 Just days before prom, high school students from Cass County watched law enforcement save their classmates in a mock car crash scenario. Students from Walker, Cass Lake Vina and the Cass Lake Area Learning Center watched first responders tend to eight student council members. Every four years the school brings together the event before prom to send a message to students about celebrating responsibly. The event included a surgery scenario where doctors tended to the teens on trauma beds and a body bag was put into the back of a hearse. I lost my two drunk driver and my message to them is I want them to come into my funeral. I don't want to go to theirs. And bottom line is we want these kids to live a great life and grow up to be elders and be great people in our community or across the state. Law enforcement officials from Pike Bay Police, Leech Lake Tribal Police, Cass County Sheriff, Cass Lake Fire, Leech Lake Ambulance and the Minnesota State Patrol as well as Indian Health Services and the Dennis Funeral Home of Walker helped with that event.
