Fire ravages Dollar General

PortÊ HenryÊ businessÊ guttedÊ byÊ smoke and flames

By Pete DeMola and Keith Lobdell pete@suncommunitynews.com

PORT HENRY — Authorities are investigating the cause of a fire that caused considerable damage to the Dollar General on Main Street Tuesday night.

Employees were cashing out shortly after closing on Tuesday when they smelled smoke.

“They ran out of the building and called 911,” said Essex County Emergency Services Coordinator Don Jaquish.

The call came in at 10:20 p.m.

Jaquish said the two employees quickly determined the fire was “beyond their ability to control.”

Authorities had the conflagration largely extinguished before midnight. But the night continued to be punctuated by the sound of breaking glass as firefighters smashed windows to extinguish minor flare-ups as Main Street was lit up with flashing lights all the way up the hill and beyond.

Port Henry Deputy Mayor Matthew Brassard described the fire as, “a horrible loss to the village and town of Moriah.”

“The Dollar General was one of the best things to come into this town,” Brassard said. “It allows many people a place to >> See FIRE | pg. 22

TICONDEROGA — When you are operating a runaway truck, the safety of others may be the last thing on your mind.

However, that appears to not to be the case as a 33-year-old operator working out of Porters Corners made a decision that is being lauded by local emergency responders.

According to Ticonderoga Police Chief Mark Johns, Grover Dake, Jr., who works for his father at Grover Dake Trucking, was driving a 1995 Western State rig heading east-

bound on Route 74 around 7:45 a.m. on the morning of Thursday, May 5, as he reached the top of Chilson Hill carrying a load of logs.

As he started down the sharp embankment, Dake was unable to downshift, a maneuver to slow down the engine in order to slow down the rig.

“At this point, he started coasting down the hill because he was not able to get the truck back into gear,” Johns said. “He tried to rely on his brakes, but they heated to the point they became ineffective.”

Witnesses said Dake was doing his best to alert traffic ahead of him, using his air horn as much as he could and flashing his lights to let people know he was out of control. Fortunately, drivers were able to get out of the way >> See ACCIDENT | pg. 12

Lake George Association awarded $1,000 from Stewart’s Holiday Match Holiday Match supports programs for children LAKE GEORGE — Recognizing the importance of the Floating Classroom in reaching and teaching Lake George area students, Stewart’s Shops has awarded the Lake George

Association $1,000 to be used to support the LGA’s flagship educational program.

The Lake George Association’s Floating Classroom is a oneof-a-kind educational field trip for teachers and students.

The program is provided by the Lake George Association to schools in the watershed free of charge–because of donations from organizations like Stewart’s Holiday Match–and offers students and teachers the opportunity to learn about the environment of Lake George with hands-on experiments and

sampling in the field.

“This donation is so important to the Floating Classroom’s future,” said Kristen Rohne, the Lake George Association’s Director of Education. “It is because of companies like Stewart’s that we can provide this important educational resource to schools around the Lake George watershed for free. Our goal for the Floating Classroom is to support STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education with regard to water resources and spark ideas and discussion on why the Lake George Association and its members are protecting the Lake now and why we need to protect it in the future.”

According to the Stewart’s Holiday Match program, the fund was able to raise more than $1.74 million in 2015–half given by Stewart’s customers, and half donated by the company. The money was raised between Thanksgiving and Christmas 2015.

Like the Lake George Association – where all the money they collect through memberships, donations and sponsors stays in the Lake George watershed to focus on projects from Ticonderoga to Lake George–Stewart’s uses the money it raises and donates through the Holiday Match program to help children in its communities.

Medicaid taxi solution in the works through ACAP Agency hopes to partner with Essex County to provide fleet of volunteer drivers

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Following widespread reports of a Medicaid taxi industry run amok, a local nonprofit has proposed a possible solution: Adirondack Community Action Programs aims to partner with Essex County to provide transport for Medicaid patients.

As opposed to the unregulated industry that sprouted when the state took over transport from the county in 2012, ACAP’s volunteer drivers would be vetted and required to undergo stringent training requirements The Essex County Transportation Department would then fill in the gaps with their own service.

That’s the plan ACAP proposed to the Essex County Board of Supervisors on Monday.

The nonprofit is in the process of applying to the state health department to be a Medicaid transport provider. If approved, the Elizabethtown-based agency will work with Medical Answering Services, the Syracuse-based dispatch service, to link patients with drivers.

ACAP CEO Alan Jones said the agency will work to duplicate the program in Clinton County.

“We’re looking to build a pool of volunteers with their own vehicles,” said Jones.

Volunteers, who would ideally reside in each of the county’s 18 towns, would receive mileage reimbursement, and possibly meals depending on the time commitment.

While drivers would be covered by their personal car insurance, ACAP’s coverage would extend to them, Jones said.

The agency would be responsible for tracking and billing for the program. Doing so might eliminate the problems haunting the industry, which is largely unregulated.

A meeting between county and state officials last month yielded pervasive reports of abuse, from a lack of fiscal accountability to privacy concerns, traffic accidents and a litany of alleged nefarious criminal actions.

The proposed new program would also work whenever possible to coordinate with existing transportation programs, including the bus service and group rides provided by the Essex County Transportation Department, which is reportedly seeing more patients utilize the option.

“They are putting more and more people on the bus,” Essex County Transportation Director Nancy Dougal told lawmakers.

Jones said he hoped people who need the transport service would migrate to their services.

But like the controversial existing program, which was implemented in 2012 following reforms to the state’s Medicaid system, calls would still be routed through MAS. Lawmakers indicated they were receptive to the idea. But a sticking point was the ability to choose the provider. Having the ability to do so is a chief cause for abuse, say officials.

Department of Social Services Commissioner John O’Neill said while he understood the concerns, his office was getting calls from people afraid of utilizing what he referred to as “rogue taxis.”

Jones said MAS would likely facilitate the assignments.

In a perfect world, the dispatch center would only facilitate transport for the patients who couldn’t utilize the county-run service, Dougal said.

Grouping rides, another preferred option, doesn’t seem to be in the cards, Dougal said.

“It would be most effective way to get people to the same

place for less cost,” Dougal said.

Essex County’s annual share of Medicaid taxi costs jumped from $800,000 in 2013 to $2.6 million last year.

While savings would not impact the county’s Medicaid share, which is capped, the program would reduce state and federal expenditures.

“We’re not here to take over anything,” Jones said. “We’re here to partner and provide the best service possible.”

