“Education. Donation. Adoption.": The Veterinary Science Club Improves Lives

by Mariel S.

The Veterinary Science Club Logo (The Veterinary Science Club/animaledinformation.com)

The Veterinary Science Club is committed to improving the lives of pets and people through education, donation and adoption.

The club began a recent meeting by welcoming a guest speaker from Marin Humane, a small, rural pet rescue shelter. Club members learned about the shelter’s veterinary capabilities, volunteer opportunities and how the staff are working to better the lives of animals. After the Q&A session, club members discussed raising awareness of shelter pets’ needs, and of their efforts to find them homes.

Mrs. Jennifer Young, the Veterinary Science Club’s founder and advisor, deeply identifies with the club’s mission. “I worked in vet clinics for 15 years before I became a teacher,” she said. “I wish a club like this had been offered when I was in high school.”

Mrs. Young says that from the first meeting last year, students took the lead. Their focus soon shifted from veterinary science to animal rights activism. The club runs animaledinformation.com, a website designed to educate the public about a wide variety of pets, from cats and dogs to chickens and chinchillas. They promote animal charities and have partnered with five shelters across California, including Marin Humane.

Maia M, president of the Veterinary Science Club, spoke with The Voice about how the club created its partnerships. “We decided that we wanted to have a direct part in helping animals, so I tried finding shelters in different regions of California. I sent out fifteen emails and five shelters got back to me. We put them on the website with some of their ‘adoptables.’”

The adoptables are mostly cats and dogs, but one shelter listed a retired racing pigeon. Another of the partner shelters, Muttville, specializes in what Maia called “hospice adoptions” for elderly dogs that other shelters consider too old. Helping these more unusual “adoptables” is part of the Veterinary Science Club’s passion. The members say they’re seeing results.

Maia explained, “The shelters told me how to know which animals had been there the longest. Those are the pets we mainly focus on. I haven’t been directly told that our site helped to get an animal adopted, but almost every day, I switch out animals because they were. Actively helping animals is just a great feeling.”

The club also creates social media posts promoting adoptions, which their partner shelters post. But the members don’t spend all of their time working. They play games, like animal-themed pictionary, and watch videos on the care and keeping of various critters.

Club Vice President Phoenix P, described the atmosphere in their meetings as “really awesome,” and cited a love for animals as the core of the club’s camaraderie. “I’ve kinda just always grown up with animals. My aunt’s a vet tech, and my family has horses. There’s pictures of me on a horse before I could walk! So, animals have always been there in my life.”

Raquel C, an aspiring veterinary technician, said that she joined the Veterinary Science Club because she “wanted to learn, and to meet other students who have the same passion for animals.”

Maia added, “Veterinary Science Club is really the only animal club that our school offers. We have so many opportunities if you want to be actively involved in animal activism, as well as learn more from people experienced in the field. It’s really fun; it’s involved, and I feel we’re really making a difference.”

Nightbitch ('15'): Motherhood's a Bitch.

One Mann's Movies Film Review of "Nightbitch". Comedy/horror for Amy Adams in reverting to a more feral state through parenthood. Not fully satisfying. 3/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Nightbitch” (2024) (From the 2024 London Film Festival). Marielle Heller is a director who has previously given us quirky offerings such as 2018’s “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” and 2019’s “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood“. Here with “Nightbitch” she gives us an equally strange offering that makes some telling points about parenthood, is at times laugh-out-loud…

Worst Opening Titles: 'Superman IV - The Quest for Peace'

The opening credits to “Superman” and “Superman II” are among the best when it comes to movies. When Bryan Singer used this format for his “Superman Returns,” it felt like the return of a friend who had been gone for far too long, and the theme by John Williams is among the finest he has ever composed. But then came “Superman IV: The Quest for Peace,” a sequel which was supposed to put this…

Messiah "Dino" Villareal (Adult, 30-somethingish Grown Ass Man)

Yup, you most certainly read that correctly...Meet Jacques Villareal's eldest son. During one of Jacques' business ventures in Selvadorada 30-something years ago, he met a Selvadoradian young woman by the name of Maríelle. She was beautiful, intelligent, witty, charismatic, and she didn't shy away from his life of crime; a combination that made Jacques weak in the knees. Their connection was magnetic. Although he was currently married to his first wife, things were moving fast between the two & he couldn't let Marielle slip away. She began to assist Jacques as a runner for his "business"...until she became pregnant with Dino.

Not wanting to be apart from one another, Jacques moved his secret family back to Windenburg, literally 15 minutes away from the house he shared with his first wife. Enrolling Dino in the most prestigious private daycare. Everything was going great...until it was time for Dino to enroll in Preschool, Maríelle had found out about Jacques' marriage and arguments ensued. After failing to convince him to leave his wife, she broke the golden rule (don't get high off your own supply)...and became addicted to the powder. Honestly, she was using here-and-there beforehand but nothing too heavily, it worsened when she couldn't convince him to leave his wife.

