Low- and moderate-income residents are urged to apply soon, since funding is limited and awards are made from a waitlist. Local nonprofit North Country Rural Development Coalition is administering the program and answering eligibility questions.
   

2. How police retraced Frattolin's steps following alleged murder (news10.com) — Jurors are hearing detailed testimony about how investigators retraced a father’s movements after his nine-year-old daughter was reported missing and later found dead near Short Swing Trail in Paragon Brook by Exit 28 in Ticonderoga. Recent court sessions focused on a three-hour overnight drive along I-87, recorded as police tried to pinpoint where the girl was allegedly abducted. The defendant faces murder and concealment charges as the trial continues.
   

3. North Elba continues discussion on enacting temporary moratorium (suncommunitynews.com) — Ticonderoga is among several Adirondack towns that have already paused large solar and battery energy storage projects, a move now under consideration in North Elba. As North Elba weighs fire, environmental, and land-use concerns, its decision could influence how future energy projects roll out regionally. Residents can follow updates through the town and village’s official website.
   

4. GALLERY: Reeling in largemouth and smallmouth bass on Lake Champlain (majorleaguefishing.com) — Bass pros are again eyeing the Ticonderoga end of Lake Champlain, where southern largemouth have historically produced tournament-winning bags, though brutal winds limited practice this week. With restricted LiveScope use and uncertain smallmouth patterns, anglers may lean more on Ti’s shallow largemouth if conditions stabilize. Local readers who fish Champlain will see how this mix shapes the three-day pro event.
