| Searching for a way to stay in contact with children throughout the summer months, the D.A.R.E. program of the St. Francois County Sheriff's Department sponsors several different ball teams. Some are coached by the D.A.R.E. Deputy Gary Carver with help from parents in the community. |

| These games allows Deputy Carver not only to stay in touch with the kids on the team, but also to meet parents and interact with the many young people who come to the ball fields to "hang out". These summer programs have proven to be valuable over the last several years and are increasing in popularity. |
