I am deeply honored and appreciative to have been chosen as Warren County Contributing Senior Citizen of the year. It is a rare occasion to be so blessed. I look forward to many more years of aiding those in their time of need. . .Lu Megow Protocol for Ambulance ServiceThe primary purpose of ambulances is for Emergency Medical problems. Dial 911. Included are transport to the nearest hospital and immediate approved emergency transfer to Glens Falls, Albany or Burlington which have capabilities to handle the patients' needs. Helicopter services are also used on distant transfers. On occasion we are asked to provide long distance transports out of our normal area, which have not been medically necessary, nor payable by insurance. We do not have sufficient manpower or equipment for these kinds of transports and cannot put ourselves and the rest of our community in serious jeopardy to provide such service. . . Lu Megow, Hague Ambulance Captain From One Editor to Another...Who Dun It?On Saturday, May 24 there appeared very mysteriously The Hague Chronical, a spoof of this paper. I did not see a copy until later the next week when I received several copies in the mail, also mysteriously. I found it to be extremely entertaining and amusing, well written, well printed - in fact, it is so good I would like to invite the editor to join our staff. We could certainly use him/her. So, if you haven't seen a copy, try to find someone that has one to lend you. It is hilarious! (AND SOOOO MYSTERIOUS!) DID YOU KNOW...The first church in Hague was a Union church erected about 1835?

The group, sponsored by Putnam Presbyterian Church provides tutors to work with GED candidates on a one -to-one basis. This help is free.

In addition, the product "will not adversely affect the aquatic environment. SONAR allows desirable native vegetation to establish a habitat for fish and aquatic organisms." EPA registered SONAR in 1986 and it has never had its registration suspended. Unlike other herbicides SONAR has no restrictions on water use after application. Swimmers can still swim, fishermen can still fish and the water remains drinkable.
There have been many published studies on SONAR. They may easily be obtained from the EPA: Erroneous statements such as "using SONAR would be putting the health of Lake George residents in jeopardy" are not only inflammatory and totally inaccurate, but also represent harmful sources of misinformation.