In addition to approval from the state, ACAP also requires permission from their board to move forward with the plan.

Adirondack Community Action Programs has announced a plan to partner with Essex County to provide patient transport to medical appointments. Doing so may reduce Medicaid expenditures and provide an alternative to the Medicaid taxi industry, which has fallen under scrutiny this year following widespread allegations of abuse.

n the world in which we live today, opinions are no longer left at the water cooler, corner bar or on the front porch. The advent of the internet, social media and 24/7 talking heads have perpetuated a growing outlet for an opinionated public. Sadly, it would appear that giving voice to the masses has generated more anger versus providing a relief valve for us to just “get it off our chests.”

In this enlightened age we all should have an opinion and the right to voice that opinion, there is no argument there. But then what?

As a freedom loving people, how can we resolve these disagreements that are growing in our society? Disagreements that range from the simple to the extremely complex and from the most bizarre to the most deadly, a place where bodily harm is committed in the name of being right.

I was always taught the truth was the easiest information to provide as it required nothing but the plain simple facts. It seems to me that we have mastered the ability to shape the truth to fit our purpose so well it then becomes the truth in the minds and hearts of those who crafted it.

There in lies the biggest risk to the freedom we must share. We all want the truth, because in truth is fairness and reality. But when the truth is shaped for public consumption and is built around half truths and personal opinion that is where things go askew.

Once people start accepting and arguing for the shaped version of the truth from an agenda driven perspective, we find ourselves completely lost without any sense of a compass that once always pointed true north.

It is difficult for people who seek the truth to not be deceived when it is provided by a perceived trusted source. But exactly who can be trusted?

Each of us needs to be less accepting of what we hear. Be more willing to respectfully question the source, while relying on the core values we’ve been given and good old basic common sense.

When we only listen to those views that mirror our own we become less likely to be open minded and if we continue down this path as the trend seems to be forecasting, it’s difficult to see how the anger will lessen.

Our search for the truth is what will keep our country strong. Openness, respect for our fellow citizen, fairness, equality to all and acceptance of differing views with a willingness to compromise must continue to be the basis for what we as a nation are all about.

Hail to the chef: Cuisine trail promises to be tasty treat for tourism biz

T

he North Country has always been a fertile breeding ground for ideas.

Not a week goes by where we don’t hear of another new committee, task force or grassroots organization formed to harness the undercurrent of energy crackling through the region.

State and federal officials are quick to note the collaboration, hailing us for working together, for our grit and ambition that matches the mountains that characterize the landscape.

Some ideas fizzle, others never achieve liftoff.

Even fewer translate into organizations with sustained momentum.

That’s why we’re so pumped about the effort underway by a group of Essex County stakeholders to form a regional cuisine trail.

The idea is simple: Leverage our agricultural assets to attract tourism.

The seeds were planted last year by a local civic booster. Following an initial meeting in January to ascertain public interest, the idea rapidly gained momentum. An organizational nucleus was formed. Benchmarks came quick.

And word spread like wildfire.

Progress was so swift, in fact, neighboring counties seized on the concept.

Sign us up, they said.

Talk about a grassroots idea.

Now, four months after that initial meeting, proposed culinary trail routes are in the process of being mapped out in Clinton, Franklin and Essex counties.

Once Albany approves, we have liftoff.

There’s a lot to love about our local food culture: Dairy in Franklin County is second-to-none. Clinton County’s rich apple and maple industry is renowned for quality, while Essex County is home to a new generation of young farmers who are producing enough items to ply your breakfast, lunch and dinner tables with an ever-expanding array of homegrown items.

This isn’t empty calories. Not only is the local food movement here to stay — the idea is no longer relegated to the realm of off-the-grid types — but gastro-tourism, too, is on the rise.

Once an exotic idea limited to foreign shores, the concept is taking root right here in our backyard.

Believe it or not, people will pay to experience what we have to offer.

No other entity is quick to seize on the deep interest in local food production than the state, who has pumped resources into virtually every sector of the agricultural industry, from relaxing restrictions on domestic alcohol production to providing marketing opportunities for even the smallest food producer.

Foodies traveling to the region isn’t just beneficial for farmers, brewers and vineyard owners, but also for the places where they will tucker in and loosen their belts at night.

It’s beneficial for the businesses that may hold events to seize visitor interest — like cooking classes at local farm granges, for instance — and an asset for the retailers and service providers who will benefit from an entirely new cohort of visitors who wouldn’t otherwise visit the region.

And it’s also a boost for our self esteem.

A sense of collective pride is important.

In this business, cynicism comes easy. We’ve seen so many promising ideas limp along, left to languish and make wobbly orbits around the rubber chicken dinner circuit.

But this seems different.

It’s a testament to having an idea and following through.

We’re reminded of a mantra that stemmed from another people-powered project, the Big Tupper Ski Area.

“Those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those doing it.”

Kudos to the engines behind this movement.

The only thing missing from the equation is a unifying regional food — something synonymous to New York’s North Country as the cheesesteak is to Philly. Or the deep dish pizza is to Chicago.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

COMMENTARY

AmbiguityÊ inÊ policy

UseÊ yourÊ voteÊ wisely

To the Editor: I understand the publisher can use his column as he sees fit. I also believe that the editors may write their opinion piece on any subject. I also feel that the paper has the right by ownership to charge a person, any person of any political party, a fee to speak about the good of their candidate.

However, in all fairness, shouldn’t those who want to speak ill of someone’s candidate have to pay the same fees?

I have for the past couple weeks read letters to the editor that have been written about the bad points of federal candidates of the two major parties.

How about a policy that calls for no political letters on candidates or free it up for all.

Win “Chief ” Belanger Willsboro

To the Editor: The political campaigns are zeroing in on conventions, nominations, and subsequent elections. Here is something to ponder as we get closer to the ultimate goal. Let’s travel back in time to 1929. The Great Depression spread havoc throughout the world. This economic disaster brought a giant like America to its knees and plagued many nations in varying degrees.

Each affected nation sought ways to crawl from beneath the weight of this economic collapse.

Fast forward to three years later, 1932. A political outsider known for his fiery speeches promised a renewal to greatness. He promised an economic and social Renaissance as he led this fringe political party (NSDAP). His rhetoric touched a large segment of society and he was voted into power in 1932. By 1933 many of his promises materialized into reality. By 1938 he was named Time Magazine’s “Man of the Year.” Enter Adolf Hitler elected by the people.

