PLATTSBURGH — Im-peerium helps people moveforward with confidenceand skills.

The goal is to empowerthem to begin pursuing theirgoals and wants.

“Whatever that personwants, we are here to as-sist,” said Sheri King, Pro-gram Director at ImpeeriumPeer Network located at 14Healey Avenue in Platts-burgh.

Impeerium, hosted byNAMI, is a peer-based pro-gram to provide support forthose who have used mentalhealth services or are cur-rently using them.

North Country Chamber turns 100PLATTSBURGH — “I’m here as Frank

Hall and I died in 1903,” said JohnKrueger, standing in front of a largecrowd, some silent, a few allowing an un-certain chuckle to escape them.

“I am hanging out in Riverside Ceme-tery,” said the Clinton County Historianand Kent-Delord House Museum Execu-tive Director. “I am available.”

Krueger spoke at the North CountryChamber of Commerce’s 100th anniver-sary celebration in a room packed withmembers and representatives from vari-ous businesses and local officials.

Krueger attended the event as Hall,husband of Frances Delord Webb and the

last member of the Delord family to havelived in the home.

It was the summer of 1912, Krueger ex-plained, and merchants recognized theneed to come together as a formal groupto improve Plattsburgh’s prosperity.

“Things in Plattsburgh were not mov-ing fast enough,” Krueger said.

On April 22, 1912, a group of business-men formed the Plattsburgh Chamber ofCommerce, officially incorporating thatOctober with 258 members and annualdues of $10.

The Strand Theatre opened in the 1920s,as well as a new hospital on BeekmanStreet and the beach.

The chamber, and many other groups,asked President Franklin Roosevelt in1933 to change Thanksgiving from Nov. 30

PLATTSBURGH — Local winemakers are hostingan end-of-season holiday wine tour Dec. 15.

The first-ever event will feature five wineries andone cidery in the Plattsburgh area.

Amazing Grace Vineyard and Winery in Chazy,Hid-In-Pines Vineyard in Morrisonville, VescoRidge Vineyards in West Chazy, and the ChamplainWine Company, Everett Orchards and Elf ’s Farm,Winery and Cidermill, all in Plattsburgh, are partic-ipating in the tour.

Debbie Everett, one of the owners of Everett Or-chards, said the tasting tour will offer shoppers anopportunity to buy something local this holiday sea-son.

“A lot of people don’t know people are makingwine and hard cider in the area,” Everett said. “Thisis to educate them about that and give them a chanceto taste it, and if they like it they can buy it.”

Everett said she would like everyone to enjoy thetour and be safe, so Everett Orchards will be givingaway coffee and donuts to designated drivers.

Everett Orchards is the only stop on the tour thatexclusively sells hard cider, but it isn’t the only oneto offer that kind of alcoholic beverage.

Elf’s Farm Winery and Cider Mill will also havehard cider tasting, in addition to their red and whitewines.

Tom Frey, owner of Elf’s, has been in the winemak-ing business for six years, and said his hard cider isspecial 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 200years ago,” Frey said.

Also on hand will be Adirondack Nouveau, a redwine released after this year ’s harvest of Frey’s coldclimate Marquette grapes.

Elf’s winery was destroyed by a fire on July 30,2011, and has been slowly recovering ever since.

For Frey, the holiday wine tasting tour is like aprelude to Elf’s grand opening, which he hopes willtake place in May 2013.

“We want people to know we’re here, and that they can buylocally grown products from us,” Frey said.

Richard Lamoy, owner of Hid-In-Pines Vineyard, has beenmaking wine for 10 years, and is wrapping up his third sea-son of selling the product.

He will offer 10 varieties of wine — five white and five red— ranging from sweet to dry.

“We make 100 percent of our wine from locally grown, coldclimate grapes,” Lamoy said. “The cold climate hybrids werespecifically bred to withstand the colder weather of our re-gion.”

But the event isn’t just about the grapes, or even the indi-vidual wineries that are participating.

