Lions SEE program. The program offers free eye screenings for children. In December screenings were held for prekindergarten and kindergarten students at Schroon Lake and Crown Point schools. “Lions SEE stands for Screening Eyes Early and it is so important to their vision future,” said Kevin Lavarnway, Schroon Lions president. “For young children, their vision is all that they know and do not realize that everyone does not see things as they do.” Trained Lions utilize scanners to take measure-

TICONDEROGA — The founder of the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance has left the organization. Alex Levitch has resigned from the executive board of directors. Levitch said he resigned because he no longer had the time to devote to the alliance. He is owner of Adirondack Camp in Putnam. “I do so, because time has become, increasingly, the nagging issue; and it is important that every (alliance) director be prepared to set aside real time to do real work,” Levitch said in his resignation letter. The Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance is a not-forprofit, local development corporation whose mission is to restore economic prosperity in the Ticonderoga region. Its goal is to serve as a clearinghouse for ideas and resources and be a catalyst for publicprivate partnerships and investment opportunities.