Now in 2016 does America possess the same social, political, and economic issues that fanned the flames of extremism back in the 30’s. Maybe not all the issues exist in the same degree, but do some echo the fanatical speeches of another time and place?

In conclusion, do I think America is headed down the identical path to the abyss? Absolutely not, but I sincerely hope that all American voters use the next six months to seriously think about their vote. It’s a powerful tool, use it wisely! Don’t squander it! We have an obligation to vote to enhance the beauty of freedom.

Kenneth Sausa Lake Placid

CountyÊ needsÊ restructuring To the Editor: Recently, there have been discussions in Warren County on the possibility of changing how voters are represented at the county level of government.

As to be expected, there has been significant resistance to the idea from many of the folks who currently represent us at the county. At first glance, the changes proposed would seem to result in a reduction of income for the dual role town supervisors and that voters from the smaller towns would lose influence and be overwhelmed by Queensbury and Glens Falls.

I find the arguments concerning a loss of influence to be meritless.

The proposals being put forward would divide the county into districts of equal population. In one very good proposal put forward to the board, the towns inside the Blue Line would get three of nine total legislators. In this proposal, all residents of Warren County would be equally represented and there would be none of the artificial false equality and political alchemy involved with the “weighted” voting system we have now.

Town supervisors would still be able to make their views known to the legislators and speak at meetings. Also, town supervisor endorsements would be important in county elections.

I think those opposed to these measures are overlooking the benefits we would all receive by having fulltime town supervisors not distracted by and out of office on county business. In keeping with a move to truly fulltime town supervisors, I would support changes in compensation to these officials that would bring their pay and benefits in line with and proportional to other full time elected officials in the towns. That would be money well spent. Please contact your town supervisors and voice your support for the initiatives modifying our county government to conform to the well-established American principles of good government.

WeÕ reÊ killingÊ LakeÊ Champlain To the Editor: What fascination, wonder and joy overtook me when I first met the bays of Lake Champlain in Essex as a young boy. Bluegills and chain pickerel would sun themselves quietly at the mouth of the Library Brook, at least until spooked by a curious boy! Bowfin, gar, pike, bullhead, and perhaps the oddest of all, the sea lamprey (I kept one as a pet for a day or two) were seen on rare occasions. Schools of baby perch stretched out as far as the eye could see. Huge schools of young smelt plied the open waters of the lake, drawing ample schools of perch to the surface to feed. A decent catch of either was common off Begg’s Point in both summer and winter.

Than the state began its massive pesticide dumping program. Yes the sea lamprey died; the American eel did as well and is now gone. The chemical attack has squarely leveled the very base of the natural food web. Fish, such as the sturgeon will not return to dead river deltas. Sewage effluent now trickles into the Library Brook where I once waded in blissful hours of fascination. There’s gunk and oily slime there now. Blue green algae runs rampant during the warmer weeks of summer.

Lake Champlain is a big system. It will take a lot of killing to kill it completely, but we’re doing pretty well. Go try and catch a perch off of Essex now, or anything else that wasn’t stocked; you will see what I mean.

Michael Peden Willsboro

ClintonÊ CountyÊ onÊ theÊ rightÊ trackÊ withÊ connectorÊ path To the Editor: Regarding the article “Village officials discuss proposed extension of recreation path” that appeared in the April 27, 2016 edition: I applaud the efforts of Clinton County to integrate a connector path behind the Rouses Point Civic Center.

Doing so will give all local residents more opportunities to walk, connect with neighbors and climb and play outdoors.

Clinton County is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream, but it is often only tourists who get to enjoy it. Today, one-quarter of county residents report being physically inactive. Developing the path and installing a trail counter to measure residents’ use of it are creative ways to encourage a more active, healthy community.

The work Clinton County is doing—listening to community members’ ideas and concerns, identifying existing resources to modify or build upon and measuring outcomes—should be a model for communities throughout the region and across New York State.

OilÊ trainÊ criticsÊ shouldÊ doÊ moreÊ research To the Editor: Michael Calitri wrote a letter chastising those who oppose “crude oil transport by trains,” urging them to do research “before they shoot the North Country in the foot.” Presumably he had in mind the letter sent by environmental groups and others calling for a ban on Bakken oil trains.

(Although Mr. Calitri referred to “advocates” of crude oil transport, I assume he meant opponents.)

I wish to point out that it is Mr. Calitri who should do more research because his letter contains major factual errors. I also wish to explain why environmentalists in New York and Vermont and citizens all along Lake Champlain and the Hudson River Valley are deeply frightened by and opposed to trains carrying Bakken crude oil from North Dakota.

1. The Bakken oil “bomb trains,” as many have labelled them, run from Montreal to Albany (some with over 100 tankers) as well as from Buffalo to Albany. And from Albany the oil is transported on barges down the Hudson River. It seems Mr. Calitri does not realize that this is no ordinary crude.

It is highly flammable. Yes, the disaster in Lac Mégantic, Quebec was the result of a runaway Bakken oil train, as Mr. Calitri writes, but it was the volatility of the Bakken crude that resulted in a massive explosion, kiling 47 people and decimating a large part of the town. Mr. Caletri says “crude oil in itself is not explosive.” But Bakken crude is highly explosive.

2. Most of the Bakken oil is transported in tank cars known as DOT111s. No one has claimed these are civil war era tank cars, as Mr. Calitri alleges.

Rather, as environmental groups point out, many bridges are of postCivil War era infrastructure. The tank cars, however, designed to carry liquids like corn syrup, not oil, are dangerously prone to puncture. As far back as 1991 the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), warned that “the DOT 111 tanker . . . is too thin to resist puncture during an accident, is vulnerable to tearing, and has exposed fittings and valves that can easily snap off during a rollover..” Informed environmentalists believe an accident in which these tankers would derail and spill the oil into Lake Champlain would be an environmental catastrophe—so great that no insurance company would cover this risk.

3. Mr. Calitri says that transport of crude by train is as safe as air travel.

What evidence does he have for this assertion? There have been at least 13 derailments of Bakken oil trains in the last few years. And environmental groups have documented “more than 250 other oil carrying trains have derailed in the U.S. since 2013.” Many more are predicted.

What New Yorkers get (as well as residents of others states through which the Bakken oil trains pass) is a dreadful risk to lives, towns, fishing, sailing, drinking water, wildlife and tourism. There is no gain for New York. Bakken oil does not stay in New York. It is shipped abroad where it will contribute further to climate change.

