By CATHY DANIELS Special to the Sun First, second and third graders at Knoles Elementary School recently presented a Just Say No concert to help other students lcam to control the influences and pressures that can lead to drug and alcohol use. More than 70 members of the Knoles Knights Just Say No Club sang songs from the Officer McGruff Drug Prevention album, including Smart Kids, Ill Say No, Make Your Body Last and Im Glad Im Me. Twelve sixth graders from the Achievement of Success Through Responsible of Self (ASTROS) program performed skits about shoplifting, smoking and dealing with strangers. Faith Bonitz, Summer Belden and Sara Nosker shared their prize-winning essays on Why Drugs Are Wrong. The Just Say No Club was started in 1988 by second grade teacher Valerie Fairchild.

It meets Riordan State Historic Park will be the scene of a major landscaping effort for the next month or two. Alpine Garden Club has been working with John Marvin, park manager, and his staff for the past two years to beautify the park. In 1988, oak barrels filled with colorful annual plants were placed along the path from the parking lot to the Visitors Center. A garden, complete with a drip irrigation system, was put in last year in the front yard of die Riordan Mansion and planted with perennial flowers used when the Riordan families were in residence at the turn of the century. The emphasis this year is on the area between the Visitors Center and the rear of the mansion, which presently just consists of cinders.

After the soil is tilled and a drip irrigation system installed, plantings of evergreens, shrubs, turf and flowers will be put in to enhance the view for the thousands of tourists and Flagstaff groups who visit the park yearly. The landscaping will be low-water usage. Wayne Hite, executive director of the Arboretum at Flagstaff, has con Thursdays at lunchtime. During club time, the members learn how to exert positive peer pressure, refusal skills and how to react to inappropriate behavior in others. Fairchild said she targeted students in the primary grades so they can learn to say no at an early age and be better able to handle the pressures they will face when they get older.

It is important they know they are not alone, she said, that there is a whole club full of people who say no. Parent volunteer Barbara Mason said it is particularly difficult for young children to deal with peer pressure. They need to build their selfesteem and to learn alternative ways to cope, she said. Flagstaff Schools Prevention Coordinator Viola Kelly said the Knoles Just Say No Club has inspired and assisted in the formation of a similar club at Kinsey School.
