MASON — MackenzieReilly, a member of the Ma-son Chapter of Future Farm-ers of America, spent partof last Wednesday placingseeds on cotton, which wereput into a glove for safe-keeping until they could beplanted after germinating.

This “A Garden and AGlove” activity was one ofmany hands-on stationsopen to area youngsters atthe March 23 Rural Educa-tion Day, an annual eventsponsored by the InghamCounty Farm Bureau at thecounty fairgrounds.

The annual event giveskids, many of whom aren’texposed to daily farm life,the chance to see how agri-culture works — and wheretheir food comes from.

April Guy and 2-year-oldNolan Guy of Grand Ledgevisited the fairgrounds, get-ting a peek at chicks hatch-ing in an incubator.

“I just want him to knowwhat the animals are and allthat kind of stuff — get thefeel of the farming commu-nity,” April said.

Youngsters could takepart in “Build Your Pizza”by using green buttons forgreen olives and brown but-tons for mushrooms. Theycould walk in underground“tunnels” to learn about thewater cycle and soil and wa-ter conservation.

Visitors also could takehome a white pine seedling,pet a chicken and samplehomemade butter and icecream, among other activi-ties.

Tasting the ice cream was

the best part of the day forIan Buckwalter, a student atImmaculate Heart of Mary-St. Casimir School in Lan-sing.

“Because it’s yummy,” Iansaid.

Mason High School’sMakaylin Hughes showedoff rabbits, explaining tokids what it’s like to showa rabbit, the difference be-tween a buck (male) and adoe (female) and pedigree.

Getting a real feel, literal-ly, for the soft creatures wasthe most popular part of herstation, Hughes noted.

“I’d say they like touch-ing them the most,” Hughessaid.

MASON — A performingstage is a possibility forRayner Park, already hometo a large play structure, anative woodland garden andother amenities.

Mayor Leon Clark andlifelong resident Mark Min-shall are spearheading theeffort to build a performingstage measuring 32 feet by36 feet at the park, locatedon Ash Street by the InghamCounty Fairgrounds.

Clark said the stage, inaddition to being a musicalvenue for the community,would be a way to raisefunds to offset the cost ofpark maintenance.

In 2010 the city enteredinto an agreement with In-gham County in which thecity will pay $1 per yearthrough Dec. 31, 2016 tolease the park.

After meeting the agree-ment’s terms, the city hasthe rights to buy the park for$1. The county earlier hadclosed the park for budgetreasons.

Clark estimated the coun-ty spent $43,000 annually tomaintain the park.

City Administrator Mar-ty Colburn has said no cityfunds will be used for theproject. Clark reiterated thatstatement, adding no time-table has been set.

“It’s all dependent if weget enough donations tobuild the thing becausewe’re not going to use cityfunding,” Clark said.

Clark said the stage willcost $15,000, and it will costbetween $300 and $500 torun electrical service.

So far $5,000 has beenraised, according to Clark,with grants possibly bring-ing that amount to $13,000.

Minshall also has been in-volved in planning the proj-ect.

“I had in mind a ‘Li’l Ab-ner’ type of look,” Minshallsaid.

Minshall said a rusticstructure with sliding doorson the front would fit in wellin the park setting.

The building also couldbe used for winter storage,he said.

Community donationsare being accepted at CityHall, 201 W. Ash St.

MASON — If there’s a wayto upgrade housing stockin an energy-efficiency way,the Ingham County HousingCommission wants to ac-complish that.

Mason and Williamstonare part of the TargetedNeighborhood RehabilitationProgram, administered bythe Michigan State HousingDevelopment Authority, in

which people living in target-ed areas in and by the down-towns can apply for housingfunds. A total of $258,000 hasbeen set aside for the twocities, with the maximum no-interest loan amount set at$35,000, according to BruceJohnston, executive directorof the commission, whospoke to the Mason CityCouncil on March 21.

