ONE BIKE. TWO WHEELS.
A MILLION WAYS TO SHARE.
Entering its third year, the Million
Miles at Miller charity bike ride has a
lot to celebrate. Mountain America
Credit Union is joining the ride as the
presenting sponsor and has committed
its support of the event for the next
three years. “Having a sponsor like
Mountain America Credit Union allows
the event to reach even more people
and have a bigger impact on the
charities we support,” said Anne Marie
Gunther, director of special events for
the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies.
Riders can choose from a number of options which begin and
end on the race track at Miller Motorsports Park while touring
varied distances through Tooele County. Families and riders
can also choose to ride laps on the 4.2 mile track and enjoy
refreshments, food, and a fun zone for the kids.
This year’s event will take place Saturday, September 28, 2013.

SUMMER SAFETY
SURVIVAL GUIDE
As we begin to enjoy all the wonderful activities summer
affords, here are a few reminders that will help us have a
fun and safe summer:
1 If the activity involves a swimming pool and children,
remember to constantly supervise the pool itself every
20 seconds, and make sure you can reach the pool in
10 seconds. Adults should remain within an arm’s reach
of infants, toddlers and weaker swimmers.
T
2 Keep grills at least 10 feet from any structure. Grilling
mishaps cause more than 8,300 fires and send 3,000
people to the emergency room each year. Always have
a spray bottle of water or fire extinguisher handy, never
use gasoline or kerosene to light a charcoal fire, and
never leave the grill unattended.
3 Carefully inspect backyard playground equipment.
Make sure equipment is anchored safely in the ground,
and all equipment pieces are in good working order.
4 The sun is generally strongest between 10 AM-2 PM.
Apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15, and do so
30 minutes before going outside. Reapply sunscreen
every 2 hours and after swimming or sweating.
5 Recognize the signs of heatstroke or exhaustion—
fatigue, confusion, extreme thirst, cramping and
dizziness or nausea. Drink lots of water to stay
hydrated.
By taking a few extra moments of preparation and caution,
most dangers and mishaps can be avoided. On behalf of
the Larry H. Miller Companies, we wish you all a wonderful
and safe summer. WS
