Freshmen exposed to real-life scenerios By COLE BENZ
Record Editor Freshmen Impact is a powerful, one-day event that shows young high schoolers the dangers of drinking, texting while driving, and other peerpressured situations they might encounter as they
navigate through their high school years. On Wednesday, Sept. 14, freshmen from Faith, Macintosh, Lemmon, Bison, Dupree, Newell, Harding County, New England, Scranton, Hettinger, Mott, Timber Lake, and Grant County— about 250-300 students according to Hettinger
guidance counselor Darin Seamands—attended the event. Started by a state trooper and a deputy in South Dakota some time ago, an organization named C.O.R.E. (Community Organized Resources in Educating youth) operates the event throughout
the state. And for the past three years, Lemmon has hosted an event and welcomed other area schools to attend. Northern Plains Coordinator, and state trooper, Chris Goldsmith said the first event featured five schools, now that number is 14.
Goldsmith said this event is different from other awareness-based events in how life like they make it. “We try to make it as realistic as we possibly can,” Goldsmith said. The morning features seven different sessions that include, among oth-
ers, behind the wheel driving with alcohol-impaired like googles, suicide prevention and team building exercises—25 minutes for each session. Following a lunch, the students listen to speaker. This year Keith Johnson, a
