Nevada Union High School- Selena Magdaleno

Nevada Union High School students train to assist in face of emergency

In Nevada Union High School there teaching them to know there's procedures in place for these kinds of events for they can know what there doing. Patti carter told all the students to gather in the gym she was demonstrating her point she used a textbook and showed students how to use a book to splint a broken wrist.
     It's a 20-hour all risk training that teaches students how to prepare for and respond to emergencies. The CERT program was first developed in Los Angeles in 1985. The program for the high school was about five years ago by Chris Espedal he is the safety and School climate coordinator of the high school.
      It's at no cost the high schoolers volunteer for the training and it covers variety of topics. They learn how to use basic first aid, control bleeding of an injury or treat patient for shock, they learn how to put out small fires, search and rescue duties also collect information to report authorities. The training is a useful experience for students interested in career law enforcement or fire or medical service. "It's important to plan for and know how to react if an emergency were ever to take place in Nevada county" -Leo Zilm

Eyes on the Prize - Jacob Greifer

Eyes on the Prize overall was a very moving documentary that highlighted the African American struggle for civil rights and the ugliness in our country's history. The part that stood out to me the most was the trial of Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam. It was very saddening and angering to see how unjust the decision of the court was by ruling them innocent. In my opinion, it was easy to know that they had murdered Emmett Till, but it seemed even easier for the court to rule that they hadn't, simply because of race. This illustrated the raging racism in the south, and how far people would go to keep the system intact.

5 ways to use social media for better emergency response By: Brean Morris

Technology has changed how many things are used today for example emergency response. People are starting to take to social media for ways to contact for emergency, for example people would go to Facebook or other social medias to reach out to the police if a regular 911 call would work. Technology is being used to reach a wider audience a way to better an emergency response. The San Francisco´s emergency management agency are taking to YouTube disseminate information about emergency preparedness, they also take to twitter to issue public warnings. Technology is also helpful for emergency response because they can send out alerts through anything electronic as an amber alert which is very helpful for getting information out there for crisis. I agree with these ways to use technology for getting responses other then dialing 911 because people use technology a lot so getting those alerts out there is very useful.

Jaysun Calhoun

This article is about students in Nevada who are learning how to treat injured victims with everyday materials. They are taught on how to treat a broken wrist with a textbook and how to make sure if they are first responding to a scene they have to make sure the scene is safe and calm things down that way it would be easier for the paramedics to come and help treat the patients. The CERT program was first developed in Los Angeles in 1895 . The CERT stands for community Emergency Response Team and students were taking part of the this program. In this program students learn how to administer basic first aid, control the bleeding of an injury or treat a patient for shock. They also learn how to put out small fires put out search and rescue missions, collect data and response to medical emergencies that may happen in the school. The main point of this article was to bring information about the CERT program and how its transforming the way basic materials are being used to help injured patients receive immediate care. I do agree with this article because its best to be safe then sorry. And training teens to be better prepared for serious life situations can only benefit them.

Eyes on the prize-Jake Urdangen

This film spoke to me in many ways. It is a film that was from the point of view of the ordinary men and women whose extraordinary actions launched a movement that changed the fabric of American life. Eyes on the Prize recounts the fight to end decades of discrimination and segregation. It is the story of the people -- young and old, male and female, northern and southern, who are trying to make a difference in the world. Whites and blacks in the 1960’s were not able to eat in the same places, drink out of the same water fountains, and sit together on the same bus. What moved me about this movie in particular, was probably the murder of Emmett Till. This innocent, black 14 year old kid was caught flirting with a white waitress. Four days later, two white men kidnapped Till, beat him and shot him in the head. The men were tried for murder, but an all-white, male jury acquitted them. This made an impact on America, and still does today. It was so awful that of course, it was a white jury. I could not imagine being black living in the south back then. The amount of racial slurs thrown around, and horrific actions happening to blacks makes me cringe to live in this world today. The Emmett Till murder trial brought to light the brutality of Jim Crow segregation in the South and was an early impetus of the African American civil rights movement. This movie brought to my attention how much privilege I really do have.