“We are all trying to work together to promote the region,”Lamoy said. “It gives people something to go to — it’s a des-tination event for people to do for a day.”

Tickets for the holiday wine tour cost $10 and can be pur-chased from any one of the businesses on the tour either be-fore or during the event, which runs from noon - 5 p.m. Sat-urday, Dec. 15.

Each business will hand out a special wine glass charm tocommemorate the event.

Every charm will be unique to the vendor handing it out,and can be placed around the stem of a wine glass.

PLATTSBURGH — More than 40 artists will have theirwork on display through Jan. 12 at the North Country Cul-tural Center for the Arts annual Holiday Member Show.

The opening reception took place Friday, Dec. 7, and gaveattendees an opportunity to meet some of the artists and getfirst dibs on purchasing local artwork.

The event also marked the unveiling of two new develop-ments at the NCCCA — the gallery’s brand new floor andthe transformation of the gift shop into a library.

Artists at the opening mingled with the crowd and oftencommented on the wide variety of mediums on display,which included ceramics, stained glass, jewelry, photogra-phy 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 photogra-pher Ron Nolland, who can often be found at places like Aus-able Point, where he enjoys an endless supply of subjects forhis nature-inspired photographs.

Nolland has been a member of NCCCA since 2005 and hasthree photos on display at the holiday exhibit.

The body of his photographic work reflects the scale ofnature—from the expansive wetland at Ausable Point to twofern 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, Stony-brook Gallery in Morrisonville and the Plattsburgh Interna-tional Airport, it is safe to say it has evolved into more thana hobby.

“I’m often on photo websites, taking inspiration from ad-vanced hobbyists and enthusiasts,” Nolland said. “I like tolook at what non-professional photographers are doing.”

Nolland likes the sense of community amongst his fellowsemi-pro photographers, and it is that community feel thatJanine Scherline, executive director for the NCCCA, said thearts center is trying to create in the North Country.

“This show is really about moving forward with our mis-sion of connecting the community with the arts,” Scherlinesaid. “We have so many talented people who are local in theregion. Sometimes there’s this desire to bring in somebody

special, but I think we have alot of special talents righthere.”

Displaying art in a galleryis one way to connect thecommunity with local art,and Nancy and Dan Vescohave another.

The couple own VescoRidge Vineyards in WestChazy, and they providedfree tastings of four of theirwines at the Holiday MemberShow.

This year, the label on theirlimited edition wine, Au-thentic Adirondack CoastNew York Red Table Wine,features a painting calledAdirondack Harvest, whichwon an Adirondack CoastARTWays Project contest lastyear.

The money comes full cir-cle, as the Vescos donate aportion of each sale of thewine to the NCCCA.

Amy Guglielmo, thepainter whose work adornsthe bottle, is also one of themany painters whose work ison display at the show.

Guglielmo was born andraised in Plattsburgh and,when she isn’t painting, she’swriting children’s books.

She spends the winter inCosta Rica with her husband, Brian Giebel, who is a free-lance writer, but every summer the couple returns to theNorth Country, where they continue to be involved in thearea’s growing art scene.

Guglielmo said that many of her paintings are landscapes,which isn’t her favorite subject, but she still finds them in-spirational.

“It’s sort of nostalgia,” Guglielmo said. “There’s this onespot on the Adirondack Northway in Lewis that I always no-tice. Every time I’m driving home I see that, and I know I’mhome.”

The North Country Cultural Center for the Arts HolidayMember Show runs through Jan. 12. The gallery is open Tues-day - Friday, from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. For more information, visit plattsburgharts.org.

Burgh Editorial

The latest estimate of the world’sdemise has humanity’s fate sealedon Dec. 21, the Winter Solstice. If

we manage to survive, historians will nodoubt write about how we avoided certaindoom only to face another, equally apoca-lyptic threat—the dreaded fiscal cliff. Yes,we might finally see the culmination of ourelected official’s inability to accomplishanything of benefit to the rest of us, and itall seems so surreal, so distant, so beyondour control.

