RALEIGH — The aromas of wood smoke and pork fat beckoned as people lined up Saturday along Raleighs East Davie Street to take part in the 75th anniversary celebration of Clyde Coopers Barbeque restaurant.
The states oldest surviving barbecue restaurant opened New Years Day in 1938. The current owners, Debbie and Randy Holt, threw a party in an empty lot next door to celebrate the milestone.
You know when you invite people to your party, you dont know if theyre going to come, said Debbie Holt from the stage during a short ceremony. Looking out at the crowd of thousands, Holt said, Im going to cry.
Saturdays event began at 11 a.m. with about 10 pit masters from across the state serving up cue for an informal competition. A $5 entrance fee got patrons all the pork they could eat and a chance to vote for their favorite. Proceeds were donated to the SPCA of Wake County.
Among the cooks was Sam Jones, a third-generation pit master and owner of The Skylight Inn in Ayden. Jones got to know the Holts when he competed last year on BBQ Pitmasters, a television show on Destination America. Despite being competitors, Jones said, Within 2 hours of being there, we were the best of friends.
And so when the Holts asked him to come to Saturdays event, Jones arrived Friday afternoon to start cooking.
Despite providing a dozen 120-pound hogs and 500 pounds of shoulders, the pit masters ran out of food by about 1 p.m., and the restaurant had to start sending out trays of chopped pork to serve the expectant crowds.
Shortly before 2 p.m., amateur pit master Cleve Folger of Cary, a friend of the Holts who agreed to cook for the event, was dishing up Coopers chopped cue to a crowd that he was shocked to see had grown so large. We had no idea, Folger said. Its just been incredible.
Randy Holt thought they would go through about 5,000 pounds of barbecue before the day was done.
The Holts are only the restaurants third owners. Debbie Holt got to know Clyde Cooper before he died in 1998.
Clyde Cooper, the son of a Wake County dairy farmer, borrowed $2,000 from an older brother to buy the barbecue restaurant in late 1937. When he opened it, a sandwich cost 15 cents and a plate cost 40 cents. (Today, a sandwich costs $3.25 and a plate costs $6.50.)
Cooper was known as a friendly gentleman who manned the restaurants cash register and often joked with his customers. He talked more junk than a $2 radio, Debbie Holt said.
Cooper also was good to his employees, sharing profits at the end of the year and taking them on trips to the beach.
Cooper retired from managing the restaurant in 1981, and a son-in-law took over. Seven years later, Cooper sold the business and the building to a father-and-son team, Alvin and Tony Moore. Thats when Debbie Holt worked at Coopers for five years in the early 1990s and met the restaurants namesake who came back to eat regularly. Debbie and her husband Randy bought the restaurant five years ago from Tony Moore.
The couple will have to move the restaurant when developers start building an apartment complex on their block of East Davie Street. But they plan to reopen and take much of the restaurants decor to the new location, including the wooden booths and a neon-pink pig clock.
Keeping Coopers as it always was has been the Holts business plan. Debbie Holt makes a point of telling longtime customers that she returned the recipes to the originals based on conversations she had with Cooper years ago.
At least one loyal customer told Debbie Holt on Saturday that he could tell the difference.
I noticed a change in the Brunswick stew when you all took over, said John Mitchell of Raleigh, who said Coopers is the best hes ever eaten.
Sharing nothing, Debbie Holt replied: If I was to tell you the secret to the Brunswick stew, it would blow your mind.
Likely the restaurants most loyal customer is Wesley Williams, 92, who has eaten there once a week since it opened 75 years ago, except for three years during World War II when he served in the military. The restaurant with its wooden booths and black-and-white photographs on the walls looks pretty much the same as when Williams started eating there. Thats part of its charm for Williams.
A barbecue place is supposed to be rustic, Williams said. It hasnt changed in years. Thats good.
Debbie Holt said Williams, who served as executive director of the Greater Raleigh Merchants Association for 50 years, has spent the last three years planning Saturdays celebration. I think its a treasure, he said. Any small business that survives for 75 years, it calls for a celebration.
Among those celebrating Saturday was Clyde Coopers daughter, Joyce Strother. She had come to see the celebration and at a booth inside the restaurant sat down to enjoy her menu favorites: a barbecue sandwich and those skins, referring to the deep fried pork skins.
Asked what her father would think about his restaurants survival and Saturdays party, she said, Hed be overwhelmed.

