IMLAY CITY — First
they learned, then they
served. Now, they have a
new place of honor.
On June 16, at the
Imlay City All-Class
Reunion, a refurbished
Wall of Honor was revealed.
Four panels feature the
names of those Imlay City
alumni who have served in
the armed forces.
Supt. Dr. Stu Cameron
announced the new Wall of
Honor will be displayed in
the main hallway above the
class composite pictures.
On hand for the cere-
mony was Mitchell Jones,
the original creator of the
Wall of Honor. He devel-
oped the concept and cre-

of his Eagle Scout project

IMLAY CITY — First,
he gained the title of foot-

Tresnak can claim to be
Imlay City School’s newest
full-time staff member. At
Monday’s school board
meeting, members voted to
hire Tresnak as a U.S.
History and English teacher
at the high school.
Most recently, Tresnak
was a teacher and elemen-
tary principal in Dryden.
Last month, he was hired as
Imlay City’s new varsity
football coach.
In addressing the board,
Tresnak said he missed
being in the classroom and
was “over the moon” when
the position became avail-
able in Imlay City.
“I couldn’t be happier
personally or professional-

poet and writer of mine,
Oliver’s connection to and
communion with nature—
an overriding theme in
much of her poetry—is
something I can relate to
deeply.
The
beauty of
her writ-
ing is its
convey-
ance of
the mira-
Observations in ink... cles all
around
Catherine Minolli us.
Oliver
simply observes nature
and shares those observa-
tions. Regardless of one’s
political leanings, religious
beliefs, or socio-economic
status, the constancy of
nature is the same for all.
It’s steady in its cycles
while at the same time
wondrous to the point of
being mind-boggling how
it all works. The inter-con-
nectedness of it all—sun,
moon, water, seed, bug,
beast—is awe-inspiring
and definitely not random.
Add human beings to the
mix and in my mind
you’ve got one big cele-
bratory cocktail of wonder
that can intoxicate even
the grumpiest nonbeliever.
Oliver’s simple obser-
vations of a grasshopper
on the summer day she
jotted them down are like
a concerto in her practiced
hand. Liquid gold flows
from her pen and into my
heart, and before I know
what hit me I’m weeping
while trying to lead the
class.
These tears, like all the
others I’ve ever cried, are
warm and salty, and slide
slowly down my cheeks.
But unlike those I’ve shed
before, they are coming
from a wellspring I didn’t
know still existed. Like a
toddler who’s scared of the

Who is best fit for 31st district senate seat?
Editor’s note: The fol-
lowing was submitted by
State Rep. Gary Glenn
(R-Williams Twp.) Glenn is
the chairman of House
Energy Policy Committee,
and a candidate for the
31st District State Senate
seat which covers Bay,
Tuscola and Lapeer coun-
ties.
W hen the campaign
began for the state
Senate seat representing
Bay, Lapeer, and Tuscola
counties, I was honored to
receive Sen. Mike Green’s
support and thought
there’d be three major
issues:
*My opposition to the
retiree pension tax, and
Rep. Daley’s vote in favor
of that tax.
*My leadership in the
campaign against Proposal
1, the $2 billion roads tax
increase rejected by 85
percent of voters in May
2015, and Daley’s vote and
public comments in favor
of that tax.
*My A+ grade and
endorsement by the
National Rifle Association
in 2016, and the B-minus
Daley received from NRA,
without endorsement,
when he ran against Sen.
Green.
A new issue has
emerged that’s maybe
more important: is our
state Senate seat for sale to
monopoly utility bosses?
All those ads praising
Daley or attacking me are
paid for by Consumers
Energy and/or DTE using
corporate funds they take
from our electricity bills to
finance multiple “dark

Less lemons, dear
Reader? Enough zesting
for a lifetime? What was I
thinking four summers
ago?
In this kitchen, there’s
no such thing as a retired
zester—my trusty
Microplane with a razor-
sharp stainless steel blade.

