But when we went to work we found so .many interesting doeuments, heretofore unpublished, bearing upon our subject, that the work has obtained larger proportions than we expected.

    Lake Champlain For ships named after the lake, see USS Lake Cham- plain. For homonymy, see Champlain. Lake Champlain (French: Lac Champlain) is a nat- ural freshwater lake in North America, located mainly within the borders of the United States (states of Vermont and New York) but partially situated across the Canada– United States border in the Canadian province of Quebec. The New York portion of the Champlain Valley includes the eastern portions of Clinton County and Essex County. Most of this area is part of the Adirondack Park. There are recreational opportunities in the park and along the relatively undeveloped coastline of Lake Champlain. The cities of Plattsburgh, New York and Burlington, Vermont are on the west and east shores of the lake, respectively, and the village of Ticonderoga, New York is located in the southern part of the region. The Quebec portion is located in the regional county municipalities of Le Haut- Richelieu and Brome-Missisquoi. 1 Geology The Champlain Valley is the northernmost unit of a land- form system known as the Great Appalachian Valley, which stretches from Quebec to Alabama. The Cham- plain Valley is a physiographic section of the larger Saint Lawrence Valley, which in turn is part of the larger Appalachian physiographic division.[1] It is one of numerous large lakes located in an arc from Labrador through the northern United States and into the Northwest Territories of Canada. Although it is smaller than each of the Great Lakes: Ontario, Erie, Huron, Superior, or Michigan, Lake Champlain is a large body of fresh water.

  • UVM Medical Center Reverses Policy; Will Provide Elective Abortions UVM Medical Center Reverses Policy; Will Provide Elective Abortions
    8/16/2018 UVM Medical Center reverses policy; will provide elective abortions UVM Medical Center reverses policy; will provide elective abortions Dan D'Ambrosio, Free Press Staff Writer Published 5:35 p.m. ET Jan. 25, 2018 | Updated 10:27 a.m. ET Jan. 26, 2018 The University of Vermont Medical Center now offers elective abortion services, eliminating a policy in place for 45 years to provide abortions only in cases of medical necessity. The change was made in September by the board of trustees without any public notification. A spokeswoman for UVM Medical Center said it is not the hospital's usual practice to publicize board decisions. Buy Photo Ellen Kane, spokeswoman for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington, said she first became aware of the (Photo: GLENN RUSSELL/FREE change as a rumor, when parishioners began calling to ask about the policy, which is counter to Catholic PRESS FILE) opposition to abortion. "We're not wanting to tell UVM Medical Center how to do their business, but what's so surprising is there was no public disclosure, especially in Vermont where you can't change a light bulb without a meeting," Kane said. Kane pointed out that the UVM Medical Center Fanny Allen Campus in Colchester is owned by Covenant Health, a Catholic regional health delivery network based in Tewksbury, Massachusetts. Kane said UVM Medical Center leases the property from Covenant Health, which requires the hospital to follow the "ethical principles of the Catholic Church." "We got recent confirmation, but it was verbal, that the lease on the Fanny Allen Campus will be honored," Kane said.
