Parental/guardian permission slips must be signed before the student’s exam. Forms may be picked up at the superinten-dent’s or high school offi ce, or may be signed that evening at the gym.

School PhysicalsTonight

The Allen Masonic Lodge will be serving breakfast from 7:00 to 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 27th. The fundraiser will be held at the lodge on West Broadway.

Cost of the meal is $8 per breakfast. Additional donations will be accepted and greatly appreciated.

Masonic Breakfast

In an effort to curb the infl ux of trailer houses brought into Allen, the town council ap-proved an ordinance last month addressing the issue.

The town is implementing regulations for mobile homes to reduce the substandard housing. Recently older mo-bile homes and manufactured homes have been brought in and some tend to result in nu-merous code violations and an

overall reduction in property values. The ordinance will make sure certain standards shall be met before being is-sued a building permit.

Most standards are common sense things such as each unit shall have sanitary facilities such as a kitchen sink, lava-tory, tub or shower in working condition; hot and cold water supply; properly working heat-ing units; smoke detectors,

windows and exterior walls and siding in good repair. The structure must have a sound roof and interior fl oors, walls and ceiling.

Also each structure must have runners, base bed and tie downs. The unit must also have skirting in good state and appearance with a porch for the entryway.

The mobile home must be ten (10) years of age or newer

at the time of placement.Also in an effort to stop

crowding several mobile homes in a lot each mobile home must have a setback of: front yard 20 feet, side yard 15 feet and back yard 15 feet.

Also no one shall perma-nently reside in a travel trailer or recreational vehicle except as allowed in a RV park and each unit must have appropri-ate sewage disposal.

To insure that these regula-tions are followed no utilities will be turned on until the unit is inspected and approved. This includes water, sewer, electric and gas. Each vendor must be presented an approved inspection letter before they will install the utility.

Also approved on a 4-1 vote the Town of Allen will work on a contract with WCA (Waste Corporation of America) to take charge of the towns’ solid waste management. The cost of landfi ll fees and maintaining an aged trash truck makes this action a necessity. Allen has always prided itself on being fairly self suffi cient by owning its own water, sewer and trash collection, however the trash

truck has become a liability and unreliable. The cost of a new trash truck is well above $200,000 so that price along with the landfi ll fees and fuel cost makes contracting the service the only cost effec-tive option. WCA currently services Ada and other area communities. The downside, of course, is the pickup will be reduced to once a week. The company will provide each resident with a trash cart.

A contract has not been signed and the current trash schedule will continue as long as it remains feasible depend-ing on the condition and work-ing order of trash truck.

In other business the council approved an agreement with Pontotoc County for street maintenance. Pontotoc County will assist Allen with street chipping and sealing.

The updates to the water wells are almost complete with new well motors and construc-tion and with additional grant money replacement of piping and insulation on Aeration tank and install updated check valves and other updates were approved.

By LeaAnn Wells Chad Goodson has been ap-

pointed to the Allen School

Board, fi lling the vacated seat held by long time member, Lyn Anderson. Mrs. Anderson

resigned in May, after serving nine years on the board.

The Allen School Board voted unanimously to appoint Mr. Goodson to the vacant seat during their regularly sched-uled June meeting.

Mr. Goodson has been an Allen resident his entire life. He and wife, Keisha, have two children, Brogen, who will be entering the second grade this fall, and daughter Khloe, who will be in Pre-K next year. He is a 2001 graduate of Allen

High School where he partici-pated in football, baseball, and FFA.

“I’m looking forward to this,” said Goodson. ”They asked me if I would be in-terested and I thought, ‘Why not, I have kids in the school system and I’d like to be part of this. It’s an honor.’”

Goodson joins board mem-bers Cindy Davis, Jeff Maloy, Robert Hammonds and Frayne Black.

In further business, the Board

accepted the resignation of High School Principal/Athletic Director Paul Scroggins. Mr. Scroggins resigned in late June, after accepting a position with the Byng School District.

In a special meeting, held July 2nd, the Board interviewed replacements for Principal and voted to offer the position to Mr. Chad Ward. Mr. Ward, who comes to Allen from Hartshorne, has since accepted and assumed the duties of High School Principal and Athletic Director.

