TICONDEROGA — When Andrew terSteege receives his diploma during today’s commencement ceremony at Ticonderoga High School, he’ll set a record that will never be broken. terSteege had perfect attendance while attending school. Not just high school, all school. terSteege never missed a day of class from kindergarten through graduation — that’s 2,353 days without an absence. “It’s not a huge accomplishment,� terSteege said. “It’s not something people normally do, so I can see why people find it interesting. Really, though, it’s no big deal.� The perfect attendance record isn’t something terSteege sought. “I was in middle school when I realized I’d never missed a day of school,� he said. “I decided to try to make it through eighth grade without missing a day. I did that, then decided four more years would be OK.�

Committee to review proposed zoning changes State grants Ticonderoga six-month extension By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Proposed changes to the Ticonderoga zoning law are on hold. The town board has appointed a committee to review the proposed revisions after learning the town
planning board is too busy to complete the task. “It was just too much for the planning board to do along with all its regular work,� Supervisor Deb Malaney explained. “The new committee will meet every two weeks until it completes its review.� The zoning revision project is funded by a Quality Communities
grant from the New York State Department of State. That grant expired March 31, but the state has granted Ticonderoga a six-month extension to finish the zoning project — which has been in the works for three years. The existing Ticonderoga zoning law is 30 years old, Malaney said. It has been amended 20 times. In 2009 a resident’s committee with the help of a paid consultant, Brandy Saxton
