Training staff is constantly looking at new ways to fulfill the training requirements for personnel, while <br />always maintaining the operational priority of responding to the emergency needs of the community. The <br />majority of continued education for Eugene's EMT personnel is conducted in-house by the department's <br />EMS Training Coordinator. Additionally, research is being conducted on the possibility of adding on-line <br />training for some of the routine classes to reduce classroom and drill time, and allow for more <br />specialized training. For more information, please contact EMS Chief JoAnna Kamppi at 682-7130. <br /> <br />“Ailey II” Mesmerizes High School Students <br />Last Thursday, 750 high school students sat attentively while the dancers of Ailey II, Alvin Ailey’s second <br />company, showed them what young, world-class dancers can do. Cell phones were quiet and cameras <br />were off. For over an hour, an audience full of teenagers who spend much of their leisure time with <br />techno-toys and blockbuster movies were captivated by a live performance in a quiet theatre. <br /> <br />Since September, Hult Center Programming Manager Carol Philips and programming intern Amber <br />Lunch Dennis have been collaborating with educators to bring the Hult Presents performers to young <br />audiences. Along with advertised ticketed shows in the evening, the Hult Presents series brings free <br />performances by world-class artists to Lane County students. The audience included a high percentage <br />of kids from rural neighborhoods and Network Charter and Crow High Schools each brought their entire <br />student body. The following are just a few of the many comments made by teachers who accompanied <br />their classes to the performance: <br /> <br />—We took care to invite many students who might never attend a Hult event if not for your kind invitation. <br />Please think of us if you have similar events . . . We will show up with a courteous and appreciative <br />group every time. <br /> <br />—Thank YOU and all the good folks who provided us with such a beautiful and inspiring performance at <br />no cost. It was good to meet you this morning. We look forward to future projects. <br /> <br />—Our students came back agog! They said the performance was awe-inspiring. Thanks for making it <br />possible for us to go. <br /> <br />For more information, contact Hult Center Programming Manager Carol Philips at 682-2057. <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 5 <br />March 15, 2007 <br />