one with more words, will

money” front groups locat-
ed at the same street
address near Lansing.
I serve as chairman of the
House Energy Policy
Committee. During my
first term, monopoly utility
bosses tried to eliminate
the Electricity Choice pro-
gram that allows a scant 10
percent of the electricity
generated in Michigan to
be bought from providers
other than Consumers or
DTE, who get the remain-
ing 90 percent of the elec-
tricity market in their ser-
vice areas by law, meaning
most people are forced to
buy from them at higher
cost.
But 90 percent wasn’t
enough. They demanded
100 percent, and I led the
fight that stopped them.
What were the stakes?
Public schools alone have
saved tens of millions of
dollars under the
Electricity Choice program
—over $560,000 in Bay
County, $1.5 million in
Tuscola County, and $2.2
million in Lapeer County.
Those savings would have
ended had I rolled over to
monopoly utility bosses.
Instead, I led the opposi-
tion. If elected to the state
Senate, I’ll continue to
lead.
That’s why they’ve
spent $500,000 so far—
money they take from our
electricity bills—on ads
propping up Daley’s cam-
paign or falsely attacking
me.
Under our current
monopoly system,
Consumers and DTE are
also guaranteed a 10 per-
release party in July, and
I’m also the cook.
Fifty bald lemons later,
I ask you, isn’t it wondrous
how a lemon fits into the
palm of your hand?
Doesn’t matter which end
is up, bloom or stem-nipple
or navel if you prefer ana-
tomical terms. That’s
between you, the lemons,
and zester.
By the way, avoid lem-
ons on steroids. They’re
too big to cradle with your
fingers. After all, the objec-
tive is to relax and zest, lis-
ten to your favorite radio
station, or birdsong, or sing
your own heart out for a
good, long while.
Perhaps you’ll see a
semblance in the zester’s
movement to that of a bow
upon violin strings. The
faster the music’s tempo,
the faster the zesting.
Today while I zested lem-
ons to freeze for ice cream
and scones, WRCJ aired
Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody
on a Theme of Paganini.
Truly, the timeless inter-
lude lifted for the movie
Somewhere in Time is rap-
turous. Again, my skin tin-
gled as naturally as the
taste of lemon causes my
lips to pucker.
My first memory of the
sour flavor of lemons is set
in Detroit’s Edgewater
Park. One of my kinfolk
walked away from a lem-
onade stand with a cup
filled with ice, sugar, and a
lemon sliced in half and
squeezed. One happy lad,
he sucked on the sugary
pulp while we strolled by
the roaring roller coaster
filled with screaming peo-
ple.
Such memories justify
time spent with lemons to
gather folk who’ve guided
me to this remarkable
moment.
Yes, I reckoned wrong
four years ago. I’ve
observed again what I’d
forgotten—the solitary and
communal benefits of zest-
ing lemons.

According to Crain’s
Business Detroit,
Consumers Energy’s PAC
admitted it gave $2,500 to
Kevin Daley’s campaign,
but Consumers also gave
$43.5 million since 2014
to “Citizens for Energizing
Michigan’s Economy”—a
“dark money” front group
run from a law office at
2145 Commons Parkway,
Okemos—which ran ads
opposing Electricity
Choice and is now running
ads attacking me for sup-
porting Electricity Choice,
which they falsely charac-
terize as “outsourcing”
Michigan jobs.
Utility bosses are fund-
ing another “dark money”
front group, the so-called
“Faithful Conservatives for
Michigan,” also located at
2145 Commons Parkway.
Its deceptive ads don’t
mention energy, instead
promoting Kevin Daley or
falsely attacking me.

