“Criminal Possession 7th” By: Jeffrey Lee Drimer, Esq.

A

mong all the “bad” things you want to avoid in your life, becoming familiar with the words “Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance Seventh Degree” has got to be near the top of the list. Imagine seeing your child (no matter how young or old) in the City Court of Syracuse or one of the many Village or Justice Courts in Onondaga County and a Judge has just explained to your son or daughter (now a “defendant”) that they have been charged with a drug-related crime.

As soon as possible, you should contact the best available lawyer you can find with experience in “drug-related” cases. This is extremely important because this attorney’s knowledge of evaluators, treatment agencies, prosecutors, judges and program personnel will become your lifeline in the months to come. Your attorney will then assess the validity of the case against your child. Assuming that your child was in possession of the drugs discovered after a lawful search, you and your child will have to decide what to do next.

What do you do? Who do you call? How bad is this? You have more questions than you can process and a growing sense of fear. . . Is his or her life in danger? Good instincts. Unfortunately in 2016, Onondaga County’s opioid death rate was, outside of New York City, one of the highest in New York State. Your fears are not unreasonable. There is also the possibility that he or she will have a criminal record, be incarcerated, or put on probation. Your child is treading upon dangerous ground.

It is likely that your attorney will then arrange for an evaluation of your child’s relationship to drugs and possible dependency. Again, for the purposes of this article, let’s assume the evaluation determines that an addiction exists, and treatment is necessary. Please believe me. . . This is a good start. No one, not your lawyer, the DA, the Judge, or the Probation Department wants to put your child in jail or even give them a criminal record over this charge. Everyone involved with your child’s case file wants to protect him or her from their addiction.

Unique in the Criminal-Justice system is the degree of cooperation between Prosecutors, Defense Attorneys, Treatment agencies, and the Judiciary in identifying and treating addiction as a preference to criminal prosecution, conviction, and incarceration of a first-time offender.

For the purpose of this article, we are not going to discuss drug sales (felonies) or other crimes committed while under the influence of drugs or crimes committed to get money to buy drugs. We are going to discuss the first-time, simple possession defendant with no prior record and try to put a positive “light” on the pending case. Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the 7th is a violation of Penal Law Section 220.03. If one is charged with this crime, it is the result of the individual having on their person a controlled substance such as cocaine, Oxycontin, or heroin among others.

EXCYOU • JUNE 2020

It is possible that your child’s case will then be moved to the Syracuse Community Treatment Court now presided over by the Hon. James H. Cecile. To quote SCTC’s purpose in its online statement: “The mission of the SCTC is to improve the processing of drug cases through the

expeditious entry of eligible defendants into judicially-monitored drug treatment.”

Substance abuse defendants are given an opportunity to enter in an agreement with the Court choosing treatment commitments over criminal consequences (Eligibility Requirements online along with the Particulars of the Agreements).

Even at the felony level, the degree of concern for a defendant’s future well-being is extraordinary in Onondaga County.

Project PROUD (Prosecutors Response to Offenders Using Drugs) is an alternative method of prosecution for non-violent felons that was established by District Attorney William Fitzpatrick in 1992; the only one of its kind in Upstate New York. Project PROUD attempts to divert defendants into rehabilitation, aftercare, and education. Eliminating drug dependency and removing the addict from the criminal-justice system is the goal.

It is possible with a commitment to treatment that the criminal consequence of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance can be eliminated, and control over the drug addiction can be found. So look at the pending charge as a warning sign that your child is in danger. Take the charge of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the 7th Degree as “a shot across the bow.” Do not minimize the charge as a simple misdemeanor but consider it an opportunity to get the best treatment possible for your child or loved one. Be as informed about addiction as you can be. Be ready for failures and disappointments. But, most importantly, have faith that your loyalty and love can help bring your “child” home safe.

The Art of Making

S

Soap By: Mary McCandless

oap, something that is a necessity! It is getting even more attention now since the pandemic started and it is a perfect time to make your own. Did you know that within 45 minutes you can create beautifully scented soaps? The process is easy and you can include the whole family.

The simplest process is to use the Melt and Pour system. Here is what you will need; 1. Soap base which comes in a 2 pound brick.

