RELIVING HISTORY AT FORT TI

This Week ELIZABETHTOWN AN HONOR

Other lakes don’t fare as well By Fred Herbst

Ti honor society inducts 26 new members.

fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — Schroon Lake is beautiful. That’s more than an opinion. The Schroon Lake Association has the facts to prove it. Recent statistics published by the state Department of Environmental Conservation give Schroon Lake a Class AA rating, which means the lake is fit for drinking, swimming, boating, fishing, aquatic life and aesthetics. The good news about Schroon Lake became even more significant to Schroon Lake Association board members Paul Conolly and Eric Bright while they attended the recent annual New York State Federation of Lakes Association conference. “We were dismayed to learn about the condition of many of the lakes in New York State,” Conolly said. “This reinforces the beauty and health of so many of our lakes in this region.” The major areas of concern for any lake in New York are invasive species and unhealthy levels of nutrients, such as phosphorus, which can result in growth of blue-

Crown Point road honors slain trooper C R O W N P O I N T — Tr o o p e r Lawrence Gleason was killed in the line of duty more than a decade ago, but his memory was alive when a group recently worked in his honor

to clean up a section of highway near the new Lake Champlain Bridge. Active and retired state police, Boy Scouts, Girls Scouts and others — some who knew Gleason and others who only knew of him — worked on the Bridge Road. The first mile of road in New York is named in Gleason’s memory. “Trooper Gleason gave his life try-

Bearor, Alora Bearor, Sean Donovan, Ethan
