"CRUZIN AROUND CUSE"

(Continued from page 4) make myself concerning my son. I feel Tough Love gave my son his life back because of my having the courage to get him help when he didn’t want it. Thanks, Tough Love.” “I would like to see more parents come to Tough Love. They are a very supportive group, even for other than teen-ager problems.” “It’s just great to have a group such as this that supports each other and offers practical help for dealing with family problems." “As a grandparent, I’m glad there is an active Tough Love group in this area. I think it has had a positive effect for our community.” ' 1 “I have been a part of the Wawasee Tough Love Group since the beginning, it’s been three years now. I’ve found working with parents with troubled children very rewarding. It is absolutely normal for a parent to feel alone. It is absolutely normal for a parent to feel they have not done a good job or have done something wrong. This is not true and that is the first thing you will begin to realize and get support for in your first meeting. I can promise to anyone that you can get the right kind of support at our meeting. I always compare a negative family situation with a toothache — if you don’t do something about it, it never stays the same, it never gets better; it always gets worse. Tough Love works, our group is living proof." — Tom Prickett Many parents find it difficult to attend their first meeting. It is hard to share your problems with strangers. After a few meetings, you will discover that the group is really concerned about you and your child. If you desire more information regarding the Tough Love ’Group, you may call Tom at 457-5422, Sandy at 457-2249, or Chris at 457-5069. Tough Love meets Thursdays at 7 p.m. at the Lakeland Youth Center. Syracuse. June 16th will be an extra informative meeting with guest speaker Laura Rescio, fami--ly counselor from the Koala Center in Plymouth. Rescio will provide a short slide presentation and speak on the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse and the effect on the family. Everyone is welcome to attend. A question and answer time will be available. The Substance Abuse Outreach Assistance Program (SAOAP) of WawasegMigh School will resume in the fall of 1988. Karerh’arr, instructor for the program, continues to do an excellent job with the help of Mari|n Breyer, a parent volunteer. Most of the teens who attend the program benefit from the special care and attention give by Parr and Breyer. Parr is organizing a parenting program to be presented at Wawasee High School in the fall. Guest speakers and parent discussion panels will address subjects such as communication skills, ' anger, control and other interpersonal topics. It’s great to see the concern of the school officials and to know are willing to acknowledge the need for programs such as the SAOAP and parenting workshops. Many schools > will “stick their head in the sand” and ignore / suchproblems as drug and alcohol abuse. A few statistics taken from the May 1, 1988 issue of Parade Magazine: ♦The average age of first drug use is now 13; of first alcohol use, 12 ♦One in three 12 to 17-year olds has tried marijuana, and one in six still uses it

♦A Week/y Reader survey of fourth-graders found that nearly a third already were being pressured by their peers to try alcohol and marijuana. These statistics are shocking. They occur in every town, large or small. Many parents are not aware of them. Uninformed parents cannot help a child who is having problems with drugs or alcohol. It is certainly surprising after realizing these facts that there is not a “JUST SAY NO” Club at Syracuse Elementary School. The “Just Say No” Clubs at North Webster and Milford have been very successful. The “Just Say No” message is a clear, moral stance on drug abuse: using drugs is wrong, every drug is potentially harmful and there is no • responsible” use of illicit drugs, alcohol, or tobacco by minors. Our children must learn to say "no.” To accomplish this, “Just Say No” Clubs offer a four-tiered program aimed at children in the critical years, 7-14. The emphasis is on having fun while developing the skills to resist peer pressure; A “Just Say No” Club is just one way of preventing drug abuse and is an important way of getting young people involved in prevention. A “Just Say No” Club can be the catalyst that helps change the widespread acceptance of alcohol and drug use among kids. It can be the first step — the step that involves young children in positive, healthy, drug-free lifestyles. Other steps will logically follow. These steps include programs that encourage young people to seek legitimate, respectable roles in society and remain drug-free. A “Just Say No” Club can be the beginning of a lifelong determination to remain drug-free. It is especially important for young people to begin saying “no” to illegal drugs at an early age. Since researchers have found that kids are starting to use these drugs as early as the upper elementary grades, this is where “Just Say No” Clubs must start. This way the club is part of the front line in the battle against drugs. The “Just Say No” Pledge: .1 pledge to lead a drug-free life. I want to be healthy and happy. I will say No to alcohol. I will say No to tobacco. I will say No to illegal drugs. I will help my friends say No. I pledge to stand up for what I know is right. Let’s get a “Just Say No” Club started at our elementary school. Interested parents, teachers, or others who would like to help or are just interested in more information about a “Just Say No” Club can contact Tom Prickett at 457-5422. —O'RAYMOND (“PICKLE”) Newcomer, Syracuse, will be completing 37>/ 2 years of service at Johnson Controls in Goshen on Tuesday, May 31. —o— THE JAYCEE’S “Fun Book” is published and ready for distribution and purchase.