City Council Sets Ordinance on Mobile Homes

Meet & Greet Night for Allen Elementary & Middle School

The Allen Board of Educa-tion met Thursday, July 11th, for their regularly scheduled monthly meeting. Present for the meeting were members Frayne Black, Cindy Davis and Chad Goodson. Also present were Superintendent Ty Har-man, and principals Mary Pat Sappenfi eld and Chad Ward.

The meeting began at 7:00 pm and opened with the State-ment of Open Meeting Law and approval of the Consent Agenda which included min-utes of the previous meeting, purchase orders and encum-brances, payroll, the treasur-er’s report, and activity fund report.

As always at the fi rst meeting of the new fi scal year, general paperwork was dealt with in-cluding appointments of Bren-da Robertson as Treasurer and Minutes Clerk to the Board; Freta Holder as Encumbrance Clerk and assistant Minutes Clerk; Ty Harman as Purchas-ing/Receiving Agent, district representative in all matters concerning state and federal funds including PL 874, Child Nutrition, surplus property, Title Program, REAP, John-son O’Malley, Career-Tech, Carl Perkins, E-Rate, mineral royalty, and insurance for the School Year 2014.

The Board also renewed the lease purchase of the metal roof and other items as required un-der the agreement with Zion First National Bank.

Approval was given to con-tinue membership in OPSU-CA, board attendance at the OSSBA/CCOSA conference in Oklahoma City, the coaches to attend the Coaches’ Clinic in Tulsa, and the career tech teachers to attend their annual conference in Oklahoma City. Plus approval was given for Mrs. Lewis to attend the Na-tional ACTE Convention in December with related costs

Does this sound familiar?Got Up & Went

When I was young, my slippers were red; I could kick up my heels right over my head.

When I was older my slippers were blue, But still I could dance the whole night through.

Now I am old, my slippers are black. I huff to the store and puff my way back.The reason I know my youth is all spent? My get-up-and-go has got up and went!

But I really don’t mind when I think with a grin, And think of the grand places my getup has been!

Since I have retired from life’s competition,I busy myself with complete repetition.I get up each morning, dust off my wits, Pick up the paper, and read the Obits.

If my name is missing, I know I’m not dead, So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed!

—CC— A better mousetrap has not yet been invented but there is

some good news . . . a better band-aid may soon be avail-able.

Ripping off a band-aid is so unpleasant it’s proverbial. But for certain patients, it’s also dangerous. Premature newborns and the elderly have fragile skin, and yanking away bandages and medical tape can lead to serious irritation, injuries, or even permanent scarring. In fact, each year, medical adhesives cause an estimated 1.5 million injuries in the U.S. alone.

“This is a problem that all neonate doctors and nurses are aware of,” says Jeffrey Karp, a professor at Harvard Medical School. “They are desperately awaiting new adhesives that fi rmly secure devices to skin without damage.” That’s why Karp and his lab are working on an innovation to make bandage removal less eventful.

Traditional medical tape is simply an adhesive affi xed to a backing, but Karp’s invention features a unique middle layer that is anti-adhesive. By forming a sandwich around this spe-cial layer, the backing can be easily separated from the sticky side. In fact, to get the perfect balance of adhesiveness and anti-adhesiveness, Karp’s team tailors the middle layer using lasers. When it’s time to pull the bandage away, it pops right off. All that’s left is a small amount of residue that can be covered with baby power or simply rolled off the skin.

Karp’s tape isn’t his only innovation in adhesive technol-ogy – he made headlines in 2008 with a surgical bandage that mimicked the microscopic scales on gecko feet. The sticky surface allowed bandages to hold fast in tricky areas, includ-ing the wet tissues of the heart and the lung. Even better, the biodegradable sealant disintegrates over time, meaning that unlike sutures or traditional medical tape, doctors never have to go back in to remove it.

If Karp’s pain-free bandages pan out as well as his earlier breakthrough, future generations of patients will need a new metaphor for getting something over with quickly.

—CC—I am thinking about doing some landscaping. I can’t de-

cide if I want to plant a “bottle tree” or purchase some pink fl amingos . . . although I am leaning toward the bottle tree . . .

It’s the ultimate in low-maintenance landscaping: a tree that blooms all year long, needs no water or pruning and never dies.

Sales of man-made “bottle trees” are fl ourishing among ho-meowners wanting something more interesting in the garden than a birdbath or gnome. Styles vary, but most trees are crafted from steel with branches capped by colorful empty bottles.

The trees have long been a fi xture of rural Southern yards and in Caribbean island communities, where property owners commonly decorate real—but dead—trees with bottles.

