For a few years now, artist and photographer Anthony Ruizhas been toying with the idea of getting some land in Schroon and raising animals and crops for his family.

His goal was to provide healthy and natural foods,  knowing where it all came from.

While that remains a long-term goal for Anthony – better known as the owner of Schroon’s Giant Mountain Studio, he’s come up with a happy compromise. He’s now growing a variety of mouth watering microgreens, right here in Schroon. 

Find out all about how you can get your hands – and give your taste buds a chance to enjoy these incredibly flavorful greens  -- in our Food and Drink section.

 

 

Be On the Lookout for Jupiter

/


Shelby James has been searching for her missing pooch Jupiter since mid-December. And just this week there have been sightings of a dog which matches the description of  Jupiter, around the intersection of Routes 9 and 74 in Schroon.

Jupiter has a very distinctive marking, which you can immediately identify him by:  a prominent white upside triangle on his chest.

From Shelby: "People in Schroon Lake my dog has been missing for about 5 months now and I thought I saw him on Saturday afternoon, then someone messaged me saying they may have seen him also. Please keep an eye out of if anyone knows anything please let me know. He's a German Shepard pit bull mix about 90 pounds when he ran off. My number is 518-524-5138
