Making A Difference

We have written extensively about young people in the Schroon Lake area trying to make a difference. We are proud of their accomplishments as they try and change the world and become better citizens through the experience.

We recently heard from Desiree Lanoue,  a 16-year old junior at Schroon Lake Central School, who has been accepted to become a People to People Student Ambassador.

From Desiree:

“During the summer of 2013, I will join a delegation of students my age on a 22-day educational program that includes Fiji, New Zealand and Australia. President Dwight D. Eisenhower founded the People to People movement because he believed that ordinary citizens of different nations could solve their problems and live harmoniously with one another through shared experiences and understanding.

Lost a Piece Of Your Dock?

If you are missing a piece of your dock, Tad, has found it!

He writes: "Attached is a picture of a piece of dock which landed on a rock near my place...pulled it up on a rock in front of 565 Adirondack Road.  Perhaps you can circulate the picture".

If you haven't noticed -- or heard -- Schroon has a new tourist attraction. Known affectionately as "The Old Man Of The Tree", this beautiful sculpture sits at the bottom of Mark and Sharon Piper's Schroon Lake Bed and Breakfast, just north of town on Route 9.

"We have people pull up, get out and take photos," Sharon told us recently.

And today there's a reception to meet the artist -- Glenn Durlacher -- who created this masterpiece.
