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.

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

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

This is an opportunity for parents
to meet their children's teachers,
as well as Mary Lane, the new

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.

It has been awhile since the

Tribute to Mr. 'A'
Editor, Belfair Herald..
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.

Tribute to Mr. 'A'
Editor, Belfair Herald..
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.

We appreciate their help very
much, and thank them for their
help.
We would like to thank our
friends who donated school sup-
plies this year. It is getting hard-
er each year to supply the chil-
dren with the clothing and sup-
plies they need. It was a great
idea to help them.
We are an all-volunteer group,
no paid employees. Many of us
give 10 to 20 hours a week to
keep the Food Bank in operation.
So, if there is anyone with time
on their hands (especially those
who can lift 40 pounds), we could
sure use you.
Please call 275-4615 or 275-
