PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

by Jim Siddall

During the last year I have had many discussions with members, across the state, who are concerned about the decrease in attendance at district and chapter meetings. Most have attributed the decline in attendance to Covid. But Covid is pretty much over, and we still have low attendance at our meetings. Fortunately, it appears that attendance at the Regional School is beginning to pick up. I have heard numerous reasons for not attending meetings and here are a few.

• They don’t know where or when the meeting is being held.

• They didn’t know about the meeting soon enough.

• They are too busy with other commitments.

• They think the meetings are too time-consuming or boring.

• They don’t think the meeting topic is relevant to them.

• The meeting sites are too far away, inconvenient, or inaccessible.

• They think important issues have already been decided before the meeting.

• They don’t like some of the people in the group.

• They don’t think it makes any difference whether they attend or not.

• They would rather renew hours at schools or online.

District and Regional leaders can do a lot to increase and maintain good attendance.

First, Districts, Regional Schools and chapters need to be sure that they have done everything they can to respond to the reasons why people do not attend meetings. At your next meeting take some time to ask the members what improvements they would like to be made.

Next, leaders need to be aware of why people join TWUA and what they expect from their local District, Regional School, or Chapter. People join groups for lots of reasons. Most join to gain new skills, gain training credits or renewal hours, build their careers, create professional and personal networks, find new friends and acquaintances with similar interests, and experience new things. For new members, joining a TWUA district may be an introduction to a new career and the opportunity to gain credibility by improving their license level. Find out through discussions and short surveys what your members want from their membership in the association.

Many members have described not only a decrease in attendance but also, they worry about the lack of participation. If we are going to have a thriving organization, we will need leaders at the local level. The TWUA office in Hutto can establish guidelines for governance and oversite for the districts. But you, the members of the local district control the direction and administration. In my discussions with members concerned about the decline in attendance and participation, several ideas were suggested. Your district could try some of the ideas listed below. Many of these would make good committee goals.

Get the word out early and more than one time. Most of us need to hear things three or more times before we remember the message. Early means two weeks prior to District and Chapter meetings, three to six months prior to Regional Schools.

Get the word out in different ways. Go beyond postcards and newsletters. Use e-mail, texts, and internet opportunities, but don’t neglect printed materials. Colored paper, interesting graphics and unusual packaging get extra attention. Make a telephone call. Divide up your member list between the board

members and have them call each member. Call representatives from one or more cities or utilities before each meeting. People are more likely to come if they are asked individually. Communicate how important their presence is every time your chapter meets.

Get as many people involved as possible. Ask them to help, don’t wait for them to volunteer. Assign different people to present committee reports. Ask a new member to help with set-up or refreshments. Put someone in charge of greeting people as they arrive and another in charge of distributing handouts. Make it hard for people to miss meetings.

Don’t forget to plan interesting meetings. People can tell how much effort you put into planning. Topics must be relevant and present useful information. Not every session will appeal to every member but try to meet the needs of most of your members.

Be sure your presenters are effective speakers and educators. Choose people with not only good messages, but also the ability to communicate that information in a group setting. Set up the room so that everyone can see and hear. Tell the presenter as much as you can about the experience and interests of your group. Ask the presenter for an outline if possible and remind them that they have a time limit. The test of a good presenter is to find out if people feel more informed or motivated after participating in the session. Make sure that the presenter knows that the program cannot be a “sales pitch.” Members want to see new ideas and comparisons in the latest technologies not a sales presentation.

Stick to the published agenda and timeline for your meeting. People may be reluctant to attend if the meeting always runs overtime. Use every minute wisely. Each member should leave the meeting feeling like it was time well spent and they gained some new bit of knowledge.

Try meeting in different locations and at different times. If members are spread out geographically or have trouble with meeting times, you may have to alternate periodically to give everyone a chance to attend. Be sure and give lots of notice of changes. Call individual members or utilities to let them know you are changing meeting arrangements so that they can be included.

