Schools Actor takes to to tackle PT high school stage substance problems Intervention staff will be added in PA BY JAMES CASEY PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — The long-term strategy: “build an arsenal” in the battle against drug abuse by students. The short-term tactics: reinforce the frontline forces. To that end, the Port Angeles School District will hire two full-time drug and alcohol intervention specialists, one each at Stevens Middle School and Port Angeles High School. “How can we regiment Jackson ourselves, build up an arsenal, so we know our families can get help?” asked Marc Jackson, school superintendent. “We’ve got families that are upside-down,” he said Thursday. “We need a jolt in the arm to help deal with these issues.” He said he hoped the counselors would be doing their jobs by October.

Addicted parents

Jackson said the primary problem isn’t students’ using drugs — although that occurs — but families in which parents are addicted. Like the drug problem, the solution won’t be found only in the schools. “It’s not just a school issue,” Jackson said. “It‘s a social issue. “We’ll rely heavily on our outside contacts to resolve some of these outside issues. “We’ve got to reach out to our community, and we’ve got to talk to our parents to find a way we become better at doing this.”
PORT TOWNSEND — Actor Beau Bridges compared success in sports to achievements in acting and life while addressing Port Townsend High School students. Bridges began his 45-minute presentation Friday by quoting his college coach, famed UCLA coach John Wooden. “He always told us to be quick but don’t hurry, and make every day your masterpiece,” Bridges said.

“He told us that success had nothing to do with winning; it was about peace of mind, which you find by leaving the task and knowing that you have done your very best.”
Actor since 7 years old Bridges, 73, has worked since he was 7 years old in film, on television and on stage. He has 191 acting credits listed on the Internet Movie Database. Among his awards are Golden Globes in 1992 and 1994; Emmys in 1992, 1993
and 1997; and a Grammy for the audiobook An Inconvenient Truth in 2009. Bridges addressed about 350 students packed into the high school auditorium, speaking about acting, education, history, family and appearing on “Saturday Night Live.” Bridges was interviewed onstage by film critic Robert Horton and introduced by retired actor and Port Townsend resident John Considine, with whom he worked in the 1960s.
