Middle and High School Students Invited to Learn from Aerosol Artist East3 to Create Anti-Meth Murals, March 21-22, 2013

Students took Meth prevention into their own hands today by participating in free “Spray Away Meth” art workshops sponsored by the Hawaii Meth Project and Kauai High School.  The workshops were available to all middle and high school students on Kauai and featured world-renowned aerosol artist East3, who demonstrated his craft and provided the students with instruction on drawing techniques, basic design, and contemporary urban art.  During the workshop students created their own murals centered on anti-Meth themes and messages.  The murals will be displayed at schools around Kauai as an island-wide effort to raise awareness about the dangers of Meth.

LIHUE, KAUAI (HawaiiNewsNow)- Kauai police have arrested a Kapaa resident after the man posted an online video of himself drinking while driving.

Richard Gerald Godbehere, Jr. was arrested on February 22 for Consuming/Possessing Liquor While Operating a Vehicle and Driving Without a License. He has since been released pending an April court appearance.

In the roughly four-minute video, which appears to have been posted in late December, Godbehere pops open a capped beer bottle and proceeds to drink it while driving and speaking into a camera.

"I'm so happy to be drinking and driving," states Godbehere during the video. "We all know drinking and driving is against the law; you're not supposed to do that. But they didn't say anything about driving and drinking," he continued.
