Sauk Valley Community College to host blood drive June 30
The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Dillon Mall on the college's Dixon campus at 173 state Route 2.
The drive, sponsored by the SVCC Student Activities and Student Government Association, invites students, faculty, staff and the community to help save lives through blood donation.
Donors are encouraged to bring a photo ID, eat a healthy meal and drink plenty of water before donating. The donation process typically takes about an hour, and all donors will receive a $15 e-gift card.
Although walk-ins are welcome, organizers recommend scheduling an appointment in advance as spots tend to fill quickly. Appointments can be made by visiting redcrossblood.org or by calling 815-835-6432.
To streamline the process, participants can save time by using RapidPass, which allows donors to complete pre-donation reading and health history questions online. For more information, visit redcrossblood.org/RapidPass.

Key to survival and fun in Lake Michigan's surf is knowledge, training
For water safety proponent Mary Ann Best, preaching a fear of Lake Michigan is the wrong approach. 'Instead of telling everybody how deadly the lake is and to be afraid, we want people to handle themselves in the water safely, enjoy water sports and to be able to save themselves,' she said. Best grew up in Gary's Miller neighborhood along Lake Michigan's shores and has become an accomplished open water swimmer and safety supporter. She recently established a nonprofit called the Blue Flow Great Lakes Corp., which is aimed at encouraging a culture of being in and on the water safely. Wednesday's youth clinic that ended under a dark, threatening sky, drew 15 youngsters to Wells Street beach in Miller. Nine instructors took the kids, ages 6 to 15, into the lake on paddle and rescue boards to educate and teach life skills for interacting on the Great Lakes. As they headed out into the water, Jose Serrano, EMS training chief for the Gary Fire Department, watched from an ATV on the shore, while firefighter Logan McCormick sat on a jet ski just north of the students. Both are GFD water rescue team members. 'We support this class, that's why we're here,' said Serrano. 'People need to be safe and cognizant of what they do. Lake Michigan is very dangerous, and people take it for granted.' Best, who still lives in Miller, modeled her program after 'Little Nippers,' a popular Queensland, Australia youth search and lifesaving program. 'It's one of the best in the world,' said Best. 'I emailed them a year ago and asked them to work with me to start a program here.' More emails and Zoom meetings followed and Best received a book from Little Nippers about water safety for kids. Best and her daughter are revising the book, tailoring it to the Great Lakes. It will be ready for print by the end of the month. So far, Best said Blue Flow Great Lakes is the lone program in Northwest Indiana. She said there's a similar junior lifeguard program in New Buffalo, Michigan. Best also hopes the program increases the pipeline of beach lifeguards on open water who need different skills than American Red Cross-trained pool lifeguards. The kids in the clinic are introduced to lifeguarding and rescue and survival techniques. 'We get them used to swimming in all conditions and teach them the skills to be able to analyze the lake and figure out when it's not a good day to go in,' Best said. The next youth clinic on July 30 is already full. Junior program leaders also are taking on a teaching role. 'When youths teach other kids, they learn so much more themselves,' Best said. Logan Dudzik, 11, who lives in Miller, said she's at the beach nearly every day and took a previous class. 'I wanted to get better in the water and be safe. On a paddleboard, you have to get level with the wind,' she said. Mariah Smith, 14, of Gary, took part for the first time. 'It was such an experience. I'm a dedicated person and I kept falling off,' she said of her paddleboard trial. 'Next time, I will be more able. Paddling is my favorite.' Her mom, Jamika Smith, said she learned of the clinic from a friend. She said her daughter loves nature, water and the beach. 'It would be good for her to learn the tricks of the trade. She can swim a little, but I want her to be more comfortable.' Holli Divich, of LaPorte, brought 12-year-old daughter Lyric to the clinic. 'I just think it's good to learn about water safety and to be safe around water,' she said. Instructors Ty Simic and Juliet Schmidt, both of Gary, shared an incident with the class that happened to them July 12 while they were on the lake in a Hobie Cat catamaran sailboat. A strong wind broke its mast and it fell into the water, leaving them adrift. 'We would go where the wind takes us,' Simic said. He rigged another sail on the boom and a friend saw them struggling and called for help. Quickly, a Gary fire rescue crew arrived just as the couple made it back to shore. 'Call someone, let them know,' said Simic, grateful for the rescue workers. Best said both Simic and Schmidt wore life jackets and both are good swimmers. Simic was prepared and had tools on the boat. Blue Flow Great Lakes is also doing pop-up clinics at West Beach in the Indiana Dunes National Park every two weeks. 'Anybody on the beach can sign up for a two-hour session with us… We just walk around and let people know what we're doing and they sign up,' Best said. All of the clinics are free. Besides assistance from the Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant agency, the Miller Community Fund also supports Blue Flow Great Lakes, Best said. Other sponsors include Wells Street Beach and Just Passing Through, a locally-owned business. Next month, all the participants are invited back to Wells Street beach for a competition including a half-mile swim and a one-mile paddle. Best has been invited to share information on Blue Flow in South Haven and Empire, Michigan. 'Our goal is to get it going locally and be able to provide the outline for others to get it started,' she said. Best said she learned water safety as she grew up by the lake. Recently, she swam the 5-mile length of the Mackinac Island bridge and swam 8.2 miles around Mackinac Island. She also took part in the Friends of Marquette Park's effort last year to stock the park with 20 loaner life jackets and lifesaving rings. Her hope is for more beachgoers to be knowledgeable about the water currents, waves and conditions. 'Nobody knows how to act on a wavy day and the more people who are competent, the safer it is.'

