Study shows kids are swearing at a younger age
This might not seem to have any direct correlation to the issue of alcohol, tobacco and drug (ATOD) use, but I think it speaks to the overall moral and family atmosphere in the context of which our youth are growing up nowadays. And this has been shown to be significant with regard to risk and protective factors for ATOD use. One might argue, 'How will kids learn to care about what they put into their mouths if they have no care for what comes out of their mouths?'

GCASA's 2011 funding sources
As GCASA's Executive Director I often get asked where GCASA gets its money. A lot of people mistakenly think we are a county or state governmental agency. GCASA is a private nonprofit agency which has contracts with State and County government but less than 45% of its revenue comes from New York State and less than 1% of its revenue comes from Genesee or Orleans County.
Here is a chart which lists GCASA's funding sources and the percentage of the revenue that that funding stream makes up of the over 4 million dollar budget.
GCASA has four programs: treatment, prevention, residential services, and Employee Assistance. While it serves primarily Genesee and Orleans counties it provides many services to all the counties in Western New York.

DWI in the News
The trial of Ronald J. Wendt, of Alexander, is soon to begin. The Batavian has been tracking the progress of this story since August of last year, when Wendt was accused of manslaughter in the three-car crash that killed 18-year-old Katie Stanley of Dansville.
What has yet to be determined is whether or not alcohol consumption was a factor in the accident. Wendt claims to have had his last beer 15 minutes before the accident occurred.