Charlie and club on immigration
Editor’s note: You may
have noticed that Celery
City Charlie has picked up
his pen again. His column
ran frequently in the Tri-
City Times back in the day,
several decades ago. While
things have changed since
then, Charlie has main-
tained his original person-
na.
D ere Mr. Editer:
The metin of the
Spit & Whittle
Club last Saturday nite was
all about immigration. The
very minute the boys all got
together Will proclaimed
thet Trump were a heartless
bigot fer puttin those kids
in cages and away from
their folks. Thet were like
waving a red flag in front
of a bull. Ray jumped rite
in and sed thet it be a good
thing if’n Will would get
his facts rite for he shot off
his mouth. He asked Will if
he knew thet our govern-
ment was spendin at least a
billion dollars a year provi-
din food and education to
those kids thet come across
the border illegally? Will
allowed as how he doubted
thet were true cause if’n it
were surely MSNBC would
report it. Sam nearly fell
on the floor in laughter at
thet observation. He told
Will thet MSNBC wouldn’t
know the truth if’n it
jumped up and bit-em in
the posterior. He used a
different word Mr. Editer,
but I want to keep things
civilized here.
I asked all the boys if’n
they’d seen the story in
your paper recently bout an
illegal immigrant and how
he was bein sent out of the
country? Truth be told Mr.
Editer I knew they must of
read it cause they all sub-
scribe to, and read, your
paper religiously. Anyhow,
I went on and asked who
was the one person who
was to blame fer thet guy
gittin deported? Before
they could answer I sed the
guy bein deported was to
blame. Not the guvern-
ment; not Trump, not ICE
but the guy who came to
this country illegally, com-
mitted a crime, was deport-
ed and then came back ille-
gally a second time. He put
his family at risk and no
one else. Well, Mr. Editer
thet musta given the boys
sumpthin to chew on as
none of thim had a reply.
Ray thin opined thet he
thinks things are gittin out
of hand in this country.
address: “Save Michigan
Roads,” which promoted
the massive Proposal 1
roads tax that Daley sup-
ported, and “Michigan’s
Voice,” which attacked
Rep. Gary Howell’s cam-
paign in 2016.
Because these most
recent ads don’t expressly
say “vote for” Daley,
they’re legally paid for
with corporate funds, the
money that monopoly utili-
ty bosses take from our
ever-rising electricity bills.
And you wondered why
your electricity bill went
up this past winter.
I believe all electricity
customers should be free
to choose where we buy
electricity, and that cus-
tomer choice and competi-
tion will bring down prices
for all of us.
Utility bosses don’t
like that, since it threatens
their big take. And they’re
spending big bucks
because, based on my track
record, they’re afraid I
might get it done.
Obviously, they’d pre-
fer a state senator instead
they know won’t threaten
their monopoly.
When the smoke
clears, the choice really is
this clear: Kevin Daley and
big money from utility
Whin people who ought to
know better go on the TV
and say anyone who oppos-
es illegal immigrants are
the same as Nazis it is time
for everyone to step back,
take a deep breath and put
their brain in gear before
engaging their mouth.
Somehow so many people
forget, or jist choose to
ignore, illegal immigrants
have broken the law, but I
guess thet doesn’t matter
anymore so long as it’s a
law you don’t like.
Will jumped back in
and sed thet we need to do
the Christian thing and
have compassion fer our
fellow man. He pointed out
thet people tryin to get here
are comin from countries
thet have jist terrible livin
conditions and the Christian
thing would be to take thim
in. Well, Mr. Editer I asked
Will jist how many coun-
tries fit thet description and
jist how many people
should we let in? Or, should
we jist let anyone come and
live here who wants to
without any rules about
who may come? Will didn’t
know the answers, or
couldn’t answer, any of
thim questions. Tom sed we
all want to do the Christian
thing but he was thinkin
our Christian charity can
only go so far and shouldn’t
we be carin fer the folks in
our own country before
those from other countries?
They’re kids in Detroit
without food, proper cloth-
ing, and housing and sepa-
rated from their parents.
Shudn’t they come before
kids from other countries?
It were Tom’s view thet he
doesn’t see people like
Rachel Maddow gettin all
weepy and upset over thim
kids or the ones shot regu-
larly in Chicago.
Sam sed he felt as sorry
as the next guy fer folks in
countries thet have terrible
livin conditions, but thet he
thinks it might be best if’n
they’d stay in their own
country and make it better.
We jist can’t take every
person from every country
thet decides the U.S. is a
better place to live. Ray
and I were agreed with thet.
I then told all the boys
thet it is a shame thet our
guvernment can’t get some
new laws to solve this
problem. But, the
Democrats want the issue
to beat the Republicans
over the head with and to
get new voters and the

