Scaring up donations for SADD

When it comes to being scary, Guy Turcotte and his family are experts. For nine years the Turcottes have been frightening their fellow citizens for good causes with Halloween displays, and have donated more than $15,000 to charity.

When it comes to being scary, Guy Turcotte and his family are experts.

For nine years the Turcottes have been frightening their fellow citizens for good causes with Halloween displays, and have donated more than $15,000 to charity.

In recent years the profits of fright have been directed to John Paul II Collegiate's SADD (Students against Drinking and Driving) chapter, and Guy Turcotte says that is the chosen charity again for proceeds from this year's haunting.

Everything scary will be assembled at 1907 Foley Drive in North Battleford and open to the public starting at 4 p.m. and will continue spooking until around 10:30 p.m.

Donations to the SADD chapter will be accepted, and those contributing more than $10 will be issued a tax receipt.

"One hundred per cent of the money raised will stay in North Battleford to help build a better community through our youth," Turcotte says.

"They (SADD) are a great bunch of kids and we love to help them out."

The students attended the SADD Saskatchewan's provincial conference Oct. 21 to 23 and this year's scary donation will assist them with those expenses and other activities throughout the year.

One keynote speaker at the provincial conference was Shayne Stoll. He lost his best friend the year they were to graduate. With over 20 years as a speaker and 200 presentations he has touched the lives of countless people about the reality of and hazards of drinking and driving.

Dwayne Hoeving also spoke. He lost his daughter to a drunk driving accident and spoke to students about how drunk driving affects all the people involved and how lives change.