Nevada Union School Training Assist by; Javian Whyte

The article is about students helping in the process of an emergency and it talk about taking care of the person hurt before the first responce team is on scene the person has already been taken care of so the professional when they are there everything is already calm and they could just do their job other than talking and telling people watch out.

 The main point of the article is that in the school if something happens and a student is there before the school nurse or an ambulance the students can help which make the situation better because if their was a really bad cut the student could help stop the bleeding which the person would have saved more blood which has a more likely hood of surviving.

I do agree with the article but one thing it did not talk about was that after they take the class what do the students do to stay fresh as in remember the materials like what to do how to do it and when to do it.

Itzel Martinez- Nevada Union High School

The article goes on to say how this is a great program for kids and how it will allow them to help their community while waiting for help to arrive, although only 26 students applied to the program. The students go on to say how they were motivated to join the program and why they find it useful. The CERT program was first developed in Los Angeles in 1985.
The main point of the article is that "the thought behind the program is neighbors helping neighbors until the first responders can get there".
I agree that it is helpful and beneficial to the community but I don't see how this is any different than taking a lifeguarding class, in my class I learned how to splint and arm and deal with other injuries, in and out of the water. There's nothing else to add.

Eliazar Cabrera Using Social Media to Advance the Fire Department Mission

This article is basically talking about how social media helps out a lot and it advance  the fire department like Twitter and what this do it that it provides the communities with instructions on evacuation and also shelter. The main point of this article is that social media helps out the fire department a lot  because people all around the world are on there phones and using social media like Facebook Twitter Instagram ect.... so its a much faster way in my opinion to get people notified is something bug is going to happen like a flood or a tornado is about to hit.  I agree 100 % with this article because we are always glued to our phones so we would be well informed and also the fire department  can send out messages to help out the community. The thing i would add to this article is that would it just be smart phones that get the alerts because some people don't have smart phones they have flip phones so i'm wondering if they are also going to get the alerts.

Eliazar Cabrera Nevada Union Hight school

The Nevada Union High School student are being trained in case of an emergency happens so the Nevada Union students were taking part in a teen Community emergency  Response  Team and what this team achieves  is that it teaches kids how to prepare and respond to emergencies. The main point of this article is this program was made to be implemented for the Bear River and Nevada Union high school around five years ago also the student in the Nevada high school learned how to administer basic first aid, Control the bleeding of an injury or treat a patient for shock with is very important. So basically  the main point is that they learn first aid and how to treat wounded people and how to use basic home material to fix a broken arm and how to put out small fires and to perform search and rescue. My opinion on this article is that i agree 100% because this helps out a lot if a natural  disaster ever happen and you didn't had a doctor so you would know what to do and we should have this in our school because its very interesting. I don't think I would add nothing to this article because its a very well put article and in informs you on whats the point of this article is.

"Fire Stations Open Doors to Addicts" Zoe Kurtzer

The amount of fatal drug overdoses in New Hampshire has more than doubled from the amount in 2014. One city in New Hampshire, Manchester, is attempting to decrease that number by opening their fire stations to the public. Addicts will receive immediate medical care, including a quick consultation from firefighter(s), and if needed a ride to the hospital for more advanced care. This program is called The Safe Station program. The main point of this article is to inform how one city has attempted to decrease fatality from drug related activities, by opening their fire stations and providing immediate care to those who need it. Emphasis on the importance of letting their population know that help is accessible, will decrease the amount of death not only related to drug usage, but to other health problems. I agree with this article to an extent. In New Hampshire, drug related activities is at an all time high, killing their population at an increasing rate. If this program is effective in that the rate of fatality has decreased, then this program is definitely worth adopting in that city. Despite that, there are flaws that need to be fixed in order to have this program to be possible in the future. According to the article, a majority of the firefighters working in the Manchester fire stations react to the walk in patient. Not only is this inefficient for the firefighters to focus their energy and time on this patient, but will also get expensive. The cost alone to support the nonprofit groups helping the addicts, is $300,000 (not including resources stations use). Smaller cities do not have enough staffed firefighters to focus the needed energy on walk in patients. People will eventually start abusing this program, they will get lazy and know they can rely on this program whenever they want a medical checkup, which will result in even more issues for the city in the long run. This article needs to provide statistical evidence, showing a decrease in the fatality rate among drug addicts. The last thing I would add would be legitimate solutions to the counterarguments voiced in the article, adding much needed credibility to The Safe Station program. This will allow the reader to fully judge the positive and negative aspects of The Safe Station program, and efficiently apply this idea or other similar ideas to their community.