Add some fun and social time. If people join groups to find others of similar interests, set aside time for members to in-

teract. Have some prize drawings. This month’s winner must bring the prize for the next meeting. Recognize good attendance by giving awards. Give other awards for volunteer service.

Have an open house each year and encourage members to bring guests. Consider having at least one social event for members and their families. Take a field trip or have a joint meeting with a nearby district. Break away from the usual agenda. Make members feel like they are really missing something when they are absent.

Make it everybody’s business to build attendance. Make sure members know the value of their chapter membership. Remind them of the renewal hours they can receive.

Hold a short brainstorming session at one of your business meetings to generate ideas. Form a short-term task group to plan an event or some meeting-building activities.

Many of us have worked on “autopilot” for the last few years and allowed our meetings to become stale and predictable. Maybe some new ideas will improve our districts, thereby improving TWUA.

If you have ideas for improvement, send them to me – email 1jsiddall1@att.net – and I will try to get them to all the districts and regions. We will be meeting in June at the mid-year Board meeting and if you can get your suggestions in before then, we can discuss them at the meeting.

Hope to see you at one (or more) of our Regional Schools soon. Start making your plans to attend now. Our next events are in Abilene May 9th – 11th, or Arlington May 15th – 19th, and don’t forget the Annual School in Corpus Christi September 18 – 21. Join, Register Early, Save Money!

by Russell Hamilton, TWUA Executive Director

Father, we bow our heads in respect and respectfully say thank you, as we acknowledge that you are the creator. We take comfort in knowing that You remain in charge and control of life as we understand it. We need You, and we welcome You in all we do. We come into Your presence seeking Your grace, calm, guidance, and forgiveness. Father, we pray for Your mercy and grace, and we ask that You guide, direct, protect, and bless TWUA and its members. Father, we thank you for your forgiveness as we offer praise in the name of Jesus. Amen

The drought is still concerning in parts of Texas. In West Texas, Lake Spence is sitting at 17.0 % (- 0.5 %). White River is sitting at 11.5 % (-1.1 %). Panhandle - Lake Meredith is sitting at 29.8 % (- 0.4 %), and Greenbelt is at 11.4 % (- 0.1 %). If you want a complete look at current lake levels, go to waterdatafortexas.org. The drought has never left for some.

The population of Texas is now exceeding 30 million, and the question everyone should be asking is, what is being done to secure potable water for our future? Can you name the latest water reservoir to be constructed? What is brackish water? What is reclaimed water?

Annual School – the 105th Annual School will remain in Corpus Christi. The dates are September 18th – 21st, 2023. Not sure at this point the specifics on how the 105th will be celebrated, but please, make plans now to come and be a part of this historic accomplishment. Registration is now open for the host hotel (Omni) and class registration.

Mark your calendar for the 2023 Regional opportunities

– Abilene will be May 9th – 11th2023. Arlington will be May 15th – 19th, 2023. Killeen will be June 6th – 8th. 2023. San Marcos will be July 11th – 13th, 2023. Longview will be August 28th – 31st, 2023. Fort Stockton will be August 14th – 17th, 2023. Lubbock will be November 7th – 9th, 2023. The entire regional calendar and links to all the fliers will be activated as soon as possible, so you can register for any region now, using budgets more efficiently.

Abilene, Arlington, Killeen, and the TWUA Training Calendar – What do these items share? May 9th, the Central Texas Region (Abilene) kicks off the upcoming Regional School in-person training for TWUA. Then May 15th, the North Texas (Arlington) Region will host their Regional School. If the May regional events are not a good fit for you, how about Central Texas (Killeen) the week of June 6th. Fliers and registration information are available on the TWUA.org website.

There has been “life” in the TWUA Regional Events, and it has been good to see familiar faces and welcome new operators to the TWUA Regional Training events. The TWUA Regional officers and TWUA Management thank you for your support and participation. We recognize that you have a choice when it comes to training, and we thank you for supporting TWUA.

