When Adalberto Villalobos was told he was losing his job with the company he'd worked at for nearly 16 years, he didn't get upset or angry.
He smiled, packed up his belongings in a single cardboard box and walked out the door — into a new career that he says is the most fulfilling work he's ever done.
Now, Villalobos spends much of his day at the hospital or area clinics, helping bridge the communication gap between Spanish-speaking patients and English-speaking health care providers. He's part of the field of medical interpreters that is seeing increased demand as the St. Cloud area becomes more diverse, the St. Cloud Times reports.
For the 43-year-old Villalobos, a native of Costa Rica who moved to St. Cloud 20 years ago, interpreting is a chance to use his bilingual skills, natural curiosity and love of learning to help people.
"Being in different careers or works in my life, there's none that has given me the immediate rewards that I get when I interpret," he said.
While in college in Costa Rica, Villalobos thought he wanted to be a marine biologist because of his interest in science and biology. After a negative experience in a math class, he decided to pursue journalism instead.
"I'm a people person," he said. "I love to dig and find out and connect and develop relationships and connections with people. I thought that by being a communicator, I could use that power to help society and to bring truth and reality and the facts onto the table."
After moving to St. Cloud, Villalobos struck out getting a newspaper job. Instead, he went to work for Creative Memories, translating direct sales materials into Spanish, training staff and interpreting at conferences.
When the economy took a downturn, that program was dismantled, a painful process to watch, Villalobos said.
"I had just seen my baby put to death," he said. "And I had helped to chop and cut and unplug the pieces that we had built in 15 years."
While working at Creative Memories in a different department, Villalobos had the idea that he should put his bilingual skills to use again. He reached out to Jan and Francisco Almarza, owners of The Bridge-World Language Center in Waite Park, in 2010. He began using his vacation days to do some medical interpreting.
"I simply fell in love with it. I enjoyed it tremendously," he said.
In October 2010, the Bridge offered a 40-hour training session on interpreting, and Villalobos was among the first group of graduates, spending every Saturday for five weeks honing his skills. Despite his lack of experience compared to his classmates, Villalobos passed the test.
Then one Tuesday in 2011, Villalobos was told he was being laid off from Creative Memories. He decided the time was right to make the leap into medical interpreting as a career. By Thursday, he was interpreting full time.
Villalobos feels blessed that his transition to a new career went so smoothly in the midst of a struggling economy.
"We all know how serious and tough and difficult it is out there for anybody," he said.
By March 2012, Villalobos had passed grueling oral and written exams to become a certified interpreter. To prepare, he read his thick medical dictionary cover to cover, even having his two children quiz him.
Medical interpreters follow strict legal and ethical guidelines. They must maintain confidentiality and professionalism. Villalobos sits next to and slightly behind the patient and keeps his head down. He asks the doctor and the patient to address each other, not him. He interprets everything that's said in the room, even if there are multiple people present. He asks everyone to speak in short phrases to make it easier to keep up, but not everyone obliges.
For Villalobos, one of the hardest parts of the job is keeping a professional distance. He's not there to be the patient's friend or advocate, even if the doctor is delivering bad news.
"It sounds cold," he said. "And it is incredibly tough for me personally, because I'm a social bee, and I always want the best for people. I want to help people. I want to save them their pain and solve their problems. But when I put my interpreter hat on, I'm a machine."
Sometimes that can be very difficult, he said.
"It's tough when you have grandma who wants to tell you about her tamales recipe," he said. "It's really, really hard, but you have to work hard on removing the feelings and the emotional side of the business. It's almost like a contradiction, because you're dealing with humans … but you've got to be almost inhuman."
One day in late December, Villalobos was interpreting for Zoila Bucaro, a 96-year-old resident of St. Benedict Care Center in St. Cloud, as she met with the nursing home staff to discuss how she's getting along.
Villalobos leaned over to carefully explain near Bucaro's ear what staff were asking: How is she feeling, how does she like the food, does she enjoy the daily activities? Bucaro, a native of Guatemala, listens carefully and answers in Spanish, even joking about her big appetite.
Bucaro's daughter, Gloria, said she used to do the interpreting for her mother, but it didn't always work well.
"Sometimes I would start talking about her health and all that with everybody, and she was left out," Gloria Bucaro said. "I figured out it would be better for her to express her concerns and everything with an interpreter."
Health care regulations require medical providers who receive federal funding to provide interpreters. Research on the effects of bad communication on patient safety is also growing, said Izabel Arocha, executive director of the International Medical Interpreters Association. In some cases, misunderstandings causing medical errors have resulted in lawsuits.
"There's just been a huge increase in awareness that has changed these practices," Arocha said.
Villalobos takes his job very seriously. He talks to doctors, reads about different medical conditions and treatments and has even observed heart surgeries and other medical procedures to expand his knowledge.
"That kind of gives you a better, clearer understanding of what you're trying to convey when you interpret, so at the end you sound more professional and knowledgeable," he said.
Villalobos is constantly trying to improve his language skills. Many medical terms have Latin roots; many sound similar in both Spanish and English, such as diabetes.
"I'm the hardest critic of myself when it comes to language, and I'm always trying to learn," he said. "I'm always willing to be wrong or to make mistakes and to learn from them. I'm not perfect in any way."
The cases Villalobos has worked on range from routine doctor's appointments to mental health screenings to emergency room visits. He once worked from behind a curtain during a birth because no female interpreters were available.
"It's full of excitement. There is never a dull moment ever," he said.

