On Friday December 19th student members of Watervliet Students Against Destructive Decisions (W.S.A.D.D.) went silent in solidarity to protest the death or permanent injury of one teen every 17 minutes due to an alcohol related car crash. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that one out of every 23 drivers on the road at any given time is *impaired (2007).

Throughout the day, every 17 minutes, a W.S.A.D.D. member wearing a special sweatshirt and make-up put their hood up and went silent.
