positive attitudes and behavior.
Through role-playing and other ex
ercises. it teaches students not just
refuse drugs, but tow to do so.
This year the semester-long pro
gram has already been conducted at
the three schools listed above. Dur
ing the spring term, Hewett's pro
gram is in fifth grade classes at
South port Elementary and Leiand

completed the training, which has
been incorporated as part of the
school system's full K-12 substance
abuse education program.
The D.A.R.E. officer also visits
lower grade classrooms as part of
the program.
"I fed like for the first time r.
my law enforcement career that I
am making a difference," Hewett
told the Brunswick County Board of
Education last week in his progress
report. "This program is working."
Hewett has submitted a budget
proposal for the upcoming 1991-91
school year in which he requests
$7,500, or an average cost of S10.77
per student. The funds would be
used to purchase a D.A.R.E. shirt
for each student, promotional mate
rials, frames for their diplomas and
supplies for the graduation pro
grams.
Hewett's salary, car and gas are
provided by the sheriff's depart
ment.