Half the loan will be for-given if the homeowner livesin the residence for 10 years,

with the remaining amountto be paid back upon a moveor transfer. Residents mustlive in the specified areas,Johnston said. “They reallywant people in these target-ed areas to take advantage ofthese funds,” he said.

Johnston listed a few re-quirements of the program,which include:

• All property taxes are tobe up to date.

• Participants’ annual in-come must be below 80

percent of the area medianincome.

• Participants must pro-vide 25 percent of matchingfunds if required.

Johnston said programguidelines are being puttogether, with “musts” in-volving energy-efficient units.The goal is to save enoughin energy costs to make upthe loan as well as preservehousing stock, he said.

Johnston said interestedMason residents are invited

to an informational meetingat 5:30 p.m. April 4 in the CityHall Community Room, 201W. Ash St. Prequalificationpackets can be taken home.

Williamston residents areinvited to a meeting at 6 p.m.April 11 at the CommunityCenter, 201 School St.

Mason CouncilwomanBarb Tornholm suggestedthat realtors be involved inthe program as they are apart of homeowners’ deci-sions regarding their houses.

Johnston said that sugges-tion would be considered.

Williamston City Manag-er Tim Allard said the pro-gram will involve upgradessuch as new insulation, fur-naces and lead abatement,plus aesthetic improvementssuch as landscaping andpainting.

Allard said the programwill help homes in need ofrepair.

“We’re very excited aboutit,” he said.

Murrissia Hampton, a sixth-grade student at Leslie Middle School, participatesin an activity during Family Language Arts Night.

Christie Bleck

LESLIE — Youngstersand their parents made theirway from station to stationduring the March 10 FamilyLanguage Arts Night at Les-lie Middle School.

The purpose of the eve-ning was to allow studentsto update their vocabularyand language skills, all inthe presence of their par-ents.

“You learn a lot since firstgrade,” said student teacherJoy VanderWeele. “It’s hard

to remember everything.”Stations involved a gram-

mar competition, origamiand the games “Are YouSmarter Than A Fifth Grad-er?” and “Scattergories.”

In the grammar competi-tion, for instance, studentsread a sentence like “Asnow storm prevented usfrom going two skool.” Theythen had to change it tothe correct “A snow stormprevented us from going toschool.”

Another sentence was“A Basketball game startedin my driveway,” which re-

quired making the “b” inbasketball lower case. Theyalso had to underline theprepositional phrase “in mydriveway.”

Murrissia Hampton, astudent in the sixth grade,said she liked the origamithe best because the activ-ity was based on a book.

Angela Williams, the par-ent of an eighth-grader, alsowas happy with the event,even if it was for a differentreason.

“It gets kids out of thehouse and away from thephone,” Williams said.

Mason police reportThese are highlights of

61 reported Mason policeincidents etween March15-21. For the full policereport, go online atwww.InghamCountyCommunityNews.

March 15: Officers weredispatched to a two-unitapartment house for a neigh-bor complaint. The lowerapartment resident com-plained of loud disruptionsand threats made by the up-stairs resident. When offi-cers arrived, they heard aloud bang. Not knowing forsure the source, they pro-ceeded with caution.

As one officer turned thecorner to go around thebuilding, he was confrontedby a male suspect holdinga steak knife in his hand.Once that person was se-cured, the investigation con-tinued. Officers discoveredthe suspect was the upstairsresident who claimed he wascarrying the knife as pro-tection because he fearedhis downstairs neighbor wasmad at him and because hewas contemplating self-in-flicted injury.

The complainant did notwant to prosecute the sus-pect, but because of this in-cident and an incident wherepolice had responded to anassault report where thesame suspect was intoxicat-ed and chasing another man,trying to assault him witha broomstick, officers deter-mined the best course of ac-tion was examination anddetoxification treatment atan area medical facility.

