    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 Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
