GRANTS TO HELP FIGHT SUBSTANCE ABUSE

Several public schools in western Wisconsin will  receive state money
this month to fund alcohol and  other drug abuse programs.

Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau schools received $50,000 for  its program.
The district will use the money to teach  staff and students about
alcohol and drug abuse, said  Sandy Nelson, bookkeeper and office
manager. It also  brings in speakers, hosts tutors and various
programming throughout the year.

The district has been receiving this aid -- for which  it must apply
each year -- since the 2002-03 school  year.

Alma and Arcadia received grants for tobacco control  programs in
their schools. Alma received $5,000.

Arcadia, in a group with Holmen and White-hall schools,  received
$15,000.

They are among 25 Wisconsin districts that have been  awarded grants
for the tobacco program.