A Disaster Expert's Guide To Preventing Employee Burnout
Trevor Riggen is the president of humanitarian services at the American Red Cross . getty Employee burnout is at a record high. A recent survey showed that 66% of U.S. employees are feeling some degree of burnout this year. As a leader of an organization that responds to 65,000 disasters each year, I understand the high stakes of burnout. Today, the American Red Cross is launching nearly twice as many relief operations for major disasters —about every two weeks versus once a month—as it did a decade ago. Each disaster takes a physical and mental toll on the people who help with recovery efforts, and both the pace and frequency of disasters are contributing to higher burnout. The work we do is so personal to our employees and volunteers. It's not just a job; it's part of our lives. We care deeply about helping others, but we also need to be careful of the adage that the helpers are usually the last people to seek help. Extreme stress levels can have a serious impact on our team members' health, career and home life. It can also be an obstacle to achieving our mission. If our responders aren't well cared for, they can't care for the people we serve. We may miss someone in crisis because we ourselves are in crisis—and we want everyone to receive the compassion and care they deserve. Signs Of Burnout You can experience burnout no matter what field you're in. There's no medical diagnosis for burnout, but there are common red flags you can look out for. Get a gauge of each person's baseline reactions to everyday situations. When are they acting out of character? Are they showing signs such as increased impatience or decreased energy? On my team, one of the signs of burnout is an unwillingness to take a break. If someone is holding on too tightly and feeling as if they are the only one who can solve a crisis, it's a clear warning that they need some time off. I recommend the following five leadership strategies to build and sustain your team's resilience. 1. Be Authentic Set the tone that burnout isn't the norm. Show your employees that it's okay to be human, and help them set realistic priorities and goals. No one can work 20 hours a day, day after day, and expect to sustain that schedule. Encourage people to take breaks as a necessity for caring for themselves and doing their best work. 2. Be Transparent It's a natural instinct to want to protect your team from the stress you're dealing with as a leader. But transparency builds trust and is ultimately protective against burnout. Your employees want to know what's going on, even if you don't have all the answers. A lesson that I learned during the Covid pandemic was that when there is a heightened level of stress, leaders need to overcommunicate. Holding regular video calls with hundreds, if not thousands, of volunteers allowed us to share whatever information we knew that day. We shared our current priorities, made sure everyone had a clear idea of our direction and let people ask questions. We couldn't eliminate the uncertainty of a stressful time, but we could help each other manage the powerlessness that can lead to burnout. In addition to big team meetings, make sure to do one-on-one check-ins with the employees you manage. Ask questions that show you care about them as people, not just their metrics and goals. How are you doing? How's your family? What's going on in your life today or in the near future? And my favorite question: When are you taking vacation? 3. Be Present As I was developing as a leader, servant leadership was the model. The idea was: If you care for your workers, they'll care for your mission. I still believe this is true, but there are times—especially during moments of crisis or high stress—when being present and leading from the front matters. Show up on the ground. Let your team see you do the little things, not just the big speeches. When I was a regional executive covering Northern California, one way I'd show up for my team was by helping out with the important manual tasks: setting up cots in a shelter or unloading a truck. It was important to show my team that these small tasks mattered just as much as the large ones—because if they don't happen, nothing happens. People will remember the few minutes you invest in taking the time to walk through a warehouse or work site and thanking the people who are stacking boxes or cleaning offices. Show your appreciation. This visible leadership is meaningful, not just for the people you're thanking but also for the people who see you thanking them. 4. Be Growth-Oriented In the middle of a stressful situation, you can sometimes lose sight of the important leadership question: How is this helping my employee's career? But it's critical to remember that every one of your team members, especially those who are just getting started, are concerned about the next steps in their professional development. Look for tangible ways to help employees grow their skills and offer mentorship opportunities. In my check-ins with employees, I weave in ways to talk about how experiences will feed into their desired career path. I also look for chances to coach them on topics such as work-life balance and mental health. 5. Be Empathetic Empathy comes naturally to most people in my field. The challenge is that we're very empathetic toward the people we serve—but we also need to have the same empathy for each other as we deliver that service. Ensure that your employees know how to access support resources, including employee assistance program services, counseling and wellness programs. Model healthy behaviors, and be the first to take a day off so others have permission to do the same. I often hear from people in other fields, 'Well, I don't work in a disaster ...' as a way to minimize their own experience with stress. But almost any job has moments that feel like disasters. Stress is extremely personal, and you can't compare your stressful environment to someone else's. Addressing worker burnout requires a proactive approach, and the payoff is creating a more resilient and motivated workforce capable of meeting incredible challenges head on. These strategies can be applied to almost any workplace. The most important takeaway is simply remembering to ask your colleague, friend or neighbor how they're doing.

