 Bob Karaffa captured the iconic Word of Life Lighthouse, which shines brightly during the summer months, just before it was taken out of service for the winter.

Bob's shot is simply stunning, showing the golden sun hitting the tall pines on the southern most point of the island. Above, you can see several layers of misty blues, browns and grays of the High Peaks, topped off by powder puff pinkish white clouds.

To the left of frame are lush trees and grassy knoll near the town beach, dotted by the wooden lifesaver's tower and a couple of Adirondack chairs. That blue, blue water sure looks inviting.

Schroon Republican Primary Results: Bill Tribou In By A Landslide

Retired corporate attorney Bill Tribou has easily won the Republican Primary for the November ballot for the position of Schroon Town Judge, Schroonlaker has learned.

Tribou won 148 of the 290 total votes cast, excluding absentee ballots.

Coming in second was Cherie Indelicato with 65 votes, followed by Paul Mireas,  (57) and Tracy Hanchett  (20).

With Tribou’s win today, he will not only be on the Republican Party line come November, but also as an Independent for the Honesty Party.

He will run against Hanchett, who will now run as an Independent for the Justice Party. Before today’s primary, Tribou and Hanchett had filed Independent Nominating Petitions to get a line on the November Ballot.
