Traveler's Clinic services include required and recommended travel immunizations, such as yellow fever, hepatitis A & B, and polio, plus international health information, preventive medications and up-to-date travel alerts identified by the Centers for Disease Control.

The most commonly administered vaccines include:
The Traveler's Clinic also offers routine vaccinations if you are not up-to-date on your immunizations. These include measles, mumps, rubella; and diphtheria/tetanus (within 10 years). Seasonal influenza shots and H1N1 and pneumonia vaccines may also be recommended.
Some travel immunizations require a series of shots that may take as long as a month to six weeks to complete. If you don't have that time to spare, many required vaccinations can be put on an accelerated schedule to accommodate last-minute travel plans. For more information about international travel immunizations and vaccines, please visit www.cdc.gov.

In these cases appointments are typically made for the same or next business day.
If illness develops during your trip or after your return home, New Pueblo Medicine patients can been seen promptly in our Traveler's Clinic for post-travel diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. If you are not a New Pueblo Medicine patient we can send the notes from your Traveler's Clinic appointment to your personal physician to ensure your continuity of care if post-travel follow-up is required.
Most health insurance companies do not provide coverage for international travel medicine and immunizations. We suggest you contact your insurance company if you have questions about your policy's coverage.
Based on a 2011 price comparison survey, our consultation fee of $40 is the lowest in Pima County. If you'd like specific costs for Traveler's Clinic immunizations and related services, please call us at 520-901-1550. We will be happy to provide prices and details.

