Working City segments air on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings, as well as before the start of <br />3 <br />each regular Eugene City Council meeting on Monday evenings. <br /> <br />Eugene Springfield Fire responds to over 100 <br />sudden cardiac arrest calls annually. It is proven <br />that the best chance of survival for a patient is <br />having the cardiac arrest witnessed by someone <br />who will do compression-only CPR until <br />Emergency Medical Technicians arrive. The <br />ACT: C program focuses on teaching <br />3 <br />compression-only CPR. The program is a call to <br />action, hence ACT and C stand for Call, Check, and Compress. In this Working City episode, firefighter Josh Moore shows <br />3 <br />how to perform compression-only CPR and shares that the Fire Department is collaboratively working with local partners <br />to increase awareness of sudden cardiac arrest and what the public can do to help in an emergency. <br /> <br />To view the episode online, go to the City’s home page, http://vimeo.com/82567265, and click on the YouTube link to go to <br />the City’s YouTube channel.

The article by Melissa Hart that appears in the January 2014 edition of <br />Horizon is called, “A Life of Adventure” with the subtitle, “Dogsledding Brings <br />Insight to Outdoor Enthusiast.” <br /> <br />The “Mt. Bachelor Dogsled Tour” is one of many winter activities Eugene <br />Recreation offers for adults age 18 and older. Recreation also offers a variety of <br />outdoor activities for families and those over 50. <br /> <br />In the article, Hart explained that she has been a lifelong adventure-seeker, but <br />after turning 40 she wondered if her adrenalin-seeking days were over. Then, a <br />friend invited her to experience Eugene Recreation’s dogsledding activity. On <br />the bus ride over the pass, Hart noticed a 93-year-old participant which led her <br />Photo by Oregon Trail of Dreams <br />to conclude that she would be enjoying adventures for many years to come. <br /> <br />Read the entire article on page 74 of the magazine.
