8A ♦ WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2007 EMERGENCY From page iA They’re there to protect the public and to provide medical services all the way from dealing with blisters to getting out the defibrillator in case of cardiac arrest. And they stay really busy, according to Lee Dixon, a paramedic with the Houston County EMS who was work ing at the fair on Sunday. “We cared for at least 50 people here just last night,” she says, and she estimates about the same number by 3 p.m. on Sunday. The EMS team at the fair can offer advanced life sup port care, give medication and basically do anything a hospital emergency room staff could do. In most cases, to save time, they take golf carts out to the site of a reported injury or health problem, and they’re backed up in all their work by the Perry firefighters, who are also trained to offer basic life support. You might not even notice they’re there, but if you hap pen to have a child who’s hurt, as Angie Stieber did on Sunday, you’ll be very thank SCHOLAR From page yA to merit the recognition of AP Scholar. Students took AP Exams in May, after completing the challenging college-level courses at their schools. The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on students’ perfor mance on AP Exams. Two Westfield students qualified for the AP Scholar with Distinction Award by earning an average grade of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken, and grades of 3 or higher on five or more of those exams. (All AP exams are scored on a scale of 1-5.) These Westfield stu dents are Sarah Moredock and Christopher Thompson, members of the Class of 2007. Three Westfield students qualified for the AP Scholar Award by completing three or more AP Exams, with grades of 3 or higher. These AP Scholars at Westfield are Katie Hayes and Ryan Kinsley, members of the Class of 2007, and Lee Stokes, member of Class of 2008. Lee has one more year in which to complete college level work and possibly earn another AP Scholar Award. Most of the nation’s col leges and universities award credit, advanced placement, or both based on success ful performance on the AP Exams.

Earlier, another mom needed help and reassurance when her child began to run a fever and had a febrile sei zure.
