    logo_ycsoVerde Valley AZ (April 23, 2015) – The wonderful volunteers from the Yavapai County Search and Rescue Team, whose membership has been instrumental in the success of so many rescue operations, have embarked on a community outreach campaign. The focus of this educational program involves wilderness safety and the critical components necessary to survive if lost or stranded. Much of the target audience will be our youth throughout Yavapai County as part of the “Hug a tree… and Survive” program which is a nationally recognized wilderness safety course.

    20150423_ycsoYCSRT members recently received a ‘train the trainer’ course at Yavapai College which involved 20 volunteers from YCSRT’s Search Dog, Quad, and Back Country Units. These volunteers have generously offered their time to present this program at various venues throughout Yavapai County. The first classroom event will be at the Chino Valley Library on April 23, 2015, for 3rd and 4th grade students from a local charter school. In early May, the trainers will teach 50 special education students in the Humboldt Unified School District. The team will also host the course in several libraries throughout Yavapai County, including Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, Prescott, and Cottonwood. The program will also be taught at the Heritage Zoo Sanctuary in Prescott as part of its upcoming “Zoo Camp” this summer.

    YCSRT has also created a pamphlet entitled “Wilderness Safety and Life Saving Tips.” This important information should be shared with everyone who plans on an outdoor excursion. The contents serve as a reminder of how to stay safe and also provide tips on what to do if lost, injured, or stranded. 

    If anyone as a question regarding these programs or would like to find out about YCSRT and its volunteer opportunities, please call 928-554-6264 (leave a message) or email contactus@ycsrt.org. The team’s website is www.ycsrt.org.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
