Fallon’s Harvey Dahl to be inducted tonight into Wolf Pack Hall of Fame

GRIDIRONHe is the epitome of what hard work

can produce. Through determination and his love of life, Fallon’s Harvey Dahl reached the pinnacle of success as an

offensive lineman in the National Football League.

From Fallon’s Edward Arciniega Athletic Complex to the University of Nevada’s Mackay Stadium in Reno, Dahl showed the grit that makes both a gentlemen and player as he later competed in the NFL for three teams — San Francisco, Atlanta and St. Louis.

For what he brought on and off the field and with the pride he instilled in those who followed him in Northern Nevada, the University of Nevada Wolf Pack Hall of Fame is inducting the Churchill County High School graduate tonight along with the 2003-04 NCAA Sweet Sixteen men’s basketball team; golfer Rich Barcelo, football player Mike Crawford, Nevada men’s basketball coach Mark Fox, baseball player Jim Puzey, football player Mike Crawford and volleyball player Salaia Salave’a.

Recovery Day helps

others

Fallon Family Fun Day is tomorrow from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. in Venturacci Park, honoring Nation-al Recovery Month with plenty of support and free fun for all.

Organizers New Fron-tier Treatment Center and Churchill Com-munity Coalition aim to support anyone in the community suffer-ing or recovering from substance abuse or behavioral health issues including family mem-bers of sufferers.

“It’s about sharing with the community that we’re able to pro-vide information,” said New Frontier’s Debbie Ridenour. She also said the day offers the kind of activities supported by clean and healthy living.

Since 2007, the gathering has been providing wholesome activities for all ages. Tomorrow will have a 5K Color Blast walk/run, live music, bounce houses, face painting, police dogs, a pie-eat-ing contest and raffles throughout the day. There will also be 100 children’s goodie bags handed out, filled with an assortment of toys and other items.

FINANCIAL FRIDAY: Churchill County gaming revenue shows increase - page 10

More residents added to the rolls

A total of 51,591 Nevadans were added to the rolls in September, bringing the total num-ber of active voters to 1,386,550.

Some 34,686 of those were new voters. The rest were inactive voters returning to active status by updating their registration informa-tion. The total voter rolls in the state finished September at 1,622,162.

The vast majority of that increase came in populous Clark County, which added 26,059 new names to the rolls.

According to the Secretary of State’s Elec-tions Division, the largest increase was among nonpartisan voters who added 14,109 new names to their total and 17,614 when inactives and existing voters who changed to nonparti-san were considered. Nonpartisan voters now make up more than 20 percent of the total registered.

Democrats still hold a commanding lead in total registration at 646,339 compared to 535,782 Republicans. That is a lead of 110,557.

But the margin is closer when just active voters are considered — 548,557 to 471,110, a gap of 77,447.

Churchill County added 274 more voters, a total registration of 12,651 as of Wednesday. That includes 7,440 Republicans, 2,535 Dem-ocrats and 1,842 Independents.

According to Deputy Clerk Erin Montalvo, Churchill County has registered about 2,000 voters more than the last presidential election year in 2012.

PENSACOLA, Fla. (NNS) -- Sailors can now access several tools and resources found on Navy Credentialing Opportunities Online (COOL) via their mobile devices with a new Navy COOL application that launched Jan. 28.

The Navy COOL app, available for both Android and iOS/Apple devices, is designed to help Sailors, both enlisted and offi cer, to fi nd information on credentialing, career development, and civilian crosswalks related to their military occupation.

“This new app provides an expanded capability for Sailors to help them translate the skills they’ve learned on the job into civilian credentials, career growth opportunities and related civilian occupations,” said Keith Boring, Navy COOL program manager. “The app is a great complement to our newly redesigned website and provides extra features that I think Sailors will fi nd handy to have at their fi ngertips.”

Besides credentialing information, the app provides enlisted members with Learning and Development Roadmaps (LaDRs), which are rating-specifi c online guides that explain in detail what Sailors need to succeed at specifi c points in their career. Additional app features include snapshots of related civilian occupations and United Services Military

Apprenticeship Program (USMAP) trades, along with generic joint service transcripts associated with each enlisted Navy rating.

Rating Information Cards also provide summary information such as school locations, training time, qualifi cations and working environment. These and the other features within the app are particularly useful for recruiters and career counselors, especially when they are on the go, as they advise potential recruits and Sailors of professional options available to them.

“The Navy COOL app is another valuable tool that will provide training and resources to our Sailors to support their Navy career and beyond,” said Rear

Adm. Mike White, commander Naval Education and Training Command. “We want to ensure, especially with today’s younger generation that we’re giving them the means and tools to access information wherever they are, when they want it and in ways they fi nd most convenient for them.”

For enlisted Sailors and veterans who are not using Navy COOL to fund credentialing exams and fees, the app also provides a gateway to Department of Veterans Affairs GI Bill funding options.

The Navy COOL app is a bring-your-own device (BYOD) tool designed to work on personal devices outside of the NMCI domain. Users can download the Navy COOL app from the Apple store and Google Play Store at no cost.

The Navy COOL app is the latest in a series of apps produced by

the U.S. Navy Sea Warrior Program (PMW 240). Other recent apps include the Final Multiple Score Calculator, Operations Security General Military Training (GMT), and Domestic Violence GMT.

To fi nd the free Navy COOL app, search “Navy COOL” in app stores or in your web browser.

The Navy COOL offi ce is located at the Center for Information Dominance (CID) at Naval Air Station Pensacola Corry Station. CID is the Navy’s learning center that leads, manages and delivers Navy and joint forces training in information operations, information warfare, information technology, cryptology and intelligence.
