Chilton PELANDA DRUG FORUM IS LAUDABLE Dear Editor: Marion owes a debt of gratitude to Rep. Dorothy Pelanda for rounding up a state legislature committee to study drug problems in Ohio. We all know heroin and other illegal drugs are a cancer on our community and others in Ohio. We have seen increased law enforcement activity for which we are grateful. Rep. Pelanda will head a committee of 10 house members to work with law enforcement officials to learn about this problem from the ground up. Hopefully, it will produce some meaningful legislation and programs to attack the issue. Once again, Dorothy Pelanda is showing the kind of leadership we have come to expect from her. Nick R.
