    Clarkdale AZ (March 6, 2014) – Over the past six months, Yavapai College has greatly increased its business assistance presence in the Verde Valley.  During September 2013, the Yavapai College Small Business Development Center (SBDC) began reestablishing contact with the Verde Valley business community to determine the services needed to support entrepreneurship and business expansion.

    “The message received was loud and clear,” said Kurt Haskell, Director of the Yavapai College SBDC.  “There was a pent-up demand for assistance to entrepreneurs in business legal structures, intellectual property considerations, managerial accounting and the understanding and use of social media to market their businesses.”

    This input, confirmed Haskell, resulted in the creation of business training seminars that have attracted over 100 businesses.   “Seventy businesses have become clients of the SBDC where they receive one-on-one counseling sessions with experienced business counselors.”

    According to Haskell, most counseling is provided out of the Cottonwood Business Assistance Center (BAC) and Spur Ventures in Camp Verde.  “The entrepreneurial spirit in the Verde is exceptional,” added Haskell.  “Working with the Chambers, SCORE, Cottonwood Economic Development Council, Spur Ventures, and other partners we will create a supportive environment for business.”

    “All of our partners are stepping up their game to help support our entrepreneurial community,” said Casey Rooney, City of Cottonwood Economic Development Director, echoing Haskell’s sentiment.  “The addition of Yavapai College’s Regional Economic Development Center has been a huge benefit to our Verde Valley clients.”

    Verde Valley businesses seeking assistance are advised to contact the Yavapai Small Business Development Center at 928-776-2008, www.yc.edu/sbdc or the Cottonwood Business Assistance Center at (928) 340-2740.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
