North Country Chamber turns 100 stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — “I’m here as Frank Hall and I died in 1903,” said John Krueger, standing in front of a large crowd, some silent, a few allowing an uncertain chuckle to escape them. “I am hanging out in Riverside Cemetery,” said the Clinton County Historian and Kent-Delord House Museum Executive Director. “I am available.” Krueger spoke at the North Country Chamber of Commerce’s 100th anniversary celebration in a room packed with members and representatives from various businesses and local officials. Krueger attended the event as Hall, husband of Frances Delord Webb and the

last member of the Delord family to have lived in the home. It was the summer of 1912, Krueger explained, and merchants recognized the need to come together as a formal group to improve Plattsburgh’s prosperity. “Things in Plattsburgh were not moving fast enough,” Krueger said. On April 22, 1912, a group of businessmen formed the Plattsburgh Chamber of Commerce, officially incorporating that October with 258 members and annual dues of $10. The Strand Theatre opened in the 1920s, as well as a new hospital on Beekman Street and the beach. The chamber, and many other groups, asked President Franklin Roosevelt in 1933 to change Thanksgiving from Nov. 30

PLATTSBURGH — Local winemakers are hosting an end-of-season holiday wine tour Dec. 15. The first-ever event will feature five wineries and one cidery in the Plattsburgh area. Amazing Grace Vineyard and Winery in Chazy, Hid-In-Pines Vineyard in Morrisonville, Vesco Ridge Vineyards in West Chazy, and the Champlain Wine Company, Everett Orchards and Elf ’s Farm, Winery and Cidermill, all in Plattsburgh, are participating in the tour. Debbie Everett, one of the owners of Everett Orchards, said the tasting tour will offer shoppers an opportunity to buy something local this holiday season. “A lot of people don’t know people are making wine and hard cider in the area,” Everett said. “This is to educate them about that and give them a chance to taste it, and if they like it they can buy it.” Everett said she would like everyone to enjoy the tour and be safe, so Everett Orchards will be giving away coffee and donuts to designated drivers. Everett Orchards is the only stop on the tour that exclusively sells hard cider, but it isn’t the only one to offer that kind of alcoholic beverage. Elf’s Farm Winery and Cider Mill will also have hard cider tasting, in addition to their red and white wines. Tom Frey, owner of Elf’s, has been in the winemaking business for six years, and said his hard cider is special because it’s aged in oak whiskey barrels, which helps it take on a bourbon flavor. “This hard cider is more like how it was made 200 years ago,” Frey said. Also on hand will be Adirondack Nouveau, a red wine released after this year ’s harvest of Frey’s cold climate Marquette grapes.

Holiday Member Show kicks off at NCCCA By Shaun Kittle

shaun@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — More than 40 artists will have their work on display through Jan. 12 at the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts annual Holiday Member Show. The opening reception took place Friday, Dec. 7, and gave attendees an opportunity to meet some of the artists and get first dibs on purchasing local artwork. The event also marked the unveiling of two new developments at the NCCCA — the gallery’s brand new floor and the transformation of the gift shop into a library. Artists at the opening mingled with the crowd and often commented on the wide variety of mediums on display, which included ceramics, stained glass, jewelry, photography and paintings. Most of the art at the Holiday Member Show is on sale, and, because of the holidays, can be picked up Dec. 20. One of the artists whose work is on display is photographer Ron Nolland, who can often be found at places like Ausable Point, where he enjoys an endless supply of subjects for his nature-inspired photographs. Nolland has been a member of NCCCA since 2005 and has three photos on display at the holiday exhibit. The body of his photographic work reflects the scale of nature—from the expansive wetland at Ausable Point to two fern fiddleheads bending toward one another. “Everything I do is abstract and nature photography,” Nolland said. “I love water, landscapes and close ups.” Nolland, who started shooting about nine years ago, quickly fell in love with capturing images. Now, with photographs on display at NCCCA, Stonybrook Gallery in Morrisonville and the Plattsburgh International Airport, it is safe to say it has evolved into more than a hobby. “I’m often on photo websites, taking inspiration from advanced hobbyists and enthusiasts,” Nolland said. “I like to look at what non-professional photographers are doing.” Nolland likes the sense of community amongst his fellow semi-pro photographers, and it is that community feel that Janine Scherline, executive director for the NCCCA, said the arts center is trying to create in the North Country. “This show is really about moving forward with our mission of connecting the community with the arts,” Scherline said. “We have so many talented people who are local in the region. Sometimes there’s this desire to bring in somebody