Designate A Testing Location – TCEQ requires that after an applicant receives approval or a conditional approval letter to challenge a state exam, you MUST go back to the TCEQ website and Designate a Testing Location. There is significant confusion among those desiring to test at a TWUA Regional event regarding this final step. To be clear, a person cannot simply bring the TCEQ approval letter and sign up or register on-site and be approved to test. TCEQ asks for 30 days’ notice related to the application approval and designating testing location. (does not typically take the entire 30 days) This updated TCEQ policy is tied to Criminal History/Background checks. Under the old system (where staff took exam applications onsite and simply did not issue a license if there was an issue) at the West Texas Region alone, there would be 80+ attendees who challenged the D Water alone. Under the new system, Amarillo had a total of 20. Beaumont had a total of 19. Abilene had a total of 15. Cannot tell you how many thought they were approved to test but turned away because they did not designate a testing location.

Computer Upgrades – TWUA Central Office and our I.T. folks (Leon) have been busy with a migration of a new database and operational interfaces. The process has hit a few bumps, but we are plugging through, and the association will end up with a system that will serve our current and future needs. For those who have registered for training classes, thank you for your patience and understanding. For those unaware of the changes

and upgrades, take a look and understand that this is a work in progress, and it will only get better.

Should you experience problems, PLEASE call Central Office for assistance – at 888-367-8982. Our goal is to provide 3 to 4 online training opportunities each week and support in-person events around the state.

District Meeting Attendance – TWUA maintains that the monthly district meeting concept is the best way to obtain renewal hours and build contacts. Sharing information and problem-solving can easily happen in this monthly meeting format. How long has it been since you attended a monthly district meeting? As the commercial used to say, “Well partner, that’s too long.”

The Story (Poem) Goes Something Like This –

Don’t Quit – Edward A. Guest

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and debts are high, And you want to Smile but have to sigh.

When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns, As everyone of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won if he’d stuck it out, Don’t give up though the pace seems slow, You might succeed with another blow.

Often the struggler has given up, When he might captured the victor’s cup. And he learned too late, when the night slipped down, How close he was to the golden crown,

Success is failure turned inside out, The silver tint of clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar, So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit, It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.

Stay Safe, and Remember – we do not need all the operators in Texas to be a member of TWUA – JUST YOU

IS TIME RUNNING OUT ON WORKPLACE SAFETY?

How safe is the workplace these days? We don’t really know, since given the nature of the federal government’s data-crunching capabilities, it’ll take another year for us to get the statistics on workplace incidents in 2022. But we do finally know how safe the workplace was at U.S.-based employers in 2021, but there’s not much good news in the numbers:

• Nonfatal injuries and illnesses were down in 2021 by 1.8% over 2020.

• Fatal work injuries were up by 8.9% year-over-year.

• The impact of COVID-19 on the workplace in 20202021 was significant but exactly how significant is not yet known.

According to the  U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), 5,190 people died on the job in 2021, compared to 4,764 in 2020. Also, while total workplace injuries and illnesses dropped somewhat year-over-year, the number of injuries actually increased by 6.3% (2.2 million injury cases in 2021 vs. 2.1 million in 2020). Offsetting the increase in injuries is that illnesses—in particular, respiratory illnesses—dropped by 32.9%.

Of course, the most obvious reason for all of this is COVID-19. In 2020, people stopped going into the office or the factory or schools or stores or anywhere else for many months, but in 2021 “work from home” protocols shifted to “return to work,” which meant there were more people back at the factories, facilities and offices where they could potentially be injured. And by 2021, vaccinations, masks and social distancing had greatly reduced COVID’s impact, resulting in far fewer infections and respiratory illnesses on the job.