Any Glass by Chance?
Have you got some old glass oven-to-tableware like a casserole dish? But is it really old, possibly octagonal and might even have a slight coloured tinge? If so then you may have an item of Chances' Orlak glassware that dates back to the early 1930s!
This is just one fascinating fact that has arisen during my research into a book on Chance Brothers, the early Smethwick-based pioneers of glassmaking in England from 1824. Some people may already know that Chance produced some iconic tableware during the 1960s and '70s, but did you know they were once the largest manufacturers of lighthouses, supplied the glass to glaze The Crystal Palace in 1851, and even glazed the clock faces of Big Ben? All this research will culminate in a book due to be published, hopefully, in November.
Until then I am looking for any snippets of information that covered the period from 1950 to 1981, when the factory closed. Were you a worker there? Do you have any experiences you would like to relate? With the book dealing with all aspects of the company; the history, glassware and technology, any information that might assist would be most welcome.
Orlak Advert 1932 - courtesy David Encill
Finally, if you have any Chance glassware that's not listed on my web site - http://www.chanceglass.net - particularly Orlak or Aqualux (this dates to 1939), I would be most interested to learn about it.

Residents of Dallas County could be able to enjoy the 5-acre, 283,000 gallon Aquatic Center as early as July 4.
City Administrator Brett Klein said construction crews are working overtime to reach a completion date of July 4.
"Our plans are to be open on July 4," he said. "The project is evolving each day, but there are still some things that need to be finished, but we are pushing for the 4th. Patrons should check the City's website (www.adeliowa.org) on July 3."
Wet weather pushed back the opening date by almost a month, but Klein says the new facility will be worth it.
"For 75 plus years, residents have never had a heated facility," he said. "I think they will really enjoy that."
The facility will have two waterslides, a lap pool, a shallow end for kids, a "leap-frog" area, a splash pad and plenty of shade tents.
The facility will also feature a consession stand which will sell items such as hot dogs, nachos, alligator ice (sno-cones), smoothies, soft drinks as well as healthy items like fruit and nutrition bars.
Although it is a holiday weekend, Klein anticipates a large turnout of county residents.
"I think it could reach capacity (603 patrons) on opening day, but you never know since it's the 4th of July," he said. "But it could very well reach capacity at some point over the holiday weekend."
Due to a higher capacity, the center will have 8-10 lifeguards on staff at a time including a manager on duty.
The Adel Aquatic Center will open at 12:30 p.m., will have a lap swim from 5-6 p.m.
It is located at South 15th Street in the southwest corner of Adel (by the Adel watertower).