Burr Ridge Police Chief John Madden announced Monday the arrest of an Oak Lawn man charged with residential burglary and aggravated battery of a police officer, according to a Burr Ridge Police Department release sent Monday morning.
Kenneth Jackson, 53, whose last known address is in the 9800 block of south Keeler Avenue, Oak Lawn, was taken into custody at 3:45 a.m. Friday near the intersection of 57th and Elm streets in Hinsdale, where he was located on foot.
Subscribe to the Oak Lawn Patch newsletter and breaking news alerts.
"Jackson was under surveillance as a possible suspect in earlier burglaries," Burr Ridge Deputy Chief Tim Vaclav said in an email Monday.
A warranted search of Jackson's home Saturday night turned up evidence from a May 22 burglary in the 0-10 block of Shiloh Court, where a money clip and watch went missing after the home was entered via an unlocked patio door.
READ: Details on the May 22 burglary when it occurred.
Jackson resisted arrest Friday morning and a short foot chase resulted in minor injuries to a Burr Ridge officer, police said.
The Oak Lawn man was charged with residential burglary, a Class 1 felony, aggravated battery to a police officer, a Class 2 felony, possession of stolen property, a Class 3 felony, and resisting a peace officer, a Class A misdemeanor.
Vaclav said Jackson has two prior burglary convictions.
Follow Oak Lawn Patch on Facebook.
"When taken into custody, Jackson was in possession of several items that the Burr Ridge and Hinsdale Police believe are stolen," the release reads. "The departments are seeking assistance in identifying jewelry and flatware that may have been taken from homes during the last week."
Jackson was transported to DuPage County Jail to await a bond hearing after he was processed at the Burr Ridge Police Department.
"The arrest of Jackson is the result of a long investigation where Burr Ridge detectives worked closely with outside agencies, including the Hinsdale Police Department, the Orland Park Police Department, the Oak Lawn Police Department, and the Highland Park Police Department to identify Jackson," the Burr Ridge release reads.

Going Home: Manatee Returns to Natural Habitat After WDW Rehab (UPDATE: Video)
As part of the Manatee Rehabilitation Partnership (MRP), Disney's Animal Programs team helps to take final measurements and readings Feb. 24, 2009 as they prepare to release a manatee into his natural habitat at Blue Springs State Park in Orange City, Fla. The manatee, named "Bock," was released Tuesday into the warm waters of the St. John's River. The manatee, rescued as an orphan from the St. John's River in 2001, arrived at Epcot in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. in 2003 weighing about 500 pounds. At Epcot, marine mammal experts weaned him from a bottle and began feeding him a diet of romaine lettuce, fruits and other vegetables. "Bock" now weighs more than 1,000 pounds and is approximately eight years old. Prior to his release, he was fitted with a satellite tracking belt to follow his movements and allow for behavioral observation. His progress will be monitored by the MRP in which Disney's Animal Programs has been involved since 2001 when the partnership was established. The MRP is a cooperative group of nonprofit, private, state and federal entities that monitors the health and survival of rehabilitated and released manatees.

