to train more than 100 7th Graders at
Peak to Peak Charter School in Hands Only CPR.
WHAT: Hands Only CPR Training hosted by Peak to Peak Charter School. The training will be presented by the American Heart Association and is sponsored by Exempla Healthcare. The students will listen to Debra Steveson a nurse at Good Samaritan Medical Center who will discuss heart health, and will hear from a young woman who survived sudden cardiac arrest at 17 years old.
The students will be trained in Hands Only CPR using the American Heart Association’s innovative CPR Anytime curriculum. It’s a flexible, convenient, and self-paced program for learning CPR. The kit provides everything you need to learn CPR at home including an inflatable CPR manikin, a 22-minute DVD, and includes information about infant CPR and choking protocols.
The CPR Anytime 22 minute course is designed to share with friends and family, so each student will be tasked with going home and training others in Hands Only CPR using their CPR Anytime Kit. Peak to Peak as a school, has set an aggressive goal to have 700 people trained in CPR through this program
WHEN: November, 15, 2012 / 11:15am to 1:15pm
WHERE Peak to Peak Charter School, 800 Merlin Drive, Lafayette, CO 80026
WHY: Less than 8% of sudden cardiac arrest victim survive because most people who witness the arrest do not know how to perform CPR. It could be your mother, your son, your co-worker, your best friend, or your neighbor.
Five minutes is the difference between life and death. If no CPR is provided or no defibrillation occurs within 3 to 5 minutes, the chances of survival drop.
About 5,800 children 18 years old and under suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrest each year from all causes – including trauma, cardiovascular causes and sudden infant death syndrome.

Rush-hour accident claims life of motorcyclist
Aug 22nd
A motorcyclist has died as the result of injuries sustained in a traffic accident which occurred at 30th Street and Oneal Parkway on August 21, 2012.
At 4:53 p.m., the female driver of a 2000 Lexus SUV pulled out of a private parking lot driveway and was attempting to make a left turn onto northbound 30th Street. The driver told police she thought she had enough time to safely make the turn, but a motorcyclist traveling southbound on 30th Street did not have enough time to stop.
Although the motorcycle rider braked to avoid an accident, he collided with the SUV. He was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.
Witnesses at the scene attempted CPR, but were unsuccessful. Police are not releasing the victim’s name until notifications are made to his family.
The accident is still under investigation.
