Times staff report
On Thursday and Friday, the Platte Valley Community Center in Saratoga hosts Project Prevention’s fourth annual community conference.
A highlight this year is a planned panel discussion involving area high school students.
Panelists will be selected from people who submitted an answer to a recent essay contest in Carbon County School District 1 for students hoping to go to the 2009 Anti-Drug Coalitions of America conference in Washington, D.C. Carbon County School District 2 should also have some representatives.
The event includes presentations from Shanda Wright of Big Brothers Big Sisters and Diane Hipp of Wyoming Community Norms. Ben Atherton-Zeman will have a talk called Voices of Men on Thursday while on Sunday, Capt. Richard Fowler of the Carbon County Sheriff’s Office plans to speak about gangs. For parents worried about Internet safety, Jim Anderson is set to address the issue Friday.
The event is from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday. It resumes at 8:30 a.m. on Friday and finishes at 3:30 p.m. Project Prevention has arranged specially-priced hotel accommodations in the area.
For more information, call Theresa Pacheco at 328-3969 or 321-0686.
