continued from page 1 don't miss a spot."' One could tell that Greer is a natural with youngsters by the way she spoke to them and injected humour that made the students laugh. Greer started to explain the ef- fects of drugs on the brain by first placing her hand on a student's head and asking what her hand was. The kids knew that joke and responded that it was a brainsucker- starving! Greer said that there are millions of cells in the brain and they are working constantly. '"'When you add alcohol, drugs and nicotine, the brain gets fogged up," she said. '*Brain cells die anyway- there is no rebirth. When you add drugs and alcohol and nicotine, they are killed faster."' She said forgetfulness and poorer vision result from this. 'You say things you didn't mean because you didn't think about what you were going to say first,"' Greer said. Sight, smell and taste Sister Greer explained to the students that when people get sore throats because it is clogged up, it hurts to talk, swallow and eat because the throat is dry- "something is affected," she said. The throat is delicate like a thin slice of onion skin and when you add something foreign like smoke, it causes the esophagus to break up and the result is a sore throat, Greer explained. When people drink too much and get sick, she said, they vomit. Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, April 8, 1987, page 7 Students warned about drugs and aicohol '*But the throat is made to go one way- down, not up. When you vomit and throw up, it pushes everything the wrong way- up."' Greer said the result is bleeding which is hard to stop because it is inside. "You can't put a bandaid on the inside."' Lungs Greer said the lungs are taken for granted. "When somebody smokes or vomits and swallows, all that gook goes back into the lungs," she said. Greer made an example for the kids by asking them if they could turn a raisin back into a grape by putting it into a glass of water. Some youngsters responded yes and some said no. "The answer is no," Greer said. "Once the lungs are damaged, they can't be switched to easily- the damage is there for life." She said we need to breathe to live so we should take care of our lungs. Liver "The liver is the washing machine of the body," Greer told the students. "'It can wash out | oz. of alcohol per hour from the Pancreas The pancreas takes care of the sugar in the body, Greer said. There is a lot of sugar in alcohol therefore diabetics can't drink. Alcoholics have been know to turn into diabetics, she said. Arms and legs Greer explained that the use of drugs and alcohol can block up the body system and result in water retention. Heart The use of drugs and alcohol can impair the flow of oxygen going to the heart, said Greer. Mixing drugs Greer told the kids it is a bad thing to mix drugs like aspirin and alcohol. "It is not a bad thing to drink,"' she said. You have to be old enough to drink; you have to respect alcohol and you have to measure it properly and not over- drink she said. Open own pop Greer told the kids they should not experiment by making a con- coction. A major danger then is that you "don't know what it is,"' body." She explained that when the liver gets tired, for example from over- drinking, it can't wash out the body. said Greer. **When you're at a par- ty, open your own pop."' continued on page 9 Drugs and alcohol Above is Sister Alice Greer. She is shown talk- ing to students at Holy Angels elementary school in Schreiber on Thursday, April 2. Greer is a Chemical Dependancy Counsellor from the Smith Clinic in Thunder Bay- she is also with the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph. She told the students that drinking is not bad, it is the abuse of alcohol and drugs that makes them bad. Greer explained to the students what would happens to their bodies if they abused drugs.
