Eventoons: Experimental creative art using educational eventoons, cartoons and avatars
Cartoons and Second Life (SL) avatars have been used in management and information systems courses to bring educational current events to ground and virtual classroom. Eventoons are an experimental creative way to use art to shape current events in a drawing and/or virtual world to enhance their impact in our students. Drawing cartoons for a class is done on a whiteboard and/or posted on a website (www.eventoons.org), blog or SL virtual world. Creations are experimental because they are tested for usefulness to enhance the learning experience. (ID #143/Track 1)

Microblogging and social media groups to enhance classroom discussions topics
Microblogging and social media networks are two of the current web technologies that bring classroom activities outside the traditional ground and virtual platforms. Microblogging using Twitter is a creative way of posting comments and links that can be replicated in social groups, Blackboard announcements or inside a discussion board. Students are able to read and reply to tweets as part of a class or comment in a social group. Professors can select good responses and tweet them as a microblog in both Twitter and social media groups to expand discussions outside the classroom. (ID #139/Track 4)

Capstone course development for the BAS in Supervision and Management
The Capstone in Supervision and Management is a course that focuses on the integration of knowledge, skills and abilities learned in the BAS in Supervision and Management program through a capstone project. Integrating management knowledge was accomplished by including the core competencies and program outcomes (professionalism, problem solving, literacy skills, management perspective, information technology and teamwork), business advisory board current industry needs, students’ current workplace experience, and faculty academic and practitioner experience. The result was a matrix of course components (team project simulation, individual project, OPQ, professional development, current topics, and mentoring) that combine and integrate the above-mentioned areas.

AEDs Help Scouts ‘Be Prepared’
New AEDs Help Scouts ‘Be Prepared’

SVHC delivers the two remaining AEDs to the North Florida Council of Boy Scouts during a presentation last month. On hand were (from left) John Moscarillo, Medtronic; Brian Patterson, Megan Shaw and Jack Spears, North Florida Council of Boy Scouts; SVMC Associate Lisa Dean, RN; and Jose Lepervanche, a Scout Leader and SCA survivor.
It was a day at camp for most, but the subject at hand was no playing matter. Although Sudden Cardiac Arrest has been in the news lately with several public figures falling victim, St. Vincent’s HealthCare has been talking about it for a while.
SVHC kicked off the Partners in Preventing Sudden Cardiac Arrest campaign more than a year ago to reduce the number of people who die from SCA by providing life-saving Automatic External Defibrillator devices to Jacksonville area organizations.
Last month, several SVHC associates gathered at Camp Echocktee Boy Scout Camp in Orange Park to present the last two AEDs to the North Florida Council of Boy Scouts. An AED training session was also held.
The speaker for the event was Jose Lepervanche, a Scout leader whose life was saved by an AED.
“By having more defibrillators available and teaching the community how to use them, we hope to save lives,” said Karen Darnell, SVHC Vice President and CNO.

Activity: Camping
July 1st, 2007 was a typical opening day at Woodruff Scout Reservation near Blairsville, Georgia. More than 900 scouts and 100 leaders were arriving to start a summer week full of fun activities. As Scoutmaster of Troop 182 in Jacksonville, Florida, I was proud to be part of 25 scouts and 8 adults going to camp. We had spent a couple of months planning this week and the boys were excited about this trip. For the first time in my adult Scouting time, my wife Flor was coming to a summer camp. I convinced her that spiders were not going to enter our tent thanks to our mosquito net.
I am sharing this personal story based on a recollection of testimonies from my wife, sons, scouts, and other adults. As you will read in the next paragraphs, I was not able to remember any of the events that happened that day. I lost seven days of my memory but the outcome of this story has allowed me to say that I am a double-blessed Scoutmaster.
