CERT training
Stan and Dave completed CERT training in October so 5 members are now CERT volunteers. There were 22 graduates from the class held at The Church of Jeusus Christ of Latter-day Saints in York PA.
York County REACTer Dave Moss (right) and another CERT trainee prepare to crib a simulated wall off the back of an explosion victim (dumby). The mock drill was held in York on October 19, 2006
They needed victims as well so York County REACT team member Doug Walters (far right) took part by being the victim of a spider bite. Doug is seen here with one of the disaster referees and another CERT class member during the de-briefing. Doug earned a CERT T-shirt for his participation.

Halloween Foot Patrol
October 31, Halloween Night. York County is a big place and Team 6123 is not. So we chose a neighborhood close to home and set off with GMRS and FRS radios and traffic wand in hand. Slowed speeding traffic, talked to local teens on FRS 1 and even got rewarded with a little candy. Team 6123 unit 56, President Stan Walters did the leg work while unit 57, Brenda Walters manned HQ for the night.
