Schroon Lakers near and far are mourning the passing of Ralph Dudley, who fought a brave battle against brain cancer, with an entire community rooting for him.
Our condolences go out to Ralph’s family and his partner of many years, Kristin Forrester, who never gave up hope and never left his side.
For non-locals, Ralph and Kristen were the owners of Alpine Pizza, next to the Strand Theatre, where their pizzas and Garbage Bread was famous. (TheGarbage bread was dough filled with pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, salami and cheese).
He was a huge fan of Frontier Town and their Alpine Pizza restaurant featured memorabilia and some of the original tables and benches from one of the amusement park's restaurants.
Friends say Ralph and Kristen had been struggling with a huge amount of debt, due to medical bills. Now their friendsare asking you consider help out with the costs of funeral arrangements.

The Press Republican highlights the work of the North Country Mission of Hope and the efforts of many dedicated teens, including Schroon Lake native, Liam Veverka, who is now in Nicaragua.
The teens are volunteering their time and expertise at the Casita Azul School in Managua. From The Press Republican:
"The kids are very technology inclined," Liam said. "They pick it up quickly." Liam is helping the students to use tablets from Lab-in-a-Box, for tutorials in math and other subjects. And during free time, the youngsters didn't set the tablets aside but instead used them to take pictures and to watch videos.
"They really, really liked using the technology," Veverka said, laughing.

Beauty surrounds us, and the work of local photographers can be found on many Lakers’ Facebook pages. And if you are a local student, with a passion for photography and the Adirondacks, you have just a few days left to submit your photos to a photo contest sponsored by the Lake Placid Institute of Arts and Humanities. The contest is "24 Hours: A Photographic Interpretation of Life in the Adirondacks".
From LPI:
“It’s a contest for high school students in public and private schools within the Adirondack Park. 2016-2017 will be the seventh year of this program, which draws entries from throughout the region. Students are invited to submit two photographs taken during any specified hour or hours of the day, and are encouraged to move their view beyond traditional landscape subjects – though they also qualify for submission – to subjects that relate to their own daily lives”.
The rules state photos must be taken by February 28, with the deadline for submission April 15, 2017. Check out all of the details, by clicking here.