The manufactured versions, which can be short or tall, are popping up everywhere from New York to Alaska. Many are handcrafted by people who are into welding and are sold on websites such as thebottletreeman.com and bottletreecreations.com. Gardener’s Supply Co. says bottle trees made in India are one of its top sellers in garden decor, a category that has been growing 15% annually, the company says.

“Bottle trees are the modern pink fl amingo,” says Felder Rushing, a garden author in Jackson, Mississippi, who is writing a book about the trees. “People are bored of the plantings we have. And you can only have so many naked goddess statues out there.”

Bottle trees have their shortcomings. They can blow over if they aren’t anchored well. And bottles must be positioned carefully on branches so they don’t collect rain. And the trees aren’t necessarily pest-resistant: “You’ll get caterpillars going inside the bottles to make cocoons,” says Jerry Swanson of Princeton, Wisconsin, whose bottle trees are now standing in 34 states.

Some landscape architects wish the bottle tree trend would stay where its roots are.

“They have their place in Southern culture, but usually they risk looking totally tacky and like someone’s leftover party binge,” says Susan Cohan, a residential landscape designer in Chatham, New Jersey. “It’s a country gardeners’ thing. Not

something I’d ever want or recommend for my clients.”

Others liken the manufac-tured versions to fake Christ-mas trees. “There’s something soulless about buying them over the Internet,” says Mar-gie Grace, principal of Grace Design Associates Inc. in Santa Barbara, California, who adds, “there is room for folk art, but this is faux art.” For non-Southerners to erect a bottle tree can seem inauthen-tic, she says.

Buyers aren’t deterred. Last week Sheila Cerjanec bought a design with wavy branches called the “Storm Tree” for $135 from bottletreebob.com and plans to erect it promi-nently outside her Madison, Connecticut, home. Ms. Cer-janec, 61, became interested after reading the book “On Folly Beach,” where bottle trees play a prominent role in the South Carolina narrative.

“It’s going to be a focal point in the yard,” Ms. Cerjanec says.

Bottle-tree tradition is be-lieved to have originated in Northern Africa where they hung glass orbs outside of dwellings to help deter or trap spirits, according to Mr. Rushing. The practice came to the Southern U.S. in part via the slave trade and other immigrants and became an inexpensive, colorful form of décor in poorer Southern com-munities, he says.

The t rees have rea l ly branched out. At the Mondrian Hotel on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, there’s a live 150-year-old Brazilian Pepper tree adorned with Italian wine bottles. The North Carolina Botanical Garden features a

bottle tree dressed with small apothecary bottles.At the Taste of Alaska Lodge in Fairbanks, the owners erected

multiple eight-foot bottle trees around the property, decorat-ing them with antique bottles. Some recent German guests left empty wine and beer bottles at the base of a tree as an apparent homage. “We just threw them out,” owner Kory Eberhardt says, referring to the bottles.

In residential settings, the trees have outgrown their supersti-tious roots. Last year, Bill Lipsey, who manufactures cotton gin machinery in Sunfl ower, Mississippi, sold $200,000 worth of hand-made trees and empty colored bottles on his website, bottletree.com, he says.

“I don’t think anyone believes in the [evil spirit] thing,” he says. “It just gives it a little historical fl air and makes it a conversation piece when sitting out with friends cooking and

drinking a glass of wine.”Rick and Brenda Watts of

Watson, Arkansas, like to give bottle trees as Christmas presents. Mr. Watts, 57, and

his wife bought four trees and kept one for themselves. It took them a month around the holidays to “collect the leaves,” Mr. Watts says, which

were 20 bottles, including some from their wine-club membership as well as a Glen-livet 18-year-old Scotch and Sapporo beer bottles.

“I knew nothing about the history,” says Mr. Watts, who wired his tree with lights pro-grammed to go on at dusk. “The aesthetics got me.”

Still, he was tickled when the bottle tree’s manufacturer, Dudley Pleasants, entertained him with bottle-tree lore and performed his “Delta Blues” blessing on the tree when he picked it up.

Mr. Pleasants, who makes his trees in Greenwood, Mis-sissippi, says he’s selling about three trees a week. “I figured it was a fad,” Mr. Pleasants says of the trees, which he started selling in 1990. “Now it’s a tradition, with people buying them for their children as a house-warming gift.”

