Officers from the Dyer Police Department responded to a 911 call of an injured man and upon arrival at his 704 N. Main St. residence found Carroll in the front yard.

Carroll passed away during the surgery. Cole surrendered to authorities near his residence and was transported to Gibson County Correctional Complex and placed under a $250,000 bond. He is free, pending trial after a bond reduction hearing, where his bond was lowered to $150,000. Other indictments were as follows: •William D.

Marvin is North-Gibson Relay For Life 2014 Honorary Chairperson for Kenton Cara Marvin is an Honorary Chairperson for the 2014 Relay For Life representing Kenton. During November of 2009, Cara had noticed that she was feeling more exhausted than normal. After a visit to the doctor, she was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia. This resulted in an overnight stay at the hospital for a blood transfusion. Her doctor ordered that she receive two pints of blood to increase her hematocrit and hemoglobin levels to a safe range. The next step was to receive three iron IV infusions in a month’s time. Another blood test was done and a colonoscopy was scheduled. Ten days before Christmas, doctors confirmed
that Cara did have colon cancer. Surgery was scheduled for January 2010. During surgery they removed eighteen inches of the colon, including the ascending colon and part of the transverse colon. Fortunately, all of the cancer was contained to this one specific area which required no follow up treatments with chemo or radiation. After surgery routine check-ups were essential to insure the cancer had not returned. Cara’s last colonoscopy was in September of 2013 and the doctors said to come back in three years. “Colon cancer can be detected with a free colon test. see page 3

Taylor Family Memorial ride: great turnout for great cause BY DOUG DUNCAN The 6th annual Tanya Taylor Family Memorial Bike Bide held Sunday, May 4th was a huge success! We had 132 bikers register for the ride, but have been told 140 bikes were counted, either way, it was a great turnout for such a great cause. We know Tanya, Brad, Tyce and Kyle would be so pleased with the support and love shown in their memory during this memorial ride. Proceeds from this ride will go to the Tanya Taylor Family Memorial Fund, portions of which will go towards funds for a 17 member team serving in Quito, Ecuador, May 31-June 7. Tanya’s parents, Ronnie and Selene Barron, are members of this team. Medical supplies, Bibles, children’s supplies, and reading glasses are just examples of items provided through this fund for our FBC mission trip to Ecuador. Proceeds from this fund assist team members serving on international trips, as well as stateside trips.
We owe a big ‘thank you’ to so many people for making May 4th such a success. Sheriff Chuck Arnold, Capt. Roger Gray, and all the guys with the Gibson County Sheriff’s Dept. did their usual excellent job of providing a safe ride for all. Also, great help from the local police departments in Dyer, Rutherford, Trenton, Milan and Humboldt. The ride went off without a glitch, thanks to a great job by you guys. We couldn’t do this event without your help! Lynn Parker and Mary Burks Minton with Burks Beverage in Dyersburg provided the drinks for our event, a tribute to a long-standing business relationship with Ronnie Barron while at Exxon in Dyer. This was handled by Joey Hays’ excellent staff, store manager Randy Coleman and crew, at Dyer Food Rite. Joey’s ongoing support of this event and how Dyer Food Rite handles all the logistics makes our job much easier. see page 3

County Commission to meet next week BY APRIL G. JACKSON State tax relief for disabled and elderly property owners is among topics to be addressed by county leaders when they meet next week. Other items on the agenda include funding a county scholarship, several budget transfers and a review of the county’s debt management policy. The Gibson County Commission will meet Monday, May 12 at 9 a.m. at the Ed Jones Complex on Manufacturers Row in Trenton. A resolution to be heard Monday will encourage the Tennessee General Assembly to fully fund the state tax relief program for disabled and elderly property owners. The state has long provided this relief to those who meet a certain base income level. But the need has grown to the point that the state, for the 2013 tax year, hasn’t fully funded the program for the future. Without the additional state funding, many citizens may be forced to leave or even lose their homes, according to the resolution. County leaders will also consider a Gibson County Jumpstart Scholarship program as detailed by the workforce development committee. The committee is requesting $25,000 and plan to award 100 $250 see page 3
Post office food drive is Saturday On Saturday, May 10th postal employees will be conducting their annual food drive.

