FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 2, 2002 SANDY VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL JOINS CROSSING TO SAFETY™ TO DEVELOP RAILROAD SAFETY PRESENTATION FOR OHIO'S HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO SAVE LIVES Canal Fulton, Ohio --The Angels on Track Foundation™, working directly with its newly appointed education director for Crossing To Safety™, Dr. Harvey A. Levine, will present a one day presentation entitled, "Ohio's Dangerous Railroad Crossings -- A Lesson Unit on How to Save Lives" on Monday, May 20th at Sandy Valley High School. Sandy Valley Local Schools Principal Nicki Howard, and faculty members Edward Lidderdale and James Rarric expressed interest in adopting this lesson plan as part of their yearly curriculum. History, economics, physics, mathematics, government (civic) and art classes are challenged to participate. The lesson plan is flexible in that teachers can choose among one, two, or three classroom sessions. The Lesson Plan is based on a balanced education message -- one that recognizes that "Bad Crossings Kill Good Drivers"™ not just inappropriate driving by motorists. Understanding that Ohio's
new and prospective drivers will face pressures at railroad crossings
not associated with traditional highway driving, and the fact that
approximately half or (2,725) of Ohio's public railroad grade crossings
are marked only with "informational"
signs, Trustees of the Angels on Track Foundation want to stress safety.
This newly developed education program explains in detail the vast variety
of dangers associated with railroad crossings in Ohio and across the
United States. http://www.angelsontrack.org/050202.html
