BICYCLE DEATHS cont. from page 1 the hospital with severe head injuries, and both died the next day after doctors and nurses spent over 24 hours trying to save them. Dr. Millar noted that, if not deadly, brain injuries can still be life-altering and aren’t readily “fixable” like a broken bone. He added that most traumatic injuries could be prevented with helmets or seat belts and some planning before getting on a bike, ATV, or motorcycle. Be mindful and aware at all times. Make sure you look ahead for obstacles, including wildlife and dogs that might be off leash when you’re out on the trail. Parents should make sure that children’s bike helmets are always readily available to make sure kids don’t dart off on a bike or scooter without it. Leaving helmets on the handlebars of their bikes or scooters is a great idea. Also, follow the “2-2-2 rule” to ensure helmets are secured properly. This means having the helmet placed two finger-widths above the eyebrows, with straps fitting like a V-shape with two fingers around the ear, and two fingers placed next to each other should be all that fits under the chin. The effectiveness of a helmet is compromised when it doesn’t fit well or is improperly positioned or strapped. Also, note that helmets expire and need to be replaced periodically. If there is a crash, the helmet should also be replaced. More recently, electric scooters and bikes have been especially dangerous, as they tend to go a lot faster, and often have more inexperienced riders using them. Millar cautions that cyclists should assume that they are invisible to drivers, as they often are! On trails, stay alert and aware that there are others using the trail, too. Last year on the Murdock Canal Trail in Cedar Hills, two men collided and suffered fatal brain injuries. “One man was an experienced rider who was riding a road bike and waring a helmet, while the other was an inexperienced rider on an e-bike without a helmet.” He added, “When you’re on the trail… you have to trust no one and look out for your own safety and the safety of others. It needs to be a culture of safety as you ride; it’s part of riding responsibly.” Drivers should do their part, too. Don’t drive distracted. Stay off the phone, clear items that can block views, and don’t multi-task while driving—like eating or putting on makeup, etc. The fatal head-on accident involving the two bikers on the Murdock Canal Trail occurred June 26, 2022 at about 8:30 a.m., according to a police report. Kevin Petersen, 66, was unconscious and receiving aid from a paramedic when officers arrived on scene. Quoc Lieu, 49, was semi-conscious and also receiving aid from medical responders. Both were taken to LIVE HERE, PLAY HERE, GIVE HERE. latest painting “Father Patrick, Final Blessing.” This captivating portrait pays tribute to Father Patrick, a beloved and revered individual whose impact on the lives of many has been immeasurable.

Immersive Outdoor Music Experience to Return to Huntsville Monastery OVLT is a volunteer organization that works By Johanna Droubay Back by popular demand, IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the WildTM will return to the Huntsville Monastery July 29 in celebration of Ogden Valley Land Trust’s (OVLT’s) 25th anniversary. IN A LANDSCAPE is an interactive concert series that travels the country, playing in iconic outdoor settings such as Yosemite and Joshua Tree. The fundraising concert at Huntsville Monastery will benefit OVLT’s mission of protecting the natural diversity and beauty of Ogden Valley for future generations. “Ogden Valley Land Trust is thrilled to bring IN A LANDSCAPE back to Ogden Valley this summer,” says OVLT Board Chair Scott Murri. “Last year’s concert was so well received, we wanted more people to experience it. The concert format is truly special.” Classical pianist Hunter Noack will play a 9-foot Steinway grand piano on a flatbed trailer at the Monastery, a 1,050-acre property that OVLT (in partnership with Summit Land Conservancy) helped to preserve, in perpetuity, from future development. His music will be conveyed to concertgoers via wireless headsets so they can listen while exploring the Monastery meadows and taking in the spectacular mountain views. Tim and Lorna Foley, who attended last year’s event, called IN A LANDSCAPE “the most significant and beautiful outdoor concert we have ever enjoyed. The combination of a formal model to protect precious lands, along with the musical genius of Hunter Noack, was not only a gift but a truly spiritual experience.” with landowners to preserve a portion or all of their undeveloped property in a manner that is defined in a conservation easement contract. A conservation easement is a voluntary legal contract between a landowner and OVLT in which the landowner places permanent restrictions on the future use of their property in order to protect scenic, historic, cultural, recreational, wildlife, ecological, and/or agricultural resources. A gift of a conservation easement often benefits a landowner by creating immediate tax benefits and by permanently protecting important conservation qualities of the property without the landowner having to relinquish ownership. The July 29 fundraiser event will begin at 4:00 p.m. with a silent auction, with the concert following at 6:00 p.m. The Monastery is located at 1250 South 9500 East in Huntsville. To become an event sponsor or to donate to the silent auction, please contact ogdenvalleylandtrust@gmail.com. This event will be limited to 400 guests; tickets are now on sale and may be purchased for $75 at ogdenvalleylandtrust.org/events.