Smooth, Not to dark. The wrap does not burn well but if you are not driving it don t matter. Just sit back relax and take you time with this one.
series E heavy in the hand, 90 minute burn time, everything you would expect in a premium cigar! Very pleased, thanks Famous
Far better than any Nub cigar to date. Great draw and taste. Perfect for that half hour lunch. But take your time because that s what this cigar is about. The perfect lunch.
I am a Cameroon fan plain and simple, I guess I d have to say my favorite cigar is La Aurora Preferidos Cameroon closely followed by Graycliff 30 Year Vintage Cameroon. These two cigars are in a completely different classification though. Seven Deadly Sins L Cameroon is my new favorite for the every day price of $55 for a jar of 20 which is a better deal than my old favorite, La Flor De Oliva Cameroon, that I bought several boxes at $75 before they raised their prices. My new everyday Cameroon will be Seven Deadly Sins L Cameroon!!!
These deadly sins have been priced fair and now on sale at 10.99 a 5 pack...and I snagged 3 kinds ..all have been what you de excpect from Plensia factory smoke...I know some have had names attached to them...all I know is the S and P are top notch...s is like nub rolled big and short so taste was ok..mthis big boy is taste and burn smooth ...it s a 90 all day...
Smooth, Not to dark. The wrap does not burn well but if you are not driving it don t matter. Just sit back relax and take you time with this one.
Awesome cigar!.
Decent taste, but very uneven burn.
I received the L in a 7DS best of sampler. After a short rest I found it to be well worth the price as an everyday smoke.The taste is typical of a Cameroon wrapper, but it stays on the light side. Strength hovered on the upper end of MILD throughout.Visually this stick will not be winning any awards. It was lumpy and rough with a couple of imperfections in the wrapper.Smoke output was good, and the draw was on the loose side. The burn was good with one runner showing at the beginning but it self corrected. No further burns issues surfaced, and no relight was needed. However, the ash was flaky and could not hold for more than 3/4 of an inch.In the end I came away with a pleasant experience if not very memorable. I have definitely spent 3-4x on lesser sticks. At the current price around 3$ I can do nothing but recommend giving this everyday smoke a try.
All in all the draw on every single stick ruined the experience and any positive feedback I could give about these.


text: Pubdate: Fri, 22 Dec 2017 Source: Victoria Times-Colonist (CN BC) Copyright: 2017 Times Colonist Contact: http://www.timescolonist.com/ Details: http://www.mapinc.org/media/481 Page: A12 DON'T BURY OUR FARMLAND Marijuana could be a profitable addition to the crops grown in Central Saanich, but a proposal for a huge operation raises a recurring question about the way we use agricultural land. Why bury perfectly good, scarce agricultural land under greenhouses, which could be built just about anywhere? Shawn Galbraith proposes to build a 150,000-square foot, $25-million greenhouse on the Stanhope Dairy Farm, near the point where Lochside Drive turns into the Lochside Trail. He plans a five-to seven-year project with 21 greenhouses on 36 acres. The first greenhouse would be twice the size of the Tilray facility in Nanaimo, which is B.C.'s largest marijuana producer. Galbraith has experience in the business. He built a Health Canada-approved cannabis operation in a bunker-like building on Lochside Drive, next to Michell's Farm. The new plan is considerably more ambitious than that eight-person facility. The first greenhouse would employ about 150 people, and that could rise to 1,500 when everything is built out. The jobs and potential tax revenue will certainly be attractive to many Central Saanich residents and councillors. "It's an important project. I can't emphasize how important it is for the region," said Galbraith. "We began to realize that three-acre site [next to Michell's Farm] wasn't going to be able to produce the economy of scale to compete in the industry." The Stanhope land is in the Agricultural Land Reserve, but cannabis operations do not need approval from the Agricultural Land Commission. The former B.C. Liberal government decided to allow federally licensed medical cannabis operations to be built on protected agricultural farmland. That's a decision the new government should revisit, because there are better uses for agricultural land. Galbraith counters: "Where else would you build greenhouses?" "I think this is an agricultural business and in my mind this is an acceptable use of the land," he said. He argues that wine grapes and pumpkins are not food, but they are grown on agricultural land. Frank Leonard, chairman of the land commission and a former Saanich mayor, said: "The argument in opposition is it's not a land-based product. You're building a bunker and putting it on prime agricultural land. But the previous government was persuaded that a crop is a crop and [cannabis] is agriculture, which perhaps makes a farm more viable and it should go ahead." Good farmland is hard to come by in B.C., where less than five per cent of the land is agricultural. But greenhouses don't have to be built on rich soil; they can sit on ground that grows only rocks and weeds. For regular greenhouses, the argument is made that they need to be on agricultural land to qualify for agricultural tax rates. However, the Liberal government decided that even though it designated cannabis as a crop, medical pot operations are to be taxed at industrial property-tax rates, rather than farm rates. Galbraith points out that industrial land is much more expensive, and finding 36 acres of empty industrial land in Central Saanich is difficult. The NDP, which had the foresight to create the Agricultural Land Reserve decades ago and is now in power again, should pay attention to what has happened to its brainchild. Is there a compelling public interest in building massive grow-ops on fertile soil? Can we use regulation, tax incentives or other inducements to attract operators to sites that are better suited to industrial facilities? With marijuana legalization only months away, add this to the list of unintended consequences. Don't build more greenhouses on our irreplaceable farmland. - --- MAP posted-by: Matt

