NCARES Grants Answers and Queswtions
From:
 
To: ncares-admin@n4tab.com
 
HLS grants now are allocated through the 9 DPR Regions (Domestic Preparedness Regions) in NC. There is a hierarchy and all Counties in each DPR are in contention for all available funds in that DPR. The voting contingents decide how the monies will be allocated within each DPR and it's brutal. A well written, supported and lobbied proposal may win a DPR approval and then face State-level limits of funds availability.

Most EOCs have funds that can be allocated to purchase equipment to support ESF-x support activities.

UASI funds are available for training through State-sponsored courses, but I'm not aware of anything beyond that.  We'll have some info forthcoming about this specific topic in October.

We were able to get a small grant from your local Wal-Mart.  You would probably have to be a 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) organization to get one, but you might be able to get it through your Emergency Management without being a 501 ( c ) ( 3 ).  I don't know how likely you are to get this as I applied for a second grant about 4 months ago and have not heard anything from them, but it is a possibility.

Steve;
In talking with W4EAT he indicated  that the Stanly club has a meeting this week so I thought I’d get this to you before your meeting.
I heard that Wayne N4HWH talked About the Special event station  W4Z to celebrate the BSA 100th anniversary  at Camp Barnhart
on September 24-26th   on your net a while back .

We are needing operators from all the councils counties  to man the stations during the celebration and was hoping that some members from the Stanly club can participate.   We are looking at a minimum of 3 hours shifts if all possible.

We will be starting on Friday about 3 pm and running to 8 am Sunday . We are planning to have  2 stations on line  and will be bring down the CARS trailer as  one of them and am looking for another setup for the second.

 If you would please promote this at the next club meeting it will be appreciated.
Contact myself or N4HWH at the email addresses  above for more information or with any questions.

Thanks for your help.

Here are some of the details about the 5K run during the United Way
Kickoff Friday Sept., 3rd.

Race will start @ approximately 7:30p (volunteers need to be there @
7:00p) from near the Salisbury Post @ Fisher Street. Runners will go
east on Fisher to S. Long, right on S. Long to Horah. right on Horah
to S. Main, left on S. Main to 5 Points (Ice Cream Shop), "right" on
Fulton to W. Innes, right on W. Innes to Salisbury Post.  United Way
is looking for as many volunteers as they can get and want them along
the course, especially at the intersections, to help with traffic
control
. One lane will be blocked off but there may be traffic from
other lanes trying to make turns, etc.

All volunteers will be required to wear vests with some reflective
tape
on the front and back. However, since the hams may not be
involved in traffic control, they may not need them - just be
available to monitor progress of the runners (walkers) and report any
problems.

We need to send in names of all participants as soon as we can so let
me know by 30 AUG 10 by email or via the radio.

Estimated time for event is 2130 to 2200, but this is just a guess.
Would like to get at least 15 people who want to come out.

Thanks

Hissss: N.C. is No. 1 state for copperhead bites

  • 'If they can find mice and they can find heat, they'll have a comfortable place,' says Grover Barfield, education chairman for the N.C. Herpetological Society. He has suffered three venomous snakebites, two from copperheads.
  • Mecklenburg County reported 28 copperhead bites in 2009, second only to Wake's 49. This 22-inch snake was caught in Cary on Wednesday. Often, copperheads bite because they feel threatened. ETHAN HYMAN - ehyman@newsobserver.com

More Information

  • Clear debris away from the foundation of your house.

    Trim shrubs to keep them from getting overgrown.

    Avoid stacking wood near the house.

    Keep grass cut.

    Wear shoes when outdoors.

    Do not try to catch or kill snakes.

  • Do not panic.

    Do not apply ice.

    Do not make a tourniquet.

    Do not cut the wound and suck out the venom.

    Sit as still as possible after calling for medical attention.

    1. North Carolina

    2. Texas

    3. Virginia

Kevin Rose got bitten two years ago, walking to water the tomato garden in the ivy-laden backyard of his south Charlotte home.

