Speaker brings up interesting point

For the Feb. 27 edition of the Rep, I wrote a story about the Smart Youth Power Assembly by Norbert Georget, who I thought was a great speaker with lots of interesting information.

The main focus in his evening presentation for families was a parents role in their child using or not using drugs.

I agreed 100 per cent with him that parents play a major role in what a child does when they are with their friends.

I have never heard of a city or town that doesnt have a problem with drinking or drugs, so I think it would be interesting to find out how people think addiction start.

Go to the Rep's website and scroll down to our weekly poll. Our question for the week is What do you think is the biggest influence in a person's decision to use drugs or alcohol?

And make sure you check out the results in the March 6 edition of the Rep!