At that point life took a turn for the worse. Jacques disowned them and left Maríelle to raise their child on her own. Addiction and all. Growing up Dino was a problem child, he stayed in trouble. Which essentially led to him getting involved with the wrong crowd & landed him in prison at the age of 19. After serving his [redacted] year sentence, he was released on good behavior. After his release he moved to Del Sol Valley and attempted to settle down with his on-again-off-again girlfriend (Chana) and they had a daughter together. Things were looking up for these two, he managed to open a few clubs and even proposed to his girl. She said yes! They were engaged for 6 months...until she broke off the engagement. She found out that he fathered another child with Prue (one of the girls at his club)...Honey, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree...

However, one thing that he gets right is being an active/present father. He has two daughters; Amiri (child) and Carina (infant) and two Rottie's (Dinero and Mija). Although he's got a lot on his plate, He's also got his eye on a special someone at the club...I- 😑

Born/Raised: Selvadorada/Windenburg

Aspiration: Villainous Valentine

Ambition(s): Own a Club or Lounge in every major city across Simerica

Traits: Erratic, Romantic, Jealous

Lifestyle(s) in progress: Adrenaline Seeker

Degrees: Graduated from the School of Hard Knocks (IYKYK)

Occupation: Strip Club Owner (The Blue Velvet in Willow Creek, Onyx Del Sol Valley), Co-Owner of Bella's Lounge in Windenburg, Also currently in the process of opening a dispensary in Evergreen Harbor (with his brotha-from-anotha-motha, Knox Greenburg).

If you're wondering, Dino hasn't had contact with his father since he was about 4 (maybe 5ish) and he hasn't met any of Jacques' other children (since they weren't born until years after he was born). Dino is like 6 years older than Hugo, since Hugo's a Young Adult. As for his mother, unfortunately, she passed away while he was in prison. He makes sure to find his way back to Windenburg every year on Mother's Day and her Birthday, just to put fresh flowers on her grave.

Eleventh Atmospheric River Since December Hits California

by Mariel S.

“Rainfall totals exceeding six inches are possible across portions of Central and Northern California through this event.” -Haley Brink, CNN (John Clement Photography)

Most of California remains under high wind advisories, winter storm warnings and flood watches as the 11th atmospheric river since late December, buffeted devastated communities yet again.

The latest flood and weather warnings went into effect on Sunday, March 12th. Weeks of severe weather have already flooded many low-lying regions and buried mountain communities in record snowfalls. The highest elevations in Southern California received up to 10 feet of snow in late February. Governor Gaven Newsom declared a state of emergency in 13 counties.

Heavy snow has collapsed roofs and stranded residents and motorists. Repeated rainfall in the same areas has raised concerns of additional flooding due to snow melt. As of March 14th, over half of the state was under high wind warnings, flood watches and weather advisories.

“Rainfall totals exceeding six inches are possible across portions of Central and Northern California through this event,” reported CNN Meteorologist, Haley Brink.

The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) began releasing water from the main Oroville Dam spillway on March 10th. According to the agency, “to better manage storm runoff entering Lake Oroville.”

DWR director Karla Nemath released a statement on March 3rd, saying that these weather events have had positive effects as well. “The recent storms combined with the January atmospheric rivers, have contributed to an above-average snowpack. That will help fill some of the state’s reservoirs and maximize groundwater recharge efforts.”

Governor Newsom issued an executive order to “enable local water agencies and other water users to capture water…to recharge state groundwater supplies,” according to the Governor’s Office. The CAVA Voice reached out to learn how the recent storms have affected the student body. Of students surveyed, 30% indicated that the storms have impacted their ability to “do school.”

Senior Max R. told The Voice that the storms “took up my weekend to have to deal with flooding. I wasn't able to take a break and my grades have dropped since.”

Student Peyton C. said that the storms “have left my area very cold and wet. My electricity behaved strangely at nighttime. Lights and appliances kept turning off and on. I hoped that the power wouldn’t go out during the day when live classes are happening.”

Senior Luis G. stated that “The recent snow storms have caused my Wi-Fi to exponentially slow down, [along with] multiple technical difficulties…[including] slow response times by K-12 technical support.”

Junior Breanna T. explained that the cold weather impacted her motivation and mental state. “I found it hard to concentrate in class since the cold weather made my mood and energy low, I just wanted to stay in bed,” she said.

As the latest storms tear through California, authorities are warning residents to keep current with alerts, monitor water levels, and to avoid driving in flood-risk areas.