But there is a way to get closer to the ac-tion, and all it takes is a trip to Essex Coun-ty, home of the North Country’s own fiscalcliff debacle.

Essex County’s fiscal cliff is not quite ofthe same magnitude as its big brother, butits proceedings do reflect a similar indeci-sive bickering that has been playing out atthe national level. There are a lot of num-bers and figures and percentages involved,but the bottom line is, if the Essex Countyboard fails to start thinking ahead, thingscould become much worse in the upcomingyears, regardless of who’s in charge.

Essex County Manager Dan Palmerknows this, and he has officially removedhimself from the equation as of Jan. 1. Hisannouncement to retire came after he failedto convince county supervisors to accept a3-year budget plan, and he isn’t going outwithout a few parting words. Palmer haswarned the board that its current course,which will likely see the wounded budgethaphazardly stitched together by the fundbalance, is a dangerous one at best.

Here’s how it works: Essex County col-lects taxes from its citizens and uses thatmoney to pay for all kinds of services.There are things that have a known budget,like money allotted to pay county employ-ees salaries, and there are things that arebudgeted for, like road work, that mightcome in under that budget. The unused taxmoney is the fund balance, and it is partic-ularly good for dealing with emergencies,such as the spring storm of 2011 and dam-age incurred by Tropical Storm Irene,which depleted the fund balance by $2.8million last year.

Essex County’s current course will see itutilizing that fund balance money to thetune of about $7 million to balance thecounty budget and meet the tax cap. The$2.8 million that went toward post-Irene re-

pairs is eventually supposed to be repaidby the Federal Emergency ManagementAgency, but it should be put back where itbelongs — in the fund balance. The samecan be said for the other $4 million or so offund balance money that is being used tokeep the tax levy down. As Irene taught us,the fund balance can come in handy, butthe current budget proposal would onlyleave about $1 million in there if FEMAdoesn’t come through, and that’s a scarythought considering the damage that hasbeen incurred by storms in recent years.

The kicker here is that the county tabledone of the more solid proposals — raisingthe occupancy tax to 5 percent, a 2 percentincrease. The increase might not be popularamong hoteliers, particularly the smallscale operations, who fear that the extracharge would result in a decrease intourism. But would a 2-percent increase,which amounts to $3 more for a $150-a-night room, really deter people that much?It might be worth including something likethat in the budget, considering CountyTreasurer Mike Diskin projects it will bringin $1.2 million.

The occupancy tax certainly wouldn’tsolve all of Essex County’s problems, but itwould exhibit a modicum of foresight onthe part of Essex County supervisors. Thetime to patch holes and wait until next yearto see if they’ve sprung a leak is long gone— now is the time for action and makingdecisions that will have positive and ex-pected long-term consequences. DanPalmer knows it, which is refreshing untilyou realize that is also why he’s retiring —he doesn’t have faith that the current boardcan accomplish this, and he doesn’t want tobe standing next to that dam when itbursts.

At a recent meeting, Town of Moriah Su-pervisor Thomas Scozzafava said that per-sonnel is the elephant in the room, and thatthe county needs to consider consolidatingsome of its staff, which is probably true,but the real elephant in the room isn’t thepachyderm — it’s the people feeding it.

This editorial is the collaborative opinion of a boardcomprised of Thom Randall, Fred Herbst, Shaun Kit-tle, Keith Lobdell, Stephen Bartlett, Andy Flynn,Katherine Clark and John Gereau. Comments shouldbe directed to [email protected].

Essex County’s own fiscal cliff

Icome from a long line of worriers.As a youngster and even as an adultI found it difficult to understand

why mom would worry about the small-est of things. When you’re young, life’san adventure. Each day brings new op-portunity. Today it may have rained buttomorrow is sure to be sunny and bright.Tomorrow was always a new day, full ofopportunity, new events that wouldshape the day and the world. Change wasgood. Change was exciting. Change waswelcomed.

So why is it that as you age, not onlydo things start to sag, hair grows greyand recedes and your concern for thingsboth in your control and beyond, begin toweigh heavy on your mind? Change isnot so good. Change brings turmoil andconfusion. Change is uncomfortable andtriggers resistance.