What moved me - Miles Lynn

Ap Government and Politics

In the video Eyes on the Prize, that part that moved me the most were the parts about the Montgomery Bus Boycotts. How everyone was on the same page, and stayed true to the pact to not ride the buses was amazing and a real act proving dedication to change. No matter the conditions, no matter the distances, the African-American boycotters would find a way to avoid using buses, and it eventually paid off. I can only imagine the feeling that those African-Americans had when the bus company announced the repeal of the rule, whites in front black in back. It just goes to show you that peaceful activism is effective and is able to do change societies. The importance of the bus boycotts is one of large scale, it started off the movement, among other things, that separate but equal would no longer be able to stand. Helping give African-Americans the rights they had deserved for so long.

Nick Maish-Nevada Union High school CERT

                        Patti Carted came to a high school in Nevada to help kids be aware of a emergency medical situation.she had taught the kids how to use their surroundings to help treat someones injuries. She took 26 students and explained all they need to know in order to help in case of emergency, she explained this as neighbors helping neighbors till the first response can get their. She told them not to panic and just be aware of whats going on. She used objects like a textbook to give examples of how it can be used to help someone in case of an emergency. The CERT program helps students and teachers, The supplies they need are given tho them by the county department of public health, so the CERT program is full funded and free t teach the school. They learn how to treat people who are in shock, use a basic first aid kit, control bleeding, preform search and rescue duties, put out small fires, and collect info to give to the authorities or first responders. This program is made specially for student who want to pursue a career in public safety.

The main point of the article is for The students and first response team to help one another fight and prevent hazards.

I agree, this should be in every school in the us as a class to help prevent further injury and the safety of the community. They should also teach the kids how to prevent injury and not just try to fix it after it happens, and what to do when the first responders arrive.

Nevada Union High School CERT Training Javian Whyte

This article covered the CERT training that took place at Union High School in Nevada. CERT stands for Community Emergency Response Team. This program is in place to help train community members to take action when an emergency strikes. They are able to administer based first aid, perform search and rescue duties, and put out small fires. This 20 hour course is offered for students interested in law enforcement. The main point of the article is that it is good to have trained CERT people because then in case of an emergency there is a larger number of people that can help out.
I do agree with the point made in the article. I really do think that Espedal had it right when he said “The more people trained, the greater the response,” and that can have a major affect on the overall outcome of an emergency situation. 

CERT Program Analyzed by Zoe Kurtzer

Nevada Union High School students participated in the CERT program, the Community Emergency Response Team. The CERT program is a 20-hour all risk training program teaching students on how to prepare for and respond to emergencies. This program was created to help sustain victims until first responders arrive on scene. At this high school, students volunteer to participate in this program. This program provides information ranging from basic first aid to putting out small fires. The main point of this article is to inform readers how easily accessible it is to provide the necessary education to youth on how to react in emergency scenes. The result of this program will increase the chances of a victim surviving and decrease death from a result of the amount of time the first responders take to arrive on scene. This program is informative while at the same time fun and relatively easy to accomplish. These teens are volunteering their time to learn about how they should respond in emergency scenarios, which will save lives. The CERT program is not only very informative but also financially reasonable. Nevada Union Highs School didn't pay a cent for this program, because all of the material is supplied by the County Department of Public Health. I agree with this article. This program will save lives in the future, while at the same time informing and getting youth involved. The CERT program is efficient, educational, fun and free! I would participate in the CERT program because I would receive the necessary information on how to react efficiently in an emergency situation. I would add to this article statistics informing how positive this program is, including the increase percentage of life saved on scene. I would also add the first responder's views of this program, and how it helps them out with their job.

