Don't drink and drive (Continued from page 12) As a responsible citizen,' social drinker, and an educator, I fepl that it is finally time to speak out against the senseless carnage which is occurring occurring on roads and highways throughout Ontario and around the world. y Are education programs having an impact? Healthy, young and capable people continue to be maimed and killed due to impaired drivers. Can this senselessness be stopped, or at least greatly reduced? Are alcohol and drugs too accessible? accessible? Those of us in positions of authority need to do our best to ensure ensure that they are not! Impaired driving after all is the responsibility of our entire community and not ; just that of those individuals'who indulge. Ml-. Andrew Allan Dear Parents: ' Far too frequently, the MontlaV morning news is about the death of, or the injury to a former student because of an accident influenced by alcohol. During my twenty-three years of teaching'in this area, the impact is always the same: disbelief, grief and anger. The students pledge not to let this happen again to another friend, but they don't have the power to handle the problem. There was an active S.A.D.D. group working out of Clarke High School, but it has lost its thrust. It is time to» start it up again. Parents must get involved and back up the program by being responsible role models for our children. Let's stop the madness.