special, but I think we have a lot of special talents right here.” Displaying art in a gallery is one way to connect the community with local art, and Nancy and Dan Vesco have another. The couple own Vesco Ridge Vineyards in West Chazy, and they provided free tastings of four of their wines at the Holiday Member Show. This year, the label on their limited edition wine, Authentic Adirondack Coast New York Red Table Wine, features a painting called Adirondack Harvest, which won an Adirondack Coast ARTWays Project contest last year. The money comes full circle, as the Vescos donate a portion of each sale of the wine to the NCCCA. Amy Guglielmo, the painter whose work adorns the bottle, is also one of the many painters whose work is on display at the show.

Essex County’s own fiscal cliff Don’t worry, be happy

he latest estimate of the world’s demise has humanity’s fate sealed on Dec. 21, the Winter Solstice. If we manage to survive, historians will no doubt write about how we avoided certain doom only to face another, equally apocalyptic threat—the dreaded fiscal cliff. Yes, we might finally see the culmination of our elected official’s inability to accomplish anything of benefit to the rest of us, and it all seems so surreal, so distant, so beyond our control. But there is a way to get closer to the action, and all it takes is a trip to Essex County, home of the North Country’s own fiscal cliff debacle. Essex County’s fiscal cliff is not quite of the same magnitude as its big brother, but its proceedings do reflect a similar indecisive bickering that has been playing out at the national level. There are a lot of numbers and figures and percentages involved, but the bottom line is, if the Essex County board fails to start thinking ahead, things could become much worse in the upcoming years, regardless of who’s in charge. Essex County Manager Dan Palmer knows this, and he has officially removed himself from the equation as of Jan. 1. His announcement to retire came after he failed to convince county supervisors to accept a 3-year budget plan, and he isn’t going out without a few parting words. Palmer has warned the board that its current course, which will likely see the wounded budget haphazardly stitched together by the fund balance, is a dangerous one at best. Here’s how it works: Essex County collects taxes from its citizens and uses that money to pay for all kinds of services. There are things that have a known budget, like money allotted to pay county employees salaries, and there are things that are budgeted for, like road work, that might come in under that budget. The unused tax money is the fund balance, and it is particularly good for dealing with emergencies, such as the spring storm of 2011 and damage incurred by Tropical Storm Irene, which depleted the fund balance by $2.8 million last year. Essex County’s current course will see it utilizing that fund balance money to the tune of about $7 million to balance the county budget and meet the tax cap. The $2.8 million that went toward post-Irene re-

