Young people learn life skills through DARE program
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern
LANDSTUHL, Germany – Juggling red balloons symbolized life’s many challenges during graduation for a Drug Abuse Resistance Education program held recently at Wilson Barracks.
Fifth graders were helping Lt. Col. Lars Zetterstrom, commander of U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern, juggle several red balloons. A blue balloon was tossed in, representing drugs and alcohol, to show the difficulty of keeping life’s balloons aloft with an added impairment.
Spontaneously, Zetterstrom tapped the blue balloon to the floor and popped it with his desert-colored combat boot.
“I saw that it represented something bad,” Zetterstrom said. “Stomping it out was the right thing to do.”
Lessons like that are what the DARE program is about. Since 1983, DARE has taught millions of students worldwide about the effects of alcohol and drugs. Each April, "National DARE Day" is commemorated in the United States by a presidential proclamation, community events and activities.
In Kaiserslautern Military Community's fours elementary schools, students complete 10 lessons over several weeks, working from DARE planners.
Weekly lessons often include acting out skits on peer pressure and watching videos about the dangers of drugs and alcohol.
Landstuhl’s graduating class was the first for Army Sgt. Raymond Engstrom, 29, of Cottage Grove, Minn., a garrison military police officer. The thought of facing children in classrooms each week was daunting at first. Yet, Engstrom knew the importance of DARE discussions and began enjoying the classes.
“You learn to have fun with it,” Engstrom said. “They’re just young people. I always refrain from calling them kids or students. I’d say “people about your age.”
Over the past few months, Engstrom has developed significantly, said his supervisor, Sgt. 1st Class Adrian Rouse, the provost marshal operations sergeant.
“He’s ran with it,” Rouse said. “Now he’s very interactive with the kids, parents and school staff. And I think he enjoys it significantly.”
During the graduation, held at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center’s Heaton Auditorium, Zetterstrom said he was proud to see Army noncommissioned offer leading the DARE program
“We’re American living overseas. We want our children to have the best education possible,” Zetterstrom said. “Learning is not always about academics, it’s about life skills and that’s what DARE does.”

Every child who attended a public school from the late 1980's up until the present most likely knows both this mascot and this program in great detail. Most all students who have been in the public education system in the last fifteen years can remember the police officer who came to talk with them concerning the dangers of drug use. The authors of the article listed above go into great detail in thier research to discover the truth concerning the effectiveness and efficiency of the DARE program. What the authors discovered is that this program like so many before it was a utter disaster and in no manner correlated to any decrease in the number of youths experimenting with illegal substances. In fact, the creators of the DARE program launched a short-term evaluation of the program after only four weeks of operation and concluded that it produced very little, if any anti-drug effects among the participating youth.