Nicki Henderson of Biloxi, Mississippi, recently erected a bottle tree in an azalea bed for her four-year-old grandson, Glandon, to decorate. She also purchased a case of bottles for the occasion.

“My husband and I don’t imbibe,” she explains, “and I didn’t want to stick mayo jars on it.”

Gwendolyn BoundsWall Street Journal—CC—

And speaking of landscap-ing, Ruth Kohl shared the following . . .

After buying our new home, we landscaped it. Since this was my husband’s first at-tempt to plant a tree, he was careful to do the job right. He prepared the soil, put in a sprinkler system and waited. Finally, after work, on a day when the weather was ex-actly right, he seeded the lawn, rolled it and watered it – finishing by artificial light because it got so late.

For the next three weeks he watered the lawn daily, often rushing home at noon to run the sprinklers for an hour. He fussed over it, shooed away bids and our cat, and looked or the first blade of grass to peek through. Except for a few weeds, nothing happened.

Then one Saturday morn-ing my husband came in and announced sheepishly, “I just found the sack of grass seed – in the garage.”

“What in the world did you plant?” I asked.

With a sigh, he replied, “Kitty Litter.”

Filling Classes for July 23 and August 6

I think I am fascinated by words. A phrase or a group of words wilt get me to wondering how they came into being. Today the words ‘a pair of pants’ popped into my mind. How did ‘one pair of jeans’, or ‘one pair of trou-sers’, come into being? A pair of pants has two legs. Is that where the phrase came from? The dictionary explains it is ‘two items of the same kind together.’ Well, yes, there are two legs on a pair of trousers or a pair of jeans, or a pair of pants, so I can accept that.

Andy Rooney was a guy who was fascinated by words and just about any subject you could mention. He wrote two books, each of which covered 128 subjects. He could probably write another

book about just as many more subjects if he had lived longer. He had an opinion on everything and could talk on any word or subject that you could bring up. (Why did he write two books with exactly 128 subjects each?)

Here are some words that caused me to do some re-search on. Almost is the lon-gest commonly used word in the English language with all the letters in alphabetical order. Asthma and Isthmi are the only six-letter words that begin and end with a vowel and they have no other vowels between. Four is the only word whose number of letters in the word equals the number. One thousand con-tains the letter A but none of the words from one to nine hundred ninety nine has an A. Rhythm is the longest English word without the vowels, a, e, i, o, or u.

Some other interesting facts: Every year, kids in North America spend close to half a million dollars on chewing gum. In 1897, Bay-er, who is the maker of Aspi-

rin, once marketed the drug heroin. Retail sales for soft drinks in the United States each year are more than sixty million dollars. In France it is illegal for a person to kiss

another on a railway. Sales of antacids increase by as much as 20% the day after the Sugar Bowl.

These are facts that most of us will never think about again, however I will contin-ue to add to my collection.

Willadean DeBusk, with her great-great-granddaughter and other family members, celebrated her 88th birthday on June 30, 2013. The five generations present were Mrs. DeBusk, Linda Lawrence, Brian Lawrence Sr., Brian Lawrence Jr., and Miss Annabella Lawrence.

Annabella Lawrence is the 4-month-old daughter of Brian and Tabathia (Bean) Lawrence, the great-granddaughter of Pastor Jim and Linda Lawrence. Annabella is the first girl born to Pastor Jim’s family since 1946.

Pastor Lawrence has been the pastor of the Calvin Free Will Baptist Church for 30-years.

Those present for the celebration were Brian, Tabathia and Miss Annabella Lawrence of Ada; and Brian, Amber, Johnny, Casey and James Lawrence, Darrin, Dawn and Chase Lawrence, and Pastor Jim and Linda Lawrence, all of Calvin.

Linda Lawrence hosted the celebration.

bids for 2013-14. Two milk bids and three breads bids had been submitted and, after careful review, the bids submitted by the Al-len Food Center were approved for the 2013-14 school year.

Final actions of the evening were the transfer of monies from the Extended Day Program into the General Fund, and approval of several policy updates.

Allen school boardfrom Page 1

Letha Mae (Moore) Whit-low, an old school buddy of mine from Centrahoma men-tioned to me that her mom used bluing on her as a medi-cine but she had forgotten just what it was. I explained to her that “Bluing” was used for sores, bites, stings and rashes. Bluing’s main use was as a whiting agent in laundry. Back before washing machines were common blu-ing was added to the second rinse. It caused the whites to appear whiter and the col-ors to be brighter. As noted above, the bluing was used as a cure all—added to bath water or foot soaks.