Are you ready for a fun-filled adventure? one that can boggle your mind and flare up your frustrations! Are you ready to team up with your friends and put your collective minds together and attempt to escape a locked room in under an hour? If your feeling up for a fun date night or a good time with your friends , you need to check out Escape Miramichi! A place where you can work together with your closest friends and co-workers to race against the clock and out your minds together and escape one of the 4 rooms!
I had the pleasure of meeting Kim H ,Jacqueline P and Samantha F. the masterminds behind Escape Miramichi for an interview with Modern-typewriter!
Since the announcement of Escape Miramichi last year, I heard nothing but good things from co-workers and friends about how exciting and thrilling it is to participate in one of the rooms held at Escape Miramichi. I was shocked when I asked the group how Escape Miramichi was created and founded and was immediately impressed by the determination of these women to keep their organizations alive.
Kim H: "In 2014, a group of non profits got together and formed Change Miramichi, 5 organizations that are working together to raise funds to help each other in their efforts. When we began fundraising, we wanted to do something bigger! What we ended up with was Miramichi Escape! The five groups tallied their resources, took the money we made for the first year we were together and we opened Escape Miramichi. So the 5 organizations are running the escape room plus our own non for profits at the same time."
I would like to take a moment to include that Non-Profit organizations are the back bone in a structural society. Many non-profit organizations are run by a committee of people who are simply trying to improve the life of the community around them and sacrifice a lot of time and devotion to aid the community. In Canada alone, non-profit organizations employ over 2 million people. I asked Kim what were the five non-for profit organizations that ran Escape Miramichi
Kim H: "Volunteer Miramichi, Camp Sheldrake, Miramichi Youth House, Glenelg Youth Alliance and the Miramichi SPCA"
Inspired by their admiration and devotion to the community of miramichi. I sat back and listened to what these women had to say about their organizations outside of Escape Miramichi.
Since 2014, Kim H has been working with Change Miramichi; A collective group of non-profit organizations who have joined together to raise funds and promote positive change within the Miramichi. Jacqueline P works on behalf of Camp Sheldrake ; A non-profit camp that runs eight weekly programs through July and August for children and youth from ages of 8-17 and provides the youth of Miramichi memorable experiences in camping! Samantha F works on behalf of the Miramichi Youth House; A positive environment that assist at risk youth. Allowing the youth to grow up in a stable and healthy environment.
Unfortunately the other two women were not able to attend the interview but I was able to find out who they were and their roles in the community. Karen A runs the Glenelg Youth Alliance and Jennifer A who runs the local S.P.C.A; A private and independent non-profit organization that provides a safe and nurturing environment to stray animals.
These five organizations are working tirelessly together to keep their own organizations afloat. With a 20 dollar entry fee per person, each ticket sold at Escape Miramichi is actually benefiting own community by providing funding to these five non for profit organizations.
With collective minds, the group of women have done extensive research in other escape rooms in places like Fredericton and Moncton to help inspire their creativity in creating an escaped room. I asked Kim how many escape rooms were available to participate in
Kim H: "Right now we have 4 rooms running plus we have a mobile unit that we can take to festivals and events! Each room is an hour-long and the mobile room is 15 minutes."
With the Tall-ship festival over the past weekend here in Miramichi, The girls created a pirate themed escape room!
Kim: "Our newest room is pirates treasure that we opened up last weekend during the Tall ship Festival. We have Virus, Cabin Fever and Down the rabbit hole. Down The Rabbit Hole is our longest running room and is probably going to be the next one we will close."
I asked Kim what "Down the Rabbit Hole was about?"
Kim H: "Your essentially Alice in wonderland!, and your going down the rabbit hole and its all Alice and wonderland themes with the tea party and everything!"
Samantha went onto explain the next room called Virus!
Samantha: "Virus is about, the city of Miramichi has been taken over by a virus and your objective is to find the antidote!. So you have to put different chemical components together to find the solution that is ultimately going to save yourself and your friends!"
The Last room is entitled "Cabin Fever"
Kim H: "Cabin fever; your essentially in the mountains and in a cabin and there's an avalanche and your stuck in the cabin! so you have to figure out where you are so you can radio for help.."
Samantha F: "It's based around coordinated and survival!"
The Girls expressed interest in generation 2 to include and Host Birthday Parties and to create a kid friendly room!
I was provided with statistical evidence on the rate of escape for each room.
Sam: " Virus would have a 32% escape rate…Cabin would have a 30% escape rate..Down the Rabbit hole has a 46% rate and Pirate treasure is too new to figure out!
The Girls were confident that I wouldn't be able to figure out how to escape or leak clues when I started exploring each room and I have to say, They were right!
Kim H: "You can walk into the room and you're not going to figure out 1 thing!, the rooms are very bare you really have to think
Samantha F: "The Game is really focused on critical thinking and working as a team"
Jacqueline P: "It's risk taking! When you go into the room, you really have no clue what to do, there's no starting point!"
Creating a room can be very difficult and challenging, Kim added a humorous note when asked how a room was created
Kim H: "I always say, oh my god, a bunch of middle age women working together creating escape rooms! how did this happen?"
After a shared laugh, she continued to explain the process of creating an escape room!
Kim H: "When it comes to themes, we build the room around the props that are available. "
Although Escape Miramichi is a fun-filled adventure, there have been incidents where participants have been rowdy and asked to leave
Samantha F: "One issue we have run into is people being destructive to the rooms, tearing down the walls, I don't know if when there in there and the frustration is mounting and they can't escape on their own and they figure they are going to deconstruct the room to escape!"It's not survival, it's about critical thinking!
Kim also added that during the clean up of each room, One item is almost always found.
Kim H: " When they are going into the room to reset them, they often find hair clips or bobby pins on the floor to pick the locks! We ask participants not to do that because it takes away from the fun of the game and also could potentially damage the props as well!"
Escape Miramichi has a promotion right now until August 10th where you can purchase 3 tickets and receive a fourth for free!
Escape Miramichi is an amazing night of fun-filled adventure! so get your friends together and attempt to beat the clock and escape one of the 4 rooms! and remember with every ticket purchased, you are helping your local non-profit organizations that keep our city and our communities alive.
I would like to thank Kim H, Samantha F and Jacqueline P for sitting down with Modern typewriter and expressing interest in the article!
Thank You

