As one of only two certified diabetes education programs in Northern Nevada, Carson Tahoe Health in Carson City has once again been awarded the prestigious American Diabetes Association Education Recognition Certificate for providing an outstanding diabetes self-management education program.

As the nation’s leading certification agency for diabetes education, the ADA has officially acknowledged Carson Tahoe’s program for offering elite guidance & support; critical components of a patient’s comprehensive diabetes care plan.

The Association’s Education Recognition Certificate assures that educational programs meet or exceed the National Standards for Diabetes Self-Management Education Programs. These standards were rigorously developed and tested under the auspices of the National Diabetes Advisory Board in 1983, and are continuously updated based on the ever-expanding body of diabetes research.

Organizations with diabetes programs may voluntarily apply for recognition and renew their certification every four years. Programs that achieve recognition status have a staff of knowledgeable health professionals who can provide participants with the latest information on effective diabetes management.

“In addition to being a growing health epidemic nationwide, findings from Carson Tahoe’s 2016 Community Health Needs Assessment identified diabetes as a top health concern in Northern Nevada,” said Syndi Skilling, Diabetes Education Program Planner at Carson Tahoe Health. “Carson Tahoe is pleased to renew our ADA certification, which we have maintained in good standing for over 20 years. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality diabetes treatment, resources, and support to our community.”

According to the ADA, there are 29.1 million people or 9.3 percent of the population in the United States who have diabetes. While an estimated 21 million have been diagnosed, unfortunately, 8.1 million people are not aware they have this disease.

Many will first learn that they have diabetes when they are treated for one of its life-threatening complications – heart disease and stroke, kidney disease, blindness, and nerve disease and amputation.
In addition to the certified diabetes education program, Carson Tahoe offers a diabetes prevention program, Small Steps Big Rewards, in conjunction with the CDC; this proven program is designed to help those who may be at risk of developing diabetes.

One of the rock star recruiters in my recruitment division, Heather, had a thought provoking question for me. She asked me about gun-shy job applicants. Lately, she had faced applicants who were plain tired. They had lost their fire.

After so many applications, first calls, and even interviews leading to nothing, they weren’t excited to speak to a recruiter. Even though we had a real opportunity, there had been many “real opportunities” before. As a result, the energy was gone.

Boy oh boy do I understand! In fact, if you think about it, job hunting is a lot like dating. It’s a vulnerable process where you put all you are out there in hopes of finding a match. Rejection, or perceived rejection, can be painful. Over time, it’s draining. Non-opportunity works both ways. The job seeker can go on an interview to discover a position isn’t as fantastic as it looked when they applied. Too many of those and they start to wonder if their position is even out there. Yep. It’s a lot like dating.

So, if you are looking for a job (or know someone who is), today’s column is for you.

Be clear in what you want: One issue I run across with job seekers is they use one resume for every position.

Although generalists can do a lot, often a generalist resume won’t float to the top of the stack. Multi-talented individuals don’t get called for a specialty if it isn’t communicated. Take the time to create resumes for each type of position you want. If your answer is, “I want anything” start being clear and targeted in what you want so you can go after it.

Understand recruiters are on your side: The recruiter is your friend. If they are a headhunter, even more so because they only get paid if you get hired. They want to move you forward. It’s important to understand the types of recruiters, so you know who you are talking to.

Some work for the company and are not headhunters. They get a salary. Others recruit on contract for hiring companies. Still others are a few layers away from the hiring manager. They all have one common denominator. They are looking to fill a position. They could fill it with you.

You have to kiss a lot of frogs: Network, connected on LinkedIn, apply, talk to recruiters – every action you take brings you closer to a position you will love. Here’s the trick. Keep taking action! Treat every call, interview, and application as a connection, an opportunity to learn.

Refusing interviews, even for lower positions, may result in missing an opportunity. They may interview you for a lower position. Then they state they would like to keep you on file for a higher position down the road. You don’t even get in the running if you don’t go on the interview. So go.

I notice I inadvertently created an acronym, BUY. But, it’s true. If you don’t take those actions, an employer won’t BUY YOU as an employee.

If you are looking for a job, in any state, email your resume to succeed@whatworkscoaching.com and we will see what we have. If you have lost your career confidence and feel a coach would help, you can claim a complimentary 30-minute consultation at www.whatworkscoaching.com.

The point is this. Take action! Job hunting can be frustrating. Hiring can be, too, and I will discuss that in a future column. But the important thing to remember is the only way you lose is by giving up. So get out there, network, send resumes, and let people know you are looking. Open yourself up to opportunity and it will come in unexpected ways. I believe in you.

KEEP LEARNING. KEEP GROWING.

The National Weather Service in Reno has changed the forecast in reference to flooding on the Walker River. The River is now forecasted to reach a peak of approximately 2,500 CFS (cubic feet per second) by Friday instead of the earlier forecast of 3,370.

This change has provided local officials with some relief and allows additional time to complete protective measures.

County Manager Jeff Page says it doesn’t mean that we are out of the woods yet and that the public should continue with their protective measures and those measures should be kept in place for the weeks to come.

This summer will see a lot of water running through the Walker River and any significant change in weather or debris build up could create a flooding situation. Lyon County and the City of Yerington will continue monitoring the river and working with the National Weather Service to keep the public informed.

Page says all processes for warning, evacuation and response are in place and he is hopeful that they won’t have to be used but he warns its way too early to let our guard down.

CARSON CITY — Governor Brian Sandoval hosted community advocates, law enforcement officials, members of the Legislature and their invited guests in his office Monday for the signing of several bills. The Governor has signed 73 bills into law with 22 receiving final approval.

