I thought I was calm, but apparently the look on my face said otherwise. Dave then began walking me through the process of what he was doing. "Okay," he said. "I'm going to bandage it with a band aid, then wrap a separate bandage around the cut, it will sting, but this will help it heal."
"Okay," I replied still in shock. Looking back now, I be- lieve his walking me through the steps was a distraction to keep my mind off the pain. It worked.
Saturday, we are hosting the first session of our Soaring Eagles Hoopster Basketball Camp! Contact cwoods@im- manuelschools.com if you’re interested in signing up, kids K-8th welcome!
Also, our FFA team will be competing at the Reedley High Tree Pruning competi- tion on Saturday from 7am- 1pm. And lastly, our chess team will be competing in a tournament at TL Reed from 7:45am-2pm. Good luck Eagles!

I wore the bandage for a few weeks and the cut healed nicely. I won't forget that af- ternoon, and the way in which Dave helped calm me down.
With that said, I will men- tion again that working as an EMT or paramedic is not a job anyone can do. It really takes a special type of person to do this work.
I have included some ex- tra photos in this B section of the Exponent to showcase more of the interesting as- pects of my visit to Sequoia Safety Council. The full story is in the A Section.
Again, thank you to all our local first responders for the work you do in our commu- nity.