Applying early boosts chances for hunters seeking antlerless tags and adding some more deer meat to your freezer this hunting season.
Pennsylvania deer hunters who want to better their chances of obtaining an antlerless license will want to send in applications during the first round of sales set to kick off on Monday, July 13.
During the first three weeks applications are accepted, only Pennsylvania residents may apply. Nonresidents may apply beginning Monday, July 27. Then beginning on Monday, Aug. 3, residents and nonresidents may apply for any unsold licenses that remain. The second round of unsold license sales will begin Monday, Aug. 17.
Applications received before the Monday start of any round will be returned to sender.
Applications for DMA 2 Antlerless Deer Permits, which are valid during any open deer season, but only in Disease Management Area 2, also go on sale Monday.
Compared to the previous license year, 33,000 fewer antlerless licenses have been allocated statewide this year, and most wildlife-management units (WMUs) have fewer licenses available. That means submitting a timely application is as important as ever for hunters, said Game Commission Executive Director R. Matthew Hough.
"In wildlife-management units where the allocation is relatively small, it never takes long for licenses to sell out," Hough said. "And while we've held steady the number of licenses to be allocated in some WMUs, and increased it in a handful of others, the fact remains there are fewer licenses available this year, and hunters who want to be sure they get one would be wise not to wait."
Hunters applying for 2015-16 antlerless deer licenses will follow the same process that has been in place during recent years. License fees also remain unchanged.
Antlerless deer license applications must be mailed directly to a county treasurer's office, with the exception of the Philadelphia and Lehigh county treasurer offices, which no longer issue antlerless deer licenses. Treasurers across the state will accept applications for antlerless licenses covering any WMU, but hunters should note that only county treasurers issue tags. The Pennsylvania Game Commission does not accept applications.
A list of participating treasurers and their mailing addresses appear on Page 36 of the 2015-16 Pennsylvania Hunting & Trapping Digest, which hunters can pick up from a licensing agent.
The digest also is available to view online at the Game Commission's website, www.pgc.state.pa.us.

India's Faizabad town tense after Hindu-Muslim violence
Tension prevails in Faizabad town in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh after two people were killed in religious violence on Thursday.
The town was put under curfew for the entire day after rioters burnt several shops and vehicles.
Curfew was lifted on Friday morning, but few people are out on the streets.
Clashes between Hindus and Muslims began on Wednesday night after rumours that a statue of the Hindu goddess Durga had been vandalised, police said.
Faizabad is near Ayodhya, the scene of deadly religious riots 20 years ago.
In 1992, Hindu hardliners brought down the Babri mosque there claiming that the site was the birthplace of the Hindu god Ram.
The violence on Wednesday night broke out when a group of Hindus were taking a Durga idol for immersion in a river at the end of the 10-day Durga puja festival.
Police used tear gas shells and fired in the air to control the fighting, reports said.
The state government has suspended senior local police and administration officials accusing them of "negligence" and ordered an inquiry into the incident.
Religious violence has been on an upswing in Uttar Pradesh state where at least 12 people have been killed in the last seven months.