Jenny McCarthy Head Over Heels With Macho 'Man's Man' Brian Urlacher

Jenny McCarthy apparently loves the smell of testosterone in the morning. The bubbly blonde "has really fallen for" Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, a confidant tells the Chicago Sun-Times.
The reason she's so smitten?
"He's such a man's man, the most macho guy Jenny's dated or been involved with for a long, long time," says the source.
Seems McCarthy, 39, who was linked to several non-famous guys after her five-year romance with funnyman Jim Carrey fizzled in 2010, appreciates that Urlacher is the "strong, silent type" who "quietly takes care of her when they're together," which we assume means he lets her babble away about vaccinations while he nods gravely.
"That may sound old-fashioned, especially since Jenny is very much her own person and a very contemporary, independent woman in many ways," explains the insider. "But she loves the attention and the way he treats her. It's very comforting."
The pair reportedly hit several Windy City hot spots over the weekend, a public stepping-out that came on the heels of McCarthy's admission to Parade Magazine that she's feeling "giddy right now."
"It took awhile," she admitted. "I felt like, 'Oh, I'm so alone I have to be with somebody' ... But I got to a place where I was like ... I'm happy with myself. I don't need to have a lover to have love in my life."
Once Jenny found her happy place, "[romance] kind of worked out," although her 9-year-son, Evan, currently remains in the dark about her love life.
"I have a six-month rule," said McCarthy. "I don't introduce my son to anybody unless someone makes it six months."
Jenny tweets photo showing her at 211 pounds

Register-Herald Reporter
As long as he is at the helm, House Speaker Rick Thompson says gun manufacturers needn't fear any restrictive new laws, such as the one in Maryland prompting Beretta USA to shop around for a new home.
A ban on so-called "assault weapons" moving through the Maryland General Assembly would render some of Beretta's products unlawful in that state.
For that reason, Thompson rolled out the welcome mat to the company.
"If you are seriously considering moving your headquarters to another location, it would be in your best interest to take a look at West Virginia," Thompson, D-Wayne, said in a letter to Beretta USA's executive vice president, Franco Beretta.
Thompson is certainly no stranger to firearms.
Once an MP in the Army, he is a long-time hunter who has consistently supported the rights of West Virginia gun owners.
Thompson assured the Beretta executive that the West Virginia Legislature would never support a law such as the one under consideration in Maryland.
"As you may be aware, West Virginia has one of the highest rates of gun ownership in the country, only behind Alaska, Montana, South Dakota and Wyoming," the speaker said.
"This, combined with the state's long support of the Second Amendment and our close proximity to your current headquarters, makes us an excellent choice for Beretta USA in your relocation efforts."
Thompson told the company it would find "a wealth of opportunity to expand and grow" in a state "where the people understand and care about your industry."
As pressure mounts in the nation's capital to impose new restrictions on gun ownership, many lawmakers in West Virginia are moving to shore up individual safeguards.
One bill by Delegate Josh Nelson, R-Boone, would take a bold step in forbidding any government entity in the state from enforcing new gun laws coming out of Washington, making it a felony to do so.
Majority Leader Brent Boggs, D-Braxton, seeks to raise the number of states that recognize a West Virginia concealed pistol/revolver permit. Legislation offered by Delegate Ryan Ferns, D-Ohio, would permit the lawful transport and storage of a firearm in a personal vehicle while accessing public areas.
Delegate John Overington, R-Berkeley, wants to allow parents with a concealed permit to be able to enter school property with the firearms in their vehicles. Another concealed proposal, advanced by Delegate Gary Howell, R-Mineral, would let holders of such permits bring firearms locked in vehicles on the Capitol complex.
In a missive to members in the state, the National Rifle Association said, "The Mountaineer State has continued its rich tradition of supporting your Second Amendment rights and hunting and shooting traditions through the introduction of multiple pro-gun bills during its 2013 legislative session."