As COVID became less of a workplace issue, the old familiar hazards unfortunately came back to bedevil workers. Truck and delivery drivers had the most fatal accidents in 2021, as fatalities increased by 16.3% over 2020. In fact, transportation incidents were the most frequent type of fatal event, according to the BLS, accounting for nearly four out of 10 (38.2%) work-related deaths, or 1,982. Construction and extraction occupations were the second-most deadly occupation in terms of numbers of fatalities. Falls, slips and trips accounted for 850 workplace deaths.

However, the BLS also measures something it calls the fatal occupational injury rate, which is the number of fatalities per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers. On

Safer workplaces seem to be more of a mirage than a reality.

Dave Blanchard

that basis, the most dangerous occupation in the U.S. actually isn’t truck drivers (which had a rate of 28.8), but rather logging workers (with a rate of 82.2). Fishing and hunting workers were the second-most dangerous occupation, based on a fatality rate of 75.2.

In any event, the nearly 9% increase in workplace fatalities “serves as a call to action for OSHA, employers and other stakeholders to redouble our collective efforts to make our nation’s workplaces safer,” said Doug Parker, the U.S. Labor Department’s assistant secretary for occupational safety and health. Parker in particular pointed to a disproportionately higher number of fatalities among Black and Latino workers as “deeply troubling facts.” While the overall fatal occupational injury rate of 3.6 fatalities per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers is the highest since 2016, the rate for Latino workers is 4.5 and for Black workers it’s 12.6—an all-time high.

“It’s so important to understand how societal issues such as racism and systemic inequities can undermine workplace safety and disenfranchise workers,” noted Christine Sullivan, president of the American Society of Safety

Professionals (ASSP). “Organizational improvement occurs when diversity, equity and inclusion are embedded components of a business strategy.”

“The [BLS] data indicate workplaces have become less safe, and it is heartbreaking,” added Lorraine Martin, president and CEO of the National Safety Council (NSC). Both Martin and Sullivan noted that with the availability of new safety technologies and various health-focused initiatives, employers have numerous ways to keep their workers out of harm’s way. But the evidence doesn’t indicate things are getting any better; if anything, they seem to be getting worse. And the real question is: why? We’ll be devoting the next year’s worth of articles and commentaries on trying to answer that question.

One last note: In 2020, according to the BLS, a worker died every 111 minutes from a work-related injury. In 2021, the frequency increased by an alarming 10 minutes, with a worker dying every 101 minutes from an occupational injury. The clock is most assuredly ticking on making the workplace safer, and time is not on our side.

Manage Stress to Avoid Burnout

By Lauren Walker, GovLoop

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines burnout as “a syndrome … resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.”

It’s a significant hazard for the government workforce 52% of public sector employees report feeling burned out at work, compared to 45% in the private sector. A third are planning to leave their jobs within the next 12 months.

Two keynote speakers at GovLoop’s NextGen Summit offered advice on how to avoid, and recover from, burnout, based on their expert research — and also on personal experience.

Stress is more than an emotional reaction — it has real physical consequences. Julian Reeve, former musical director for Broadway shows including “Hamilton” and now a burnout and stress management consultant and coach, learned that the hard way, when he suffered a heart attack at the relatively young age of 43.

Frieda Edgette, Senior Executive Service Leading EDGE Faculty Chair at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, shared her own story of stress-induced illness: an eating disorder. Like Reeve, she turned to studying the psychology of stress and burnout as part of her response.

Reeve pointed out that high achievers are especially prone to stress because of their own ambition and perfectionism. “High achievers love stress,” he said. “We love it because it makes us feel successful and accomplished.” That sets off a vicious cycle, as accomplishment leads to more work, which leads to more stress. Eventually, the stress leads to burnout.

Burnout’s Three Symptoms — and How to Combat Them

WHO’s definition of burnout cites three symptoms. Edgette recommended a specific “antidote” to each:

• Energy depletion.  Edgette’s antidote to the exhaustion that typifies burnout is to meet your own basic needs. “And when I say, basic, I mean  basic,” Edgette emphasized. “If you’re hungry, eat. If you’re lonely, reach out. Text a friend; call a trusted ally. If you’re tired, sleep.”

