His career began with civic education work in Los Angeles and transitioned into workforce training for farm workers and welfare recipients. He later co-founded a small consulting and translation services business alongside his wife, Sylvia, before joining the Nevada Small Business Development Center and eventually assuming his current role with the state.Now at Business and Industry, Marcel supports entrepreneurs and small business owners across Nevada. Through tools like the Nevada Business Resource Hub and the Business Roadmap, his team helps individuals structure their businesses, connect to funding, and understand licensing—all with free, practical support. Marcel emphasized the importance of addressing workforce development and housing to support Nevada's continued economic growth and saw a major opportunity to expand Southern Nevada's manufacturing and distribution sector.Outside of work, Marcel enjoys long walks with his wife and exploring different communities on foot. He finds value in getting to know neighborhoods and small businesses up close, which fuels his passion for workforce development and his love for people. His advice to young people?

He later took on leadership roles in various educational initiatives and ultimately joined JAG (Jobs for America's Graduates) Nevada, where he works passionately to help students overcome barriers and achieve their goals.Dr. Cantú emphasizes the importance of resilience, encouraging young people to view mistakes as opportunities for growth. "You determine your own success and value," he advises. He believes in the power of following one's passions and finding ways to be of service rather than getting caught up in titles or salaries. He also highlights the interconnectedness of education, economic opportunity, and healthcare access.He shares two impactful stories from JAG participants: a young woman who overcame family separation to pursue a career in law and a student from a rural area who found support despite significant challenges. Dr. Cantú envisions creating pathways for young people to achieve careers that offer annual earnings of $80,000 to $100,000 without the burden of student loans.In his downtime, Dr. Cantú enjoys spending time with his family, engaging in outdoor activities, and exploring new places. He stresses the importance of self-care for maintaining balance and perspective, encouraging young people to prioritize their well-being and pursue their passions wholeheartedly.Additionally, Dr. Cantú encourages families and students to participate in the School Start Time Survey, which aims to improve high school students' academic performance and mental health.

In this industrialized country, we have had a war on wild what we call "predators," helicopter gunners shooting wolves to “protect” caribou herds in Alaska. Every day is open season on mountain lions in Nevada. Between 2000 and 2021, at least 4,229 mountain lions were killed in Nevada by hunters, trappers, and the state's lethal removal effort, according to data from the Nevada Department of Wildlife. Humans are the greatest threat to mountain lions. In California, close to 40 million people live within, or adjacent to, cougar habitat.

In the most recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," host Tony Brueski delves deep into the chilling case of Thomas Randolph, accused of murdering his sixth wife and a friend. The twist? Randolph claims it was all done in self-defense. The episode highlights an intriguing pre-trial hearing that took place two months ago.   Brueski prefaces the hearing, remarking on the peculiar nature of Randolph's persona: "I think it's important to take a listen and understand more about the very bizarre personality of Thomas Randolph."   The audio from the hearing paints a picture of courtroom drama interwoven with layers of complexity surrounding Randolph's case. The hearing takes place virtually, with Mr. Randolph logging in from the Nevada Department of Corrections. The list of attendees include Mr. Randolph's counsel, Mr. Oro and Mr. Orum, and Mr. Pesci, representing the state.   One of the significant concerns raised during the session is Randolph's access to his lawyers. He fervently expresses his frustration: "It's beyond me that my lawyers... Cannot set up a virtual [call]... this is getting old really fast." Randolph then emphasizes his dire need for lawyer-client communication, expressing that after 14 years and 25 different lawyers, he's more than weary. He states with certainty, "This case is over. It's just a matter of filing a couple of motions and the state's not gonna be happy with it."   Another contentious point is Randolph's request to be transported to his lawyer's office to review evidence vital to his case. He pleads, "There are literally hundreds of pictures and dozens of hours of video and audio that I have to listen to... I haven't seen the whole walkthrough just because I've had 25 lawyers in 14 years..."   The judge, however, asserts that such a transport request is out of her jurisdiction and up to the prison's discretion. But there are also notable lapses in communication; Mr. Oro, Randolph's lawyer, claims they've been facing difficulties even connecting with Randolph via phone, given the prison's policies.   To this, the judge replies, "I signed it May 18th, saying that he's supposed to have weekly telephonic conferences with you and Mr. Orno. Are you saying that is not being complied with?" She further emphasizes the need to have the prison authorities present in the courtroom to clarify the miscommunication and ensure compliance with her orders.   There's a striking moment when Randolph passionately conveys his conviction that once his lawyers see the evidence he's holding, they'll file the appropriate motions, and in turn, "ruin" both the judge and the state's day. "Then you are going to grant these motions that they file and I'm going home," he claims.    As the discussion draws to a close, Randolph inquires about material from Crime Stoppers that his attorneys are expected to receive, to which the judge confirms that the court order for it will be signed.

