Every four years, Central Catholic High School puts on a presentation (in conjunction with the California Highway Patrol) about drunk driving.  The program is called “Every 15 Minutes” and the last time it was at CCHS, Sierra was a junior.  In the back of my mind, I’ve known for a while that we were do to hold the event again and yesterday, it started.  This program involves the emergency response agencies in the area but the most important component are the students who participate.   When the student body sees their own friends and classmates participate:  in the crash scene, placed in a body bag, flown away in a medical response helicopter, given last rites, missing from class, etc. they get a glimpse of the tragedy that can come from drinking and driving.  This program is a difficult thing to witness, I can’t imagine being a participant.  It was difficult enough to watch the video on the local newspaper’s website.  I ask for God’s blessings on everyone involved.  Thank you for the sacrifice you went through to bring home a message of such importance.
