    Verde Valley News – Yavapai County Community Health Services will offer the PreventT2 lifestyle change program to Camp Verde residents. Prevent T2 is part of the National Diabetes Prevention Program, led by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and is proven to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.

    The CDC estimates that more than 1 in 3 adults – 96 million Americans – have prediabetes. More than 8 in 10 adults with prediabetes don’t know they have it. Additionally, about 20% of American adults with diabetes don’t know they have it. People with prediabetes – higher-than-normal blood glucose levels – are 5 to 15 times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those with normal blood glucose levels.

    In PreventT2, participants work with a trained YCCHS Health Educator to learn the skills and strategies needed to eat healthier, become more physically active, manage stress, and overcome barriers that can get in the way of sustainable and lasting changes. PreventT2 provides a supportive and motivating group setting, where participants celebrate their successes and find ways to overcome obstacles.

    An information and enrollment session will be held on January 31, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. in the Camp Verde Community Library. PreventT2 will begin in February.

    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.
