INSIGHTS THROUGH TRAGEDY:
Lessons Learned from Others’ Mistakes

Name: 10 Barrel Brewing SAR Fundraiser
Rating: 5

You are invited to attend a dynamic 30-minute Water Safety Program presented by uniformed veteran Deschutes County Marine Deputy Tom Teaford. The presentation will take place during the 2016 Central Oregon Sportsmens Show in the “Red Theater” at the Deschutes County Fair and Expo Center.

Dates and Times

Friday, March 4th, at 4pm
Saturday, March 5th, at 11am
Sunday, March 6th, at 11am

Deputy Teaford will cover several drownings that have occurred in Deschutes County. All incidents involved popular local on-the-water activities, including swimming and boating.

Through photos and information gleaned from investigative reports, the deputy will lead the audience through the events leading to each drowning and learn how a series of small, seemingly innocent mistakes can lead to tragedy. General topics include the effects of cold water immersion, peer pressure, and risk evaluation.

After each incident, there will be discussion about how such mistakes could have been prevented. The deputy will also reveal some fresh and largely unknown information about life jackets which everyone will find intriguing.

About Deputy Teaford

Tom Teaford, age 63, retired federal law enforcement ranger, with extensive waterway patrol experience:

12 years with the National Park Service at Whiskeytown Lake (California) and Lake Roosevelt (Washington),
12 years with the Bureau of Land Management on the Lower Deschutes River in central Oregon.
Deschutes County Marine Deputy since June 2008. Two lifesaving awards from the Oregon State Marine Board.

Thank you for providing such honorable services to the Deschutes County community.

This note is to thank the Deschutes County Search and Rescue volunteers, three deputies and the USFS for their help in extracting my two horses from deep mud while on a ride on April 19, 2014 along the Windigo Trail, north of USFS Road 1514. My horses were stuck in mud over three feet deep – it took over 5-1/2 hours working in cold water and mud to extract them safely. The Deschutes County Search and Rescue is noted for their life-saving efforts, but they do not get nearly the credit they deserve from the public. They don’t think as individuals. They think as a team.

Their funding is limited, but their passion for rescuing people and animals from hazardous situations is tremendously rich. They don’t ask for praise, but instead, the 125 volunteers and a Sheriff’s Office coordinator attempt positive results in an average of 100 missions a year. The day after saving my horses, the Mountain Rescue unit and Horse Team of Search and Rescue were back in a training seminar. That was their weekend.

Thank you so much for all of your help with the Deschutes River Clean-up Day. It was wonderful to work with all of you! We really appreciate all of the time and energy you put in to help make the event a success. Thank you for all that you do to make our community better.

Thank you for all your efforts and all the help that you provide – our entire community appreciates it. Your organization means a lot to us.

Many, grateful thanks to all of those who helped us last night when we were lost in the Badlands near Highway 20. We are moved by your wonderful dedication.

To everyone who helped with our rescue at Swampy Lakes, we really appreciate the work you do and what you did for us.

This note is to thank everyone for the help that I received on August 10, 2014 following a skiing accident. My ankle was broken in two places, my fibula was broken, and all the ligaments were torn away. So the Helivac was a God-send. The volunteers were so thoughtful and caring.

Thank you Matt, Team Leader, Kristi and others for pulling me out of the snow on January 7, 2014. I still cannot walk on my left leg but I am scheduled for an MRI and orthopedic doctor tomorrow.

I want to give you our sincere thanks for being there during my life saving event that happened on Friday, September 13, 2013 near Horse Lake in the Sisters Wilderness. I was bucked off my horse when he stepped on a hornets’ nest and threw me into a grove of trees. I broke my back among other things. Between the Deschutes County Search and Rescue, the Oregon Air National Guard and others I am thankfully alive and well today, one year later. I can’t express how much we owe all of you for my life.

