Brad Newman/Yavapai Exception Industries
Nominated by Jon Ballard
Brad Newman has played an astronomical part in my life.
After receiving an employment opportunity to work for Yavapai Exceptional Industries out of high school in 1999 through NACOG, I was able to witness Brad Newman over the years, being a hero.
With his constant enthusiastic attitude to the function of YEI and the mission statement (rendering a person with disabilities to become as independent as their condition will allow) Brad has been a hero in this over his 40-something years of service here at YEI. He was he guiding light to two grand group homes for independence and on a mission for two more in Prescott Valley. He expanded the mission as our community grew into both Prescott Valley and Prescott Regional Airport. Our members we serve come daily to have a productive filled life with quality and excellence in what they do. With Brad Newman’s guiding light over the years this has been possible.

OUT & ABOUT — Thank you to Molly Romine for sending in this photo of the Prescott Valley Healing Field of Northern Arizona at the Prescott Valley Civic Center. The annual display of nearly 3000 flags is a memorial to the victims of the 9/11 attacks.
"Each flagpole bears information about the victims of the attacks. Many visitors have found the names of friends and family, and others have come to pay their respects to the victims and the first responders who gave their lives trying to rescue them."
The flags will be on display until Sept. 18. Thank you to all of the volunteers who install and remove the flags each year.