BHA Podcast & Blast, Ep. 143: Feral Horses on Public Lands in Nevada More than 82,000 feral horses roam U.S. public lands, about four times as many as the land and water can sustain. Almost all of them live in Nevada, the most arid state in the union, where their impacts are almost unimaginable: desertification and massive loss of wildlife, ranging from pollinators and other insects to sage grouse, elk, mule deer and pronghorn. The Bureau of Land Management is doing what it can to address this crisis, but the agency finds itself in an impossible position with an entirely misguided but powerful feral horse advocacy movement. However, a growing coalition of biologists and natural resource scientists, hunters and anglers, wildlife advocates and people who love the Nevada public lands (and the horses) are in a desperate race to solve this problem in a humane way – before it's too late. Hal traveled to Nevada to talk with some of these experts: Mike Cox, state bighorn sheep and mountain goat biologist for the Nevada Department of Wildlife; Tina Bundy Nappe, an Eastern Sierra landowner and public lands advocate; Jim Sedinger, sage grouse biologist and retired University of Nevada wildlife ecology professor; and Bryce Pollock, a conservationist and hunter with the Nevada chapter of BHA.

The escape and eventual capture of prisoner Porfirio Duarte-Herrera was all over the news this week — but could it become a hot button topic in this year's fiercely competitive governor's race? After all, Sheriff Joe Lombardo is running on a public safety platform, and the Nevada Department of Corrections director was a Gov. Sisolak appointee. Today, Sonja, Dayvid and Scott get into the potential political fallout of a highly-publicized manhunt. Then it's on to a lawsuit filed this week by Councilwoman Victoria Seaman against fellow Councilwoman Michele Fiore and the City of Las Vegas, claiming that not only did Fiore assault Seaman at City Hall (breaking Seaman's finger in the process), City Hall impeded the investigation and destroyed video evidence. (Yes, it's a hot mess, and yes, we get into it!)

As cities grow further into wildlands and natural habitats, and as animals attempt to adapt to these urban environments, it is inevitable that people and wildlife will come into more contact.My guest today, Jessica Wolff, works to help people and wildlife when these interactions occur. She is an Urban Wildlife Coordinator for the Nevada Department of Wildlife. As an Urban Wildlife Coordinator, Jessica educates the public and fields calls from the public. These calls include questions about unexpected animals in people's yards and houses and reports of sick or injured wildlife in the city. And occasionally Jessica is dispatched to assess, capture, move, or otherwise help animals in distress. Today we discuss the most common wildlife encounters that Jessica handles, ranging from coyotes, to bats, to raccoons, to fledgling birds. And this allowed us to get into some of the natural history and urban adaptations that these animals have. Jessica also answers listener questions about bat boxes and fox burrows, and adds some insights into some of my own backyard wildlife. I know that I'm coming away from this conversation with a better perspective on what it means to offer resources - intentionally or unintentionally - to wild animals. You can find Jessica at jawolff93 on instagram, and the Nevada Department of Wildlife on Facebook or their website.FULL SHOW NOTESLinks To Topics DiscussedThe Accidental Ecosystem, People and Wildlife in American Cities, Dr. Peter Alagona.

