Young Skilled Auto Service Technician 
to Compete at WorldSkills Competition

Leesburg, Va.  - Paul Allen Danenberg, of Boise, Idaho, will represent the United States in Automobile Technology at the biennial WorldSkills Competition in Kazan, Russia. Danenberg will compete as a member
 of the WorldSkills USA team, selected and trained by SkillsUSA. The 45th international event will be held Aug. 22-27, 2019.
 
Danenberg looks forward to competing in Kazan. "Seeing all of the different cars that aren't available in America - and being able to work on them - is going to be a valuable experience that I will never forget," he said.
When asked what he most enjoys about his skill, Danenberg said, "You can see any combination of weird issues: a vacuum leak causing a fuel rail pressure sensor code on a VW; a jumped timing chain causing a low fuel rail pressure on a GM; or a ground that has high resistance causing all kinds of electrical problems from voltage feedback. The work is very rewarding."
After the WorldSkills competition, Danenberg hopes to become a field service engineer, traveling across the country to diagnose and repair issues that nobody else can fix. "It sounds like a great opportunity to travel and perform my favorite part about my job. Eventually, I would also like to give back to my community and become an automotive teacher for a postsecondary program." 
 
Every two years, WorldSkills hosts the world championships of skills, which 
attracts more than 1,600 competitors from more than 76 countries and regions around the world to compete in more than 50 different trade skills. Considered the best in the world in each trade skill, contestants compete before the public for four days in contests that are run and judged by industry using demanding international standards. They represent the best students from each nation and many are highly trained by their sponsoring country. To see a list of competitions, go to:  https://worldskills2019.com/en/event/skills/
 
There are 22 members on the WorldSkills USA Team, with an average age of 19.Other occupational areas in which the United States plans to compete include Aircraft Maintenance, Autobody Repair, Bakery, Bricklaying, Cabinetmaking, Car Painting, CNC Milling, Cooking, Cyber Security, Graphic Design, Hairdressing, Heavy Vehicle Maintenance, Mechanical Engineering CAD, Mechatronics, Plumbing and Heating, Print Media, Restaurant Service, Web Technologies and Welding. 
 
Hundreds of thousands of spectators, public policymakers, employers, teachers, trainers, technical experts and government officials from around the world will attend this competition. The event will be held at the Kazan Expo International Exhibition Centre. For more information about the competition, go to:   https://worldskills2019.com/en

The CSI Stage Door Series will present "The Second Coming of Joan of Arc" at  7:30 p.m. on April 18 the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium. Tickets are $10 for adults or $5 for students. Tickets will be available at the CSI Box Office, by calling 732-6288, at the door, or by going online to  http://tickets.csi.edu.

She led an army to victory, crowned a king, took on the entire Catholic Church...and was dead by 19. Joan of Arc is the MOST documented figure of the 15th century, and yet myths about her pervade the history books, to this day. In The Second Coming of Joan of Arc, by Carolyn Gage, the audience will discover the real Jeanne Romee, and through her story, the brutal institutional misogyny that women continue to face. Drawn from the detailed records of her two trials-john including hundreds of testimonies by all involved in her short life-The Second Coming finally tells the truth about the simple- minded, virginal peasant girl, who was anything but. 

Jennifer Miller performs this one-woman show that explores not only the experience of "Joan of Arc," but relates that experience to contemporary women. Join her and discover the defiant, irreverent, clever, and unrepentant Jeanne, who remained unfailingly true to her own visions. 
The CSI Stage Door Series, intimate arts experiences where both performers and audience members are on the stage itself, are designed to be thought-provoking and a little out of the ordinary in different ways - whether it's because of the intimate setting, the material performed, the way they are presented, or the collaborations involved. 

For more information, contact the CSI Fine Arts Center at 732-6788.

The need for blood is constant and only volunteer donors can fulfill that need for patients in our community. Nationwide, someone needs a unit of blood every 2 to 3 seconds and most of us will need blood in our lifetime.