bosses scheming to protect
their monopoly power, or
Gary Glenn and big sav-
ings for our public schools,
savings I’ll keep working
to extend to all electricity
customers. I’d appreciate
your vote Aug. 7.
Kevin Daley responds
as follows:
My opponent has
shown time and again that
he will say or do anything
to get attention and get
elected. He’s repeatedly
twisted the truth about my
record, just like he does
again here. But as Ronald
Reagan used to say,
“Facts are stubborn
things.” The reality is that
I did not vote for Proposal
1, I’ve voted to cut taxes
by over $1 billion dollars,
and I’ve been endorsed by
the NRA multiple times.
To be fair, my oppo-
nent has only lived in the
district a few months, hav-
ing moved across district
lines to run for our senate
seat. He thinks that the
way to win elections is by
slash-and-burn dirty poli-
tics. Thankfully, that’s not
how we do things around
here. We’re honest, hard-
working folks who treat
each other with respect.
That’s why I’m running
for the state senate—to
Republican leaders,
beholden to big business
and big donors, want cheap
labor. Put thet all together
in a bowl and you get the
fine kettle of fish we have
right now.
I know Mr. Editer
you’re a smart man. I’d jist
like someone who’s smart-
er thin me explain how let-
ting in hundreds of thou-
sands of illegal aliens from
Mexico and Central
America benefits the work-
ing poor of this country or
helps those out of work get
a good paying job. Maybe

give me part of his knee, so
the doc sliced me up and
made me whole again. I
asked if said dead man was
a pro athlete of any sort, in
hopes that I might turn into
one myself, but the doc
said the chances were pret-
ty slim. Darn.
Regardless, I suddenly
have a whole new appreci-
ation for how strong and
courageous both of you
really are. Over the past
few months, I’ve com-
plained, whined, and been
a general wimp about liv-
ing my life without the full
use of my left leg. How
petty is that? Recently,
though, I’ve decided that I
needed to take a lesson
from both of you, who have
lived lives full of challeng-
es while still giving glory
to God. You two are amaz-
ing, and I hope you don’t
mind if you’re my inspira-
tion as I go through physi-
cal therapy for the next
year.
On that note, I’m going
to need both of you to
dress up as cheerleaders to
help get me through this. I
suppose that could get a
little weird for you, Steve,

pro-family values that our
community holds so dear.
I’m a common sense con-
servative who is pro-life,
pro-gun, and pro-farm. I’ll
work to create better jobs
and higher paychecks by
promoting vocational
training in schools, and by
cutting government red

You can count on me to

host of other conservative
activists in our district.
We’ve had enough dirty
politics in recent years.
What we need now is to
bring more of our home-
town values to Lansing,
not the other way around.
That’s a lesson my oppo-
nent would be wise to
learn. I humbly ask for

that together we can make
Michigan the best place
possible to live, work and

thet. But, my solution
would be to do all the
things Trump campaigned
on. Once that was done
then I’d figure out how to
help the Dreamers and get
a work visa program.
When I told the boys
thet, Sam sed it made too
much sense for Congress to
pass. It won’t pass anythin

mon sense. On thet point
all the boys were agreed
and I thought it were a
good time to adjourn the

Seriously, though, I
miss both of you. As soon
as I’m a little more capa-
ble of traveling, I would
like to bring my girlfriend,
Jenny, across the state to
meet you! We’d love to
throw you into the truck,
Missy (gently, of course),
and take you out to dinner
and a movie. Don’t worry,
Steve, we’ll do something
with you too. (We just
haven’t figured out what
yet...)
I love you both, and I
can’t wait to see you!

