There will be two sessions -one from noon to 2 p.m., the other from 4 to 6 p.m. by 2nd Lt. Caroline Wellman OgdenALC Public Affairs A new club that will serve as a focal point for motor- cycle concerns and issues on base will kick off its official activities here April 13 at Club Hill with various safety and information sessions. The Hill Field Motorcycle Riders Association, otherwise known as the Canyon Crashers, will host a skills refresher confidence course, perform safety inspections, present safety information and provide details about the new club. The club will promote safe riding across the base and outside of the gates, said Maj. Mark Devoe, current club coordinator, who explained that the idea for a club started with Col. Joseph Sokol, 75 Air Base Wing vice commander, during last year's riding season. "Safety is a primary concern when it comes to riding," said Colonel Sokol. "Looking at the numbers across the Air Force and with the two fatalities from Hill last summer, we saw that we had an opportunity to really promote safe riding." "The association will be a great forum for motorcycle education and the mentoring of new riders by more experienced riders," he added. "We want riders here to know that the association exists as a resource to promote fun and responsible riding." "Membership is optional, but safety is mandatory," Major Devoe said. While membership in the club isn't mandatory for all base riders, attendance at the first session is. Anyone who has a bike reg-- After the initial meeting, the Canyon Crashers will have four separate motorcycle safety days here during the riding While details have yet to be determined, attendance at two of these days : will be mandatory for anyone who has a bike registered on sea-so- n. r"" " base. These safety days will serve as times to review and standardize riding expectations and to disseminate information to riders. Ideally, information from all offices involved in motorcycle safety will work with the club to achieve these purposes. "Before, there were several base organizations involved with motorcycle standards and motorcycle safety. Security Forces is involved; the safety offices are involved," Maj. Devoe said. "We're hoping that this association will provide a single point of contact for anything to do with motorcycles." For example, he said, gate guards must make a determination at the gate if a motorcyclist is meeting safety standards. Often, riders disagree with those determinations. Now, riders will have a way to appeal those decisions as well as to suggest improvements for motorcycle programs. The association will also meet regularly. The club is planning to organize group rides, community service activities and other group activities for riding club members.

Fitness Center, the Base Exchange, Commissary, Bowling Center, Youth Activities Center, Child Development Center and some workplaces. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and AED training have been provided to personnel in each area. Each year, about 220,000 people suffer cardiac arrest and only about 5 percent survive. Cardiac arrest is a condition in which abnormal heart rhythms called arrhythmias cause the heart's electrical impulses to suddenly become chaotic. When this happens, the heart stops abruptly, and the victim collapses, quickly losing consciousness. Unless a normal heart rhythm is restored within a few minutes, the victim will most likely die. Defibrillation, which means delivering an electrical shock to the heart, is the only known treatment to restore the normal rhythm. For every minute defibrillation is delayed, the victim's chances of survival goes down 0 percent. For more information, contact Major Hum erick at Ext. |