Lupiesoft has revealed that they have a brand new eroge on the way and this one happens to take place in a realm filled with airships and monster girls. Titled Mutiny!!, the indie visual novel will feature numerous sex scenes and focus on various fetishes during the aforementioned erotic scenes that take place in the sky.
The developer has revealed details about the game's storyline, which is set to be released on PC sometime in spring 2017, as well as a brief introduction to many of the characters that will be in the game, at least a few of which are likely futanari characters, and you can check both of those out on the official website as well as the character details below:
Captain Grace Barnet
The newly-minted captain of the Mutiny!! She is coquettish, sultry, smart. Because of her faint expressions, It's hard to say whether you're being teased or not when she speaks to you. As a harlot she was tricked by the previous captain into taking ownership of a boat and all the debt on it.
Creditor Jackie
She's a tough woman, with far too much paperwork, and a whole lot of unspent wanderlust. Every story about how she lost her limbs seems more fantastical than the last! She probably made up a few of them for the fun of it. She'll be happy just as soon as someone pays off the "Mutiny!!" bloody debt.
Endlessly cheerful, bouncy, and helpful. She does not like mean people, and has a complex about bullies. Foo is truly woman's best friend. She sees the best in people even if she's being taken advantage of. Care of Foo involves donuts and giving her liberal amounts of attention.
She insists she is not a part of the crew and most of the crew are happy to treat her that way too. She is a passenger who started off as a stowaway before reaching an unknown agreement with the previous captain for passage. Despite her rather lethargic nature, Nemui is a formidable fighter.
Spiders are meant to be monsters, creating webs to trap their prey before sinking in their fangs! Lirdynrae would seem to be the exception to this rule. Demure and softly spoken, but protective to a fault when it comes to her fairy friend. She likes to be useful with her silk, and hates the idea that she might scare people.
The crew's best pair of eyes, along with being a punky fairy with a fast mouth and a lewd mind. Stars only know how long she's been friends with Lirdynrae, but she's certainly confident. Okay, maybe she's a little bit… self-conscious in regards to her tiny (albeit adorable) frame.
Grozdana Kakra
I-it's not like she enjoys being here! She's too proud for her own good, and recently became the deposed princess of a sphinx-girl nation. Despite having been born with a golden spoon in her mouth, she can see and feel more than she lets on… but it's not as though she still doesn't act like a brat…
The muscle of the ship, Alcina can often be found curled up in a corner with a book in hand and with no motivation to do anything except reading and working out. Otherwise, she's a warm and friendly crew member… unless you ruin her precious book collection, in which case she'll ruin you.
No one is quite as timid a would-be treasure hunter and former pirate as Bree. She's as likely to faint as she is to complete the task set before her. But give Bree a chance and she'll lift your spirits and calm your heart. And maybe give you a few panic attacks in the process.
Elizabeth Margaret
The moth-er of the ship. Cook, maid, and probably other miscellaneous things, she seems to take it upon herself to keep the ship liveable. While generally a kind and patient person, she sometimes seems to get a bit irritated with the more lackadaisical members of the crew.

Mrs Rheg found a newt at her work and initially claimed it was a common newt, but she later identified it as a palmate newt after getting home and looking it up on wikipedia. Has anyone seen the palmate newt in the far north? Cheers
No pic unfortunately.
EDIT, just seen that Palmate newts are known in the county via the biodiversity page on org.