Nevada Union High school students train to assist in the face of an emergency ~ Jacob Dalton

Nevada Union high school students have started training to prevent and contain emergencies in their high school, anything from a minor cut all the way up to a broken wrist Patti Carter, the EPP coordinator for Nevada County showed students how to splint a broken wrist with a textbook and a tee shirt. The Idea is to show them a couple of basic things so if they ever find themselves in a Medical Emergency they can provide care and support before EMT's arrive. I personally agree with the idea of training high school students in basic medical care and attaching them to a CERT ( community Emergency Response Team ) and all the times I have worked with CERT I have had nothing but pleasant encounters with them! In Nevada county it must be different from cook county because here you must be 18 with a high school degree in your hand to apply for the CERT if not for that I would have applied when I first met them in the summer of 2016. I would love to see a program similar to this implemented IN Evanston Township High school and I would be the first to put my name on the list to apply, I fully support and will continue to support any program which take some of the stress off of the first responders of America

Nevada Union High School Students Train To Assist In Face Of Emergency By Deshawn Jones

Nevada Union Highschool students are apart of a program/Organization that teaches them how to stabilize someone's injury during an emergency.
The main Idea is simply being prepared. It is necessary that students know what to do in situations where someone may need medical attention. This doesn't only apply to school grounds, This training is beneficial to the community as well. Being able to go next door to help you're wounded neighbor is outstanding.
In my own personal opinion I agree one hundred percent with the article. Having the opportunity to be apart of a public safety class has taught me things that I know will be valuable wherever I go around the world. I think it's important that  classes like these are taught to kids around the world, The World needs more doctors and people who can medically assist others.
What I can provide to the article is extra techniques I've learned throughout my public safety class because I feel along with the ones already mentioned  you can't go wrong.

Nevada Union High School Train to Assist in face of emergency - Ahtayon Taylor

This article is about a high school that trains students how to do things like control bleeding, basic first if , small fires & they also perform search & rescue duties. Another important thing they learn how to do is get information & how to report it the responders or an authorities. They do this in case of an emergency, to come the patients & also because in school responders might not be on the scene when thing like this happen. You could save someone life knowing things like this. The main part of this article is to show what high school kids are doing to try an save someone's life , how the program could help certain things that happen in a school. To show how this is important. I Agree with this article because this is something good. It would be a good feeling to change someone's life. I can add to this article by saying this is a good thing , teaching someone how to save life's.

How I Can Contribute to Ending Youth Violence by Zoe Kurtzer

Being an ETHS student I can do much more than what I am currently doing, to decrease and maybe even stop (youth) violence. I actively attempt to preoccupy youth by recruiting as many people as possible to the extracurricular activities I participate in. By recruiting more youth to extracurricular activities this will prevent youth to be doing illegal activity or just bad activity. If every youth, no matter what grade actively worked towards recruiting other friends and other people their age violence would go. Recruiting people at a young age will be even more effective, than recruiting high school youth. Starting kids at a young age to be more active in extracurricular activities whether it be sports or clubs is vital in making the next generation smarter and safer, this will create a mindset of being busy and preoccupied. In elementary school, me and a small group of friends created a book club for any student to join. Doing this will make kids busy and will decrease time for violent activities. This club also helped kids want to be more literate and apply themselves to school, which is always good. I brought this up because no matter how young or old a child is, they still have the ability to have an effect on others and change the outcome of their future and other's future.

Javian Lori Drew Case Response

After Lori Drew feared that a girl, Megan Meier, at her daughters school was spreading rumors about her she created a fake Myspace under the name "Josh Evans." She proceeded to correspond with Meier for a months time; during this time, the messages where seemed "flirtatious." A message was sent from Drew to the Meier that implied that the world would be better off without her. Other students joined in on harassing Meier, and her mother found she had hung herself in the closet on October 16th, 2006.

