety,” says Iiams. “And unless you can test them every two to three hours, you’re going to miss 98% of drinking events. That’s why many courts are incorporating Continuous Alcohol Monitoring into their intensive supervision programs.”

When asked by Dr. Phil whether he’d continue drinking when the bracelet is removed, James said he wasn’t entirely sure. “That doesn’t surprise anyone who works with hardcore alcoholics,” says Iiams. “The biggest mistake is treating alcoholism as if it’s an acute illness. It’s chronic. And someone like James needs longer than a few bracelets weeks or months of sobriety to get his life back on track.” Dr. Phil concluded the show by emphasizing that SCRAM, coupled with an intensive treatment program, is James’ best bet for rehabilitation and long-term recovery.

About Alcohol Monitoring Systems, Inc.

Established in 1997, Alcohol Monitoring Systems, Inc. manufactures SCRAM(R), the world’s only continuous alcohol testing system that uses transdermal analysis to monitor alcohol consumption. SCRAM is currently in use by approximately 800 courts and agencies in 41 states. AMS employs 47 people across the U.S., and is a privately-held company headquartered in Highlands Ranch, Colorado.

Phillies fan charged with stealing rings misses hearing

Christmas | bracelets | rings  

The rowdy Phillies fan who got tossed from a playoff game in October, stopped on his way tiffany and co out to fill out a job application, and then allegedly stole an envelope containing three World Series rings, failed to appear for his court hearing today.

For that, Matthew Mervine, 22, of Berlin Borough, Camden County, got slapped with a bench warrant.

But he somehow figured out he was supposed to be in Municipal Court at 11th and Wharton in South Philadelphia and went to his local police station to let them know he didn’t mean to blow off his criminal case, said Capt. Laurence Nodiff, commander of South Detectives.

Philadelphia police were contacted and they told Mervine to show up at the Criminal Justice Center in bangles the next few days and schedule a new court date, Nodiff said.

What, if any, penalty he might face is uncertain. Often, bench warrants are lifted and the case proceeds if the person shows up with a reasonable excuse.

Nodiff said he didn’t know what excuse Mervine had for failing to appear.

Mervine could not be reached for comment.

On Oct. 8, Mervine and some friends were ejected from Game 2 of the playoff series against the Colorado Rockies for being obnoxious.

On his way out, police said, Mervine decided to go to the Phillies offices to apply for a job. After filling out an application — with his name and address — Mervine noticed a manila envelope with the name of a former Phillies player on a counter, police said. He then swiped it, police said. The envelope contained three 2008 World Series rings worth $1,100 each. The rings are different from the $11,000 rings given to players, coaches and other employees.

The case was easy to solve: the application contained Mervine’s name and address, and the entire episode was caught on video. Within a few hours, police arrested Mervine at his home on Coleman Road, and charged him with theft and receiving stolen property.

Cutting a Christmas tree on the National Forest is a great holiday tradition for many families and also helps with hazardous fuels reduction by removing smaller trees from the Forest. Following are some tips to make your experience more enjoyable.

* Plan your trip – check the weather, bring plenty of warm clothes, water, emergency food, tire chains, shovel, a saw or axe to cut your tree, and a tarp and rope to bring it home. Make sure you have a full tank of gas when you leave and are prepared for changing conditions in the mountains! Also, let someone know where you are going and when you plan to be back.

* Keep vehicles on designated roads and be aware of changing weather and road conditions. Wet dirt roads can quickly turn to mud, making it possible to get stuck and causing damage to road, soil and water resources. If there are puddles in the road, mud flipping off the tires or you can see your ruts in the rearview mirror, consider pulling over and taking a hike to look for a tree, or turning around and finding a different area to cut your tree.

* Cut your tree early in the season before favorite cutting areas can’t be reached because of snow.

* Make sure you are cutting a tree on the Mendocino National Forest and not from other federal, state or private lands.

* Cut the tree as close as possible to the ground and leave as little of a stump as possible.

* Attach the permit on the tree where it will be easily visible with the tree packed or tied on your vehicle for transport home.

* To help keep your tree fresh, cut at least one inch off the base when you get home and stand the tree in a container of water in a cool, shaded area, checking the water level daily.

The Herald, Rock Hill, S.C., Andrew Dys column: A gift for Christmas

Christmas | bracelets | cufflinks  

Smiling, Haley Christmas tiffany jewelry rides again.

She will ride soon, anyway. Because York County will not stand for somebody stealing a golf cart from a lady with cerebral palsy.

The story of the theft of “Bye-bye,” Haley’s golf cart, ran in Thursday’s Herald. It was snatched last week from her family’s yard in Lesslie. The cart remains missing.

But by Thursday afternoon, Haley Christmas was at Andy’s Used Golf bangles Cars in Rock Hill, deciding whether she wanted pink or blue.

