Kevin Barrows, an avid out doorsman, hunter and fisherman, who loved Schroon Lake, has passed away.

Many Schroon Lakers knew Kevin and his passion for his Schroon Lake Camp, also known as the “Desolate Hunting Club”, which became his favorite destination, reports the The Carleton Funeral Home.

"Kevin Leon Barrows, 55, of Hudson Falls and Schroon Lake, “turned the page”, on July 8, 2014, to join his beloved parents and brother. Born June 28, 1959, in Glens Falls, he was the son of the late Dale and Barbara Barrows. On July 23, 1983, Kevin married Sharon Seymour.  Over a 30 year span they raised their son, Kevin Keith, who was their greatest accomplishment, prideB and joy.  Their grandson, Masen “Buster” was the light of his “Poppy’s” life".

A Must See Film All Lake Lovers Should Watch

A centerpiece of the Schroon Lake Association's presentation Friday night, will be a screening of the PBS documentary "Lake Defenders".

The film chronicles the efforts of the multiple agencies and individuals who are fighting  the invasion of invasive species in lake George. Eurasian milfoil and Asian clams are two of eight invasives in Lake George. In Schroon and Paradox milfoil is in check, while Lake George is being attacked by Asian clams. Schroon and Paradox -- thanks to countless, vigilant volunteers, have so far dodged a bullet on Asian clams.

The 30-minute educational documentary promotes public awareness and participation in stopping the spread of invasives, and provides a case study in management practices as a model for hundreds of communities nationwide.

If you can't make the meeting, then definitely watch this documentary. It will change the way you look at Schroon and Paradox and how important WE ALL CAN BE in helping our nation's lakes stay invasive free.

The event takes place this Friday (July 11) at 8pm at the Schroon Lake Central School’s Auditorium.

Bella Is Still Missing

Despite the best efforts of many, Bella is still missing.

From Jessie Gail Sander:

"Please everyone keep your eyes open please. Her family misses her so much. Shes such a sweet girl so if you see her don't be afraid to approach her. She answers to Bella and likes people food. Please, please, keep your eyes open and listen in case anyone mentions seeing her. We just want her home again."

Bella is a German short haired pointer, black and white with speckles, and her tail hasn't been cropped. If anyone sees her or has any information, please call 914-204-9162