Our troop arrived to camp and we were assigned to campsite 17 at the top of a hill. In the afternoon, my wife and I decided to attend a Catholic Mass with most of our scouts. We received communion in the middle of the rain in front of a beautiful lake. We saw the clouds and the upcoming storm but I never imagined that I was going to be in the middle of another storm that would almost take my life! After mass I felt blessed to start our week and we decided to attend the Protestant service too. Troop 182 is chartered by Holy Spirit Catholic Church and our troop also has Christian non-catholic scouts. Some of the adults decided to attend this service with our scouts. At the end of this service I told the others: I am double-blessed. I did not realize that this comment was going to be vital to save my life!
After a great opening campfire organized by the Woodruff staff, we walked up the hill to our campsite. I told my wife that I was going to walk faster to talk to the boys in the campsite pavilion. When I arrived, I was talking to them in front of a table when suddenly.. I collapsed over a plastic box that was over the table! At the first moment, they thought that I was joking. My wife approached me, saw my eyes and started to yell: He is not acting. Immediately my son Life Scout Alejandro Lepervanche jumped to see me and asked for help. Some of our adults lowered me to the floor and started CPR when they noticed that I had no pulse and was not breathing. I had a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).
A SCA usually causes death if not treated in minutes. For this reason, five of our scout leaders, Kevin Newman, Coleen Harris, Phyllis Saxon, Mark Tolleson, and Brian Buchanan applied CPR for 45 minutes while waiting for the ambulance. After approximately 10 minutes, the camp Emergency Medical Technician Brian Hendrick arrived with an automated external defibrillator (AED) and they applied 5 shocks to my heart. I certainly believe that their continuous action, prayers, and the double-blessing of God helped me to be alive during those critical minutes. Our Senior Patrol Leader (SPL) Life Scout Scott Fleischmann and his youth leadership scouts directed the older boys to spread out in the road with flashlights to guide the ambulance to campsite 17. Others kept the younger scouts calm.
All the scouts lead by our SPL had gathered united under one of the campsites tarps to calm each other and to pray. While the adults were doing CPR my wife Flor was praying loudly laying her hands over me. One of the parents commented: She was calm all the time praying in Spanish while another parent, Hans Guerrero, was comforting her. Another parent said: God was there and I believe that. According to the Heart, Blood and Lung Institute, less than 5% of people with a SCA survive and I was one of the survivors!
I was taken in a rescue unit to the Union General Hospital in Blairsville by a team lead by Lt. Steven Tanner from the Union County Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Later, due to the nature of my illness, it was decided to transfer me to the Ronnie Greene Heart Center at the Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville, Georgia. Two of the parents took my wife and son to the hospital to wait for the outcome. At the Heart Centers Intensive Care Unit (ICU) they applied a new technique called hypothermia. In a rare coincidence, the Newsweek magazine edition of that week had a cover and article that described a similar case to mine where the same hypothermia technique was used. This article mentioned that this technique is performed in only 225 hospitals, out of more than 5,700 in the US. By lowering my temperature, doctors increased the chance of a full recovery and protected me against brain damage after my heart stoppage.
Back in camp, adults and scouts gathered to discuss what had happened. They were counseled and given the opportunity to express their feelings. They decided to continue as a united troop with the planned week. My son Alejandro, after seen that I was alive and reacting positively to treatment, decided to go back to camp and continue with his Venture Base program. I think that his return was a good sign for the rest of the scouts who kept working on their Merit Badges and other camp requirements.
Two days after my SCA, I recovered consciousness and requested to go back to camp to be with the scouts. Some people said that I reacted too fast. Others called a miracle. I was full of tubes, needles and other gadgets and my wife told be to be quiet and reminded me: A Scout is obedient and I replied with the Scout sign. At the end of that week, doctors decided to do a catheter procedure and a quadruple by-pass. At the same time, our Troop 182 scouts finished their week winning not only the Honor Award, but also the Scouting Traditions Award, given to only three troops, the Ranger Award, and the Duty to God Award. They accomplished more that I was expecting. They also attended daily church services praying the Holy Rosary lead by our troop Chaplain Aide Star Scout Matthew Goller asking for my health. All these prayers and awards were very useful to accelerate my recovery. I wanted to be with them and enjoy their moment. I really was proud of all the scouts and adults that were all united as a troop and kept the Scouting spirit alive during my time at the hospital!