"Since I was barefoot, I was walking on the ivy to keep my feet clean," Rose said. "Then - bam! - it happened."

Rose said he thought it was a bee until he realized he'd been struck by a copperhead.

North Carolina is No. 1 in the nation for copperhead bites, with 228 documented last year. Most came in urban counties, where subdivisions brush against woods and creeks.

Mecklenburg County, with 28 reported copperhead bites last year, trailed only Wake County, which saw 49, according to Carolinas Poison Center statistics.

Anna Dulaney, spokeswoman for the poison center, said Mecklenburg has 13 reported copperhead bites so far this year, Wake County has reported 25.

Symptoms of copperhead bites can vary from mild swelling and bruising around the bite site to severe swelling and discoloration that spreads rapidly, causing tissue death.

Dulaney said sometimes bite victims can experience drops in blood pressure or changes in the way their blood clots, but she said such extreme symptoms are rare.

Grover Barfield, education chair of the N.C. Herpetological Society, has been bitten twice by copperheads.

"I had caught a baby copperhead and I was supposed to do a show-and-tell at my son's second-grade class. It was Friday the 13th," Barfield said. He said he was holding the snake's tail when he dropped its head. It recoiled and struck him.

"It was like a bee sting except three to five times more painful, and I could feel the venom spread to each of the joints in my hand."

Barfield said he excused himself from the class and drove to the hospital. He went back later to advise the kids to "not do as I do but do as I say and leave them alone because they can hurt you."

Not all copperhead bite victims experience symptoms. Dulaney said sometimes the snakes will "dry bite," or bite without injecting venom. She said most of those bites don't get reported. Jeff Hall, president of the N.C. Herpetological Society said studies of copperhead bites show up to 40 percent of bites are dry.

"They're not out to get people," Hall said.

"It's energetically expensive for them to bite something they can't eat - like a human," he said.

Hall said copperhead bites are often the results of snakes taking defensive measures when people get too close.

Tim Sullivan of Critter Control in Charlotte said copperheads like to lie in leaves or grass in partially sunny areas, making golf courses and parks likely places to get bitten.

He said Critter Control has handled 10 or 12 copperheads, mostly in the south Charlotte area.

Sullivan said minimizing pine needles and natural litter around your house, as well as using a chemical repellent, will help ward off copperheads. If you're face-to-face with a copperhead, Sullivan recommended, leave the animal alone and call a professional.

Both Hall and Sullivan said they have never been bitten by a copperhead, despite having careers that put them in contact with the reptiles.

Hall said copperheads are by far the most prevalent venomous snake in Mecklenburg - the five other types of pit viper in North Carolina are all found either in the mountains or coastal plains.

Copperheads are the only venomous snake present in all 100 counties in the state. They are capable of living anywhere they can find shelter, water and food.

Michael Dorcas, herpetologist and associate professor at Davidson College, said that while copperheads do present a threat when provoked, they aren't typically aggressive and should just be avoided or left alone.

"Sure, you've got to watch out for them, just like you've got to watch out for hornets' nests and holes in your yard," he said. "They're part of our natural world."

Hissss: N.C. is No. 1 state for copperhead bites

Michael Dorcas, herpetologist and associate professor at Davidson College, said that while copperheads do present a threat when provoked, they aren't typically aggressive and should just be avoided or left alone.  "Sure, you've got to watch out for them, just like you've got to watch out for hornets' nests and holes in your yard," he said. "They're part of our natural world."

ARLB021 FCC to Allow Government Drills Without a Waiver as of September 3

In July, the FCC released a Report and Order (R&O) that amended Part 97 -- more specifically Section 97.113 -- stating that government entities sponsoring disaster and emergency drills will no longer need to apply for a waiver to hold these drills.

Additionally, employees who wish to participate in non-government-sponsored drills and exercises may do so under certain conditions.