If you are considering ending your relationship but are unsure about starting a divorce immediately or in the near future, but want to sort out and define the arrangements for your finances and children, you may wish to consider a Separation Agreement.
The agreement can specify what has been agreed you will receive from your husband/wife or partner regarding income, maintenance or financial support for the children. It will also specify how any property, savings, assets or pensions will be divided to give you peace of mind.
The advantages of a separation agreement is that they are flexible and anything you agree together can be included so you both have certainty as to where you stand legally. A Separation Agreement can only be drawn up if you and your husband/wife or partner agree about the terms to be included.
We have a team of specialists who can advise you about the right agreement for your situation and guide you through the process to ensure you are protected.
If terms have not quite been agreed, we can still assist you to negotiate the terms of a Separation Agreement but if this additional work is necessary the cost of negotiating a Separation Agreement would be charged on an hourly rate basis.
Wolferstans has a specialist domestic abuse team who are experienced in dealing with injunctions and other work necessary to protect victims of domestic abuse.
Domestic abuse can be both physical and emotional and can happen in any relationship regardless of age, sex, race, wealth or sexuality. Domestic abuse is not just physical abuse. It can also include:
- Mental and emotional abuse
- Threats and harassment
- Financial abuse
- Controlling behaviour
- Sexual abuse
- Abuse of children
For more information please click on the sections below:
Victims are often unaware that they are in an abusive relationship. Even once people recognise that they are a victim they then may not know who to turn to.
The law provides a variety of remedies to protect victims of domestic abuse. Victims should not delay in seeking help, support and advice. The following protection orders are available:
Non-Molestation Order
Molestation Order will normally remain in place for between six and twelve months.
Occupation Order
This determines who should occupy the family home. It can prevent one party from returning to a property once they have left or it can require someone to leave the property within a certain timescale and prevent them from returning thereafter. The Order can also exclude them from a certain distance around the property. A power of arrest is not automatically attached to an Occupation Order can be if the court considers it necessary. An application for an Occupation Order is normally made with notice to the Respondent because it deals with who is allowed to occupy the home.
Prevention from Harassment Order
This civil injunction prohibits behaviour that constitutes harassment or is behaviour that is causing distress to the victim. It is often used where there is no relationship between the parties. Again, it can include a power of arrest and such an Order can be made without notice to the perpetrator.
If you do not wish to seek the protection of a Court injunction, you may just ask for a warning letter to be sent to the perpetrator advising them that if they do not cease their behaviour then an application to the Court for an injunction will be necessary.
This may resolve matters without the need to attend Court.
Clients are often worried about the cost of going to Court. Although eligibility for Legal Aid has been vastly reduced, the majority of victims of domestic abuse will qualify.
We will undertake an assessment of your means and Legal Aid can be granted to you on an emergency basis if the application to the Court is necessary. If you are not eligible for Legal Aid then we can advise you as to the likely costs of sending a warning letter or making an application to Court and it may be that a fixed fee can be agreed.

There are many parents in the UK who can not care for their children.
This can be for a variety of reasons, e.g.
- They have a learning difficulty
- They are in prison
- They have issues relating to drug and/or alcohol use
- They have mental health difficulties
- They have physical disabilities/illness