He's traveling to every American Red Cross site in the country. Here's why.
Some teenagers dream of getting a driver's license, buying a cheap car and spending late nights out with friends. But when he was young, Ryan Dolce hoped to one day give blood. At the time, the now-30-year-old Dunkirk, New York, resident wasn't allowed to donate because he was under the weight requirement. Now, he's on a mission to donate platelets to every American Red Cross donation center in the nation. "When I moved back to where I live now, the Red Cross started doing a blood drive at where I worked. I was like, 'OK, perfect. This is the perfect opportunity to finally start donating blood regularly," Dolce, a hospital security guard, said. When he looked into the process, Dolce learned he has type A positive blood — making him an ideal candidate to donate platelets, the tiny cells in blood that form clots and stop bleeding. Cancer patients, burn victims and bone marrow recipients often need platelets, sometimes described as 'liquid gold.' And they must be used within 5 days, creating high demand for donations. I "realized how much of an impact it can make. So, I said, 'All right, let's start doing that,'" Dolce said. Since then, he's checked 25 of the Red Cross' 200 sites off his list – and counting. Stepping up to save others Dolce first got the idea to visit every Red Cross location after donating platelets at the organization's Buffalo, New York, center. "I joined a Facebook page. It's with the Red Cross for platelet donors. So, I was on there and just seeing other people all over the country, I was like, 'I wonder what other locations are like?'" he said. "I went to the closer ones. I went to Cleveland, then I went to Rochester (New York) — the closest ones to me. I was like, 'Well, why not just do all of them?' Dolce donated his 100th unit of platelets to the Red Cross on June 23 at the The Lewis Center donation center's team supervisor and site manager, Shay Fisher, said she hoped his venture would inspire people to join him in donating blood and platelets to help save lives. "You come in and you're saving a life. And what he's doing, he's potentially saving up to three lives with today's donation," she said, gesturing to Dolce in the donation chair across the room. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ryan Dolce (@platletguy) "Sometimes, we have to step outside of ourselves for others. Red Cross is all about the community and helping each other in the community, and that's the bigger picture." 'Need for blood is constant' Summer can present an array of challenges to blood supplies, as travel and inclement weather prevent people from donating, the Red Cross said. Daniel Parra, a spokesperson for the agency, recommended people schedule appointments ahead of time to help officials ensure there is enough blood, platelets and plasma for all patients. 'Dedicated blood donors like Dolce are vital to ensuring blood is available when and where it's needed most,' Parra said. 'The need for blood is constant — and it can only be met through the generosity of individuals who roll up their sleeves to give.' Parra said typo O blood is typically the first to run low during a shortage, and it's the most needed right now. People who have type O negative blood are known as universal donors, meaning their blood can be given to any patient. Donating 'liquid gold' About every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood or platelets, according to Red Cross estimates. Unlike blood, which can only be donated every 56 days, people can give platelets every seven days, or up to 24 times a year. One donation can provide enough platelets for up to three patients. People with type O negative and type B negative blood are not eligible to donate platelet, but the Red cross encourages people with all other types of blood to give. Those with type AB blood can make the most impact donating plasma, the Red Cross advises. For more information on donating platelets, visit the American Red Cross' website. An eight-year blood-giving journey Dolce has already donated at every location in his home state of New York. In early July, he stopped at the nonprofit's only center in Vermont, completing three of the 37 states where the Red Cross has donation centers. If he keeps up the pace – donating every seven days and up to 24 times a year, Dolce said it will take him a minimum of eight and a half years to complete his journey. "One of the other reasons why I like doing it is on the Red Cross app, they tell you where your products went to, like specifically which hospital," Dolce said. "I just always love to see that." The self-described 'platelet guy' said he plans visit new centers the American Red Cross opens, but will mark his goal complete after he donates at the 200 Red Cross centers that were open when he began the journey. From there, he said he plans to tackle other non-American Red Cross sites in order to donate platelets in all 50 states, as well as Guam and Puerto Rico. He may even add Canada. "More than anything, I want to thank him for starting this journey. That's an awesome thing to do," Fisher said. "For as long as he can do it, I wish him well on all the many endeavors that this takes him."
