News from the Lake County Health Department
“Tar Wars” is a national tobacco-free education program from the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) designed for fourth through sixth-grade students. The program consists of a one-hour presentation that is given by volunteer health care professionals and educators. Dr. Cara Harrop is Lake County’s health care volunteer and Lake County Public Health Tobacco Prevention & Education Program facilitates her speaking engagements. All fifth graders in Arlee, Charlo, Polson, Ronan, and St. Ignatius public schools had the opportunity to hear Dr. Harrop speak this year and then had the chance to participate in a follow-up poster contest. There were 172 out of approximately 400 students who chose to participate. Lake County ReACT students (a student organization Against Corporate Tobacco) and Lake County Public Health employees judged the poster contest. A champion from each town was chosen and a champion, first runner-up, and second runner-up were chosen from Lake County at large.
This year’s Lake County Tar Wars Poster Champion is Harli Kinney from Arlee Public Schools. First runner-up is Justus Feistner and second runner-up is Christiana Walker, both from Polson Public Schools.
Arlee City Champion was Harli Kinney, Charlo City Champion is Karly Alder, Polson City Champion is Justus Feistner, Ronan City Champion is LeRose “Rosie” Black, and St. Ignatius City Champion is Rowan McElderry.
