A sticky situation

IRIS SMOOT/Acorn Newspapers

FOR ART'S SAKE- James Buffington, 6, wraps a sticky strip of duct tape around Principal Jeff Rickert of University Elementary School in Thousand Oaks. The event was a reward for students who raised the most money in a school fundraising drive. The fundraiser benefits art programs and assemblies. Rickert stood on a chair against a pole on the playground as the children wrapped duct tape around him; after more than half an hour of wrapping, the chair was removed and he hung suspended from the pole.
