is a perfect example of what happens when amateur radio emergency
volunteers take themselves way too seriously.
I for one am glad that SBARC turned off of that road a few years ago.

County Search & Rescue team not going anywhere
Jennifer Beyer, Bryon Bass, Nelson Trichler
April 25, 2010 10:44 AM
A recent letter to the editor suggested the county is discontinuing
the Santa Barbara County Search and Rescue Department. There are no
plans to discontinue the Search and Rescue Team or the service it offers.
Search and Rescue is an all-volunteer, public-service nonprofit
501(c)(3) corporation providing search and rescue services, through
the county Sheriff's Department, since the early 1960s. Each year,
team members contribute thousands of unpaid hours to train,
recertify, maintain and update equipment, address team administrative
matters, and, of course, respond to emergency calls.
Our ranks are filled with accountants, financial portfolio managers,
construction workers, business owners, physical rehabilitation
specialists, human resources managers, real estate agents,
information technology specialists, consultants, field scientists,
and even off-duty police, paramedics, firefighters and EMTs, each
donating their time and experience to the community.
The team has no paid staff members; members are required to provide
personal equipment, annually re-qualify in the team's technical
skills, maintain current medical certifications (most members are
EMTs), and pay annual membership dues.
As a member of the Mountain Rescue Association, the team annually
recertifies in advanced search-and-rescue techniques such as snow
rescue, high-angle rope rescue, lost subject search, tracking, and
wilderness first responder operations.
The team operates 15 rescue vehicles, including specialty vehicles
such as a dedicated command post and an ex-military Humvee, all
modified for search and rescue operations. The team has two
California Rescue Dog Association certified dogs that conduct
trailing and cadaver search operations.
Annual team trainings include helicopter search and rescue operations
with county and state agencies, a swift-water rescue technician
course, and an Emergency Vehicle Operations Course (EVOC). Team
members also have trained emergency response units outside the U.S.
in high-angle rope rescue operations.
In 2009, Santa Barbara County Search and Rescue ranked highest among
all California-based search and rescue teams, responding to 126 calls
for service. The team regularly responds with other Santa Barbara
County emergency service units including fire departments, AMR, and
the Sheriff's Department.
Search and Rescue annually saves Santa Barbara County hundreds of
thousands of dollars through unpaid professional efforts. While the
county Sheriff's Department provides a small annual budget, mostly
for gas and maintenance, private citizens and charitable
organizations contribute all other team funding.
Under our motto of "So others may live," we continue to proudly serve
our community by donating our time, skill and experience to the
residents and visitors of Santa Barbara County. Those interested in
being part of our dedicated team, please visit our website at www.sbcsar.org.

Rescue Department team.

Hi All,
Above is the link for this newsletter. I have found it one of the best. it is not only about CW; it has many articles about digital modes, and many other subjects close to the ham radio ops heart.
You can probably find a copy on the Internet at the K9YA website. Take a look at it and see if it appeals to you, as it does to me.
Have a wonderful weekend!

SBARC Members and Friends,
This Saturday, we have a great opportunity to reach out to the public to
generate interest and awareness of SBARC and Amateur Radio.
I've arranged for us to have a booth, but I need help. Do you have
something to demonstrate? How about something that attendees would enjoy
interacting with? Even if you don't bring something to demo, can you
represent SBARC by helping out?
Even an hour of your time would be very valuable. We need you!
The event is from 10am to 5pm this Saturday (4/24) at the Natural History
Museum in Santa Barbara. Refer to the attached flyer for more details.
Please email me or call me at 637-0985 if you are interested. The more, the
merrier.
Thank you,
Rod Fritz, WB9KMO
