Heiser named interim director of YMCA


BY STEPHEN DOW
stephen@buffalobulletin.com

The YMCA is constantly bustling, according to Executive


Director Mike Quast. Thats likely not going to change even
though the organization will be without an executive director for
a few months after Quasts departure July 7 for a job in Aberdeen,
South Dakota.
The YMCA board needed to find somebody who could ensure
that daily operations would keep running smoothly while it search-
es for a new executive director.
On June 29, the board announced that Gillian Heiser who
has worked for the past three years as the organizations associate
executive director would serve as interim director. According to
Quast, it was the perfect choice.
Ive worked with Gill during my entire time here as a director
and have always appreciated all the work shes done, Quast said.
Whether shes helping people register for swim lessons, working
at the front desk or helping me with budgeting, shes always done
a phenomenal job. I know she will be great for this position.
YMCA board president Daryl George agreed that Heiser was the
perfect fit for the job.
Gill has terrific leadership skills to move the YMCA forward
during this transition period, Heiser said. She is knowledgeable
about the YMCA and able to lead with an orientation toward ful-
filling YMCAs mission.

Biking the Mickelson Trail
By Ben Ramsey
ben@buffalobulletin.com

Talking to Pat Peck and Joyce Gammon both


retired about their ride down the Mickelson Trail
in the Black Hills of South Dakota is like talking to
someone and hearing their inner monologue at the
same time. The two have a lot to say about the bik-
ing trail they had planned to ride for months, and
they dont mind sharing it at the same time.
We went over lots of bridges, Gammon said.
Lots of bridges, Peck said, overlapping
Gammons words.
Over little tiny creeks, Gammon continued.
Some of them were pretty long, Peck said, still
talking over Gammon. Some of them were way up
above the highway, remember that one?
Drop-offs, Gammon said.
I said look down there, Peck said.
I said no way, Gammon interjected.
Were really high! Peck said.
The two biked the full 109-mile trail, which
reaches from Edgemont to Deadwood, over two
days in June, and they are happy to share their take
on the old railway.
Their timing, for instance, was great. Gammon
and Peck saw wildflowers, their ride surrounded by
lush foliage that adorned the trail from Deadwood to
Hill City. Over the first half of the trail, they crossed
the aforementioned bridges. According to South
Dakotas Game, Fish and Parks Department, there
are more than 100 converted railroad bridges on the
trail and four rock tunnels. Bulletin photo by Ben Ramsey

in those hills was amazing, Gammon said. I think
the technology they had was steam shovels,
Though Edgemont is the de-facto start of
the trail, riding it from Deadwood south is more
downhill, which is why Peck and Gammon chose
that direction.

Annual Drinking Water Quality Report
City of Buffalo Water Treatment plant 2016

Is my water safe?
We are pleased to present this year's Annual Water Quality Report (Consumer Confidence Report) as required
by the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). This report is designed to provide details about where your water
comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to standards set by regulatory agencies. This report is a
snapshot of last year's water quality. We are committed to providing you with information because informed
customers are our best allies.

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 drinking water from
their health care providers. EPA/Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen
the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Water
Drinking Hotline (800-426-4791). no

Where does my water come from?


Clear Creek Drainage

Source water assessment and its availability


Avalable @ City Hall or water treatment plant

Why are there contaminants in my drinking 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 (EPA) Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). 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:
microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, that 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 storm water runoff, industrial, or domestic wastewater dis-
charges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming; pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety
of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water 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 storm water runoff, and septic systems; and radioac-
tive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activi-
ties. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of cer-
tain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations
establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

Additional Information for Lead


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 Buffalo Water Treatment Plant is responsible for providing high quality drinking
water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sit-
ting 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 Quality Data Table


In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of con-
taminants in water provided by public water systems. The table below lists all of the drinking water contami-
nants that we detected during the calendar year of this report. Although many more contaminants were tested,
only those substances listed below were found in your water. All sources of drinking water contain some natu-
rally occurring contaminants. At low levels, these substances are generally not harmful in our drinking water.
Removing all contaminants would be extremely expensive, and in most cases, would not provide increased
protection of public health. A few naturally occurring minerals may actually improve the taste of drinking water
and have nutritional value at low levels. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing
done in the calendar year of the report. The EPA or the State requires us to monitor for certain contaminants
less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not vary significantly from year
to year, or the system is not considered vulnerable to this type of contamination. As such, some of our data,
though representative, may be more than one year old. In this table you will find terms and abbreviations that Publish: July 6, 2017 17-0197
might not be familiar to you. To help you better understand these terms, we have provided the definitions below
the table.

Cast away By Ben Ramsey


ben@buffalobulletin.com

Water levels are coming down across the Bighorn Mountains, and
the fish are biting. According to Luke Todd of the Sports Lure, now is
a great time to throw attractor flies and spinner lures.
Also, it might be a good time for a fish fry. Todd says the brook
trout are out, overstocked and ready to bite.
The waters are clearing up, and if you can find spots that arent
running so fast, things are doing well in the streams, Todd said.
You want eddies and pools look for placid water and have at it.
Still too cold for the really high passes, but for the most part, the
mountain is open and ready for business, Todd said.
With alpine areas clearing of snow quickly up to around 10,500
feet places such as Lake Angeline might be a good way to get in
some primo early-season fishing.
Right now, the fish are real opportunistic, Todd said.
Now is the time to be in a catch-and-eat state of mind for brook-
ies, the fresher the better.
Trout dont freeze well, Todd said.
So he likes them rolled in potato flakes and fried in olive oil. Pull
the fins off, leave the skin on, and pick the meat off the bone after

The pitch that got (Larkins) out of the game was a full count.
Trenton Whipple got on base and put him out of the game with two

Sunday was the final day of the tournament, and the Bulls faced
Newcastle again.
Everything we hit was right at someone. It was just one of
those days, Bangs said. We got to that championship game and
everyone hit, but everyone hit right at somebody.
Newcastle led 4-1 going into the sixth inning, then pulled away
to win 10-1. After focusing on the state championship all season,
the loss was tough for the Bulls to take.
The losses never got to them (during the season.) They always
had a bigger prize in mind, Bangs said. They would come to
practice and work on what they failed on. It hurt them bad to
lose in that game. They wanted it, and I probably wanted it for
them more than they will ever know. But Im just proud as can be
of those guys. They came together as a group and worked their
butts off.
There is speculation that some Bulls players will play with
Newcastle in the upcoming regional tournament, though that has
not been confirmed.
