LVi diocK fsv Original Prices High school faculty learns about People who take drugs, legally or otherwise, often are dangerously ignorant about the impact those drugs have on their bodies. That was the focal point of a talk given to members of the high school faculty Friday by Bob Pingree of the Park City Prevention Center. Cen-ter. Pingree was invited to the school by Principal Jack Dozier to discuss ways to handle drug abuse among high school students. But Pingree didn't confine his remarks to the use of illegal drugs, or to the problem of abuse among students alone. "It's really apparent that most people don't know much about the medications that are being prescribed for them," Pingree said during a discussion about the use of Valium. He warned the teachers that some students who appear to be "stoned" at school may in fact have been given a dose of a prescription prescrip-tion drug intended for an adult. "The problem is that junior may weigh about 70 pounds less than dad. But dad doesn't realize the difference, because he's not educated about it. Pingree said he had been asked to burn some marijuana mari-juana so the teachers would be able to recognize the smell. "But I couldn't find a legal source so I didn't want to go that route." However, he had another suggestion for those unfamiliar unfami-liar with the smell. "Go up underneath the Thaynes lift, about halfway down, open up your nostrils and breathe deep. "That's how prevalent it is in society. ..It's a middle-class middle-class drug. It's almost on a parallel plane with alcohol in terms of usage." Pingree said that most street drugs, unlike the prescription varieties, are rarely pure. He blamed poisons such as strychnine for producing most of the harmful side effects. . "You've got people who are taking stuff that was never intended to be put in their bodies. I don't like the idea of kids putting Johnson's John-son's Baby Powder in their stomachs. I don't like the u is m ST I 1 1 1, jMMh, WW rit, am idea of kids putting strychnine strych-nine in their stomachs. "The kids don't have the information to know what's happening to them. Most kids don't take the time to read pamphlets on what they're eating." He warned the teachers not to take an antagonistic posture toward someone experiencing a drug overdose. over-dose. "If you've got some strong biases against drug usage, my advice is, go get someone who doesn't. If you've got some kid who's hallucinating on PCP, he's going to pick up your vibes in a minute." Pingree's strongest warning warn-ing was reserved for the use of depressants, especially when used in conjunction with alcohol. "The thing you've got to worry about with them is an overdose that really could kill the kid. If you take 100 milligrams of Valium and half a fifth of booze, sorry folks, you're going to be dead." He recommended that teachers confront those who they believe are using drugs, but not to alienate them in the process. "What I would recommend is a real hard-line approach. Come from a real straightforward straight-forward place: 'I suspect you are using drugs, and if you are not, I suspect that with your attitude, one day you might.' "Let them know that you're receptive to talking. Let them know you're human. Let them know where your biases are." Dozier pointed out that the school administration must walk a fine line in trying not to alienate the students and keeping the drugs out of the school at the same time. "What you say has a lot of merit," he told Pingree. "Unfortunately, our stance has been: 'If you do it and we catch you doing it, we're going to drop the building on you'." Also present at the Friday morning seminar were Park City Police Chief Michael Crowley and Sergeant Joe Offret, who gave the teachers teach-ers a brief course on the types of drugs and drug paraphernalia which now are making the rounds. !l Ski the new Snowbird chairlifts-Mid-Gad, extended Gad I and Little Cloud. mORE LIFTS . . .
