June starts summer and we have more Bikes on the road.
Be diligent watching out and Be safe!


MAY THE SUN RISE IN FRONT OF ME
MAY THE RAIN FALL BEHIND ME
AND THE WIND FOLLOW ME
MAY THE ANGELS OF MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE ME
GUARD MY TRAVELS
FOR THEY KNOW THE PERILS
OF THE ROAD AHEAD OF ME
KEEP ME SAFE THROUGH THE ROUGH CITY STREETS
ON MY WAY TO THE LAND OF SWIRLING TURNS
AND ROLLING HILLS
LET THE COLOURS OF FALL KEEP ME WARM
LET THE EAGLE GUIDE ME TO THE MOUNTAINTOPS
LET THE MOONS LIGHT GUIDE ME
THROUGH THE NIGHT
MAY MY TIRES NOT FAIL ME
NOR MY ENGINE GROW OLD
MAY MY BIKE DRAW LIFE
FROM THE STREAMS I PASS
KEEP MY SEAT SOFT AND MY MIND SHARP
LET THE AIR OF SPRING BREATHE LIFE
INTO MY SOUL
TO JOURNEY TO ANOTHER ADVENTURE
BESIDE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
-Rev's Roadhouse

Maggys Corner

A B C

I know school is out for the summer! But do you know your ABC'S ?
Since many will be on vacations, at family barbeques, outings with small children, with visitors or just spending a lazy day in the park just to get out of the summer's heat. I thought I would share with you how very easy it is to save a life!

You just never know when it might be You that saves a life!

The three basic parts of CPR are easily remembered as "ABC"
A for airway, B for breathing, and C for circulation.

A is for airway. The victim's airway must be open for breathing to be restored.

B is for breathing. Rescue breathing is begun when a child/adult isn't breathing.
Someone performing rescue breathing essentially breathes for the victim by forcing air into the lungs.

C is for circulation. Chest compressions can sometimes restore circulation. This procedure helps circulate blood and maintain blood flow to major organs.
Guess what Forevers!
You do not need to be a medical layperson to perform CPR! Thats right just follow the easy steps below!


CALL, PUMP, BLOW

1. CALL
Check the victim for unresponsiveness. If the person is not responsive and not breathing or not breathing normally. Call 911 and return to the victim. In most locations the emergency dispatcher can assist you with CPR instructions

2. PUMP
If the victim is still not breathing normally, coughing or moving, begin chest compressions. Push down in the center of the chest 2 inches 30 times. Pump hard and fast at the rate of at least 100/minute, faster than once per second.

3. BLOW
Tilt the head back and lift the chin. Pinch nose and cover the mouth with yours and blow until you see the chest rise. Give 2 breaths. Each breath should take 1 second

CONTINUE WITH 30 PUMPS AND 2 BREATHS UNTIL HELP ARRIVES

NOTE: This ratio is the same for for EVERYONE!! ADULT, CHILD, INFANT and one-person & two-person CPR. In two-person CPR the person pumping the chest stops while the other gives mouth-to-mouth breathing.

Hoping that no one needs to use this this month or on the near furture! I love you all so much and will be looking forward to spending many summer days playing Spades with You! If you would like feel free to print the article! I keep mine on the back of my kitchen cuboard!
