Last week, The Incline Boosters Club hosted the powerful “Every 15 Minutes” program at Incline High School. This two-day event challenges students to confront the harsh realities of impaired and distracted driving. Adopted nationwide, the program encourages teens to think critically about personal safety and responsibility, with the goal of reducing risky behaviors and promoting safer choices behind the wheel.
The event began with a simulated crash scene on campus, involving local law enforcement, emergency responders, and student actors portraying the accident. The dramatic reenactment included a mock fatality, a DUI arrest, and the emotional reactions of students, parents, and first responders. This visual and emotional experience was designed to leave a lasting impression on the students, prompting them to reflect on the potential consequences of impaired or distracted driving.
The second day of the program featured an assembly where students heard from speakers and individuals personally affected by impaired driving incidents and watched a video simulating the aftermath. The testimonies underscored the real-life impacts of such decisions and reinforced the program’s message about the importance of making responsible choices behind the wheel.
The community’s support and involvement were crucial to the success of the event, highlighting the collective effort needed to address this critical issue. The program was made possible by the Incline Boosters Club and donors to the 2024 Fund-A-Need. The Executive Director of the program and the film, Tara Cannon collaborated with Orange Tree Productions, local first responders and community members including: the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office, North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District, Care Flight, Renown Children’s Hospital, Walton Funeral Home, Washoe County Regional Medical Examiner’s Office and Incline Village Judge Mangiaracina.
On June 12, the community will be invited to watch the premier screening of the film, ”Journey of Consequences”. More details, including times and ticket distribution, will be communicated soon. For more information, contact: tara.cannon347@gmail.com.
