Flyers' swap meet Saturday to raise Relay for Life funds The Shelton RC Flyers, a local group involved with remote-con- trol vehicles, will add a table ded- icated to Relay for Life at its swap meet Saturday at the Ma- son County Fairgrounds. Relay for Life is the year's prime fund-raiser and conscious- hess-raiser for the American Can- cer Society, noted Sharon Diaz, spokesperson for the RC Flyers. Admission is free to the event, said Diaz, and tables cost $5. While most of the items at the event are items and accessories related to remote-control boats, planes and cars, she said, there will also be general items. The swap meet will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. March 20 in Fair- grounds Building 17. Additional information is avail- able from Diaz at 427-6102. New DUI laws involve ,to00ughe00 • consequences en years, as opposed to the past five years under a previous law. • Past charges reduced from DUI to less severe crimes will count as DUI offenses in repeat- offender sentencing. • Police are allowed to im- pound the vehicles of drivers with suspended sentences. • Intoxicated drivers with pas- sengers in their vehicles can re- ceive stiffer sentences than if they were unaccompanied. • Charges for underage per- sons who obtain, possess or con- sume alcohol will be raised to gross-misdemeanor level. THE INTENT of the law, Norman says, is not to arrest more drunk drivers but "to dis- suade people from drinking and driving altogether, thereby mak- ing state roadways a safer place for friends and families." As the consequences of lower limits and harsher consequences hit home, she said, it's hoped that fewer people will drive drunk and be ar- rested. The first DUI arrest of the year in the state was a case in point, Norman said. A Pierce County sheriffs deputy spotted a vehicle Most people who hear "new DUI laws" think in terms of the new rule that lowers the threshold of legal intoxication from .10 to .08 blood alcohol con- tent, says Carol Norman, pro- gram coordinator for Mason County Community DUI and Traffic Safety. DUI means driving under the influence, and the state is grow- ing increasingly less tolerant of the practice linked to the majority of serious and fatal traffic acci- dents. The toughening up of the blood-alcohol-level rule is not the only change that affects drivers who drink and drive, says Nor- man. The Washington State Leg- islature passed 13 new DUI laws now being enforced statewide, Norman says. SOME EXAMPLES: * Everyone arrested for DUI will immediately lose his or her driver's license for 90 days. . Repeat DUI offenders must have 60 to 150 days of electronic home monitoring added to the minimum jail sentence. • A repeat offender, or a first- time offender with a blood-alcohol reading of.15 grams per 100 mil- liliters or higher, must install an ignition interlock device in his or her vehicle. This device prevents offenders from driving if there is alcohol on the breath. • Only one deferred prosecu- tion is allowed in a lifetime, as opposed to one every five years as allowed earlier. • When sentencing offenders, courts are required to consider DUI convictions for the past sev- speeding down a residential street. When he pulled the driver over and contacted her at her ve- hicle, he detected the odor of alco- hol on her breath. She denied drinking, but stumbled in a field test. When she was given a breath test, she blew a reading of .09 percent. "If she had been pulled over just minutes earlier," Nor- man noted, "the driver could have been cited for driving while im- paired, but she would not have been considered legally 'drunk.' "The arrest," Norman said, "made an important point. She was under .10, yet she was im- paired. She shouldn't have been driving." MARCH 21, Norman said, marks the first 80 days living with the .08 law. And Norman's task force in Mason County joins lawmakers, law-enforcement officers and ob- servers statewide who hope the new laws will make the roads saf- er places. They hope, says Norman, that people will think of the question that forms their new motto: "The laws are tougher on DUI. Axe you ready to blow it?"