During the closing campfire, Eagle Scout Luther Beebe presented a caricature of me in a wooden plaque to my son Alejandro. It was a touching moment. Later, our cousin Scout Alejandro Perez-Gonzalez brought the plaque to my ICU room and my picture doing the Scout sign with him and the plaque was the first activity that I remembered of all my ordeal of the previous days. I recovered my memory at this moment! I also started to draw cartoons about doctors and nurses. After twelve days in the hospital and a new permanent implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in my chest, our son Daniel Lepervanche, who had gone from to the hospital a day after my SCA, drove us home to Jacksonville, Florida. During those days in the ICU and the regular room, I was grateful and enthusiastic about the new opportunity that God is given me to continue in this world. I know that we are blessed by God when we use the talents that he has given to us to help others. I also believe that we are double-blessed when others love us in an unconditional way. All the love, family, friendship, messages, flowers, cards, balloons, and prayers have showed to me that being double-blessed implies a great responsibility. Now I have to understand the mission that God has given to me, and expand my lessons and love beyond those who love me. Every time I touch the ICD in my chest I thank God and I remind myself of this new responsibility.
After twenty six days I returned briefly to our troop meeting to give thanks to all of the scouts and adults who attended Summer Camp, and to the entire troop who kept me in their prayers. One of the parents, Melissa Goller, kept all the parents informed by e-mail. I used the Scoutmaster minute to tell that in the same way that captains are tested during a storm and leaders are tested in a crisis, real scouts are tested during an emergency. This is the true reason about Be Prepared. We have to be prepared to handle any emergency. I told them the importance of being reverent to God, that trained adults in CPR skills were vital to save my life, that their Emergency Preparedness skills where useful to keep them calm and to help them in making the right decisions. I was also able to attend my first public event in a Knights of Columbus dinner where they gave a plaque to my son Alejandro as Outstanding Catholic Scout (picture attached).
One week later I was able to attend our Committee Meeting where I talked about this experience and the lessons. I thanked them again and used the Scoutmaster minute to share three lessons: First, we must have faith. As Scouts we have our duty to God and He has given his promises to be healthy, happy, and wealthy if we obey Him and help others. Second, use the healing power of humor. During my days in ICU I had to laugh and cough to improve my respiration, I drew cartoons, and visited other patients in their rooms. Humor was definitely, the best medicine. Third, during hard times, surround yourself of positive people. Optimism and pessimism are contagious. Optimist people will cheer you up. This is also a way to help others. During my days at the hospital I used to walk around talking to people and also requesting Chaplains to visit other patients. I believe that chaplains, priests, family and good friends were instrumental in what they call a miracle from God. These lessons accelerated my recovery and my return to our troop and normal life.
One month after that July 1st, 2007, I went back to my Scouting activities. I am sure that the impact of that day will last forever in the memories of our family and friends, our Troop 182 scouts and adults, more than 900 scouts who attended Woodruff and all the people who know this story. I am a new soldier in this daily fight against heart deceases. I am supporting a crusade to duplicate the number of AEDs in Boy Scout camps and to make mandatory CPR training in all Scout leaders and older Scouts. My intention is to write, speak out and increase awareness about the importance of faith, prayers, fellowship, emergency preparedness, CPR, AED, ICD, health, exercises and goodwill to others.
I am a SCA survivor by the grace of God and I am sure that after thinking about these lessons you will feel that you are double-blessed too.
