Ti group visits China Locals viewed as celebrities
By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Brad Pitt, George Clooney. Patrick Lonergan. Patrick Lonergan? Yes, the Ticonderoga High School senior was mistaken for a movie star while visiting China recently. “Chinese impressions of
America all come from movies,” explained Maria Bagneschi, who led the Ti Travel Group to China last month along with Debbie Breitenbach. “I think every person in China has seen ‘Forrest Gump’ and believes it’s an actual representation of America. “They’re very interested in us,” she continued. “We went to China to learn about their culture, but we ended up teaching them a lot about our culture.” See TICONDEROGA, page 8
Bridge artifacts sought by state By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Preparing for the opening of a new Lake Champlain Bridge, state officials are seeking memorabilia about the old one. The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation is appealing to the public to share information about the historic bridge that may be used to develop displays. Photographs, documents, brochures, toll tickets, and signs are being sought. The agency is responsible for developing interpretive signs, displays and a resource guide to commemorate the 1929 Lake Champlain Bridge.

Schroon officials consider library move
By Jon Hochschartner jonh@denpubs.com
SCHROON LAKE — The Schroon Lake Public Library is so cramped its board of trustees can’t even hold meetings in the space, trustee Ralph Cooke said. It’s with these space constraints in mind that officials are considering moving the library to the former firehouse at 11 Broad St., Supervisor Cathy Moses said. Town board members and library trustees will hold a public meeting on the issue Thursday, June 16, at 10:30 a.m. at the medical center meeting room behind the town hall.
