<\/a><\/div>\n
This week we worked predominantly with the law enforcement division.  <\/span>We shadowed Sean Isham who is the supervisor for the law enforcement rangers.  <\/span>He shared his experiences with us and taught us a great deal about how to be an efficient law enforcement ranger.  <\/span>Isham shared a video with us of an auto burglary that was caught on video by a C&O Canal Ranger.  <\/span>What we found especially interesting was his experience with Occupy Philadelphia he recently dealt with.  <\/span>I (Renee) attended the SET Team training at Temple Ambler Campus and saw how the rangers deal with protesters.  <\/span>Isham shared with us that the training came in to play many of times during his detail in Philadelphia.  <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/span>We also had the opportunity to shadow Anthony Arena.  <\/span>He displays professional and safe habits while performing his patrol in the park.  <\/span>Arena exhibited these qualities when we were first on scene for a serious medical emergency near Loudon Heights.  <\/span>The medical emergency was so severe that a helicopter was deployed close to the scene to transport the victim to the hospital.  <\/span>The day prior to this incident, we were called on scene for a man exposing himself to tubers on the Potomac River.  <\/span>This week started out to be very eventful.  <\/span>We learned a great deal being exposed to different situations that the law enforcement rangers encounter in their line of work. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/a><\/a>The next two days consisted of Visitor Services.  <\/span>We worked at the John Brown Museum transiting visitors from one room to another.  <\/span>Our favorite places were the Information Center and the Visitor Center at Cavalier Heights.  <\/span>The park visitors would come in and ask a variety of questions, but the questions were generally about the orientation of the park.  <\/span>With the help of a map we were successfully showing park visitors how to navigate around beautiful Harpers Ferry NHP.  <\/span>There was also a roving detail where we were able to walk around and be a visible presence in the park.  <\/span>Jackie got the \u201cmillion dollar question\u201d that we were waiting to be asked the whole summer.  <\/span>It was about the advertisement that is located on Maryland Heights.  <\/span>The only work visible is \u201cPOWDER\u201d.  <\/span>What kind of advertisement would you think that was about?  <\/span>My first thought was that it was about gun powder because it is in Harpers Ferry, but the whole advertisement actually read: \u201cMennen’s Borated Talcum Toilet Powder\u201d and was painted in 1903 and 1906.  <\/span>It was great to talk to park visitors and assist them as well.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/a>The last day of this week, Jackie and I were sent out to the park to do patrolling on our own.  <\/span>We opened the gates in the morning and answered some calls on the radio.  <\/span>We were able to watch the artillery shooting at Bolivar Heights and sit in on Thomas Jefferson\u2019s (re-enactor) presentation.  <\/span>Public relations filled most of our day.  <\/span>It was great to be able to carry out our duties without supervision.  <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