March 16: Officers in-vestigated a domestic as-sault between two Masonresidents that allegedly oc-curred at the complainant’shome. The complainant re-ported arguing with her boy-friend after she announcedtheir breakup. She alleged hebecame violent and pinnedher down, sitting on her ab-domen, then smothering herby placing his hand over herface and cutting off her air.

When she got away, shestated he caught her anddid it a second time. Sheescaped that attack, but al-leged the suspect then gothis arms around her neckand struck her in the face,knocking her unconscious.The boyfriend agreed an as-sault occurred but alleged

the complainant was the at-tacker, and he was onlyacting in self-defense. He al-leged they were arguing andwhen he went to leave, sheslammed the door and bar-ricaded it with her body,blocking his exit. He wenton to say the complainant re-peatedly struck at and strug-gled with him to prevent himfrom using his cellphone tosolicit help.

There were no witnessesto corroborate either ac-counting of the incident andboth suffered injuries, ver-ifying an assault occurred.They were separated fromeach other, and the complet-ed report will be sent to theIngham County prosecutorfor review of charges.

Getting their greensMarch 16: Officers were

dispatched to a parking loton Hull Road were it wasreported a group of youngadults were smoking mari-juana.

The trio was located sit-ting in a car and when the of-

ficer approached, a pipe anda plastic baggy of a greenleafy substance was plainlyseen. The group admittedto smoking the substancebut claimed it was a legalsubstance purchased at abusiness in Holt. They alsodenied it was the recentlybanned substance, K2.

Tests confirmed the sub-stance was not marijuana,but the officers seized it todetermine if it contained anyof the banned substanceslisted in the recent legisla-tion banning K2 and similarproducts used to mimic theeffects of marijuana intoxi-cation. If there are no ille-gal substances present, theitems will be returned tothe owner. While being in-vestigated, one of the triowas found to be wanted inEaton County on a warrantand was arrested and turnedover to state police troop-ers.

March 16: An officer wascontacted by an attendant ofan area service station whoreported finding a $20 billlost by an earlier customer.

The attendant identified thebill’s owner, and the officerwas able to return it.

Sides with MomMarch 16: An officer was

dispatched to a Mason homefor a fight. What he foundwas an upset 11-year-oldmad at her mother for disci-pline concerning the child’sconduct at school. The offi-cer told the complainant heagreed with her mother, andthe matter is closed.

March 18: An officer wasdispatched to a theft of per-sonal property from a motorvehicle that occurred in the500 block of Hull Road. Thevictim reported leaving per-sonal items in the car andentering the building, specif-ically locking the doors. Sheadded, however, there hadbeen a mechanical problemwith the locks, which mightnot have secured properly.Missing are a laptop com-puter, a cellphone, the char-gers, a jacket and a “BellaBong” carrying bag.

March 18: A Mason res-

ident reported being awo-ken by loud noises in theearly morning hours andupon looking out a windowof her residence, witnessedthe suspect and a friend sit-ting inside a vehicle. Some-time later, the witness againlooked out the window tosee the suspect walkingaround and then comingonto her property. She wentoutside to see what he wasdoing, only to find him uri-nating on her lawn. Sheconfronted the suspect whoturned, faced her and re-vealed himself and the facthe was done urinating.

The complainantbelieved this was not an in-tentional exposure incident,but a result of not knowingwhat he was doing broughton by intoxication. The sus-pect was located by an offi-cer and expressed remorsefor his actions. The reportwill be forwarded to the CityAttorney’s Office for reviewof charges.

Found property: Anoth-er bicycle was just found.The department still has

This article is part of an ongoing series written byLeslie Middle School students.

The Bully FactorLeslie Middle School takes bullying very seriously. If

it is caught happening, there are serious consequencesfor the bully. These consequences include suspension ordetention.

Also, counselor Chris Donoghue offers counseling forboth bullies and children who are being bullied. PrincipalCarol Franz and Donoghue visited every class to teach alesson about the issue. This lesson included the definitionof bullying, how to prevent bullying, the consequences ofbullying, and how to react when bullied.

