George H. Crosby Manitou : Book Report

I was the first respondent to a girl having a asthma attack. I followed my training to provide assistance while her father brought her inhaler. Another incident that I responded to was a customer having a heat stroke in the hot tub. After activating my emergency action plan (EAP), I positioned the woman on the nearest bench and held an ice pack to the back of her neck to cool her down. The manager extended a water hose with cold water and directed the water to her bottom half. I learn that using the water hose was more effective because it cools down the customer in a shorter amount of time. These experiences have help me to respond to an array of emergencies. Always after an incident I have a tendency to replay the scene in my head and wonder what I could have done differently, which helps me to be better equipped for future emergencies and to identify better prevention methods for other accidents. My best moment of my job is when I help people and I see the gratitude on their faces. I will never forget the parents that thanked me after I pulled their child out the water or the expression on the woman's face when she came back into reality from

Last summer I volunteered to be a camp counselor at a camp in Blowing Rock, North Carolina called Camp Sonshine. This camp is different from others in that they bring children ages 5 to 18 from inner city Memphis, Tennessee to the Appalachian Mountains. This

During the summer before my Freshman year I went to hell and back, and by hell I mean Philmont scout ranch. Just a little background, Philmont scout ranch is 140,117 thousand acres of big rugged, dry, mountainous terrain. I knew what I was getting into, Ever since I joined boy scouts Philmont was regarded as the ultimate scouting experience, so of course i was pressured into that. Eventually summer rolled around and before I knew it I was on a train to New Mexico.

What I did not realize until earlier this year was that maybe for once I was actually the person in need of help. In January of 2016, while working a midnight shift as the shift supervisor, I was on a traffic stop with another officer. During the traffic stop I went to pick up an item on the ground and as I bent over to get the item, I heard that

I left Monday, August 22 because I wanted to witness the gorgeous leaves the redwoods produce before the dawn of autumn. The ride took two days and I arrived on a Friday. California's northern coast is quite far from Illinois, and I wanted to make my way up there by car so I can store the variety of items that I definitely will make good use of in the park. Although, if I was to travel by air, I would fly into Sacramento, the closest major airport. I packed various items to make my trip easier such as my mountain bike on my bike rack and, just in case, a walking stick if no good sticks are around for me to use. The park is on the northern coast of California between two cities by the name of Klamath Glen and Trinidad, going North

On 10/21/2015 SO EMT Perez was dispatched to HS-318 regaurding a general assistance call. SO EMT Perez knocked and announced his presnece at the door and was verbally greeted in by the resident, a Mrs. Netha Hopson. Mrs. Netha Hopson stated that she needed help retrieving her purse because her motorized chair was caught on it and she could not get it untangled on her own. SO EMT Perez managed to untangle the purse and retrieve it for Mrs. Netha Hopson. After insuring that Mrs. Netha Hopson needed nothing else SO EMT Perez cleared the scene without further incident.

4. Were there any employees of O&D Family Campground working at the time of the incident, even if there were no lifeguards? If so, did any of them observe the incident?

During the “backpacking boom” of the 1970s when there was a growing understanding about the natural environment beginning to be consumed at what had appeared to be an alarming rate, many groups of people began to take on the trail for long periods of time. (Cosmo) Trails that were previously only visited by few people because very well known locations. During this time, there was very little maintainance of the trails and even less education of visitors. People were hiking merely to take a break from the world around them. “What was once an experience where solitude was virtually guaranteed, became more and more a social event as more and more of us tried to.” (Cosmo) After some time, many hikers and trail managers grew concerned about the future of the trail and began trying to accommodate the growing number of hikers, while also protecting the Trails natural environment. After starting to upgrade popular campsites and trails to make them more durable, most hikers began to gain knowledge about how to take care of the trails while enjoying them. “Since the 1980’s the AT has been managed so that ‘Hiker regulations will be kept as unrestrictive as possible, and should be developed only to the extent they are proven necessary to protect the physical trail, its environment, and the interests of adjacent landowners.’ (from the Appalachian Trail Comprehensive Plan, 1981)”