Part 97 is the portion of the Commission's rules that govern the Amateur Radio Service. In the August 4th edition of the Federal Register, the FCC issued a summary of the R&O entitled Amendment of the Commission's Rules Regarding Amateur Radio Service Communications During Government Disaster Drills -- noting that the effective date of these new rules will be September 3, 2010.

Dropped in on Larry (HOP), KF4HOP, this afternoon at CMC-NE. He is in room 4477 but "may" get to go
home today but I rather doubt it. More like Saturday or Sunday from talking with him and his mom. I would
call to see if he is still in the hospital if you are in the area the next day or two before just dropping in. Larry's
mom said Donna would have to have some wrist surgery to correct some of her problems. Along with the neck
brace and arm or part of broken she also has at least one rib (Ouch!) broken.

Keep Donna and Larry Drye in your thoughts and prayers.

FCC Okays Employee Participation in Emergency Drills

Moving with unaccustomed speed, the FCC adopted a Report and Order on July 14, allowing hams who are employed by both government agencies and non-government agencies such as hospitals, to participate in emergency and disaster drills on behalf of their employers. The ruling was based on a Notice of Proposed Rule Making, WP-10-72, issued this past March, in response to petitions arising from a strict interpretation by the FCC's Enforcement Bureau of the prohibition on amateurs communicating on behalf of their employers. The decision came just more than a month after the reply comment deadline.

The ruling added a new paragraph to Section 97.113(a)(3) of the FCC rules, which reads as follows:

(i) A station licensee or control station operator may participate on behalf of an employer in an
emergency preparedness or disaster readiness test or drill, limited to the duration and scope of such test or
drill, and operational testing immediately prior to such test or drill. Tests or drills that are not
government-sponsored are limited to a total time of one hour per week; except that no more than twice in
any calendar year, they may be conducted for a period not to exceed 72 hours.

There is no specific effective date given in the Report and Order, so it will presumably become effective upon publication in the Federal Register. The complete text of the report and order may be accessed online at < http://www.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2010/db0714/FCC-10-124A1.pdf >.

members of ARES in the following counties: "Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Union, Lincoln, Cleveland, Catawba, Iredell, Gaston, Rowan, and Stanly.  This class is geared toward public safety dispatchers and amateur operators that are required to take their skills out to a large event or disaster.  We will focus on how the RADO fits into the Communications Unit in the NIMS structure.  We will also train on the Charlotte UASI Mobile Operations Center and do a few functional exercises.
 The class is July 20th and/or 21st (1 day class) at the Charlotte Fire/Police Training Academy.
 If anyone is interested, please Contact Caryn Pipkin at 704-336-8803.

Color the RV as Dog Gone
It has been sold thanks, to Ed (W4KMA).  It sure removed a liability from the Club.  Too bad that we could not make better use of the RV.  Thanks to all those folks that helped clean it up and thanks to the folks that donated equipment for the vehicle, Carl (W4EAT), John (K3ON), Fred (N4NMS), John (KD4RLH), ED (W4KMA), Terry (KA4KTU), Don (AE4AH) and Paul (KD4OZI).  All equipment will be returned to the Donors.  Fred, Carl, Terry and Ed (W4KMA) have been taken care of.

I have a box for John (K3ON), a table and vacuum cleaner.  A power meter for John (KD4RLH) RLH is in my car.  Worst case FD can be a dropping point.  We could not find the jack that was provided by Don (AE4AH) the Club should reimburse the cost to Don.

And thanks for those that provided the funds to bring the RV from from Hendersonville.

ARRL made the transition April 13 to its new website, which has been in development for three years and is the largest change in communications outreach for the League since its first website was introduced twenty years ago.  The new website is far more interactive than the model it just replaced and will contain much more information and resources.  Like any large transition, however, there are glitches which need to be addressed.  Many Section Manager functions are not presently available.  ARRL staff is very aware of this and is working to restore these functions as soon as possible.  I hope to have a section newsletter shortly once that capability is restored.  Everyone’s patience is appreciated while these issues are addressed and resolved.

