Simpson rapped for Time quote sparks council debate
The Medicine Hat Police Commission, in a report to City Council, said teenage drinking is a problem though not over exaggerated. It criticized Alderman Peter Simpson for misrepresenting Time magazine and noted dropouts and graduates show higher risk. The commission outlined findings from welfare talks and meetings with 13 high school students, concluding most teens drink only experimentally while a small minority drink excessively, a group largely comprising school dropouts or graduates not yet integrated into adult life.
