WING ROUNDUP

CIVIL AIR PATROL, The Official Auxiliary of the US Air Force

South Dakota brings home the hardware

By: 2d Lt Michael Odle, Contributions: Lt Col B.T. Marking

CUSTER, SD One weekend each year, the North Dakota and South Dakota Wings of the Civil Air Patrol, suspend their usual cooperation and square off in a traditional Search and Rescue Competition. The event has been known as the Dakota Duel. South Dakota hosts the event every other year and on June 1 and 2, Custer County Airport was the site of this years competition. On June 1 and 2, air crews from the two states battled to be the most efficient at tracking electronic distress beacons and at spotting visual targets from the air. At the same time, ground teams exercised their skills in land navigation, distress beacon location, crashscene security, and victim rescue. The Ground Team from Lookout Mountain Squadron in Spearfish, headquartered at the Black Hills Clyde Ice Field, placed first for all squadrons in South Dakota and close second out of both states, 61 points behind North Dakotas Bismarck Composite Squadron, which placed first.

(See Squadron page 2) The trophy is back to its rightful home, said Col Mary Donley, South Dakota Wing Commander as she accepted the award. I couldnt have asked for anymore from the teams. They gave it their all. Ground teams and air teams had to pass a written practical on Incident Command, General Emergency Services and weight and balance sheets, as well as inspections of personal, team and van and aircraft equipment. Finally, the teams had to complete two scenarios; one dealing with locating a distress beacon and the other scenario included a distress beacon and an injured missing person. (pictures on

North Dakota took the top ground team and air team award, however, both sides held their breath for the overall Dakota Duel Champion to be announced as scores for both teams were competitively close.

North Dakota won the battle but it looks as though South Dakota won the war.
- Col Walt Volmers, North Dakota Wing Commander

Greg Maier as the Liaison Officer for both North Dakota and South Dakota made the announcement. North Dakota 8,608 points; South Dakota 10,022 points, making the ground teams and air teams of South Dakota this years Dakota Duel Champions. Col Walt Volmers North Dakota Wing Commander admitted that North Dakota won the battle, but it looks as though South Dakota has won the war.

Approximately 100 of the Wing's more than 350 members attended. Several dozen Wing members gathered on Friday, April 26 for a class on the new National Civil Air Patrol Train-the-trainer course. This course is to acquaint Civil Air Patrol members that will be future facilitators with recent trends, issues, materials, and procedures considered essential for training members in search and rescue. Lt Col Michael Beason facilitated the class. On Saturday morning, the Wing followed Civil Air Patrol tradition by holding the Conference General Session at 8:00 AM. Master of Ceremonies, Captain Gary King, called 100 Wing members and guests to order. Col Mary Donley, South Dakota Wing Commander, was the first speaker. She thanked the members for its spirit of cooperation and hard work over the past year. From 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., conference attendees chose between more than a dozen breakout sessions to attend. Many Wing Directorates held seminars or meetings. At 6:00 p.m., attendees and their guests gathered for a reception before the evening's banquet. The Director of Cadet Programs, Lt Col Linda Purkapile, spoke about where the Wing has been and where it was going and reported on the cadets' accomplishments over the past year.

South Dakota Colonel gets 38th ribbon

On April 15, 2002, Senator Tim Johnson, D-S.D., presented the Korean War Service Medal to Col Lester W. Snyder, CAP, for service when he was a member of the US Air Force. The medal, which recently released, is the 16th ribbon that Col Snyder has earned in the military, having served in both WW II and Korea. He has also earned another 22 ribbons in over thirty years of dedicated service to the Civil Air Patrol. Obviously it has been a long time since he has been able to wear all of his ribbons at one time, especially since he may wear both US Air Force and Civil Air Patrol ribbons. Col Snyder admits that when he first joined CAP, he was primarily interested in earning a Find ribbon, however, he had to wait twenty years before he earned one. Meanwhile, he become interested in aerospace education and management, and preceded to earn every CAP ribbon in aerospace. Eventually he earned all the CAP ribbons for which he was eligible, except the Extraordinary Service Medal. With authorization to wear 38 ribbons on his CAP uniform he may be the most decorated of Civil Air Patrol. Actually, the earning of ribbons has been almost coincidental for Col Snyder as he has been very active in all three

missions of CAP (see Ribbon page 8).