Scoutmaster Doblemente Bendecido
Scoutmaster Doblemente Bendecido
Jose Lepervanche, PhD (*)
El 1 de Julio de 2007 fue la inauguración del campamento de verano para Boys Scouts en la Reservación Scout Woodruff cerca de Blairsville, Georgia. Más de 900 scouts y 100 líderes llegaron para comenzar una semana de campamento con una gran cantidad de actividades. Como Scoutmaster de la tropa 182 en Jacksonville, Florida, estaba orgulloso de ser parte de un grupo de 25 scouts y 8 adultos que iban a acampar este verano. Habíamos pasado un par de meses planificándolo y todos estábamos muy emocionados con el viaje. Por primera vez en esta tropa, mi esposa Flor asistía a un campamento de verano. La convencí, al garantizarle que las arañas no entrarían en nuestra carpa gracias al nuevo mosquitero que había comprado para la ocasión.
Estoy compartiendo esta historia personal en base a testimonios de mi esposa, hijos, scouts, y otros adultos. Pues como podrán leer mas adelante, no podía recordar los acontecimientos que pasaron ese día. Perdí siete días de mi memoria, pero el resultado de ésta historia ha permitido que diga soy un Scoutmaster doblemente-bendecido.
A nuestra tropa le asignaron el sitio No. 17 en el tope de una colina. Por la tarde, mi esposa y yo asistimos a una Misa católica con la mayoría de nuestros scouts en medio de la lluvia y frente a un hermoso lago. ¡Vimos las nubes y la tormenta pero nunca me imagine que estaría en el medio de otra tormenta que casi termina con mi vida!
Después de la Misa me sentía bendecido para poder comenzar nuestra semana y decidimos asistir también al servicio protestante, pues nuestra tropa 182, a pesar de estar suscrita a “Holy Spirit Catholic Church” tiene también scouts no-católicos cristianos. Algunos de los adultos decidieron también atender a este servicio con nuestros scouts. Al final de este servicio yo comenté “Ahora estoy doblemente bendecido”. ¡No pasaría por mi mente jamás que este comentario iba a ser vital para salvar mi vida!
Después de una gran fogata de apertura organizada por el personal de Woodruff, caminamos hacia la colina donde se encontraba nuestro campamento. En el camino le dije a mi esposa que me iba a adelantar para hablar con los muchachos. Les estaba hablando cuando de repente me desmaye sobre una caja plástica que estaba sobre una mesa! En el primer momento, los muchachos pensaron que bromeaba. Mi esposa se acercó, vio mis ojos volteados y comenzó a gritar: “Él no está actuando”. Mi hijo Alejandro saltó a verme y pidió ayuda inmediatamente a los padres que se acercaban. Ellos me bajaron de inmediato al piso y comenzaron a practicarme CPR cuando notaron que no tenía ningún pulso ni respiraba. Tenía un paro cardiaco repentino (SCA).
Un SCA causa generalmente la muerte si no se trata en los primeros cinco minutos. Por esta razón, cinco de nuestros líderes scouts, Kevin Newman, Coleen Harris, Phyllis Saxon, Mark Tolleson, y Brian Buchanan me aplicaron CPR por 45 minutos mientras que esperaban la ambulancia. A los 10 minutos aproximadamente, llegó el técnico médico Brian Hendrick del personal de emergencia del campamento con un desfibrilador externo automatizado (AED) y me aplicaron 5 choques eléctricos a mi corazón. Creo ciertamente que su acción continua, la oración de mi esposa y los scouts, y la doble-bendición de Dios me ayudaron a estar vivo durante esos minutos críticos. Mientras pasaba todo esto los scouts se ubicaron en el camino con linternas para guiar a la ambulancia hasta donde yo me encontraba.
Todos los scouts guiados por SPL se habían reunido debajo de un toldo tratando de calmarse orando y rogando a Dios. Mientras que los adultos hacían CPR mi esposa Flor oraba en alta voz . Uno de los padres comentó: “Ella estaba calmada y todo el tiempo estuvo orando en español…” mientras que otro padre, Hans Guerrero, la confortaba . Otro padre dijo: “Dios estaba allí” y yo lo creo. ¡Según estadísticas de la Asociación del corazón, menos de 5% de la gente con un SCA sobrevive y yo era uno de los sobrevivientes!