• Cynicism. “Focus on bright spots,” Edgette said. “Our brains are actually predisposed toward the negative,” so it can help to actively focus on the positive. She suggested the “ Three Good Things” exercise — recording three good things that happen each day.

• Reduced professional efficacy. The key here, according to Edgette, is to restore your sense of agency. “Don’t despair that what you do doesn’t matter,” she said. Focus on your role in the organizational mission and vision and recognize the impact of your labor.

Four Steps to Manage Stress

For Reeve, avoiding burnout means managing stress through developing four key skills:

• Self-awareness.  “Ask super basic simple questions: What am I thinking? What am I feeling? What am I sensing?” he said. When what you’re feeling is stress, awareness gives you the opportunity to do something about it.

• Self-care. In Reeve’s definition, self-care is

“about rewiring you to prioritize you.” Beyond the basics of taking physical care of yourself, it’s giving yourself permission to change and try new ways to address stressful situations, including reframing success. “A big part of managing stress and burnout is understanding [that] the journey to the result may be even more important than the result itself,” he said.

• Self-compassion. This is the not-so-simple art of being as kind to yourself as you would be to a friend. “It’s taking the wonderful compassion that we can feel for other people, and turning it on to ourselves,” Reeve said.

• Self-respect.  Self-respect involves setting boundaries and living up to your own values, according to Reeve. “We need to know what they are, we need to commit to them, and we need to stick to them.”

Just Say “No”

“Self-respect is so important because at some point we have to draw the line,” Reeve said. “Ultimately we need to learn to say ‘no.’”

If you’re not quite comfortable with “no” Edgette suggested that you at least “ban the blanket ‘yes’. “When the requests come in, try a conditional ‘yes.’”

What’s a conditional ‘yes’? According to Edgette, it means “‘I’ll take that meeting if instead of an hour, it’s 30 minutes’ or ‘if it’s a walking meeting and we get out of the Teams/Zoom world.’”

“There are a million ways to say ‘no,’” Reeve agreed. “We just need to find the language and have the self-respect to say it.”

TCEQ Occupational Licensing Exams are Going Paperless!

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality’s Occupational Licensing section has been diligently working on revising and converting all licensing exams from paper to computer-based testing (CBT).

We are pleased to announce that beginning September 1, 2022, all TCEQ administered exams will be available at approved CBT centers. TCEQ will no longer conduct paper exam sessions, with exceptions for Americans with Disabilities Act requests.

The only two exams not offered via CBT are the OSSF Site Evaluator and the Landscape Irrigator exams, which are currently being administered by the Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX).

CYBERSECURITY

5G IS PROMISING, BUT WILL 6G BE EVEN MORE REMARKABLE? COULD IT BE A WORLD-CHANGING TECHNOLOGY? WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

by Wanda Venter

5G is the fifth generation of cellular wireless network technology and was developed to accommodate the exponentially growing demands for mobile data from consumers and industrial users. To meet this growing demand of mobile data, research had to be done to develop a new technology solution. Therefore, 5G was developed to accommodate this growing demand. This generation is a game changer in the market and will drive our world into a new era of technology. However, 6G is already in development and is expected to be available in 2030. This network type will significantly improve the weaknesses and limitations of 5G. What will be the difference between 5G and 6G? What impact will it have on us?

What is 5G?

5G promises much faster data download and upload speeds, constant connectivity, increased reliability, and low latency rates (the time it takes for a signal to travel from one point over a network connection, measured in milliseconds), which can enhance and increase the use of mobile technologies for consumers and businesses. Lower latency will enable faster

transmission of larger data streams. In addition, more reliability with 5G will provide better data transmission, and an increase in flexibility will support a wider range of devices, sensors, and wearables.

5G supports more interconnected devices, allowing for long battery device life. Also, 5G technologies could integrate and advance Internet of Things (IoT) systems, artificial intelligence, big data, data analytics and enable the use of advanced technologies while supporting digital transformation across various sectors, from autonomous vehicles to industrial automation. 5G will enable a fully mobile and connected society and expand all emerging technologies, transforming the world.