“These measures provide new and expanded services for members of the military, enhanced protection for law enforcement and first responders, allow students with disabilities better opportunities to reach their full potential and secured protections for charter school students. Nevadans will also now have public “safe spaces” where they can conduct online transactions,” said Governor Brian Sandoval. “I’m encouraged to see members of the Legislature come together and present common-sense, bipartisan solutions. I am committed to completing the state’s business and to working with legislative leadership to move Nevada forward.”

Assembly Bill 64 was sponsored by the Nevada Department of Education and expands support and resources for student with disabilities, particularly learning disabilities, who earn “adjusted diplomas” pursuant to an individualized education plan (IEP). This bill enables new processes for students with disabilities to earn standard diplomas which is significant because many post-graduation opportunities treat “adjusted” diplomas differently than standard diplomas.

Assembly Bill 118, originally sponsored by Assemblyman Skip Daly expands concealed firearm permits to individuals 18-21 years old if they are members of the Armed Forces, the National Guard, or were discharged from service under honorable conditions.

Assembly Bill 132 applies enhanced penalties to violent crimes committed against uniformed civilian employees or volunteers of law enforcement agencies, state and local government agencies, and fire-fighting agencies. This measure was sponsored by Assemblyman Elliot Anderson and passed unanimously.

Assembly Bill 282, sponsored by Assemblyman Elliot Anderson, allows military personnel, who are ordered to relocate by the military, to terminate service contracts like gym memberships, cell phone and internet service agreements without facing a penalty. This measure passed both houses unanimously and supports the Governor’s objective of ensuring Nevada is the most military and veteran-friendly state in the nation.

Assembly Bill 297 was originally sponsored by Assemblywoman Sandra Jauregui and requires law enforcement agencies to designate e-commerce “safe spaces” where individuals can meet to complete online transactions. This bill passed unanimously and will help facilitate internet commerce and reduce opportunities for online predators to harm victims.

The full list of bills signed today can be found below:

It is time to gather up the family and gear and head to your favorite recreation spot. Memorial Day weekend is the kick off for the summer, and traditionally it is a very busy weekend on the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. Forest visitors can enjoy biking, camping, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, picnicking and many more recreations activities this summer.

With its 6.3 million acres, the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest is the largest national forest in the lower 48 states. The Forest has 40 campgrounds, 14 picnic areas, and 46 trailheads throughout Nevada and portions of eastern California. The public can also visit the forest’s two visitor centers: Galena Creek Visitor Center in Reno, Nevada and the Spring Mountains Visitor Gateway in Mount Charleston, Nevada. In addition, there are 24 wilderness areas, 1,698 motorized trails, and 1,872 non-motorized trails to explore.

The public should keep in mind that most areas on the Forest experienced above normal snow accumulations this winter, so many high elevation recreation facilities, roads, and trails will not be accessible for another month, depending on weather conditions. Lower elevation recreation facilities, roads, and trails that are open may be wet and muddy due to recent snowmelt. Also, forest users should be aware that even if a recreation site is accessible, all amenities may not be available yet.

To ensure public safety and prevent resource damage, the Forest urges the visitors to refrain from driving or hiking on soft, muddy roads or trails and choose more hardened designated routes until ground conditions change. Proper and responsible use of the Forest’s road and trail systems are important to ensure roads and trails remain in good condition for all visitors.

“The public should also exercise caution when traveling on Forest Service roads and trails that run along streams and rivers,” said Forest Supervisor Bill Dunkelberger. “Warming weather will cause rapidly increasing snowmelt and runoff as the day progresses. This can cause stream levels to rise quickly without warning.”

Dunkelberger advises against driving over a road or bridge that is covered by flood waters because vehicles can be easily swept off a road or bridge by fast moving water. It is also dangerous for hikers to cross flood waters. Flooding streams and rivers can carry hidden debris such as logs and rocks and are filled with heavy silt, creating hazardous conditions.

The public should always use defensive driving techniques while on Forest Service roads. This includes adjusting speed to current weather and road conditions. Stay alert for unexpected hazards, including other vehicles, livestock, ruts, rock slides, fallen trees, and washouts.

Forest users planning to use livestock on National Forest lands are permitted to use only certified weed free straw, hay or pellets. The Forest is also asking equestrians to stay off higher elevation trails until conditions become dryer.

Memorial Day weekend is a time to enjoy the outdoors with friends and family. However, it is important for forest users to celebrate responsibly and to be careful with fire. The Forest is encouraging visitors to follow several fire safety tips for safe celebrating this holiday:

— Do not leave campfires unattended.
— Clear vegetation and dry debris down to bare soil within 10 feet around your campfire.
— Be sure to completely put out campfires, leaving the site cold to the touch.
— Make sure lighting and heating devices are cool before refueling.
— Ensure cigarettes, cigars and tobacco pipes are fully extinguished when not in use.
— Use caution when operating vehicles in close proximity to vegetation.
— Spark arresting devices must be properly installed and maintained on all internal combustion engines.
— Also, before venturing on to the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, please pick up a map with the appropriate level of detail for your planned activities:

For motorized travel: Motor Vehicle Use Maps (MVUM) are available at all Forest Service offices, and may be downloaded from http://bit.ly/2rkkvdK. In addition, the MVUM can be downloaded to a mobile device, such as an iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch or Android (4.0.3 or newer), directly through the Avenza PDF Maps Mobile App. For detailed instructions, visit: http://bit.ly/2qLjnCT.

For hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding: Topographic maps are recommended. Visit the US Geological Survey for online purchases: https://store.usgs.gov/.

Forest visitor maps and wilderness maps: Are available at all Forest Service offices. Visitor maps are also available online at: nationalforeststore.com.

For additional information on how to obtain a MVUM or other maps or on the status of Forest campgrounds, trails, and roads during this Memorial Day weekend, please contact any of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest’s offices:
