    logo_yavapaicollegeClarkdale AZ (October 20, 2017) – Julie Islas was pregnant with her son, Wyatt, while studying nursing at Yavapai College in Clarkdale. He was born the year she graduated – 2008.

    But the story Islas will recount when she returns to the YC Verde Valley campus for a speaking engagement on Thursday, Oct. 26 is not about being a pregnant nursing student. Instead, she’ll share with current nursing students, staff and community members, how being a nurse and the mother of a Type I diabetic has changed the trajectory of her career. And, she’ll talk about how the community she has called home for 20 years made it possible for Wyatt to acquire a life-saving service dog.

    20171020_ycWyatt and his service dog, Aqila, will be on hand for Isla’s presentation titled, “Love in a Furry Package,” at 6 p.m. in Building M, Room 137. Aqila is trained to alert family members 24 hours a day if Wyatt’s blood sugar falls below safe levels.

    The YC Student Nurses Association, one of the many contributors to the fund that enabled Islas to acquire Aqila, is hosting Islas’ talk.

    All are welcome to hear about the journey Islas, Wyatt and Aqila have taken together, with help from the community, and how that journey has shaped Islas’ healthcare career path.

    The YC Verde Valley campus is located at 601 Black Hills Drive, Clarkdale.

    The Apprentice
    By Tommy Acosta
    Watching the latest debate from end to end once again it appears that the future of the GOP rests upon the shoulders of Vivek Ramasamy. Not sure exactly why but he simply outshines the pack. He has fresh energy and is light on his feet. He’s smart, confident and slick. He has snap. Crackle and Pop. He is young. A successful businessman and fearless. He is like a young Trump apprentice, full of vim and vigor and ready to rumble. Everyone else on the debate stage appeared dull, cranky or lifeless. Halley looked like she was suffering from a terminal case of constipation and badly needs a wardrobe manager. Christie looked like someone who bit into an apple, found a half-eaten worm, and decided to eat it anyway. DeSantis just keeps getting more and more boring; a somnambulist on Percocet. Scott looked like a misogynistic woman beater talking over Haley. Pence looked like an undertaker at his own funeral. Burgum, who? Read more→
