Finding Your Voice Online

"Carrie Daklin is mad as hell and doesn't want to take it anymore," begins a column by Ruben Rosario. Want to keep reading? You bet. That's because Rosario always writes with voice, with attitude, with a passion that grabs the reader. Journalism prof Carrie Brown-Smith writes: "Voice doesn’t HAVE TO mean less facts or more ill-informed ranting ... there’s still hard-hitting reporting, but the person behind the story isn’t completely hidden. If anything, the biases they are trying (often to little avail) to hide are instead transparently represented to the audience and become part and parcel of their expertise rather than a liability." If you want to work on livening up your writing, join us for Finding Your Voice, a two-hour workshop at the Daily Planet office on January 11, 7-9 p.m. Register ahead of time, and e-mail instructor Mary Turck (editor@tcdailyplanet.net) samples of your writing — something boring you'd like to improve or something with voice that you'd like to brag about.

Course tuition is $10; scholarships are available for students to whom this fee is a burden. Register at thedatabank.com:

Pre-EMS (Emergency Medical Services)

Pre-EMS Academy is an EMT preparatory course offered by the Saint Paul EMS Academy.

The Saint Paul EMS Academy is an Emergency Medical Technician certification program that trains low-income youth (18-24 years) of Saint Paul to become EMTs. We provide all materials free of charge, free tuition, wrap-around supports, and an hourly wage for participants. The EMT curriculum is rigorous, so we have launched Pre-EMS to build the foundation needed for success in the EMS Academy.

Pre-EMS is an Adult Basic Education (ABE) course taught by Saint Paul Public Schools Hubbs Center. Pre-EMS is open to any individual interested in a career in EMS. Participants study the anatomy and physiology of the human body, develop vocabulary common in the EMS field, and improve reading and test-taking skills.

Class time totals 60 hours - 6 hours per week (M,W,F 8:30-10:30 AM) for 10 weeks (April 2 - June 8, 2012). Class will be taught at Station 51 in St Paul (296 West 7th St).

After completing Pre-EMS, graduates can enroll into the Summer 2012 EMS Academy, which runs June 18 - August 24, 2012.

There will not be class on Holidays.
