East Hardy’s Tyler Kerr finished his high school football career at Laidley Field in Charleston com- peting in the North-South All-Star Game. Kerr, who has committed to play football at Concord University, showed his skill at defending the quarterback and creating havoc for the South's offense which only scored in the second quarter. Kerr was joined on the North squad by two Potomac Valley Con- ference players, Trent Moats and Tyler Gardiner of Pendleton Co. The South won the game 14-12, escaping from a potential game- winning field goal in the waning sec- onds. Kerr formed new friendships and enjoyed his overall experience of the North-South All-Star festivi- ties, sharing his thoughts after the contest with WV Gazette's Rick Ryan.

*Sodium is an unregulated contaminant. Our sodium level does not exceed the guidance MCL. Anyone having a concern over sodium should contact their primary health care provider. WE ARE PLEASED TO REPORT THAT THE MOOREFIELD MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM MET ALL FEDERAL AND STATE WATER STANDARDS FOR 2010. Additional Information All other water test results for the reporting year 2010 were all non-detects. Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness in water. We monitor it because it is a good measure of the effectiveness of our filtration system. 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 Town of Moorefield is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of mate- rials 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 drinking water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking wa- ter, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available for the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. This report will not be mailed. A copy will be provided to you upon request at our of- fice during regular business hours. 6/29 1c ------LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS Deadline is Fridays at Noon.
