Smash out Drugs was a smashing successful Red Ribbon Week theme in October at
St. John the Baptist Elementary School. When students brought in more than 1,500 cans
of food for the church parish food pantry, they were treated to a pumpkin smashing of a
100-pound pumpkin that was grown in the school garden. The students also sold raffe
tickets for other pumpkins that were grown in the garden. That money went to the food
pantry as well. (Photo provided by Bob Mutz.)

Preparing for potential emergencies
and disasters Heres what Alta View
Hospital is doing to help prepare for
any emergency and support you.
PAID ADVERTISEMENT
As 2011 concludes, its natural to look back on the big headlines of the
past year. In doing so, the number of natural disasters is impressive: a tornado
in Joplin, Missouri; an earthquake in the nations capital; a tropical storm
in New England; flooding in the Midwest; wildfires in Texas; and a
tsunami in Hawaii.
Whenever communities are struck by disasters, hospitals generally play
an important role in responding. Thats why our team at Alta View
Hospital takes readiness seriously. We want to be prepared to help our
communities should a disaster happen here. I want to share with you
some of the emergency preparedness activities we routinely engage in
as a hospital.
Whats Alta View Hospitals role in a disaster or emergency situation?
Of course, our job is to care for people who may be injured or sick in a
disaster. But theres much more to it than that. We also work closely
with local government officials and community partners such as police
and fire departments, to make sure were all communicating and coordinating
effectively. And we have to be ready for so many possibilities:
How would our employees get to the hospital if the roads were damaged?
Would we have enough food and medical supplies if we couldnt restock
for several days? Where would we get clean water if our pipes were
damaged? What would we do to care for children who were well but arrived
with an injured parent?
One way we ensure we have a good answer to all those questions is
by holding regular disaster trainings. Intermountain Healthcare has a team
of experts who work extensively to train our staff in a variety of disaster sce-
narios. This team is made up of professionals with extensive experience in
handling disaster situations. They develop and implement scenarios that
challenge our staff in a variety of ways. Part of our training also includes
participation in mock drills with other Intermountain facilities across the
Salt Lake Valley.
The drills emulate real-life situations such as an earthquake. They allow us
to be better prepared if a similar event really happens.
We hope that well never be in a situation like this, but its critical that if we
are, were prepared in every possible way. You and your family will be com-
forted to know that if something does happen, Alta View Hospital will be
ready to help.
What can you and your family do to prepare for an emergency or
disaster? There are many things you can do to be ready. A great resource
that Ive used is Be Ready Utah, a state program that works to educate
individuals and families about steps they can take to be prepared. Youll find
a wealth of resources by visiting their website at www.beready.utah.gov.
If a disaster were to occur, check our Facebook page at www.fb.com/
AltaViewHospital, or our Twitter feed at www.twitter.com/AltaViewHosp,
for updates about the hospital and the community.
Emergencies or disasters can occur at anytime. Its important to do what
you can today to help prepare your loved ones for the future. Youll be
comforted to know that Alta View Hospital will be prepared and ready to
assist you and your family in any situation from an earthquake to a leg
break. Thanks for your support of Alta View Hospital. We look forward
to taking care of your family through the good times and, heaven forbid, the
not-so-good times.

In a time when many children may

Until there is a computer at every desk,

This year, the club donated more
than 2,500 dictionaries to third-grade stu-
dents in Draper and Riverton. Webb said

The club will visit 20 schools in the
Draper/Riverton area this year. Rotarian
SamuelC.Leaverhascoordinatedthedic-
tionary project for many years and is do-
ing so again this year. Webb said Leaver
has been instrumental in raising money
and making sure the children receive the
dictionaries. The money used to purchase
thebookscomesprimarilyfromtheannual
Classic Car Show, which was held Sept.
17.

On Dragon Training days, students
move to the specifed classroom where
they will meet with possibly a different

will be taught the same math skill at the