It is very common for grandparents to step in when the parents are unable to care for their children.
We have a specialist team of lawyers able to advise about these issues:
A Child Arrangement Order is a Court Order made in the Family Court which says who a child is to live with and what contact they should have with other people.
Before 22nd April 2014 the Court would make Residence and Contact Orders but they can no longer do so and these orders are now Child Arrangement Orders.
Residence and Contact Orders made before 22nd April 2014 are still effective but no new orders will be made.
Who can apply for a child arrangement order?
The following people can make an application to the Family Court for a Child Arrangement Order:-
- The child's parents
- Anyone with whom the child has lived for at least 3 of the past 5 years
- Anyone who has Parental Responsibility for the child
- A Guardian who has been appointed under the will of someone
- Anyone who has permission of the Court to make the application
How to apply for a child arrangement order.
- The application is made on a Court form called a C100 if there are no proceedings already before the Court in relation to the child
- If there are ongoing proceedings already before the Court the application is made on a form called a C2
- If you need to apply to the Court first for permission to make an application that should be made on a form called a C2
- There is a Court fee to pay when you make the application
- The application and Court fee has to be sent to the Family Court
What happens when the application is made?
- The Court will list the application for a hearing
- Before the first hearing someone from CAFCASS will telephone all of the parties to the application to hear their views about the application
- CAFCASS will prepare a letter for the Court to recommend how the application should be dealt with
- At the first Court hearing the Court will decide if any more information is needed (perhaps from CAFCASS or Social Services)
- The Court will then list it for a further hearing
- If the case is not agreed the Court will list it for a contested hearing to decide if the order should be made once all of the information is available
What is the effect of a child arrangement order?
- If there were previously any orders relating to the child they will be replaced by the new order
- The Child Arrangement Order will set out what the arrangements are for the child
How long does a child arrangement order last?
- A Child Arrangement Order lasts until the child is 16 unless the Family Court makes another order before then
If you are caring for your grandchild you may be able to get some financial support.
Child Benefit
Anyone who is caring for a child long term can receive Child benefit for the child although if your income is above a certain level you may have to re-pay it at the end of the tax year.
Welfare Benefits
You may be eligible for Welfare benefits including Income Support and tax credits.
Financial Support from the Child's Parents
You may be able to get some financial support from the child's parents. This could be by way of an informal agreement between the family members. If it is an informal agreement it can be however you want it to be. It may be a lump sum, weekly or monthly payments or through contributions such as clothing or school trips. If it can be agreed between the family that is the best way to deal with it.
If you can not agree it between yourselves the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) can help. CMS took over from the Child Support Agency (CSA) in November 2013. Although the CSA is still dealing with their existing cases they have not taken on any new cases since November 2013.
The CMS can assist by calculating how much is due and then the payments are made direct from the parents to you. If you are having difficulty in getting the money from the parents the CMS can help by getting the money paid to them which they then pay to you. They can also help with enforcement if the money is not paid. The CMS encourage families to sort out the payments between themselves where possible.

Financial Support from Social Services
If you apply for a Special Guardianship Order Social Services have to consider what support services you need. This includes financial support which is means tested. Usually any financial support offered by Social Services is time limited. It is usually reviewed after 2 years.
Parental Responsibility means all the rights, duties, powers, responsibilities and authority, which by law a parent of a child has in relation to the child or his property.
A person with Parental Responsibility for a child is able to make decisions on behalf of the child. Where more than one person has Parental Responsibility usually decisions can be make by just one of them. Major decisions should be made in consultation with each other.
Who has Parental Responsibility?
- A natural mother automatically has Parental Responsibility upon the birth of the child
- Where the natural parents are married, either at the time of the birth or subsequently, the father has Parental Responsibility shared with the mother
- For children born before 1st December 2003 an unmarried father can get Parental Responsibility either by entering into a Parental Responsibility Agreement with the mother or by a Court Order
- The law changed on 1st December 2003 to make it easier for unmarried father's to have Parental Responsibility. For children born after 1st December 2003 an unmarried father has Parental Responsibility for the child if he is named as the child's father on the child's birth certificate
- The Local Authority has Parental Responsibility once an Emergency Protection Order, Interim Care Order or Care Order is made. The Local Authority will then share Parental Responsibility with the mother and the father if he had Parental Responsibility before the Order was made
- A Special Guardian has Parental Responsibility

- The parents' Parental Responsibility is limited if a Special Guardianship Order is made
- The Court can make an order to remove Parental Responsibility in exceptional circumstances
A Special Guardianship Order is a Court Order which appoints one or more people to be a child's Special Guardian.

