LAKE LINDEN -- Students from Lake Linden-Hubbell Public Schools watched the STAND Strength Team rip apart phone books, bend metal poles and destroy baseball bats, but this wasn't just any kind of show.  It was a part of an anti-bullying awareness campaign.

The STAND Strength's message is to motivate and encourage students through positive teachings and demonstrations.

"We need to invest in the lives of our young people and teach them those good morals and teach them those good values of being respectful, being honest, being upright, having integrity, helping your neighbor, and caring for others," said STAND Strength Team founder, Terry "Shrek" Nalin.

These muscle men have been around for nearly 20 years, and they perform at different schools across the country.

If you're interested in meeting some of the athletes, they will be at the Glad Tidings Church in Hancock Friday night at 7 p.m.  The event is free and will continue throughout the weekend.