Mom, and her mom before her, wouldstress out over the big news of the day aswell as the every day tasks. Tested by thegreat depression, two world wars, anevolving cold war, Korean Conflict,Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, assassina-tions, riots in the street and political cor-ruption, they had plenty of big things toworry about.

Looking back their world went fromone major crisis event to another. Despitetheir fears and concerns there was alwaysan optimism that things would turnoutokay. There was a happiness that calmedthe underlining fears. They had faith,they had family, they had a society thatsomehow gave them an inner confidence.

They were told that they had nothing tofear but fear itself. So they went about thetasks of the days building their lives andtheir future, focused on their jobs, theirfamily and their dependence on each oth-er.

As I age I find myself more stressedthan in my early years. Not only do Iworry about the big issues of the day, na-tional and international events, but eventhe little things seem to be a greater con-cern than they once did. There are plenty

of major issuesto fret about asthe worldturns andthere is alwaysany number oflittle things inlife to bringabout heart-burn andsleepless nights.

Is worrying about life’s ups and downshardwired into my DNA, a hereditarytrait, or is it just a function of aging? Or,does it come about as you begin to realizeyour plans for the future don’t alwayswork out given the ebb and flow of anever changing landscape and with thoseyou share the world.

A recent survey revealed that a resilientattitude may be the secret to aging suc-cessfully. In fact they believe a positiveattitude may be more important to agingthan good physical health. So there maybe some truth to the old wives tale ofworrying one’s self to death.

So the bottom line is this; Mayan calen-dar predicting the end of the world onDecember 21st of this year; fiscal clifflooming on the horizon; financial strug-gles; personal concerns; what to write innext week’s column…. Hey, bring em on.There is little we can’t overcome if we ap-proach things with a positive, can do atti-tude.

If we’ve learned anything through outtime there will always be issues beyondour control and as mere humans we arefallible, destined to trip up. We onlymake things worse for ourselves if wedwell on the negative. We need to be re-sponsible for our actions but we only goaround once so we need to make the mostof what we’ve been given, keep our focuson the future and our optimism high. Lifeis short. Every day is a gift, which is whythey call it the “present.”

MORRISONVILLE — Stonybrook Galleryisn’t difficult to find, but it does blend right inwith the country setting on Mason Street inMorrisonville.

As visitors pull into the driveway they aregreeted by chickens that are quick to steer clearof vehicles and a horse, whose best friend is agoat, that placidly stands by, watching as peo-ple approach the little red gallery.

The building is like a one-room schoolhouse,but smaller, and sits back from the road near alarge meadow, across the lawn from a houseand just past a clucking rooster.

Inside, there is art, and it’s everywhere.Stonybrook Gallery is packed with pottery,

paintings, wintertime wool apparel, photo-graphs, jewelry, children’s books, candles,puzzles, cards, holiday decorations and lawnsculptures, all of which are hand-crafted by lo-cal artists, and all of which are on sale.

The exhibition is all part of StonybrookGallery’s Holiday Open House, which kickedoff on Saturday, Dec. 1.

“It just started as an idea to have a commu-nity event to sell local art without a high cost,”said Nancy Rendinaro, owner of the gallery.

Now the event sees a constant flow of visi-tors, who all seem content to take their timemilling in and out of the varied artistic medi-ums on display.

To put it all together, Stonybrook Gallery hasa board consisting of 12 artists who help set upand tear down exhibits and review prospectiveartists, ultimately determining who to bringinto their fold.

“We all make the decisions on what is hap-pening here,” Rendinaro said. “We try to bringin new people who have something differentto offer. The beautiful thing is, the gallery is al-ways changing.”

Rendinaro opened the gallery about fouryears ago as a place to put her pottery.

“Pottery is very heavy,” Rendinaro said witha laugh.

Over the years Stonybrook has continued toattract an array of artists as it quickly grew intothe artist co-operative it is today.

