Do you need basic first-aid training or CPR-AED training?
The Center for Rural Development’s Business & Community Training Center is providing instructor-led training in both basic first-aid and CPR-AED on Thursday, Aug. 4, taught by the Somerset-Pulaski County EMS.
Basic First Aid
8:30 a.m.-noon
Emergencies can happen anytime, anywhere. Would you know what to do in the event of a medical emergency? The Basic First Aid training course will teach participants how to recognize emergencies, know when to call for help, and perform basic life-saving skills.
HeartSaver CPR and AED
1 p.m.-4:30 p.m.
It has been proven that if more people knew how to perform CPR and use an AED device, the chance of survival improves substantially. Students will learn how to perform CPR and use an automated external defibrillator (AED) in a safe, timely, and effective manner.
Who should attend these classes?
Both training courses are designed for people with limited or no medical training and need first aid or CPR training to meet job, regulatory, or other requirements.
What does it cost to register?
Registration is $69 per person for each course or $129 per person for both courses. Upon successful completion of the training, students will receive a course completion card valid for two years.

"American Parade" A Flashback Theater Production (Junior Cast Performance)
2022-07-31 14:00 - 16:00 | Rocky Hollow Athletic Center, 142 S. Maple Street, Somerset, KY, United States
The American Parade, written by Steve Cleberg, is an adaptation of Moliere’s The Misanthrope. In Moliere’s work, Alceste explains to Philinte that he hates mankind because there is so much hypocrisy, deceit, and false flattery in the world that he can’t find a man who will speak the truth openly. He asserts that all people should be completely frank and honest with one another. But when his lover, Célimène starts being open and honest, it’s more than he can take. The American Parade takes a similar approach as Allen, a painter, tells his actor friend, Phillip, that he wants people to be honest about how they feel about his war painting. Allen is not prepared for the onslaught of honest opinions of the New Yorkers he is surrounded by, including that of his love interest, Celine. This is an outside production so bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on. Info 888-394-3282 or visit https://www.flashbacktheater.co.
