SAR AT FUNERALS FOR RCMP OFFICERS

Red Deer Search and Rescue had the honor of being asked to assist with the funerals for two of the recently slain Mounties. We were tasked with parking for both events.

The funeral for Const. Gordon was held at a Catholic Church in Red Deer. Approx 600 people attended the closed funeral along with a small contingent of media. It was a very quiet affair without much publicity.

The funeral for Const. Myrol was held the following day just outside of Red Deer. This funeral was open to the general public as well as family, friends and dignitaries. A large number of national media attended. We heard estimates of attendance being anywhere from 1600 to 3,000 people. It was originally intended to have officers parade from the edge of town to the church. Unfortunately the very high wind changed the plans at the last minute and a much shorter route was chosen.

At this time, Red Deer Search and Rescue, on behalf of all those teams in SAR Alberta would like to pass on our deepest sympathy to the families, RCMP and friends of all those lost. Our hearts go out to you all. God Bless.

SEARCH AND RESCUE ASSOCIATION OF ALBERTA – AGM

Vice President - Reese Wolsey    westpem@telusplanet.net
Interim Secretary - Ian Bullock    ibullock@yahoo.com
Treasurer - Rodney Dietrich        accountinggod@shaw.ca

Congratulations to Reese Wolsey voted in by acclimation to the Vice President position as well to Ian Bullock who was appointed by the Board as Interim Secretary.

Many thanks to Chris Perrier who had given her time to SAR Alberta as President of the association. Chris resigned her duties and will not stand as Past President.

A special thanks to Brad Marshall and Mary-Ann Warren who stood in as interim Past President and Secretary to fill the necessary void of these positions.

The AGM luncheon keynote speaker, the Honourable Luke Ouellette MLA of Restructuring and Government Efficiency spoke of his association with volunteers. Residing in Pine Lake, he received a first hand look at the efficiency of volunteer SAR workers after the tornado hit Pine Lake. Being a volunteer himself, the Minister understands the difficulties and frustrations of organizations such as SAR Alberta. The Minister is open to communication from SAR Alberta and its member organizations.

The 2005 Annual General meeting minutes will be posted on the SAR Alberta web site soon.

DRAFT LETTER REGARDING TAX DEDUCTION FOR VOLUNTEER TIME

While space is limited in this newsletter the following edited item is included from Mike Zandvliet, Training 2IC, Calgary Search and Rescue. http://www.calsara.com For the full details please contact Mike directly at trg-2ic@calsara.com

Fellow CALSARA Members...

I received this notice last month and after some diligent research by our VP, Marc Pauze, it is apparent that this in fact does apply to search and rescue operations. There is a Bill in front of parliament right now requesting a tax deduction for those involved in volunteer emergency service efforts. It is something that was raised last year and rejected by a narrow margin. It has come up again. Originally this was presented with a request of a tax deduction of $3000 for 200 logged hrs per year. The current bill (C-273) has been amended to $500 for 50 logged hrs or $1000 for 100 logged hrs. Please review this link for further details:
http://www.parl.gc.ca/38/1/parlbus/chambus/house/bills/private/C-273/C-273_1/C-273_cover-E.html

The following is the draft letter that was sent out by Mike Walsh - President, Canadian Volunteer Fire Service Association; Volunteer Fire Fighters Association of British Columbia Ph: (604) 886-7319 Email: mikewalsh@uniserve.com

DRAFT

The Right Hon. Paul Martin,
Prime Minister of Canada
Rm 313 S Centre Block
House of Commons
Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6

Mr. Prime Minister

This letter is requesting your support for Private Members Bill C-273 introduced on December 14, 2004 by MP Roger Cuzner of Cape Breton - Canso.

Volunteer emergency responders help protect many communities across Canada and their worth is immeasurable. They tirelessly give their time and efforts to ensure their friends and neighbours are not alone when emergencies arise. Often these volunteers receive little or no remuneration for their unselfish commitment. It is time that these courageous individuals are recognized and rewarded for their efforts. By supporting PMB C-273 you will be letting these men and women know their services are appreciated and respected.

