Teenage drinking: An ever-presen, problem. to boasts was geared spear andira members. With the holiday season approaching, a and Program t of people are paying closer attention to and Aa roster betweeor n and te26 students tela Cu 6u alcohol abuse among their level of alcohol consumption. The im- core lotkdown has a to do RIDE this, but along owith it is the fact that more and more people are becoming aware of the effects off their drinking. The beer or two consumed before d not onlyytthabt driver, but the wheel of a car but every driver on the road. Also, a more health -conscious socie- ty is realizing that moderation is the best approach. But does this apply to the teenage seg- ment of the population, students between the ages of 15 and 19 who are old enough to drive but, technically too young to drink? Many proponents of stiffer drinking penalties think not. The rise in the number of accidents involving underaged and im- paired individuals, male and female, is alarming and cracking down on teenage alcohol abuse is not easy. In. many cases, the motivation to change has to come from within the peer group itself. eaforth District High School stud have formed a group known as SAID, `Students Against Impaired Driving', group was formed as a follow-up to a 1 program in the school, ADAPT (Alco ants or bl The Seaf 987 from hol min Lind cal Educatio teacher aat the high schooliwho was invol ed with the original ADAPT program noted that there was an increase in th nurnber of students involved in SAID afte a classmate from Walton was involved a drinking and driving related fatality thi year. The students were concerned that this was going on, and they wanted to stop it,' she notes. The majority of the students in the group are around 16 or 17, from Grade 11, but there is a high percentage of seniors in- volved. This is promising, as it is this age group that generally has easiest access to both a vehicle and alcohol. A survey taken through ADAPT showed that the incidence of drinking and driving peaked around Grade 11, when many students are getting their licenses and are reaching the age where peer pressure is increasing Is the teenage drinking and driving pr em magnified in a rural area such Orth? It is difficult to say, but a stud a few years ago, documenting ala gly high occurrences of accidents County. really to Huron n school v- Nem in thes b bud, teaching to p the alcohol e awareness units in the Health and Phys programs at the Grade 9,10 and 11 r level. The units are not necessarily geared in to a "don't drink” philosophy, but tend to s concentrate on social and legal conse- quences, and personal decision making. But how strong is a 16-year-old's per- ' sonal motivation to make a decision to not drink and drive? The pressure of the teenage peer group is enormous, and in a rural area where the only access to enter- tainment - a party, a trip to the beach or a night out in Goderich - is by car, what are the odds that a teenager is like! to say "no" 7 Far too often, the ramifications of drinking and driving don't hit home un- til personal tragedy strikes. Trying to get the message through to an entire age bracket is a formidable task, and many would claire, an impossible one. It all o- comes down to each individual and the as choice that he or she makes. y As Linda Doig points out, "I think it's r- just a problem in the whole of society with and alcohol itself." Tuckers. 0th Wayne Caldwell appeared before Tuckersmith Council last week to update .members on the progress of the Huron County Landfill Site Investigation. A brief presentation was made on the constraint snapping process being used in conjunction with the Huron County Waste Management Master Plan. This process in- volves the use of a list of predetermined categories to map areas in the County which would be unsuitable for use as a landfill site area. Once these areas are identified, they are eliminated as possible sites. Mr. Caldwell went over this list with • Council members, pointing out the criteria used to determine unsuitability. The areas are: Areas of natural and scientific interest, ie. Sarotoga Swamp' Wetlands, ie. Hallett Marsh Municipal Wells Airports Urban areas, as designated by the Of- ficial Plan, including a suitable buffer zone, ie. Hensall, Kingsbridge Schools, including a suitable buffer zone Provincial Parks and Conservation Authority lands, ie. Point Farms Provincial Park, Falls Reserve. County Forests Oversight Last week's Huron Expositor contained a preview article concerning the Midwestern Ontario Farm Toy, Doll, Craft and Quilt show set for December 3. The Seaforth Agricultural Society was named as the sponsor of tl}e .event, Show, organizers and the Huron F,xpgsitor would like to amend this statement and add that the Van Eg- mond Society shares equal sponsorship with the Agricultural Society. Without the Society's efforts the show would not be a possibility. We would like to apologize for any con- cern caused by this oversight. • briefed on w este p Seasonal Residential areas, including a suitable buffer zone Specified classes of agricultural lands Licensed pits and quarries Areas with hydrogeological susceptibility to groundwater contamination. This in- cludes areas with moderate to high permeability deposits of sand and gravel, and areas with bedrock outcrops. It is possible that most of the areas o Huron County rnay have be eliminate after the constraint mapping process has been completer:. T: this happens, it will b necessary to revise the list of categorie reduce the stringency in some them. A number of points were raised during the presentation. The inclusion of licensed pits on the list was questioned, as empty quarries would seem to be feasible sites 1111 n for a landfill project. Mr. Caldwell remark- ed that pits dug before 1980 are not necessarily licensed, and are therefore possible sites. However, older quarries often have a very high concentration of gravel deposit sediment and have a high susceptibility to ground water contamina- tion, making them unsuitable. "You can probably engineer ani site to make it suitable," Mr. Caldwell pointed f out, "but you want to find a natural site d to minimize costs." The question of what constitutes "Conser- e yam Authority lands" was also raised. o Mr. Caldwell explained that even though such lands may not be being utilized, as part of a parkper se, they may be under preservation as part of a wildlife and lands conservation project and would therefore be ruled out in the constraint mapping process. THE FEDERAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT BANK (FBDB) is sponsoring a •Com- mn7unity Business Initiatives (CBI) program for Huron County. The first session of 10 to be held over the next year was presented at the Red Maple Inn on November 8. The program is designed to help small rural businesses.
