EMBDEN -- Organizers of the summer swim program for children at Embden Pond said this week they are still looking for the vandals who disassembled their dock at Sandy Beach and stole five wooden panels from the top.

"They tore our docks apart, and then walked out with four of the four-by-fours and one of two-bys, worth about $600," said Pam Heustis Graf, director of the two-week swim and water safety program.

Somerset County Sheriff's Detective Lt. Carl E. Gottardi said deputies have been to the site and are continuing to investigate the damage and theft.

Graf said people interested in the swim program have donated and assembled seven sections of aluminum docking with cedar plank tops. The dock extends 50 feet out in the water with a 24-foot-T at the end, she said.

"We had a wonderful person who totally believes in the program that bought the last two section of docking this year," she said.

Graf said the two-week swim and water safety program includes 150 children from Anson, Embden, Solon, New Portland, Norridgewock, Madison, Bingham, Moscow and Athens.