One of the board members, Penny Clute, hasphotographs for sale at the Holiday OpenHouse, and is also selling puzzles that featureher outdoors-inspired photos.

“I enjoy the experience of photographing, ofbeing somewhere,” Clute said. “The awarenessof my surroundings that has grown in me ispart of photography.”

Clute pointed to a close-up photo she took

of tufted seeds exploding from an openedmilkweed pod.

“I’ve done some macro but tend to stick withlandscapes,” she said.

Clute took a photo workshop in the Adiron-dacks five years ago, and has since entered herwork in several juried shows, and had a soloshow at Clinton Community College last June.

She has also taken week-long photographyworkshops in Zion National Park, Utah; theOregon Coast; Crested Butte, Colorado and

New Hampshire. “Each place has a different texture, a differ-

ent experience,” Clute said. “But it’s alwaysgood to come back home.”

Stonybrook Gallery is located at 72 MasonStreet in Morrisonville, just south of the inter-section of Rt. 22B and Salmon River Rd. TheHoliday Open House is open Dec. 15, 16 and22, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m.

PLATTSBURGH — One woman’s words and another woman’s collectionof hundreds of stuffed animals led to the delivery of Christmas presents forfostered 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 anabusive mother, was a devastating story.

For Mesec the book was a catalyst that drove her to help, so she begancollecting teddy bears in 2011.

“I started with a goal of 934 bears, because Peter lived 934 days—he wasjust 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-work-

er named Beth Bryer, who was attending SUNY Plattsburgh for child serv-ices, brought the book “Peter ’s Lullaby” in. Mesec said the book quickly cir-culated 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 howmuch better they would be with a kid than in my attic.”

“Peter ’s Lullaby” was written by Jeanie Fowler about her painful child-hood.

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 themto Chicago where Jeanier lived for an entire year, tied up in a closet with abucket.

Jeanie’s brother Peter lived in the bathroom, tied to a heater until hismother beat him to death with a wooden ironing board.

Mesec said in the book, Jeanie wrote how her brother Peter ’s humming atnight brought her comfort that he was still alive and gave her the strengthto go on another day.

With the restraints cutting into her wrists, Peter ’s humming made her feelOK to sleep.

“It’s a ‘should read,’ but a very hard read,” Mesec said. “It’ll break yourheart.”

After reading the book, Mesec became aware of Jeanie’s charitable organ-ization that tries to provide foster children with comforts through Big Fam-

ily of Michigan. In a video on Jeanie’s website, Jeanie said “I saw

a real need to give to these children things that Ididn’t get when I was in the system. And so I start-ed collecting teddy bears for children to have some-thing soft to hang onto to them, giving them a birth-day party to acknowledge that they existed andthat people cared about them.”

Jeanie started “Big Family of Michigan” inmemory of Peter to help foster children so theywould not go through what she and her siblingsendured.

The organization cares for kids from the time theyenter the foster system until they are fostered out, andprovides items including clothes, personal items, suitcases and school sup-plies.

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 mar-kets. Some given free and some for 25 cents. The bears all got a bath, a rib-bon, 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 goodthing.”

Mesec wanted to thank Alissa Hoff, the American Legion, Amy LeClair,Anne Brown, April Guynup, Ausable school, Barbara Boyea, BeekmantownSchool, Bonnie Benner, Carmelle Monette, Cindy Decoste, CVPHMC,Darcey Castine, David and Sandy Schwartz, David Belrose, Debbie Chap-men, Diane Brockway, Dolly Leturneau, Donna Bechard, Elizabeth Bryer,Eye Care for the Adirondack, Genienkeh Bingo Hall, Jane Hercht & Friendsin Vt.

Plattsburgh women bring Christmas to foster children

Recovery Centerfrom page 1

ago after NAMI was awarded a three-year grantthat originated through the Office of MentalHealth to establish recovery centers.

All services are free, and on Thursday, Dec. 13,from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Impeerium is host-ing an open house at its location at 14 Healey Av-enue with light refreshments.