South Dakota holds search and rescue exercise in Mobridge By: Staff
MOBRIDGE, SOUTH DAKOTA Members of the South Dakota Wing Civil Air Patrol will take part in a search and rescue exercise on Saturday, May 18, 2002. The exercise will begin at 8 a.m. with the mission base located at Mobridge Airport and is expected to last until 4 p.m. Five aircraft and over 80 members are expected to participate in Saturdays exercise. According to Lt Col Mike Beason, Wing Operations Director, Mobridge was selected for as a site for the teams to practice in another area of the state [that CAP is not familiar with] to conduct a search for a missing aircraft and missing persons. In addition, the Civil Air Patrol wanted to inform the area and the county emergency management department in regards to CAPs search with aircraft and ground team capabilities. The exercise, planned by Maj Daryl Hayes, Wing Director of Emergency Services is designed to evaluate the South Dakota Wings skills in search and rescue techniques. The Incident Commander exercise is Leo Becht. for this

Pilots and observers will test flying skills required for aerial searches while ground teams will practice land navigation skills and refine their first-aid knowledge. The teams will use tracking devices that pick-up locations of distress beacons as relayed by global positioning satellites. The South Dakota Wing will coordinate the exercise with the help of the Civil Air Patrols radio communications network.

Joint exercise leads to better understanding

By C/CMSgt Brittany Ray

STURGIS, SD The day was gorgeous and the breeze just right on April 20 as emergency management personnel from Pennington and Meade Counties joined forces with members of the South Dakota Wing Civil Air Patrol at Sturgis Airport. The joint exercise began with a briefing by Incident Commander Lt Col Michael Beason. The situation was one that is all too familiar with the Civil Air Patrol, that of a downed aircraft in the Black Hills. After a few questions the ground team members, emergency management personnel and aircrews were deployed.

There were three ground units equipped with Global Positioning Satellite Technology (GPS) and aircraft Direction Fining equipment (DF) for locating the position and then relaying the coordinates to mission base. While the ground teams were engrossed in their task, one aircraft, piloted by Maj Jerry Densmore from Rushmore Composite Squadron based at Ellsworth, flew overhead for signs of wreckage. Within a few hours the containment field was narrowed to the Black Hawk Area near exit 51. By 3:15 P.M. the aircrew spotted wreckage

about 2 miles south of Interstate 90. Ground teams were deverted from their present location and guided in by the aircrew. Twenty-minutes later the ELT had been located by the Lookout Mountain Ground Team, lead by 2d Lt Michael Odle of Spearfish. Within minutes a security perimeter was established, emergency medical treatment was administered and the site was secured. Teams returned to Sturgis Airport for an After Action Review (AAR) and all the teams left with a little more skill and a better understanding of the abilities of the Civil Air Patrol.

By: 2d Lt Michael Odle

PHILIP, SD A blustery day in Philip didnt stop spectators and parade participants from as far as Wyoming and Minnesota boarders in celebrating the 10th anniversary of the 53rd Mounted Patrol on Saturday, June 8. Thirty-one parade entrants, cruised, marched, walked and galloped down Pine Street and across to Center Ave. Today is a celebration of public service, dedication and leadership declared Mayor John Hart of Philip who proclaimed June 8, 2002 Civil Air Patrol Day. He called upon all citizens of Philip to celebrate with appropriate ceremonies honoring the men, women, and cadet members of the Civil Air Patrol.

The Mounted Patrol is the only squadron of its type in the Civil Air Patrol system, the official auxiliary of the US Air Force. Todays Mounted Patrol consists of 10 horses and 21 patrol members that are invaluable aids in search and rescue. The Mounted Patrol has logged approximately 580 hours of practice and mission assignments. The team has participated in searches throughout the Black Hills, Onida, Pierre, Aberdeen and surrounding areas; Custer, Mitchell and Philip.

