Highclimber Happenings: SAD D goes into overdrive By KELSY HOPKINS the office and the Student Union 2005 and 2006; the district count- For the SADD club&apos;s 26th birth- day, the SHS Students Against Destructive Decisions kicked off SADD club week on Monday, marking their ongoing efforts to prevent drunk driving in Mason County. Skills USA, an SHS lead- ership club connected to career and technical skills, launched the Use Another Word campaign on the same day and has already enlisted the help of SADD club and Key Club members as well as hundreds of students in helping the campus become a safer and more positive learning environ- ment. At lunch on Monday and Wednesday, SHS students got the chance to pick up a red ribbon and sign their own contract for life, pledging to be drug- and al- cohol-free and to refuse to get in a car with a driver who is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. To better understand how the use of illegal substances impairs vision, some students took up the SADD club's offer and volunteered to drive a golf cart through an ob- stacle course while wearing thtal vision glasses, which produce a distorted image of the wearer's surroundings. The presentation will continue on Friday between Building, near the display of a car that was wrecked by a drunk driver. After school on Thursday, SADD club members will be pass- ing out candy to all SHS students who have their seatbelts on and a red ribbon on their car's antenna. In addition, students are encour- aged to wear red on Friday and join the youth rally after school, when both junior-high and high- school SADD club members will be discouraging alcohol and to- bacco use from their station at. the corner of Wallace Kneeland Bou- levard and Shelton Springs Road. Next to this week's SADD club display at lunches, Skills USA members are passing out: wrist- bands and pledges fi)r their own schoolwide service project. Origi- nally inspired by students who were bothered by the abusive lan- guage at Springfield High School in Oregon, the Use Another Word campaign relies on students who will pledge to take a stand when- ever their peers use language that is racist, sexist, inflammatory, homophobic, or oflhnsive and de- rogatory to anyone on the school campus. At Springfield, the campaign led to dramatic change between ed 48 fewer suspensions ['or fight- ing and 165 fewer suspensions for defiance. Skills USA members and other Shelton Itigh School students are now doing their part to reduce disrespect, discrimina- tion and aggravation by choosing another word. Grange will honor service on Sunday Mason County subordinate granges will present awards for Granger of the Year and Commu- nity Member of the Year starting at 1 p.m. on Sunday in the Agate Grange. The program is sponsored by Pomona Grange, a legislative branch of the organization that coordinates countywide activi- ties. Members will provide a light lunch. Persons not members of the Grange who are interested in learning more about the Grange program and what it has to offer are welcome. Subordinate granges located in Agate, Skokomish, Harstine, Mat- lock and Belfair have nominated award recipients in each of their communities. Granger of the Year is traditionally given to a per- son who has contributed to their Grange program as well as local and community events. The per- son must be a Grange member. A person, couple or an organiza- tion is eligible for the Community Member of the Year award. That award is given to non-members working to improve or provide a valuable service to the commu- nity. Recipients of the awards will be announced at the holiday party and program on December 2. .p to{ e o z,e To T.J.'s Hair Salon for leaving their off the list of merchants participating in 1st Friday 2007 on Friday, December 7th & Saturday, December 8th Mason Transit Christmas Lights BUS Tour & Food Drive Come ride with Mason Transit for the Annual Christmas Lights Tour and contribute to the Food [)rive to benefit those less fortunate in our community.