“The state realized the need is there,” Kingsaid. “Peer to peer is a different relationship thanclinician to client.”

But she stressed that Impeerium does not op-erate in place of other professionals, but in con-junction with them.

Employees, considered peers to those they as-sist, must also have used mental health servicesor currently use them.

A skill builder assists when an individualwants to learn something new or, for example,take a class. A first step might be sitting in andmonitoring a college course and the next stepcould be determining interests.

The support specialist provides emotionalsupport.

The community integration specialist net-

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 needan ear, perhaps another individual has troublefilling out forms.

“We are here to assist individuals to move for-ward and gain confidence and skills and empow-er them to do whatever they want to do,” Kingsaid.

King always wanted to help others and enjoysworking with people.

She’s earning a degree in mental health coun-seling and after she was hired this past July, shebegan setting up the office and looking for peersto fill the positions.

“The peer-based program is kind of new, andwe are all learning and gathering informationalong the way.”

Impeerium holds social events and classes toprovide opportunities for peers to get to knoweach other and start forming a network.

One goal is to set up satellite locations in sur-rounding communities to provide services to in-dividuals who might have difficulty making it in

to Plattsburgh.“We are still new, but my hope is different

events will bring in more people,” King said. “Ithink of this as a place anyone would walk intoand feel comfortable.”

For more information call 324-6250.

PLATTSBURGH — Theanthrax came in the mail,immediately exposing sev-eral senior citizens.

The community floodedthe Clinton County HealthDepartment’s medicationsite, where staff were ex-pected to process at least 50individuals every 15 min-utes.

The drill went better thanexpected.

“At its peak, ClintonCounty Health Depart-ment’s recent MedicalCounter Measure drillprocessed ‘victims’ at a rateof 71 per 15 minutes,” saidVicki Driscoll of the ClintonCounty Health Department.

Held at the Clinton Coun-ty Senior Citizens Council inPlattsburgh, the exercisefilled an annual requirementof the New York State HealthDepartment as part of emer-gency preparedness.

“We have to maintain ourskills as a health depart-ment,” Driscoll said. “Wemust make sure our skillsare up to date and we are ef-fective and efficient.”

The Clinton CountyHealth Department called

on volunteers for the drill.The primary focus of the

drill was to test the ability ofHealth Department staff toprocess a minimum of 50people every 15 minutes toreceive medication in an ex-treme emergency situation.

The second aim was tohave all participants prereg-ister electronically. No on-site registration was allowedas a test of the Clinical DataManagement System.

The drill required that atarget group in the commu-nity be identified to add re-alism to the event. Thepremise was that a numberof seniors were exposed toanthrax through a mail-dis-tribution situation. Mostparticipants were in that tar-get group.

By choosing anthrax expo-sure, the scenario providedthe need for an offsite fullfunctional response systemto be set up to allow for dis-pensing of appropriate med-ication to prevent illness ordeath.

“There has been an an-thrax exposure scare, wewant to make sure the com-munity gets its medicationand everyone is safe,”Driscoll said.

The Clinical Data Man-agement System actuallyalerted staff at 8:30 a.m. thatday through an automatedphone message, which pro-vided them with specific in-structions.

A trained team drove toCVPH Medical Center topick up the antidote, alongwith required forms. Thatteam met more staff settingup the drill at the Senior Cit-izens Center.

The community lined upand individuals werescreened first and then toldto enter a line for medicalquestions or a line for med-ication and instructions.

The exercise required 16computer stations to processpatients, who collected theirmedications at dispensingstations.

Some were flagged for po-

tential health issues and di-rected to a medical screeningtable to resolve the concernand determine which med-ications were safe for themto receive.

Christina Mansfield, aPlattsburgh State student

studying public health, vol-unteered to participate inthe drill and said it wentwell and that individualswere processed smoothly.

“I think this is beneficial,”she said. “It is good to be upto date and practicing.”

ROTA CONa swappingsuccessBy Shaun [email protected]

PLATSBURGH — Mon-ey was not an object at thefourth annual ROTA CON.