101 Critical Days of Summer

By Chief of Safety, Gary K. Woodsmall

"101 Critical Days" is the historically accident-filled period of time between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day. Summer time, unfortunately, is a time we place ourselves at greatest risk. With long-awaited vacations and weekends filled with warm-weather CAP activities, we tend to be overanxious and a little less attentive in our eagerness to enjoy all our carefully planned events. Eagerness and inattention can be a tragic combination. We want the summer of 2001 to be an enjoyable and mishap-free summer, but it requires extra effort from everyone to be especially careful, diligent and safety conscious. So please take the time to examine each situation of each activity and consider the consequences of not making safety a part of the decision. The chances of becoming involved in a motor vehicle accident also increase during the summer months. To decrease the chance of becoming involved in a crash, remember the following: Dont drink and drive or ride with anyone who has been drinking. Speeding nationwide is a factor in 30 percent of all fatal crashes resulting in more than 13,000 lost lives. Fatigue and driving are a lethal combination. Do not work an entire shift and then drive a long distance. Plan your trip to incorporate a stop every few hours and stay overnight if required. Safety belts and motorcycle personal protective equipment are also proven lifesavers; use them. When working around the house this summer, keep safety in mind. Use hearing protection, eye protection and wear sturdy footwear while operating lawn mowers and weed eaters. Use hand tools properly and remember not to overdo it while out in the garden.

A ride like no other

EAA Young Eagle Rides

By: Maj Lee Vaughan

The celebration included a parade with a marching band, color guards, local businesses and community organizations, followed by keynote speaker Lt Col Terry Kono, Deputy Operations Group Commander from Ellsworth AFB. Mayor John Hart delivered his mayoral proclamation and the 7th Calvary Drum and Bugle Corp along with The Carstisens duo preformed. After the presentation, a picnic lunch was served in the park. The

Fresh back from National Congress on Aviation and Space Education, Major Lee Vaughan continues to try and do his part in flying a million young people before the 100th anniversary of flight next year. During April Major Vaughan was able to take Kayla OConnell, one of his fifth grade students on her first airplane ride. One of the highlights of this years Congress for Major Vaughan, was meeting and talking with Jeanne MacPhereson, a Montana EAA pilot who has flown almost 3000 young Eagles. Major Vaughn maintains, There is no greater joy than sharing something you love as much as flying with tomorrows pilots.

The South Dakota Wing goal this summer is to prevent needless injuries and fatalities. Safety is everyones responsibility. Everyone

must continue to focus on safety and take the required measures to protect our loved ones and us.

Have a summer.

Lightning starts 11 fires in Black Hills: CAP called for assistance

Deb Davis and Observer Maj Nancy McKenney. Seven fires were spotted by CAP air teams which directed more than 65 firefighters from the U.S. Forest Service, state Department of Corrections, South Dakota National Guard and the National Park Service into battled the blaze in steep, rugged terrain along the parks eastern boundary about 12 miles northeast of Hot Springs, park spokesman Tom Farrell said. He said a state Black Hawk helicopter dumped buckets of water to help ground crews contain the fire, burning in prairie grasses and ponderosa pine. The helicopter dipped water from a landowners nearby stock pond. Fire danger in the Black Hills was in the low category, but Berger said wind and low humidity could cause problems for firefighters. The forecast calls for cooler weather the next few days. However, the South Dakota Wing has been assigned to perform fire flights for the next few days at the request of the South Dakota State Fire Marshall. Aircrews from Custer, Rushmore (Rapid City), Lookout Mountain (Spearfish), Onida, and Philip Composite Squadrons have been assigned. As a precaution, federal forest officials requested an air tanker be positioned at Rapid City Regional Airport in case other fires start or the Wind Cave fire grows significantly. None of the Southern Hills fires threatened structures, and no injuries were reported. Im not anticipating any problems with these fires overnight, unless we get high winds and lightning, Berger said at 5 p.m. Saturday. Quite a few of them have been contained, controlled and mopped up, he said. Seven of the 11 are declared contained, if not controlled. We will look at them again (today) and make that call.

