 Don Taylor will be the standard bearer for the Republican Party in House District 17B. Taylor, the Chisago City mayor, won his party’s endorsement at the District 17 Convention Saturday in North Branch.

He topped Wyoming Mayor Sheldon Anderson, Taylors Falls resident Warren Nelson and Lindstrom resident John Stignani for the endorsement. Anderson, who earlier hinted he may force a primary contest, said this week he will abide by the party decision. Anderson said he will consider a bid for a third two-year term as mayor.

As an effort to demonstrate the negatives alcohol-related traffic deaths, students at Forest Lake High School will take part in the annual Ghost Out on Thursday, April 17. The Ghost Out is part of the school’s alcohol and drug awareness program aimed at teenagers because traffic crashes are the number one killer of teens and more than one-third of teen traffic deaths are alcohol related, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Students will distribute literature concerning teenage drivers with the brochures to include facts on the hazards and consequences of operating a vehicle while under the influence and importance of wearing safety belts. The Ghost Out also involves a student dressed as the “Grim Reaper” who stalks the hallways of the school and selects 15 “victims" who represent the average number of people killed in alcohol or drug-related crashes during a school day.
