On November 10 Ken Wallo and Holly Ryan shut the siphon valve that was being used to lower Pines Lake for dredging, bulkhead repairs, and weed control. I was positioned downstream of the valve as Ken closed the valve off. As Ken turned the valve wheel down lowering the valve plate, the velocity out the pipe got higher and higher til Ken was hosing me broadside at the waist. It was all I could do to keep from getting hosed off the rock I was on before I was able to get out of the line of fire.
