POET'S CORNER

I skate these streets of battered curbs and worn out ledges looking to destroy and trying to employ the knowledge of sessions past skating hard and skating fast in and out of cars, past bars, years of scars sometimes down, but never out always learning, always burning skating is forever

-- Mike Princiotto, Boonton, NJ

AWFUL TRUTH

SKATEBOARD BASH EARNS JAIL TERM

A drunken drifter who bashed an elderly pedestrian across the head with skateboard, then attacked a young woman moments later with the same weapon, has been jailed for seven months. The 68-year-old victim was hospitalised after Richard Paul Boyd clubbed him with the skateboard while walking along Broadbeach Nerang Road near Jupiters Casino. Boyd, 40, yesterday pleaded guilty in the Southport court to serious assault on the pensioner and to causing actual bodily harm to the 24-year-old pedestrian. Boyd initially told police the attacks mere an accident but later said his victims had looked a hi the wrong way.