pairs is eventually supposed to be repaid by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, but it should be put back where it belongs — in the fund balance. The same can be said for the other $4 million or so of fund balance money that is being used to keep the tax levy down. As Irene taught us, the fund balance can come in handy, but the current budget proposal would only leave about $1 million in there if FEMA doesn’t come through, and that’s a scary thought considering the damage that has been incurred by storms in recent years. The kicker here is that the county tabled one of the more solid proposals — raising the occupancy tax to 5 percent, a 2 percent increase. The increase might not be popular among hoteliers, particularly the small scale operations, who fear that the extra charge would result in a decrease in tourism. But would a 2-percent increase, which amounts to $3 more for a $150-anight room, really deter people that much? It might be worth including something like that in the budget, considering County Treasurer Mike Diskin projects it will bring in $1.2 million. The occupancy tax certainly wouldn’t solve all of Essex County’s problems, but it would exhibit a modicum of foresight on the part of Essex County supervisors. The time to patch holes and wait until next year to see if they’ve sprung a leak is long gone — now is the time for action and making decisions that will have positive and expected long-term consequences. Dan Palmer knows it, which is refreshing until you realize that is also why he’s retiring — he doesn’t have faith that the current board can accomplish this, and he doesn’t want to be standing next to that dam when it bursts. At a recent meeting, Town of Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava said that personnel is the elephant in the room, and that the county needs to consider consolidating some of its staff, which is probably true, but the real elephant in the room isn’t the pachyderm — it’s the people feeding it. This editorial is the collaborative opinion of a board comprised of Thom Randall, Fred Herbst, Shaun Kittle, Keith Lobdell, Stephen Bartlett, Andy Flynn, Katherine Clark and John Gereau.

come from a long line of worriers. As a youngster and even as an adult I found it difficult to understand why mom would worry about the smallest of things. When you’re young, life’s an adventure. Each day brings new opportunity. Today it may have rained but tomorrow is sure to be sunny and bright. Tomorrow was always a new day, full of opportunity, new events that would shape the day and the world. Change was good. Change was exciting. Change was welcomed. So why is it that as you age, not only do things start to sag, hair grows grey and recedes and your concern for things both in your control and beyond, begin to weigh heavy on your mind? Change is not so good. Change brings turmoil and confusion. Change is uncomfortable and triggers resistance. Mom, and her mom before her, would stress out over the big news of the day as well as the every day tasks. Tested by the great depression, two world wars, an evolving cold war, Korean Conflict, Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, assassinations, riots in the street and political corruption, they had plenty of big things to worry about. Looking back their world went from one major crisis event to another. Despite their fears and concerns there was always an optimism that things would turnout okay. There was a happiness that calmed the underlining fears. They had faith, they had family, they had a society that somehow gave them an inner confidence. They were told that they had nothing to fear but fear itself. So they went about the tasks of the days building their lives and their future, focused on their jobs, their family and their dependence on each other. As I age I find myself more stressed than in my early years. Not only do I worry about the big issues of the day, national and international events, but even the little things seem to be a greater concern than they once did. There are plenty

of major issues to fret about as the world turns and there is always any number of Dan Alexander little things in Thoughts from life to bring Behind the Pressline about heartburn and sleepless nights. Is worrying about life’s ups and downs hardwired into my DNA, a hereditary trait, or is it just a function of aging? Or, does it come about as you begin to realize your plans for the future don’t always work out given the ebb and flow of an ever changing landscape and with those you share the world. A recent survey revealed that a resilient attitude may be the secret to aging successfully. In fact they believe a positive attitude may be more important to aging than good physical health. So there may be some truth to the old wives tale of worrying one’s self to death. So the bottom line is this; Mayan calendar predicting the end of the world on December 21st of this year; fiscal cliff looming on the horizon; financial struggles; personal concerns; what to write in next week’s column…. Hey, bring em on. There is little we can’t overcome if we approach things with a positive, can do attitude. If we’ve learned anything through out time there will always be issues beyond our control and as mere humans we are fallible, destined to trip up. We only make things worse for ourselves if we dwell on the negative. We need to be responsible for our actions but we only go around once so we need to make the most of what we’ve been given, keep our focus on the future and our optimism high. Life is short. Every day is a gift, which is why they call it the “present.” Dan Alexander is owner and publisher of Denton Publications. He may be reached at dan@denpubs.com.

