|  Clydesdale MSP Karen Gillon URGES YOU TO .... NOMINATE A LOCAL HERO
Clydesdale MSP Karen Gillon is urging local people to nominate a local hero to represent the constituency at the opening of the Scottish Parliament on 30th June. The MSP is seeking the views of the community before making her nomination to the Parliament. The local hero should be someone from the constituency who has made an important contribution to the lives of people locally or indeed nationally.
The person may be an unseen local hero who has been working away behind the scenes for years or it may be someone who has been in the public eye, whoever you believe deserves the nomination.

| Invisible tags on alcohol bottlesBottles of alcohol which are popular with teenagers are being marked by police with the postcodes of the off-licences which sell them, as part of a pilot project to clamp down on underage drinking. Officers in South Lanarkshire have marked thousands of bottles of drinks such as White Lightning cider and Buckfast with ink invisible to the human eye. When police and neighbourhood wardens catch youngsters drinking, they use ultra-violet lights to identify the marks and verify where the purchase was made. What do you think of this initiative?Will marking bottles solve the problem? How much of a problem is teenage drinking in your area? Have your say on our new discussion board.
