With the school year winding down,
students are getting a reminder from some Minnesota celebrities to
buckle up when they hit the road this summer.


      Radio personalities and athletes have recorded messages for
school public-address systems, reminding students to wear seat
belts.


      Comedian Louie Anderson, Twins player Nick Punto, Lynx player
Lindsay Whalen, Wild player Derek Boogaard and Jim Kleinsasser of
the Minnesota Vikings are among those recording messages.


      The Minnesota Department of Public Safety is getting the
reminder to students before the summer driving season, when teen
traffic deaths rise.


      Participating schools include Blaine, Chanhassen, Coon Rapids,
Lakeville South, Mankato West, Winona and Stillwater. All high
schools are invited to download the message online.
