Officials retain belief that golf course fire was accidental By Tim Rowland STA FF W RITER
TICONDEROGA | The 18-year-old Ticonderoga firefighter charged with burning down a vacant barn this week was also one of four people injured last month in a fire that destroyed the Ticonderoga Golf Course clubhouse and restaurant. Officials said they believe this was a coincidence, and do not suspect that the teen was responsible for the clubhouse fire. Ticonderoga Fire Chief Matthew Watts said it appears at this point that the firefighter, who was also an employee of the clubhouse restaurant, did not play a role in the blaze. » Arson Cont. on pg. 4

SCHROON COUPLE PLANS COMMUNITY WEDDING
TICONDEROGA | In an area where the fabric of America was first stitched, Ticonderoga and its surrounding communities did much more to contribute to the foundation of the United States of America than being a stronghold at times of war. “The Champlain Valley, with Ticonderoga at its strategic heart, has shaped the political geography of North America,” said Matthew Keagle, curator at Fort Ticonderoga. “From its origin as a boundary between the native nations of the continent prior to European colonization, it remained a disputed zone between colonial powers before being disputed by the newly independent United States during the Revolution.”