Insight & Opinion Pretending to be teenagers
Clayburn Peeples reports: So my three young daughters, ages ten, eight, and five on the cusp of six, decided they wanted to play “teenagers” the other day. They had just visited their older cousins, one of whom had recently turned 13, and she, the new teenager, was just so cool they wanted to emulate her. In addition, they recently watched the old Hayley Mills movie, The Parent Trap, about a couple of young teenaged twins who had been separated at birth, but who had miraculously found each other at a summer camp. Who knows where kids get their ideas, but they decided that teenagers wear blue jeans and white, button up shirts, so they each dressed accordingly and went out to play in the backyard at the picnic table. Then, after doing that for about an hour, they all took off on their bicycles, but pretty soon Sarah, who actually turned six this past weekend, came in sobbing. It was not the kind of sobbing you hear when a child has been injured, however. Instead, it was the kind of wail you can tell comes from emotional angst, rather than physical pain. “What’s wrong,” her mother asked? “We’re playing teenagers,” Sarah replied pitifully, tears rolling down her face, “but
I can’t be a teenager with training wheels on my bike.” She’s right, of course, and at her age she doesn’t know that riding bikes is no longer high on the typical teenager’s list of fun things to do. I thought about that for a while, and wondered briefly just what else, exactly, do the girls do when they are “playing teenagers.” (Sort of scary if you think about it long enough.) What is it they think teenagers do when they, teenagers, are having fun? A couple of days later, as I was driving them home from dance practice, I decided I would find out. I began by asking them, specifically, why they were playing “teenagers.” “It’s fun!” exclaimed Grace. “But what do you do when you play teenagers,” I asked? “Well,” she replied, “first we did crafts at the picnic table, and then after a while we rode our bicycles. “Why do you have to pretend you’re teenagers to do crafts and ride bicycles,” I queried? “Because,” said Grace, (who seems to do most of the talking in conversations like this) “I like to pretend I’m older so I can pretend Margaret and Sarah are older too.” Before I could ask why,
she continued, “Usually I pretend I’m 12. Then I can pretend Margaret is 10, and we pretend Sarah is seven. It’s more fun to play with a seven-year-old.” (No kidding; that’s what she said. This is how the 10-year-old mind seems to work these days.) Sarah however, who has been listening quietly to the conversation up to this point, suddenly speaks up, saying, “Well if we’re going to pretend, I want to be 15.” “Oh no,” I think to myself. “Please, please no,” but the conversation was about to get significantly worse from my standpoint. “No Sarah,” Grace insisted. “You can’t be 15. If you were 15, Margaret would be 18, and I would be 20. That’s too old. I wouldn’t be a teenager any more.” “Well what about Daddy,” asked Sarah? How old would he be? Is he 58 now? “No,” says Margaret emphatically, speaking for the first time. “He’s sixty-eight!” “Sixty-eight!” says Sarah, as if startled by this information. “That means he would be 78!” “That’s right,” said Margaret. “He would be 78 if you were 15.” I couldn’t think of a single thing to add to this conversation, but Sarah

The
Trap. Maybe they do, and I just don’t know about it, or maybe they don’t, but will again someday. Maybe the self-destructive practices among teenagers that seem to be pandemic today will disappear in a revival of old-fashioned morality and cultural norms. But I’m not betting on it anytime soon. I’m afraid I’ll really be in Never Never Land before that happens.

turning to me she said, “We won’t let you get any older than that, Daddy.” Yeeks! After unsuccessfully suggesting that Never Never Land is where people never grow up rather than old, I decided to change the subject and went back to my questions about what they think teenagers do, and the long and short of it is that they think teenagers really do act like the Hayley Mills characters in The Parent