Stonybrook hosts open house By Shaun Kittle

shaun@denpubs.com MORRISONVILLE — Stonybrook Gallery isn’t difficult to find, but it does blend right in with the country setting on Mason Street in Morrisonville. As visitors pull into the driveway they are greeted by chickens that are quick to steer clear of vehicles and a horse, whose best friend is a goat, that placidly stands by, watching as people approach the little red gallery. The building is like a one-room schoolhouse, but smaller, and sits back from the road near a large meadow, across the lawn from a house and just past a clucking rooster. Inside, there is art, and it’s everywhere. Stonybrook Gallery is packed with pottery, paintings, wintertime wool apparel, photographs, jewelry, children’s books, candles, puzzles, cards, holiday decorations and lawn sculptures, all of which are hand-crafted by local artists, and all of which are on sale. The exhibition is all part of Stonybrook Gallery’s Holiday Open House, which kicked off on Saturday, Dec. 1. “It just started as an idea to have a community event to sell local art without a high cost,” said Nancy Rendinaro, owner of the gallery.

Now the event sees a constant flow of visitors, who all seem content to take their time milling in and out of the varied artistic mediums on display. To put it all together, Stonybrook Gallery has a board consisting of 12 artists who help set up and tear down exhibits and review prospective artists, ultimately determining who to bring into their fold. “We all make the decisions on what is happening here,” Rendinaro said. “We try to bring in new people who have something different to offer. The beautiful thing is, the gallery is always changing.” Rendinaro opened the gallery about four years ago as a place to put her pottery. “Pottery is very heavy,” Rendinaro said with a laugh. Over the years Stonybrook has continued to attract an array of artists as it quickly grew into the artist co-operative it is today. One of the board members, Penny Clute, has photographs for sale at the Holiday Open House, and is also selling puzzles that feature her outdoors-inspired photos. “I enjoy the experience of photographing, of being somewhere,” Clute said. “The awareness of my surroundings that has grown in me is part of photography.” Clute pointed to a close-up photo she took

of tufted seeds exploding from an opened milkweed pod. “I’ve done some macro but tend to stick with landscapes,” she said. Clute took a photo workshop in the Adirondacks five years ago, and has since entered her work in several juried shows, and had a solo show at Clinton Community College last June. She has also taken week-long photography workshops in Zion National Park, Utah; the Oregon Coast; Crested Butte, Colorado and

New Hampshire. “Each place has a different texture, a different experience,” Clute said. “But it’s always good to come back home.” Stonybrook Gallery is located at 72 Mason Street in Morrisonville, just south of the intersection of Rt. 22B and Salmon River Rd. The Holiday Open House is open Dec. 15, 16 and 22, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. For more information, visit stonybrookpottery.com or call 563-0689.

The Children’s Place is on its way to Champlain Centre By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — It’s the largest children specialty apparel retailer in North America. Anyone from newborns to teenagers can find clothes on its shelves. And it’s coming to Plattsburgh. The Children’s Place is slated to open in Champlain Centre. “The Children’s Place is another best in category tenant,” said Champlain Centre General Manager David Napolitan. As of this past October, there were more than 1,100 Children’s

Place locations. The company says it sells stylish clothes and accessories from newborn to size 14, “at value prices that reflect the company’s motto ‘Big Fashion, Little Prices.’” Construction on The Children’s Place is scheduled to begin in February, with an opening targeted for late spring. The store will be located next to Foot Locker and in front of JCPenney. “Champlain Center, operated by Pyramid Management Group, is thrilled to welcome the Children’s Place into the Centre,” Napolitan said. “This is the second children’s store that will be opening in the mall.

“The addition of The Children’s Place, along with our recently announced Crazy 8 store, gives our customers two great options for children’s clothing.” The Children’s Place designs, contracts to manufacture and sells its merchandise primarily under the proprietary The Children’s Place brand name.

between Plattsburgh and Punta Gorda, a popular North Country destination,” said Plattsburgh Airport Manager Chris Krieg. “Since commencing service at Plattsburgh in 2007, Allegiant Air has been instrumental to the success of the airport. “The addition of Punta Gorda service, along with the recently announced Las Vegas flights, points to the strength of the Plattsburgh/Montreal market, and we look forward to the continued partnership between Allegiant Air and the Plattsburgh International Airport and the pursuit of future growth opportunities,” Krieg said. The Southwest Florida Coast destination features beach-front dining, exotic wildlife and a wide variety of recreation in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Punta Gorda Airport is centrally located midway between the beaches of Fort Meyers shore and Sarasota’s tropical island communities.

