Law enforcement will conduct extra
DUI patrols in Mason County from Nov.
24 through Jan. 2, 2012: Public educa-
tion combined with. strict enforcement is a
proven method for reducing DUI crashes
and fatalities. However, law enforcement
officers can't do it alone. We all need to
do our part, just as Carol and Frank Blair
are.
The Blairs have made it their mission
to reduce the carnage caused by drunk
drivers. On Feb. 26, 2010, their daughter
Sheena was killed when an SUV moved
into her lane and hit her head-on. The
driver of the SUV had a blood alcohol level
of almost three times the legal limit.
While their grief is enormous, Carol
and Frank are actively working to prevent
drunk driving by leading many efforts to
honor the spirit of Sheena and all other
victims of drunk driving crashes. They
urge every one to do their part this holi-
day season to prevent drunk drivers from
getting behind the wheel.
"Don't let our story become your story,"
said Frank Blair. "Call a cab. Call a friend.
