‘Mock
emergency’
Search
and Rescue training teams were in the county
last week to conduct certification exercises. Marshall Academy was a
site for the practice of a “mock emergency” for
Perry Nelson’s team.
Headmaster Jane Hubbard (above, right) served as the “missing
person” for the
exercise. Team members choose which articles of Hubbard’s
apparel they
will use and which out of five search dogs they will use for practice.