What are you talking about?” (I’m wondering if this point if she might somehow have conflated her Sunday School lessons with the story of Peter Pan.) “You know,” she said. “Never Never Land, where you never grow old.” Then,

Lowrance Chapel By Brandon Clenney Greetings from the Lowrance Chapel church of Christ! We ask that you continue to pray for Max Betts, Carlene Meadows, Chase Kemp, Jean Harris, and Modeen Pierce. Several years ago, Dr. Albert H. Cantril, a professor at Princeton University, conducted a series of experiments to demonstrate how quickly rumors spread. He called six students to his office and in strict confidence informed them that the Duke and Duchess of Windsor were planning to attend a
certain university function. Within a week, this completely fictitious story had reached nearly every student on campus. Town officials phoned the university, demanding to know why they had not been informed. Press agencies were frantically telephoning for details. Dr Cantril observed, “That was a pleasant rumor - a slanderous one travels even faster.” “A talebearer reveals secrets, but he who is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter” (Prov. 11:13) Have a good week!

Big news! Brock and Sarah Lowrance announce the arrival of Scarlett Kate on May 2. Congratulations to her proud parents, grandparents and extended family. All of us are excited and thankful that she is here and she and Mom are both fine. Sunday before last Doug Duncan, one of the Gideons in the North Gibson Camp spoke in our morning worship. We are all a part of spreading theWord of God around the world when we support the work of the Gideons. A generous offering was taken and presented to Doug to help with that effort. We had a wonderful program of music that morning with Tina and Janice Playing ‘It is Well With my Soul’ using the chimes. That adds such a moving dimension to the sound of many of our favorite hymns. Then Bro. Jeff surprised us by singing ‘In the Garden’ for our special. That’s the first time he has sung a solo and he did a fine job. He’s been holding out on us. We were missing the Smithsons’ and Cochrans’ as they went to Louisville to participate in an FCA event that Zach was involved with. This Sunday’s call to worship was ‘Jesus, Something About That Name.’ Bro. Jeff talked to the Preacher’s Pals about the Church. Jo and Janice played ‘I Gave Myself for Thee’ for the offertory. Bro. Jeff’s morning message was ‘What God Thinks of You.’ His main text was Jeremiah 29:10-13 with references from Psalms 139:1-19 and Proverbs 21:2. He used
the terms individually, intimately, infinitely and instantly as some of the ways that God thinks of us. It was a very encouraging sermon. Sunday night his sermon was ‘Our Hope is Certain’ with the text being Romans 5:5, Romans 14:4, Romans 15:13 and references from Hebrews 6:17-19, Acts, Ephesians, Titus, 1 Timothy, Ephesians, and 2 Thessalonians. I probably missed some more but it is so good to travel through the Bible as he backs up his sermon points with the Word of God. We were saddened to learn that two people who were killed in an automobile accident over the weekend were friends of Chad McMackin. Our prayers and sympathy go out to their family. Mark your calendars for Sunday May 18. We will be having our worship service at Reelfoot Lake Round House Park at approximately 10:30. Following singing and preaching, we will be eating. Bring your picnic basket full of goodies to share. We are expecting a very good time. Congratulations to Curtis and Catelyn Cochran who earned their Masters’degrees from University of Tennessee at Martin. They have worked hard to achieve this level and we are proud of them. Borrowed from the bulletin: God builds His church with different stones and makes each one belong; All shapes and sizes fit in place to make the structure strong.
North Union Happy Birthday wishes were sung to Grace Joyce who turned one on the third and Blake Reese who celebrates on May 9. Phyllis Joyce had charge of our childrens sermon as she came dressed as Elviria. She was playing the part of a newspaper reporter. She asked the children many questions from the Bible stressing how important to get all the facts correct. She passed out papers telling of Good News with scripture from Matt. 28: 19-20 and Mark 16: 15-16 Bro. Chris sermon was from Jude. It was about apostacy - false teachers of today. Book of Jude tells us to stand up and fight for the truth. We are in a spiritual battle until the Lord comes.
By Sarah Allen
Our responsibility is to protect the word of God. Jude points out non believers such as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the 3 wicked examples of Cain, Balaam, and Korah which were a bad stain on the church. He asked are we prepared to stand up for the truth of God? We need to be sound in doctrines and committed to God’s word. Know what you believe and why. On May 18 we will have a graduation luncheon for Seniors Lindsey Whitley and Robert Joyce who are graduating from college and Lexie Whitley and Christian Marks from High School. Our closing Hymn was ‘Here I Am Lord.’

