Michigan student leads effort against drug abuse

HOWELL, Michigan - As Michigan's representative on the national Drug Abuse Resistance Education Youth Advisory Board, Ashley Hoorn-stra will pilot a new Peer Plus mentorship program in the state.

The 16-year-old Howell High School junior presented her plans to the school board last month in preparation for the program kickoff Jan. 26 at the district's Highlander Way Middle School.

Twenty-five Highlander Way eighth-graders will be paired with 25 high school student mentors for six weekly after-school meetings to introduce the younger students to high school clubs and activities.

"The DARE program has two purposes," Ashley said. "It is an introduction to the harmful effects drugs have on their bodies, but DARE is also about giving students opportunities to help them avoid drugs.

"Peer Plus will introduce them to drug-free opportunities they will have in high school, and it will surround them with mentors in the high school who are drug free."

Teachers will recommend students they believe will benefit from the program, Ashley said.

Mentors will include the dozen high school role models already working in the elementary DARE program. Their ranks will be augmented by new mentors recommended by teachers.

Each of the weekly sessions will feature a different aspect of high school life.

On Punk Day, school bands will perform and meet with the middle-schoolers. Ashley also has planned Sports Day, Drama Day, Music Day, Academic Day and a grand finale.

Ashley was inspired to organize the Peer Plus pilot at Howell after spending a weekend in September at the Drug Enforcement Administration training academy in Quantico, Va. One of the workshops she attended presented ideas for a high school-middle school mentorship program.

She came up with her plan for the Howell Peer Plus program after consulting with her school principal, Marge Hamill; Highlander Way Principal Ann Anderson; and counselors Diana Houser and Cathy Literski.

"Anytime you can bring a program into the school where middle-schoolers can identify with positive role models and interact with high school students who are being productive in the community, those are the kinds of things kids need to have an investment in their school career," Literski said.

"There's a correlation between kids who do well in school and those who participate in extracurricular activities."

Ashley works closely with and is counseled by Howell Police Department Officer Ken Taylor, who works 75 percent of his time on the DARE program in Howell Public Schools. Taylor will be an adult mentor for the Peer Plus program.

And Taylor will begin a DARE program for seventh-graders this semester at Three Fires Middle School.

He will teach the new seventh-grade program in addition to the 10-week program he presents to all 700 fifth graders who attend elementary school in the district.

The DARE program began in 1983 in the Los Angeles Police Department as a way to combat drug use among schoolchildren.

In the mid- and late 1990s, the program came under fire.

Research published by the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, the Journal of Alcohol and Drug Education and other sources, including a 1999 University of Kentucky study funded by the National Institutes of Health, reported that elementary students who participated in DARE training were no less likely to take drugs than students with no training.

The city of Lansing eliminated its DARE program after last school year in an attempt to balance the cash-strapped budget.

Taylor said that DARE is extremely strong in Livingston County. Officers from the Sheriff's Department work with other districts in the county.