Showing Haley and her father the options was a guy with working man’s gear oil on his hands and tears running down his face named Andy Clabough. A man who heard about the theft and heard from his customers who wanted to donate and strangers who wanted to donate, and without anybody asking, he offered to build a new cart for free.

“Blue!” squealed Haley.

“Blue it is!” called out Clabough.

Before Thursday, Andy Clabough had never heard of Haley Christmas. rings Yet, before 8 a.m., calls were coming in to Clabough with offers to help.

A guy named Wayne Logan who took his electric cart there for service offered up his cart, no strings attached. Since Haley needed gas, Logan just said, “Put a sign on mine and sell it and use the money for Haley.”

Clabough decided right then and there that this girl was going to get a cart, if he had to pay for it himself.

“I never had a morning like this in my whole life,” Clabough said. “This is about the most amazing thing I ever saw. I come to work today, and I found out that people care so much more about a little lady who had her golf cart stolen than anything else.

“Hit me right in the gut, it did. Been crying all day.”

Clabough took an old plastic jar that once held pretzels and made it into a collection box. People called and offered to bring in cash. One guy offered $400.

A lady named Frances McEntee, who before Thursday never heard of Clabough bracelets or the Christmas family, started e-mailing and calling friends and fellow parents at St. Anne Catholic School to raise money because she could not sit idly by after reading of this dastardly deed. The school forwarded the e-mail to hundreds.

“I went to the dentist; the hygienist gave me $5 for Haley, and the dentist wrote a check,” McEntee said. “Anybody I talked with wanted to help.”

A guy named Henry Eldridge from Tega Cay came in to Clabough’s shop to get some work done on his golf cart and dropped in a big bunch of money without ever meeting Haley Christmas.

“No way is somebody going to take away Haley’s wheels,” Eldridge said. “Thieves don’t win. Haley wins.”

By 1 p.m., the jar had fivers and ten-spots and C-notes. A C-note is a $100 bill. Clear plastic jars with c-notes look great.

Finally, better than a thousand dollars to help get another cart to replace the one that had cost about $5,000 three years ago when it was bought. Clabough thought he was on his way.

But Clabough didn’t have to pay for a new cart. Paul and Jeryl Christmas, Haley’s parents, didn’t have to pay, either.

A lady named Nicki Nash whose kids go to that St. Anne school made one phone call to her boss, Founders Federal Credit Union president Bruce Brumfield. Brumfield needed about two seconds to say: “Do what you gotta do; get that girl a golf cart!”

Paul and Haley Christmas came over to the shop to meet Clabough, who sure was getting no other work done Thursday as he fielded phone calls and dropped money in the jar and cried like a baby.

Nash stopped in and told Clabough the cart builder these simple words from behind a huge grin almost as big as Haley’s grin: “Do what you gotta do. Make it happen.”

All agreed that Founders would pay for the base cart, and the donations would pay for the extras to make Haley Christmas‘ golf cart the best cart any girl who likes to sit at the side of the road waving and smiling at strangers ever rode in. And this one will have a security system to make sure it isn’t stolen.

These strangers turned friends decided if the stolen cart turns up, it will be donated in Haley’s name to a charity that needs a cart to get another disabled person around. If there is extra money after the cart is finished, it will go into a foundation or scholarship in Haley’s name to help someone else with cerebral palsy.

“My daughter’s been smiling all her life. She’s 27 years old, but this might be the best day she ever had,” said Paul Christmas, Haley’s father.

Haley gave out as many hugs at that golf cart shop as there were people to accept them. Clabough got his hug and that golf cart mechanic just about floated.

Clabough needs a couple weeks to put together this custom cart. It will have special tires and taillights cufflinks. A radio/CD player, and roof, and special backseats for Haley’s friends and family. A cover to keep out the rain. A gas engine for plenty of get-up-and-go. There will be hubcaps to shine and mirrors to see where she’s been.

But no headlights. Haley’s glowing smile will light the way to wherever she may go.

Want to help?

Andy Clabough, owner of Andy’s Used Golf Cars, is building Haley Christmas a new golf cart to replace one that was stolen. To donate, stop by the shop at 300 Twin Lakes Road, Rock Hill, or call 803-328-8794.

Haley gave out as many hugs at that golf cart shop as there were people to accept them. Clabough got his hug and that golf cart mechanic just about floated.

Clabough needs a couple weeks to put together this custom cart. It will have special tires and taillights cufflinks. A radio/CD player, and roof, and special backseats for Haley’s friends and family. A cover to keep out the rain. A gas engine for plenty of get-up-and-go. There will be hubcaps to shine and mirrors to see where she’s been.

But no headlights. Haley’s glowing smile will light the way to wherever she may go.