Cuando llegó la ambulancia me trasladaron al hospital general de Blairsville. En el hospital me atendieron de inmediato y debido a la naturaleza de mi gravedad decidieron transferirme al Centro del Corazón “Ronnie Greene” en el Northeast Gainesville Medical Center, en Gainesville, Georgia, hospital especialista en cirugías del corazón. Dos de los padres llevaron a mi esposa e hijo al hospital a esperar los resultados. Al llegar a la unidad de cuidado intensivos (ICU) me aplicaron todos los medicamentos necesarios para estabilizar el funcionamiento del corazón junto a una nueva técnica llamada hipotermia, bajando mi temperatura para así aumentar la posibilidad de una recuperación completa manteniendo en un mínimo el funcionando del resto de los órganos.
Como coincidencia, en Julio 24 la revista Newsweek presentó un artículo donde describía un caso similar al mío donde fue aplicada la misma técnica de la hipotermia.. Este artículo mencionó que esta técnica solo se está aplicando en 225 hospitales de un total de 5.700 en los E.E.U.U.
Mientras tanto en el campamento los adultos y los scouts se reunieron a conversar sobre lo que había sucedido. Fueron aconsejados y dados la oportunidad de expresar sus sentimientos. Decidieron continuar como una tropa unida con todas las actividades planificadas. Mi hijo Alejandro, después de confirmar que reaccionaba positivamente al tratamiento y que me encontraba en el mejor hospital que podía estar, estuvo de acuerdo en regresar al campamento a continuar con su programa. Pienso que su regreso fue una buena señal para el resto de los scouts que continuaron trabajando en todas las actividades programadas. Ese mismo día en la tarde llegó de Miami mi hijo Daniel.
Los médicos le habían dicho a mi esposa y a mi hijo que el riesgo en el tratamiento era que no despertara o que si despertara tuviera un daño cerebral. Había que esperar de 24 a 36 horas. A las 36 horas comenzaron a disminuirme los sedantes y comencé a despertarme y a moverme y recuperé el sentido y con los ojos pedía ir al campamento, pues me estaban esperando. Los médicos decían que estaba reaccionando demasiado rápido. Algunas enfermeras alegres abrazaban a mi esposa y a mi hijo y les decían “es un milagro”. Estaba lleno de tubos, agujas y equipos de toda clase. Mi esposa me decía que tenía que quedarme tranquilo y ante mis movimientos me recordó: “El Scout es obediente” y yo le contesté con la mano hacienda la señal del saludo scout. A los cuatro días los médicos, para conocer la causa del paro cardíaco, decidieron hacerme un cateterismo, y ante el bloqueo de las arterias decidieron hacerme un by-pass cuádruple. Al mismo tiempo, los scouts de la tropa 182 terminaban su semana de campamento donde ganaron todos los premios. También atendieron diariamente a servicios religiosos y rezaban el Santo Rosario pidiendo a Dios por mi salud, éste ultimo dirigido por el scout Matthew Goller, capellán de la tropa. Todos estos rezos y premios fueron muy útiles para ayudar a mi recuperación. ¡Realmente me sentí muy orgulloso de todos los scouts y adultos los cuales unidos como tropa mantuvieron el espíritu scout vivo durante mi estadía en el hospital!
Durante la fogata de clausura del campamento, el “eagle scout” Luther Beebe entregó a mi hijo Alejandro una placa de madera con una caricatura de mi persona, fue un momento muy conmovedor, me cuentan. Más adelante, otro scout Alejandro Perez-Gonzalez (primo de mi esposa) me trajo la placa al hospital (ICU) y la foto que me tomaron cuando me la entregaba, fue la primera actividad que recordé de toda la dura prueba de los días anteriores. ¡Recuperé mi memoria en este momento! También comencé a dibujar caricaturas de los médicos y las enfermeras (Anexo caricaturas).
