BETTERS TO THE EDITOR A point to ponder about moving clocks Dear Editor, I have a point for you to pionder. When you move your clocks forward, I have a pet peeve ... called "stupidity," which is flipping clocks. Some like daylight in the a.m. Some like daylight in the p.m. So why do we have DST? Just to complicate matters and to please our politicians. That is of course my opinion. I feel sorry for our farm animals (especially milk cows) that can't adjust like humans. I have asked many people what they think of DST. Most think it is stupid. Please spend 44 cents and a few minutes of your time and write your U.S. Representative, if you think I am right to stop this nonsense. Royal Rock, Elkhart Avoid alcohol at teen parties Dear Editor, From proms to graduations, teens have plenty of reasons to celebrate this time of year. But no matter what the reason for celebrating, help keep the occasion safe for everyone by making sure alcohol isn't part of your teen's party plans. Parents play an important role in helping teens make smart decisions, including choices related to alcohol. According to the 2008 GfK Roper Youth Report, the majority of youth—7l percent of 13- to 17-year-olds—say parents are the No. 1 influence on decisions about whether they drink alcohol or not. At Tippecanoe Beverages, we're parents too, and we share the same concerns as every other parent about these issues. That's why we distribute free copies of Family Talk About Drinking, which encourages parents to talk with their children about underage drinking. In addition, our Prevent Don't Provide program reminds adults that supplying alcohol at teen parties is never a good idea. To help prevent alcohol sales to minors, we also provide retailers with 1.D.-checking materials and training to help them serve and sell alcohol responsibly. Thanks to law enforcement and these kinds of community-based programs, we're making progress in the fight against underage drinking. According to the 2009 Monitoring the Future Study, the eighth grade past-month drinking rate is at a record-low level, declining 41 percent since tracking began in 1991, and high-school senior drinking is down 13 percent since 2000. We can all do our part this prom and graduation season to help keep celebrations safe. Frederick K. Zahrt, president Tippecanoe Beverages
