daughter Rachael Progress April 20 1995 Page ATM safety tips Only rarely has there been crime in Utah associated with Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) Just the same the Utah Bankers Association is undertaking an “educational’' public service campaign to create safety awareness regarding the use of ATMs Lawrence W Alder president of the Utah Bankers Association says most ATMs are located in safe heavily trafficked areas but the Bankers Association still recommends that customers pay heed to the following suggestions when using an ATM especially during nighttime hours: General ATM Safety Tips Observe the area pnor to approaching an ATM and avoid approaching an ATM if your observations indicate there is reason for concern for your personal safety If you sense something is wrong conceal the transaction retrieve your card and go to another location When possible have someone with you when you use an ATM during nighttime hours During late hours and when alone consider using ATMs located inside ie grocery stores open businesses malls etc Never share your personal identification number (PIN) or give it out over the telephone even if the caller identifies him or herself as your banker or a police officer Commit your PIN to memory Do not keep your card and PIN m the same location Wait until you leave the vicinity of the ATM to count your money Safety Tins Have your ATM card in hand along with other transaction materials ready to transact your business when approaching the ATM Allow an adequate amount of distance between you and others using the ATM Do not allow anyone to watch you enter your PIN Do not display your card when leaving the ATM Safety Tips Pull up close to the ATM Remain in your vehicle while conducting your transaction Keep doors locked and windows rolled up before and after making your transaction Keep your vehicle running while conducting your transaction Law enforcement officers report that the number of negatively related incidences associated with ATMs in Utah is very low but the possibility of a crime always exists Salt Lake County Sheriff Aaron Kennard says routine caution is good advice when using an ATM “People shouldn't be afraid of using an ATM but regard for their personal safety should not be dismissed in a rush to obtain convenient cash" Sheriff Kennard said Throughout Utah there are approximately 550 Automated Teller Machines associated with banks A recent survey conducted by the Gallup Poll for “The American Banker" indicated ATM use is one of the fastest growing offered by the banks Lon Zubeck has been the Chairperson of the Activities Committee which has included Miss Esther Duncan Mrs Chandra Callister and Mrs Judy Hoelzle as well as students from each of the grades Previous activities have included dances a volleyball competition and seeing the movie "The Secret Garden” at the theatre An activity has been held about every 4 or 5 weeks and many of the students have enjoyed all of them The Della Middle School staff would encourage parents to support this program by encouraging their children to maintain good citizenship and particularly by being sure that their children are in school during these aclivities--tparticipate or not as each child has earned If you ride a bike wear a helmet As temperatures rise so do the number of children and adults riding bicycles Each year 200 Americans are killed in bicycling accidents and more than 500000 are injured of the deaths are caused by head injury These injuries can be reduced by 85 just be wearing a helmet Helmets should always be wom every time you or your child rides a bicycle You can find quality helmets for under $15 The price of a helmet is much lower than a lost life or years of rehabilitation after a head injury Bicycle helmets are constructed of expanded polystyrene foam that absorbs the energy of an impact to lessen or prevent head injury Many helmets have a hard outer lexan (plastic) shell to protect against collision with a sharp object When evaluating a helmet to purchase the Utah Safely Council suggests that you consider safely fit and looks Safety: Two private organizations American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and Snell Memorial Foundation test and rate helmets Snell tests are more demanding and unlike ANSI they test samples of certified helmets to ensure they meet their standards Unless the helmet has an official green Snell or red ANSI slicker you can’t be sure it will protectyou Fit: The helmet should fit snugly right on top of the head A helmet that moves forward or back enough to expose the head may not protect you Choose a helmet with sufficient sizing pads and adjustable straps to attain the correct fit Weight of the helmet is important when fitting toddlers Looks: If you don’t like the way it looks you most likely won’t wear it A helmet is a item Once it’s been damaged in an accident or in any other if the way you should replace damage is not obvious Some helmet companies will replace a helmet free or fora small fee once it has been damaged in an accident Dorothy Keddington Author Keddington to Present Workshops at MHS Dorothy M Keddington is the author of five romantic