DISNEY ON ICE PRESENTA MUNDOS FANTÁSTICOS
EL SHOW CONTARÁ CON LA PARTICIPACIÓN ESPECIAL DE “EL RAYO” MCQUEENY SU MEJOR AMIGO MATE DE CARS DE DISNEY Y PIXAR
Del 05 al 09 de febrero en el Palacio de los Deportes de la Ciudad de México ¡Disney On Ice presenta Mundos Fantásticos! ofrecerá un espectáculo sobre hielo lleno de acción con cuatro divertidas historias de Disney, y mostrará a los queridos personajes de CARS y TOY STORY 3, de Disney y Pixar, y de LA SIRENITA de Disney, junto a Mickey, Minnie, Donald y Goofy. Las estrellas de FROZEN de Disney también acompañarán a estos adorables personajes. Producido por Feld Entertainment, los boletos para Mundos Fantásticos para las funciones en el Palacio de los Deportes estarán disponibles en las taquillas del inmueble y el Sistema Ticketmaster a partir del próximo 2 de diciembre.
Los personajes de tamaño real de CARS de Disney y Pixar: “El Rayo” McQueen, Mate y sus amigos, llevarán sus personalidades de alto octanaje a la pista de hielo ambientada en Radiador Springs, a través de animatrónicos de alta tecnología hechos a la medida, cuyos ojos y bocas se mueven con cada vuelta sobre la autopista congelada. Mate se luce con graciosas ocurrencias mientras el resto de los personajes llegan al hielo con giros y mucha diversión.
“Mundos Fantásticos conecta las historias clásicas y nuevas de Disney”, dijo el Productor Kenneth Feld. “El público quedará impresionado en Radiador Springs al encontrarse con el inolvidable equipo de los carros animados, construidos a escala y en vivo sobre hielo. Verán sus historias favoritas de todos los tiempos como LA SIRENITA de Disney y TOY STORY 3 de Disney y Pixar, y descubrirán una historia llena de acción, magia e inolvidables personajes con FROZEN de Disney”.
El público entrará en el fantástico mundo de Arendelle con las hermanas de la realeza Anna y Elsa de la película animada ganadora al Premio de la Academia® FROZEN: UNA AVENTURA CONGELADA de Walt Disney Animation Studios. Anna, una chica con un corazón extraordinario, se embarca en un épico viaje con el divertidísimo muñeco de nieve Olaf y el fornido hombre de la montaña, Kristoff para encontrar a su hermana, la mágica Elsa, cuyos poderes han atrapado el reino de Arendelle en un eterno invierno.
“Nuestra recreación de Arendelle y el esplendor visual sobre el hielo proveen la ambientación perfecta para la mágica transformación del verano al invierno”, dijo la Productora Nicole Feld. “Si bien puede parecer obvio que FROZEN: UNA AVENTURA CONGELADA es ideal para el hielo, esta producción de Disney On Ice conmoverá al público a través de innovadores elementos del show y patinaje de clase mundial”.
Para producir Mundos Fantásticos, el dúo padre-hija Feld recurrió al talento de un increíble equipo creativo conformado por Jay Smith (Director), Patty Vincent (directora de las secciones TOY STORY 3 y FROZEN: UNA AVENTURA CONGELADA), Jerry Bilik (escritor/adaptador), la dos veces ganadora al premio Emmy®, Sarah Kawahara (Coreógrafa), Cindy Stuart (Coreógrafa – de las secciones TOY STORY 3 y FROZEN: UNA AVENTURA CONGELADA), Cynthia Nordstrom (Diseñadora de Vestuario), Scott Lane (Diseñador de Vestuario – sección TOY STORY 3), el nominado al Emmy®, Gregory A.

As Chernobyl Children International has worked in Chernobyl affected regions over the past 20 years, we’ve seen first hand the medical, economic and social devastation suffered by individuals, families and communities as a result of the disaster.
Our Community Care program provides at home care for severely disabled children. Many of these children were placed on waiting lists for orphanages and institutions by desperate parents who had no where else to turn. We provide professional services such as speech and language therapists, physical therapists, and psychologists.
Hospice Care programs, such as one might find in Ireland and the USA, are in very early stages of development in Belarus. Working in close collaboration with local organizations such as Gomel Hospice Care, our Hospice Care programme helps families care for their terminally ill children in the dignity and comfort of their own homes.
The children served by our Hospice and Community Care programmes are in urgent need of financial sponsorship.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxYouth@Hollywood, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxYouth@Hollywood event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
What is TEDxYouth@Hollywood ?
TEDxYouth@Hollywood is a day-long conference for Southern Californian youth aged 14-19. The event features inspiring people with mind, heart and spirit-expanding stories and ideas to share.
The theme of our inaugural event is JUMPING; as in, jumping into something new, exciting, fearful or inspirational. We are interested in igniting the imaginations of youth and the concept of jumping just for the fun of jumping!
Our presenters are a mix of youth, young adults and established professionals in their fields which run the gamut from entertainment to non-profit, education and business. As our theme promises, we will present a few surprises as well.

The old film camera seems very primitive compared to the modern digital cameras.
An empty box of slide film dated 2005 and an unopened box of HP5 dated 2014 prove testament to when the camera was last used.
Maybe one day....
