Fairly Odd Parents: Camp Sherwood is a fan-made comic series based on the popular Nickelodeon animated show The Fairly OddParents. The comic follows the adventures of Timmy Turner, a 10-year-old boy with two fairy godparents named Cosmo and Wanda who grant him wishes to solve his everyday problems. In this comic, Timmy goes to Camp Sherwood, a summer camp where he meets other kids from different shows, such as Danny Phantom, Jimmy Neutron, and Teen Titans. However, things get complicated when Timmy's arch-nemesis Vicky becomes the camp counselor and tries to ruin his fun.
Wakeboarding, a cross between snowboarding and waterskiing that sees you towed behind a speedboat, is another exciting new watersport. It's fairly easy to pick up and the waters around the UK are perfect for it. Jersey's Atlantic Hotel (01534 744101; theatlantichotel.com) at St Ouen's Bay, runs taster courses for teenagers and parents. Prices start at 130 per person (based on two people sharing) for a four-night stay. Wakeboarding lessons start at 25 per person.
Under the two-fold test set forth in Sneesby v. Davis and Engels v. Engels, cited in the majority, the trial court rightfully placed the twin daughters with the father. Thirteen findings of fact and six conclusions of law were entered after both parties presented testimony, affidavits, and oral argument. A fair reading of the record and formal decision of the trial court reflects that the trial court hinged its decision on the irresponsibility of the mother and her failure to maintain a stable home for the twins. The father's environment and employment record were more stable; the mother was employed when the divorce decree was entered but unemployed when these proceedings occurred and was being supported by a male friend with whom she was living. Evidence was introduced that a child neglect report had been made to the South Dakota Department of Social Services for failure of the mother to pick up the twins from a babysitter. Thereupon, said Department took the twins to St. Luke's Hospital in Aberdeen as one child was running a fever and developed an ear infection. The trial court indicated that the physical facilities of the father in Aberdeen and the presence of two grandmothers in Aberdeen provided a more suitable situation for the twins than to have them living in a small trailer in construction camps. A material and substantive change of circumstances was found. Equating options for the twins' best interests, the trial court opted for custody in the father. In my specially concurring opinion in Spaulding v. Spaulding, 278 N.W.2d 639, 642 (S.D. 1979), I expressed that the "[f]ather and mother must be compared as to who could provide the better educational, moral, physical, emotional, temporal, and mental benefits." It is my opinion that the trial court was compelled to use a comparison when it reposed custody in the father of the two contending parents, for Conclusion of Law II declares: "That both the Plaintiff and Defendant are fit and proper persons for the custody of the two minor children of this marriage."