Después de doce días en el hospital e implantación de un desfibrilador (ICD) en mi pecho, nuestro hijo Daniel condujo la minivan a nuestro hogar en Jacksonville, Florida. Durante esos días en el ICU y el cuarto regular, estaba muy agradecido y entusiasta sobre la nueva oportunidad que me estaba dando Dios de continuar en este mundo. Sé que Dios nos bendice cuando utilizamos los talentos que él nos ha dado para ayudar a otros. También creo que estamos doblemente bendecidos cuando otros nos aman de una manera incondicional. Todo el amor, familia, amistad, mensajes, flores, tarjetas, globos, y oraciones me han demostrado que estar doblemente-bendecidos implica una gran responsabilidad. Ahora tengo que entender la misión que Dios me ha dado, y ampliar mis lecciones y amor más allá de los que me amen. Cada vez que toco el ICD en mi pecho doy gracias a Dios y recuerdo esta nueva responsabilidad.
Después de veintiséis días pude volver brevemente a nuestra reunión semanal de la tropa y dar gracias por el esfuerzo de todos los scouts y adultos que asistieron al campamento de verano, y a las oraciones de toda la tropa. Uno de los padres, Melissa Goller, mantuvo a todos los padres informados por E-mail. Les dije a los scouts que de la misma forma que se prueban a los capitanes durante una tormenta y se prueban a los líderes en una crisis, los verdaderos scouts se prueban durante una emergencia. Ésta es la razón verdadera sobre el significado de “siempre listo”. Tenemos que estar “siempre listos” para manejar cualquier emergencia. Les hablé sobre la importancia de ser reverente a Dios, de la importancia de los adultos entrenados en CPR lo cual fue vital para salvar mi vida, de las habilidades que demostraron al estar preparados para emergencias, mantener la calma y tomar las decisiones correctas. Pude también atender a mi primer evento en público en la cena de “los Caballeros de Colón” donde dieron una placa a mi hijo Alejandro como scout católico del año. (Foto anexa).
Una semana más tarde pude también asistir a nuestra reunión del Comité de Padres de la tropa, donde hablé de esta experiencia y de sus lecciones. Les agradecí de nuevo lo que hicieron por mí y compartí tres lecciones:
Primero, debemos tener fe. Como scouts tenemos nuestro deber hacia Dios y El nos ha concedido las promesas de ser sano, feliz, y rico si le obedecemos y ayudamos a otros.
En segundo lugar, utilice la energía curativa del humor. Durante mis días en ICU tuve que reír y toser para mejorar mis respiraciones, dibujé caricaturas, y visité a otros pacientes en sus cuartos. El humor nunca me faltó, definitivamente es la mejor medicina.
Tercero, durante épocas difíciles, debemos rodearnos de gente positiva. El optimismo y el pesimismo son contagiosos. La gente optimista le animará hacia adelante. Esto es también una manera de ayudar a otros. Durante mis días en el hospital caminaba por los pasillos y hablaba con la gente y también le pedía a los capellanes visitar a otros pacientes. Creo que los capellanes, los sacerdotes, la familia y los buenos amigos son instrumentos importantes en lo que llaman un milagro de Dios. Estas lecciones aceleraron mi recuperación y mi vuelta a nuestra tropa y vida normal.
Un mes después del 1 de julio, 2007, fui de nuevo a mis actividades scouts. Estoy seguro que el impacto de ese día durará por siempre en las memorias de nuestra familia y amigos, nuestros scouts de la tropa 182 y los adultos, más de 900 scouts que asistieron al campamento, y a toda la gente que conocen esta historia. Soy un nuevo soldado en esta lucha diaria contra enfermedades cardíacas. Estoy apoyando una cruzada para duplicar el número de AED en los campamentos scouts y para hacer CPR obligatorio en el entrenamiento de líderes scouts. Mi intención es escribir, dar charlas, y aumentar conocimiento sobre la importancia de la fe, la oración, del estado de preparación para emergencias, CPR, AED, ICD, la salud, ejercicios y la ayuda a otros.
Soy un sobreviviente de SCA por la gracia de Dios y estoy seguro que después de meditar acerca de estas lecciones usted se sentirá también doblemente bendecido.