4. Mr. Calitri charges that opponents of oil trains have been uninformed, “quick to jump on the bandwagon” and have failed “to look to elected officials.” Not true. Very well informed are the 35 environmental groups in New York and Vermont, 30 elected and appointed officials & community leaders in both states, the Cities of Plattsburgh and Burlington, and a number of businesses who signed onto the letter to 4 Congresspersons and 4 Senators in New York and Vermont calling for a federal legislative ban on the transport of crude oil by train along Lake Champlain and the Hudson River. And they have looked to elected officials—national ones.

Because the bomb trains run in interstate commerce the letter was addressed to our elected representatives to Congress. Local elected officials have no authority over them. Why would the cities of Plattsburgh and Burlington sign on to the letter if they could address the problem themselves?

5. Mr. Calitri mentions a list of other environmental dangers to Lake Champlain. Yes, and Vermont has launched a new Clean Water initiative to address many of them. With a derailment of Bakken oil trains, cleanup initiatives would be in vain.

Little Bits A strange word or two Gordie Little

Columnist

T

hey say, if you can learn one new word every day, your life will be enhanced. I don’t think I’ve ever kept track, but I love words—old ones and new ones.

Here’s one of my favorites: quockerwodger. I’ll give you a little time to chew it, swallow it and digest it. I dare you to try and use it in a proper sentence.

Give up? I hadn’t seen it in print for years until my friend Julie Dowd dropped it on me. I hope she blushes appropriately when she sees it here.

I’ll give you a hint: Pinocchio would know. One definition is, “A politician, one of whose strings of action are pulled by somebody else.” That would fit a number of politicians I have known through the years. Another definition is, “A wooden puppet controlled by a string.”

From what I can determine, quockerwodger originally referred to a marionette operated by a single string attached to the head. It’s loosely-connected arms and legs trembled and wobbled and shook when manipulated.

During the 1800’s, political writers adopted the term to define what they called “pseudo-politicians.” I’ve also seen it as quockwodger. The jury is out on the specific origin, but you can work on that yourself. The earliest published reference I could find was the middle 19th century.

Some have called it a slang word, but I would lobby to insert it into my personal lexicon. Don’t be shocked to see me using it here every chance I can in the future. Say it aloud. Someone in the room with you is bound to think you have dribbled the last of your marbles away. Not me. I like the sound of it. If I were to walk up to some of today’s politicians and call them quockerwodgers to their faces, they might try to file slander lawsuits against me.

Goodness knows there are lots of wooden marionettes in this year’s crop and lots of shady folks trying to hide behind the curtain and pull the strings.

Please don’t misunderstand.

I know many upstanding politicians, but I also eschew mentioning others who consistently sully the field. That makes me think of some more fun words that aren’t used much these days: blackguard, rapscallion and coxcomb come to mind at the moment.

My late mother called me a rapscallion more than once. I earned it.

I also like the word jollux, as it kind of describes the corpus I see in my mirror every day.

Kaye and I often exchange a buss, which is a quick kiss. Our marriage vows and the Holy Bible said, “What God has joined together, let no man put asunder.” I like the word asunder as well.

I will leave you scratching your head over another interesting and archaic word: quagswagging. Look it up in your Funk and Wagnall.

Ti Elementary make, donate blankets for pediatric patients Ticonderoga fourth graders make blankets for pediatrics

By Mikaela Foster

mikaela@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — Local fourth graders were inspired by their teacher to make fleece blankets for kids at Canton-Potsdam Hospital (CPH) as a community project.

Joan Defayette, fourth grade teacher at Ticonderoga Elementary, said the idea came from a conversation with her daughter, Laura Kiely, who is a clinical nurse manager at the hospital.

Defayette said her daughter told her she needed to order blankets for pediatric patients. Kiely asked if the fourth graders would be interested in making some.

The students immediately agreed, with some growing even more interested once they learned the items would be donated to children.

The class started in January. With the help of middle school mentors,

they spent the next two months making 20 blankets during their recess time, two of which they plan to donate to the local group, “Friends Comforting Friends.”

The blankets vary in color and size, but all are made with fleece and a hand-knotted fringe along the edges, the students explained.

The project taught the kids what they can do for others, Defayette said. They also tied in a writing piece, which gave them a purpose for their work. The students wrote letters to the blanket recipients at the hospital.

“Dear Friend, I hope you enjoy the blanket,” wrote Sarah Pound, a fourth grader.

She explained the process.

“We had to cut squares out of the corners to make it. With the squares, we will make a quilt, raffle it off, so one lucky kid in my class will get to remember our fourth grade experience. I hope you feel better...”

Defayette’s daughter told her they’ve already sent two blankets home with two patients, who were very happy to receive them.

PUTNAM — The Putnam Central School District released the estimated tax rate to The Sun Thursday, May 5.

The estimated tax rate for the 2016-17 school year will be approximately $5.33 per $1,000 assessed property value. The figure represents a 73-cent decrease in the 2015-16 rate of $6.06, a 12.05 percent drop.

The 2016-17 tax rate is estimated due to several factors, including the release of new assessment roles July 1.

The 2016-17 budget for the Putnam Central School District calls for $2,499,697 in spending with a tax levy of $1,555,138, a 11.58 percent decrease from the previous budget thanks to the use of $600,000 in fund balance after the school was cited by a state auditor to lower their general reserve account.

Voting on the school-board adopted budget — along with one five-year school board term (between candidates Caroline Anderson and Farley Tierney, III) and a proposition to buy a parcel of land next to the school for $20,000 plus applicable costs — is set to take place Tuesday, May 17, from noon until 8 p.m. at the school.

TICONDEROGA — Local residents are encouraged to sit back and enjoy a “funny melodrama” with the Ticonderoga Festival Guild’s presentation of A Golden Fleecing, by R. Eugene Jackson, which is set for liftoff next week.

To set the scene: “You’ll walk into a saloon with the music going,” said Vincent Smith, the director, who aims to have a little entertainment for the audience before the show.

The plot: A lovely young woman, Sarah Sweetflower, inherits Cactus Bob’s Saloon. She plans to open Sweetflower’s Sarsaparilla Saloon and Bridal Shoppe with the help of the hero, Stanley Stoutheart.

