Appendix D: Community Focal Points Appendix D: Community Focal Points Services for seniors are provided through a network of public and private agencies throughout the state. As a method of coordinating these services, the Aging and Disability Services Division (ADSD) has designated community focal points. Those entities funded by ADSD are indicated by the underlining. Aging and Disability Resource Centers are indicated by an asterisk, and provide the most comprehensive resource assistance to access services. The community focal points are predominately senior centers, which provide visible and accessible points where seniors may receive supportive services and nutrition. The community focal point is also the place where the senior may access information and assistance in locating other needed resources. Contact information is current as of December 2011.

Almost one million rides each year given through the NDOT/ Federal Transit Administration pass through Funding programs. Our state partners are Division for Aging Services, Rehabilitation, DMV and Transportation Services Authority (PSC). The Advisory Committee for Transit brings all the interested parties together several times a year to discuss important common issues. Fallon CART Bus The American Public Transit Association estimates that for each dollar invested on public transit, it returns six dollars to the local economy. NDOT administers approximately 10 million dollars of Federal rural transit funds annually for programs statewide. Each program requires a local match that can be difficult for local providers to raise. We are on track for administering about $20M in the next few years. Rides are given on buses for almost all activities including cultural and tribal functions, transportation to senior citizen centers for meals, shopping, medical, government services and social activities.

[1] Chief Tecopa was a leader of the Southern Nevada tribe of the Paiute in the Ash Meadows and Pahrump areas. In the 1840s Tecopa and his warriors engaged the expedition of Kit Carson and John C. Fremont in a three-day battle at Resting Springs.[2] Later on in life Tecopa tried to maintain peaceful relations with the white settlers to the region and was known as a peacemaker. [3] Tecopa usually wore a bright red band suit with gold braid and a silk top hat. Whenever these clothes wore out they were replaced by the local white miners out of gratitude for Tecopa's help in maintaining peaceful relations with the Paiute.

Long time ago Lots of fishes… Mabel Wright’s protest prayer-song begins with these words. Sung in May 1964 on the south beach of Pyramid Lake, and accompanied only by a drum, Wright’s song called upon the traditional Paiute power of the spoken word to evoke the lake’s past and to protest threats to its survival. She chose a perfect location. From there, she could view the shoreline and hills where Wizards Beach Man lived more than 9,000 years ago and where fishing tools—a hook, a line made from sagebrush, and a sinker—were found and dated to 9,600 years ago. She could see the place where Sarah Winnemucca—Nevada’s greatest advocate for Native American rights—was born and lived her early years.

The series in American Archaeology and Ethnology, which was established in 1903, continues unchanged in format, but is restricted to papers in which the interpretative element outweighs the factual or which otherwise are of general interest. The new series, known as Anthropological Records, is issued in photolithography in a larger size. It consists of monographs which are documentary, of record nature, or devoted to the presen- tation primarily of new data.
