The anti-drinking and drug message while driving will be demonstrated for Fieldstone Secondary School 9th-graders with two mock car crashes on Tuesday at the West Ramapo Road campus.
The volunteer victims will be covered in red – for blood – and trapped inside a crushed car, requiring firefighters to cut open the vehicle. A medical helicopter will land to show how personnel transfer the victims to the hospital. And capping off the lesson will be a Hearst carrying the casket with the victim(s) to the cemetery for burial.
And Fieldstone School Resource Officer Henry Sirakovsky is looking for volunteers, preferably students, to spend time in the casket.
The hour-long simulated crash and responses is to emphasize to students the dangers of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol – and an general message not to drink and use drugs in ny case. Some schools have left a crushed car on the campus as a message.
The mock crash at Fieldstone will be held at 9:50 a.m. and again with a second car at 1:05 p.m. Sirakovsky, who will moderate, organized the mock crash with school officials and Students Against Destructive Decisions. And the rain date is Thursday.

The system worked, though there were some bumps along the way.
A Haverstraw runaway, Kimberly Escobar, 16, was found and back with her family, as of Saturday. Her mother reported her missing on Jan. 2, after she left home on Dec. 24.
Escobar was found, police say, because a cabbie recognized her face from missing posters distributed on Friday by the Sheriff’s Department C.A.R.E. program and the Haverstraw police. C.A.R.E stands for “Computer Aided Rescue Effort”:http://www.co.rockland.ny.us/Sheriff/missing/children.htm
Upon seeing the poster on Friday, the cab driver called the police and told them he remembered driving the teenager to Northvale, N.J., police said. Haverstraw police then contacted their counterparts in Northvale. Officers went to the house and found the girl.
The CARE program sent out a missing person flier on Friday to more than a 1,000 targets in the region including law enforcement, hospitals, merchants, post offices, emergency service providers, and transportation centers and providers like cab companies, said Officer Walter Famular, who oversees the C.A.R.E. program.
Famular had been working with Haverstraw Detective Sgt. John Salter and Detective Charles Hatala.
Since police determined Escobar had run away from home because of arguments with her mother over her following household rules, no criminal charges were filed.