What is 6G?

6G is the sixth generation of cellular wireless network technology that will succeed 5G. It is expected to have much faster speeds than its predecessor. In addition, due to its wider range of spectrum usage, it will provide better coverage and improved reliability. As a result, it will allow for more users

to access the network at once, and use more data-intensive applications such as streaming video and virtual reality. The introduction of 6G networks also brings advancements in IoT devices, such as smart home appliances and connected cars that rely on low-latency connections for optimal performance. With this new technology, users can expect an even more seamless experience when using these devices due to 6G’s ability to handle more data simultaneously without sacrificing speed or reliability.

6G is set to revolutionize healthcare through remote surgery and telehealth applications, and drive digitization initiatives in sectors such as finance and retail. In short, anything that you use a network connection for right now will be greatly improved on a 6G network.

Differences between 5G and 6G?

5G and 6G networks offer lower latency than 4G LTE. However, 6G offers an even shorter response time due to its utilization of higher frequency bands on the wireless spectrum, allowing quicker transmission times between devices over a network connection. 6G is set to transform the telecom industry further and will overcome the technical limits of 5G. It will bring about many advantages over 5G. There are many differences between these two technologies, but the most apparent distinction between 6G and 5G will be speed and latency

How will this technology impact us?

The possibilities are promising for 5G and are exponentially greater with 6G. Both will be significant technological advancements in the IT and consumer markets worldwide. Furthermore, the IoT will explode and increase its implementation. 5G will enable a better interconnection of devices, providing more data to excel in tracking and analyzing information. Similarly, virtual reality can have more devices interconnecting for a more remarkable group or community experience.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) could expand into other profound areas, like using robots with more capabilities in different industries. In addition, other technologies, like drones, could connect to the 5G network, enabling a worldwide boom in drone use in other areas, like disaster recovery or research. In short, all emerging technologies will be impacted by 5G and 6G, from Big data to Block chain to autonomous vehicles.

From the consumer’s point of view, IoT and 5G will spur many other anticipated developments that will directly impact individuals, like autonomous cars, remote surgery, virtual reality films, car-to-car communication, mobile wearables, and smart cities. For example, 5G will allow a driver’s vehicle to mimic the effect of specific factors, such as a high number

of speed humps near the driver’s home, and foretell the need for maintenance on the suspension before the problem causes damage. Also, more devices will be able to connect to this technology, which enables them to transfer data at a much faster speed. So, humans can receive a lot more information but also send out more information at a much faster speed.

Together with the faster speed, more stable connections, and higher cellular redundancy, 5G will make people’s lives more convenient. Eventually, 5G is expected to impact not only how humans communicate but also communication between humans and devices and among devices themselves. So, 5G can better connect everything with everything and anyone. Overall, the scope of 5G is remarkable, and it will open up the world to a new dimension.

Today, there are many connected devices worldwide. These can range from existing technology like smartphones or smartwatches, to fridges, cars, and even smartclothing. Some of these technologies will require significant data to be transferred back and forth, while others might need less. 5G, the fifth generation of cellular wireless network technology, can understand and recognize this and allocate bandwidth to each respectively, without putting unnecessary strain on individual connection points.

Moreover, the availability of fast, wireless connections everywhere will likely add more IoT devices in more areas of people’s lives, like their homes, offices, public buildings, and streets. The IoT will make people’s lives more convenient, but it could make people dependent on these devices. In addition, 6G will open up a future where technology will play an even more pivotal role in our human world.

W ith Micro - Solve® microorganisms multiply. This reduces the grease that binds wipes together. Micro - Solve® reduces the risk of contact with disease.

Wipes when flushed and combined with other products and grease that is poured down drains, create "fatbergs". Once they enter the sewer lines, they can accumulate and cause backups, damaging the city's infrastructure.
