Group to promote arts, artisans locally
Oktoberfest will descend on the hamlet.
By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — An arts council is being formed in Ticonderoga. The new gr oup hopes to coordinate the activities of existing arts or ganizations, plan events and promote the arts in the community. “It’s making the statement that T iconderoga supports the arts and artisans,” explained Deb Malaney. “That arts ar e an integral part of our community.” Malaney is T iconderoga supervisor, but the arts council is not a governmentaffiliated or ganization. The volunteer gr oup is working in conjunction with the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance. Malaney is also a member of the alliance. “The town board supports the arts council, but it is not a town committee and will not use any taxpayer money,” Malaney said. “This is strictly a volunteer effort.” Ticonderoga’s town board adopted a resolution in support of the arts council at its August meeting.

Effort under way to honor Podres PORT HENRY — Johnny Podres was a World Series legend. Pat Salerno wants to be certain everyone r emembers it.
Salerno is leading an effort to erect a sign at the south entrance to Port Henry honoring Podres, the 1955 World Series Most V aluable Player and native son. “I knew Johnny well and I think this is the best way to r emember him,” Salerno said. “He’s a hometown hero who had a tre mendous influence on a lot of people. I think future generations should be aware of his 50 years in major league base-
ball.” Podres, who died in 2008, grew up on Lamos Place in W itherbee. He graduated fr om Mineville High School in 1950 befor e joining the Brooklyn Dodgers. After a long career as a pitcher and later as a pitching coach, Podres retired to Queensbury. A fund has been set up to raise the $2,000 needed for the sign. Salerno CONTINUED ON PAGE 16
