Editorial
Not even harsh
reality of death
enough to get
message through:
don't drink
and drive
Friday afternoon Sarah LeBeau was found guilty
of 10 charges stemming from a'drinking and
driving crash that killed four of her friends.
Friday evening, 27 young people were charged
with liquor violations on their way to and from a
party on a gravel road in McKillop Township.
Will nothing send the message home that
drinking and driving really is wrong; that it really
does kill people?
Police were called Friday night about a large
party taking place in the township and set up RIDE
(Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) check to
deal with the high traffic flovy.
It resulted in 25 young people between the
ages of 16 and 19 charged with liquor offences,
two �f which had their licences suspended. Two.
others over the age of 19 were charged.
This should be nothing less than upsetting to
every parent out there and every motorist
travelling these roads.
The risks aren't worth it.
LeBeau gave this area the strongest message
possible about the dangers of drinking and
driving.
The messages from organizations like Mothers
Against Drunk Driving have been out there for
years and for.anyone who has ignored them, the
drinking and driving related death of four young
people from Huron County should paint a clearer
picture that drinking and driving really does lead
to loss of life
It's no longer just a message There are faces to
go with the statistics
Brian Hill ,
. Mark Webster
Pamela King
Neil Atchison -
These are names of real people we have lost
from this community through drinking and
driving "` 1
If those faces aren't enough to make people
stop, maybe there really isn't any hope for those
who are still drinking and driving and have failed
to take the messages seriously
' "- Please, le rnfroril these past mistakes--- -- •
The youths charged at the McKillop party were
old enough to drive a car and that means they're
old enough to be at least a little responsible.
•
Yes, go on out and have a good time but live by
the same rules that are slowly becoming a part of
adult society
Have designated drivers
Draw straws or take turns but at least do
something to ensure that each group of friends
has someone sober and responsible to look out
for the rest of them
Someone who is not going to take alcohol -
influenced risks on the roads
Someone who can stay in control of the car and
get everyone home safely and back to the party
next weekend
The partying doesn't have to end
The drinking and driving does. For all our sakes.

Workshop will help with drain and fish habitats
- Are you concerned about fish in your
agricultural drain' Or, are you
concerned that you may be paying for
unnecessary drain clean out.,' •
Believe it or not. fisheries habitat in
agricultural drains is compatible. and
.. may also have the potential for reducing
drain maintenance cost,. In fact. there
are working example's across
Southwestern Ontario that. can
demonstrate this: . • - -t
In. one situation in Hallett Township
near •Auburn. a drain •required regular
clean out on a Live year cycle. After fish
habitat imprgvement activities were
carred out, the drain hal not required
any clean out or other significant
• maintenance•activities for more than 10
year,. In addition. there is now a
healthy population of fish' in the drain.
Every drainage situation is different.
however, in almost every instance there
is room for- some •compromise to
consider alternative approaches that can
potentially benefit aquatic life while.
maintaining or improving-d•rainage
function. Otten this can -he carried out
with.little -or- no,extra cost. and may
provide savings. if ongoing, matntenance
costs are reduced. • •
