johng@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Dunkin’ Donuts location that has been vacant since April 2008 will soon reopen under new ownership. Work has already begun inside and outside the Wicker Street store. New owner Greg Sagris and his business partners, Frank and Ari Souliotis, hope to have the facility open for business by May 20, the weekend before Memorial Day. Alex Shmulsky, a Ticonderoga attorney representing the owners, said the partners have extensive experience operating Dunkin’ Donuts franchises. The trio own and operate 11 other stores, nine of which are in Vermont and two of which are in New Hampshire. Shmulsky said he helped draw up the paperwork to form the Ticonderoga Dunkin’ Donuts LLC and said Sagris and Frank and Ari Souliotis are excited to be opening a store in Ti. “America runs on Dunkin’ and now so does Ticonderoga,” Shmulsky said.

Virginia LaPointe, the longtime librarian at Ticonderoga High School, gave a spellbinding reading of her article “The Haunted Major” to the local Torch Club last week.
“The Haunted Major” vividly recounts the troubled tale of a man present at Lincoln’s assassination, Henry Rathbone, who subsequently declined into madness and murder. LaPointe said she was initially drawn to the story by a work of historical fiction, “Henry and Clara,” by Thomas Mallon and that she consulted about a half dozen sources, including newspapers from the time and recent magazine articles, while
writing her paper. LaPointe said she was so interested in the project that she stayed up working on it until 4 a.m. some nights and revised it until just before her presentation.
