LAPEERCOUNTY
Lapeer County Veterans
Affairs Director Ed Ronders
has been running full-tilt
since assuming the position
about a year ago.
On Tuesday, June 14,
Ronders hosted a Flag Day
road trip for veterans to the
Great Lakes National
Cemetery in Holly.
The tour was part of the
Lapeer VAs new Lunch and
Learn workshop series
designed to educate and
inform local veterans of
available programs and services.
More than 50 local veterans, spouses and other interested parties assembled at
Lapeer American Legion
Post #16 early, before boarding a bus destined for the
544-acre burial site situated a
short distance from I-75.
Ronders noted that the
trip was funded through a
generous donation from the
United Way of Lapeer
County.
He added that box lunches provided the travelers on
the return trip to Lapeer,
were provided by American
Legion Post 16 Auxiliary
members.
Also aboard the bus were
Lapeer County
Commissioner Linda Jarvis,
who commended Ronders
and his VAstaff for organizing the trip; and Lapeer
Attorney and veteran Bernard
A. Jokuns, who discussed
various end-of-life matters,
including the importance of
having a will and establish-
place.
Despite the obvious
advantages and cost benefits,
Giannetti said only about 10
percent of eligible veterans
choose to be buried or
interred in dedicated cemeteries like the one in Holly,
or other National Cemeteries
nationwide.
Eligibility for burial is
that the veteran provide his/
her DD-214, their discharge
papers, and have been discharged under honorable
conditions.
Giannetti noted that all
eligible veterans will be provided burial benefits at no
cost, including: a burial
plot; opening and closing of
the gravesite; a government
graveliner; a marble headstone or marker with inscription; burial flag; Presidential
Memorial Certificate; and
perpetual care of the
gravesite. Funeral director
services are not covered.
Military honors can usually be provided by volunteer
honor guards comprised of
members of the VFW,
American Legion or other
approved military service
organizations.
Giannetti said a typical
30-minute ceremony will
include a flag-folding, pre-

Long before my discovery of Jules Bretons beautiful work, Willa Cather, one

a similar kinship with the

Rural Lifestyles
t doesnt seem like there
are many magic bullets
when it comes to gardening. After digging old soaker
hoses out of storage recently,
I was certain Id found a
quick and easy solution for
keeping the plants in my
raised beds from getting so
parched. The pea, lettuce and
chard seeds I stuck in the soil
this spring have struggled
since day one and weve had
a sparse strawberry crop due
to the dry conditions.
Besides, any kind of drip irrigation is superior to overhead
watering for a variety of reasons. Some 20 to 50 percent
of water sprayed in plants is
lost through evaporation and
water on leaf surfaces can
contribute to fungal diseases
and other health issues.
Concentrating the water
where its needed prevents
unwanted weeds from popping up elsewhere in the garden too.
A mulch of some kind, like straw, helps retain soil moisture in all kinds of
watering systems, including drip irrigation.
how much water plants use.
Annuals and perennials
require three-quarters to one
inch of water per week, the
Bellevue officials note. If
using a soaker hose, plan to
use it a total of 45 to 60 minutes per week, either at 25 to
30 minute intervals twice a

trail and the ORV width. Offtrail or off-route ORV operation outside of a designated
trail is prohibited, except for
licensed hunters removing
deer, bear or elk and operating an ORV at speeds of 5
miles per hour or less and
traveling to the harvested
game using the shortest possible route.
In the Lower Peninsula,
the ORV trail/route system is
the only legal place to ride
non-Secretary of Statelicensed ORVs on public
lands other than frozen
waters.
State parks and national
forests
ORVs generally are prohibited on state game areas or
state parks and recreation
areas.
In all national forests,
motor vehicles can be used
only on roads, trails or areas
that are designated as open on
motor vehicle use maps. For
more information, contact the
local national forest headquarters.
Public roads
Roads, streets and highways maintained for yearround automobile travel
(including the shoulder and
the right-of-way) are closed
to ORV operation unless designated open to ORV use by
local ordinance. ORV operators should check with that
countys sheriff, road commission or clerk for local
ordinances.
In Lapeer County, ORV
use is allowed on nearly 90
percent of the countys roads.
City and village streets and a
portion of high traffic primary roads are off limits.
Per the countys ordinance, ORVs may be operated
on the far right of the roadway at no more than 25 miles
per hour. Vehicles must travel
single file and all occupants
must wear a helmet and protective eyewear unless the
vehicle is equipped with an
appropriate roof and seat
belts.
It is illegal to operate
ORVs on state and federal
highways, including the
shoulders and rights of way.
Private land
Private land is closed to
ORV operation except by the
landowner and the landowners invited guests.
Caring for the environment
An ORV may not be operated in a manner that creates
an
erosive
condition.
Michigans soils and shorelines are fragile, and ORV
operation in these areas and
along stream banks and other
waterways is prohibited. It is
unlawful to operate any ORV
in or on the waters of any
stream, river, marsh, bog,
wetland or quagmire.
For more information
about ORV regulations and
safe operation, see the
Handbook of Michigan OffRoad Vehicle Laws.

