Youth graduate from DARE program
Fourth and fifth graders across the United States this spring are gradu
ating from DARE programs. Drug Abuse Resistance Education is more
than teaching kids to "just say no" to drugs. This program, taught in el
ementary schools, involves coping with peer pressure, self esteem issues,
violence prevention, and the illegal use of drugs (including prescription
drugs), alcohol and tobacco.
"I do not teach them to say no, I teach them when they are adults it will
be their choice to say no to alcohol and tobacco," stated Deputy Harrell from
Yamhill County Sheriff's Department who teaches DARE.
Willamina and Grand Ronde Elementary Schools had 150 kids graduate
from DARE on May 19. Each of them wrote an essay explaining their
feelings about drugs and the DARE program. One essay from each class
was chosen to be read at the ceremony. Two of the class representatives are
tribal members: Nathan Muller (pictured) and Hope Lafferty. The
others were Crislyn Chewning, Brandi Bergan, Lea Pratt, and
Felecia Schultz.
"It was hard to chose one essay from each class. These 150 were all good,
and I saw 900 essays this year," said Harrell.

The Tribal Office area was the most littered of the Grand Ronde Road area. All of
the above were found in the approximately two block area. A special "Thank You"
to Rzzlz Echmid, Grand Meadows resident that spent the day working with us,
and Russ Leno, for letting us dump all of our litter in the cemetery dumpster.

decompose if not eaten by wildlife in the area.
