Lenape Elementary
Students Now Part of
‘Drugs Kill Dreams’ Team...
(continued from page 1)
The drug prevention program is celebrating its 15th year
in Armstrong County schools, and Judge DeComo ‘drafted’
a few new star players for yesterday’s 15th anniversary presentation: including Frerotte and former Ford City and U.S.
Naval Academy baseball star Paul Lhote.
“We just moved back to Pittsburgh a few years ago, and
(this was) really the first opportunity I’ve had to do some
charity work – any time I can help (Judge DeComo) out and
come to my home, I want to be a part of it,” Frerotte said.
Even though it was also Lhote’s first ‘Drugs Kill Dreams’
event, he was honored to be a part of it.
“This is one of the best programs in Armstrong County –
it’s tough out there, and you need to have good leadership,
good people in the community. There’s nobody better than
Gary DeComo for these kids.”
Judge DeComo was inspired to create and name the program ‘Drugs Kill Dreams’ after looking closely at the winning Manor Township Lions drug prevention poster – drawn
by Lenape Elementary graduate Tara (Powers) Maruca.
Maruca – a 2008 Ford City graduate – is now a Life Skills
teacher for about two dozen students at Blairsville High
School.
“I didn’t think (her poster would inspire) something like
this – I hope (Judge DeComo) comes out to our school this
year,” Maruca said.
Maruca also received a football autographed by former
Pittsburgh Steeler Jack Lambert.
This year’s poster contest winners – including some from
Lenape Elementary, as well as other Armstrong schools were also recognized yesterday. Their drawings will be in
this year’s calendar.
Students who signed the youth pledge against using alcohol and other drugs were eligible to receive other Steelers,
Penguins and Pirates memorabilia during the assembly.
“If we increase prevention, we’ll decrease addiction and
crimes committed by people with an addiction,” Judge DeComo said. “I appreciate the support I get from the community – all these people came out not for me, but for the
program.”
Further good behavior and attendance is being encouraged with a raffle to win a football autographed by Pittsburgh Steelers star Wide Receiver Antonio Brown.