Sheela Foam Doubles System Performance, Slashes Costs, and Reduces Processing Time by 25% by Migrating Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Intel
October 20, 2009
Customer: Sheela Foam Pvt Ltd
To reduce dependence on UNIX systems, improve cost-efficiency ratio, simplify systems management, and improve scalability for business growth
Proprietary UNIX to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 on Intel Xeon-based Dell PowerEdge server
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Oracle DB
Dell 2950 PowerEdge server, Intel Quad Core Xeon-based E5410 x 2 (Dual CPU) Processors
Eliminated vendor lock-in, doubled system performance, slashed costs by one-tenth translating into cost savings of over Rs. 40 lakh (USD $83,333), and gained the ability to independently manage systems
A US $200 million group and an ISO 9001:2000 company, Sheela Foam is the largest manufacturer of flexible Polyurethane Foam (PU) in India. The company ranks among the top five PU foam manufacturing companies in the Asia-Pacific region. In India, the firm has many manufacturing units, supported through a distribution network of over 70 distributors and 3,000 dealers. The firm also has a presence in Australia, with five manufacturing units located in five major cities. A combination of manufacturing excellence and distribution network has enabled the company to capture over 40 percent of the Indian PU foam market share.
Sheela Foam has previously developed Greatplus, its own custom enterprise resource planning application (ERP) based on Oracle running over a proprietary UNIX environment, to automate its entire production process, from procurement to production.
The custom-built ERP is integrated into Sheela Foam's distribution network of 70 distributors and 3,000 dealers. The firm also used an innovative SMS-based tracking system that helps the company to accurately track and maintain inventory at the location of its distributors and dealers. With every dispatch made by the company to the dealer, an SMS message is sent to the distributor about the stock
dispatched to him.
In this process, every transaction made by the more than 1,500 users worldwide each day was recorded by the ERP system. While the self-constructed ERP system helped Sheela Foam to boost customer confidence, it also meant that the costly system had to be available 24×7. In an effort to improve its cost-value ration, lower costs, and reduce vendor lock-in, Sheela Foam decided to evaluate a number of platforms, including those based on open source technology.
"As a company, we wanted to maximize the value gained from the support provided, as the support costs were too high and prevented us from scaling effectively," said Pertish Mankotia, head of IT, Sheela Foam. Sheela Foam's proprietary UNIX system forced it to depend on a proprietary vendor to test and implement improvements, which made the process expensive to maintain and less effective.
Sheela Foam decided to adopt an open source solution after the company's UNIX system went down and took more than 16 hours to recover. As a mission-critical system, any system downtime directly impacted the reputation of the company and in turn, sales and profits. The incident provided Sheela Foam the impetus to migrate to an open source solution that could be independently maintained by its own IT team.
After evaluating a host of options, Sheela Foam consulted Red Hat Enterprise Linux partner Keen & Able Computers Pvt Ltd. Along with FOSTERing Linux, the training division of Red Hat Partner, Keen & Able, they are uniquely positioned to deliver Red Hat Enterprise Linux based solutions, trainings, and product offerings.
Convinced about the value offered, the firm trusted the market leader, Red Hat, and chose Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 on an Intel Xeon processor-based Dell PowerEdge server. The preloaded Dell 2950 PowerEdge server and the thoroughness of the implementation team made the migration and installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux quick and easy. This meant that the system was ready to be tested and could be deployed immediately.
"Previously, we had very limited and expensive options for storage solutions that where compatible with our UNIX platform," said Mankotia. "Now, we can choose from a wide array of storage solutions that are certified with Red Hat. This choice saves use a lot of money, and a lot of headaches."
Red Hat Enterprise Linux on an Intel Xeon-based Dell PowerEdge server has also enabled the firm to deploy its ERP on a single server, compared to the two previously required servers, doubling system performance with no downtime. The Red Hat solution has also reduced the amount of time required for processing heavy reports by 25 percent. It has also tremendously brought down the costs of maintaining backups and server redundancy in the face of unforeseen failures.
The reduction in servers and associated maintenance costs has translated to cost savings of over Rs. 40 lakh (USD $83,333). The firm now spends only Rs. 4 lakh (USD $8,333) per year compared to the more than Rs. 44 lakh (USD $91,667) on its previous UNIX system.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Intel Xeon-based processors has doubled Sheela Foam's performance levels, significantly lowered costs, and has given the company the ability to independently manage its systems. Today, Sheela Foam's IT team is able to make improvements rapidly with ease.
"Today, I have complete peace of mind because the Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Intel Xeon processor-based Dell PowerEdge server system is known for its stability and is well-designed to scale to the rapidly growing demands of our organization," said Mankotia. "My only regret is that I did not start this earlier."
The trusted Red Hat solution has given the Sheela Foam IT team the ability to focus on more strategic issues that can boost the competitiveness of the company.