PLATTSBURGH — Allegiant Air is offering new, nonstop jet service between Plattsburgh and Fort Meyers/Punta Gorda, via Punta Gorda Airport, beginning Feb. 23. Allegiant Air will introduce the new service with fares as low as $109.99 one way. “We are pleased to bring a new affordable and convenient travel option for Plattsburgh residents,” said Andrew C. Levy, Allegiant Travel Company President. “We are confident the community will appreciate the value of flying nonstop to Southwest Florida and the value of bundling their air, hotel and car rental reservations together.” The new flights will operate twice weekly between Plattsburgh

International Airport and Punta Gorda Airport, starting Feb. 23. “Plattsburgh International was already the affordable fun and sun airport for northern New York and the Montreal region, and now Punta Gorda and Southwest Florida join all of the other great destinations being enjoyed from Montreal’s U.S. Airport,” said Garry Douglas, President of the North Country Chamber of Commerce. “We know from past experience that this service will be another success for our airport and for Allegiant, and the Chamber and its members are very pleased to have been able to work with our partners at Allegiant to help make this happen.” Plattsburgh travelers can take advantage of low fares and save more when they book air, hotel, car and activity and attraction reservations together.

PLATTSBURGH — One woman’s words and another woman’s collection of hundreds of stuffed animals led to the delivery of Christmas presents for fostered children across the country. For Mechelle Mesec and her coworkers a book passed around the office, “Peter ’s Lullaby,” a true story of a child growing up in Plattsburgh with an abusive mother, was a devastating story. For Mesec the book was a catalyst that drove her to help, so she began collecting teddy bears in 2011. “I started with a goal of 934 bears, because Peter lived 934 days—he was just a baby,” Mesec said. “We were able to send 1,166 bears (in 2011).” For Christmas 2012, Mesec and others shipped 1092 bears. Mesec said her campaign for teddy bears was inspired when a co-worker named Beth Bryer, who was attending SUNY Plattsburgh for child services, brought the book “Peter ’s Lullaby” in. Mesec said the book quickly circulated around the office. “When Beth told us about this program it broke our hearts,” Mesec said. “I started thinking about all the bears I had collected over the years and how much better they would be with a kid than in my attic.” “Peter ’s Lullaby” was written by Jeanie Fowler about her painful childhood. Jeanie’s mother, an alcoholic, beat Jeanie and her brother Peter. After being taken from their mother, Jeanie and her brother were put into loving foster homes, but their mother later got them back and brought them to Chicago where Jeanier lived for an entire year, tied up in a closet with a bucket. Jeanie’s brother Peter lived in the bathroom, tied to a heater until his mother beat him to death with a wooden ironing board. Mesec said in the book, Jeanie wrote how her brother Peter ’s humming at night brought her comfort that he was still alive and gave her the strength to go on another day. With the restraints cutting into her wrists, Peter ’s humming made her feel OK to sleep. “It’s a ‘should read,’ but a very hard read,” Mesec said. “It’ll break your heart.” After reading the book, Mesec became aware of Jeanie’s charitable organization that tries to provide foster children with comforts through Big Fam-

All services are free, and on Thursday, Dec. 13, from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Impeerium is hosting an open house at its location at 14 Healey Avenue with light refreshments. “The state realized the need is there,” King said. “Peer to peer is a different relationship than clinician to client.” But she stressed that Impeerium does not operate in place of other professionals, but in conjunction with them.

