CALENDAR By Linda McAlpine Conley News Service WEST BEND — For Ari- anah Martin, a first-grader at Fair Park Elementary School in West Bend, the first day of school Tuesday was similar to that of her classmates — she sat through an all-first-grade assembly led by Jodee Stah- mer, principal, to lear n about lunch procedures and school rules and then head- ed off to her classroom — all without being physically present. Martin, who has spinal muscular atrophy, will attend school this year via a telepresence robot she will operate from home through a laptop computer. Tuesday mor ning, the wheeled robot, which stands just a tad taller than Martin's classmates and has an iPad that allows peo- ple to see her and for her to see others, took her place at the head of the line when it came time to go to class after the assembly. "Follow me," Jennifer Taylor, Martin's teacher, told her, and the robot silently glided down the hallway to Martin's class- room. "We've put lines of col- ored tape on the floors so Ari can see them and have the robot follow them in the halls, her classroom and other rooms in the build- ing," said Rebecca Sohm, special education teacher. In class, Martin's robot has a special spot to park and a desk all its own. As her classmates filed into the room, several waved to Martin, and she could be heard giggling through the robot's speaker. "It's kind of hard and kind of easy," Martin said when asked about navigat- ing the robot. "It takes prac- tice." "She has been doing an awesome job of maneuver- ing it," Taylor said of the robot. "Last year, she attended classes using Skype, but now she will be able to participate and have social interactions with her classmates." Parker Roell, one of Mar- tin's fellow students, said he thought the robot "is really cool," and that using it as her stand-in "will be good for her." Kayla Martinez said she's happy her friend will have a presence in the classroom, even though it's only in the robotic form. "She even has her own desk," Martinez said. "She did Skype last year but now she can move around," Lydia Hoier, another classmate, said. "It will be like she's really here and that's nice." Email: lmcalpine@conleynet.com. Woman's Club member takes part in Operation Smile OCONOMOWOC — Helen Hertneky, a member of the Oconomowoc Woman's Club, recently returned from a mission trip to the Philip- pines with Operation Smile. Operation Smile sends medical groups to other nations to perform surgeries free of charge on patients with cleft lips and cleft palates. A total of 129 surgeries were performed on the mis- sion Hertneky most recently attended. Hertneky has been volunteering with Operation Smile since 1999. Her next mission with Operation Smile will be to Ghana in November. Hundreds of patients come to the hospital in hope of receiving surgery. Many of these people with cleft lip or palate abnormalities are not allowed to attend schools, hold a job or get married. The Oconomowoc Woman's Club members col- lect toys, flip-flops and toi- letries to donate. Members also make quilts to send and the club gives yearly mone- tary donations to Operation Smile. This past year, over 30 quilts were donated by club members. — Enterprise Staff Submitted photo Helen Hertneky enjoys time with children in the Phillipines being treated for cleft lips and palates through Operation Smile. Rogers to hold job fair WAUKESHA — Rogers Memorial Hospital will host a job fair from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sept. 14 in its Brown Deer hospi- tal community room, at 4600 W. Schroeder Drive. Rogers is searching for full-time, part-time and pool psychiatric nurses to fill vacant positions at its West Allis, Brown Deer and Oconomowoc facilities. Those who are interested are encour- aged to provide a résumé and any other relevant documentation demon- strating skills and work- place experience. On-site interviews will be con- ducted by Rogers' Human Resources Department. According to the announcement, the newly created nursing positions are in response to growing demand for care in the West Allis, Brown Deer and Oconomowoc communi- ties. www.rogershospital.org Robot takes student's place on first day of school John Ehlke/Conley News Service First-grade student Landon Becker waves to Ari Martin after an assembly for the first day of school at Fair Park Elementary School Tuesday morning in West Bend. Martin will be attending school with the use of a telepresence robot. Martin has been diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy. The telepresence robot is the first used by a school district in this manor in the state. See video of the robot in action at bit.ly/SchoolBot.
