T-Shirt Times

Teenagers are walking billboards for illegal drugs, according to a community advocacy group.

The group, Health Avocates Rejecting Marijuana, showed off T-shirts available at stores where teenagers normally shop — stores like No Fear, Anchor Blue, Sam Goody, Hot Topic, and even JCPenney, the group said.

The T-shirts included phrases such as "Crunk," “Toasted," and “King Bong" that the group said glamorizes illegal drug use.

"If retailers are going to sell these T-shirts to our kids, we need to make sure the public is aware," said Rebecca Hernandez, co-vhair of HARM’s Policy Work Group. The teenagers working against the T-shirts said they might be funny and entertaining, but they’re counterproductive to drug education.

"I’m really tired of seeing these shirts and parents not having any idea," said Marla Schevker, of the Youth Advocacy Coalition. "We’re not druggies, and I’m tired of the clothing companies thinking that we are."

T’s only the middle of June, you’ve already re-read all your "Harry Potter" books and now the days of summer stretch out before you endlessly.

You sleep in as late as possible and then flop on the couch with the remote in hand, ready to spend another quality afternoon in front of the TV.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but maybe you’re getting a bit restless and want to do something productive … wait, that sounds too much like you’re volunteering for Mom’s chore list.

How about something … creative?

Something that doesn’t require any outlay from your pathetic allowance.

Megan Nicolay came up with a great idea: Clean out your T-shirt drawer and turn that pile of cotton jersey into some cute clothes and accessories. Her book, "Generation T: 108 Ways to Transform a T-shirt" (Workman Publishing), is crammed with fun ideas.

STANLY NEWS AND PRESS (ALBEMARLE, N.C.)

ALBEMARLE, N.C. — Every week, the 40 employees of Jensen Activewear produce 22,200 T-shirts and ship them out the door to the men and women of the U.S. Army serving in Iraq.

Currently, the T-shirts are shipped to a distribution center in Suffolk, Va., but there was a time recently when shipments went directly to the Charlotte airport and straight to Iraq from there.

Now nearing the end of its first five-year contract with the Army, plant manager Archie Blalock hopes to land another contract in September.

“We have an experienced work force and have very little turnover,” said Blalock, who started the company as Klip-N-Sew in Millingport in 1989, moved to the current location in 1992, and then sold to Jensen Activewear in 2000.

“We have almost no turnover with our employees,” Blalock said.