Pharmacy & Your Health DiGeorge Syndrome Symptoms Treatments The genetic condition, DiGeorge syndrome, is caused by a chromosome 22 abnormality which is characterized by inadequate development of different parts of the body. Individuals with this condition typically experience abnormalities of the heart, underdevelopment of the thymus, low calcium due to underdevelopment of the parathyroid gland, and behavioral conditions. The thymus normally works in the development of T cells, which are essential tot he function of the immune system. Although there is currently no cure available for DiGeorge syndrome, treatments are available for associated abnormalities. Surgical procedures may be needed to correct heart defects. Signs of low calcium in infants may include muscle jerking. Infants with low levels of calcium may be treated with calcium gluconate. Routine vaccinations are important, as underdevelopment of the thymus gland can contribute to an increased risk of infections. If a behavioral condition such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) develops, treatments for the specific condition may be prescribed. Methyphenidate (Concerta, Ritalin) is a stimulant that works in increase the amounts of the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine.

Sunday School for Shut-Ins By Mary King Mordecai just found out he and his kin were about to be murdered. How did that happen? He had refused to bow down to a man named Haman on the street. Haman set up a plot with the king who also didn’t believe in God. Haman turned against Mordecai and his relatives. He doesn’t know that one of those relatives was Esther, (Mordecai’s adopted daughter). Parents who adopt, have their deliverers in their home. Mordecai sat down in the middle of the street and throws dust on his head. Esther sent a messenger to Mordecai who said, ‘Esther wants to know why you are sad.’ Mordecai sent a message back. The messenger said to Esther, ‘Mordecai said that he had just learned that the evil and powerful Haman is making plans to kill him and all his nation. Esther, he said you must go to the king and ask him to stop this awful plot.’ But Esther sent a messenger back who said, ‘Esther said that she can’t go to the king because if she goes to him before he calls for her, he will kill her. She can’t go. There’s nothing anyone can do.’ Mordecai sends back
a messenger with this message: ‘ Mordecai said that they will kill you too Esther. You are the only hope for your people.’ While the messenger bring that messages, Haman orders that gallows be built to hang Mordecai. Esther’s message: ‘I just can’t do it now. If I die, it won’t help.’ Mordecai sent the message to Esther. The messenger said, ‘Mordecai said to tell you that if you don’t go before the king, you will die with all of us anyway because he will find out that you are one of us. Then we will all die. Esther you’re our only hope. The gallows have been built for me. I have raised as my own daughter.’ Esther sent the messenger back to Mordecai. The messenger said, ‘Esther said to tell you to call everyone on our side to abstain from food for 3 days. She said they will be fasting for her life. Then she will go to the king. She said to tell you, ‘Then if I die, I will die.’ Esther gave her life. She doesn’t believe she will return, she put on a blindfold and stepped out on pure faith. She risked her life to save her life and the life of relatives. She was a one-woman military when everything landed in her

