Missing Something?

June 18, 2013/ anthony batson

Our lake loves nothing more than messing with stuff that floats on it – and thus, that’s our intro line to our semi-regular feature:

Found: Metal Row Boat. There is an aluminum row boat half submerged in shallow water between (Joan Mohrmann) and the Bolands. I'm at 245 Adirondack Rd. About 2 miles north of the General Store. I have a dark log cabin with a red roof, right on the road. jmrugs@nycap.rr.com

Lost: Section of a dock  I lost a 4x8 wood framed dock section with blue Styrofoam flotation with hardware attached on Memorial Day weekend. Name: Don Abrams Don@friedmanrealty.net  (518) 222 8785

Schroon Lake Citizens of the Year: 2013

June 18, 2013/ anthony batson

Jane Claus and her husband Bob will most likely never forget the day they got the call letting them know they were the 2013 Schroon Lake Citizens of the Year.

“I was blown away,” Bob told Schroon Laker.

“Bob was speechless,” recalled Jane. “He said: ‘Can you say that again? I am going to put you on speaker phone’.”

The caller was Tony Kostecki, the new head of the Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce, which sponsors the award. The couple was presented with the honor at a dinner at Witherbee’s Restaurant on Tuesday night (June 18).

A little sunshine, a lot of rain

Over the past week, that combo has lead to the lake rising, and those who got their docks in early, a little, shall we say, underwater? Many folks look forward to getting back their beaches, soon, and not getting their feet wet as they board their boats!
