Suffolk County Assistant District Attorney Brendan Ahern conducted a
presentation on choices and consequences, an educational program on
drunk, drugged and other reckless driving situations to Shoreham-Wading
River High School students.
Introduced by Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy Sini and student
Arianna McMorris, the 90-minute program’s message portrayed the
importance of safe driving, good judgment, healthy decision making and
arranging alternative plans for transportation if a person feels that
they are in an uncomfortable or unsafe situation. The dynamic
presentation was culminated by a presentation by Arianna’s parents John
and Alisa McMorris, who spoke of the alleged drunk driver who struck and
killed their son Andrew last fall while he was walking on the side of
the road with boys from his Boy Scout troop. Their presentation was a
loving tribute to honor Andrew’s legacy and a call to action to the
students to help harness the power for effective changes in safe driving
situations.
