Page 16 THE VILLADOM TIMES IV • May 5, 2010 Twelve Ramsey teens were recently given the opportunity to be trained in emergency life-saving skills as part of the Ramsey Police Department’s leadership program. Participants included Eric Buser, Steven Kopack, and Ken Major from the high school. They trained alongside Mary Assile, Aidan Fine, Kasey Kelly, Thomas Stacey, Sarah Stacey, Victoria Thomas, Evan Thomas, Grace Turso, and Mike Turso from Smith School. The seven-hour block of instruction included role playing and hands-on scenarios, where the trainees were shown what to do in the critical first few minutes of an emergency. Among other things, the kids learned how to perform adult, child, and infant CPR; how to identify and save a Twelve Ramsey students gain life-saving skills choking victim; and how to splint and sling a broken bone. They learned how to stop bleeding, and how to use an external defibrillator to shock heart attack victims back to life. They also learned how to protect the victim and themselves while awaiting the response of an ambulance. The Leadership Program is being run as an adjunct to the department’s anti-substance abuse program. Each of the teens involved has been a volunteer at Ramsey’s DARE events, where they work alongside adult members of the community. “I think the program has a lot of potential,” said Officer Tim Shoemaker. “The training puts essential skills into the hands of our volunteer staff. At the same time, it’s a nice boost for their resumes.” Michael Turso practices chest compressions while his sister Grace delivers rescue breathing.
