'B4 .CASTLEGAR NEWS, November 5, 1980 > SHSS CounterAttack Open letter to parents The following Open Let- ter was submitted by stu- . ‘dents of the CounterAttack ‘program at Stanley Hum- phries’ Secondary School: ‘An Open Letter to Parents: . This is an open letter to ‘parents of all young people ‘everywhere. I am writing in ‘response to some of the ‘questions you ask me daily. I am not one police officer, but every city and town in Can- ticket last summer, but I am lalso the guy who lives down parent of three children and I share with you the same hope, ambition and dreams that you have for your chil- dren. I am faced with the same problems you have. I share. with .you .those mo- ments of agony and ecstasy. I share with you the feeling of ment whem my boy or girl gets into trouble, The scene is a long stretch of highway, with a sharp curve at one end. It has been raining and the roads were slick. A car travelling in excess of 80 mph missed the curve and plowed into an embankment where: it ‘then ‘became airborne and struck a tree. At this point, two of the three young persons were hurled from the vehicle, one into the tree, the other onto the roadway where the car landed on him, snuffing out his life, like a discarded cig- arette on the asphalt, He is killed instantly, and he is the lucky one. The girl thrown into the tree has her neck broken and. although she was voted queen of the senior prom, and most likely to succeed, she will now spend the next 60 years of her life in a wheel- chair. Unable to do anything that terrible moment over. again many times, When I arrive, the car has come to rest on ‘its top, the broken wheels have stopped spin- ning. Smoke and steam pour out of the engine ripped from its mounting by a terrible force. An eerie calm has set- tled over the scene and it appears deserted except for the one lone traveller who called it in. He is sick to his stomach and leaning against his car for support. The driver is conscious but in shock and unable to free himself from under the bent twisted steering col- umn. His face will be forever scarred by deep cuts from boken glass and jagged metal. Those cuts will heal, but the ones inside cannot be fouched by the skilled sur- geon's scalpel. The third passenger has almost stopped bleeding, the seat and his clothing are cov- ered.in blood from an artery cut in his arm by the broken bone end that protrudes from his forearm just below the elbow. His breath comes in gasps as he tries desperately to such air past his blood- filled airway. He is unable to - speak, and his eyes, blue and fixed on me pleadingly, are the only communication that he is terrified and wants my help. I feel a pang of guilt and recognize him as the boy I let off with a warning the other I represent every officer in * the street fromiyou. I am a° shame, guilt and disappoint-. ” ‘details of that night, else, she will live and relive‘ alcoho! in his car. Maybe if I I will not be alone.