By Terry Wooten
---- — My mother passed away a year ago this Oct. 10. I don't claim to be a mystic, but I do have a big imagination. When a person I know dies, I often feel like I can sense their personality around for a while. It wasn't like that with mom. Alzheimer's disease had ravaged her mind so much, she was gone. I couldn't feel anything.
It took a few months for our spirits to repair themselves. Now her memory is with me again every day in all phases of life. I'd like to dedicate this column on art and testing to her.
Minds are unfathomable organs. The way we think, feel, remember and change is as various as our faces. Art and consciousness grew up together. Without art life is a small box to fill in.
On the cover of my book, "The Abstracts of Romance and the Thrill of Being" published in 1997, we used a photo of my mother from 1945. She's seventeen and posing on the bridge over the Middle Branch River in our hometown of Marion.
I gave mom a copy of the book. I don't think she read it for a few weeks. She was too busy carrying it around showing the cover to friends. Mom didn't understand a lot of my early poems, but she was proud of them.
Near the end as Alzheimer's was taking its toll, my wife and I would drive down to Mount Pleasant and spend an afternoon with her just driving around or shopping. One time she stopped some people in a Merchandise Mart and introduced me to them as her son the poet. We talked for a while and then parted.
"How do you know those people?" I asked her.
"I don't," she answered.
Two years later she forgot who I was. It's a good thing there isn't a standardized test score at the end of life.

I loved algebra,
but couldn't do a thing in geometry,
except draw the lines beautifully.
We had a test
and I turned my paper in.
It came back.
The teacher wrote on it
messing up my lines.
"This looks wonderful.
What is the answer?"
I didn't know.
I loved the part in English Grammar
where you broke a sentence down
into a diagram
of different parts.
I loved those lines and shapes.
I could whiz right through that.
I liked Literature of all kinds,
but had a problem
retaining what I read.
Noreen Joffiffe
Test Smart
When I was in sixth grade
schools started IQ testing.
They moved me up to seventh.
I could figure out
information for a test.
That was one of my skills.
School was easy for me.
Other kids couldn't believe
I could finish a test so quickly.
I couldn't necessarily retain facts,
but I could remember it for a test.
I was salutatorian of the class
and graduated at sixteen.
That was too young.
Stanley Holzhauer Regret
Painting, poetry and music"¦I wish I could've studied more
so I could appreciate them better.
An art museum will have a show.
I see
people just enthralled
sitting in front of a painting
up on the wall.
I wonder what's wrong with me.
I can walk by,
look at it
and keep going.
It means nothing to me.
There's something impressive
that escapes me.
Is it the way the light is handled,
or the person is displayed,
whatever that may be?
I think I could've enjoyed art
if I'd learned how.
Poetry is another art I don't understand.
I'll read a poem
and it doesn't make any sense.
Yet, some of the great literature
of the world
is written in poetry.
I missed a good vocabulary education
in early childhood.
We studied a bunch of grammar for tests,
that was it.
We didn't do creative writing.
I don't understand classical music,
but I can enjoy a good cowboy song,
and understand every word.
I still like the big band sound.
No other music compares.
Give me a symphony orchestra,
and I hear a bunch of instruments.
I don't know how to take it in.
What do people hear?
Tell me.
I want to know.

Sierra Nevada: Blount Co. site still first choice (for now)
The Scope checked in on Thursday with Bill Manley, of Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, to find out the latest about the company's planned East Coast expansion.
Manley said Sierra Nevada owner Ken Grossman is planning another trip east sometime soon, and that the two locations being considered for the company's East Coast brewing facility are in Blount County and near Roanoke, Va.
He acknowledged that the decision is taking a little longer than anticipated, but said the company expects to make a decision this summer. Asked if Tennessee was still the company's top choice, Manley said yes but added that it "kind of oscillates back and forth."
The Scope was also curious about whether Sierra Nevada plans to grow any of its beer ingredients on site. Manley said that in Chico, Calif., the brewer has 30 acres of barley and nearly 9 acres of hops -- used in its Estate Homegrown Ale -- but that they probably won't do so in the East.

