BUD AND WINONA CURTIS Make calls and do paper work
YOU
ARE NOT ALONE
YANA program is one of the most effective programs going today. One simple little telephone call daily
has saved countless lives. It only takes a minute for COP’s to make the call.
Most of the people being called are
ready to answer the phone as soon as it rings. Calls work both ways. If the call is a little late, it worries the person being
called. If the person doesn’t answer after a few rings it worries the caller. The caller try’s again if still no answer it’s
time to have the home checked out. A COP is in route while the Sheriff’s Dispatch is notified.
There have been many
reasons why the call was not answered. The person is down and can’t reach the phone. Went to their Doctor and forgot to notify
the caller. All COP members hold first aid and CPR certifications. They know exactly what to do as soon as they reach the
person.
Most everyone has someone looking out for them, but the COP calls are the most timely and accurate when something
needs t be done.
If you would like a daily call you must make the first call to 951-7836. Leave your name and phone
number and we will get in touch with you. Now for the best part “IT IS A FREE SERVICE” so make the call today.

Does the Sheriff’s YANA Program work?
You bet it does!
A
Spring Valley Lake resident went out in her back yard to fill a bird feeder. She got dizzy and fell to the ground and could
not get up. She tried several times to get up but still could not make it. The house was about one hundred feet away. She
started dragging herself towards the house because she was expecting a call. When the call came she was able to get on her
hands and knees and crawl to the phone.
She receives this call daily from the Sheriff’s YANA program (Spring Valley
Lake COP’s) and talks to the same person every morning. After getting in the house she thought she would be OK. She told COP
she fell but was OK. The COP asked a few questions then immediately called the COP that was on duty (Hank McGill). All COP’s
have first aid and CPR training and made a follow up call to the home. She had bruises on the side of her face, shoulder,
arm and leg. She was in a lot of pain and still could not get up.
Sheriff’s dispatch was notified and an ambulance
was on the way. She was taken to St Mary’s Hospital where after three days she was hoping to get released soon.
We
are told by persons that need this service, that they don’t want it because they have someone checking on them. This person
has a sister that lives across the street and neighbors that check on her constantly. Somehow the YANA Program works better
and exceeds all other ways of checking on persons at home. This is a free service provided by the Sheriff’s Department and
the Spring Valley Lake COP’s.
If you would like information on this free service you can call 951-7836 and leave
your phone number. We will get in touch with you.
