notes.

The candidates get a chance to do
some "hands on" training using cribbing
materials and a lever to lift heavy objects.
 

Team members Sherry and Skip Landt,
Doc Lane, and Lowell Aube supervise the
candidates as they lift a heavy object off
of a "trapped victim".

Team members Debbie Hutt (seated)
and Lowell Aube (holding search &
rescue pole) closely watch the candidates
as they "get their act together".

Doc Lane advises and encourages
the candidates as they build the
fulcrum to be used for lifting.