Oh my goodness. I think this is definitely one of my favs of the cd. That was one smokin' hot song. I think my heart was fluttering when I heard the line 'and my hand wrapped up in a fist of your hair',.....only because it stopped beating with the words that came before that. You gals know which verse I'm talking about.
Whew.....I can't even get to the rest of the cd because as soon as the song ends I want to hear it again. Must...move....on. I think I need some help.

Who's Bummed Out: Brad Paisley, whose 153,000 opening week for This Is Country Music in Number Two seems really unimpressive by comparison. Paisley has yet to hit Number One, and had Gaga come out a week later, he would have had it on lockdown.
So That Means ...: Adele's 21 dipped to Number Three with 126,000, and yet another Glee release debuted in Four with 80,000. A comp titled Maybach Music Group Presents Self Made Vol. 1 arrived at Number Five (59,000), followed by the 38th Now! collection (45,000). The combined powers of boy bands New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys propelled NKOTBSB to a Number Seven debut with 40,000, and MGMT-y band Foster the People's Torches arrived in Eight with 33,000. Two Top 200 perennials -- Jason Aldean's My Kinda Party and Mumford & Sons' Sigh No More -- rounded out the Top 10 with 33K and 25K, respectively.
Other Notable Debuts: American Idol winner Scotty McCreery's digital album of songs from the season took Number 11 with a solid 23,000.
And Michael Jackson Charted How? For the first time in 15 years and 11 months, the King of Pop is Number One on Billboard's Dance/Club Play Songs chart with "Hollywood Tonight" from the posthumous album Michael.

---- — ST. PETER — River's Edge Hospital in St. Peter has named its new head administrator.
George Rohrich, who has worked in hospital administration since 1977, will take over Oct. 14 for the retiring Colleen Spike, who had been the hospital's head administrator for 14 years.
The hospital is owned and run by the city of St. Peter. At its City Council meeting Monday, Rohrich's contract was approved. He'll be paid an annual salary of $155,000 and will have 44 days of paid time off (sick, vacation, holiday). His initial contract will run about 26 months.
St. Peter City Administrator Todd Prafke said Rohrich seemed the best fit for the job.
"The commission and council saw him as having wonderful experience in critical access hospitals and quality leadership skills," Prafke said. "His experience in working with hospitals that were of similar size, and his ability to help the hospital develop a clear vision for future was very impressive."
Rohrich spent six years as the CEO of The Memorial Hospital at Craig in Craig, Colo., where he oversaw construction of the facility. He helped recruit numerous physicians to Craig to work there.
Before Craig, he served as CEO at Washakie Medical Center in Worland, Wyo., and four years as the administrator of the Pembina County Memorial Hospital in Cavalier, N.D. He also spent 15 years in medical administration for the U.S. Air Force in hospitals across the country.
He is married and has two grown children. Rohrich earned a degree in management and humanservices from Park University in Missouri.
When Rohrich left the facility in Craig, he did so by means of an abrupt resignation. Little was made public about the reasons for his departure, but an article published in the Craig Daily Press suggests Rohrich may have left on bad terms with the hospital administration.
According the report, the hospital board held three private personnel meetings. After the final one, the human resources director was told to arrange a meeting with Rohrich. Within 24 hours, Rohrich resigned.
Jackie Kimmet, human resources director for River's Edge, said the hospital commission knew about the kerfuffle in Craig, but she declined to discuss it.
"I don't feel comfortable doing that," Kimmet said.
Rohrich follows Spike, who had been with River's Edge for 15 years, a time span that goes back to when it was known as St. Peter Community Hospital. Spike, whose retirement was effective at the end of June, was embroiled in controversy during the past year after she accused Mayo Clinic Health System, which operates a clinic in St. Peter, of purposely funneling patients away from River's Edge and to their hospital in Mankato. Mayo denies that allegation.
River's Edge, meanwhile, looks to be a challenge for the new guy. Prafke several months ago told The Free Press said that the hospital is operating at a deficit of about $1 million, although Spike put that figure at closer to $1.6 million. Although Prafke said the hospital's financial status can change from year to year.

