There is no one program that can cure all. Drug education and resistance is a community effort. To see the damaging results of drug use and the abuse, you anly have to look as far as out neighbors in Rutland. The police determined that their drug use and abuse was directly related to the killings, one of which also involved a random kidnapping. We need to be more involved as an entire community in educating our children.
Substance abuse reaches the rich as well as the poor.
Let us not forget our obligation as good community members to reach your hand out and help those that need it. This is a national program that promotes seat belt and child safety seat use. In Vermont all children under the age of 5 have to be in a federally approved safety seat. Children between the ages of 5 and 13 must be buckled up. The Winhall Police Department operates random seat belt checkpoints and also an educational booth at the Bondville Fair promoting this initiative.
