Graduation safety

Area high schools are saying their goodbyes to the class of 2009. Washington County Sheriff Jerry Dunbar says it's an exciting time, but also needs to be safe. He says area residents and graduates each need to do their part. Washington is one of the first counties to enact a social host ordinance. It provides penalties for anyone who knowingly allows minors to drink alcohol on their property. Washington's graduation ceremony is tomorrow (5/24) afternoon at 1:30 at the high-school varsity gym.
