  • Training Orientation Packet
    Basic Training Orientation Packet For additional information, please visit our website at http://www.kcesar.org or email ESAR training at [email protected] Version 06/29/21 Basic Training at a Glance Overview ESAR Basic Training is a comprehensive program designed to prepare new members for the challenges that they will face in the field. As a trainee, you will receive instruction and demonstrate proficiency in Wilderness Navigation & Survival skills, Search Method Theory, and First Aid & CPR. You will also receive instruction on Helicopter Safety, Legal Issues, and Crime Scene Awareness. After basic training, many of these certifications must be maintained through ongoing training. Some can be renewed by going on missions, whereas others will need to be maintained through continuing education every two to five years. Advanced Courses Basic Training prepares you to serve on missions that do not require technical skills or snow/avalanche hazards. Advanced training is available for selected individuals who wish to gain skills for missions involving technical rescue and snow. Courses such as Basic Snow, AIARE 1, Emergency Medical Technician, and Rope Rescue are offered periodically following Basic Training. Schedule Basic Training begins in September and runs through April; it is purposefully scheduled during the winter months to give trainees experience working in the worst conditions they could encounter on a mission. Training may involve snow, ice, wind, rain and other unpleasant situations. Trainees are expected to understand how to prevent hypothermia, to be aware of the conditions around them, and to take care of themselves and their team. Inclement Weather Training is rarely cancelled due to weather.

  • Glasnost & Goodwill Highlights Washington's Grassroots Cold War
    News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 28, 2017 MEDIA CONTACT: Julianna Verboort, Marketing and Communications Director, Washington State Historical Society, 253-798-5902, [email protected] Visionaries and risk takers: Glasnost & Goodwill highlights Washington’s grassroots Cold War activists Tacoma, WA - By the 1980s, there were thousands of nuclear weapons aimed at the United States, and an equal number targeted at the Soviet Union. The arms race was running out of control and only a vague notion of “mutually assured destruction” stood between war and peace for the world’s superpowers. And yet, citizens did not sit idly by. Quietly a movement formed, built by citizen diplomats who reached across the Pacific to engage their neighbors, one conversation at a time. Washingtonians, in particular, saw an opportunity to bring peace with their neighbors through business partnerships, sister-city relationships, and cultural exchanges. Presented by the Washington State Historical Society, Glasnost and Goodwill: Citizen Diplomacy in the Northwest is an invigorating plunge into how citizen diplomacy in Washington and the greater Northwest contributed to the thawing of the Cold War. Glasnost & Goodwill is brought to life through compelling photographs, rare videos, fascinating oral histories, and authentic artifacts that trace the rise of grassroots diplomacy in Northwest from the late 1930s through the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and beyond. Many of the citizen activists contributed to and were involved in creating the exhibition. Their stories reveal the levels of fear and hope that drove their unprecedented actions. In 1987, Lynne Cox became the first person to swim the Bering Strait between the United States and the Soviet Union.

  • Seaworld San Antonio Joins Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network in the Successful Rescue of a Young Dolphin
    Video Assets: https://www.webcargo.net/d/11784203/1qUCzcBIdj/ Photo Assets: https://www.webcargo.net/d/11784256/pIzPpyr2O2/ SeaWorld San Antonio Joins Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network in the Successful Rescue of a Young Dolphin PORT ARANSAS/SAN ANTONIO (May 12, 2017) – The Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network (TMMSN), assisted by SeaWorld San Antonio’s Rescue Team, successfully rescued and released a young dolphin found stranded in shallow water in Lighthouse Lakes near Port Aransas, TX. TMMSN Executive Director Heidi Whitehead said, “With the help of SeaWorld’s rescue team we were successfully able to reach the dolphin and bring it onboard the rescue boat for a medical assessment. Working with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) it was determined the dolphin was in good body condition to be released. We then tagged the animal so we can continue to track its well-being. The dolphin was then relocated to deeper water near the Aransas Channel.” It is believed the dolphin became stranded during a recent extreme high tide. After being spotted by a local fisherman in the same place for several days TMMSN was called in to help the animal. “This is a true success story,” added Whitehead. “Thanks to the combined efforts of our alert citizenry coupled with the expertise of SeaWorld’s Rescue Team and our tireless TMMSN Critical Care Team, we were able to help this dolphin. The green tag we placed on the dolphin’s dorsal fin will enable the public to report sightings of the marine mammal so we can track its progress and ensure its wellbeing.” Each year up to 150 marine mammals can be found stranded or injured along the Texas coast.