Ten thousand years ago, mammoths once inhabited the land we now call home. Where we eat and shop, where we sleep and go to class was once home to these beasts. Standing over fourteen feet tall and with tusks over sixteen feet long these animals found the area now known as Waco their home. I did not know that mammoths even inhabited the Texas, and even more surprised that they lived here in Waco. There are many incredible things that happen here in Waco, and the Waco Mammoth National Park is one of them. This newly sanctioned national park is beautiful and with its incredible history it attracts the attention of thousands of tourists every year. For this park, I analyzed, the quality of the tour and for the tour guide to be informative, if the price of the park is worth the money,

The monograph focuses several Native American religious prophets that inspired the Pan-Indian movement to unify the Eastern Woodland tribes together in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Gregory Evans Dowd argues that the narrative examines the religious practices of the Eastern Woodlands Native Americans. Continuing his argument Dowd states that instead of focusing on a particular “Indian point of view,” the monograph investigates two groups the nativists and accommodationists (Dowd, xxii). The author supports his arguments by using journals, military records, and several primary sources. An instance of one of the primary sources that Dowd uses is Benjamin Hawkins’ Sketch of the Creek Country in the Years 1798 and 1799.

The little league event I was working at was very hot day for everyone. I received a call from Helen regarding that she needed scissors to cut off zip-ties that were holding a canopy that she was told to bring back with Bryson. I had not been informed that Mr.Winn told our ambassadors that he had sent them on their own to go pick up the canopy on their own, without supervision. I was currently watching the game, while keeping my eyes on Amber and Dajah who were policing people from coming inside the baseball area with outside food. When I went to give the scissors to Helen and Bryson, I had notice that the gate was shut to enter the dugout area where they were retrieving the canopy. I had asked them how did they get through the closed gate. They had told me that they had climbed over to get to the other side. At that point when they told me, I felt very concerned because they could have gotten hurt and I had not know where they were because Mr.Winn had got out of his way to use his authority to have our ambassadors complete a task without my supervision or by my word. I told Helen and Bryson to climb back over and not to worry about the canopy anymore because it was to complicated for them to retrieve it. The canopy was also broken and they were using sticks to hold it open. That is also an issue because the ambassadors could hurt themselves trying to take down the canopy and no was there their to help them out because they need 4 people taking down a canopy to hold each

I was a camper here at Mountain Lakes for seven years and each year I enjoyed it more and more. I really enjoyed the camps activities, the staff, other campers and everything about it.

During my spring break I went to Dundee for 3 days with my friends Matt and Chris, and my dad. Dundee is a city that is a few miles away from Detroit. We stayed at a giant Holiday Inn with a water park and an arcade inside of it. Not too far away from the hotel was a beef jerky outlet, a Russell Stovers chocolate factory, and the biggest Cabela’s in the U.S. It was pretty crazy and really fun and I think everyone else enjoyed the trip as well. We also met some friends at the arcade as well. They were pretty cool, but weird enough, they lived in the room directly across from our room. At least I thought it was really weird. But that was basically my spring break trip, and I had a lot of fun during

I had to go back to High Desert Regional Health Center today because I needed to finish my orientation. On our way there, we saw many policies. In the first incident, someone was shot at an apartment building. In the second incident, someone lost control of their truck and ran into some trees. After our exciting drive, we got to High Desert and finished our orientation early. We spent twenty minutes talking in the waiting area by the entrance until it was the end of rotations

As I walk out of the restrooms I see everyone in a circle looking concerned and a man screaming, “Somebody call 911!” I ran off to my boyfriend and asked what was wrong since I could not see the guy. The man on the floor was on cardiac arrest, meaning he had lost heart function. I decided to help because I knew how to do CPR and I was certified. First of all, I tapped on the man’s shoulder and waited for a