Joplin Schools will pilot a juvenile drug court program this fall with the assistance of a Jasper County judge.
"The overall objective is to have deep and lasting impact on students' lives who have issues with drugs," said Jason Cravens, the district's director of secondary education. "It's really to provide accountability where it keeps all kids safe, but at the same time, it helps the kid who has the issue get help, so it's really a win-win in that case."
The program will send adolescent drug offenders at Joplin schools to Circuit Judge Gayle Crane, who will help arrange for treatment, counseling, substance abuse educational material or other forms of rehabilitation for students while they remain in school, Cravens said.
Student drug offenses in Joplin have typically resulted in long-term suspension from school under district policy, according to Cravens. Getting treatment or counseling through a drug court program could help students get at the root of their problems — an outcome that is unlikely with suspension, he said.
"We (currently) don't have any way to get deep, and what happens is kids go out and come back and associate with the same friends, and the pattern never changes," he said.
The Joplin program will be modeled after a similar juvenile drug court launched a few years ago in Newton County by Circuit Judge Tim Perigo, who said he "wasn't pleased" with the way youth drug offenses and suspensions were being handled by local schools. Perigo has also overseen an adult drug court, one of the first in the state, in Newton County for about 15 years.
In Perigo's program, students meet regularly with a "drug court team" at school before or after classes to discuss issues such as attendance, grades, community service and random drug tests. It serves primarily students who are caught with drugs or alcohol on school property, he said.
A graduate of that program told the Globe that it saved her life. The 17-year-old who is in foster care said she began using drugs at age 12 with her biological mother and was eventually showing up high at school every morning.
She was referred to Perigo's court after she was caught at school with drugs and alcohol in her purse. She rebelled, instead preferring to continue the lifestyle she knew, but she had no choice.
In the program, she stayed in school and took twice-weekly classes at night that covered "a little bit of everything," including drug recovery, family dynamics and goal-setting. The first four to six months were the most difficult, she said, because the program works best if an individual wants to change — and she didn't, at first.
"It's the hardest thing I've ever went through," she said. "But it helps you become prepared for adulthood, and live on your own and set goals."
She has now been sober for a year and seven months. She is officially a drug court graduate, but she remains in counseling for now. A high school senior at Neosho, she plans to attend Crowder College following her graduation next May.
"It's a life-changing program in general," she said. "I don't want to imagine where my life would be without it."
Tim Crawley, director of operations for the Neosho School District, praised the juvenile drug court program. He said that before its implementation, drug infractions carried suspensions from school of up to 180 days for young offenders, which sometimes caused the students to lose credits and delay graduation from high school.
But drug court "recognizes they made a mistake" and offers support to help them work through their issues while continuing to work through school, he said.
"Really, it's like a helping hand; it's not a punishment," he said. "We know they're kids, and it's our responsibility to help them learn, and it sometimes goes beyond learning your vowel sounds and mathematics and science."
As a former school resource officer in Neosho, Dereck Price, Newton County deputy juvenile officer, said it was "disturbing" how many drug- and alcohol-related incidents he saw in the schools before the program. Now, student offenders who are referred to drug court not only stay in school, where adults can watch over them, but they also are counseled to get at the heart of their problems, which typically run deeper than substance abuse, he said.
"Drugs is how it kind of manifests itself, but the real reason could be some family stuff going on, so whenever you can get into that, you can solve some problems," he said.
Cravens said Joplin, like most school districts, has dealt with drugs and alcohol on its campus.
"It's a problem, I would say, as a country within schools," he said. "It varies based upon the culture of a town or kids, but drugs and alcohol — just because you're dealing with teens in general — is going to be an issue in some form or fashion."
Crane said several case managers, court administrators and treatment specialists are already on board with the Joplin program, which will be ready to go when school starts later this month.
"The way I see it, every time you can save one of these kids, it reduces my criminal docket, which is why I got involved," she said.
The proposal received support last week from Joplin School Board members, who said they saw benefits of implementing it within the district.
Board member Michael Landis said the program would be a better alternative to suspending students for drug offenses.
"When we're suspending a child, it's a disservice to the school district, it's a disservice to the courts, it's a disservice to everybody," he said.
The idea of a drug court for youths isn't a new one. Missouri is home to more drug courts per capita than any other state, according to the National Association of Drug Court Professionals.
There were 1,438 adult drug courts and 458 juvenile drug courts in the United States as of last year, according to the National Drug Court Resource Center. About 75 adult courts and nearly two dozen juvenile courts were in Missouri as of 2008, the most recent year for which data were available, according to the Missouri Association of Drug Court Professionals.
According to the national association, 75 percent of all drug court graduates nationwide remain arrest-free two years after leaving the program.
There hasn't been as much research conducted on juvenile drug courts as on adult courts because of their relative newness. But a 2010 report from the national association cites studies suggesting that young drug court participants are less likely than young adults on juvenile probation to be re-arrested or arrested for a new offense after their rehabilitation.
Program costs
Jasper County Circuit Judge Gayle Crane said implementing the juvenile drug court program would be at no cost to the Joplin School District, that it would be funded by grants from the state Department of Social Services' Division of Youth Services.