This spring she finished
with a .457 average, thanks to
55 singles, one double and a
two triples among 127 at
bats. Her level of plate proficiency was best on the Imlay
City ballclub.
She also provided her
teams best run (46) and steal
(22) outputs plus amassed
her squads sixth highest RBI
total.
Katkic struck out just
nine times.
Those numbers paved the
way to an array of postseason
honors. She concluded her
fourth season on Imlay Citys
varsity as a Tri-City Times
All-Area, All-Blue Water
Area Conference, All-District
and All-Region first team
choice.
Katkic also claimed the
Blue Water Area Conference

Cassidy Loridon suited up
for the Gold team in a 3-2
setback to the Blue squad at
the Blue Water Area Senior
All-Star Game on Tuesday,
June 21.
Pine Grove Park, in Port
Huron, is where the game
was contested.
In Tuesdays encounter,
the Gold team took a 1-0
advantage after three innings
were done.
The fourth inning would
see the Blue squad collect
one run as did the Gold team.
That left the latter with a 2-1
edge to protect.
The Blue squad then used
a 1-0 fifth inning advantage
to make it a 2-2 ballgame.
Four complete innings
later, the scoreboard count
remained unchanged.
The Blue squad then outscored the Gold during inning
number ten, pulling out a 3-2
victory.
Taylor Blevins (CrosLex), Ally Edgerton (Yale),
Holly Engel (Yale), Nicole
Finazzo (Anchor Bay),

Matt Hammer concluded 18
holes with matching rounds
of 74. That meant a tiebreaker would have to be
implemented to determine a
champion.
It was there Brandt made
a birdie on the first playoff
hole and Hammer managed a
par, leaving the former with a
first-place finish to show for
his efforts.
Almonts Josh Sustarich
also competed that day.
Sustarich shot a 99, paving
the way to an eighth.
Emma Kerr, of Capac,
ended the day as the girls
champion. Kerr wrapped up
her 18-hole round with a

The table below lists all the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the 2015 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, 2015. 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): means 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: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water
system must follow.

At a session of Court held in the
Courthouse for the 40th Judicial Circuit.
PRESENT: THE HONORABLE
NICK O. HOLOWKA, CIRCUIT
JUDGE
IT IS ORDERED that the
Defendants, David Morton Battice, his
unknown heirs, assigns, and successors
in interest shall answer, or take such
other action as may be permitted by law,
the Plaintiffs Complaint to Quiet Title
to the following described lands:
Land situated in the Township of
Attica, County of Lapeer, State of
Michigan, described as follows:
Parcel C: A parcel of land located
in and being a part of the Southwest 1/4
of the Southeast 1/4 of the Southwest
1/4, Section 29, Town 7 North, Range 11
East, Attica Township, Lapeer County,
Michigan, being more particularly
described as follows: Commencing at
the South 1/4 corner of said Section 29;
thence North 89 degrees 44 minutes 00
seconds West 655.00 feet along the
South line of said Section 29, being the
centerline of Hunters Creek Road, to
the point of beginning; thence continuing North 89 degrees 44 minutes 00
seconds West 165.00 feet along the said
south line of Section 29 and centerline
of Hunters Creek Road; thence North
00 degrees 13 minutes 23 seconds West
663.01 feet; thence South 89 degrees 33
minutes 09 seconds East 165.01 feet;
thence South 00 degrees 13 minutes 23
seconds East 662.49 feet to the point of
beginning.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED the
answer or other action shall be filed with
the Circuit Court for the County of
Lapeer at 266 Clay Street, Lapeer, MI
48446 no later than 28 days from the
date of the last publication of this Order
to Answer.
The complaint that has been filed
with this Court seeks to quiet title in the
Plaintiff as a result of the Plaintiffs successor in title having acquired title by
means of a conveyance from the Lapeer
County Treasurer resulting from a forfeiture of the interest of David Morton
Battice for delinquent taxes, penalties,
interest and fees.
Failure to answer the complaint or
take such other action as permitted by
law will result in judgement in favor of
the Plaintiff by default.

SPECIAL MEETING
JUNE 21, 2016
SYNOPSIS
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 associated 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 or lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30
seconds 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/savewater/lead.

The water then goes through the Arsenic Treatment Plant. This finished water is
distributed to customers and excess supplies are stored in an elevated storage tank.
Every spring and fall, your distribution system is flushed to remove deposits. This
improves the taste of the water and helps prevent a cloudy appearance.
HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
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 EPAs Safe Drinking
Water Hotline (800) 426-4791.
The sources of both tap and bottled drinking water include rivers, lakes, streams,
ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of land or
through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases,
radioactive materials, and can also pick up substances resulting from animal or 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 occur
ring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater
discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming.
Pestisides and Herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as
agriculture, runoff 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-products of industrial processes and petroleum
production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff and
septic systems.
To ensure that tap water is safe, the EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount
of certain contaminants in
water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration regulates
established limits for contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same
protection for public health.
Information for People with Special Health Concerns:
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the
general population. Immuno-compromised
persons such as persons undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone
organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system 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
microbiological contaminants are also available from EPAs Safe Drinking Water
Hotline (800) 426-4791.
DEFINITIONS
Parts per million (ppm) and parts per billion (ppb) One ppm can be equated to four
teaspoons of salt in a standard 24 foot backyard pool. One ppb is one teaspoon of salt
in an Olympic-size pool. PPM is equivalent to a milligram per liter milligram =
1/1000 grams. PPB is equivalent to a micro gram per liter micro gram = 1/1000
milligram.
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) The MCLG is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected health risk.
MCLGs provide for a margin of safety.
Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) The MCL is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in the drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs
as feasible, using the best available treatment technology. MCLs are set at very
stringent levels by the State and Federal government.
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) - The MRDL is the highest level
of 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) - The MRDLG is the level
of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to
health.
Picocuries per Liter(pCi/L) a measure of radioactivity.
Action Level (AL) - The concentration of a contaminant which, if expected, triggers
treatment of other required actions a water system must follow.
e.n.d. erosion of natural deposits.
nd - not detectable at testing limit.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Interested Citizens are welcome to attend Village Council meetings to hear more about Capacs water system issues.
Meetings are held the first and third Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Capac American Legion Hall 115 N. Main St.
