Vashon-Maury Island Beachcomber, 05 Jul 2011 – Thanks to Kirsten Frandsen for her column in the June 22 issue of The Beachcomber (“Drug and alcohol use among Vashon teens: Let science be our guide.”) As a Vashon resident, physician,Vashon High School graduate and parent, I very much agree with her. In teenagers the brain is still under construction.
