Search and Rescue

At the end of the 2007 Session, the interns gave Senate President John Valentine the prestigious "Most Likely to Rescue You from an Avalanche – Literally and Politically" award.

The Daily Herald and Deseret Morning News covered some of Utah County Search and Rescue Team’s training exercises – with Valentine front and center. Valentine has spent the last 27 years pulling people off rock ledges, out of lakes and rivers and bringing them home. He is currently a Lieutenant with the Utah County Search and Rescue.

Nice stories. Good pictures. No, he’s not really hurt.
