ELIZABETHTOWN | Essex County Board of Supervisors honored two law enforcement officers for a swift, selfless and courageous response to the Ticonderoga Country Club fire that destroyed Emeralds Restaurant in late May. Essex County Sheriff Deputy Kaycee Kolodzey, of Moriah, and Ticonderoga Police Department Patrolman Dennis Towne went into the restaurant as smoke started pouring from the kitchen. Flames were just starting to erupt from what was apparently a propane tank explosion in the kitchen. Essex County Sheriff Richard C. Cutting addressed the full board with the writ approved by the Public Safety Committee in June. “They repeatedly went into the building and got people out,” Cutting told the supervisors. “They put their personal safety and wherewithal aside.” The two officers then accounted for all guests, and secured and maintained safety watch at the fire scene as firefighters fought the blaze. » Officers honored Cont. on pg. 2

D-DAY VETERAN
By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER
The 15 graduates of Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School’s Class of 2018 honored U.S. Army Veteran John B. Elser as a legacy gift. Elser was one of 11 graduates in 1938 -- 80 years ago -- and fought in the Battle of the Hedgerows at Normandy. The brass plate will be placed on the Memorial Wall at the Essex County Veterans Cemetery.
ELIZABETHTOWN | At graduation, the Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School Class of 2018 had a special gift for a late local veteran. The lifelong resident of Elizabethtown, John B. Elser Jr., who served in World War II, has no remaining family here, but his
The Class of 2018 did not forget. They reached out months ago to the Veteran’s Affairs office here to see if they might find a way to show appreciation for a local veteran. And Veteran’s Affairs Office Coordinator Sara Smith started to search. “It was the 80th high school graduation ceremony in Elizabethtown this year, so we looked to see who graduated 80 years ago, knowing that it would have been World War II era veterans. I was able to find 11 graduates from 1938,” Smith said. » Veteran gift Cont. on pg. 5