Bluing is still on the market as “Bluette” and its active in-gredient is Prussian Blue aka Ferric cyanide. I can remem-ber Letha sitting on the front porch of Moore’s Grocery in Centrahoma soaking her foot for the best part of a day. I sat with her to keep her company. That just goes to show that there wasn’t all that much to

do in Centrahoma in 1941. One thing that sends my

mind racing back in time is the fact that July 19th marked my wife’s 55th wedding an-niversary. Well—mine too, I suppose. We were married one hot evening in the First Baptist Church of Latta by a Stonewall boy named Duane Riley. I guess he tied us pretty tight as the thing has lasted this long. My wife wished me a happy anniversary that morning before breakfast, thinking that I had prob-ably forgotten it—again. Of course I hadn’t forgotten it but I had forgotten to get a card or gift. It was a welcome relief to remember that we do have a dollar store now where a big spender like me can fi nd an appropriate gift for a 55th. They have cards too. Cheap ones.

Donny Johnson has been heard to say; “Marriage is like

a hot bath, it ain’t so hot once you’ve been in it awhile.” Well, I’ve certainly learned enough about marriage the past 55 years that I could probably get a license as a marriage counselor.

First of all a man has to re-member that a woman loves to be of service to her man. She is offended if you jump up out of your recliner to get something when all you have to do is tell her what you want. She enjoys that and the exer-cise is good for her health. If she happens to be way back in the laundry room you have to learn to be patient. Just keep yelling until she hears you. Of course it’s easier for you to just get up and go get your coffee refilled yourself but why give her those feelings of rejection and the fear that she has somehow failed you.

Another “slap in the face” by today’s women is for a

man to butt in on her house-keeping. A husband rolling a vacuum cleaner is saying by his actions that “the fl oor is dirty and it’s her fault.” You can avoid infl icting this pain on your loved one by leav-ing the vacuum in the closet. Never touch a dust cloth. That’s just another faux pas. And how foolish is the man who jumps up after a good meal to load dishes in the dishwasher. It is yet another painful and cynical attack on her ability to serve you.

One sticky point is yard work. This one is real tricky. Unless you are sick or would just prefer not to do it, keep her off your lawnmower. This is a man’s job. Her motivation might be in question if she is

seen mowing while you, the master of the house, is laying on the porch enjoying a cold drink and reading. However, a note in your church’s bul-letin about a sore back, neck or perhaps unexplained chest pains relieves you of most work outdoors and any re-proach from your male friends who may have thought you were just showing off. If you want to keep ‘em guessing ask the pastor to insert a prayer re-quest by you for an “unspoken request.” You don’t have to explain anything—not even to the pastor.

For my “spoken request” let me wish you all a good week-end during this most pleasant summer and don’t forget to go to church this Sunday.

Wayne Bullard, [email protected]

At a recent funeral here in Allen, the preacher correctly emphasized the fact that Jesus said “unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3) Did not Jesus mean that we cannot be saved and forgiven of sins if we are not “born again?” Some-times people speak of “born again Christians.” From Jesus’ statement, it would seem that there is not any other kind of Christian. If one is not “born again,” he/she is not a Chris-

tian. Like Nicodemus, many peo-

ple wonder how they can be born again. Jesus explained saying, “unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” (John 3:5) How can one be born “of water and the Spirit?” The Apostle Peter gives us some insight when he wrote, “you have purifi ed your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit,… having been born again, not of cor-ruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever.” (1 Peter 1:22-23) As in every new birth, it starts with the planting of seed and Peter plainly says that the seed that leads to a person being born again is the word of God. If we would be born again, we must receive, believe and obey the word of God, which is given to us by the Holy Spirit. (2 Peter 1:21)

Having received the words

(the seed) of the Holy Spirit, we will obey the Spirit by be-ing baptized (in water) with Christ where we bury our old sinful man and arise to “walk in newness of life.” (Rom 6:3-4) When we sincerely from the heart (Romans 6:17) believe and obey the words of the Spirit, we will repent, thus “dying to sin.” (Romans 6:2) To die to sin means to separate from sin and in being baptized, we bury the old sinful man and it is then that we arise to “walk in newness of life.” (Romans 6:3-4) Surely when we “walk in newness of life” we have been “born again.”

