CHILLICOTHE — Since its inception earlier this year, it seems like a ray of light has been shining on efforts to get the My Attitude Determines Everything (M.A.D.E.) anti-drug program rolling in local high schools.

It was fitting, therefore, that the sun was shining uncharacteristically warm and bright in mid-November on as many as 1,500 area youths as they marched through Yoctangee Park to the steps at the Ross County Courthouse, periodically chanting “We are drug free” for parents and community members scattered along the route.
