However, many fail to include Alcohol on their list of drugs to be avoided. Four youth from DaySpring Rehabilitation, have been touring the state stopping at schools and relating their experiences to students, and warning the young people to get away - and stay away from drugs. Travis Carrol, a Uintah High School student, began experimenting with drugs when he was about I 13 years old. He did it because was in life without a roadmap and I thoughtdrugs would help mecope, he recently told a group of students he was visiting. Not only did the drugs fail to help him cope, they brought him to the brink of suicide. Even then, he continued his use of drugs and alcohol because, I liked being high. There are periods of his life that he can not remember. It wasnt until I got sick and tired of being sick and tired, and of living so low that I finally checked myself into a rehab center, he said. Travis has now been clean from drugs - and sober from alcohol for 1 8 months - but he still must live from day to day for he knows that if I ever touch the stuff again, I can never go back. Travis believes that just like alcoholism, people are bom with a propensity to be addicted to drugs if they ever try them. I believe that I was bom with that disease, and at 13 I unleashed that beast in me. Some can take it or leave it. I couldnt. The only way to stop it from happening is to never start, he said. Travis says it almost cost him his life to learn the lesson - and he now wants to help others so that none of them will ever have to experience the horrible things that were the price of his drug abuse. Travis began stealing to support his habits - taking drugs is an expensive habit. I always told myself, If I ever get caught, Ill just kill myself. He did get caught. He did try to kill himself, with a 12 gaugeshotgun undcrhischin. When he pulled the trigger he would have blown his head off except that the safety was still on. He took off the safety, repositioned the gun, and again pulled the trigger, blowing off his chin and parts of his face. As I fell to the floor, I knew I wasnt dead - Hell doesnt have carpet, and I could see blood all over the place. Through the whole experience I really thought I was going to die. Travis said. The helicopter attendant flying him to LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City had been reluctant to fly him because he had a perfect six year record of no deaths enroute - he felt Travis wasnt going to make it and it would ruin his record. Months of operations, hospital care, and pain pills did little to change Travis. He convinced the nurses at the hospital that he was in terrible pain so they would give him -- KtefiflEO A more pain killers. He remained addicted to morphine after he left the hospital, and returned to alcohol use, now having to pour the alcohol into the tube that entered directly into his stomach, He wears a bandage fastened around his head in place of a bottom lip - the lower part of his face is missing. Finally, Through the Grace of God Travis made it and admitted he needed help. Travis says that Sometimes 1 have a hard time dealing with what I did - but now I know what to do with those feelings. It is possible for me to be happy today, if I choose to A straight jacket Death Four other students 15 and 16 years old told the students a similar story. They all had begun their course to near destruction with alcohol, then moved on to harder drugs. Mike started on alcohol at a party because he felt it made him fit in with the other kids - and was a way to become accepted. He got his kicks with everything from Robitussin and pain killers to the hallucinogenic LSD. He was great at fooling his parents. When they asked him to stop, he merely cut his hair and took out his earring - and they bought the whole thing - for a while. They finally entered Mike into the rehab program at DaySpring. Mike now realizes that he has ruined his chance at any sports among other things by using drugs. Rick started with cigarettes in fourth grade; moved to alcohol in 5th; and then on to using LSD more than 150 times. Since LSD tends to bum out the brain, Rick will be battling the urge and the consequences of his drug use for the rest of his life. Travis said that during his Sophomore year he flunked everything except art because I didnt care. Since hisjunior year when he went into rehabilitation, he has held a 3.5 average or better. His emotional turnaround is hard to describe, Travis says, but My mind was out to kill me, the drugs did that, and Im sure the drugs have a lot to do with the way my mind is today - the screwed up part. He concluded by saying that there are three results of the diseases of alcoholism and drug addiction if not Eastman Kodak honors LDS Church for leadership in microfilming efforts Eastman Kodak Company has honored The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints for 50 years of leadership in microfilming. At a ceremony in the Church Office Building, Kay Whitmore, Kodak president presented an engraved plaque to Elder Boyd K. Packer, a member of the Churchs Council of the Twelve, and chairman of the Temple and Family History Executive Council. We recognize theChurch for its contributions, advancement and leadership in the field of micrographics, Whitmore said. Elder Packer said that the Churchs microfilming program is used to perform vicarious religious ordinances for the deceased. The ordinances are performed in Temples of the Church, and provide an opportunity for eternal family relationships. Packer mentioned. The Church began microfilming in 1938 and shot 12 rolls of film that year. Those 12 rolls have grown to more than 1.6 million today and the Church is adding 100 million exposures every year. Over the years, die Church has microfilmed in more than 100 countries, and there are 200 operating in more than 40 countries, according to Richard Ebert, of the Churchs Family History DepartmenL These records are available to researchers, not only at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, but at 1,400 local family history centers around the world. Present at the ceremony were other Church officials and representatives of the Kodak organization. American Heart Association never interacted with her family, and now regrets that she missed out on that time of family fun. DaySpring provides rehabilitation, but most of the patients live with the family of another youth further in the program, off campus. Merv Taylor, a lieutenant for the Department of Public Safety is an undercover cop. Alcohol is the most abused drug in society today, and the most addicting, Taylor said. Advertisers create the illusion that the use of alcohol is essential for the good life. The commercials never show the broken bones, the ruined lives, the horror stories that go with the abuse. They never show the tragic side lived by the 6.5 million alcoholics in America, Taylor noted. Marijuana, a drug many are seeking to legalize - slows down all body responses, physical through It also emotional, Taylor said. hinders the bodys ability to heal itself. The potency of one marijuana joint is equal to 1 12 cigarettes. Effects of the drugs remain in the syshe added. tem indefinitely, Cocaine has been around for a long time, but only in recent years has attracted attention as its use has become epidemic. Taylor said that once cocaine was an ingredient in Coca Cola - coca is the plant from which cocaine is processed. One gram of cocaine sells on the street for $120 or $170. Dealers buy it by the pound and most often extend one pound to six by adding sugar, vitamin C, boric acid and other more toxic substances. ..The dealer on the street doesn t care what you get - all he wants . is your money, Taylor emphasized.-- old, totaled 57,000 head, up 5,000 from last year, while ram and wether lambs totaled 6,000 head.