Leslie Middle School’s definition for bullying is: un-wanted, repetitive, and aggressive behavior, such as say-ing mean or unkind things. It also includes laughing atsomeone else’s misfortune, physically harming someoneby pushing, hitting, tripping, bumping, kicking, punchingor throwing objects at someone with bad intentions.

Another way of bullying is gossiping about classmates,or participating in rumors. Name calling, hateful language,mocking or making fun of someone are all types of bully-ing, as well.

Bullying can happen at recess, out of school, at home,at lunchtime, in classes or in between classes. Bullyingcan also take place at public places such as libraries,restaurants or parks.

A way to avoid bullying is to not travel alone. That waya bully is less likely to attack.

Leslie Middle School is trying to stop bullying by mak-ing sure all students understand what bullying is, learnhow best to handle it and learn what can be done toprevent it from happening in the future.

Leslie Middle School computer teacher Myrna Coxonhad her class research and write reports on cyber bully-ing: what it is, how to prevent it and what to do whenit happens. Some of the ways students can help stopbullying are letting school officials know what is goingon, speaking to an adult about it or by informing a staffmember, teacher, parent or the school principal.

When students step up and say something, studiesshow that half of all bullies stop their harmful behavior.Students could also form an anti-bullying society or a typeof watch group to keep an eye out for any bullying. Thisgroup could help stop bullies by telling them with kindwords to stop their bullying habits.

Leslie Middle School took a survey in the fall to get

an initial picture of bullying. As they analyze the datacollected from parents, students and staff, more programswill be implemented to target specific areas of need.

National studies show about 30 percent of studentsare bullied, bully others or do both. That means that 70percent are watching this happen and do not do anythingto stop it. Leslie Middle School is trying to get that 70 per-cent to work together and stand up for the child being bul-lied. “It’s very important that every student here at LeslieMiddle School recognizes their own potential to stop bul-lying,” Donoghue said. “We have awesome students thatare completely capable of helping us end bullying. Ourstudents are not OK with bullying.”

Franz said, “School safety is important so that teacherscan teach and students can learn without distraction.”

Staff members Kathy Dunlap and Andy Paige agreethat bullying is a very serious matter because if it is notstopped right away, it can lead to threats and possibledanger that affect more people.

Franz and Donoghue agreed, saying, “All students atLeslie Middle School have the power to help end bully-ing.”

We are very pleased to provide you with this year’s Annual Quality WaterReport. We want to keep you informed about the excellent water and serviceswe have delivered to you over the past year. Our goal is and always has been,to provide to you a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. Our watersource is obtained from seven wells located within the City. These wells havebeen installed over the years in accordance with the isolation and constructionrequirements of the state regulatory agency (Department of Natural RecoursesEnvironmental). The City’s wells are relatively deep with the water drawn fromthe Saginaw Sandstone Formation except for Well No. 1. The depth of the rock

wells range from 215 feet to 400 feet. There is considerable impermeable material above the water bearingformation at each of these wells, and this protects the quality of the water from surface contaminants.Well No. 1 is quite shallow, and City employees monitor the water from this well closely to make certain allwater quality standards are met.

The City’s water department has completed a wellhead protection plan and continues to work on themanagement of the well head protection areas around the City’s wells.

We have a source water assessment plan available at our office that provides more information such aspotential sources of contamination. Our rating from the DEQ in 2007 for susceptibility is Moderately High.The City has abandoned the one and only well that was within a high risk area in 2007. Our hope is to get abetter rating for 2011. Our source water assessment is on file at the Mason Water Treatment Plant Office at1413 Avery Ln. Mason Mi. 48854.

A system wide evaluation was done in 2008 by the DEQ, and the City of Mason water supply was given arating of Satisfactory. This is the best rating that a water supply can receive.