ily of Michigan. In a video on Jeanie’s website, Jeanie said “I saw a real need to give to these children things that I didn’t get when I was in the system. And so I started collecting teddy bears for children to have something soft to hang onto to them, giving them a birthday party to acknowledge that they existed and that people cared about them.” Jeanie started “Big Family of Michigan” in memory of Peter to help foster children so they would not go through what she and her siblings endured. The organization cares for kids from the time they enter the foster system until they are fostered out, and provides items including clothes, personal items, suitcases and school supplies. Jeanie believes every child needs a teddy bear. Mesec said the collection of the bears was a great collaborative effort. “Everyone wanted to help,” Mesec said. “Bears came from so many places and people, we also picked them up at lawn sales, garage sales and flea markets. Some given free and some for 25 cents. The bears all got a bath, a ribbon, if needed new stuffing, new noses or surgery.” “It was really fun doing it, and it took some of the pain from the book,” Mesec said. “Anything good to wipe out something bad is always a good thing.” Mesec wanted to thank Alissa Hoff, the American Legion, Amy LeClair, Anne Brown, April Guynup, Ausable school, Barbara Boyea, Beekmantown School, Bonnie Benner, Carmelle Monette, Cindy Decoste, CVPHMC, Darcey Castine, David and Sandy Schwartz, David Belrose, Debbie Chapmen, Diane Brockway, Dolly Leturneau, Donna Bechard, Elizabeth Bryer, Eye Care for the Adirondack, Genienkeh Bingo Hall, Jane Hercht & Friends in Vt.

works peers with community activities. The benefits advisor assists with filling out forms, such as Medicaid and SSI. “We offer support that is very individualized,” King said. One person might walk in wanting to learn how to use a computer, someone else may need an ear, perhaps another individual has trouble filling out forms. “We are here to assist individuals to move forward and gain confidence and skills and empower them to do whatever they want to do,” King said. King always wanted to help others and enjoys working with people. She’s earning a degree in mental health counseling and after she was hired this past July, she began setting up the office and looking for peers to fill the positions. “The peer-based program is kind of new, and we are all learning and gathering information along the way.” Impeerium holds social events and classes to provide opportunities for peers to get to know each other and start forming a network. One goal is to set up satellite locations in surrounding communities to provide services to individuals who might have difficulty making it in

Anthrax scare at Senior Citizens Center stephen@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH — The anthrax came in the mail, immediately exposing several senior citizens.

ROTA CON a swapping success By Shaun Kittle

shaun@denpubs.com PLATSBURGH — Money was not an object at the fourth annual ROTA CON. The event, which was held Saturday, Dec. 8 at ROTA Gallery on Margaret St. in Plattsburgh, featured 13 vendors who accepted items for trade instead of cash for their wares. Video games, many from systems that were released in the early 1990s, lined tables, which had boxes of records and comic books stacked beneath them. “ROTA CON started with the idea that we thought it would be cool to swap for a day,” said Nicholas Dubay, a member on ROTA’s board of directors. “It’s a great way for us to meet people who might not otherwise be exposed to ROTA.” People filtered into the gallery throughout the day, some just to look around, and others with items of their own to trade. “I’d say the most swapped item here has been retro video games,” Dubay said. “You can’t necessarily buy them anymore.” As always, there was artwork from local artists adorning the walls, too. Camden Ellis is a regular participant at ROTA events. He proudly showed off his three tattoos—Mario and Luigi, from the Super Mario Bros. games, and Mr. Game and Watch from the Game and Watch series of video games. “I’ve never run into any issues here (at ROTA),” said Ellis. “Everyone is friendly and just trying to expose more people to art, games and comics.” For upcoming events, visit rotagallery.com

