HWS EMTs Gain State Recognition
Geneva, NY
Alumni to Release New Horror/ Medical Thriller “Pathology” By John Heavey Arts and Entertainment Editor “Pathology,” a movie written and produced by Mark Neveldine ‘95, will be released worldwide by Lions Gate Entertainment and Lakeshore Entertainment on November 30th. Directed by acclaimed commercial and music video director Marc Schoelermann, “Pathology” stars Alyssa Milano (Charmed), and Milo Ventimiglia (Heroes). Best described as a horror/ medical thriller, the film focuses on a group of medical students doing their pathology residency at the University of Pennsylvania. When Ted Gray (Ventimiglia) learns that some of his fellow students are competing to commit the perfect murder, he finds himself devising a deadly game. Film review website movieweb. com listed some of the standard objects to be seen on the set of “Pathology” as “blood, real organs mixed with meat
Student EMTs Cassie Carnright and Augie Smith practice their CPR skills. By Rebecca Dennee Op-Ed Editor HWS EMTs have gained momentum for their cause. After 3 years of hard work, it has finally paid off. Recently granted an official agency code by the state, meaning state sponsorship for students to take the EMT class, and gaining support from the school and student governments the program is almost to the point of completion. Founded in 2004 by Tim Horstman, it started with a core of four people and has grown since then. Tim Horstman, class of ’08, has been an EMT for the past three years as well as a member of the Geneva Fire Department, and a Chi Phi brother. Along with the help of fellow students and EMTs Nicole Henderson ’08, and Lee Dickinson ’08, they have developed protocols for the current program.
The program created at the Colleges was based off of a program started at Hamilton College, a program in which students become NY state certified EMTs and respond to calls at the school throughout the academic year. In much the same manner HWS students take a class at Finger Lakes Community College to become officially recognized NY State EMT. They will then be able to respond to emergency calls on campus. The EMT class offered initially cost $800 dollars up until this year with the recognition of the agency code the state will sponsor an unlimited number of students at no cost, to take the class and become certified. The news of the sponsorship is one of victory for Horstman, Henderson and Dickinson. “Initially the costs were what kept people away from the class, the first year we had fifty people sign up but when they heard the costs associated they were unable
to continue. With the incentive that they do not have to pay, we are hoping more people will sign up” commented Horstman. One current objective for the group include making a first response team on campus, the first response team would allow for students to respond to emergency calls up to 10 minutes faster than the ambulance, which they hope will help save lives. The first response team welcomes all to join, with no experience required. Money for the club, to expand and facilitate this first response team as well as gaining an AED and car, is stemming from the Deans Offices as well as the Hobart Student Government. After proposing to the HSG and the William Smith Congress, they EMT continued on Page 3

teaming up again with writer Brian Taylor for this thriller which is sure to frighten and revolt in ways that most classic horror films miss the mark.

After graduating from Hobart, Neveldine moved to L.A., earned roles in several movies and then worked as a camera operator and director of photography He has been an actor and director of many plays in New York City and was cinematographer for 2002’s “This Beautiful Life,” starring Ned Beatty.