The best two Class 3A teams in the Tulsa-Metro area clash tonight for a shot at a district championship.
Metro Christian (7-0 overall, 3-0 District 3A-6) hosts Verdigris (7-0 overall, 4-0 district) at 7:30 p.m. in what is expected to be an offensive shootout.
Metro Christian uarterback Andrew Hearon ranks fifth in the area in passing, completing 92-of-131 passes for 1,617 yards and 22 touchdowns with only one interception.
Hearon's ability to find the end zone has enabled Metro Christian to light up the scoreboard and outscore opponents 298-99.
A year ago, Hearon passed for 363 yards and five touchdowns as Metro Christian walloped Verdigris 52-30.
On the flipside, Verdigris quarterback Christian Hitchcock isn't too shabby either, completing 83-of-143 passes for 1,422 yards and 11 touchdown with only two interceptions.
The difference, however, could be the Verdigris running game which is led by tailback Tanner Smith, who has 103 carries for 868 yards and 17 touchdowns.
Bryce Lindsey also contributes with 60 carries for 655 yards and nine touchdowns for Verdigris.
Offensively, Verdigris has tallied 331 points in seven games for an average of 47.2 points per game.
The winner of this showdown will have the inside track to the district championship, as well as the top spot in the playoffs.
Looking at both teams against common opponents:
— Metro Christian def. Tahlequah Sequoyah, 31-28; Verdigris beat Sequoyah, 35-28 in overtime.
— Metro Christian rolled past Locust Grove, 52-8; Verdigris beat Locust Grove, 52-21.

The Rhode Island College Early Enrollment Program is a concurrent enrollment program that offers college credit at Rhode Island College to high school students for certain courses which they take at their respective high schools. The EEP provides the means for high school students to get a head start in college by obtaining college credits at Rhode Island College and transferring those credits to the institution that they attend. The EEP is also a formal program that fosters communication between high school teachers and college professors and creates an educational relationship between the high school and the college communities. For a detailed explanation of the Rhode Island College Early Enrollment Program, transferring of credits, and/or other important information, please call the EEP office at 456-8857 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com. NACEP, the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships, of which Rhode Island College is a charter member, provides guidelines and standards to which concurrent enrollment programs must adhere to maintain membership. It is the adherence to these standards that maintains credibility and excellence among programs such as the EEP and will assure its students credit transfer among many colleges and universities in the United States. The primary purpose of this manual is to document formally the policies and guidelines which govern the workings of the Early Enrollment Program at Rhode Island College to provide a clear understanding for all parties involved.