PS: I asked Missy and
Steve if I could use this in
the column. I didn’t ask
Mike, but I figure if it’s
been in my basement for
this long it’s fair game.
(He’s now 31, he’s been
married to Jenny for three
years, and they expect to
present us with Grandchild

learned all those lessons on

you for letting me share

Scott’s spring
sales rebound
By Maria Brown
mbrown@pageone-inc.com
IMLAY TWP. —
Blame it on the rain, sleet
and snow. Hyponex’s par-
ent company, The Scotts
Miracle-Gro Company
said that their second quar-
ter sales were down by
seven percent because of
the wintry weather that
persisted into spring but
eventually, the seasons and
sales saw a quick turn-
around.
Last week, the compa-
ny announced that con-
sumer purchases of its
lawn and garden products
hit a record $565 million in
May, resulting in the near
full recovery of the decline
reported through the first
seven months of the fiscal
year.
“The recovery in our
U.S. Consumer business in
May speaks to the strength
of our brands, the resil-
ience of the lawn and gar-
den category and the con-
outstanding work of our
associates, who understood
that the delay to the start of
our season was simply that
- a delay. We are cautiously
optimistic that consumer
purchases will finish the
year in positive territory
but we’re extremely
pleased with the underly-
ing strength of this busi-
ness even if we fall short of
that goal.
As a result of that
recent news, the company
updated their financial out-
look for 2018 and now
expects reported full-year
sales to be within a range
of flat to 2 percent higher
than year-ago levels com-
pared with a previous range
of 2 to 4 percent growth.
Earlier this year, Scotts
Miracle-Gro reported sec-
ond quarter sales of $1.01
billion, down 7 percent
from $1.08 billion a year
earlier. U.S. Consumer
segment sales declined 6
percent to $920.2 million.
The Hyponex facility

ers and our retail partners,”
said Jim Hagedorn, chair-
man and CEO.

assessment of our source water in 2015 to determine the susceptibility or the relative potential of contamination. The
susceptibility rating is on a seven-tiered scale from “very-low” to “very-high” based on geologic sensitivity, well
construction, and water chemistry and contamination sources. The susceptibility of our source are as follows:
Well #1 is moderate
Well #3 is moderate
Well #4 is moderately low
Well #6 is moderately low
Well #7 is moderately low

There are no significant sources of contamination in our water supply. We are making efforts to protect our
sources by participating in the wellhead protection program.
If you would like to know more about the report, please contact Greg Smith, DPW Director at the Village office
131 N. Main, Capac, MI, 48014.
• Contaminants and their presence in water: Drinking Water, including bottled water, may reasonably be
expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not
necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health
effects can be obtained by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

• Vulnerability of sub-populations: Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water
than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemo-
therapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune systems dis-
orders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice
about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the
risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking
Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

• Sources of drinking water: The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers,
lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. Our water comes from wells. As water travels over the
surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioac-
tive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

• Contaminants that may be present in source water include:

Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants,
septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.
Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban
stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farm-
ing.
Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture and residential
uses.
Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production
and mining activities.
Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by- * Chlorine was calculated using the running annual average.
products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban ** 90 percent of the samples collected were at or below the level reported for our water.
stormwater runoff, and septic systems. *** Unregulated contaminants are those for which EPA has not established drinking water standards. Monitoring
helps EPA to determine where certain contaminants occur and whether it needs to regulate those contaminants.

Water Quality Data

The table below lists all the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the 2016 calendar year. The
presence of these contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Unless
otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done January 1 – December 31, 2016. The State
allows us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contami-
nants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. All of the data is representative of the water quality,
but some are more than one year old.

