By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Facing a state mandate, the town of Ticonderoga is about to begin a comprehensive water system upgrade. Town officials hope to replace the existing water system, which draws water from Lake George and Gooseneck Pond, with a series of wells. “The issues are daunting,” Wayne Taylor, Ti trustee, said of the town’s water system problems. “We want to do what’s best for our town now and in the future. We feel this is the right move.” The proposed groundwater project is estimated to cost up to $13.8 million. That’s actually a bargain. The state Department of Health has ordered Ticonderoga to either replace Gooseneck or cover it. Covering the reservoir carries an estimated cost of $31 million.

tie-dye pink. The teams took part in a Cancer Awareness Game as part of National Cancer Awareness Month, an idea that started in a meeting of local athletic directors and turned into a cause to help one of the Wildcats’ own. “We were at an AD meeting in Lake Placid and they brought it to our attention that we could do one of these games to promote cancer

awareness,” Schroon Lake Athletic Director and girls varsity soccer coach Mary Lou Shaughnessy said. “Brad (Rascoe, Westport AD and girls varsity coach) and I got together and figured out that we wanted to do this.” “Our players were more than open to the idea,” Rascoe said. “We asked them what they wanted to do for uniforms and came up with the variations on the pink uniforms.
