Just Say “As advertised in the Reminder” Hastings Saturday, April 26, 2014 – Page 47

by Julie MakarewiczStaff Writer

Imagine about 900 highschool students filling thebleachers in a gymnasiumand the only sounds were theoccasional sniffles from stu-dents choking back emo-tions.

Eerily spooky.But that’s what it was like

Thursday afternoon whenThornapple Kellogg HighSchool students wereimmersed in a mock three-car crash with one victimdying at the scene, four moreinjured and one driver arrest-ed for drunk driving.

It was a grim life lessonabout the choices youngpeople face — drinking anddriving and even texting anddriving.

TK High School PrincipalTony Koski said it’s a toughlesson.

“We do this for a coupleof reasons — most impor-tantly to show the realities ofdrinking and driving,” heexplained. “The content isdifficult, but it happens inreal life.”

The three-care crash wasstaged on the service roadbetween the high school andmiddle school. Emergencyservice workers fromThornapple Township,Freeport and Caledoniaplaced a sheet over the onestudent partially ejected and

killed in the mock crash,then cut apart the vehicles toget the other victims out.They strapped the injured tobackboards and loaded themin waiting ambulances whilethe student body watchedfrom the soccer fields.

Meanwhile, a State PoliceTrooper and a Middlevilleofficer from the sheriff’sdepartment administeredfield sobriety tests, thenhandcuffed the drunk driverand placed under arrest.

Once the accident scenewas cleared, students gath-ered in the gym for a mockfuneral and trial.

Beeler-Gores FuneralHome of Middlevillewheeled in a casket whilepictures of high school sen-ior Sydney Krol, who playedthe part of the fatal victim,flashed across a moviescreen.

Joel Strickland, pastorwith Thornapple ValleyChurch Middleville, gave abrief eulogy explaining therewas no explanation for herdeath. “Her life ended waytoo soon,” he said.

Krol’s voice cracked onceor twice as she read a poemto her mother written fromher point of view as she laydying at the accident scene.And her mother, father andbrother were in on the mockdisaster as well, playing therole of the grieving family.

“That was the part that gotme the most, seeing hermom come out at the crashand watching them at thefuneral,” said one studentafter the event.

But it wasn’t just aboutthe life taken. Four victimswith fake bloodied headsand bandages sat in chairs atthe funeral, knowing theywere the ones who survived.And one student was goingto jail for causing the crash.

High school senior GarrettHarris, handcuffed, wasescorted by two police offi-cers into the gym to standbefore Barry County DistrictCourt Judge Mike Schipperand pleaded guilty to hiscrime.

U.S Federal ProsecutorTim VerHey asked for themaximum sentence forHarris, reminding Schipperthat a young life was lost for-ever.

“The maximum of 15years is not enough. It won’tbring Sydney Krol back. It’snot good enough, but it’s allwe can do,” said VerHey.

Schipper admonishedHarris just as would in hisnormal courtroom.

“If you would have calledyour mom or dad, theywould have come to get you.Now you’ve ruined so manylives. Sydney’s gone forever.Do you get that? She’s nevercoming back,” said

Schipper.He imposed the 15-year

sentence, and Harris was ledby police out of the gym.

The mock reality sceneswere over, but students andadults involved wanted tomake sure everyone got themessage.

Krol, with fake blood cov-ering a part of her face,pleaded with the studentbody.

“Make smart decisions.Don’t’ get behind the wheelif you’ve been drinking.Take this to heart and thinkabout it every day. Don’ttake life for granted,” saidKrol.

Harris also asked the stu-

dents to make good choices. “Just think about it.

Nothing is worth taking thelife of a friend,” he said.

Sydney’s mom, LaurieKrol, said initially she didn’tknow if she could handleattending the mock crashand funeral.

“But I thought about it,and it’s such an importantmessage. It was hard,” saidLaurie Krol. “Every parent’sworst nightmare is gettingthat phone call late at nightlearning their child has beeninvolved in a crash.”

Schipper said he wishesmore high schools wouldpresent this kind of message.

“Yes it’s difficult,” he

said. “But it’s real. It’s exact-ly what happens. It’s notover the top and we can’thide from it.”

He said students shouldalso be aware that textingand driving or driving whileunder the influence of mari-juana or other drugs canhave the same impact andconsequences.

TK High School conductsthis type of mock crashevery couple of years aroundprom and graduation season.This year, the entire studentbody was invited to watchthe mock reality scenes. ButKoski said the school staffwas careful before the eventto talk with students they feltmight have difficulty withthe situation. He said no stu-dent was forced to attend theevent.

High school junior LaurenPhan said, even though itwas hard to watch, she wasglad the school had theassembly.

“It really makes youaware of what happens evenif we knew it was all fakehere today,” she said.

Classmate MaddieDeVries agreed.

“It was pretty intense,”said DeVries, “but realistic.”

Laurie Krol left the stu-dents with one last thought.

“Horrible, horrible thingscan happen to really coolkids,” she observed. “Don’tbe stupid. Make good choic-es.

Mock accident at TK includes funeral and trial

Thornapple Kellogg High School students watch emergency service workers freetrapped victims from a mock car crash Thursday afternoon. The mock crash was partof an assembly reminding students about the dangers of drinking and driving and theconsequences of such actions.

Emergency service workers from Thornapple Township, Caledonia and Freeporttake part in the mock crash event Thursday afternoon.

High school senior Garrett Harris played the part of adrunk driver causing the crash that killed a classmate.He is pictured with a Michigan State Police trooper anda Middleville officer from the Barry County Sheriff’sDepartment taking sobriety tests after the crash.