Spanish II students learn from Columbian native

TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga High school Spanish II students got the chance to practice their Spanish speaking with a native speaker of the language Friday, April 19. Diana Sofia Vargas Pond stopped in for a cultural roundtable discussion and responded to questions from freshmen students and shared facts and cultural perspectives. Pond is originally from Bogotá, Colombia and was in the region visiting family. Pond’s cousin is Karyssa Alkinburgh, a freshman at Ticonderoga high School. Alkinburgh coordinated the discussion group and question and answer session.

Each student asked a question in Spanish about the culture of Colombia.

Many of the students had questions about the foods, products and tourist sites in Colombia. Students were surprised to hear that in general, people in Colombia do not eat fast food.

A popular dish is the bandeja paisa, a tray of food consisting of meats, plantains, rice, beans and an egg.

The exchange rate benefits tourists who visit, as one American dollar is equal to 3,000 Colombian pesos. Pond explained that when people complain about traffic and poor driving in New York City, the driving in Bogota is much worse. When

Ticonderoga CSD dismissal times

asked by a student what she appreciates about the United States, she stated the respect paid to military veterans. She does not see that in Colombia.

Pond explained that Colombia struggled in the 1990’s due to the drug trafficking, but had made a successful comeback in its economy after the death of cartel leader Pablo Escobar.

She noted that now Mexico is trying to solve the problems of the drug cartels, and said life now is much better in her homeland.

of the runaway logging truck.

Johns would not comment on a specific speed Dake reached while coming down the hill, only to say it was “significant.”

At the bottom of the hill, Dake continued to be out of control while slowing minimally. That is when he made the decision to ditch the truck into the field south of the roadway.

“I respect him for making the decision to endanger himself instead of going through the roadway and into the intersection,” Johns said.

Dake turned the rig right into a field, crashing through a guardrail and down a sharp embankment. The tractor trailer then plowed through the field, coming to a rest less than a quarter mile shy of the intersection of Routes 74 and 9N. “The truck traveled about 300 feet until coming to a stop,” Ticonderoga Volunteer Fire Department Chief Matthew Watts said. “The driver was out of the truck and said he was okay. He said he blew his horn and flashed his lights and passed cars all the way down the hill and when he looked at the intersection and saw six or eight cars and a gas truck. He knew he needed to stop and his only choice was to go off the road and into the field.”

The condition of the field may have also played a part in stopping the rig, as moist conditions had the vehicle buried more than halfway up its wheel wells.

Despite the bumpy ride, Dake was not injured and was later joined at the scene by his father, Grover, Sr. Emergency responders worked the scene

www.suncommunitynews.com

throughout the day, having to call in a company to remove the logs from the truck which led to a closure of the intersection in the afternoon.

“It was taking time to unload the truck and the equipment was making the road muddy, so we decided it made sense to close the road,” Johns said.

“My observation was that the load shifted forward about four or five feet toward the cab,” said Watts about the scene. “There was also a ruptured fuel tank resulting in about 100 gallons of fuel leaking onto the ground. We contained the spill and notified DEC Spill Response and they responded along with a cleanup company to perform the cleanup.”

Traffic control was on-scene until about 5 p.m.

“The driver did an excellent job handling such a bad situation and the fact that no one was injured or killed is amazing,” Watts said. “It’s certainly could have been a horrific tragedy. He did the right thing going off the road and putting others lives before his.”

According to New York State inspection records found on the Quick Transport Solutions website, Grover Dake Trucking has been in business since 2009, with their last inspection taking place Jan. 21, with no driver violations or arrests and violations involving windshield and lighting which did not take the vehicles out of service.

ON COVER AND RIGHT: A logging truck driven by Grover Dake, Jr., sits in the field near the Dunkin’ Donuts at the Rte. 74 and 9N intersection Thursday, May 5. Dake pulled the truck into the field after he lost control of the vehicle near the top of Chilson Hill in a move responders are hailing as potentially saving lives.

Cuomo signs off on Boreas Pond Tract acquisition Structure demolitions scheduled to begin this summer

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

NORTH HUDSON — Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on Tuesday the completion of the Boreas Ponds Tract acquisition to the state’s land holdings.

With a shimmering Elk Lake framed by a ring of spruce trees as a backdrop, Cuomo formally announced the completion of the largest addition to the Adirondack Park in a century.

“The soul of the state of New York is singing because of what we did today,” Cuomo said.

The purchase of the 20,758-acre Boreas Ponds Tract, which is primarily located in North Hudson, is the final in a series of land purchases the state has completed since 2012.

Working with the Nature Conservancy, 69,000 acres of land previously owned primarily by the former Finch Pruyn paper company have been conserved.

Funds for the $14.5 million purchase came from the state’s Environmental Protection Fund.

Frequently referred to as the “crown jewel” of the series of acquisitions, the Manhattan-sized tract contains a diverse spread of wildlife, from alpine-type summits to lowland forest.

Cuomo called the “functionality” of the tract important, citing the connection between Casey Brook Tract and the High Peaks Wilderness Area.

The acquisition, said the governor, marks the rare chance when government policy results in actions that make a permanent difference.

“We didn’t inherit our planet from our parents, we’re borrowing it from our children,” Cuomo said, citing a Native American proverb. “Today we know we are leaving our children a better North Country, a better park, than we inherited.

That, my friends, is the greatest accomplishment.”

Removal of a number of structures on the tract is scheduled to begin this summer starting with a hunting lodge formerly used by company executives.

A number of hunting camps will be demolished once their leases expire in 2018, said Mike Carr, executive director of the

Nature Conservancy.

“The Nature Conservancy is pleased to assist in the removal of existing structures,” Carr said.

The Nature Conservancy will provide $750,000 in economic development grant money to aid the process.

Cuomo said the state will continue to pay school and property taxes on the new addition.

“That’s why you see the supervisors smiling today,” Cuomo said.

Cuomo called tourism the state’s “most successful economic development tool.”

In the past six years, he said, tourism-related jobs in the Gov. Andrew Cuomo delivers comments at the Elk Lake Lodge in North Hudson Tuesday, May 10.

County debates Frontier Town Authorize measures to discourage trespassing

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

NORTH HUDSON — Essex County lawmakers are taking steps to cordon off Frontier Town, which lawmakers say presents a public safety hazard.

On Monday, the Essex County Board of Supervisors resolved to have the county’s code enforcement officer inspect the property, post signs and barricades and get a cost estimate for asbestos removal for the numerous buildings on the sprawling parcel.

Supervisor Ron Moore (R-North Hudson) prodded the board into taking action, calling many of the structures a public safety risk.

