Legal dispute delays repairs to boilers

Fort Ti opens its ‘Heroic Maze’ to the public.

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — A heated legal battle could keep the Ticonderoga Armory cold this winter. An oil-fired boiler exploded at the building, which serves as home to the Ti Area Senior Citizens and the local youth commission, last April. The blast destroyed one boiler and seriously damaged another, leaving the facility without heat. A subsequent legal dispute has prevented the town from making repairs. “We have every intention of getting heat into that building,” Supervisor Deb Malaney said. “We’re doing to do our best to keep them (seniors and children) where they are. Besides, we don’t want to have an empty building with no heat through the winter. We’re concerned about the damage the cold could do to the building.” The Armory also serves as home to the Adirondack Community Action Program nutrition site and as a community center.

CALENDAR

John Gereau weighs in on the state’s deer plan.

PORT HENRY — As it has done for more than 120 years, Moriah will mark the unofficial end of summer

with its annual Labor Day celebration. Activities are planned Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 3 and 4, in the village of Port Henry. The festivities are sponsored by the Moriah Chamber of Commerce. “We hope to have fun, a lot of good food and great weather,” said Jack Woods, president of the Moriah chamber. “We’re really looking for-

ward to it.” The celebration will begin Saturday when the North Country Travelers Band will perform at Port Henry beach 6 to 9 a.m. The concert will be followed by a fireworks display at the beach. A chicken barbecue will be held at noon Sunday on Main Street at the intersection of St. Patrick’s Place. At the same time groups will start lin-

ing up for the traditional Labor Day parade, which will start at 1 p.m. The theme for the parade this year is “The Champlain Bridge.” A new Champlain Bridge linking the area with Vermont is scheduled to open this fall. Martin Bezon, who was at the opening of the old bridge in 1928, will serve as parade grand marshal. CONTINUED ON PAGE 17