The community flooded the Clinton County Health Department’s medication site, where staff were expected to process at least 50 individuals every 15 minutes. The drill went better than expected. “At its peak, Clinton County Health Department’s recent Medical Counter Measure drill processed ‘victims’ at a rate of 71 per 15 minutes,” said Vicki Driscoll of the Clinton County Health Department. Held at the Clinton County Senior Citizens Council in Plattsburgh, the exercise filled an annual requirement of the New York State Health Department as part of emergency preparedness. “We have to maintain our skills as a health department,” Driscoll said. “We must make sure our skills are up to date and we are effective and efficient.” The Clinton County Health Department called

on volunteers for the drill. The primary focus of the drill was to test the ability of Health Department staff to process a minimum of 50 people every 15 minutes to receive medication in an extreme emergency situation. The second aim was to have all participants preregister electronically. No onsite registration was allowed as a test of the Clinical Data Management System. The drill required that a target group in the community be identified to add realism to the event. The premise was that a number of seniors were exposed to anthrax through a mail-distribution situation. Most participants were in that target group. By choosing anthrax exposure, the scenario provided the need for an offsite full functional response system to be set up to allow for dispensing of appropriate medication to prevent illness or death.

“There has been an anthrax exposure scare, we want to make sure the community gets its medication and everyone is safe,” Driscoll said. The Clinical Data Management System actually alerted staff at 8:30 a.m. that day through an automated phone message, which provided them with specific instructions. A trained team drove to CVPH Medical Center to pick up the antidote, along with required forms. That team met more staff setting up the drill at the Senior Citizens Center. The community lined up and individuals were screened first and then told to enter a line for medical questions or a line for medication and instructions. The exercise required 16 computer stations to process patients, who collected their medications at dispensing stations. Some were flagged for po-

tential health issues and directed to a medical screening table to resolve the concern and determine which medications were safe for them to receive. Christina Mansfield, a Plattsburgh State student

studying public health, volunteered to participate in the drill and said it went well and that individuals were processed smoothly. “I think this is beneficial,” she said. “It is good to be up to date and practicing.”

More methamphetamine discovered in Clinton County

Meth lab found in Altona

methamphetamine: pseudoephedrine (Sudafed), Coleman camping fuel, Drano, acetone, lye, rubber tubing, lithium batteries, coffee filters and ice packs. The items are often found with each other when used to manufacture methamphetamine. Anyone with information about suspicious activity or who knows about use of the drug should contact the New York State police at 897-2000.

ALTONA — While one man sat with the children in a home in Altona, police pulled over a woman for speeding. They found drugs in the car and eventually discovered a meth lab in the home the children lived in. Now, three people face felony charges linked to the discovery of the methamphetamine and lab.

Early this week, Clinton County Sheriff’s Department deputies pulled over Karissa M. Fleming, 26, of Altona for speeding on State Route 11 in Ellenburg Depot at roughly 4 p.m. Law enforcement searched the vehicle and found numerous controlled substances, hypodermic needles and ingredients used in the manufacture of methamphetamine. Under questioning, Jessica M. Miller, 30, of Altona, admitted to police that she cooked methamphetamine at

Shopping locally creates and preserves jobs: local businesses hire local people. Provides the best value: when you look at what you get for your dollar, plus durability, it pays to shop locally.

Chipping away at the stigma of mental illness By Stephen Bartlett

stephen@denpubs.com

PLATTSBURGH — It is about the words we choose to use. A disabled individual constantly hears “retarded,” and while the word isn’t used directly to insult someone who is mentally retarded, the common and literal use carries the same connotation and reinforces the stigma that the individual is different, in a negative way, compared to the majority. The same can be said with “that’s gay.” Conversations are occurring to address this issue, but breaking down the stigma surrounding mental illness is in its infancy and remains a conversation that is not occurring as often as it should, according to experts in the field. Amanda Bulris, executive director of the Na-

tional Alliance on Mental Illness, said, “I hear a lot of, ‘Why can’t they just get over it?’” She spoke at an ongoing Brown Bag series sponsored by NAMI and Behavioral Health Service North. The topic for that series was: “The Words We Choose: Stigma.” Bonnie Black of BHSN said stigma can be lack of respect and the unwillingness to value other human beings. “A lot of the words we choose are based on our opinion and false information,” she said. She recalled watching a football game when an announcer said, “That team is definitely schizophrenic.” She couldn’t believe her ears and left the room.She also cringes when she hears people exclaim someone is driving them crazy. “Identify your emotion and say you are frustrated,” Black said. For someone suffering from a mental illness,

