Literacy Volunteers active in county More than 150 students taking part By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — Students, of all ages, are back in classrooms. That includes students in the Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties program.

“During this time of the year, many families focus on their children’s education, but not much thought is given to adult education and how it impacts our individual homes or our communities,” said Maria Burke, Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties director. “Believe it or not, there are approximately 30 million adults in the Unit-

over 150 students, including neighbors in your community, inmates at local prisons, and foreign-born workers in local businesses,” Burke said. “A majority of these students have shown academic gains and higher reading levels during the past year. Four students received their citizenship and many others improved their reading, writing, CONTINUED ON PAGE 23

T I C O N D E R O G A — D r. Ginger Weeks loved the people at the St. Joseph’s Addiction Treatment and Recovery Center out-patient clinic in Ticonderoga. And, they loved her. “Ginger had a real passion for people in recovery,” said Jim Grant, St. Joseph’s communications director, “and she had a great fondness for the people of Ticonderoga. Everyone loved Ginger. We were blessed to have her.” Weeks died in May at age 84. A pediatrician by trade, she served as a physician with St. Joseph’s the past 25 years. That’s why the newlyrenovated and expanded Ti clinic was dedicated in her memory recently. A plaque was placed on the outside wall of the Ti clinic, located at 50 Montcalm St., reading: “The Ginger Weeks Building. St. Joseph’s Addiction Treatment and Recovery Centers Ticonderoga Outpatient Clinic. Dedicated to the memory of Ginger ’s 25 years