  • Sean Lowry, Cold War Memorial (2013) Thought Projection Over
    Sean Lowry, Cold War Memorial (2013) Thought projection over Bering Strait (168°58'37’W) with visual schema During the Cold War, the Bering Strait marked the physical border between the United States and the Soviet Union. Although it is not possible to physically see the 55 miles across the Bering Strait, as Sarah Palin reminded us in her now infamous September 11 2008 ABC interview ‘…you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.’ Beyond the banality of Palin’s command of international relations, it is nonetheless true that there are two islands in the middle of the Bering Strait: Big Diomede (the easternmost point of Russia), and Little Diomede (part of the United States). At their closest point, the two islands are approximately 2.4 miles apart. Given that the horizon is approximately 2.9 miles away at sea level, on a clear day it is indeed possible to see Russia from U.S. territory. The Diomede Islands are however typically blanketed by dense fog. Although geographically remote to key Cold War boundaries such as Berlin, the Korean Demilitarized Zone and the Florida Straits, Little Diomede Island was once the only place from which one could literally see the Soviet Union from U.S. territory. Together with an international border, the International Date Line also separates the islands (at 168°58'37’W). During winter, an ice bridge spans the distance between the two islands, making it possible to walk between the islands. During the Cold War, this space was referred to as the ‘Ice Curtain’.

Swimming to Antarctica by Lynne Cox 11 March 2009, 12:00 am Swimming to Antarctica Lynne Cox ISBN:9780156031301 About the book: Now in paperback, with photos and maps added especially for this new edition, here is the acclaimed life story of a woman whose drive and determination inspire everyone she touches. Lynne Cox started swimming almost as soon as she could walk. By age sixteen, she had broken all records for swimming the English Channel. Her daring eventually led her to the Bering Strait, where she swam five miles in thirty- eight-degree water in just a swimsuit, cap, and goggles. In between those accomplishments, she became the first to swim the Strait of Magellan, narrowly escaped a shark attack of the Cape of Good Hope, and was cheered across the twenty-mile Cook Strait of New Zealand by dolphins. She even swam a mile in the Antarctic. Lynne writes the same way she swims, with indefatigable spirit and joy, and shares the beauty of her time in the water with a poet’s eye for detail. She has accomplished yet another feat–writing a new classic of sports memoir. About the author: LYNNE COX has set records all over the world for open-water swimming. She was named Los Angeles Times Woman of the Year, inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 2000, honored with a lifetime achievement award from the University of California–Santa Barbara, and worked for six years as a research 1 of 5 5/24/13 10:58 AM Swimming to Antarctica by Lynne Cox « « HMH Book Clubs..

  • Winter Survival
    Winter Survival If your survival preparations don’t cover subfreezing conditions you are only 50% ready. The great majority of survival skills and survival equipment work well in dry and temperate weather. In the dry summer conditions you can survive for a while by simply not doing anything stupid. Moderate clothing and basic shelter items will get you through the chilly damp conditions of late Spring and early Fall. At home, mild weather survival focuses on having safe water and enough food. But winter conditions make survival anywhere an immediate and constant challenge. In winter, Mother Nature tries to kill you. Cold takes no prisoners. Whole armies have been wiped out by General Winter. The survival battle comes down to maintaining the body’s temperature. This is accomplished in four actions: 1. Generating heat internally through the consumption and metabolization of high calorie food and the necessary water to process it. Consider this fueling your furnace. Food requirements are much higher in cold weather. 2. Keeping cold out of the body. Eating cold food, drinking cold liquids and breathing in cold air quickly lower the body’s temperature. 3. Preserving body heat. Breathing out warmed air, standing in cold winds, contact with the cold ground, getting wet, not wearing adequate clothing and failure to cover the head will burn away calories (heat) and lead to hypothermia. 4. Gathering heat from external sources. Getting into a warm place, standing in the sun, drinking warm liquids, eating hot food, standing by a fire and breathing warmed air reduces heat loss. Civilization has focused on providing a warm environment.
