Got chocolate milk?

By The Globe, 11/28/2001

ccording to a survey conducted on progressive.com, the Web site of Progressive Insurance, a huge majority (87 percent) of Americans plan to travel by car, rather than plane, train or bus, over the holiday season. Most will go to family and friends.

Most respondents said they are more likely to drink and drive after a family gathering than at any other event.

The survey, conducted on the Web site from Sept. 17 to Oct. 29, found that 91 percent plan to visit family over the major holidays.

Asked about an event they would be likely to drink at and drive from during the holidays, the response was: family gatherings, 12 percent of respondents; friends' parties, 11 percent; New Year's Eve parties, 9 percent.

The results followed a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report that traffic deaths in alcohol-related crashes had risen by 4 percent from 1999 to 2000, while driving deaths attibuted to most other causes had declined. According to the survey, 29 percent of respondents said they had driven after drinking during the holidays, even though they were designated drivers, while 79 percent said they knew of friends who had been acting as designated drivers during the holidays, but who drank and drove anyway.

A peace pipe goes

to Crazy Horse

CRAZY HORSE, S.D. - A peace prayer pipe that belonged to a survivor of both the Battle of the Little Big Horn in 1876 and the Wounded Knee massacre in 1890 has been presented to the Indian Museum of North America at the Crazy Horse Memorial.

Dewey Beard, a Lakota elder, was a boy when warriors under Crazy Horse defeated Custer's 7th Cavalry at Little Big Horn. Beard belonged to Big Foot's band of Minniconjou Lakota.

Beard was wounded twice, and seven members of his family were among hundreds of American Indians killed by the 7th Cavalry at Wounded Knee in 1890.

One of Beard's friends, Bob Lee of Sturgis, presented the pipe to the museum. He is a retired newspaper editor, historian, and author. Beard's family gave him the pipe after he died in 1955. Lee displayed the pipe at home for years.
