Bill Paterson, project director at the Coastal Healthy Communities Coalition, part of UNE's College of Osteopathic Medicine, was interviewed by Fox News regarding a video produced concerning the tragic consequences of teen drinking and driving:  http://www.myfoxmaine.com/news/maine/93268839.html

Paterson is one of the executive producers of the film, titled "Point of No Return," which was aided by a grant from Coastal Healthy Communities Coalition.  The film was released last week in advance of proms and graduations statewide, and plans are to distribute it more broadly throughout Maine and perhaps nationally.  The film was also promoted on WGME-13's Daybreak and in area newspapers.
