There are many things that we, as a community, can do to reduce drinking and driving and to prevent these tragedies from happening. \u00a0If you plan to drink, don\u2019t drive. It is important to always have a plan. Walk, ride, carpool or call a cab to ensure your own safety as well as others on the road.<\/p>\n<p>Several local businesses participated in a \u201cSticker Shock\u201d campaign over the holiday season. Participating shops partnered with the Madison County STOP DWI Program, under the Madison County Sheriff\u2019s Office, in collaboration with BRiDGES, Madison County Council on Alcoholism, Inc., and placed stickers, which read \u201cHave a plan. Walk. Ride. Carpool. Call a cab. Don\u2019t Drive. Get a Ride.\u201d on hundreds of pizza boxes and carrying bags to deter those who may be drinking and driving.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSticker Shock\u201d is a project that aims to reduce alcohol and impaired driving-related traffic injuries and fatalities through the coordination of county, town, city and village efforts. The shops who participated in and supported \u201cSticker Shock\u201d included Titletown Liquors and Mark\u2019s Pizzeria in Canastota, Oliveri\u2019s, New York Pizzeria and Village Wine and Spirits in Hamilton<\/p>\n<p>Madison County Sheriff Allen Riley reminds the public about the \u201cHave A Plan\u201d app.\u00a0 It is one of the most comprehensive traffic safety mobile apps in the country. Users can download the \u201cHave A Plan\u201d app by visiting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stopdwi.org\/mobile%20app\" target=\"_blank\">www.stopdwi.org\/mobile app<\/a> and selecting the link from the Apple Store, Google Play, or the Windows Phone Store.\u00a0 \u201cI urge drivers to make advance plans to get a sober ride home from a friend, a taxi or by using public transportation. The new \u201cHave A Plan\u2019 app can help guide individuals to make the right choice to get home safely. Don\u2019t put yourself or others in harm\u2019s way by driving while impaired,\u201d noted Riley.<\/p>\n<p>Riley and BRiDGES Executive Director Susan Jenkins stress that high profile events and holiday weekends aren\u2019t the only time the message on the stickers apply; it should be observed year around.\u00a0 Both Riley and Jenkins thanked the establishments, Canastota High School\u2019s SADD Chapter, and the Hamilton Boy Scouts Troop 120 for their support and willingness to help prevent drinking and driving in Madison County.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Oneida, NY &#8211; Feb. 2015) \u00a0Alcohol-related deaths and injuries among people in our community have become all too common.
