12 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Dallas, PA Thursday,May 30, 2002 Accident (continued from page 1) las High School nurse Laura O'Malley, said the support from the school and community, as well as his interest in Emer- gency Medical Science helped make the project a success. “The local community rescue personnel have been incredibly supportive. A lot of these volun- teers took time off work to be here,” said O'Malley. “Danny or- ganized the whole thing. He did a terrific job.” The scene was a two-vehicle accident with one victim thrown through the windshield. That victim was pronounced “dead” at the scene. The second victim was extracted from the vehicle with the Jaws of Life. She was transported to the Life Flight he- licopter by ambulance. The stu- dents, Student Council Presi- dent John Pambianco and Erica Swatko, were made up to look like real accident victims. The accident was staged the day before the Dallas High School junior/senior prom in hopes of making an impression on the young drivers. The stu- dent body walked by the fake accident scene before rescue ve- hicles arrived with sirens blar- ing, and watched from the bleachers while Dan explained each step of the process. : Dan, son of Sebastian and Jean Piccillo of Wyoming, spent the last several months organiz- ing the event. He made the arrangements for members of Dallas Fire Department, Kunkle Fire and Ambulance Depart- ments, Franklin-Northmoreland Township Ambulance, Medic 12, Dallas Police, and officer Frank Ziegler and the DARE vehicle to participate in the exercise. This marked the first time that Life Flight 3 out of Avoca had been involved with an exer- cise at the school. In order to have the Life Flight helicopter participate, Dan made arrangements for the whole school to attend the demonstration. He also made sure that other schools on the Dallas campus were aware of the exercise beforehand. “When Dan/first came to me to discuss this project, I didn’t think it would be as involved as it was,” said Dallas High School principal | Frank Galicki. “This means a lot to the kids. They're seeing the local volunteers here, and it helps them to understand that this is something that could happen. Hopefully it won't, but it could.” O'Malley agreed. “I hope this made some sort of impression on the kids,” said O'Malley. “And I hope we don’t need to re-enact this for real af- ter the prom.” Dan, an Eagle Scout with Troop 155, has been a volunteer EMT with several area ambu- lance companies.

What I do has no factor on what other people are doing, and what could happen to me as a result of someone else.” Dallas High School April Students of the Month honored oth ns The April Student of the Month Winners were honored at a recent assembly at Dallas High School.
