COUNCIL APPROVES GRANT TO REDUCE UNDERAGE DRINKING STAFF WRITER
IN
$71,479 :
GRANT AWARDED TO CITY OF CHAMPAIGN
an effort to reduce underage drinking, the Champaign City Council approved a Substance Abuse Prevention Program grant totaling $71,479 from the Illinois Department of Human Services. Sgt. Joe Ketchem of the Champaign Police Department said some of the grant money will go toward Unofficial. He said $54,289 was spent on Unofficial last year, and, due to the number of calls for services and problems of the day, Unofficial is an extreme burden on the public safety budgets. The Champaign, Urbana, Parkland College and University of Illinois police departments will use the grant to implement compliance checks and party dispersals. The grant will also go toward offering free TIPS (Training for Intervention ProcedureS) training, expenses related to covert officers, advertising and general management. According to its website, TIPS is a “training program designed to prevent intoxication, drunk driving and underage drinking by enhancing the fundamental ‘people skills’ of servers, sellers and consumers of alcohol.” The grant is valid from July 2014 to June 2015, Ketchem said, but was approved for use on Feb. 3 because of the time it took for the state to review the grant application. Ketchem said the grant will contribute to stopping the service of alcohol to minors. “Our biggest number one problem is the overservice and the blatant service of alcohol to minors,” he said. Community Elements approached the Champaign Police Department three years ago about receiving the grant; it was awarded to them last year and again this year.

WHAT TO DO: • Stop the person from drinking alcohol, and do not leave them alone • Find a quiet place for the person to sit and relax • Do not try to guess someone’s level of drunkenness • Make sure your friend stays warm; a high blood alcohol concentration can lower body temperature • Make sure they lie on their side and place something behind their back to prevent them from rolling over and choking on their own vomit • If they are left to “sleep it off”, they can risk hypothermia, hypoglycemia, irreversible brain damage, seizures and death SOURCE: MCKINLEY HEALTH CENTER AND COLLEGE DRINKING PREVENTION