Terms and abbreviations used below:

• Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there
is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
• Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water.
MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
• Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL): The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water.
There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
• Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG): means the level of a drinking water disinfectant below
which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants
to control microbial contaminants.
• N/A: Not applicable ND: not detectable at testing limit ppb: parts per billion or micrograms per liter ppm:
parts per million or milligrams per liter pCi/l: picocuries per liter (a measure of radioactivity).
• Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other require-
ments that a water system must follow.
• Level 1 Assessment: A study of the water supply to identify potential problems and determine (if possible) why
1 E. coli MCL violation occurs if: (1) routine and repeat samples total coliform-positive and either is E. coli-
positive, or (2) supply fails to take all required repeat samples following E. coli-positive routine sample, or (3)
supply fails to analyze total coliform-positive repeat sample for E. coli.
Monitoring and Reporting to the DEQ Requirements: The State and EPA require us to test our water on a regular
basis to ensure its safety.
We will update this report annually and will keep you informed of any problems that may occur throughout the
year, as they happen. Copies are available on the village website and in the Tri-City Times Newspaper.
We invite public participation in decisions that affect drinking water quality. Meetings are held the first and
third Monday of each month at 7 pm at the Capac American Legion Hall, 115 N. Main St., Capac, MI. For more
information about your water, or the contents of this report, contact Greg Smith, DPW Director at (810)395-4355
from 9 am to 3 pm weekdays]. For more information about safe drinking water, visit the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency at www.epa.gov/safewater/.

VILLAGE OF DRYDEN
2017 Water Quality Report
This report covers the drinking water quality for the village of Dryden for the 2017 calendar year. This
information is a snapshot of the quality of the water that we provided to you in 2017. Included are details about
where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
and state standards.
Your water comes from 2 groundwater wells, each over 96 feet deep. The State performed an assessment of
our source water to determine the susceptibility or the relative potential of contamination. The susceptibility
rating is on a seven-tiered scale from “very-low” to “very­high” based on geologic sensitivity, well construction,
water chemistry and contamination sources. The susceptibility of our source is moderate on well #3. There
has been no assessment performed on well #4 at this time.
There is no significant source of contamination in our water supply since the start-up of the arsenic removal
system in May 2008.
If you would like to know more about the report, please contact James Honnold at 5602 Main Street, Dryden
MI 48428 or by phone at 810-796-2291

• Contaminants and their presence in water: Drinking Water, including bottled water, may reason-
ably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants
does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and
potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

• Vulnerability of sub-populations: Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking

water than the general population. lmmuno­compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergo-
ing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other
immune systems disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These
people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines
on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants
are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

• Sources of drinking water: The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water)
include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. Our water comes from wells. As
water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals
and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of ani-
mals or from human activity.

• Contaminants that may be present in source water include:

* Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment
plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.
* Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result
from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production,
mining or farming.
* Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture and
residential uses.
* Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas pro-
duction and mining activities.
* Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are
by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations,
urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain
contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish
limits for contaminants in bottled water which provide the same protection for public health.
* Chlorine was calculated using the runnmg annual average.
** 90 percent of the samples collected were at or below the level reported for our water.
*** Unregulated contaminants are those for which EPA has not established drinking water standards. Monitoring
helps EPA to determine where certain contaminants occur and whether it needs to regulate those contaminants.
Information about lead: If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for
pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associ-
ated with service lines and home plumbing. The village of Dryden is responsible for providing high quality
drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has
been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 sec-
onds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you
may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can
take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www. epa.gov/safewater/
lead.
Infants and children who drink water containing lead in excess of the action level could experience delays in
their physical or mental development. Children could show slight deficits in attention span and learning abilities.
Adults who drink this water over many years could develop kidney problems or high blood pressure.
*Please note that this lead health effects language was required in our 2016 CCR, which was omitted. We
apologize for not including this information. A copy of the full 2016 report is available on our website at www.
villageofdryden.com or you can request a paper copy by contacting James Honnold, Operator-In-Charge, at
810-796-2291.

