TICONDEROGA Ñ A national retailer is coming to Ticonderoga. Runnings, a privately-held chain based in Minnesota, plans to move into the former LoweÕ s building on Wicker Street. The store is expected to open next spring. Ò WeÕ re evaluating a building in Ticonderoga,Ó Dennis Jensen, Runnings director of marketing, said.

It has been vacant since. Runnings offers a wide variety of items, Jensen said, including sporting goods, clothing, footwear, tools, home goods, lawn and garden supplies, toys, pet supplies, farm goods and more. Ò All of the sorts of things people need for their lives can be found in Runnings,Ó he said. Ò You can think of us as lots of different stores under one

Ticonderoga native directs feature film By Seth Lang fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ For Ticonderoga native Zachary Donohue, directing his first feature film has been a dream come true. “The Den,” a horror film about a young woman who earns a grant to study social interactions on a webcam site, witnesses a brutal murder, and finds herself and her loved ones pegged as the killerÕ s next target, pre-

miered in Russia earlier this year on over 700 theater screens. The film opened in the U.S. on March 14 at the IFC Center in New York City and is currently ranked secondÑ only behind Ò CarrieÓ Ñ on the iTunes horror movie chart. Ò The DenÓ is now available for viewing locally on Time Warner Cable OnDemand and on iTunes. Donohue co-wrote the screenplay with girlfriend Lauren Thompson. He also directed the flick.
