Info line for drugs on bad budget trip
By BRENT ANDERSON

The future of Dial-a-Drug, a project designed to provide information about drug interactions.
Bing Hart, pharmacology consultant and Diala-a-Drug director, said the Diala-a-Drug information line might have to be discontinued because of a lack of funds.
By dialing 841-DRUG, a caller can listen to a recorded message about the quantity, price, availability and quality of various drugs sold on the street.
The drug information line was started in April and was sponsored by the Douglas County Drug Abuse Council. The Drug Abuse Council is a non-profit Dial-a-Drug program for three months.
Citing "organizational and operational problems" encountered during the current project period, the council disbanded July 18 and the future of the Dial-a-Drug project has been uncertain since that time, according to Hart.
However, before the Drug Abuse Council disbanded, an interim committee was established to study the operation of the Department and report to the Douglas County Commission.
Hart said the interim committee completed the report on Dial-a-Drug, which was submitted to the county commission by the county mayor and other coordinator for the Drus Abuse Council.
The Douglas County Commission has since reorganized the Drug Abuse Council and appointed Randy Schwering, Endora student, as coordinator for the council.
Hart is acting as a voluntary consultant for the project with other volunteers, including Jim Dillard, Springfield, Mo., and Beverly Couch, Overland Park senior.
Hart said the prospects for obtaining more money had improved since the Drug Abuse Council disbanded in July, but that no specific sources had been established.
Miryam Kay, a member of the Drug Abuse Council, said the Dial-a-Drug project was extremely beneficial to the community as many educational and practical benefits.
"We are going to seek donations from various organizations like fraternities and sororites as well as private donations from the public." Hart said. "These donations will help us better serve our community, possibly help to improve the service and establish a better drug analysis program."
Kay, who served on the inter committee studying the Dial-a-Drug project, said there were two main areas the committee studied; the feasibility of main drug Drugg program and the possibility of reestablishing a local drug analysis program.
Hart said the Dial-a-Drug project would probably have more success finding money if it were to be endorsed by the reorganized Drug Abuse Council, but it wouldn't be absolutely necessary for the council to provide funds for the Dial-a-Drug project.
In a report to the Drug Abuse Council submitted June 12, David Berkowitz, county attorney; John Summers, Baldwin High School principal; Baldwin teacher, said the Dial-a-Drug project provided "significant data as to patterns of drug usage" and "some benefits in terms of availability of particular types that may have been gained by this project."
"We want to abusel drug abuse, not drug use," Bing said of the Dial-a-Drug project. "We believe in helping people, not law enforcement. People should be protected."
