Alyson, Amanda Michalka to perform at Wild Adventures
Special to the Journal
Alyson and Amanda
Michalka, according to a
release, cannot remember
a time when they were not
singing and performing, first
in church and school plays
and then forming their own
band by the time Amanda
was just nine.
Haven’t heard of them?
That’s because the teen
sensations go by Aly & AJ
and they’re bringing the pop
and rock to Wild Adventures
Saturday.
Success, according to the
release, has been a heady
experience for the girls, who
have taken Radio Disney
and the Disney Channel by
storm.
Aside from their debut
album, Into the Rush,
going platinum, the duo
has appeared in and sang
for many movie and tele
vision productions and
soundtracks.
Both are also accomplished
actresses, with several pro
When is foot surgery necessary?
Pain associated with

deformities or
pathologies fall in one of
two categories acute pain or
chronic pain.
Pain is a symptom that
lets the body know that
something is wrong with
either the joints, tendons,
bones, ligaments, nerves or
other soft tissue within the
foot and ankle.
Other related deformities
that can also cause pain
stem largely from injuries
such as sprains and frac
tures.
Poor alignment of the foot
relative to the leg or weight
bearing functions also is a
primary source of foot and
ankle deformities.
Once the pain has been
identified and diagnosed via
X-Ray, MRI or CT scan by
a specialist, such as podia
trist, it must be appropri
ately treated. Treatments
are performed either con
servatively or non-conser
vatively. Conservative treat
ments are non-surgical and

including Aly’s stint as a lead
in the TV show “Phil of the
Future.”
The girls hit the music
scene on a national level in
2005, with the release of
their first album, Into the
Rush. In the same year, they
also recorded hit songs for
two sound tracks. The com
bination of three hits put
them on the most request
ed list at Radio Disney and
a career was born. Songs
such as “Rush,” “Chemicals
React,” “Greatest Time of
Year” and “Whoa” have not
only appeared on the main
stream charts, but have also
found slots on Contemporary
Christian stations.
Aly & AJ are both very
open about their faith and
say that their music comes
from a Christian perspec
tive.
“Potential Break-up Song,”
a single released in 2007 won
critical acclaim from Time
magazine, as it was named
one of the “Ten Best Songs
The foot doc

usually is the first line of
defense against pain.
Such treatment utilizes
padding, strapping, medi
cations, injections, change
in insoles and shoes, and
physical therapy exercises.
If conservative treat
ments fail over a period of
time other non-conservative
treatments can be imple
mented such as surgical cor
rections which are usually
the last line of treatments.
We are going to look at
various deformities in the

Aly & AJ are currently
working on a new studio
project, set to be released
later this year or next and
have a few television and

Most common presenta

as corns, calluses, lesions,
blisters, swelling, pain in
shoe gears or even as an
infection.
Common causes of fore
foot injuries include ill
fitting shoes such as high
heeled shoes and steel-toe
boots, genetic links to foot
deformities, sports related
injures including repeti

is often acute in nature
and for the most part will
require a prompt diagnosis
and treatment.
More common bone relat
ed forefoot deformities are
bunions, hammertoes, curly
toes, overlapping toes, stress
fractures, turf toes. Soft tis

2007 Water Quality Report
Your water meets all state and federal regulations
This brochure is a snapshot of the quality of the water we
provided during the year 2007. Included are details about
where your water comes from, what it contains, and how
it compares to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
standards. We are committed to providing you with the
information because we want you to be informed. For more
information about your water contact Michael Burch, Water
Operations Manager 478-328-4400.
Special Population Advisory
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/
Center For Disease Control guidelines on how to lessen the
risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial
contaminants are available from the .Safe Drinking Water
Hotline 800-426-4791.
Drinking Water Sources
Your water comes from Cretaceous Sand Aquifer-known
as the Tuscaloosa Group, which is a classification of rock
formation in the aquifer. Source water assessment information
may be obtained from Georgia Geologic Department. Call
Don Shellenberger at 404-463-3948.
Some areas of Warner Robins are serviced utilizing
water produced by Houston County, Georgia. Information
regarding the quality of water produced by both Warner
Robins and Houston County is included in this 2007 Water
Quality Report.
Public Participation Opportunities
Our City Council meets the first and third Monday of
each month at 6:00 p.m. at the City Hall. Your participatio is
welcome at these meetings.
Contaminants in 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 Safe Drinking Water Hotline
800-426-4791.
Terms and Abbreviations:
• AL: Action Level - the concentration of a contaminant
which, when exceeded, triggers treatment or other
requirements that a water system must follow.
• MCLG: Maximum Contaminant Level Goal - 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.
• MCL: Maximum Contaminant Level - the highest level
of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs

* Infants and young children are typically more vunerable to lead in drinking water than the general population. It is
possible that lead levels at your home may be higher than at other homes in the community as a result of materials used in
your home’s plumbing. When water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by'
flushing your lap from 30 seconds to two minutes before using water for cooking or drinking. If you are concerned about
elevated lead levels in your home’s water, you may wish to have you water tested. Additional information is available from
the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

The sources or 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 can pick up substances resulting from the
presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants
that may be present in source water before we treat it
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-occurring or result from urban stormwater
runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and
gas production, mining or farming,
• Pesticides & herbicides, which may come from a variety
of sources such as agriculture and residential use.
• Radioactive contaminants, which are naturally occurring.
• Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic
and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of
industrial processes and petroleum production, and also can
come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic
systems.
Water quality monitoring
To ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes
regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants
in water provided by public water systems. We treat our
water according to EPA’s regulations. Food and Drug
Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants
in bottled water, which must provide the same protection for
public health.
Water Quality Data
The table in this report litst all the drinking water
contaminants we detected during the 2007 calendar year
unless otherwise noted. The presence of these contaminants
in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water
poses a health risk. The state requires 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. Some of the data,
though representative of the water quality, is more than one
year old.