Sincerely

Your name and organization

NEW TRAINING COORDINATORS' EMAIL DISTRIBUTION LIST

A significant portion of the time of any emergency response group is spent developing, delivering and participating in training. Different groups have different available resources, so why not share your ideas, tools, courses, etc. with each other? In order to facilitate this, an email distribution list has been set up for all of the training coordinators in SAR Alberta.

Thanks to Brett Wuth for providing his computer expertise - now it's up to the rest of us to use it!

The list should be used to convey information about upcoming training events, course or training standards development, training resources or other training related issues. An updated list will also be distributed to the members on a regular basis that will provide details on the training contacts for each organization.
You can get on the list in one of two ways:

1. By being listed as your team's training contact.
Check out your team's membership record at http://www.saralberta.org/groupmap/groups.html If you aren't already listed as the "Training E-Mail" contact, send an update to wuth@acm.org

2. By adding yourself to the list manually.
Visit http://castrov.dyndns.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sara-traincoords and follow the instructions under "subscribing".

Once you're a member of the list, you can join or start the discussion by e-mailing sara-traincoords@castrov.cuug.ab.ca

SAR DAY - SATURDAY, MAY 7, 2005

We thank the Regional Directors and the SAR Groups which made a special effort to plan events and get the information back to us. Unfortunately, there were not enough events to warrant the Alberta Minister of Municipal Affairs issuing a press release to reaffirm SAR Day. The Municipal Affairs Communications Branch said the number of events represented only about 12% of our regular membership. Next year we hope groups will plan early and send details to the Communications Committee at least a month ahead. You can have any type of event, such as: displays, demonstrations, exercises or fund raisers, in malls, recreational areas or any other place frequented by the public. Remember this is a chance to get free province-wide publicity for your group, or region if you choose to do it that way.

SAR ALBERTA AUDIT BY THE CRA (CUSTOMS AND REVENUE AGENCY)

CALSARA BIKE TEAM AT WASHINGTON SAR CONFERENCE

On May 18th, the CALSARA Bike Team left for the 2005 Washington State Search and Rescue Conference in Leavenworth, Washington hosted by the Chelan County Sheriff's Office Special Operations Search and Rescue. Attendees included Mark Demong, Trevor Finlayson, Norm Keeler, Grant Mac Donnell, and Melinda Mac Neil.

CALSARA hosted three sessions on their Mountain Bike Team, one of the few mountain bike SAR teams in existence. Included were a brief history of the CALSARA bike team, basic nutrition and fitness information, equipment used, CALSARA bike training, mechanical skills, riding skills, and mountain bike search techniques. Each session consisted of a half hour power point presentation followed by a practicum, including safety checks of equipment (demo/return demo), slow riding skills (demo/return demo), and a mock search on trails to apply bike search theory.

The classes were well attended and there was much interest in the team. Team members demonstrated their riding skills on a marked course and then invited class members to partake in the skill, offering tips and suggestions for improvement. SAR groups were impressed by the professionalism of the CALSARA Bike Team, the uniforms, equipment, and training provided. We feel this conference to have been a great success for CALSARA, Alberta, and Canada SAR. Felling privileged to have been part of such a conference, the team returned to Calgary, AB on May 22, pleased with their impact on other SAR organizations.

For more information about the 2005 Washington State Search and Rescue Conference, please visit www.chelansar.org. To view the Power Point presentation of the CALSARA Bike Team, visit www.calsara.com. Feel free to leave any comments or suggestions. We are very excited about the interest generated in the CALSARA Bike Team and have plans to expand the presentation, so keep checking for updates!!!

Pincher Creek SAR is reexamining its policy on when or whether it will perform a search on the family's behalf when the tasking agency has declined to continue or to start a search for various reasons.

If under some circumstance you would respond, do you somehow arrange WCB coverage for an injury? Please respond to Brett Wuth, wuth@acm.org . I'll keep your response anonymous if your group isn't ready to publish its policy, but I'll provide a summary of the responses I get to anyone else that requests it.
