Wildcats still unbeaten in MVAC.

The Ticonderoga home of John Scuderi was destroyed by fire Jan. 19. Firefighters from Ticonderoga, Chilson, Hague, Putnam, Crown Point and Port Henry responded and stayed on scene more than six hours as strong winds hampered their efforts. The Ticonderoga Emergency Squad was also at the scene and was needed to assist three injured firefighters. All three were treated at Moses Ludington Hospital and released. See story, photo inside.

MINEVILLE — Pre-Tech Precision Machining keeps a low-profile. “I’m not sure how many people even know we’re here,” said Jim Kahler, manager of PreTech’s Mineville production facility. “I think people would be surprised to learn what we do.”

Pre-Tech may be a well-kept secret locally, but it’s known to people in the aerospace industry. The local shop recently received coveted AS9100C certification. AS9100C is the quality management standard specifically written for the aerospace industry awarded by the Online Aerospace Supplier Information System. The certification places Pre-Tech among the best in the Aerospace and Defense Quality Management System International Standard. “It’s great news,” Kahler said. “It’s confirmation that we’re doing things the right way.”

The certification may also be key to future expansion of the Pre-Tech Mineville facility. “We hope this will allow us to branch out to new customers,” Kahler said. “There are companies that won’t deal with you without the AS9100C. The first thing they ask is if you are certified. “We’re doing well here, we stay busy,” the manager continued, “but we’d like to get more business and expand in the future.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 20

TICONDEROGA — A natural food co-op in Ticonderoga could be successful. That’s the result of a study conducted by a Minnesota consultant. “According to the market study, the population size, including seasonal residents, and demographic composition of the market area, as well as the weak competitive environment with respect to other natural and organic food stores, combined with the experiences of other natural food co-ops in similar market situations, it appears that there is sufficient sales potential to support a co-op food store,” said Sharon Reynolds, executive director of PRIDE. Ticonderoga officials turned their attention to the possible creation of a food co-op after failing to generate interest from large grocery chains in locating in the community. “We’re more apt to get a
