TICONDEROGA | In the late summer of 2017, Liam Brown had decided to come home. He was struggling with PTSD, and felt that a move from Wisconsin to Ticonderoga would bring him closer to family members Liam Brown felt an overriding who could offer care. “You could see that he was need to serve. Photo provided hurting,” said Katy Rasmus, his younger sister by six years. “He was working through a lot of pain, but we had very high hopes that he was progressing.” Liam’s mom, Claire Brown, owner of Libby’s Bakery in Ticonderoga, drove him to therapy sessions at the VA in Albany, where he was treated for mental trauma. While in therapy, it came to light that he had also suffered a brain injury from an exploding IED while serving in Iraq. » Liam Cont. on pg. 3

EAGLE LAKE | The status of Eagle Lake’s only public boat launch has residents fearful that they may not be able to fish or recreate on the lake in the ways to which they have become accustomed. Eagle Lake falls within the state’s Hammond Pond Wild Forest, a sprawling, tract loosely bordered by Lake Champlain to the east, the Northway to the west, Route 73 to the south and Route 9N to the north between Westport and Elizabethtown.
The area is governed by a Unit Management plant that was adopted in 1988, and narrowly amended twice since. That plan is currently under review of the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), which will govern how the land is used in coming decades. Among the proposed changes is a reconf iguration of the Eagle Lake boat launch that allows boaters to back their trailers into the water and f loat their craft off the trailer. Under the proposed changes, that will no longer be allowed. According to the plan, “This site will accommodate the approach to the water’s edge of small and light trailered boats, but will not provide float-off or float-on trailered boat launching.
