Seatbelt campaign draws to a close Police wrapped up their weeklong child seat/seatbelt enforcement mobilization Sept. 22, during which drivers saw stepped-up patrols designed to minimize the number of child injuries and deaths in Tempe. Tempe police are working with the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety to help reduce the risk of death in passenger cars by 71 percent for infants and 54 percent for toddlers ages 1 to 4 years. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children age 1 to 14, according to statistics provided by Molly Enright, public information officer for Tempe PD. In the United States during 2009, Enright said, 1,314 children ages 14 years and younger died as occupants in motor vehicle crashes, and approximately 179,000 were injured based on figures compiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Proper use of child restraints and regular seat belt use is the most effective way to protect people and reduce fatalities in motor vehicle crashes, Enright said statistics show. As of August, children in Arizona under the age of 5 must be properly restrained in a car seat and children ages 5 to 8 who are less than 4 feet 9 inches tall must be in a proper child restraint system. Sureño rated as ‘High Performing’ Kyrene del Sureño School has been identified by the Arizona Department of Education as a recipient of the Title 1 “High Performing Reward” designation. Criteria for the recognition require schools to meet annual measurable objectives, including earning an “A” letter grade; scoring average achievement and growth statistics among their Bottom Quartile students; and having a current-year graduation rate greater than 80 percent. Officials say the recognition helps demonstrate that students are receiving the skills needed to prepare them for college and careers, and for the choices and challenges they will encounter beyond high school. Tempe High event trains 150 for CCR Nearly 150 Tempe students now have the skills to recognize an emergency and save a life as a result of the handsonly training they received in cardio-cerebral resuscitation, or CCR. During a session at Tempe High School, students were able to receive guidance from representatives of Tempe St. Luke’s Hospital, the Tempe Fire Department and the Tempe Union High School District. “This exercise will greatly expand the number of people who have the skills needed to save lives from sudden cardiac arrest,” said Mitch Bycura, deputy chief of medical services for Tempe Fire. “Having the skills necessary to start CCR before paramedics arrive is critical.” In addition to the Sept. 21 training, coaches, security staff and TUHSD educators received CCR training in August. In October, district officials plan to expand the program to the remaining six schools within the district. Dr. Greg Wyman, associate superintendent, said the program has brought valuable training to many who otherwise might not receive it. “We are fortunate to have this partnership with the city of Tempe and Tempe St. Luke’s that will provide our students and staff with these lifesaving skills.” According to a district spokeswoman, sudden cardiac arrest can strike anyone, anywhere, and when it does, anyone, anywhere, and when it does, the victims’ survival depends on the people around them. Training more people to perform CCR increases survival rates by enabling more possible bystanders to handle an emergency, she said. Experts say that between 250,000 to 300,000 people in the U.S. die every year from sudden cardiac arrest. Unlike heart attacks, people who suffer sudden cardiac arrest may have little or no warning, and the disorder usually causes nearly instantaneous death. The Tempe Fire Department offers a four-hour CPR and first aid classes. Both prepare people for an emergency by developing skills to be able to give immediate care for injured or suddenly ill people. Classes concentrate on the first few minutes of care until medical professionals arrive. Information: 480-858- 7200, www.heart.org/CPR or .tempe.gov/fire.
