SALISBURY — Between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on any given work day, residents and their guests at Lake Dunmore are likely to see a coordinated team of nine working toward a common goal: ridding the lake of Eurasian watermilfoil (commonly called milfoil), a feathery invasive weed that has been choking Dunmore and its neighbor, Fern Lake, for decades.

The crew has three boats, called suction harvesters, and they collect anywhere between 20 and 100 buckets of the unwanted plant per day.

For the past four years, Ladeau, a 45-year-old Bristol resident and the owner of Otter Creek Custom Framing in Middlebury, has been running, hiking and lifting his way through some of the toughest obstacle courses around.

Ladeau said the passion started out as a dare among gym buddies.
