Welcome to Chimacum School District. Former Superintendent Mike Blair was an active member
of SAAB and we hope to have greater representation from all areas of Jefferson County again.
Matt Tyler presented information about promoting/enforcing alcohol-free county parks in Jefferson
County (following RCW 66.44.100: Opening or consuming liquor in a public place)
Always in effect, but emphasis will begin mid-March and focus on overnight camping parks.
Parks open 4/1/12.
Would the SAAB like to be a co-sponsor of this new promotion/enforcement effort? Yes, the
board would like to support.
V. Provider Reports
Prevention Kelly
No written report this month
Project Alert is completed in Port Townsend schools and funding has been pulled going forward.
Kelly and Karen Obermeyer will be checking in with school districts about future efforts.
“Our Kids: Our Business” will be coming in April! Keep your eyes peeled for pinwheels!
Dr. Robert Anda (ACE Study) will be presenting on April 26, 2012 at the Northwest Maritime
Center—sign up at www.jeffcocommunitynetwork.org
“Protecting You: Protecting Me” underway with grades 4 and 5
Public Health Julia
No report
County Drug and Alcohol Coordinator Ford
Still awaiting results from state legislators regarding supplemental budget action and future
budgets. Unfortunately, it does appear there will be deep cuts that will impact viability of publicly-
funded treatment.
Collateral costs are increasing, theft is on the rise and this is already having a serious (negative)
impact on the community that will only increase
APPROVED April 10, 2012
Youth Report Coleman
No report
VI. Old Business
1. Jail Relapse Prevention program Fran
a. The maximum number of participants are regularly participating
b. Age range is 23-46
c. 12-Step Groups within the jail are ongoing and also reaching maximum number of participants
2. KPTZ report and discussion Catharine/Kelly/Anne
a. Discussions have continued and KPTZ is showing great interest in the series regarding youth
substance abuse prevention, perhaps even taking further steps with the show and utilizing it
as a platform for a regular radio show/segment going forward (tbd)
b. Most likely will not be able to air a program before spring break in April, but will try to get a
program on during the month of April (to also coincide with “Our Kids: Our Business”)
c. Continue to work on finding the best panelists that will have a shared message consistent with
SAAB’s message. Will most likely have a SAAB member as a panelist in each discussion to
discuss effective (best-practice) prevention science as needed.
d. KPTZ willing to look at ways to encourage an interesting community dialogue—perhaps
having pod casts available, winding up the series with a “Q&A” show where people can
email/call in/mail questions along the series for a panel to review
3. Communities That Care Project
Workshop Report Anne
The process continues with risk and protective factor assessment in March and resource
assessment in April. A report will be compiled for the community highlighting the prioritized risk

Design of flyer for pharmacy distribution Anne

ongoing drug take back program. Conner and Anne will work together with the pharmacies (and
allow them to choose the color flyer they would like!)
Jefferson County Community Network will assist with first round of printing costs
Will add “Sponsored by Substance Abuse Advisory Board and Jefferson County Community
Network” to flyer
5. Press Release distribution ideas Fran/John
a. As a board, how do we continually network and reach a broader audience? How do we share
our messages with populations not normally reached or receptive to information about
substance abuse (prevention-intervention-treatment-aftercare issues)? Please think of places
where information, like John Austin’s press release, could be shared.
VII. New Business
Spit Tobacco “spread the word” efforts
The information is being shared with both Port Townsend and Chimacum schools.
Congratulations to Chase and family