Rutherford 1st Baptist By Katheryn Blankenship I think we can put our coats up! Hot weather is upon us, but lets not fuss after all the cold long winter. Our Sunday crowd was down some with a few of our men in Memphis at the mission helping serve lunch. Billy Griffin sang ‘I’ve Never Been This Far’ for the special. Brother Jason’s message ‘Epidemic of Fools’ was taken from Psalm 14. Our hearts were hurting for a former member Kay Hamm who lost her daughter and grandson in a wreck in Medina Saturday afternoon. Ka had recently sold her house here to move there to be near her family. Our prayers go out to her and her son-in-law and grandson who are left.
We also send sympathy to Mrs. Nadean East family. Mrs. Madean worked at Kellwood for a number of years. I still have some snow flakes she croched for me several years ago. Dianne Richardson is going to Memphis this week for surgery. Our prayer is it will be successful. Those having birthdays this week are Blake Dunn, Billy Joe Eakes, Sallie Pate, Teresa Lozier, Dennis Keathley, Lexus Kemp and Kelon Tucker. ‘Help me live from day to day in such a self-forgetting way. That even when I kneel to pray. My prayer may be for others.’ Until next week, God bless.
New Hope News By Shirley Hooper Wednesday evening Ms. Shelia Bell spoke on her missionary trips to Brazil. She had videos and a missionary cube she demonstrated. We saw the block parties in Humboldt and Trenton held at the end of the GPS (God’s Plan for Sharing). Sunday our minster, Brother Corey eggs spoke on ‘cover yourself with the Holy Spirit’ from John 16:7-13. How do you know when you are under conviction? Also we must have a sensitive spirit to God’s Holy Spirit. The foundation of all sin is unbelief. In John 3:16 and 17 we find God did not send Christ to condemn us but to save us. When we know something is wrong in our lives we must place ourselves in His hands. Sunday evening Brother Corey spoke on ‘misunderstanding in the ministry’ from I Corinthians 16:5-7 where Paul promises to visit Corinth, Lord permitting. But the Lord did not permit. In I Corinthians
1:15-17 we find the rest of the story. This explains why it is not hard to be misunderstood. We are here to please the Lord, not people. II Corinthians 1:12 tell us why the plan changed. Next Sunday, May 11 will be Mother’s Day. We will also honor our graduating seniors. Congratulations to those graduating from Gibson County High School, Landon Spencer, Cody Reynolds, Taylor McKinney, Cara Beth Holt who signed a scholarship with Jackson State Community College and Darcie Halliburton grade, graduating 8th Rutherford Junior High. New Hope is proud of you. Baccalaureate services will be held Wednesday, May 14, 2014 at 6 p.m. at the Gibson County High School Theater. There will be not services at New Hope. Graduation will be Friday, May 16. Flowers may beckon toward us, but they speak toward heaven and god. Henry Ward Beecher.

TEA BY THE SEA - On April 30th, the Bookworms celebrated Teapot Week with a special Tea Party Story Time. The theme was ‘Tea By The Sea,’ so at the beginning of Story Time, all of the Bookworms gathered onto beach towels and were asked to close their eyes and pretend that we were sitting on the beach. The story ‘Fun in the Sun’ by Janine Scott was read. The story follows two farmers, Farmer Claude and Farmer Maude, as they decide to take a trip to the beach to escape all of the bad weather that they are having on the farm. After the story, the Bookworms had a tea party complete with pink lemonade poured from a teapot, cheese tartlets, and sand bar treats. After snack, the Bookworms decorated their very own paper teapot. Then, everyone joined in for the song ‘I’m a Little Teapot.’ The ‘Chicken Dance’ was danced next followed by the Hokey Pokey. You can join the Bookworms on Wednesday mornings at 10 at the Gibson County Memorial Library. Those atended (left to right) were Leigharyn, Tucker, Jacob, Tyler, Cash, Cameron and Parker 9front row left to right) Lila, Kierra, Jubilee, Kennedy, and Emree.