Make sure it is a melt and pour base. 2. Microwave safe bowl. 3. Serrated knife. 4.Soap molds, at least two. 5. Pick out some scents that you like. (make sure they are soap oil scents) 6. Whisk 7. Small spray bottle -for alcohol. 8. Plastic wrap. Many of these items can be found on-line or at your local craft stores.

I use a cutting board to cube about 8 to 10 pieces of soap, then place them in a microwave safe bowl. Next, pull enough plastic wrap to cover the bowl, place it in microwave for 10 second intervals. (until soap is liquefied. You can use a whisk to check it or carefully tilt the bowl to make sure all is melted.

Footnote: Fill a small spray bottle with Alcohol and set aside for later.

Once all is melted decide whether you want all your bars to be one scent or two. If you want two, pour half of your soap into another bowl and add about one teaspoon of your scented oil to the bowl. Use the whisk to blend it. If you want a strong scent add a 1/2 teaspoon more to the mixture.

Your scent is in and you are ready to pour the soap into the molds. I fill the molds and leave about an eighth of an inch from the top. It can be filled right to the top, it is all a matter of choice. Next, take your spray bottle and put a small mist of alcohol onto the soap, this will eliminate bubbles. Let the soap set for at least 45 minutes or until completely solid.

Now that your soap has hardened, you can remove it from your molds. I suggest that you flip the mold over and press the form to gradually release the bars. It may take a bit, but it is well worth it, I did not add colors to this batch, however you can find many soap safe colors. As you perfect your soap making, try adding herbs, flowers and more. Finally, check out different tutorials on the Internet for many creative ideas!

One fun and exciting thing to do is to paint rocks! That’s right and it is so easy to do. You do not need to be an artist and everyone in the family should participate. This has become a fad across the country. All you need to do is venture into your back yard or local park and find rocks. Pick up some paints and start creating any kind of design or image you choose. Next, go to a park and place them in various places for others to find. On the back side of the rock date it, put your initials on it and a message for the person who finds it. You can search Facebook and find groups to join or start your own group. Be sure to invite family and friends to join and share with their contacts.

Happy Creating and Hunting!

How DOES your Garden Grow?

E

Tips to help you grow the best flowers and vegetables!

ach year with the first smells of Spring we look at our yards, and see what Winter has taken away.

We long for the colors of spring and summer to get us back to all that we enjoy.

Many of us want to have the vibrant colors and the great variety of fruits and vegetables we so much enjoy.

Perennials regrow every spring.

Here are some flowers that make up the Annual family and are perfect to grow in the northeast; Pansies, Geraniums, Marigolds, Snapdragons & Impatiens.

They are useful for filling areas of your lawn and look great!

Great gardens begin with a lot of love, patience, sunshine, good soil, water and more.

• Orient your bed northsouth for maximum sun

Raised beds or in the ground?

• Never water at night

Raised beds require a kit or just building one yourself.

• Weed regularly • Get soil tested

A raised bed makes gardening easy. Filled with soil mix, they provide the excellent drainage needed to grow your picture-perfect vegetables and flowers.

Whether you choose to plant flowers or vegetables, you need to decide what you are looking to grow.

Annual plants will live for one growing season and then die.

Nothing is more rewarding than picking a fresh juicy tomato from your garden.

So lets get planting! Find a flat area that gets plenty of full sun all day. Then you will need to turn the soil. Rototillers work great, if not you will need to break up and turn the soil with a shovel. Compost is good to incorporate in the soil.

Great spring vegetables are Snap peas, lettuce, broccoli. As it begins to stay

If you are ready to begin a project of planting, you might want to do it right the first time. Decisions, decisions!

Breakfast Toast 3 Ways By: Stefanie Heath

As the old true saying goes – breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Making breakfast a priority should be routine in every home. It provides you with the energy to get through the morning and helps to rev up your metabolism after a night’s sleep.

Avocado Toast: Take a few tablespoons of smashed avocado and spread it over your toast. Take a pinch of garlic powder and/or fresh ground black pepper and sprinkle over the top.

This adds a nice depth of flavor. I like to top mine with sliced radishes or tomato and then scatter some chia seeds for an added shot of protein.

Nut Butter Toast: Spread a thin layer of your favorite nut butter (or SunButter if you have a nut allergy) and add sliced apple or banana. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

Hearty Bean Toast: Using premade hummus or mash chickpeas or cannelloni beans and spread on toast. Anything goes when adding toppings.

