If you love colorful pumpkins for autumn decorations and if you like miniature things, join me for this class using all stoneware clays,  your choice of white, buff, or speckled buff.  You may make as many as you can with your provided clay, in the first four-hour session, then glaze them as strikes your fancy at the second four-hour session.  Pick up your treasures at the third session.  This is a perfect class for anyone who thinks they're not creative. Pumpkins are usually irregularly shaped in nature, so you can't mess up!  Just have fun. If you prefer perfection of perspective, go for it!  You might risk embarrassing Mother Nature on this one!

 *Everything you need will be provided.

 *Must be 15 or older.

 *The class will be held at ASUMH Technical Center on Hwy 62 across from Plumlee Tire.

She considers her style to be organic and rustic. Teaching is Marian's favorite part of her clay journey, helping others to experience the excitement of creating something useful and/or beautiful from a hunk of partially dried mud.

  Our missions with Rural Community EMS:

  “We will do our best to ensure timely and life-saving care in remote areas. ‘We care. For everyone.”

       The Rural Community EMS course is a forty-hour course taught in eight five-hour sessions from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. on the second Saturday of each month ( excluding December) at Arkansas State University at Mountain Home. The course is taught by Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Personnel and is designed to increase public awareness and understanding of the services provided to patients and communities through Emergency Medical Services (EMS), and to certify course participants in basic life support ( BLS), CPR, and AED.

   

  EMS  services function by providing emergency medical care to people who have had a sudden or serious injury or illness, or who have suffered major trauma. Access to EMS is critical for rural residents with pre-hospital service needs.

   

  Through lesson presentations and hands-on skill stations, participants will learn how to access help in the event of a life-threatening emergency and what to do until more qualified EMS arrives.

   

  This course covers activating the 911 system,  CPR and AED, responding to life-threatening bleeding, penetrating trauma, moving patients to safety, positioning injured patients, airway, respiratory & ventilation, cardiovascular emergencies, individual patient assessment, ethics, operations, and communications. 

   

  The Rural Community EMS program courses will meet the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) requirements for continuing education credits.

  Program completion will qualify participants to take the Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) exam, through National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT), which is a national certification for individuals providing immediate life-saving care. 

   

  Passing the EMR exam allows individuals to work as first responders in various settings, including assisting EMTs and Paramedics. 

   

  All program participants will be encouraged to pursue additional training in EMT-Basic and Paramedic certification through the curriculum offered at Arkansas State University at Mountain Home in Health Sciences.
