 But good morning, everyone. It's great to be back for the second year to congratulate the finalists of the Phones Down Heads Up PSA Contest. It's encouraging to see so many young Vermonters getting involved and to raise awareness for such an important issue, which is distracted driving. I've said many times, I believe public safety is a primary function of any government. It rises to the top. And it's really our number one responsibility. And as governor, that responsibility stands with me, and I take it very seriously. During 2013 to 2017 in Vermont alone, there were over 950 crashes caused by distracted driving. And nationwide, from 2012 to 2017, nearly 20,000 people died in crashes involving a distracted driver. The use of electronic devices is one of the most common reasons for distracted driving. And too many drivers are doing it. I see it on the road every day. Unfortunately, texting while driving continues to be a significant trend among many, but in particular, younger drivers. In fact, in 2017, 8% of 15 to 19-year-olds killed in crashes were caused by distracted driving. In Vermont, handheld use of electronic devices and texting while driving is illegal. Working to get drivers to act responsibly behind the wheel isn't easy, but we all have a responsibility to do our part and to call on others to do the same. That's why I want to thank all the students who got involved in the PSA event. We need as many tools in the toolbox as we can get to spread the word about the dangers of distracted driving. I appreciate you and your classmates for stepping up and sharing the message as many of you take to the road for the first time. I'd also like to thank the Vermont Highway Safety Alliance and V-TRANS, as well as the Department of Public Safety for their work to keep Vermonters safe. I look forward to awarding the finalists. And now, move that. Thank you. So again, I'd like to welcome you, like Governor Scott said, to the second annual 802 phones down heads up PSA contest. It's really good to look out and see this growing with the attendance this year, up over last year. The Vermont Highway Safety Alliance is a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing crashes on Vermont's highway. I think to kick off the ceremony today, the Vermont Highway Safety Alliance would like to recognize a person who's been a vital member and an inspiration for his work for the media and marketing of the Alliance for many years. Ken Milman from Spike Advertising has been passionate and an invaluable contributor to the branding of the Alliance, setting up our website, social media, and creative as a participant and subject matter expert on our advisory council. In short, giving the Alliance a public face out there. He's a perfect example of someone who combines both professionalism and passion for what he does. Ken contacted the Alliance to help us put a public face on it. He's been committed to the Alliance and embraced and promoted ideas, worked on the PSA, the roadkill series for us, and he's inspired the group to pursue countless other items while we've worked with him. I know I working with him alone has been very excited to have Ken on the working with us and everything. The Alliance owes a great deal to Ken for his work and dedication, and it's in that honor, if you come up, Ken, we'd like to present you an award for excellence in the media and marketing from the Vermont Highway Safety Alliance. Thank you for those. Thank you. All right, we'd really like working with you. Thank you. So to talk a little bit more about the contest, the PSA Awards, the Public Safety Announcement Awards, students were asked to produce a 25-second video on the dangers of distracted driving. We know that young drivers aren't the only one that are texting and driving, but we think who better to produce a video that would actually appeal to their peers, the teens than teens themselves. We launched the contest on January 6th right after the first of the year. Six sponsors agreed to donate some money to help fund the prizes. We'd like to thank some of them, Cooperative Insurance, AAA of New England, Yankee Driving School, the Consultant on Police Services, and Mid-State Dodge. In total, 30 entries from Vermont and the region submitted. We had some extremely strong submissions, so it's really good to see on the second year that we're getting more students involved in this. 12 judges carefully reviewed all of these submissions, and we want to really thank them for their time. We've got a list up here on the screen of who helped us judge these. In the end, 12 of these videos really surfaced up at the top, and we're recognized as the finalists for some excellent work. I think what I would like to do is, and with the Governor's help, start recognizing the finalists and move on through honorable mention and on to the actual winners. So for finalists, we'll be giving you a certificate recognizing the work you did, a $10 gift card to go out and grab some lunch with. So if you're here and you could come up and everything, I haven't had a chance to meet all of you. Linda Ricard and Kaley Bennett from Windsor High School. All right. I want everyone to see them. Yeah, let's just say I have a few. Can you call them all up? Yeah, so why don't I call them all up then, so we'll go through that way. So Keelan Rooney from Hanover High School, CJ McDermott and Aaron Trombly from Champlain Valley Union High School. Congratulations. We've got Maddie Muskinsky and Sophia Howe from White River Valley High School, and Emily Calkins and Danny Collette with a VSP Explorer close to 446 from the Mount Anthony Union High School. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. Congratulations. I also want to give some really honorable mentions. A $25 gift card. Ian Goldberg from Woodstock High School, Michelle Townsend from Windsor High School, and Gregory Torbert from Northwest Technical Center. We also, this year, had the People's Choice Award. It's a special category given by the Youth Safety Council. If Jim's here, I think he'll be right behind me there. I think Jim, I'll let you do this one. On behalf of the Youth Safety Council of Vermont and as a random Vermonter, I want to say thank you to Kaylee and to our other contestants and winners for reminding us all that we're a community that cares about one another and respects each other by having each other's backs and sharing messages like these videos. So I'm proud of the good energy that's gone into sharing this message. And Kaylee Green, are you here? Our award, the People's Choice Award, is going to Kaylee Green, who earned, come on over. Almost 500 votes for her video. So this is truly a People's Choice Award. And I'm honored to present this to you. As well as, check for $500, surprise. So congratulations. Thank you. Thank you so much. So what I need to do is start now with third place. I'm sure you'll recognize your video. I'll read out the name so you can start to come up and everything. So if we can roll the video for the third place and we have Emily Gamal and Emma Newman from Hanover High School. In second place with a $500 award sponsored by Cooperative Insurance. If we can roll the video, we have Colt Glomowski and Lee Swann from Essex High School if they're here. And I guess what we've been waiting for in first place is $750 award that's been sponsored by Midstate Dodge, the Vermont Highway Safety Alliance and the Consultant on Police Services. If we can show a lot in Jones video from Green Mountain Valley School. A text or a life, your choice. All the students that participated, we had a really great turnout this year and hopefully this event will keep growing every year and everything. It's been exciting to see it grow over the first two years. So again, I wanna thank all the students, the judges, the sponsors, the committee and everybody that helped put this together. I think what we'll do real quick if we can is maybe get a little area cleared out here and we'll get a picture with the award winners and everything. So thank you everybody.
