On May 15, 2009 this blog posted a story titled: YOUR CERT TEAM PRACTICES TO HELP. The story was intended to be 100% positive however a couple of tongue in cheek words apparently diminished the posting for some readers.
V.W.Resident has been asked to make it clear to all that both victims were given treatment at the scene, and eventually transported to a local hospital. The scenario was a planned event designed to test volunteers skills so that in the event of a real emergency they will be prepared. At the end of that story were the words "Thank you guys for your efforts," which again should be noted. The TEAM did, and does, do a good job trying to be an asset to this community. It is hoped that they are appreciated.
Readers should note, and it has been stated repeatedly, that this is a private blog. It does not pretend to be an "official" source of news. It is for family, friends, and neighbors. Please read the description to the right. There is also an email address listed at the bottom of the description column for one to express concerns directly, or to view the official website.
Neighborly participation is always welcome from the readers who hopefully will join in with the words: "Thank you guys for your efforts."

Sir, I understood this was a practice session, and the team is residential volunteers.The community appreciates this as I do. Youre verbage was quite confusing, it appeared as though your victimes were deceased but a golf cart was salvaged.In written word, unless youre a Hemingway, it's very difficult to show emotion (IE touge in check comments). This team is a needed emtity, but when reporting events, be precise, your humor does not come across as such. Congratulate your team for a well done job, but lets pray they are never needed in a true disaster.
Bruno, Thank you for your comments. We are on the same page now. Hope to hear from you again.
You should consider that a reader does not always see your sick humour. You wrote about a very serious subject, then admit to making tongue in cheek comments. Theres a place and time for humor. What that organization does is wonderful,I support it, and am a benefactor of it so why not present fact, not half assed attempts at humor. Im glad you posted this clarification, humor has a place, and its most important, but this wasnt the place for it.
Thank you for your comments. Glad you support Teams efforts.
