Freeper Canteen, Canteen Kids March 29, 2006 What I learned from the DARE Program

I am a DARE GRADUATE

Dare means: Drug Abuse Resistance Education

The program taught me

Ten Things Kids Can Do To Stop Violence  

 

•	Settle arguments with words, not fists or weapons. Don't stand around and form an audience when others are arguing. A group makes a good target for violence.
•	Learn safe routes for walking in the neighborhood, and know good places to seek help. Trust feelings, and if there's a sense of danger, get away fast.
•	Report crimes or suspicious actions to the police, school authorities, and parents. Be willing to testify if needed.
•	Don't open the door to anyone that you don't know and trust.
•	Never go anywhere with someone you don't know and trust.
•	If someone tries to abuse you, say no, get away, and tell a trusted adult. Remember, it's not the victim's fault.
•	Don't use alcohol or other drugs, and stay away from places and people associated with them.
•	Stick with friends who are also against violence and drugs, and stay away from known trouble spots.
•	Get involved to make school safer and better-having poster contests against violence, holding anti-drug rallies, counseling peers, settling disputes peacefully. If there's no program, help start one.
•	Help younger children learn to avoid being crime victims. Set a good example, and volunteer to help with community efforts to stop crime.

There are some really cool D.A.R.E. cars.

This is the dare officer that I get to see. He's nice, and he loves us kids.
 

DID YOU KNOW?  

 

•	Smoking accounts for one-third of all heart disease deaths?
•	The two most damaging chemicals found in cigarettes are tar and nicotine? The major cancer-causing chemical in tobacco smoke is tar, and nicotine is as addictive as heroin or cocaine.
•	The risk of developing cancer is 10 times greater for smokers than for nonsmokers. That's what you call a bad risk!
•	Smoking causes 85 percent of all lung cancer deaths, and lung cancer is the No. 1 killer in women?
•	People who smoke one pack of cigarettes a day decrease their life expectancy by about six years?
•	Tobacco companies spend over $3 billion every year on advertisements that glamorize smoking?
•	Smoking hurts your lungs and can cause respiratory conditions such as emphysema, bronchitis, chronic coughs, and a sore throat. Smoking makes it hard for a person to breathe.
•	Tobacco companies need to recruit 1,200 new smokers every day to replace those who have died.

Yeah, we're suppose to be near or in the 70s by Friday. I really must get as much work done as possible so I can get outside the next few days!

Nice good morning graphic. Thanks

I heard you are getting rain as well?

Have you gotten the new SK book, Cell?

[MEG33]

Indeed!

I thought this flag was surely in California..The time I saw the seed co fields of flowers around Lompoc it took my breath away..Here's the article that tells about the flag. It was in Lompoc.

Nope, he never did.
He was in an accident a few years back and had to take time off.
That was the extent of his retirement. ;o)

Oohhh I hope the back feels better. I have heard people say that their muscles were a bit sore after a deep tissue massage.

I am just hanging out and cleaning a bit- we have gotten all of the school work done and dinner is preping in the fridge.

I am on week number three of a nasty sinus infection ,which ebbs and flows. I was in the hospital for a bit- Last night was horrible- today- not so bad.

Good news is that it has worked wonders for my summer swim suit diet. I have lost 12 pounds this month, without really tryin. (hehe) That is my kind of diet!

[Diva Betsy Ross]

BTW- next year I think you should try extreme beach bumming for your Birthday!

[Diva Betsy Ross]
