CPR Training Set For Nov 6

You and a friend are on a hike. Your friend suddenly collapses and is not breathing. His heart is no longer beating. Would you know what to do?

A teenager is choking while children and adults watch helpless to intervene. Could you help?

If someone you loved was in an emergency situation, would you be prepared to save their life? While we cannot always prevent these things from happening, we can prepare ourselves and learn what to do should an emergency occur.

To improve emergency training among the public, CPR and Obstructed Airway/Choking training is being offered by local emergency medical services providers on Saturday, November 6 at 9 am or 1 pm. Kris Peterson, one of the event coordinators, said, “We think it is important for individuals to learn and participate in critical lifesaving skills that will make our community a safer place to live. While calling 911 is a critical first step, every minute counts and the ability to respond while EMS is en route can sometimes be the difference between life and death.”

This training is open to everyone – citizens, parents, teachers, friends and loved ones. For more information or to register call 744-8118 or toll tree 888/CPR-6121.

Wendover Road acquired its picturesque name in the 1940’s when residents voted by an 8-7 margin to replace “Carcass Lane.” In the minds of many of the neighbors, the old name brought back unpleasant memories of a slaughterhouse previously located at the end of the street.
