This department cooperates with Doug Schnoebelen, Paul Van Dorpe of the University of Iowa, Chad Fields of Iowa State Department of Natural Resources, Iowa Health Institute, and private excavator Shawver Well Company. The team received funds from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to determine if arsenic contaminated wells are concentrated in specific areas of the county. After that, the team collects data from about 70 wells twice a year. We examined the pH, dissolved oxygen, oxidation-reduction potential, sulfide, total arsenic, arsenic form of each well, and some other ingredients that could affect arsenic content in each well. The team also analyzed the debris samples from all new wells. Half of all the private wells tested contained arsenic in detectable levels of water, but the third well contained an insecure level of arsenic (> 10 ppb).

My second job is TGIFridays in Iowa City. I have been waiting for four years to attend the university of Iowa University. All the advice I receive is not publicity this time, but it will remind me of my immediate value. As a four-year waiter, I learned more about that service and what high school and college courses I have learned. When I started my 13th year class, the big message I sent to my students was obviously personal success, not value. We value emphasis on grades, SAT scores, and university admission, but what is most important to them is their personal record, is it really because of our students? What are the opportunities to make them valuable on ordinary school days? In addition to working hours per week on Saturday, when they challenge them to contribute beyond themselves to the community?