ARLB008 FCC Seeks Comments for Blanket Waiver to Allow Amateur Radio
in Hospital Emergency Drills

In February 2010, the American Hospital Association (AHA) filed a
request with the FCC for a blanket waiver of Section 97.113(a)(3) of
the Commission's Rules "to permit hospitals seeking accreditation to
use Amateur Radio operators who are hospital employees to transmit
communications on behalf of the hospital as part of emergency
preparedness
drills." On March 3, the FCC issued a Public Notice --
WP Docket 10-54 -- seeking comments if the Commission "should grant
AHA's request for a blanket waiver of Section 97.113(a)(3) to permit
amateur operators who are hospital employees to participate in
emergency drills that are conducted by hospitals for accreditation
purposes and that are not government-sponsored." Section
97.113(a)(3) specifically prohibits amateur stations from
transmitting communications "in which the station licensee or
control operator has a pecuniary interest, including communications
on behalf of an employer."

+ Three Killed While Erecting Antenna

At approximately 8:40 PM on October 12, a man, woman and their 15 year old son were killed while trying to erect a 50 foot vertical antenna at the home of the man's mother, Barbara Tenn, KJ4KFF, in Palm Bay, Florida. The deceased were not licensed amateurs. According to police reports, Melville Braham, 55, Anna Braham, 49, and their 15 year old son Anthony were putting up an antenna -- Tenn's second -- at night when they lost control of the antenna and it crashed into nearby overhead power lines. The impact sent 13,000 volts of electricity through the pole that the three were holding. A family friend, a 17 year old boy, was on the roof at the time of the accident. He and the couple's daughter, who was in the house at the time, were not injured. Click here for more information.

Hello!

I just wanted to drop a quick line to the clubs in North Carolina to let them know about a couple of things that are going on with us at The SERA Repeater Journal.

FIRST--- we’re excited to have Tom Forrest, N4GVK, aboard as our new North Carolina columnist. Tom is in Greensboro, but has also lived in the eastern part of the state. I’ve attached his intro from the August issue, in case you missed it. He’ll start his regular column with the November 2009 issue…..in the meanwhile, please send any newsletters, press clippings, or quick news items to him at <n4gvk@sera.org> or 4994 Heritage Woods Dr; Greensboro, NC  27407.

THE OTHER item is our upcoming February Hamfest Round-Up. The quick news here is…..to get in on this, you MUST have sent a hamfest announcement to the Repeater Journal’s HAMFEST EDITOR at <hamfest@sera.org>. While it’s very nice to hear from you, if you sent notice to me at <editor@sera.org> or some other way, that will not   get you on the list---- when you send hamfest material to me (including advertising!), it gets mixed in with literally tons of other stuff; if I took the time to sift through and find all the hamfest stuff, I wouldn’t have time to do the Round-Up: it’s that simple. If you’d like, there is a simple facility to submit hamfest info at <www.RepeaterJournal.org/hamfest> . DO NOT ASSUME THAT WE HAVE YOUR HAMFEST E-MAIL ADDRESS SIMPLY BECAUSE WE HAVE YOUR HAMFEST LISTED IN THE HAMFEST CALENDAR!!! Also, while you’re there, download and start filling out the Round-Up worksheet---- we’ll be taking the info on-line only this year between November 15 and December 15.

Well, that’s it for now.

Ask Terri

Question

How much distance does each second measured between a lightning stroke and a bolt of thunder?
by: Veronica S.

Answer

Each second equals about one-fifth of a mile. Once you see lightning, every five seconds that you count before hearing thunder equals one mile. For example, if you see lightning and count 10 seconds before you hear thunder, the lightning was two miles away. When you hear thunder and see lightning at exactly the same time, lightning is nearby! The reason that lightning is seen first is because lightning travels at the speed of light (186,282 miles per second) and thunder travels at the speed of sound (1,125 feet per second or .213 miles per second).