Will you not receive, believe and obey the Spirit’s words and separate yourself from sin? And, will you not be baptized; burying your old man of sin with your savior, Jesus Christ and then arise to walk in new-ness of life? The Holy Spirit, through the holy word, pleads with each of us to not harden our hearts, but to hear and obey and be born again. (Hebrews 3:7-8)

Sunday we worshiped the Lord and thanked Him for the rain He has sent this week. God knows what we need and He will provide.

Bro. Larry was not here this week, so Lowell Churchill from Henryetta preached for him. Kaylene and Lowell pa-stored here 37 years ago and we have fond memories of them and their children. Low-ell retired from the Henryetta church this year and has been having heart problems. It is

a miracle from God that he is still alive.

Our special for the day, “ This is Just What Heaven Means to Me”, was sung by Linda and David Cranfield. We are always glad to have them in our services.

Bro. Churchill’s sermon was taken from John 9, where Jesus healed the blind man. Jesus said that his blindness was caused so that the work of God might be displayed in his life. Bro. Lowell said that we must

pray daily and mention the name of those that are in need of prayer. Be specifi c in your prayers. God listens and He will answer. Bro. Churchill is a perfect example of how God can heal. God had a plan for his life just as he had a plan for the blind man. We must do the work of the Lord while we are here on earth.

We invite you to attend ser-vices with us. You will receive a blessing. . .

Atwood Church of the Nazarene

By the time this paper comes out, our Vacation Bible School will almost be over. Drive by the church on Friday after-noon, though, and if you see a roller coaster stop in and enjoy the last day of Bible School festivities. Of course if you don’t see a roller coaster you’re welcome to join the festivities anyway.

Joyce Searcy sang “He Gave His Life’s Blood” as the special music selection this Sunday. I think of this as one of her sig-nature songs, and it was good

to hear her sing it again. If I heard someone else sing it on the radio it just wouldn’t sound quite right.

Rev. Karch’s message was taken from Genesis 6:4-22, Genesis 7:16-23, and Matthew 24:35-44. Even as early as the 6th chapter of Genesis the world had become so evil that God was sorry he had ever created people. Unfortunately, when you read today’s headlines it doesn’t look as if humans have improved much.

Noah, however, did find

favor with God. His faith was great and when God directed him to build a huge ark, he worked on it for over a hundred years. God had told him that He would send the animals that would be on the ark with him. (I’m sure Noah was re-lieved that he didn’t have to go round them all up.) And sure enough, when the ark was fi nished the animals began to appear and board the ark.

God wants us to do great and mighty things, too, and if we follow God’s directions with the kind of faith that Noah had we can.

At this point the people who had ridiculed Noah and his family for building the ark must have begun to sense that life as they knew and enjoyed it was about to change drasti-cally. Then when the animals and Noah and his family were safely aboard, God himself shut the door of the ark.

As the rain kept coming down and the floodwaters rose the people outside the ark wanted in, but the door was already closed, and they could not get in.

Many years later, Jesus re-ferred to Noah and the ark when he warned that the earth will one day come to an end. He wants us to have the kind of faith that keeps us always ready to meet God no matter which day the world ends. Those who are not ready will have to face the same judgment that everyone except Noah and his family faced, and it will come upon them just as sud-denly.

Christians are not completely ready either if they haven’t done their best to be sure that each family member and each person they know has trusted Jesus as their savior.

Source of Drinking Water

The sources of drinking water (both tap water andbottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams,ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As watertravels over the surface of the land or through theground, it dissolves naturally-occurring mineralsand, in some cases, radioactive material, and canpickup substances resulting from the presence ofanimals or from human activity.Contaminants that may be present in source waterinclude:- Microbial contaminants, such as viruses andbacteria, which may come from sewage treatmentplants, septic systems, agricultural livestockoperations, and wildlife.

- Inorganic contaminants, such as salts andmetals, which can be naturally-occurring or resultfrom urban storm water runoff, industrial ordomestic wastewater discharges, oil and gasproduction, mining, or farming.

- Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from avariety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses.

- Organic chemical contaminants, includingsynthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which areby-products of industrial processes and petroleumproduction, and can also come from gas stations,urban storm water runoff, and septic systems.

- Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gasproduction and mining activities.

Immuno-compromised persons such as persons withcancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who haveundergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDSor other immune system disorders, some elderly andinfants can be particularly at risk frominfections.
