For Kids ‘Blue’ Looks At Female Law Enforcement Pioneers “Women in Blue” by Cheryl Mullenbach; ©2016, Chicago Review Press; 229 pages ——— BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The law’s the law. You’ve known practically since you were born that rules were not made to be broken; in fact, they were made for a reason — even when it’s hard to make them stick. That’s especially true now, just as it was and a hundred years ago or more, and in the book “Women in Blue” by Cheryl Mullenbach, you’ll read about pioneers who helped enforcement. Police in petticoats. That doesn’t seem like it would have much authority, does it? Back in the late 1800s, that was what female police officers were called. They were also called guardettes and copettes before everyone pretty much settled on “matrons,” but no matter what anyone called them, those women did the same work as the men. Sometimes, they did more. Take, for instance, Denver’s first police matron, Sadie Likens. When a young dance hall girl took her own life in despair, the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union became concerned about the lack of support for women and children in the Wild West. It was 1888, and the WCTU convinced the city to appoint someone to create a safety net for those who had none. Likens was their woman. But it wasn’t easy for her. Though people loved her and she did the job she was hired to do (as well as cleaning, cooking for male officers, party-planning, and jail-tending), she became innocently embroiled in a scandal that threatened to spoil everything. In the early 1900s, Los Angeles had their “City Mother’s Bureau” to keep teenagers out of trouble. It was backed by “wealthy society ladies” and run by Althea Gilbert, who started out taking care of women prisoners but who knew that juveniles needed a “second chance,” too. In 1912, New York’s Isabella Goodwin went undercover to solve crime, doing the work of a detective but without the title or salary. Moira Smith lost her life on September 11, 2001, while helping people to safety. And Chicago’s first policewoman, Grace Wilson, was also the city’s first African American policewoman in 1918. Mention police officers to a preteen, and she may conjure up an image of an officer in a patrol car or walking a beat. “Women in Blue” will change that perception, and then change it again. Unless your family includes a long line of law enforcers, it may come as a surprise for your child to learn about “matrons” in the Wild West, early forensics practitioners, or undercover officers in the Jazz Age, but author Cheryl Mullenbach tells those stories well. Young readers will also be thrilled by accounts from women who were jailed in facilities meant for men, and by African American voices from Jim Crow years. These and other stories and sidebars span three centuries, and Mullenbach helpfully includes resources so your child can learn more. For an adult, this book is a quick, worthwhile read but it’s really meant more for kids 12 and up. If there’s a young crime fighter, lawmaker or future patrolwoman in your family, “Women in Blue” will be quite arresting. South Dakota Reports First Zika Virus Infection PIERRE, S.D. – South Dakota has its first Zika virus infection, a woman who traveled to a country where Zika virus is currently transmitted and later developed symptoms, the Department of Health said today. The infection was confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “This is a good reminder for anyone who travels to Zika-affected areas that it’s important to protect themselves from mosquito bites,” said Dr. Lon Kightlinger, state epidemiologist for the department. Zika is a tropical mosquito-borne infection. The virus is not known to be carried by the mosquitoes found in South Dakota. For most healthy adults the infection is mild and only one in five people who are infected will become ill. Symptoms typically occur two to seven days after a bite and include fever, muscle or eye pain and a rash. However, pregnant women who are infected run the risk of delivering babies born with the birth defect microcephaly. Babies with the defect have heads smaller than ex- pected and often have smaller brains that might not have developed properly. Pregnant women should avoid traveling to countries with active transmission of Zika, including Miami-Dade County in Florida. Men who live in or have visited Zika transmission areas should abstain from unprotected sex. Individuals who do travel to a Zika-affected area and become ill within two weeks should see their doctor. Pregnant women who travel to Zika transmission areas should be tested two to 12 weeks after their return, whether they are sick or not. There are no vaccines or treatment for the virus. To avoid infection travelers to Zika-affected areas, particularly pregnant women, should follow strict mosquito control precautions – wear pants and long-sleeved shirts, use an EPA-registered insect repellent and ensure that windows and doors have intact screens.

Strengthening South Dakota’s response to current and emerging public health threats is one objective of the Department of Health’s 2015-2020 strategic plan, http://doh. sd.gov/strategicplan.

(StatePoint) Social media has changed the rules of privacy for almost everyone. But for people diagnosed with cancer, social media use comes with the additional complications of online disclosure, which can have unintended consequences. As part of their annual survey, Cancer and Careers, a national nonprofit that empowers and educates people with cancer to thrive in their workplaces, polled survivors on their experiences with disclosing their cancer online. Nearly one in five cancer survivors polled said that revealing their cancer diagnosis on social media negatively impacted their careers, and one in 10 said they experienced repercussions at work because of their disclosure; but 77 percent of respondents who posted about cancer or disclosed their diagnosis online felt supported by friends and family or found a support group as a result. Please note sample size varied; for more information on the study methodology view the infographic here: bit.ly/2bNKanA. As with any aspect of the cancer journey, the decision to disclose, whether online or in-person, is a personal one based on a variety of factors. For more information on Cancer and Careers’ expert resources, interactive tools and educational events visit CancerandCareers.org. If you have cancer or are a cancer survivor, learning more about the possible consequences of online disclosure can help you make decisions that are right for you.