In court, there was not enough information to charge Drew with the death of Megan Meier, but Drew was charged on 4 other charges: intentionally accessing a computer used in interstate commerce "without authorization" and in "excess of authorized use," using interstate commerce to use a computer to cause emotional distress, and two counts of breaking the Myspace Terms and Agreements.

Lori Drew and Megan Meier Case Analyzed by Zoe Kurtzer

Lori Drew, Sarah Drew and Ashley Grills should all be arrested for the murder of Megan Meier. The Criminal Justice System exists to serve and protect the peace. The judges let the murderers off the hook in this case, thus relaying the message to other people that the illegal actions perpetrated the three murderers is acceptable. Sarah Drew had a history of mental illnesses, one including depression, that had a huge factor in her death. Despite her illness, this does not validate what those three people did to her. Whether or not they were able to understand the terms of agreement (if they couldn't understand it, they should not have made the account), these three people have common sense and know that it is dangerous and not okay to falsify an account for greed. On top of falsifying an account, they intentionally bullied Megan and posted hateful and dangerous material to her to receive a reaction back. Whether or not Lori or Sarah Drew created the account and sent the material, they were all aware of exactly what they were doing. If Lori Drew really created this account because she feared Megan was bullying her daughter, she should have walked up the street and had a civilized conversation over their concerns with Tina Meier, Megan's parent. Sarah Drew is equally responsible for the murder of Megan Meier. Sarah Drew knew Megan on a personal level, and  was educated enough to realize the possible implications of creating a false account to cyber bully Megan. Law enforcement agencies create false accounts all the time, to solve a case. Despite what they are doing, creating false accounts, the code of ethics still exists to use social media responsibly. Ashley Grills is also equally responsible, she added to the situation and knew what she was doing was wrong, illegal and immature. This case could have been avoided in many ways. First, Sarah Drew should have consulted a professional and discussed Megan's history of attempted suicide. All three murderers should have spoken directly to either Megan Meier or Tina Meier or both respectfully and genuine about any concerns they had. This is a case full of pathetic excuses from all three murderers attempting to legitimize and suppress their actions of murdering 13 year old Megan Meier.

CJ Controversy:

In my opinion I think that Drew should have  been punished because she was sending her bulling  messages but  Drew felt ''terrible'' about her death so I think that Drew should of  been punished by the criminal justice system. Because that's cyber bulling. The lessons I would take from Meiers suicide is that  they should  be  careful on who they do it because they could get an innocent person but then they start to grave or lower  him in and then they just grave him. Also the police officers should get as much evidence for that person they are following so they could say ok this is the person we are trying to grave.

Police officers should have more rules like gathering evidence for the person they are trying to get because the police officers targets have not committed any type of crime and they do not deserve those things because that's there privacy. Also they should there's a lot of people out there making  fake accounts  so one does int know  if they are a police officer or a person trying to get someone and also a big thing is that you could be hurting the person you are texting because they get cat fished the person thought you were real  but in the end they end up knowing that the person they were telling all there intimacy with was not real and so they commit  death. So in my opinion police officers shouldn't just watch out who are there victims.
 

Lord Drew and Megan Meier case- Selena Magdaleno

Lori Drew should be punished for her actions. Lori Drew made a fake Facebook page and was messing around with Megan Meier. Megan thought it was the "boy" She was talking to but in reality it was Lori Drew. Lori Drew sent negative messages on Facebook that no one wants to hear it states in the news that Megan Meier has been dealing with depression before and this Facebook page made it worse. She's been doing things to harm her self like she started to cut her self. Then after hearing more hateful messages that she received she hung her self. Lori Drew should be punished she should have never made a fake Facebook account and messaging her with hateful messages that no one wants to deal with. If she never made that Facebook page Megan Meier would've still been alive. Its cyber bullying Megan's mother shouldn't have had to go through that and see her daughter take away her own life in a very young age. No one deserves to be in a position Megan Meier was in.