I like a variation of sliced tomato, cucumber or radish on mine. I also use chopped fresh spinach or avocado slices with a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

I love toast because the bread acts as a canvas for the delicious foods I place on top.Try sticking to multi-grain bread, or use my favorite, Ezekiel bread.This bread is loaded with nutritious ingredients like lentils and beans.I always have a loaf of Ezekiel on hand in my freezer.You can find it at any major grocery store.

Micro and Nano Fat Grafting Natural Choices for Facial Rejuvenation

W

By: Beth Phillips,RPAC

orking in a plastic surgery office, I frequently have patients coming in begging for “HELP”! I think this time of year, when our skin is a little drier and less sun-kissed, many patients feel that their skin just looks “OLD.”

surrounding tissue and “take,” meaning that the volume added will not be lost.

Typically, about 50-80% of the injected fat takes, with the remaining fat being absorbed. Because of this, sometimes a few treatments are needed to achieve the desired volume.

The good news is that there are many new modalities for rejuvenation of the skin and face. While much of my day consists of placing Botox (or Xeomin or Dysport) and/or fillers (ie. Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse) there continue to be many patients looking for a more permanent option. In those cases, I would say, “Fat is where it’s at!!”

In addition, the fat cells that are injected contain stem cells. Stem cells are special cells in our bodies that have the ability to change into any other cell type to replace aging or damaged cells.

In the face, these cells can aid with adding volume, but also rejuvenate the skin and secrete hormones that repair damaged skin. After fat grafting, patients typically notice improved skin quality as well as volume.

In previous articles, I have discussed structural fat grafting and its uses in reconstruction. Over the past several years, techniques have been continually improving for its uses for facial rejuvenation.

As we age, the fat volume in our faces decreases, which can result in a sunken appearance around the eyes and in the cheeks, as well as contribute to formation of nasolabial folds (laugh lines or “parentheses”) and marionette lines. Volume is also lost in the lips and superficial wrinkles from in the skin. Although these areas are commonly treated with injectable fillers, fat is an exciting option that can provide natural and more permanent results.

Facial fat grafting, also known as fat transfer or stem cell grafting, is a procedure that uses the patient’s own fat to rejuvenate and augment certain areas of the face. The fat is harvested from a donor site (usually the abdomen) via liposuction and then processed and injected into areas of the face to replace lost volume. The fat cells will develop blood supply from the

Although fat grafting to the face has been done for many years, recent advances have resulted in much better results. It has been found that survival of fat is very dependent on the particle size and how it is harvested. These techniques are referred to as Microfat grafting and Nano-fat grafting.

Microfat grafting, or droplet grafting, uses a very fine cannula with very small holes to obtain the fat. The fat is then rinsed and handled very gently, to minimize damage to the cells. It is then injected using very fine blunt needles, also called cannulas. It must be injected very precisely to obtain the best results. This is a technique where experience makes a dramatic difference in results.

Typical areas injected include the cheeks, lower and upper eyelids, nasal grooves, lips, and temple hollows. The injections tend to take longer than filler injections as the fat needs to be obtained and processed before

being injected. The injections themselves are a bit more involved, and the recovery is a bit longer than with typical fillers. Most patients will be a bit bruised and swollen for several days. The results, however, are long-lasting and very natural.

Nanofat grafting is a technique that utilizes the growth factors in fat to the maximum degree.

Fat calls are harvested and them broken down or “emulsified.” This results in the growth factors being released and the fat to be very liquid. Using very fine needles, the fat in injected just beneath the skin surface. This does not add volume, but delivers the growth factors which have been shown to improve skin texture. There have been some promising results with using nanofat to treat dark under eye circles.

Another new technique is called Sharp Needle Intradermal Fat grafting, or SNIF. This treats very superficial lines of the face.

Micro fat is injected with a sharp needle just below the skin, treating very fine skin wrinkles. This was not possible with the larger fat particles used in the past. This works particularly well with fine wrinkles along the upper and lower lips and around the mouth. Acne scars can be treated by this technique as well.

So it appears that help is on the way!!

Facial rejuvenation has evolved dramatically over recent years. Achieving a natural result is less about removing skin than about adding back lost volume. Facial fat grafting is the next frontier and can provide natural, more permanent results.

Coping By: Mary McCandless

I

n our lives; we are always experiencing changes, and loss.