If you are not planning to get married but would like to protect your position in the event that your relationship breaks down, then you should consider entering into a Living Together Agreement.
If you live with your partner but are unmarried, then no matter how long you have been together and whether or not you have children, you do not have the same rights as married couples and you may have little legal protection if you split up. Most couples who live together do not have a written agreement setting out what should happen if they separate but virtually all of them should.
We have a team of specialists who can advise you about the right agreement for your situation and guide you through the process to ensure you are protected.
For more information please contact
Prenuptial Agreements set out what you and your future husband/wife or civil partner agree should happen to your finances if your marriage/civil partnership breaks down.
Pre nuptial agreements can help to protect pre marriage assets, inheritance and existing family commitments such as responsibilities to children from a previous relationship.
If you and your partner are considering entering into a Prenuptial Agreement it is essential that:-
- Each party has their own independent legal advice.
- There is complete disclosure of each parties finances.
- It is completed in good time before the wedding (at least 2 months if possible).
- There has been no pressure to enter into the agreement.
Prenuptial Agreements are particularly relevant where:-
- Either party has been married before.
- There are inherited assets that you wish to protect from a divorce settlement.
- You are bringing into the marriage more assets than your partner.
- There is a business or business assets that you wish to protect.
- Pensions built up before the marriage need to be protected.
- There are overseas assets or you are a non UK resident.

Pre-nuptial agreements are not strictly binding on the court in the event of a later divorce, but it is likely that a pre-nuptial will be respected by the court unless the effect of the agreement would be unfair.
It is not possible in this country to have a fully binding agreement before marriage or civil partnership about what will happen on divorce or dissolution. In other countries, pre-nuptials are often binding.
In order to do the best job of ensuring that the court will not consider the agreement to be unfair if it is necessary to rely on it, both of you will need to set out your financial circumstances in full and take independent legal advice on the agreement and its effects. You can negotiate an agreement using mediation or collaborative law, or more traditionally by using solicitors to talk to each other on your instructions. Your family lawyer will help you find the process most suitable for you.
It is good practice to get the agreement finalised in good time before the wedding or civil partnership ceremony so that neither or you feels undue pressure to agree to anything.
Agreements are generally less likely to be considered to be unfair if they are recent or if circumstances have not changed since and if both people knew exactly what they were getting into when the agreement was made, both legally and financially, without any undue pressure being applied.
It is possible that the court might uphold part of an agreement while considering a different part to have an unfair effect.
A pre-nuptial is a bespoke document drawn up for the two of you for your particular circumstances, so it can cover almost anything you want it to.
There are certain things that couples usually think about when deciding how they would want to work things out if the marriage does not work:
- What would happen to property either of you brought into the marriage?
- What would happen to the family home?
- What would happen to any property given to you or inherited during the marriage or any income or assets derived from trusts?
- What would happen to money held in joint accounts and any property purchased jointly?
- What would happen to any saved money earned during the marriage?
- What would happen to your pensions?
- How would you deal with any debts?
- Would either of you pay or receive any maintenance and, if so, for how long?
- What kinds of events might require the agreement to be reviewed?
- What would happen to property either of you brought into the marriage?
- What would happen to the family home?
- What would happen to any property given to you or inherited during the marriage or any income or assets derived from trusts?
- What would happen to money held in joint accounts and any property purchased jointly?
- What would happen to any saved money earned during the marriage?
- What would happen to your pensions?
- How would you deal with any debts?
- Would either of you pay or receive any maintenance and, if so, for how long?
- What kinds of events might require the agreement to be reviewed?
A pre-nup cannot prejudice the interests of any children in your family.
It is usual to build in provision for a review of the agreement if and when you have children, so that the children's needs can be considered and assessed at that time, with possible changes made to any expectations of the adults.
In the event of a divorce, if the court is asked to intervene in financial arrangements its first consideration is always the children involved. If the court considers that any agreement of the adults may adversely affect their children, e.g. by restricting any expectations of a lifestyle they would otherwise have had, it is likely to consider that it is not fair to uphold the agreement in the circumstances. It is not possible to contract out of giving financial support to or for a child.
In the Collaborative Law process both parties have lawyers who are specially trained in the collaborative law process at their side throughout the entire process and benefit from immediate legal advice as the matter progresses.
The majority of the case is conducted by the lawyers and the parties around a series of face to face meetings together around a table in what is referred to as a 'four-way meeting' in order to resolve their differences without the need for expensive and emotionally damaging Court proceedings. The lawyers also have in interest in the process, because if the case does not settle, the lawyer cannot continue to represent the Client in any subsequent Court proceedings.
Within Collaborative Law the emphasis is for all those involved, both parties and lawyers, to problem solve rather than fight to win. An integral part of the collaborative law process is that the parties and lawyers all sign and agree to be open, honest and disclose all documents involved. All participants agree to act respectfully towards each other and look to the future rather than apportioning blame in the past.
- One of the biggest differences in the Collaborative Law process compared to going to Court is that the parties are in control of the agenda and the process and decide what is discussed and when.
- It avoids the uncertainty of litigation and the scope for settlement is wider.
- It is often quicker and more flexible and matters are normally determined within 3 to 5 sessions.
- Other professionals can become involved in the process if needed, including family consultants, financial planners, and accountants.
- It reduces the emotional strain on the family and protects children from the dispute.
- The parties it recognises emotional issues exist that cannot be addressed by the legal system, which can then be addressed.
- Often children become the unintended victims in divorce proceedings. They internalise the conflict and often blame themselves for the break-up of the family. Within the Collaborative Law process it is possible to require a specialist to help reduce the impact of divorce on children. The specialist would also assist the children involved by explaining that their parents' separating is not their fault.
In order to utilise the Collaborative Law process, both lawyers have to have to been specially trained.
At Wolferstans, Phil Thorneycroft has been trained in collaborative law for over 10 years and has a huge experience of settling cases utilising the process.

