Interviews

Interview with Amy Rivers, Director of Curriculum at Blackwell Academy, about Blackwell's shift into fine arts:

Stan: "Next up, I have Amy Rivers, Director of Curriculum at Blackwell Academy. Hi, Amy, I understand you're here to discuss an exciting new direction for Arcadia Bay's most elite private school."
Amy: "Exciting is the perfect word, Stan. Thanks to a generous donation from the Prescott Foundation, Blackwell has begun shifting its focus to fine arts."
Stan: "That sounds fantastic, Amy."
Amy: "We'll also be adding a fifth year of classes to offer students a jump on collegiate-level creative skills. This semester we've added theater and next year we're adding a photography track."
Stan: "Photography! Oh. Oh, snap. Do you know who'll be running the program?
Amy: Well, Stan, currently we're interviewing some well-known photographers; Gabriel Walker and Mark Jefferson, to name a few."
Stan: "Good things in store for those Blackwell students. Thanks for filling us in, Amy."
Amy: "Anytime."

Interview with Jack Kearney, chief of the Arcadia Bay Fire Department, about the spread of the forest fire:

Stan: "And we're back. You're listening to 87.9 FM, The STYR! I have with me Jack Kearney, chief of the Arcadia Bay Fire Department. I'm gonna cut right to the chase, Jack. What can you tell us about this huge fire?"
Jack: "It's a nasty one, alright. Big, hard to contain. We don't typically see fires like this on the Oregon coast this time of year. There haven't been any serious injuries yet, but that could change any second."
Stan: "Unusual indeed. What causes a fire to behave that way?"
Jack: "I don't honestly know. Right now, we're doing everything we can just to keep it contained."
Stan: "How about civilians and all this? Are we, uh, gonna have to prepare to evacuate in the next few days?"
Jack: "I don't think it'll come to that. Well, the fire is spreading in an unusual way, sort of surrounding the northern part of Arcadia Bay, but not advancing toward it."
Stan: "Scary. Well, there you have it, folks. Straight from the fire chief's mouth. Thanks for filling us in, Jack."
Jack: "You're welcome. Been a pleasure."
