Public Safety Officials Present 16th Annual Mock Impaired Driving Crash

On Friday morning, May 25, 2012 at 9:00 AM local and state public safety officials will present a mock impaired driving fatal crash to senior students and staff at our Dennis Yarmouth Regional High School located at 210 Station Avenue in South Yarmouth.

The mock crash is a collaborative effort between the students and staff of Dennis Yarmouth Regional High School and the Fire and Police Departments of Yarmouth and Dennis as well as members of the Massachusetts State Police.

This is the 16th annual event—spearheaded since its inception by retired Yarmouth Fire Department Lieutenant Paul Holmquist—is part of a series of campaigns throughout the school year designed to send a powerful message of the dangers of alcohol and other drug use.

The event will feature a mock fatal motor vehicle crash with two vehicles provided by Silver Cloud Towing of South Yarmouth positioned as if they just collided. Police and Fire officials will respond to the scene and discover multiple crash victims in need of emergency medical treatment. The offending driver will be arrested and the fatality transported in a hearse provided by the Hallett Funeral Home of South Yarmouth.

After the scene is cleared a presentation and discussion session with students and staff and various public safety officials including members of the Yarmouth Police Department Traffic Enforcement Task Force and the Cape and Islands District Attorney’s Office will follow in the school auditorium.

The crash scene will not affect traffic on Station Avenue and the entire event will take place on the grounds of Dennis Yarmouth Regional High School.

I AM A WARRIOR!

I AM A WARRIOR!
I AM A WARRIOR — by Jon F. Hooper I stand with God. I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can’t. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the downtrodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, for I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy, For now, I stand with God!