Whether it is big or small, it affects us in many ways, and how we handle it all encompasses coping, coming to terms with it, letting it go and moving on. Easier said than done.

How we handle the events in our lives can help us with internal stressors and make dealing with it a bit easier. It is my experience that coping is the result of what we experience, and the stages that we go through that leads up to how we cope.

PsychiatristElizabeth Kubler-Ross modeled the five stages of grief in her book “On Death, and Dying” published in 1969.

Those stages are Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. This is a book worth reading.

Kubler-Ross formulated these stages from the work that she did with terminally ill patients. However, these stages can and do apply to many of our life experiences and not just with terminal illnesses. Something she also goes on to state after writing the book. She went on to expand it to divorce, loss of a loved one, etc.

When we think of coping it can all fall into various life situations. When we lose a job, we are shocked, why did I lose my job? We then get angry about it and cannot believe that they had the nerve to do that. We go on to wonder, Can I get my job back, just talk to him/her? Eventually, it leads to depression.

What do I do now? Finally, we realize that we have to accept the circumstances and deal with it. This process that we go through no matter, the situation can, in hindsight allow us to see what we may have overlooked or leads us to analyze what we went through so that it can make some kind of sense. The dictionary defines coping as “ facing and dealing with responsibilities, problems or difficulties in a successful or in a calm or adequate manner” dictionary.com That is easier said than done.

We know that once we experience something that affects us, the five stages kick in, not always in the same sequence, but

22theyEXCYOU JUNE 2020 happen. So •what can we do to turn that around?

The key, however, is how we go through each stage and move on in our lives so that it does not overwhelm us. First, when something happens, we tend to internalize it and keep going back and forth in our mind as to why. We unfortunately cannot change what is. The next thing is to channel any anger into something positive. I always try to look at the bright side or find a bright side. Maybe the divorce is for the better, and I can now get myself back. If you receive terrible news about yourself or someone you love, look to the time that you have left and make the most of it.

In the end if we spend more time stressing about that which we cannot change we lose so much time for positive things we could be experiencing. Additionally, we can focus on the things we can, in fact, change so that we may avoid an experience that will lead-up to coping.

There are many ways to develop coping skills and reduce stress.

Try to have a Positive attitude, Relaxation - Yoga Meditation, Support Groups, start a diary or write down your thoughts.

Keep busy so that you do not dwell. Spend time with family and friends they are always there to lend an ear. Laughter is the cure for most everything, so treat yourself to a good comedy show or movie. One thing that I try to do, is to throw all of my feelings into one jar, so to speak. Next, I pick apart what I am feeling and compartmentalize it. I deal with it in increments and then let it go, until someone brings it up again and stirs everything back up in my jar.

In closing there is no right or wrong way on how we cope. We all need to develop a method of coping, which will create the least amount of stress. After all, we cannot change the past or control the future and to dwell on either is fruitless. Let’s live for the moment, be the best we can and try not to sweat the small stuff.

Frameology Optical has been open for 4 years. I opened it in January 2014. I have been in the business for over 25 years (minus a 6 year bead store owner hiatus). I’m a licensed optician and have a bachelors in Finance. Within one year, I had some major life changes and decided to go back to the doctor I used to work for. I was discouraged with the styles and quality of eyewear with famous labels and I was extremely frustrated with insurance companies dictating lens styles and the quality of work their labs were putting out. I didn’t want my creative ideas stifled anymore, so… I went out on my own and had faith I could make this happen. I have worked with many amazing doctors but wanted the fashion part of glasses (along with a perfect fit and best lenses) to be at the forefront so I decided no doctor or insurance. It’s been a good 4 years and realized that patience is the key. Frameology’s business model is quality over quantity and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Frameology Optical is not your ordinary optical! Our glasses are handmade by independent designers from around the globe. Frameology opened in 2013 filling the need for unique eyewear and personal service in the Syracuse area. I opened Frameology because I enjoy fitting people with the perfect frame that expresses their personality. My staff and I specialize in the fit and fashion of the frame and lens. We analyze every prescription and fit you with a lens that is the most optimal fit for your needs and lifestyle.The frames that we carry are not well known labels, but top designers in the optical industry. Our service is personal and professional and we strive to fit everyone with the perfect pair of eyeglasses! It’s one of the only accessories that we wear 18 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, so don’t settle for anything less than the best.