The lawmaker also cited reports of trespassing.

“It’s definitely an accident waiting to happen,” Moore said of the former restaurant.

“We can continue to ignore it as we have, or we can do something about it.”

Citing the dilapidated nature of one of the on-site motels — including broken windows and “bashed in” doors — Moore said the buildings may have been saved if the county had been more proactive stewards.

“What might have been restored is probably not possible now,” Moore said. “I would think after this many years, something should be done to protect the assets, whatever they may be.”

Essex County owns much of the former theme park. At present, the property is not slated to be included in the next tax auction, which is tentatively scheduled for this fall.

Moore confirmed negotiations were underway with the state for possible use of the parcel as a gateway in an emerging trail network, some 40 miles that will cut through five towns in the central Adirondacks.

Last month, the state purchased the 20,494-acre Boreas Ponds property from the Nature Conservancy, one of the final transactions in a series of additions to the state’s

Forest Preserve.

“They’re trying to assist us in making good use of that property,” Moore said.

The property’s blighted buildings, some of which have been condemned, cannot be removed without first conducting a number of evaluations, Dan Palmer, the county manager, told lawmakers.

Barring those examinations, the county must treat the entire building as if it is hazardous waste, he said.

Lawmakers admitted it’s unlikely any of them will find interested buyers.

“I went and looked at those buildings, and ain’t nobody going to give us anything for any of that,” said Essex County Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Randy Preston (I-Wilmington).

Palmer said progress on the site has been hamstrung because lawmakers have never authorized funds to clean up the site.

“At this point, no money has been allocated by the board to do it,” Palmer said.

Deputy Department of Public Works Superintendent Jim Dougan estimated it would cost $20,000 to erect a fence around the property.

Lawmakers quickly said such a measure would be unnecessarily.

In the end, the board tasked the code enforcement officer to post signs, barricades and again look into an estimate for possible asbestos removal.

Supervisor Tom Scozzafava (R-Moriah) indicated he would be against allocating funds for clean-up.

“I don’t want to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for a property that’s going to draw 30 or $40,000,” he said.

In February, lawmakers authorized exploring demolition costs, but nothing came of the resolution.

ABOVE RIGHT: Following reports of trespassing and increasingly unsafe structures, the Essex County Board of Supervisors resolved to barricade the former Frontier Town property on Monday.

Dig it: Crown Point Central starts a garden

By Mikaela Foster

mikaela@suncommunitynews.com

CROWN POINT — Students from kindergarten through twelfth grade are putting on their gardening

gloves and digging into the dirt at Crown Point Central School this spring.

The school received a grant through the “Dig It, A School Gardens Curriculum Program,” which was launched

by Tractor Supply Company

in partnership with the National Agriculture in the Classroom Organization.

Bill Clark, the teacher who is leading the gardening project, said this is the first garden the school has ever done and it’s about “learning

what a garden is and seeing it grow” and “incorporating real life” into what they teach.

For the tech instructor, the excitement lies within everything he is able to teach the kids through the technology side of the project.

He said they incorporated a greenhouse, which the kids built from scrap wood, and includes a fan to suck out manure fumes, and a thermometer.

They didn’t have water to keep the garden hydrated, he said, so some of the guys figured out the plumbing to run a water line from one side of the tech room to the other, and out the window.

“What’s kind of fun,” he said, “is incorporating math, science and technology.”

His ninth grade class completed technical drawings of the size and shape of the garden for one of their classes.

Clark decided it should be planted right outside the technology room, where the kids will see it when they get off the bus.

The instructor, who has taught in the city in the past and appreciates the amount of land in the area, said he thinks everyone should have a garden here.

Planting in a visible area, he said, will help keep the kids thinking about it.

The garden, he said, with the exception of marigolds to deter animals with the smell, is all veggies. They’re planting corn, pumpkins, zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, potatoes and onions.

Two eighth graders, Sydney Gould and Maddison Nadeau, said one thing they did to contribute was planting onion and squash seeds into starter planters and were amazed to see how much the plants had grown since they planted them.

“We’ve never done anything like this,” Nadeau said.

Both girls said this is a “cool and creative” project and are glad to be a part of it.

Clark said the question they’re working to answer is, what to do with the food once it comes.

Business Summit leads to AIME classes in Mineville CVES brings trade-based education program to CV-TECH campus

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

MINEVILLE — A community forum on the needs of Essex County businesses has led to a popular Champlain Valley Educational Services program landing at the Mineville satellite campus here.

AIME 2.0 will start June 27, with tradesbased instruction being offered to graduating students and adults.

AIME stands for The Assembling Industry: Manufacturing and Education class, which has been offered in Plattsburgh for the past six years, currently working with its 17th class.

The program has been extremely successful, with a job placement rate

for completing participants over 90 percent.

CVES Supervisor of Literacy, HSE and Job Skills Training Programs Cathy Snow said the idea of bringing the program south started after a summit of business leaders in 2015.

“In the fall, CV-TEC and many partner agencies held an Essex County Summit,” Snow said. “We had a great turnout of local businesses. Based on their input and need, we decided to bring AIME 2.0 to Mineville.”

For the Mineville class, input was taken from companies like Pre-tech Plastics, General Composites, Crown Point Telephone/ Bridge Point Communications, International Paper, Essex Industries and North Line Utilities.

“The businesses in Essex County were unbelievably receptive,” Snow said. “We held a meeting Feb. 9 and had reps from each of these companies. We reviewed the Plattsburgh curriculum and revised it to fit with the input from Essex County businesses.”

The class, which will run for eight weeks and provide 120 hours in training, will offer classes in Lean 101, Precision Measurement, Hand and Power Tool Use and Safety, Blueprint Reading, Intro to CNC Machining, Intro to Welding, Machine Maintenance and OSHA 10 Certification.

Participants will also be prepared to take the National Work Readiness Credential test. This test measures situational judgment; active listening, workplace math and workplace reading. Soft skills are reviewed and integrated into every aspect of the program.

“The ultimate goal is to provide local businesses with a skilled workforce and recent graduates and adults with jobs,” Snow said of the class. “Participants will be introduced to many skills, including welding and CNC operation, These skills will help

students obtain employment and may pique their interest to enroll in further training.”

Prior to the class starting, participants will participate in a tour of manufacturing businesses. At the conclusion of AIME 2.0 there will be an “Employment Seminar” at CV-TEC hosted by the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce. Students will have the opportunity to interview with several local manufacturing employers.

