Last Friday night, about 15 members of Waimea High School's BIONIC (Believe It Or Not I Care) Menehune club teamed up with Kaua'i police at a sobriety checkpoint.

The police Traffic Safety Unit set up the checkpoint at the Russian Fort Elizabeth in Waimea, where the club members were poised to reward motorists who were not drunk or impaired, a news release said.

No one was cited for operating a vehicle under the influence of an intoxicant at the checkpoint, the statement said.

"The students had a great time. They felt like they were really making a difference," said Ginny Hori, the BIONIC Menehune adviser and Peer Education coordinator at Waimea High School, in the statement.

"We're glad they approached us about partnering on this project," said Lt. Mark Scribner, head of KPD's Traffic Safety Unit. "It's nice to have the students support the work we do, which is to keep Kaua'i's roads as safe as possible for the community."
