The novel and film Cool Hand Luke continue to haunt me. The story reveals America's failure of…read moreempathy, respect and gratitude to its Veterans. It is a tale of cultural sadism to a decorated war hero with Service-connected PTSD who was self-medicating himself with alcohol from the horrors he had experienced in war. He's imprisoned after a PTSD episode of drunkenly cutting off the heads of parking meters. It is really wrenching when this decorated war hero is ordered to "git his mind right," whipped, tortured, beaten, then killed, all by sadistic Americans. All would at least give you some pause. You just don't have such fraught relationships with Veterans who are so fragile, desperate, discouraged --who far prefer to never have experienced the horrors of war, and society's mistreatment of its Veterans. American culture has moved past such outright vicious cruelty to its Veterans in the years since. Today, that tale is indeed a violation of our contemporary ideas about the moral and proper way to deal with our Veterans. So, it is particularly horrifying that only 41 states currently have at least one Veterans Court. A couple years ago I had a Veteran friend arrested in Reno, Nevada. He didn't know about Veterans Court. I did, so I contacted help who got him transferred to Reno Veterans Court. Instead of being jailed, two years later, I see a different Veteran, a Veteran with tools to help him better safely and legally function. An always growing number of Veterans like my friend leave their military Service with life-long issues from including but not limited to PTSD, traumatic brain injury (TBI), military sexual abuse, trauma exposure. One in five Veterans has symptoms of a mental health disorder or cognitive impairment. One in six Veterans who served in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom suffer from a substance use issue. Many Viet Nam war Veterans have several life-long Service-connected issues. No wonder why Veterans are more than two times succumbing to suicide than non-Veterans. Veterans Courts were first created in America in 2008 for Veterans and Active Duty GIs. Because a Veterans Court judge handles numerous Veterans and GIs cases and is supported by a strong, interdisciplinary team, he or she is in a much better position to exercise discretion and effectively respond than a judge who only occasionally hears a case involving a Veteran or GI defendant. A Veterans Court judge is more familiar with VA Health, VA Benefits, State Department of Veterans Services, Veterans Service organizations. Veterans Courts are a "one-stop shop," linking Veterans with programs, benefits and help they've earned. A VA Veterans Justice Outreach Specialist is present during court with a laptop computer able to access confidential medical records, make treatment appointments and communicate this information to the court. Reno's Veterans Court was created in 2009 as a holistic approach to help Veterans. It operates as a multi-jurisdictional court as it accepts cases for misdemeanors, gross misdemeanors and felonies. Here the Court and its staff can better serve Veterans and GIs with an appropriate treatment program tailored to Veteran's individual needs. Programs range widely from weekly hearings and check-ins with court staff to arranging for transitional living and residential programs. For all participants, regardless of their program, Veterans Court operates as a 12-month program at no charge to the Veteran. Veterans Court partners with local providers to provide substance use counseling, case management, drug testing, and referrals to vocational, academic and housing programs. Additionally, the VA helps to provide housing, case management and psychiatrist and medication for certain participants. Egan Walker is the current Judge for Reno Veterans Court. His Military Service is United States Army from 1981-1990, with ranks of Sergeant then Second Lieutenant. His Units were California Army National Guard, Nevada Army National Guard, US Army Reserve, US Army Nurse Corps, and US Army1150th Medical Evacuation. https://www.americanbar.org/news/abanews/aba-news-archives/2017/08/veterans_treatmentc/ On this day in history 1 January 1950 - Mary T. Sproul, M.D. is commissioned as first female doctor in US Navy. Mary Thornton Sproul of Washington, D.C., entered US Navy in 1942 after several years as a blood plasma researcher at the old City Hospital in Washington, D.C. Dr. Sproul was one of the leading blood technologists in the world and helped ensure the purity of whole blood, and blood substitutes like plasma and serum albumin used by military. In the Korean war, Dr. Sproul oversaw the shipment of blood into an active combat zone and helped the South Korean Army establish a blood bank.

And when I went to try to talk to somebody, they refuse to talk to me they only wanted to text. This seems extremely fishy. I did talk with Diane about a week and a half before this on a different matter and she was helpful but after that, nobody wanted to really help and they refused to call me. I also went to their business address listed, and it is an empty building with no office and no signage. If I get a call back and this gets fixed satisfactory, I will upgrade this review to reflect their resolution. It is not about the $25 extra. It's about the principal. They did not say they would remove the charge. The gal said she would send a ticket for a possible refund. And I did not make a second purchase in error. I only made one purchase. My biggest pet peeve was them refusing to talk to me on the phone to discuss it, which is deeply concerning. And now even if they were funded because of their mistake, I will end up having an overdraft fee

There are two issues with this court; first, the Judge I had avoided ruling on an issue because…read morethey were concerned of the "big picture" implications (even though the city is clearly violating state law). This shows at least one judge will act to avoid tough issues and force people to push cases to the court of appeals. The second issue is the lawyers for the city of Sparks have no interest in truly following the law - like any private lawyer, they just want to win through any means possible, including misdirection and misrepresentation - all to protect the city (even if it violates state law). This is unethical and immoral. Ultimately, the system is rigged and designed solely for the benefit of the city and its lawyers, and as such, people will not find justice in this court.

Like some others in Nevada that I've seen, it is a rectangular steel sign mounted on a large blue mesh background shaped like the State of Nevada. The marker reads, "Reno. Before the arrival of the European Americans, the Washoe and Paiute people inhabited the Truckee Meadows. The Stevens-Murphy emigrant party passed through the area in 1844, and settlement began in the early 1850s. Charles William Fuller established a river ferry across the Truckee in the fall of 1859 and completed a bridge and a hotel by the spring of 1860. Myron C. Lake acquired Fuller's holdings in 1861, rebuilt the bridge and established Lake's Crossing. In 1868, Lake offered land for a depot to the Central Pacific Railroad and the town was laid out. The community's name honors a Civil War officer, General Jesse Lee Reno. "Reno's transcontinental railroad connection and its rail link to the Comstock Lode helped lay the foundation for the economy, as did the lumber industry and the surrounding ranches and farms." "The community's reputation as a divorce center began in 1906 and gambling was legalized in 1931." There is street parking nearby though it will be hard to find during popular hours.
