The Madison Catholic Herald

MADISON -- Wisconsin Public Television will air the season premiere of "Teen Connection" at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15.

"Teens and Inhalants" will shed some light on the "silent epidemic" of using common household products such as glue, Freon from air conditioners, hair spray, felt-tip markers, and other items for purposes other than their intended use.

Laurie Culp of Sister Bay will be featured in the program. Last year, her 24-year-old son Aaron died of an overdose. He inhaled butane from a cartridge used to refill cigarette lighters and, Culp reports, it may have been the very first time he tried this method of getting high."

Viewers from around the state may participate in the live discussion by calling 877-988-2888. Trained volunteers will staff the phone banks, help some callers, and refer selected calls for on-air discussion.