Golden Agers And again, this time April 30, Golden Agers met in the FLC of dyer FBC with attendance 19 strong. And we met anticipating a bountiful spaghetti lunch with the meat sauce supplied by dyer FBC, chocolate fudge cake from the kitchen of Bitsy Gilliland and the other amenities shared by 8 of us GA members. We began our morning’s program with the ‘Happy Birthday’ song sang to Jean Baker and Imogene King, who happily have reached a new milestone in their life’s journey. Bro. Bill Webb, Dyer FBC interim minister of music, and pianist Anne Thompson led the music which included ‘Blessed Assurance; and ‘Nearer My God to Thee.’ How wonderful it is to have Anne’ lilting piano accompaniment with Bro. Bill’s leading! Future plans for trips was our president Gary Baker’s focus during the business portion of our meeting. Golden agers will attend ‘Heaven if for Real’ this Saturday as a group and May 22 we’ll go to Memphis for a very special day’s outing. We would love to have more to come and there are many available by age. Fifty-five is the beginning age for the golden years and many of you are missing good fellowship and good fun. O, come on down and find out about May 22! Our prayer time was filled with supplications to our lord in his will to heal Dianne Richardson and Pat
By Alice Ernest
Brewer. Jane Forsythe led the prayer for us all for these prayer needs and for comfort for the family of Dan Shaw, who as an active member with his wife Diane in Dyer FBC for many years, was involved in many creative ventures that enhanced our church’s witness. We shared in praise for the success of Bro. Legg’s cataract surgery. Also sending prayers for the family of Eddie Bone. Pastor of Dyer FBC DeWayne Goodgine brought his devotion of ‘The Right Attitude’ from the writings of Paul’s second letter to the church at Corinth, II Cor.: 4 7-8. The graphic description of the treasure of the Christian life, the inheritance that is so grand, should make us rejoice and be happy in our attitude. That this treasure is encased in our fragile ‘jars of clay’ should guide us into humbleness! Lastly, however, we should have an attitude of hopefulness for from verse 8, we know that the gospel has power, for even though we are hard pressed, we are not crushed and though we are perplexed, we are not in despair. And then it was almost 11 a.m. and everyone was ready for spaghetti and all the trimmings. I’ll say it again, ‘We do the eating so well!’ And our little guest Grayson Goodgine was joy to behold. He does love spaghetti.

What is the source of my water? Your water, which is ground water, comes from a sand aquifer. Our goal is to protect our water from contaminants and we are working with the State to determine the vulnerability of our water source to potential contamination. The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) has prepared a Source Water Assessment Program (SWAP) Report for the untreated water sources serving water to this water system. The SWAP Report assesses the susceptibility of untreated water sources to potential contamination. To ensure safe drinking water, all public water systems treat and routinely test their water. Water sources have been rated as reasonably susceptible, moderately susceptible or slightly susceptible based on geologic factors and human activities in the vicinity of the water source. The City of Dyer sources rated as reasonably susceptible to potential contamination. An explanation of Tennessee’s Source Water Assessment Program, the Source Water Assessment summaries, susceptibility scorings and the overall TDEC report to EPA can be viewed online at www.tn.gov/environment/water/water-supply_source-assessment.shtml or you may contact the Water System to obtain copies of specific assessments. A wellhead protection plan is available for your review by contacting Randy Gregory at the City of Dyer between 7:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. weekdays. Why are there contaminants in my 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 Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Este informe contiene información muy importante. Tradúscalo o hable con alguien que lo entienda bien. For more information about your drinking water, please call Randy Gregory at 731-487-9654. How can I get involved? Our Water Board meets on the second and fourth Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Dyer City Hall which is located at 105 South Main St. Please feel free to participate in these meetings. Is our water system meeting other rules that govern our operations? The State and EPA require us to test and report on our water on a regular basis to ensure its safety. We have met all of these requirements. Results of unregulated contaminant analysis are available upon request. We want you to know that we pay attention to all the rules. Other Information The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and 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 animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water: · 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, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. · 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. · Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation prescribe regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. Do I Need To Take Special Precautions? Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer 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 not only their drinking water, but food preparation, personal hygiene, and precautions in handling infants and pets from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Lead in Drinking Water 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. City of Dyer 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 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/safewater/lead Water System Security Following the events of September 2001, we realize that our customers are concerned about the security of their drinking water. We urge the public to report any suspicious activities at any utility facilities, including treatment plants, tanks, fire hydrants, etc. to 731-692-3767.
