Public Invited to Watershed Stewardship Summit in Keene Valley
March 23rd, 2011 · No Comments · Adirondack News
The New York Citizens Advisory Committee to the Lake Champlain Basin Program is inviting the public to a Watershed Stewardship Summit which will present the successes and challenges in aquatic invasive species spread prevention in the Lake Champlain basin and Adirondacks.
The summit will held on Tuesday, March 29, from 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm at The Nature Conservancy Office on Route 73 in Keene Valley.
Aquatic invasive species are an on-going threat to the region’s lakes and rivers. The introduction of a single invasive species into a waterbody has the potential to upset the ecological balance by out-competing native plants, disrupting the food web, and altering species composition. Aquatic invasive species impact the use and enjoyment of waters, as well as, the local economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species is critical for protecting our water resources.
Learn from local experts from around the region about programs that are being implemented to help prevent the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species into our lakes and rivers. The panel of experts will include:
- Dr. Eric Holmlund, Director of the Watershed Stewardship Program at Paul Smith’s College
- Lake Champlain Basin Program Boat Launch Steward Program
- Hilary Smith, Director of the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program
- Carol Treadwell, Ph.D., Executive Director for the Ausable River Association
- Emily DeBolt, Director of Education for the Lake George Association
The summit is sponsored by the New York Citizens Advisory Committee – Lake Champlain Basin Program. Please rsvp at nycaclcb@gw.dec.state.ny.us by March 25.

New Logo Unveiled to Celebrate Re-Opening of Lake Champlain Bridge
February 17th, 2011 · No Comments · Adirondack News
Design Created by 16-Yr-old Hannaford Career Center Student
Crown Point, N.Y./Addison, Vt. – The Lake Champlain Bridge Community, the grassroots organization entrusted to create, plan and lead the public festivities that will celebrate the replacement and re-opening of the Lake Champlain Bridge, is pleased to unveil the logo design that will be used to promote the event.
The Lake Champlain Bridge Community solicited Vermont- and New York-based professional and student graphic artists to submit prospective designs, pro bono. The selected design was created by Linus Biederman, a junior in the Design & Illustration Program at the Patricia A. Hannaford Career Center in Middlebury, Vt. Linus is a Middlebury resident and the son of William Biederman and Gloria van den Berg. He is also an active member of the Middlebury Union High School varsity boy’s lacrosse team.
The logo will be used on the Community’s website, letterhead, marketing collateral, event materials, and commemorative merchandise promoting the re-opening festivities for the Lake Champlain Bridge.
“We couldn’t be happier with the design chosen. Linus captured the essence of what the Community is all about—the new bridge and its importance in the reunification of the regional communities of Crown Point and Addison, as well as bordering towns on both sides of Lake Champlain,” said Lorraine Franklin, co-chair of the LCB Community and co-owner of West Addison General Store.
Website Design Donated by Wolpin & Associates
A new website design is underway and will be launched by the end of February 2011. The design work is being donated by Wolpin & Associates, based in Bristol, Vt. Wolpin & Associates is the consulting practice of Joyce Wolpin, a marketing and computer specialist. Ms. Wolpin’s skills combine 28 years of direct marketing experience with web site design and development expertise.
“As an unfunded grassroots organization, we don’t have the resources to hire the expertise we needed to give us a presence on the Web,” said Sue Hoxie, communications chair of the Lake Champlain Bridge Community. “Joyce stepped forward and volunteered her services, which we greatly appreciate. Having a professionally-designed website to promote the celebration activities will help educate and attract nearby residents as well as out-of-town visitors to this important regional event.”
