About 20 students were looking rather ghostly Friday at Kincardine District Secondary School. Their purpose was to demonstrate the number of teens killed due to impaired driving over a May 24th weekend. Many were members of the KDSS chapter of the Ontario Students Against Impaired Driving (OSAID). Not only were they dressed in white T-shirts and their faces painted for the entire school day, they could not communicate in any fashion with the people around them. This was one of a number of events, organized by OSAID, to encourage people not to drink and drive. The group also had elementary school students put that message on boxes used by the Kincardine Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) store for packaging alcohol sold over the holiday weekend.