Lori Drew, Megan Meier, Megans mom

Lori Drew vs Megan Meier. Jescell Mitchell

Lori Drew should be punished by the criminal justice system for her actions because she was very much involved with what was going on. There was no real reason for Lori Drew and her daughter to create the Myspace page to bully Megan. They took things to far when things turned for the worst and they said " I don't know if I want to be friends with you anymore because I've heard that you are not very nice to your friends." Then at that point more messages were sent and Megan's messages were shared with others, and bulletins were posted about her. As an adult/ parent she should've known what she was doing and put a stop to it.
Rules that I think police officers should follow when creating a fake social media account is to make good judgement, always hide your personal feelings regarding a situation. Another rule I think would be appropriate is to never get too comfortable and be too friendly, easy way to get your cover blown because you ain't friends with this person in real life, you guys are only friends because you want to find out information.

Itzel Martinez

Lori Drew knew what was going on, she admitted to making a fake myspace account under the name of a boy named Josh. Where she wanted to get information from Megan Meier to later humiliate and embarrass her and her family. Not only that but Lori got her daughter and one of her employees involved as multiple people ran the account. Her daughter Sarah used to be a friend of Megan, they had a falling out as witnesses testified that Lori was to use this information as a form of revenge for spreading rumors about her daughter, which yes the mother should've gotten involved and interfered but doing this and cyberbullying a 13 year old girl was just not acceptable.
With this information, yes Lori should've been convicted what does a grown women have to do with something that includes children? It should have never gotten this far, to the point that Megan committed suicide. I get it she wanted to help her daughter out but this was not the way to do it, it shows how grownups as well can be really immature too not just children. Lori shouldn't have gotten of, her daughter and her employee should've been charged too as they had a role and as they did not notify the proper authorities.

For police officers creating fake out accounts be aware of what you are saying to kids, they think differently than you do. Some aren't as mature and never let a situation get out of hand, insulting, name calling, black mailing people for information etc... is not the way to go. Police officers have to be aware of that, not only is it bad that a police officer has created a fake account but talking to teens and the teen later finding out its a fake account and reports it, it can reflect badly on the police officer and the department as well. 

Lori Drew and Megan Meier - Ahtayon Taylor

Lori Drew should have been punished for the suicide of Megan because she knew that she was cyberbullying maybe she didn't think that is was going to go that far but she caused Megan to want to harm herself by putting her down. It isn't something any parent wants to go through and she caused that pain to Megan's parents. She should be punished because it wasn't right for her to put down anyone to the point where they would want to harm themselves. The rules that i would set up for bullying would be a felony because when someone is being bullied through the Internet they want that person to kill themselves til the person really does it and they regret it. Bullying is like killing someone your making someone feel so bad to the point they don't wanna be on this earth.The lesson that i would take from this case is that cyberbullying is serious , people should not take it as a joke. Words do hurt and sometimes they can hurt someone to the point they don't wanna be on earth. If i was creating fake face book(s) i would stop and apologize to the people i said hurtful words to. I will tell the truth and never do that again. I will stop cyberbullying because i know its not right.

Lori Drew And Megan Meier By Deshawn Jones

In My opinion I believe that Lori Drew should have been Punished by the Criminal Justice System because her actions were very wrong. Drew took things father than what she was attempting to accomplish, Telling Meier that the world would be a better place without her. As An adult I think in a situation like this the appropriate thing to do would be to take a walk down to Meier's home and have a talk with her and her mother. Kindly ask if she's making negative comments over social media and unless you have proof whatever her answer is go from there.
If I had to create a set of rules for police officers who create fake social media profiles it would be three simple rules with the first being
No negative thoughts or personal opinions that may blow the case or make the person feel bad or the need to harm themselves.
Depending on the situation- Do not make a social media profile unless appropriate for the situation
Make good decisions and consult with others before making certain actions on social media
I believe this situation could have easily been avoided, The purpose of the account wasn't to make Megan feel bad, But to find out information.
