The Latest in Lifesaving Training for
Healthcare Providers; Lifeguards, Day
Care Providers and Emergency
Responders!
Healthcare providers, lifeguards, day
care providers and emergency
responders are often the first people to
respond to a life-threatening
emergency on the job, so it is critical
that you have the skills and confidence
necessary to save a life. American Red
Cross training is based on 90 years of
experience in emergency preparedness
and response. And, because the Red
Cross works side by side with nurses,
police, fire and other healthcare
professionals in all kinds of emergency
situations, we know what you need to
be the best you can be.
Learn the Skills You Need to Act
Quickly and Save a Life
Red Cross training combines
discussions and video with hands-on
skills training to promote effective
learning and keep students motivated.
The course is based on real-life rescue
scenarios and lessons that reinforce
decision-making skills so you’ll be
confident to respond when an
emergency occurs.
With CPR/AED for the Professional
Rescuer, you will learn to:
• Respond to breathing and cardiac
emergencies in adults, children and
infants
• Two-rescuer CPR skills
• Use an AED on an adult or child
victim of cardiac arrest
• Use personal protective equipment
to stop bloodborne pathogens and
other diseases from spreading.
While you can’t predict when an
emergency will occur, you can be
prepared. In less time than you
think, American Red Cross training
can give you the vital knowledge
and skills you’ll need to respond to
a life-threatening situation with
confidence.

The Platte River Fitness Series was developed to encourage continued and on-going active
living. Active living is an important key to a healthy community. Over 1200 athletes competed in
at least one event in 2009. The series includes 7 Lincoln County fitness events held in 2010.
These 7 events will provide consistent motivation, giving participants a goal to work toward
throughout the year. The 2010 series will include North Platte’s first Half-Marathon!
Individuals will receive points for their participation in each event. Additional points are
earned by placing in one’s age-group in a particular event. Point totals will be tabulated
throughout the year, and winners determined after the December, 2010 event. Special Platte River
Fitness vests will go to all participants who complete all 7 events. Cash prizes will be awarded to
the overall men’s and women’s winners, special awards to the top three point winners in each
gender and age category. Certificates will go to places 4-10, and an awards dinner will be held in
celebration of the top ten in each gender and age group.
Points awarded and accumulated for all 7 of our Series events are as follows: 12 points for
participating in the longest distance in multiple distance events; 10 points for participating in the
shortest distance in multiple distance events; and 4 points for each leg of a triathlon; 10 points for
winning one’s age group (in each division in events that have separate divisions), 8 points for
second, 6 for third, then 5-4-3-2-1 for 4th through 8th. In addition, bonus points of 3, 2, and 1 will
be added to the overall top three in each event by gender. If a participant is the overall winner in
the fitness division, he or she should enter the competitive division in the next event having
separate divisions.
Age groups will be 19 & under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 & 70 & over.
