Schools work with local first responders
Honor Society inducts new members
By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE — Area schools and first responders teamed up to raise awareness of drunk and distracted driving. The stage was set on Durant Road in Blue Mountain Lake, where a donated Dodge Durango was positioned in a fronton collision with a tree. Two students each from Indian Lake and Long Lake central schools were also set into positions that they likely would have fallen had the crash been real. Stage makeup was used to create a real life effect for the remaining high school students observing. Forest rangers, Hamilton County Sheriffs, fire and EMS from three communities used the mock accident as a practice in emergency response preparedness. An estimated 50 to 60 people responded to the scene and role played as they would in an actual emergency response. Personnel stated that in Blue Mountain Lake there would be a 12 to 15 minute response time and an approximate 20 minute lead on an ambulance to arrive. Students left the scene of the mock accident and convened at the Adirondack Museum for a debriefing and a mock trial of the vehicle operator. Ò Sending one text will add five points to your license,” said Trooper Cohan of Tupper Lake. Ò If you have one of these offenses in your first six months driving with a conditional license your license is gone. CONTINUED ON PAGE 4
