Red Cross official Duane Hawk applies "injury makeup" to Angie Himes who was one of two runaway students lost in the woods.
Comedian Jeff Notworthy (Colton Dunlap) cracked the crowd up with his Red-Neck jokes and his laugh chopped with snorts. (His teeth were pretty funny too).

'Mock' school disaster, Emergency personnel cope with over 20 injured children
"There's none better!"
That's what the Red Cross official, Duane Hawk of Kalispell, had to say when the exercise ended Sunday, according to Joyce Himes of the Condon QRU.
Emergency personnel from the Condon QRU, the Swan Valley Volunteer Fire Department, the Seeley Lake QRU, Swan Mission Search and Rescue, Black Paw Avalanche and Rescue Dogs and hospital helicopters from Kalispell and Missoula all were the recipients of this praise after a "mock" disaster drill in which over 20 school children were injured in a collision with a logging truck.
Hawk and Ebbie Allison had applied makeup to some 21 children simulating injuries of varying severity. There were some "dead on arrivals," the "walking wounded" and the critically injured.
Emergency personnel were scored on how fast they arrived at the scene, how they dealt with simulated problems like leaking gasoline and two runaway children in shock, and how quickly and thoroughly they stabilized the seriously injured while awaiting ambulance and helicopter assistance.
The volunteer children playing the role of injured at the scene were:
Boone and Cody Jensen, Angie and Aaron Himes, Lisa Parker, Jack and Shana Maloughney, Phillip and Marlie Brown, Wendie White, Travis and Shappa Baker, Matt Raible, Brandon Seaman, Robert and Amber Ekstedt, Stacy Holmes, Jesse Richter, Justin and Jessie Shoup, and Leslie Robbins.
Dave Nebel played the injured bus driver.

So you want to be a celebrity? Created by eighth grade class at Seeley Lake Elementary School
This year's eighth grade play was produced by the students with their "unique personalities" in mind, Director Mrs. Sharon Teague said.
"The group created a comedy based upon the popular TV show 'American Idol,'" Teague said. "Students auditioned for positions on the panel of judges and for the roles of the hosts and greenroom personalities."
"The balance of the class members invented and choreographed their own acts, designing them to highlight their individual talents."
"The end result was a hilarious comedy portraying what might happen if a big name talent search came to a small town in Montana looking for their next celebrity."
The play wasn't an ordinary script. It was a wonderful display of wit and humor with some pretty incredible dancing routines. Thanks Seeley Lake eighth graders for a wonderful performance.