OVERVIEWOn this week's episode of Bucket Talk, we chat with heavy hauler Teddy Verras, who you may know as @heavy_haul_n_fool on Instagram and TikTok. After securing a commercial driver's license just out of high school, he started hauling heavy freight, such as 200,000 pound excavators and other oversized loads. Listen in as he chats with Eric and Jeremy about the ins and outs of heavy freight hauling and the future of the trucking industry. ABOUT TEDDYAfter high school, Teddy moved to Elko, Nevada where he applied for a summer job with Nevada Department of Transportation, which led him to get his commercial driver's license, and, eventually, into heavy freight hauling. “I started getting my feet wet by hauling like excavators and stuff like that…that's how I got into like the medium duty stuff. And from there, I got put into a heavy truck, another four axle truck with a big trailer and they sent me down to Arizona to pick up a big drill rig. And they were pretty much like, please figure it out and don't break nothing or get hurt. It took me forever to get this job done. But I got it done.” Today, Teddy hauls excavators and other heavy, oddly shaped loads for his company, oftentimes with rigs so big that he's got the highway patrol escorting him from place to place. He's been in the game long enough at this point that if something needs to be moved, no matter the size, he can handle it. “...Excavators and rollers and backhoes and you name it, I can drive it. One of my favorites was when one of our customers had a Hitachi 600 excavator, weighing like 200,000 pounds. It was freaking crazy.” Moving forward, Teddy says he's looking into buying his own truck in the future and building his own company from the ground up. But for now he's enjoying being a company man on the road while he works towards the next level. “It's always like the next logical step. You know, some people become a company driver and they're okay with it. But you know, I could make more money hauling groceries owning my own truck than I do now as a company driver heavy hauling.” If you want to know what life on the road is like for a heavy hauler, Teddy documents his life in depth on TikTok and Instagram.

The world around us is constantly changing, and not always for the better. It is undeniable that humans have a stressful impact on wildlife. But the good news is, there are conservation pups working hard to save our environment, one species at a time. Today we speak with Heather Reich, a Game Biologist with the Nevada Department of Wildlife, and she shares with us how her Karelian bear dogs are chasing black bears in order to protect them. Black bears in the Sierra Nevada Mountains often make their way into populated areas that are abundant with easy meals; fruit trees, houses full of sweets, and garbage cans free for the taking. This is dangerous because these bears become comfortable around people and spend less time in their natural and safer environment. This is where Heather's bear dogs come in. Once a bear is caught acting naughty within city limits multiple times, it is tranquilized and relocated to a less human populated area. Then, the bear dogs haze and harass the freshly released bears to create a negative association with people. But this is not only happening in Nevada. Nils Pedersen is the Director of the Wind River Bear Institute (WRBI) in Alaska, where he breeds and trains Karelians to do conservation work around the globe. Some of his dogs have even found their way to Japan. Picchio is a Wildlife Research Center in Japan that uses Karelian bear dogs to enable peaceful coexistence between people and the Asiatic bears that live in the forest. Junpei Tanaka tells us about his two Karelians who work as wildlife ambassadors to local communities. Lastly, we will hear from Kyoko Johnson, who is the founder and lead K9 trainer at Conservation Dogs of Hawaii. Her conservation canines detect invasive species like devil weed and coqui frogs, to help conserve the delicate flora and fauna of Hawaii. Photo Credit: John Axtell, taken of Heather's Karelian bear dogs in Nevada Heather Reich Heather Reich is a Game Biologist with the Nevada Department of Wildlife and has 5 Karelian bear dogs. Using Karelians, Heather works to mediate human and bear interactions in the Sierra Nevada Mountains as a method of black bear conservation. Her first two Karelians, Sputnik and Orca, are now retired at 13 years old and are living the life of luxury with Heather and husband Derek. The rest of her pack are active canine conservators. Nils Pedersen Nils Pedersen is the Director of the Wind River Bear Institute (WRBI) in Alaska. He began working with the WRBI in 2011 as the trainer and handler of the Karelian bear dog “Soledad”. Together they have worked to address human-bear conflict issues with all three species of North American bear: brown, black, and polar bear. Nils completed a M.Sc. degree in Wildlife Biology and Conservation from the University of Alaska Fairbanks in 2019. You can support the Wind River Bear Institute at https://beardogs.org/donate/ Junpei Tanaka Junpei Tanaka 純平田中 is the leader of the bear team at Picchio's Wildlife Research Center and has been working there for over 20 years. Junpei has two Karelians, Tama and Rela. Tama means “bullet” in Japanese, was named after Picchio's first bear dog from the Wind River Bear Institute. Rela means “wind” in the Ainu (indigenous peoples of northern Japan) language, and her name was a tribute to Wind River Bear Institute for first establishing the use of bear dogs as a method of coexistence.