BLACK HILLS, SD - Firefighters Saturday evening contained the largest of at least 11 small fires touched off in the Southern Hills by a fast-moving lightning storm Friday night with the assistance of the South Dakota Wing Civil Air Patrol. They got additional help from another thunderstorm accompanied by heavy rain Saturday night. The 30-acre fire in the Boland Ridge area of Wind Cave National Park was reported about 8:45 a.m. according to a fire service spokesman. Both South Dakota and North Dakota Civil Air Patrol Wings were in the area competing in a Search and Rescue competition when the state contacted the South Dakota Wing Emergency Service Director, Major Daryl Hayes. South Dakota assigned Col Alden House as Incident Commander and dispatched an aircrew immediately consisting of Pilot-in-command Lt Col Michael Beason, Co-pilot Lt

Ground Teams activated

By: Maj Nancy McKenney

WALL, SD The Air Force Rescue Coordination Center at Langley Air Force Base Virginia, alerted the Emergency Service Director for the South Dakota Wing Civil Air Patrol, Major Daryl Hayes, of an emergency signal transmitting in central South Dakota. Major Hayes assigned Colonel Alden House, based in Rapid City, as the Incident Commander for the search. Civil Air Patrol Ground Teams from Custer, Philip and Onida were immediately dispatched. Major Lee Vaugan, Philip Ground Team Leader and Major Nancy McKenney, Onida Ground Team Leader located the emergency beacon around 8:45 PM MDT at a heli-port in U.S. Forest Service land near Cactus Flats, 20 miles southeast of Wall. Ground Team crews contacted the pilot of the helicopter and the emergency transmitter was deactivated. The cause of the false alarm of the emergency signal was not determined, but was thought to be attributed to a hard landing. Ground Teams returned to their squadrons around 10:00 PM MDT.

The windy and cold weather did not dampen spirits or enthusiasm as cadets hiked to the summit. Once to the top cadets learned how to build a fire, stay warm in cold weather and good eating and hygiene habits while on a search. The rain began to fall, and a shelter was a necessity. Cadets quickly used all available resources from ponchos to tree branches. Shelters were evaluated and scored by 2d Lt Michael Odle, Ground Team Leader and senior facilitator of the exercise. Cadets were then instructed to return the area back to its natural state and to begin the hike to the base of the mountain. Cadets returned to Squadron Headquarters and conducted a 24 and 72 hour refit in preparation for the ELT search at Sturgis Airport (see Better Understand page 2) with Rushmore Composite Squadron and various local county emergency response teams. Participating in the exercise were Senior Memebr Damien Summers, 2d Lt Michael Odle, C/CMSgt Brittany Ray, C/A1c Loren Schaub, C/A1c Brian Taylor, C/Amn Lee Schuab, C/Amn Karli Ray, and C/Basic Garrett Manley.

The Governor of SD gave a Thank You dinner on Tuesday evening, May 21, to the many volunteers that assisted with the WWII dedication. The Governors office sent Invitations to the dinner as well as a Thank You certificate to the volunteers that participated. It has been brought to my attention that some of the CAP volunteers that helped, did not receive invitations (see Governor, next page).

Governor:
The Governors office does apologize foe anyone that they may have missed in the large number of names that were passed on to them. CAP volunteers assisted in manning several of the Water Tents and distributing water throughout the crowd during the ceremony. The WWII Dedication was held on Sept. 15, 2001, with 15,000 - 20,000 people attending. Squadrons that had members attending the dinner ceremony included: Aberdeen,Crazy Horse, Lookout Mountain, Onida, Philip, Pierre, and Rapid City. The Sioux Falls Squadron also assisted but was unable to attend the dinner.

Chase Cowan August 11, 1989 June 15, 2002

Chase Cowan was a sixth grader in Custer Elementary and had recently become a proud and enthusiastic ember of the Crazy Horse Composite Squadron. He especially loved the flying aspects and had dreams of a future Air Force flying career. His dream of flying did not begin just recently, but existed even at kindergarten. The Civil Air Patrol was his first step to launching his dream. On Saturday evening, June 15, 2002, Chase died when the pickup truck in which he was riding missed a curve near Blue Bell Lodge in Custer State Park, rolled and impacted a large tree. Chase was thrown from the bed of the truck and died at the scene. He was 12 years old. One thing that Crazy Horse Composite Squadron members remember well was his great knowledge of aerospace. Although young, he came into the squadron knowing more than most of the cadet sergeants. Another thing that Cadet Cowan was known for was his amazing super star smile. He led such a short, sad life and was so close to starting a new one. It is a precious certainty that Cadet Chase Cowan now has his very own wings and can fly with no one to hold him back. May Angels Lead You Now.