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS USEDIn the table below you will find many terms and abbreviations you might not be familiar with. To help youbetter understand these terms we’ve provided the following definitions:Non-Detects (ND) - laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present.Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) - one part per million corresponds to one minute in twoyears or a single penny in $10,000.Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter - one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000years, or a single penny in $10,000,000.Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) - Pico curies per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water.Action Level - The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or otherrequirements which a water system must follow.Treatment Technique (TT) - A treatment technique is a required process intended to reduce the level of acontaminant in drinking water.Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) The “Maximum Allowed” (MCL) is the highest level of a contaminantthat is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best availabletreatment technology.Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) - The “Goal” (MCLG) is the level of a contaminant in drinkingwater below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) – The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinkingwater. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbialcontaminants.Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) – The level of a drinking water disinfectant belowwhich there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use ofdisinfectants to control microbial contaminants.Running Annual Average (RAA) - four quarter running annual average for chlorine residual in the distributionsystem.

CONTACT INFORMATIONThe Federal Safe Drinking Water Act by definition says that everything in drinking water other than H2Ois a contaminant. While this makes it easier for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to writeregulations, it means we all see and hear about contaminants in our drinking water. These contaminantsinclude hardness, iron, and manganese which may cause aesthetic problems for consumers when present.These aesthetic constituents of drinking water which are present in the City of Mason’s drinking water arenot related to health considerations.

As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves natural occurring mineralsand, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence ofanimals or from human activity. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected tocontain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarilyindicate that water poses a health risk. Information about contaminants and potential health effects can beobtained by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800) 426-4791.

MICROBIOLOGICAL CONTAMINANTSThe routine test to evaluate the bacteriological quality of drinking water is to analyze routine watersamples for the presence of Total Coliform Bacteria, which is an indicator organism that is used as ahealth standard. The City’s monitoring schedule for bacteria requires the collection of eight water samplesfrom the distribution system each month to be analyzed for Total Coliform Bacteria in a properly certifiedlaboratory. This means the City collected 108 samples from the water distribution system this year. All 108samples came back negative for the presence of Total Coliform Bacteria. The City of Mason also collectedsamples from the wells and raw water main each month and they also came back negative.

Combined Radium 226/228. Some people who drink water containing radium 226 or 228 in excess of theMCL over many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer.

Copper. Copper is an essential nutrient, but some people who drink water containing copper in excess ofthe action level over a relatively short amount of time could experience gastrointestinal distress. Somepeople who drink water containing copper in excess of the action level over many years could suffer liveror kidney damage. People with Wilson’s disease should consult their personal doctor.

Raw Water: is the water that comes from all the wells to the water plant in one pipe before treatment.Finished Water: is the water that has been treated and is going out to the costumer.

The City’s finished water was tested for inorganic chemicals during 2010. The water was tested for iron,chloride, hardness, sodium, and sulfate, which are chemical constituents often found in groundwater. Theseare of aesthetic concern rather than health concern. For people concerned about their sodium intake, theresults from the sodium tests were 23ppm. Herbicides, Pesticides, and Carbamates were tested in 2009from the finished water tap and all results came back as Not Detected.

The Raw water coming into the plant was tested for Herbicides, Pesticides, and Carbamates in 2009 all

results came back Not Detected. There was one positive test result for nitrate in 2008. However, the onepositive result was only 1.1 ppm which is well below the MCL. There were no positive results for nitrite ornitrate in 2009.

The EPA has considered developing a maximum contaminant level (MCL) for sulfate since highconcentrations may cause diarrhea. The EPA requires that customers be notified of the sulfateconcentrations in the City’s water even though the sulfate concentration in the water from the finishedwater is far below the Secondary MCL of 250 ppm. The Sulfate results for 2010 were 37 ppm which is wellbelow the secondary MCL.

