However, Commissioner

see a need in the county for
better mental health and

es funding.
"I think it's absolutely in-
cumbent upon us to protect

more especially protect those
who have issues," he said.
"Under no circumstances
have I seen more of a trav-
esty among any law enforce-
ment agency than to use a
detention area or a jail to
house individuals who have
problems that need to be
addressed on a professional
medical level."
Lingle also said that he
would support the creation of
therapeutic courts designed
to deal with people with
mental health and chemical
dependency issues.
"On a personal level, I've
seen the results of a thera-
peutic court and I'm very
pleased with the results," he
said.

GED in the top ten percent of all graduates, qualify-
ing them for the federal Robert C. Byrd Honors Schol-
arship.
Although many of OCS's GED recipients feel that
they have achieved a huge goal, they aren't done. Ims-
dahl is now working towards the medical assistant as-
sociates degree at OCS.
"I felt like after what I went through I wanted to be
in the medical field," she said.
McCune said that without the encouragement and
help from OCS staff she and many of her peers may
never have succeeded in getting their GEDs
"It's just time, you know. You can't just dwell in
dreariness ... It's a wonderful experience, if you're
scared, don't be," she said.