I had an ankle break at Golden Lake in the Three Sisters Wilderness Area at 3 pm on August 12th. The break happened at the north shore of the lake while jumping across a creek. Alone and away from my group I cried out to God to help. I crawled back to my camp and got a cell phone from a friend. I called 911 and got put through to Sheriff Deputy Jim Whitcomb. He calmly asked me questions and got my exact GPS location and dispatched two teams of SAR volunteers, who hiked in and carried me out. Thanks to SAR, an ex-drug addict and ex-alcoholic still has a shot at a bright future.

The Subaru of Bend Outside Games presents triple platinum recording artist Smash Mouth Friday night, June 24th at the Century Center. Attending the show and drinking a brew will help support Deschutes County Search and Rescue.

On Saturday, September 22nd , Baldy’s Barbeque in Redmond will host its ninth annual Cornhole Classic and pig roast to benefit Deschutes County Search and Rescue Foundation. The tournament
will be held from 1pm -4pm at Baldy’s Redmond location at 343 NW 6th St in Redmond “This is a great opportunity to host a fun competition that has a growing base in Central Oregon,” notes Baldy’s Barbeque Owner, Brian Dioguardi. “We are also excited to see the bulk of the proceeds benefit Deschutes County Search and Rescue Foundation and to support the vital services they provide to the
community.”

Cornhole, a simple yet addictive pastime with Midwestern origins, is growing in popularity in the Northwest. Its mainstay is fall and the football season, when cornhole is also known as “tailgate toss”. The game is simple: Players throw beanbags (purists throw bags filled with corn kernels) at two angled wooden platforms with holes in the middle that face each other at an approximate distance of 27 feet. If the bag lands on the board: 1 point. If the bag goes through the hole: 3. The first individual or team of two, that reaches 21 points wins.

“When the Bend Radio Group and Baldy’s Barbeque approached us about the tournament we were excited about the opportunity,” states Ed Busch, board member with the Deschutes County Search and Rescue Foundation. “This is going to be a great event and we appreciate the support from the community.”

Register at any Baldy’s Barbeque location in Central Oregon. For a $50 registration fee, teams of two will compete for cash prizes and bragging rights. A Baldy’s BBQ lunch is included with your registration fee.

Enjoy a night of informative discussion of avalanche awareness from the Search & Rescue Foundation as well as complimentary ski waxing from REI!

Labor Day weekend I decided to take my dog for a hike to Chush Falls outside Sisters while my husband watched opening day football. I hike all the time alone so thought nothing of it. Once I got the Chush Falls, it was a very steep user trail down to the canyon bottom to see it up close. When turning back, best I can tell my left foot slipped while on top of that log and fell forward with all my weight hitting my right foot which probably was at a weird angle too. All I remember is seeing my knee bulge out sideways and then crashing into the gravel. My leg was stuck at a weird angle and it was incredibly painful to move it even a tiny bit. I was stuck. After realizing I was in real trouble and had no cell service, I started screaming for attention. A trail runner found me not 5 minutes later and ran to call 911. It took only about 2 hours until I saw the first Search and Rescue yellow shirt coming over and I have never been so happy to see someone! When Search & Rescue arrived they told me that they had to get my knee back in place to move me because getting the litter down the ravine was going to be very difficult. Next, they put a auto blood pressure cuff and pulse ox on me, plus an IV, all while I was still in that place. Crazy! After a bout of strong drugs I passed out and when I woke up- VIOLA! My leg was completely straight and a full wrapped brace was on! Now they got the “muscle” – two of the bigger SAR guys – to help carry me at times up and over all those logs. Finally, back at the hillside, I was put in a harness and roped up, and since it was too steep and narrow for the litter. I had to hike up on my good leg, with the 2 guys on each side helping me up. Once at the top I was strapped in the litter with a large wheel. Four people then rotated holding me while we went down the 2.5 miles or so back to the trailhead and a waiting ambulance. It turns out that I dislocated my knee which ruptured my ACL and MCL, and my meniscus was shredded. There is no way I would have gotten out of there if SAR had not come. I will be forever grateful to Search & Rescue and all the wonderful people who helped me. THEY ARE ALL VOLUNTEERS and did this on their holiday weekend for no charge to me or anyone they help. You NEVER think this will happen to you, but be thankful we live in an area of such unsung heroes!