LEAD AND COPPERWater systems are required to collect samples or have samples collected from customers’ taps after thewater has been held in the internal home piping system for at least six hours. There is no measurable leador copper in the water as it leaves the water plant. Historical monitoring indicates no lead or copper inthe water within the distribution system either. Therefore, this is actually a check on the corrosivity of thewater in the home piping system. This monitoring is normally completed by asking selected customersto collect the samples from their home taps at the first flush of the water in the morning. The selection ofcustomers to collect these samples is based on the type of piping in the house and the location within thedistribution system.

The federal action level requires that 90% of the samples collected be less than 15 ppb for lead and 1.3ppm for copper.

In the most recent round of 40 sample points, the 90 percentile for lead was 2 ppb which is below theaction level. The 90 percentile for copper was 1.1 ppm which is below the action level. There was onewater sample that was above the action limit. Water samples from 2 residences in the City exceed theaction level for copper. The owners of these residences were notified of the results by City staff.

This monitoring program assesses an absolutely worst case situation. EPA requires samples be collectedafter the water has been in the pipe/faucet for at least six hours. Then, a first flush sample is drawn. Theaction level is based on a person potentially obtaining an entire day’s drinking water from the first liter ofwater coming from the tap.

The City continues to work to improve its corrosion control treatment since the action level for copper hasbeen slightly exceeded in some monitoring cycles. The analyses for lead were far below the action level.The samples for lead and copper analysis are collected by homeowners, and their cooperation in thisactivity is critical. Follow-up investigation of the sample points where past analytical results were abovethe 1.3 ppm action level for copper indicated some of the samples were of softened water. Water treatedin home zeolite softeners tends to be more corrosive. Increased effort will be made to assure that futuresamples are NOT of water treated in a home softener. Neither should samples be collected from basementtaps which have not routinely been in use for extended periods of time.

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women andyoung children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with servicelines and home plumbing. The City of Mason is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, butcannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sittingfor several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, youmay wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps youcan take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

ORGANIC CHEMICAL CONTAMINANTSAll seven wells used to serve the public are routinely monitored for 64 volatile organic chemicals and 75synthetic organic chemicals. The volatiles include such chemicals as gasoline derivatives and industrialsolvents. Well Nos. 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, were tested during the 2008 calendar year for volatile organic chemicalsand only two were found. The two chemicals found were Chlorodibromomethane at 0.0006 mg/l. and TotalTrihalomethanes at 0.001 mg/l. these are well below the MCL of 0.080 for both. The seven City wells aremonitored on a quarterly rotating basis established by the state.

RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINANTSThe City’s drinking water was tested in 2010 for Radium 226 + Radium 228 in accordance with stateand federal regulations. The results from quarterly testing at the water treatment plant show Radium 226=.7(+-.3) pCi/L and Radium 228=.5 (+-.7) pCi/L for a combined level of 1.2pCi/L which is well under theMCL of 5 pCi/L. This shows that the water treatment plant is doing the job by design. This MCL has beenestablished at, or near, the lower limit of detection for the laboratories. Radium is a natural contaminantin groundwater.

What does this mean?This is not an immediate risk. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately. However, somepeople who drink water containing radium 226 or 228 in excess of the MCL over many years may have anincreased risk of getting cancer.

EPA REQUIRED HEALTH INFORMATIONSome people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.Immuno-compromised people, such as those with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, those who haveundergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some of theelderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. Those listed above should seek advice aboutdrinking water from their health care providers. EPA and/or U.S. Centers for Disease Control guidelines onappropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants areavailable from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Cryptosporidium is not a concern in Masonsince the City’s water is obtained from properly constructed wells as opposed to surface water.

PROBLEMS OVERCOME DURING 2010In the second half of 2009, the Copper test results in the distribution system pulled from residents housesat the 90th percentile were 1.1 ppm. In the first half of 2010, the Copper results were also 1.1 ppm.These results are below the action limit, and have resulted in reduced required monitoring by the MDEQ.This reduction in monitoring requirements will help the City to save valuable resources and time that wasnormally spent on collection and reporting results for these tests.