The law for unmarried couples going through a separation is entirely different to those who are married.
If you're thinking about cohabiting or buying a property together you should take advice from one of our specialist solicitors about how to protect your position in case your relationship later breaks down.
If your relationship has broken down and you do not have an agreement in place you may need our help. There are no legal processes to go down but there is a possibility that you will need help with sorting out the ownership of the property you both live in, savings, debt and arrangements if any children are involved.

Hourly Rates
We will act for you throughout the Court proceedings and you pay us an hourly rate. Therefore the cost will depend on how much time the matter takes. We offer various hourly rates depending on the level of experience of the person who is doing the work. VAT is added to the hourly rate. You will be asked to pay an amount up front before the work starts. You will then be billed on a monthly basis.
Some clients prefer to pay on an hourly rate basis because they know that they are paying for work actually done on their matter.
Price Certainty Agreements
We offer a Price Certainty payment option. Under this option we will find out from you what the case is about and once we know what is likely to be needed we will offer you a fixed price for each stage of the case. This price is fixed and will not go up or down depending on the work done. We will make it clear to you before you enter into our Price Certainty Agreement what is and is not included and when the money will be due.
Some clients prefer the certainty of knowing how much each stage is going to cost to allow them to budget for the work which we do for you.

Media: from the "Age of Scarcity" to the "Age of Abundance"
"Do you have more media options and outlets at your disposal today than you did 5 to 10 years ago?," asks Tech Central Station. There was a day, about the time that AOL and Time Warner joined forces, when it was predicted that the consolidation of media corporations would result in an Orwellian world where information would be surveyed and controlled by one large company. This is all but true today. "With traditional media operators and industries (books, magazines, newspapers, television, radio, CDs, etc.) experiencing rapidly declining audience share thanks to substitution by new forms of digital media (Internet, blogging, mobile devices, DVDs, video games, i-Pods, satellite radio, etc.), we can be sure that the media environment five years from now will look radically different than it does today." Many larger companies, once thought to threaten democracy, are struggling to find new business models and diversify into new media forms in order to stay alive in today's world of "information overload" in which "the question of who owns what or how much they own is irrelevant." Of course, this contradicts the vision of our last posting on the AP which was predicted to be one of the two news organizations left standing. It also opposes the apocalyptic view that many have of Google, which has overwhelmingly been declared a media company (former posting and New York Times article) and that continues to spew out innovations that make one wonder just how far it will push the media market.
