RO water update
by Jayne Stratton 22 Sep '25

22 Sep '25

Good morning, everyone, I heard from the service provider that a new control board for the RO system has been located out of California. The order was placed Friday afternoon but it is not certain if it shipped out on Friday. Hopefully it will arrive today or tomorrow.

Inspired by travels with family and friends, Valery transforms photographs into paintings that invite a deeper, more personal reflection. Each piece requires careful attention to detail, reconnecting her with the memories of a specific time and place. Marbles, with their bold and brilliant colors, are treasures in their own right and reflect her fascination with vibrant hues. Likewise, the luminous array of colors found in flowers continues to bring her immense joy—an energy that shines throughout this collection. Valery Wachter is a dedicated member of the Lincoln arts community. She has served on the Friends of UNL Art Department board, MEDICI, the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts Alumni Board and the selection committee for the Mayor’s Arts Awards. She is represented by the Burkholder Project Gallery and is a founding and current member of the Bryan Health Art Committee. Valery holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. Her work is included in private collections across the country and her sculpture Nebraska Wildflowers is permanently installed on the Bryan East Campus.

RO water down - do not use autoclaves or glassware washers!
by Jayne Stratton 17 Sep '25

17 Sep '25

I was just informed that the RO water system is down in the building, which means that autoclaves and glassware washers cannot be used at this time. The service provider is working with Nebraska Nova on getting parts to repair the unit. Please plan on not using the autoclaves or washers starting now through Friday morning. By Friday morning we will know if the parts have been procured and repairs are underway. I will send another note updating everyone as to the status of the RO unit. Dr. Hallen-Adams has a small autoclave in the third floor autoclave room that she has said people can use for small loads that does not require the RO system. Please contact her if you would like to use it.
