WRONG WAY CORRIGAN I wanted to congratulate you on the promotion of the new IC hybrid
school bus. Tis was a great idea to preview with other hybrid vehicles at the Chicagoland Speedway. Go Green! However, and it may just be me, but it sure seems like your driver in the
photo [page 16, September 2009 issue] is going the wrong way!!! We have a tough enough time trying to promote safety and environ- mentally friendly vehicles without this!
Chris Tomas, American Logistics Santa Ana, Calif.
Editor’s note — Believe us, folks, he was kidding. Just look at the photo.
COMMENTS FROM THE STN BLOGOSPHERE “Restraints in the News,”
www.stnonline.com/go/341 “Restraints — any manual method, physical or mechanical device, mate-
rial, or equipment that immobilizes the ability of an individual to move his or her arms, legs, body, or head freely. It would indeed be a tragedy if this definition of restraint is taken literally. Would child safety seats be consid- ered a restraint device? Let’s hope not, our three- and four-year-olds like the security of their car seats equipped with a five-point harness.” —Anonymous, in response to issue of restraint and seclusion of students to address behavior problems.
