County K-9 unit demonstrates how drugs, bombs are found.
Fifth-graders from A.P. Terhune Elementary School received certificates Friday at a D.A.R.E. graduation ceremony. D.A.R.E. stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education.

Psychologist speaks at high schools about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse.
Laugh at a joke. Take up long-distance running. Love someone — a boyfriend, girlfriend, mother, or grandfather. Do anything. Just don’t take drugs. Matt Bellace spoke to Wayne high school students Tuesday about the need for children to experience a natural high. The same type of chemical reaction that comes from smoking marijuana or snorting cocaine can be achieved by running for 45 minutes, loving someone, or laughing. Drugs rob students of their innocence and cause them to make unwise decisions, Bellace said. “You’ll never hear anyone say anything intelligent after: ‘Man, I was so wasted last night’,” Bellace said. Bellace spoke at Wayne Hills, Wayne Valley, and DePaul Catholic high schools. Bellace is a clinical neurological …