Sepia Saturday #132 - Love, Set, Match - Two Little German Boys
12 comments:
Wht an endearing pair in the CDV and clever of you to find the tennis picture. You get double points this week for the Fort Lauderdal econnection too!ReplyDelete
That is a good story about the photographer. Was his studio in the department store? If so, Sears and J C Penney can say, "Thank-you!"ReplyDelete
I spent a lot of time studying this photo and comparing it to one that I have. The boys resemble my husbands grandfather and grand uncle who were born in the 1890s in Germany.ReplyDelete
The photo I have was taken in about 1898 and the boots are identical so maybe that helps date the photo?
Great CDV photo; I searched for one but had no luck.ReplyDelete
What a lot of very interesting history ... the boys are cute; too bad that it was so easy to steal people's businesses that they had worked so hard to make successful.ReplyDelete
I enjoyed your memories of Holiday Park too.
Kathy M.
Wonderful picture and interesting story!ReplyDelete
What a great story and such a cool photo!ReplyDelete
Very cute and very German. But the small curly headed boy does not have a tennis racket but a whip or riding crop to go with his rocking horse of course. I know a German website which has thousands of German/Austrian cdvs and cabinet cards sorted out with photographers names and dates, but my computer is currently broken so I can't find the bookmark. However there are lots of great images in Flickr under "German antique cdvs" and many are dated.ReplyDelete
I posted a similar sailor suit boy on an 1890-1900 cdv from the Adolf Jandorf department store which was bought by the Hertie or Tietz Co in the 1920s and then became the celebrated KaDeWe department store.
I would imagine that the success of German department stores along with quality of German cameras produced a lot of skilled family photographers. They may have continued the cdv format longer than in other countries.

It is a very cute image, the boys clothing are probably called sporting costumes or something like that. There were tennis costumes, bicycle costumes, swimming costumes, etc.ReplyDelete
Very interesting history. And those little guys are so cute! So very sad though about their department store being seized.ReplyDelete
That's a cute picture and interesting story.ReplyDelete
Sailor suits were so popular for boys that they were made with many variations, and not all looked like the ones real sailors wore.
I have one from photographer Tietz also. It is here.ReplyDelete

Paragon Park was part of Hull's Nantasket Beach for more than 100 years.
Originally named Atlantic Park, it was built in 1868 and renamed Paragon Park in 1905. A fire destroyed much of the park in 1963, but it came back as strong as ever. The park finally closed in 1985, but the carousel
still spins for visitors as
it has for 85 years.
In the photo at right, from June 2, 1942, mechanics who had just finished the annual inspection and repairs to the Paragon Park roller coaster gave it the first ride of the 1942 season.
Because of World War II
and its blackout
restrictions, blue cellophane had to be put over all the white lights on the park rides and the lights on Nantasket Avenue had to be painted black. All traffic had to be kept off the roads after dark for rider safety.

Councilor Statement: My past years on the executive board of the Colorado ACS have been personally rewarding and have allowed me to interact and work with many of our members from other institutions, industry and government labs. I intend to continue in my position as Councilor for the Colorado Section (2017-2019) and to continue my activities in Washington D.C., with Local Section Affairs Chemistry (LSAC). I think that local section programming is essential to the sustainability of the Section and we must continue to draw not only ACS members, but other members of the community to our meetings. This means that we want to plan a variety of topics ranging from new findings in chemical research, legislative advocacy, history of chemistry and new and long-range aspects of employment, chemistry in the lenvironment, primary through higher education and the like. As Chair I will attempt to enlist more members in volunteer activities as advocates for the ACS to our local congressional delegation and as speakers to local lay groups on the necessity for additional Federal and private sector funding for science research and education. Our continuing challenge is the fact that our section membership covers the entire state meaning that we have to sponsor one or two meetings per year outside the Front Range in order to maintain personal contact and planning possibilities where travel considerations become a major issue.

At the National Water Quality Laboratory in Denver, I developed methods for detection of pharmaceuticals in wastewaters. I also studied bioavailability of metals in streams impacted by mining.
Service in Colorado ACS Offices:
I have been a member of the ACS for nearly 10 years. I have volunteered and participated in the Colorado ACS section for over 2 years. I have assisted local ACS board members in developing the new Colorado ACS logo, attracting new members, and developing an industry networking project.
Related Activities:
I currently volunteer for the Denver Alzheimer's Association and Mountain Peace Shelter. I actively seek opportunities that allow me to contribute to my local community and improve its quality for residents.
Councilor Statement:
As Councilor for the Colorado ACS Section, I will work to improve the section's outreach to local ACS members. I also want to increase the value of the section to ACS members by: 1) hosting industry networking events; 2) improving the visibility of the Colorado section; 3) recruiting new members to expand the ACS network; and 4) representing the section at national ACS meetings. For industry networking events, I would like to plan monthly mixers that allow local ACS members to interact with industry employees in the Denver area. This will create an environment that will allow the exchange of new and exciting chemistry topics and opportunities to connect potential employers with potential employees. The networking events will also help to improve the visibility of the Colorado section and to recruit new members. In addition, I will represent the Colorado section at national ACS meetings where I can advertise the opportunities for involvement with the local section and our positive outreach program.

