A PAGE 8 THE DALLAS. POST SUNDAY, MAY 19, 2013 smart choices during prom season. ACCIDENT Continued from Page 1 two years, was scheduled to co- incide with the students’ prom which was held Friday night. As students watched the sce- nario unfold, a Lehman Twp. police officer conducted a field sobriety test on the driver while emergency personnel from Back Mountain Regional Fire & EMS were joined by Sweet Valley Vol- unteer Fire Dept., Shavertown Volunteer Fire Dept., Medic 30 and Eli’s Towing who all partici- pated in the program. The “victims” were believ- able, having been made up by members of the school’s theater arts department. Paint was used to symbolize blood and Penny, a “passenger” in one of the ve- hicles, had shards of glass pro- truding from his forehead. Although there was lots of conversation among students during the program, when ques- tioned, most seemed to under- stand the importance of paying attention when driving. “l wouldn't want to put my parents through this,” said Karli Doran as a “victim” (Kendra Stine) was wheeled to a waiting ambulance. Caitlyn Callahan said she could relate to the fear involved in an accident of this magni- tude. “I was in an accident like this. I was T-boned,” she remem- bered. “It was scary being in the ambulance and in the trauma unit, not knowing if there’s in- ternal bleeding. Your life could be gone quickly.” “lI wouldn't want to be in that,” said Ryan Akins, who re- membered being badly injured when he was hit by a car while walking a few years ago. “This helps us learn to drive safely.” BACK MOUNTAIN BOWL Sicilian Pizza » Wings Hoagies and More!

Carolyn Comitz, a kinder- garten student who lives in Dallas, liked seeing the hawk and found the nature part of the trip interesting. Surpris- ingly, the biggest excitement for her was the transportation to the park. “It was my first time riding a bus!” she said. Charlie Letwinsky, also a kindergarten student from Dallas, enjoyed the trip, too. He liked seeing and touching the animal pelts in the nature center. After the hike, Kelchner helped the children make a nature necklace which fea- tured a wooden medallion with a nature picture stamped on it. The afternoon trip came to an exciting close while the children were seated at picnic tables enjoying a snack before returning to the bus. A pair of Canada geese flew into view and landed in the lake in front of the children and joined their family of six goslings. When a student questioned Hopfer as to whether a helicop- ter would be involved in the program, Hopfer responded by saying, “There’s an old saying. Bad news travels by air.” Shortly after, a Life Flight he- licopter landed in the field out- side the school and prepared to transport the critically-injured “patient” to a nearby hospital. With the noise of the chopper as a backdrop, Lake-Lehman teacher Jean Lipski said she was sure students would take some- BILL TARUTIS PHOTOS/FOR THE DALLAS POST Frances Slocum State Park environmental education specialist and park naturalist Kathy Kelchner leads the Wycallis Elementary kindergarteners back from their hike.
