We have now got our Mayor, Joseph Kash of our city, Beattyville, to sign our proclamation:

May National Youth Traffic Safety Month

• Whereas, Each year more than 5,000 youth die in traffic crashes,
• Whereas, prom and summer times are the deadliest times for teen drivers,
• Whereas, the number two cause of death for teens is motor vehicle accidents,
• Whereas, teens make up only 7% of the driving population, but for 14% of the traffic fatalities,
• Therefore, be it resolved, that I, Mayor Joseph Kash, ask all Residents of Beattyville to join me in Discussing these Disturbing statistics with teen drivers--- and be it further resolved that may is recognized as National Youth Traffic Safety Month.

Witness My Hand and the offical Seal of the City of Beattyvill to be affixed this 14th day of April, 2009

And our next step is going to the county judge, Steve Mays and Governor, Steve Breshear to sign the Proclamation.

"Gettin" the word out dudes.....

DUDES!!!, we had a great idea. We are working with our principal to send a message out to every school in the state of Kentucky to tell them what we are all about-hammering home the message "Teen years should be the best of your life not the last".
Dudes you guys know what I'm saying? harsh statistics like this are junk!

..In 2000, 6,495 people between the ages of 15 and 20 were killed in motor vehicle crashes. Who would've thought that about 2,000 lbs of metal, 18 gallons of highly explosive gasoline, and a careless teen driver would end in death? Yo boneheads! Teen drivers represent 6.6% of the nation's drivers, but they are involved in 14.8% of all fatal crashes.

Don't become a number in these statistics "Drive it like you want to live"
Sean out!
