Items of NoJ:e DARE program doesn't work Editor, Belfair Herald: Recently the Belfair Herald (September 9 issue) reported that the DARE program would again be offered by the Sheriffs office. Unfortunately, numerous studies have failed to demonstrate that students who attend the DARE program are any less likely to use drugs than other students. Most studies show no dif- ference between those who take the program and those who don't, but several studies have noted "a mild negative correlation," which, in layman's terms, means that in some cases students who com- plete the program are more likely to use drugs than those who don't. It is interesting to note that in The Netherlands, where personal use of marijuana is legal, drug use is only one-half that of' the U.S. Although our national "Drug Czar," Barry McCaffrey, stated that the murder rate in The Netherlands is higher than in the U.S., this is simply untrue. The murder rate in the Netherlands is actually only a tenth of the rate in the U.S. The Dutch police believe that putting the marijuana trade in le- gal coffee shops keeps young peo- ple from being exposed to other drugs commonly sold on the black market. In Mason County, drug prohibition has resulted in an epi- demic of methedrine, which ap- parently cannot be detected by urine testing. Considering that the Dutch approach is confirmed by a solid statistical difference in rates of drug use, it may be time to rethink prohibition. Terry Scott Belfair Reader disgruntled Editor, Belfair Herald: I am writing to express my dis- appointment with the level of journalistic integrity displayed by Linda Thomson in her article "Vandals Apprehended," in the September 9 issue. The article was presented on the front page of the Belfair Her- ald as if it were news. I would ()pine that it is an editorial. Thomson states, "The Supreme Court decided a number of years ago that even young delinquents have a right to their constitution- ally guaranteed education. Some crimes remove them from. the com- munity, some limit their" move. ntents, but if they are not incarcer- ated, most of them must be el. lowed into the local public schools, whether the school per- sannel lil it or not." I agree with Thomson that the ti'equency and severity of juvenile crime in our schools can be alarm- ing and that it would be easier for students and teachers alike that certain students be removed. Before giving readers a round up of recent juvenile crimes, Thomson proclaims, "Those who burglarized the schools this sum- mer are likely among the students at North Mason High School right nOW." It is unclear at this juncture whether Thomson is referring to the right of those juveniles ac- cused of a crime and awaiting trial to continue their education, or if she is speculating on the whereabouts of additional perpe- trators. Thomson is, however, quite clear in the conclusion of her arti- cle stating that those responsible for these crimes, "as well as the perpetrators of unsolved ones," are being educated'at North Mason High School. I think the Sheriffs Depart- ment will need some evidence be- ['()re they can act on this "tip." Thomson, apparently, does not. At any rate, I would suggest that the comment was inflamma- tory, and that our schools, stu- Middle school open house is Tuesday Hawkins Middle School, serv- ing grades seven and eight in the North Mason School District, will hold open house on Tuesday, Sep- tember 21, from 7 to 8 p.m. The school is on the same campus as North Mason High School, the school district office and the Boys and Girls Club of Mason County. This is an opportunity for parents to meet their children's teachers, as well as Mary Lane, the new principal of HMS this school year. Kiwanis helps eliminate IDD On Friday, September 24, ABC News program 20/20 will feature a story about iodine deficiency disorders (IDD), and the Kiwanis International effort to prevent them. Kiwanis clubs worldwide have been involved in the project of eradicating this scourge that is dubbed the single greatest cause of preventable mental retarda- tion. The preferred method is to add iodine to salt in those geo- graphical areas where it does not naturally occur. Kiwanis clubs have donated over $21 million for this cause. Locally, the Kiwanis Club of North Mason has added in $2,247 as of the last accounting. Kiwanis has combined efforts with UNICEF and others to ass- ist 70 nations in setting up salt iodizing machines, as well as edu- cating the people to use only iod- ized salt. The United States elim- inated IDD decades ago by iodiz- ing salt. The program will air locally on KOMO at 10 p.m. Chocolate Sunday is at the library Sunday, September 19, is Chocolate Sunday at the North Mason Timberland Library in Belfair. Step into the "kingdom of chocolate" with plenty of treats to eat, games, music, an auction, and the author:of a book on choc- olate. Tickets are $12 for adults, $5 for age 18 and under, or $20 for a family of four. This event is a fund-raiser for the Timberland Regional Library Foundation. This group can help with cancer On Monday, September 20, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., the cancer support group Living for Today will meet. The first and third Monday of each month, this group of people whose lives have been affected by cancer meet at the North Mason United Methodist office in the Belfair Log Plaza. This is a nondenominational gathering, providing a safe place for people to share their personal concerns. NM Food Bank ne By ANN KIEHN It has been awhile since the North Mason Food Bank has had to ask our friends and neighbors fbr help. In the past, the dona- tions received through the holi- days have carried us through the summer months. But this year, with more homeless, low income families needing help, we are having difficulty purchasing enough food. We use Northwest Harvest and Food Life Line of Seattle, where we can purchase food at 14-cents a pound. Sara Lee donates bread, QFC donates dell products and bakery goods. They also have a donation box at the front of the store in Belfair. We have friends Obituaries Fay Edwards Fay Marie Rutherford Ed- wards, 78, died Saturday, Sep- tember 11, in Everett.

He never married, and was like a second fa- ther to nephews William "Cap" and Francis. For the past year and a half, Mr. DeMiero lived with Francis and his family in Edmonds, where he enjoyed working in his vegetable garden, traveling throughout the Northwest, at- tending concerts and spending time with his great-great nieces and nephews.

This is "A Tribute to Mr. A.:" North Mason has a mighty vic- tory band. Mr. Andringa, our Marshal so grand. Excuses, he does not take, for tardy or missed dates• Many Friday nights in the bleachers that victory band stood up and played the sound of vic- tory at hand, for those mighty North Mason teams. Also pep ral- lies, parades and concerts gala. Be there, he won't take "no" or "nay" or even "I'll try." Don't march to the tune of a different drummer, or you might be fried. To teach his students discipline is the reason. We will be men and ladies, we won't commit treason. We won't gripe or fuss, although the way of commitment is often tough. So, Mr. Andringa, we salute the Holy Spirit within you, and what you say, we will do. Three cheers, Rah! Rah! Rah! Mr. An- dringa, our Band Marshal true.