Graduating seniors should talk to their school counselor for more information. All others may contact Patty at 561-0430 ext.

3004.

AIME is a collaboration of the Essex County IDA, Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, Moriah Central School, Crown Point Central School, ETS, Inc., North Country Community College, Clinton Community College, CITEC and ACCES-VR.

shop and not have to travel to Ticonderoga for things.”

Brassard also said having this happen right before Memorial Day and the summer camping season is yet another figurative punch to the gut.

“It will also be a great lose for the campers at both Village and Town campgrounds,” he said. “The campers spend a good amount of money there during the camping season. I just hope the place will be rebuilt as soon as possible as this is a horrible lose for this community.”

It’s a sad thing — it really is,” said Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava. “A lot of people use that store and depend on it for their products. It’s a tremendous loss for the village and the town. You have the camping season coming up and a lot of people there use it. I hope they are able start rebuilding soon.”

Scozzafava added he feels for the employees of the store and hopes there is a way they can stay employed through the cleanup.

At least a half-dozen departments responded, including Westport, Wadhams, Port Henry, Moriah, Ticonderoga and Elizabethtown.

State investigators were on route, said Jaquish, because initial losses appeared to exceed $200,000.

The Essex County Emergency Services Fire Investigation Unit is also investigating.

No injuries were reported.

A preliminary investigation indicated flames started at the northeast side of the building, Jaquish said, and spread along the ceiling.

From the outside, blackened merchandise could be seen smoldering. A line of propane tanks had been removed from the building and were lined up alongside the far end of the parking lot.

Jaquish said it will likely take several days before the cause of the fire is determined.

“We’re a long way from determining what happened,” Jaquish said.

General Manager Karen Mitchell declined to comment on Tuesday, referring questions to the district manager, who was said to be on route.

Moriah teacher Tim McGarry takes all-natural approach to beekeeping

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

WADHAMS — From a distance, the scene looked chaotic.

The man would remove a wooden frame from a box, subject it to a puff of smoke and inspect it before gingerly placing it into another box. He did so again and again.

Bees were everywhere. Thousands of them.

Tim McGarry has been beekeeping since 1981, right before a one-two punch shook the industry.

First came the tracheal mite in the mid-1980s, then the varroa destructor in the 1990s — parasites, both, that wiped out entire colonies and presented what McGarry said was the most existential threat honeybees had ever faced, especially in the cold weather climates where bees winter.

“I’ve experienced severe losses myself,” he said.

For the past six years, McGarry has been cultivating colonies naturally, without the use of treatment — namely the use of pesticides to zap the parasites (which eventually developed a resistance).

“You’re breeding smart mites but not selecting the best bees,” McGarry said.

Honeybees have a strong capacity to regenerate after being knocked out, he said. He’s now working with the strains with depleted numbers,

repopulating them, one bee at a time.

McGarry spent Saturday morning at his apiary in Wadhams, right before the road forks and opens out into scenic vistas dotted with farms.

It’s a good place, he said, protected on one side from the elements by an old dairy barn, with a neighboring field providing plenty of sources for pollen.

Beekeeping seems disorderly, but it’s not, McGarry said — The key is simply producing lots of bees.

And try not to get stung.

McGarry cultivates colony divisions. Ideally, a queen will lay eggs in each comb, which will then be papered over by the worker bees.

Hopefully, honeybees will eventually emerge and form a new “nuc,” or nucleus colony — a honeybee starter pack, so to speak, all chemicalfree.

Each frame has 1,200 sides. A healthy frame will see bees in just about every comb, very densely packed.

Several frames can fit into each crate depending on the size. Room must be allotted for the colony to store incoming nectar.

McGarry can use these to start new colonies for himself or other local beekeepers. He often sells queens when available — Russians, specifically bred. Honey is also produced under the Boquet Valley Farm banner.

A good queen at the peak of a season can produce 1,000 eggs per day — that’s 1,000 honeybees, he added.

“You can have an amazing amount of bees in a short amount of time.”

McGarry moved frames from box to box as he constructed colonies. The opening of each crate was accompanied by a gentle tuft from the smoker. He pointed at a queen, larger than the others as she looked for an empty cell to deposit her eggs.

The workers droned. Honeybees don’t want to sting, he said. And beekeepers can select gentle bees. But as he opened and inspected each box, he issued the smoke to reduce the alarm pheromones.

Bees survive the winter by eating honey and clustering together to generate warmth.

McGarry prepared 50 colonies for the winter, of which 39 made it through, wrapped loosely in roofing tarp.

Eleven died, the frames were mostly empty upon inspection.

Swarming, when the queen leaves the colony with a large group of worker bees, is a natural part of the life cycle. While keepers try to prevent it, their departure is not always possible.

The main honey flow in this region is the monthlong stretch from early-June to early-July, with clover and basswood serving as the two top

nectar sources. Dandelions provide an “incredible” source of nectar and pollen, McGarry said, and is the main source bees use in spring to build up their numbers.

The end result is a light-colored honey.

Not many folks do what McGarry does. There might be a guy in Crown Point, he reckoned, and others in Vermont and New Hampshire.

There’s nothing necessarily wrong with honey made from treated bees, he said. But all-natural products simply have one less inorganic substance in them.

Spring is the busiest time of year.

The beekeeper feels confident his bees this year will have all the characteristics he’s been trying to cultivate for the past six years.

McGarry’s progress will be bolstered by a grant from the Adirondack Council and the Klipper Fund that will allow him to purchase and modify equipment.

Doing so will allow him to grow capacity by 20 percent, allowing him to bump his nucs from 50 to 60 per year.

Even this particular day looked promising.

“I’m going to wind up with some big colonies by the end of the day here,” McGarry said.

Once you acquire bees, they’re your charges, he said.

He always learns something new — “They always fascinate me in that way.”

HerbertÊ EdgarÊ Spaulding CROWN POINT — Herbert Edgar Spaulding, 86, of Crown Point, NY passed away January 1, 2016 at River Ridge Living Center, Amsterdam, NY. Herb was born on January 23, 1929 in Crown Point, NY to Edgar V. and Nora (Whitford) Spaulding.

Herbert was a lifetime resident of Crown Point and began working at GLF, later known as Crown Point Agway, in 1948. He purchased the business with his father six years later and then owned it an additional 46 years before selling the business and retiring in 2000. The retirement was short.