it can be difficult to hear the illness tossed around negatively and cruelly. “People have a disease that is not well understood,” Black said. “We are just beginning to talk about mental illness.” Much of the problem is it is not understood and people either doubt the illness or are frightened by the symptoms. She and other speakers stressed that it is an illness, like any other. Black encourages people to put physical illness before mental illness. “Mental illness is like having a broken leg,” Black said. For example, a physical aliment of the heart causes issues associated with having a weak or damaged heart. The brain is just another organ, except it handles thoughts and behavior, so a defect or illness in that area could impact thought and behavior, or any other brain function. Bulris said that stigma specifically means

mental health. “We need to educate,” Bulris said. Black suggested that educators spend time on mental illness when students are in eighth grade. She further stressed that teachers have the responsibility in the classroom of correcting language. Perhaps the language doesn’t hurt the majority of students who are privileged not to suffer from a mental illness, but for the children who are afflicted, the stigma can be emotionally painful, even abusive. It is also likely to affect individuals with family members diagnosed with a mental illness. Panelists said Hollywood and the media do not help the situation when they sensationalize aspects of mental illness and only play up the dramatic symptoms. “We are going to chip away at the stigma by changing the conversation,” Black said.

Former Chamber board member Larry Kriff and local businesswoman Krista Boule check out some of the memorabilia at the Chamber’s 100th anniversary.

to Nov. 23 to allow for more shopping days until Christmas. In 1941, Congress officially made Thanksgiving the fourth Thursday of November. “Our current chamber is also not shy about asking for big things for the North Country,” Krueger said, referring to Garry Douglas. In 1959, the chamber called on major oil companies to cut the price of a gallon of gasoline by 2-cents, frustrated with the cost at the time of 34.9 cents per gallon. Rod Giltz, chairman of the Chamber ’s Board of Directors in 1967, assumed the past at 27 in 1967. “It was a simpler time,” Giltz said. Plattsburgh revolved around Margaret Street and city police officers toted around bags of nickels to put in expired parking meters. Out-of-town vehicle owners would then find a note thanking them for shopping in Plattsburgh and explaining that the money had been donated by downtown merchants. “I am proud to be part of this community and proud of the chamber and what it is today,” Giltz said. Krueger, again assuming the identity of Hall, stressed that Canadians are more than tourists, but are also business people who aspire to open businesses in the area. In 1955, Canadians spent roughly $15 million to $20 million in the North Country. Today, that figure is estimated at $1.5 billion annually. “Please be nice to these people,” Krueger insisted. Helen White was the first female chair of the Chamber ’s Board of Directors in 1988, followed by Hope Coryer in 1989. Coryer continues actively support the Chamber. “Moving from downtown Plattsburgh to Route 9 was very controversial and members left because of it, but it recognized that the chamber was more than just a Plattsburgh chamber,” Coryer said. “Another big deal was to become politically involved with issues that impact the business community, and members left then.” Krueger recalled when local leaders fought, to no avail, to save the Plattsburgh Air Force Base, which closed in 1995. “But we made the best of a bad situation, and it is an example of economic development.” The world did not end in 2000 with Y2K, Krueger joked, but since then there has been the Port of Excellence at the border with Quebec on Interstate 87 in Champlain, the birth and continued evolution of Plattsburgh International Airport and the new Tourism Destination Master Plan. “And now, in 2012, we can all fly direct to Las Vegas,” Krueger grinned. “It doesn’t get much better than that.” Douglas, explaining the time capsule that will be opened at the 200-year anniversary, said he doesn’t know what the chamber will look like in 100 years, but it will exist. “There will always be issues and things that need to be done,” he said. “We play a leading role in a growing sense of regionalism, and we must grow and increase as a suburb of Montreal.”