Related Activities:
ACS member 2008-2009, 2014-present
Reviewer for numerous journals including ACS journals: The Journal of the American Chemical Society, The Journal of Organic Chemistry, and ACS Catalysis.
Councilor Statement:
While I have not served the local ACS office up to this point, I look forward to opportunities to become involved with the local operations of the ACS and learn how we can effectively provide a valuable and recognized service to young chemists. Outside of academia, very few of my colleagues employed in the chemical industry see the value offered by an ACS membership. As an ACS councilor I would work to find ways to improve our outreach and services to the younger generation of chemists. The two main areas where I see the ACS providing guidance at a national and local level are in employment opportunities and communicating scientific understanding to the general population. In regards to employment, I believe that we need to modernize and improve how we train chemist at all degree levels to be productive employees and researchers regardless of their career path. How do we improve our curriculum to achieve this? Secondly, the issue of chemophobia in the general populous is an issue of concern. Our current methods of information dissemination and acquisition do not sufficiently vet information or present accurate ways to analyze what is put in front of our faces. How do we improve public communication about chemistry and science in general to the public without appearing to have our own bias influencing information? These are the areas I would like to work on as an ACS councilor.

Public health advice, including how to stay safe in the aftermath of flooding
The following advice is issued by Canterbury and West Coast Community and Public Health and applies to areas of the West Coast and Canterbury that have been affected by Cyclone Fehi.
Contaminated flood waters
- Three Waters (Buller District Council) advises that they have disinfected any areas where there have been known sewage overflows.
- Nevertheless, avoid contact with flood waters if you can and assume they will be contaminated by sewage.
There is also is the danger of trauma from floating objects and hazards hidden below the surface. Until power lines have been fully restored there may be a heightened danger of electrocution.
- If you do come into contact with flood waters, change out of any wet clothes and shoes and put them aside to be washed later. Wash skin that has come into contact with flood waters, and your hands as soon as you reasonably can - or use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser.
Further advice on managing safely post-flooding can be found here.
Drinking water
- Three Waters also advise that they are confident that mains water supplies are safe, with Punakaiki the only exception currently.
They will advise if that situation changes.
- A boil water notice remains in place for Punakaiki and there is still the potential for new ones to be put in place. A boil water notice means you need to boil or treat all water from taps / tankers before drinking, brushing teeth or using in food preparation.
- Bringing water to a rolling boil is sufficient to kill bugs.
- Water that is visibly clear can be made safe to drink by adding half a teaspoon of a standard (unscented) bleach such as Clorox or Janola to 2 litres of water.
- If you don't have mains water and you think it has been affected by surface run-off, don't use it for drinking purposes. If it appears clear but you are still unsure, it can be made safe by boiling or adding bleach as above.
Other relevant health advice follows.
- If you have lost power at some stage, avoid opening your fridge and freezers unnecessarily. If frozen food has been defrosted but has been kept chilled, it should be used soon - as if it had been bought fresh.
- Do not refreeze high risk items such as meat, fish and poultry. If you think these high risk items may have been at room temperature for two or more hours, do not eat them – if it doubt, throw it out.
- Any food stuffs which were not stored in a waterproof container and anything in bottles and jars with crown caps that has been under flood water should be discarded.
More general health and wellbeing
- Continue to check on neighbours and vulnerable people near where you live as long as the disruption caused by the weather lasts. Check they have supplies including their medications and share with them the advice on food storage and use above.
- If you need to see a GP and have trouble getting there, phone them for advice. Even if they are closed your call will be answered by a trained registered nurse who can advise you on what to do.
In an emergency, always ring 111.
- If you require essential prescription medications and your supply is running low, call your normal GP number for advice.
Stay ready and informed
- Check and restock your emergency kit, ready for future events.
To check what you may need, visit How To Get Ready > Emergency Items
