I spoke to District 1 Judge John T. Mitchell and Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden on Saturday and described the March Against Meth event. Obviously both men recognize the epidemic proportions of the meth problem in America. More importantly they know too many of the individual stories in Idaho and the drastic effect it has on the life of the addict and their families. I can tell you that both men are thankful for the efforts made by individuals and communities to help educate and inform BEFORE people have their lives ruined and admire the efforts underway in Sandpoint.

I will see you at the event Krystal. Thanks for going public. I know you are a strong voice for your peers and may seem more genuine than an adult. We all ignore warnings during our lives and they usually come from those who love us. Parents that want us to look both ways before crossing, don’t chase the ball into the street, don’t leave the school grounds to help the nice man find his missing dog….etc. But I will tell you this Krystal - if you find out later in life that you helped just one person avoid this horrible addiction; you will have saved a life (in so many ways). Thanks for stepping up. I’m proud of you.

If we see any drugs dealed in a house or has suspicion about selling or making or doing Drugs - we as citizens can call anonymously and help the Police stop the Drug use here!

Hi Dan.
I am also a student from the LPO alternative high school. I just wanted to thank all of you for supporting us and trying to make idaho and this community better. I also know how badly meth use is in our town and yes it is here. I have done many drugs in my life and realize that it took over my life. I hope to see you all at the community hall and i hope i will be speaking there and letting all of you know my story.

well thank you so much for supporting our school. This does mean a whole lot to us. Thank you so much.

Dan and other interested,
Just listened to Laura Ingram show on the radio.
Rusty Fleming former drug addict, now filming a documentary called “Drugwars movie” -he is on a war with the Meth clans from Mexico and USA.
Very interesting - how he has tried for years to get the message “through” to politicians.
No one really can fathom the “real cost” for society in the loss of healthy lives of people, children and pets and Homes that are toxic for years after meth is smoked there.
Rusty started in his Teens, due to peer pressure, when he was 27 he was totally addicted, when he turned 32 he was getting food in the dumpsters. He was so fed up with his life/hellish life - then He met God and it is Thanks to this that he turned around.
I am so Thankful to LPO and the young ones in the school that stands up and Say No Not Even Once to drugs.
This will help us to get a healthier community and world!

Hi Marilyn … Awaiting Moderation means that the site was waiting for one of us to approve the comment. It’s a safeguard that we employ to prevent internet robots, spammers, or just mean-spirited people from placing strings of meaningless or obnoxious, or pornographic word strings in a comment. Normally we approve all comments within a few minutes and at most a few hours because we are notified via email when there is a comment waiting to be approved. Sorry about the delay.

I can’t really add those things you mentioned Margareta but most folks know to click on the bottom where it says to read the rest of the story and most know to toggle down for the comment box. I have sent it to the I.T. guys to see if they can add some instructions for the newbies. It’s a great point and a great idea.

Hi Dan,

The Teens at LPO is offering a powerful tool to help younger ones Not to start doing drugs or get their soda spiked just because someone wants to hook them on it or just doing a prank have fun (is this fun?! -Not!)

I don’t understand what “awaiting moderation” means.

Greetings–Dan, Margareta, LPO Students and Teachers,
I am so thankful that you are all working so diligently to keep the message going that Meth is a very dangerous substance. Your example and messages are so powerful to those who may be tempted or are not aware of the effects of Meth, other drugs and alcohol on anyone who gets involved. I’m planning to be there to support and march with you!
