Schultz Pontiac Buick Ltd. 1111 Central 563-0271 by LESLIE PERRY Citizen Staff Reporter “Don’t try to pack all life's experiences in one evening — come home alive.” That’s the message being given to Prince George students the CARnage road safety members in advance of graduation celebrations later this month. CARnage members started their safety campaign by giving 120 Kelly Road Secondary School students a solemn lecture on drinking and driving this week. The committee will also speak to the 500 graduating students at Prince George Secondary School on June 14 and the 160 graduating students at Duchess Park Secondary School June 8. “Of the 22 fatal accidents in Prince George last year, 64 per cent were due to drinking and driving and 37 per cent involved people under 19,” students were told. A row of eight empty chairs faced the students - a grim testimony to those who have died on the highways in Prince George this year. Students also saw a film and gruesome slides showing accident victims. “These films are designed to scare you and make you think; 1 don’t want to spoil your fun, but I would ask you to approach your celebration with sanity and return home alive,” Roland Stieda of CARnage said. He told the students “life gets livelier and more fun when you get older.” “Even if you’re not driving you’re better off to get your parents annoyed and walk 10 miles home or present them with a $20 taxi bill," he told the students. Students were told that 6.000 Canadians die annually from motor vehicle accidents and the majority of those accidents involve alcohol and teenage drivers. “Make prior arrangements to get home or stay overnight wherever you’re having your party,” a CARnage member said. An ambulance driver told students drinking and driving was “crazy and stupid, but nobody seems to be listening.” Dr. Ron Dabbs, a member of the emergency team at Prince George Regional Hospital, said it was impossible to share the emotions he felt in the emergency ward of the hospital. “But I can assure you if you drink and drive sooner or later you’ll suffer those emotions too.” A ministry of forestry spokesman told student “graduates use forest service campsites for parties and some sites have already been used and at some there’s broken glass and garbage all over the place.” The spokesman urged students to “clean up their mess and consider sleeping out toer night if they celebrate ar a forestry campsite.” Several students inter- Terry Roberts City Editor 562-2441 Local news viewed after the one-hour talk said they were “affected” by what they heard. • "It made an affect on me, I would think twice before I got into my car again,” said student Frank Mercuri, 17. Another student said the talk “re-affirmed his feelings about what can happen when you drink and drive.” “You need something like this to re-affirm your thoughts, but I don’t think it would make much of an affect on those who are going to drink and drive anyway,” said Remondo Bernardo, 18. “Maybe more roadblocks RUPERT-ISLAND and heavier fines would work with people like that, or if they brought people here who had been in an accident.” Bernardo said the CARnage talk “makes the responsible mind more aware but others can associate more with people than with films.” He said most of the parties he and his friends go to “we stay overnight.” “But I think we’re in a minority in this school; I don’t think this (CARnage talk) would make any difference to most people; if your mind is made up you’re not going to change it.” Ferry route cut by new terminal BEAR COVE, B.C.

The new terminal, near Port Hardy, replaces one at Kelsey Bay, about 115 kilometres to the southeast. Construction of the Bear Cove terminal took seven months. Dock facilities are designed to handle the ferry Queen of Prince Rupert and the Queen of Surrey, which Premier Bennett said might soon be coming out of mothballs for use on the Prince Rupert run.

THE CITIZEN. Prince George — Friday. June 1. 1979 —3 CARnage COMMITTEE Message to grads: 'Come home alive' 'Fewer mishaps involved alcohol7 VICTORIA (CP) - Alcohol accounted for only 18 per cent of the motor vehicle accidents in British Columbia during the May holiday weekend, Attor-neyGeneral Garde Gardom said Thursday. Gardom said 34,000 drivers were stopped in road checks throughout the province during the weekend ending May 21. Criminal charges will be laid against 251 motorists while another 207 were given 24-hour roadside suspensions. The attorney-general said drivers involved in 66 alcohol-related accidents will be charged. But these accidents involving liquor were just 18 per cent of the total weekend count. Impaired driving charges were laid against 330 people during a March roadside blitz and 227 roadside suspensions were issued. Gardom says there were fewer impaired charges in the May blitz because advance warnings resulted in fewer drinking motorists on the road. 0,scouNrs MINIS — VANS — TRAILERS MOTOR HOMES — CAMPERS SAVE NOTHIN' BUT MONEY!