30 | May 14, 2016 • The Times of Ti Sun LEGALS ANNUAL DRINKING WATER QUALITY REPORT FOR 2015 Moriah Water District #1 and #2 38 Park Place, Suite 1 Port Henry, New York 12974 (Public Water Supply ID#1500287) Introduction To comply with State and Federal regulations, we will be annually issuing a report describing the quality of your drinking water. The purpose of this report is to raise your understanding of drinking water and awareness of the need to protect our drinking water sources. This report provides an overview of last years water quality. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to State standards. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your drinking water, please contact Mr. Art Morgan, Water Superintendent, at (518) 942-3340. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled town board meetings. The meetings are held the second Tuesday of every month at 6:00 p.m. in the Town Hall.

Where does our water come from?

In general, 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 can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activities. Contaminants that may be present in source water include microbial contaminants; inorganic contaminants; pesticides and herbicides; organic chemical contaminants; and radioactive contaminants.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the State and the EPA prescribe regulations, which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems.

The State Health Departments and the FDAs regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

The source of water for the Moriah WD is Bartlett Pond. Raw water receives filtration treatment at the Bartlett Pond filtration plant.

The Bartlett Pond water filtration plant is located to the south of Bartlett Pond approximately one-quarter mile west of the pond spillway. The filtered water receives hypochlorination disinfection treatment prior to entering two interconnected storage tanks at the plant. Water flows by gravity from storage at the plant to the Mineville area (Water District #1). Water is pumped from storage at the filter plant to a concrete storage reservoir at Barton Hill for the Whiterbee area (Water District #2). Water flows by gravity from the Barton Hill storage tank to Water District #2.

Facts and Figures Our water system serves approximately 3,100 individuals through 1,030 service connections. The total volume of water produced in 2015 was 140 million gallons. On average, 385,250 gallons of water is treated and distributed to users of the water system each day, our single highest day was 814,000 gallons on May 2. 2015. In 2015, we charged a flat rate for

www.suncommunitynews.com

water, $290.00 per household per year.

Are there contaminants in our drinking water?

As the State regulations require, we routinely test your drinking water for numerous contaminants. These contaminants include total coliform, inorganic contaminants, nitrate, nitrite, gross alpha, lead and copper, volatile organic contaminants, and synthetic organic compounds. The table presented below depicts which compounds were detected in your drinking water. The State allows us to test for some contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently.

Some of our data, though representative, are more than one year old.

It should be noted that all drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably 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 EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-4264791) or the New York State Health Department at (518) 891-1800.

Notes: 1 - Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of our water. We monitor it because it is a good indicator of the effectiveness of our filtration system.

Our single highest measurement for the year occurred on 1/29/15 (0.29 NTU).

The regulations require that 95% of the turbidity samples collected in a month have measurements below 0.3 NTU. 2 - During 2014, 10 samples were collected and analyzed for lead and copper. The 90th percentile is equal to or greater than 90% of the lead or copper values detected at your water system. In this case, 10 samples were collected at your water system and the 90th percentile value was the second highest value for both lead and copper. The action level for lead was not exceeded at any of the sites tested. The action level for copper was not exceeded at any of the sites tested. Lead was not detected in any of the samples.

The range of copper levels measured was ND 0.13 mg/L. 4 - The value represents the highest Locational Running Annual Average of the quarterly samples collected.

5 - The values represent the range of the quarterly samples collected.

Definitions: Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible.

Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): 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.

Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.

Non-Detects (ND): Laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present.

Milligrams per liter (mg/l): Corresponds to one part of liquid in one million parts of liquid (parts per million ppm).

Micrograms per liter (ug/l): Corresponds to one part of liquid in one billion parts of liquid (parts per billion - ppb).

Picocuries per liter (pCi/L): A measure of the radioactivity in water.

What does this information mean?

As you can see by the table, the system had no violations.

We have learned through our testing that some contaminants have been detected; however, these contaminants were detected below the level allowed by the State.

Is our water system meeting other rules that govern operations?

Last year, our system was in compliance with applicable State drinking water operating, monitoring and reporting requirements.

SOURCE WATER ASSESSMENT SUMMARY The NYS Dept. of Health completed a source water assessment for this system based on available information. Based on the analysis of available information, this drinking water source does not have an elevated susceptibility to contamination. There are no regulated facilities within this watershed and the corresponding land cover does not pose any substantial risks to the source water quality.

The health department will use this information to direct future source water protection activities. These may include water quality monitoring, resource management, planning, and education programs. A copy of the assessment, including a map of the assessment area, can be obtained by contacting us as noted below.

Do I Need to Take Special Precautions?

Some people may be more vulnerable to disease causing microorganisms or pathogens 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 from their health care provider about their drinking water. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium, Giardia and other microbial pathogens are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

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 Moriah Water District is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials 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 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.

Why Save Water and How to Avoid Wasting It? Although our system has an adequate amount of water to meet present and future demands, there are a number of reasons why it is important to conserve water: Saving water saves energy and some of the costs associated

with both of these necessities of life; Saving water reduces the cost of energy required to pump water and the need to construct costly new wells, pumping systems and water towers; and Saving water lessens the strain on the water system during a dry spell or drought, helping to avoid severe water use restrictions so that essential fire fighting needs are met.

You can play a role in conserving water by becoming conscious of the amount of water your household is using, and by looking for ways to use less whenever you can. It is not hard to conserve water. Conservation tips include: Automatic dishwashers use 15 gallons for every cycle, regardless of how many dishes are loaded. So get a run for your money and load it to capacity.

Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth.

Check every faucet in your home for leaks. Just a slow drip can waste 15 to 20 gallons a day.

Fix it up and you can save almost 6,000 gallons per year.

Check your toilets for leaks by putting a few drops of food coloring in the tank, watch for a few minutes to see if the color shows up in the bowl. It is not uncommon to lose up to 100 gallons a day from one of these otherwise invisible toilet leaks.

Fix it and you save more than 30,000 gallons a year.

Use your water meter to detect hidden leaks. Simply turn off all taps and water using appliances, then check the meter after 15 minutes.

If it moved, you have a leak.

Closing Thank you for allowing us to continue to provide your family with quality drinking water this year. In order to maintain a safe and dependable water supply we sometimes need to make improvements that will benefit all of our customers. The costs of these improvements may be reflected in the rate structure. Rate adjustments may be necessary in order to address these improvements. We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community.

Please call our office if you have questions.
