North Shore Swim Club is accepting children into their swim team programs at Gordon College. The Spring session is May 2- June 19, 2016. North Shore is a USA swimming club that offers programs for children ages 5-18. Preteam practices are twice per week for 30 minutes for children who need stroke development. Junior practices are 2-3 practices a week for 60 minutes, while learning the latest techniques of all four competitive strokes and the fundamentals of starts and turns. An age group swimmer is asked to make 3-4 practices per week for 90 minutes as they learn how to increase the proficiency of their starts, turns and of all four strokes, while also giving the swimmer a base for aerobic conditioning. The competitive senior program is for swimmers who are asked to make 5-6 practices a week for 90 minutes, while seeking stroke improvement, aerobic conditioning and the fundamentals of race strategy.

NSSC does not have tryouts, but space is limited. Swimmer evaluations and placements will be during the first week of practice, guaranteeing your children are placed in the appropriate practice level.

Hi Joey,

I’m hoping you can help let people know about this opportunity to watch the documentary, Screenagers.  More info can be found on their website http://www.screenagersmovie.com/   Learning how to manage appropriate screen time for our children is a powerful and timely topic parents everywhere can relate to.  

Thank you,

Stacey

GLOUCESTER — Chief Eric Smith is pleased to announce that the Gloucester Fire Department, with assistance from doctors at Addison Gilbert Hospital, saved a man’s life who went into cardiac arrest by employing the revolutionary LUCAS 2 Chest Compression System — setting the record for the longest continual usage of the device in Massachusetts and New England.

“This is an extremely unique situation given the duration the LUCAS device was used. Through the miraculous high quality of care, advanced tools and science, this man was able to return home to his family,” Chief Smith said. “Everyone, from the public, to police, fire and doctors, worked as a team to provide the best possible care available. It demonstrates a true commitment to one another, our residents and community as a whole.”

WHEN

Friday, April 15 at 2 p.m.

WHERE

Gloucester Fire Station, 8 School St.

WHAT

On Feb. 23, at approximately 6:55 a.m., the fire department’s Engine 1 and Rescue 1 arrived at Shaw’s Supermarket, 127 Eastern Ave., after receiving a report of an unresponsive man who was not breathing. Store Manager Marcus Amann had called 911 after he found his employee had collapsed while working in the backroom.

Upon their arrival, firefighters encountered Gloucester Police Officer Robert Morrissey, who was performing CPR on a 56-year-old man, later identified as Alfred Kipp. Gloucester Firefighter Paramedics Doug Sherman and Jack Brancaleone placed a LUCAS 2 Chest Compression System on Kipp to assist with CPR at 7:03 a.m. The electronically powered device is designed to save the lives of those in cardiac arrest by maintaining a steady flow of oxygen to the heart and brain through uninterrupted chest compressions.

The Gloucester Fire Department provided Advanced Life Support care and transported Kipp to the Addison Gilbert Hospital, where they were met by Dr. Steven Krendel and Dr. Michael Arsenian. Firefighters Sherman and Brancaleone stayed on scene to assist and monitor the LUCAS device to ensure it remained powered at all times.

After two hours and 42 minutes with the LUCAS device and continuous care by physicians, Kipp regained a pulse at 9:45 a.m. — making this the second longest documented save with continual usage of the LUCAS in the country (the longest was in Minnesota at two hours and 45 minutes).

“One of the great things about the city of Gloucester is the spirit of community between its pre-hospital providers and Addison Gilbert,” said Krendel, Emergency Department Physician and EMS Medical Director for Addison Gilbert Hospital. “Mr. Kipp is alive because of the remarkable coordination of care he received every step of the way from the Gloucester Police Department, Fire Department, Addison Gilbert’s Emergency Department staff and its Cardiology group. It was a tremendous group effort.”

Once stabilized, Kipp was taken by MedFlight to Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington for further care. Approximately two weeks later, he was released after making a full recovery.
