The Schroon Town Hall, Library and Court had their doors locked to the public Monday morning. This follows Sunday’s announcement the Schroon Lake Central School is suspending classes.

A notice posted on the Town Building’s front door listed phone numbers to call for key town personnel whom the public might need to contact.

And there’s a growing list of Schroon businesses that are closing: As of this writing the Schroon Lake Bait Shop, Rowes Cabins and the Schroon Lake Wellness and Massage Center.

Flanagan’s cancelled St. Paddy’s Day and is closing. Witherbee’s Carriage House  extended their Spring Break Cleaning until April.

We’ll report other closings once we hear about them or if you know of any, please leave a comment.

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).
