Ghost Out - 2012 dramatizes worst case DUI consequence Event conducted April 16, 2012, as Prom Night, Graduation approaches Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) Adair County High School (ACHS) students participated in the "Ghost Out" program on Monday, April 16, 2012. "Ghost Out" is a tri-annual event conducted close to prom to increase student awareness about the devastating consequences that driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs or distracted driving as in texting can have. Our Adair County Ambulance Service personnel, Coroner's Office, Department of Transportation, Law Enforcement, Grissom Martin Funeral Home and faculty and staff of ACHS worked together under the guidance of Amber Whittle, Somerset Office District 8 office of the KY Department of Transportation, as she directed 15 students in the Ghost Out program. We wish to extend a special thanks to Curtis Grant and Tony Grider for portraying our Grim Reapers, Jennifer Myers and Brent Campbell for reading the obituaries and Rev. Steve Martin for delivering the message during the program. As he stated during his talk, "If just one of you (800 students) makes the right decision about not drinking and driving or not using drugs and driving, then this "Ghost Out" has been successful." We also thank the 15 students who played the victims during the program: Natalie Bertram, Kyndal Caldwell, Wes Compton, Easton Ellis, Danielle Foster, Cory Greene, Jack Hobbs, Kayla Holmes, Zack Hutchison, Heather Jackson, Tyler McGaha, Derrick Miller, Abby Royse, Cally Wilson and G Young. Ellen Zornes, coordinator of the event said, "We so greatly appreciate our community and its willingness to help our youth. Without them and their dedication to our kids, these vital life saving awareness programs wouldn't be possible." - Ellen Zornes This story was posted on 2012-04-19 09:13:22
