Tell it like it really is sex drug abuser urges the recent increase in Public awareness As to the effects of drug abuse has prompted me to write this letter. I am one of the main targets for Public service announcements concerning drug abuse and 1 can Tell those Well intentioned people who create them that the Way they try to scare us away Tram illegal substances does t wort. It seems like they think they can keep us from using drugs by telling us How Many people die each year from drug related causes and How harmful drugs arc to the human body. Let me be the first to Tel you thai the very last thing teen agers think about is dying Young people think they will live forever. Teen agers cannot relate to death. Instead of warn ing us ail you arc doing is turning sort. So Oliai will work try to hit closer to Home some thing that All teen agers can relate to. How about Tell ing them drugs can affect their personal appearance yes this is True. Using some drugs for Long periods of time can rapidly age one s face leaving behind dark circles under the eyes swollen eyes a red irritated nose and wrinkles. Why Don t you Tell teen agers what happens before they die using drugs can produce massive fatigue loss of memory greater susceptibility to colds loss of hair and a Basic Overall feel i no of being really old. This does t even begin to include the problems of the abuser while he is using drugs. This is a list of the probe Unis one can face after Tang overcome one s addiction. Where did i gel All of these facts no not from any Book bul from everybody s worst enemy experience. Contrary to Papular belief these effects arc not temporary. They arc permanent. Imagine going through the rest of your i if not being Able to remember entire weeks of your youth and reeling us though you have aged 20 years in two weeks. Besides this you must Wear the damaging results of drug abuse flashing like a Neon sign from your face. F sure wish someone had told me All of this two or three years ago. Then maybe i would t have had to suffer All of the embarrassment and humiliation of watching my body turn to Mush and of knowing that i can never regain All that i have lost. 1 cannot even begin to describe the emotional trauma that also must be dealt with. I wonder what it will be like to live with throughout my whole lift. After All i m Only 17. Name and location withheld treasurer Dwyer was innocent Niece says you May have heard of r. Budd Dwyer slate trea surer of Pennsylvania who publicly committed suicide in his own press conference on Jan. 22. He was my Uncle and As Many people have now realized he was innocent framed by dishonest men who wanted to Sec him go to prison. The Only evidence was a convicted Man who plea bargained which is saying what the government wants you to say to entrap someone else for a lesser sen Tenet. This should not be allowed. The whole Justice system has gone Down inc tubes. My Uncle worked for his stale for 23 years and he could not believe he could be declared guilty when he was locally innocent. Not one piece of hard evidence was shown just a witness who sobbed a would do or say anything to save myself and my  i was in the courtroom and heard this yet it was t on the court transcript. For 2 a years my Uncle a everything he worked for slowly being pulled away from him. Every door was slammed in his face. No one wanted to hear his Story even though he was thought of As i he Best treasurer Pennsylvania has Ever had. My Uncle s act was not a selfish one. He did not die for himself. He died for his country he loved so much and for his family. He wanted his Story to be old so other innocent men would not be unjustly convicted. Nobody would listen when he was alive but maybe now they will we can Only Pray. Though i wish Uncle Budd could have found some other Way to get his Story across he saw no other Way. And after 1120,000 in Legal fees he could t afford appeals. He s in heaven now and finally at peace. His family and friends loved him so much and i wish he was still with us. But i m very proud of him. It took a Brave Man to do what he did. 1 just Hope what he wanted to see happen will. A corruption free Justice system. I Hope what he did is not in vain. 1 will never forget him.

Her shy a 17033 Cindy Kun Kapanna As Germany arc ski prices noted Reader suggests Salt Shaker approach congratulations on the informative article about skiing under he floodlights in the Nuernberg area. Nuernberg Bureau chief Tony no Roth did a Good Job of accompanying folks and documenting the fun and convenience of Kiing close to  night skiing for Only s10 really is a bargain. However. Nauroth paraphrased Jill Mcclelland As slating that Hump Day ski trips arc designed for people who might not want to spend several Hundred dollars during a full ski week Al arc Bavaria. Although arc ski action is impractical for one evening of skiing for people living near Nuernberg our ski weeks do not Cost several Hundred dollars. For example downhill ski weeks Start As Low As $89 for adults and $79 for youths. This includes professional instruction lift tickets Access to dozens of Mountain ski slopes transportation during the program ban Quets evening activities awards and Phuros. Lodging is available for As Low As  per night. Full ski week packages including meals Start Al $ i89. Weekend skiing is available for As Low Ai $03 for adults and $54 for youths and includes lodging break fast and dinner coupons eight hours of instruction and iwo All Day lift passes. As you can Sec skiing at arc is a lot less expensive than the several Hundred dollars alluded to in the article. Harry l. Connors or. Public affairs director arc Bavaria in his article about misuse of the apostrophe. James Kilpatrick made a Case for its abandonment. Being a texan 1 am somewhat an authority on the problem every Honkey Tonk in the state has a sign that reads hat s off while dancing. T disagree with or Kilpatrick s proposed solution on grounds that writers of the English language seem to like the apostrophe. Relatively few errors involve the neglect of in and it occurs to me that in this respect the apostrophe is in the same category As the comma Many authors apparently feet hat Liberal use lends respectability a their work. It has Long been my Contention that he Soulian to mis use of the comma is to abandon Alt Rule and give everyone a Salt Shaker full of them. Depending on the number of coordinating conjunctions one or two shakes would be sufficient to punctuate a single Page opus. This would also solve the apostrophe question since Odds Are thai half of the commas would land upside Down Neil Krans Bitsui a German pen pal Baas till Mlo four per pit column.
