Anti-drug D.A.R.E. effort began at sheriff's office

McCOOK, Neb. -- Also in the 1990s, Sheriff Gene Mahon took another approach to the growing drug problem -- that of prevention -- by implementing D.A.R.E. classes in Red Willow County. Encouraging life slogans like "Dare to dream," "Dare to believe" and "Dare to achieve" are outside the grasp of even the strongest child or teen if he or she is in the choke-hold of drugs and alcohol and other negative pressures in their young lives. That's where D.A.R.E. comes in.
