TICONDEROGA — A food co-op store is being investigated in Ticonderoga. The town has received a Quality Communities Planning Grant from the New York Department of State to study the feasibility of creating a food co-op in the community. “We’re more apt to get a co-op type store than a chain grocery store,” Ti Supervisor Deb Malaney said. “This will allow us to see what our options are.” The town is working with PRIDE of Ticonderoga on the study. A food cooperative or food co-op is a grocery store owned, organized and operated by members. Since decisions about how to run a cooperative are not made by outside shareholders, cooperatives often exhibit a high degree of social responsibility with an emphasis on local, natural foods. “The town will work on this along with PRIDE,”

50 children, from infants to age 13, this year, Mehm said. “As in numerous years past, toys and other items are gathered from within the community,” Mehm said, “and then those special items are delivered to each household. The wishes are so simple, like warm boots, mittens or a baby doll. They touch my heart and help put the season into perspective for me.” Mehm and Christmas Express participants are asking people to make gift donations and to support the CONTINUED ON PAGE 20