If you are concerned with the copper content of your home’s drinking water, it is suggested you allow thewater to run one to two minutes before drawing water for drinking or cooking.

OTHER IMPORTANT ACTIVITIES OF YOUR WATER SYSTEM PROFESSIONALSThe City of Mason water department is working to improve storm water and well head protection activitiesin 2010. Staff is refining operations of the water treatment plant to try to make it operate as efficiently aspossible for 2011.

TELEPHONE CONTACT FOR THE SYSTEMMr. Ken Baker, Superintendent of Public Works, is responsible for the operation of the water system andcan be reached at (517) 676-1319

SUMMARYThe water supply in the City meets or exceeds state and federal drinking water quality standards.Regulations at the federal level in particular are continuing to become more detailed and stringent.

The City wants to provide citizens with the information desired regarding their drinking water. It will benecessary to upgrade the system or provide more complete treatment capabilities in the future. Yoursupport will be necessary in order for the drinking water supply to continue to meet all quality standardsand provide the desired service. Please let us know your thoughts.

Been following the gold and silvermarket lately? Well if you have ajewelry box, a lock box full of goldor a coffee can full of old coins, youshould be, according to Ohio ValleyRefinery spokesperson John Miller.“The gold and silver markets have notbeen this strong for over 30 years”said Miller. Typically when the U.S.dollar is weak and the economy isflat, gold and silver markets soar.“That’s good news if you are sittingon a few gold necklaces or an oldclass ring” says Miller.

Starting Tuesday at 9am and everyday this week through Saturday, theOhio Valley Refinery is setting up asatellite refinery right here in Lansingat the Courtyard Lansing. Duringtheir 5 day stay, anyone can bringgold, silver or platinum items andturn them in for immediate payment,explains John Miller. “Just abouteverybody has some amount of goldor silver just lying around collectingdust and this week anybody can selltheirs direct to our refinery. Typicallyselling direct to a refinery is reservedfor larger wholesale customers likejewelry stores, pawn shops andlaboratories” says Miller. “We arechanging how business is done,” heexplains “we want to do businesswith everybody so we took ourbusiness to the streets”. “Our teamsvisit various cities around the countryhosting 5 day events and allowingthe general public to take advantageof our services. “The turnout has beenoverwhelming” says Miller. “Usuallyeach day is busier than the previousday. It seems once people come tous and sell something, they are soamazed what an old ring or goldcoin is worth, they go home and startdigging around for more and tellingrelatives, friends and neighbors. It’slike a feeding frenzy by the third day.People line up with everything fromgold jewelry to sterling silver flatwaresets to old coins. I think during thisbad economy everybody can use

extra money, but most people saythey are taking advantage of sellingdirect to our refinery because of thehigher prices we pay”.

During this special event, anyoneis welcome to bring all types of gold,silver and platinum to the refineryand turn it in for instant payment. Thetypes of items they will accept includeall gold jewelry, gold coins, goldounces, dental gold, old coins madebefore 1965 including silver dollars,halves, quarters and dimes, anythingmarked “sterling” including flatwaresets, tea pots, silver bars, silverounces and all industrial preciousmetals.

What should you expect if you goto the event to sell your gold and/orsilver? Just gather up all gold, silverand platinum in any form. If you arenot sure if it’s gold or silver, bring it inand they will test it for free. When youarrive at the event you will be asked tofill out a simple registration card andwill be issued a number. Seating willbe available. When your number iscalled you will be escorted to a tablewhere your items will be examined,tested and sorted. This only takes afew minutes, using their expertise andspecialized equipment. Items will be

counted and/or weighed. The valueof the items will be determined basedon up to the minute market prices. Livefeeds will be available at the eventdisplaying current market prices of allprecious metals. If you choose to sellyour items, they will be bagged andtagged and you will be escorted tothe cashier to collect your payment.Waiting time to sell your items mayrange from just a few minutes to 1hour, so bring something to read.If you are the owner of a jewelrystore, pawn shop, dentist office or
