DARE is a positive programme

I live in the US and have close family ties in the Caymans so read your newspaper to keep up with what's happening there. I felt the need to write following comments published in last Friday's (9 June) Bracker editorial about the DARE program on Cayman Brac. I've knowledge of the DARE program both in the US and the Cayman Islands by my son & kids of friends & family taking part in it.

Its a very positive thing and everyone I know who have had children take part feel the same way. It is saddening to read the editorial.

I'm referring to the long list of negative remarks made concerning the DARE program and the efforts by the RCIPS to bring it to our children.

I have one question: if the DARE program is trash as you believe then tell us, what is your alternative solution? Oh, I'm sorry, it is clear you don't have one, otherwise you'd have suggested it.

Take a Drive on the Wrong Side of the Road With Humorist and New ...

Texas humorist Diana Estill releases her first book, Driving on the Wrong Side of the Road (Brown Books Publishing). This compilation of 55 amusing tales recently earned a four-star review from ForeWord Clarion reviews.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) May 25, 2006 -- To get where you want to go, sometimes you have to change course. That message was driven home for Texas author and newspaper columnist Diana Estill when she vacationed in Grand Cayman, where cars keep left—and tourists frequently forget. In her first book, Driving on the Wrong Side of the Road: Humorous Views on Love, Lust, and Lawn Care (Brown Books Publishing Group, Inc.), the author shares her admittedly skewed views on everything from foreign car rentals to designer dogs and toilet repairs. The book, which hilariously details the experience of driving a British "Beanmobile" in the left lane, is scheduled for release June 10, 2006.