Water Quality Data

The table below lists all the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the 2017 calendar year. The
presence of these contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk.
Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done January 1- December 31, 2017. The
State allows us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these
contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. All of the data is representative of the
water quality, but some are more than one year old.
Terms and abbreviations used below:
• Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below
which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
• Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking
water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
• Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL): The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking
water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial
contaminants.
• Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG): means the level of a drinking water disinfec-
tant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of
the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. Monitoring and Reporting to the DEQ Requirements: The State and EPA require us to test our water on a

Rural Lifestyles
Keeping swine healthy
TRI-CITY AREA —
It is important for youth
involved in fair exhibitions
at the local level to under-
stand how to protect the
health of their animals,
safeguard their personal
health, look after the pub-
lic that attends exhibitions
and protect the fair from
the consequences of dis-
ease. County fairs and
jackpot shows bring
together pigs from many
areas and health statuses
and at times disease can
spread quickly when pigs
from different areas are
commingled at events like
these. If illness is a result
of the commingling of
pigs, people can also be at
risk for infection from zoo-
notic diseases. Michigan
State University Extension
recommends taking proper
precautions so that your
pigs will be unaffected or
less affected when they
come into contact with a
disease like swine influen-
za. These precautions can
decrease the clinical signs
(coughing and sneezing)
that pigs express, therefore
better protecting exhibitors
and the public from differ-
ent zoonotic illnesses.
As with any zoonotic
disease there is a concern
that people may become
sick from exposure to pigs
that are carrying viruses
and may be contagious.
Hunt for big trees this summer
TRI-CITY AREA —
Whether you’re out in the
woods or skateboarding
through city streetscapes
this summer, keep your
eyes open - you may spot
one of Michigan’s largest
trees!
The 14th Big Tree Hunt
runs through Sept. 3, 2019.
Started by ReLeaf Michigan
in 1993, it takes place every
two years and helps catalog
the state’s biggest trees.
Your assignment: Seek out
the most majestic trees in
your area and report them,
because tree-spotters can
earn certificates and prizes.
Per contest rules the tree
must be living and accessi-
ble for verification. Tree
size is determined by cir-
cumference (measurement
around trunk). Prizes will
be awarded for the largest
tree found by a Big Tree
Hunter age 16 or older; the
largest tree found by a Big
Tree Hunter age 15 or
younger; the largest White
Pine (Michigan’s State
Tree), any age; the largest
tree found for each county
in Michigan and the tree (of
any species) that is larger
than the current registered
Michigan State Champion.
Please note that trees
already listed in the
Michigan Big Tree Register
are not eligible for prizes.
All participants are invited
to the awards ceremony in
Taking simple precautions
such as washing your
hands and being vigilant
when you observe your
animals can help protect
the health of pigs and peo-
ple. When you come into
contact with animals, it is
important to practice good
hygiene and wash your
hands using soap and
water. If access to soap and
water is limited, using
hand sanitizer can also be
beneficial. Many times,
viruses are transmitted via
oral and nasal mucosa and
expelled when the animal
coughs or sneezes.
Eliminating food and drink
consumption by humans
around animals is a known
method to reduce the trans-
fer of virus. When you see
others eating or drinking in
the exhibition area, be an
advocate of your industry
and politely ask them to
remove food from the area,
as this will help keep the
pigs and people from get-
ting sick.
Swine influenza (SIV)
is a respiratory disease
caused by type A influenza
virus. This zoonotic dis-
ease is contagious among
pigs and according to the
Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention,
some strains have been
reported to infect the
human population, specifi-
cally in Michigan during
late 2019. Details
will be announced
online and on
R e L e a f
Michigan’s
Facebook page.
“This is a real-
ly fun reason to
get out and enjoy
nature,” said
Melinda Jones,
executive director
of ReLeaf
Michigan.
“It also helps
raise awareness
and enjoyment of
the trees in our
landscape.”

Influenza can be character-
ized in swine by clinical
signs such as coughing,
fever, sneezing and lethar-
gic acting animals. Swine
can also be asymptomatic,
which means that you may
not notice that your pig is
sick. This disease typically
runs its course in approxi-
mately three to seven days.
This is why daily
observation of changes in
health status of the swine
exhibited is also important.