The event, which washeld Saturday, Dec. 8 atROTA Gallery on MargaretSt. in Plattsburgh, featured13 vendors who accepteditems for trade instead ofcash for their wares.

Video games, many fromsystems that were releasedin the early 1990s, lined ta-bles, which had boxes ofrecords and comic booksstacked beneath them.

“ROTA CON startedwith the idea that wethought it would be cool toswap for a day,” saidNicholas Dubay, a memberon ROTA’s board of direc-tors. “It’s a great way for usto meet people who mightnot otherwise be exposed toROTA.”

People filtered into thegallery throughout the day,some just to look around,and others with items oftheir own to trade.

“I’d say the mostswapped item here hasbeen retro video games,”Dubay said. “You can’t nec-essarily buy them any-more.”

As always, there was art-work from local artistsadorning the walls, too.

Camden Ellis is a regularparticipant at ROTA events.

He proudly showed offhis three tattoos—Marioand Luigi, from the SuperMario Bros. games, and Mr.Game and Watch from theGame and Watch series ofvideo games.

“I’ve never run into anyissues here (at ROTA),”said Ellis. “Everyone isfriendly and just trying toexpose more people to art,games and comics.”

1. Promotes foot traffi c: especially important during the holiday season.

2. Creates a bigger impact: one study shows that communities keep $68 for every $100 spent locally, while they keep $43 when $100 is spent at a chain store.

3. Shopping locally creates and preserves jobs: local businesses hire

local people.

4. Provides the best value: when you look at what you get for your dollar, plus durability, it pays to shop locally.

5. Creates less pollution: local businesses generally use less land and resources and less travel in the area reduces air pollution.

6. Enables less taxes: strong local businesses increase the local tax

base, thereby decreasing the need to further tax residents while increasing

the revenue for local police, fi re and infrastructure.

7. Builds a sense of community: in an ever-increasingly fast-paced world, the

desire to shop in places where everyone knows your name is stronger than ever.

8. Establishes one-of-a-kind character: every city wants to stand out with their

own personality. Local business helps communities shape their perception to the

outside world.

9. Stimulates area vitality: nothing succeeds like success.

10. Local business owners shop locally themselves: businesses need everything

from supplies to workday lunches, and local attorneys, accountants, restaurants,

offi ce supplies and more supply their need. They also tend to carry locally-

produced goods, which further spurs small manufacturing and local artisan work

that national chains will not take on.

1. Promotes foot traffi c: especially important during the holiday season.

2. Creates a bigger impact: one study shows that communities keep $68 for every $100 spent locally, while they keep $43 when $100 is spent at a chain store.

3. Shopping locally creates and preserves jobs: local businesses hire

local people.

4. Provides the best value: when you look at what you get for your dollar, plus durability, it pays to shop locally.

5. Creates less pollution: local businesses generally use less land and resources and less travel in the area reduces air pollution.

6. Enables less taxes: strong local businesses increase the local tax

base, thereby decreasing the need to further tax residents while increasing

the revenue for local police, fi re and infrastructure.

7. Builds a sense of community: in an ever-increasingly fast-paced world, the

desire to shop in places where everyone knows your name is stronger than ever.

8. Establishes one-of-a-kind character: every city wants to stand out with their

own personality. Local business helps communities shape their perception to the

outside world.

9. Stimulates area vitality: nothing succeeds like success.

10. Local business owners shop locally themselves: businesses need everything

from supplies to workday lunches, and local attorneys, accountants, restaurants,

offi ce supplies and more supply their need. They also tend to carry locally-

produced goods, which further spurs small manufacturing and local artisan work

that national chains will not take on.

Chamber anniversaryfrom page 1

to Nov. 23 to allow for more shopping days until Christmas. In 1941, Congress officiallymade 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 gaso-line 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 27in 1967.

“It was a simpler time,” Giltz said.Plattsburgh revolved around Margaret Street and city po-

lice officers toted around bags of nickels to put in expiredparking meters. Out-of-town vehicle owners would then finda note thanking them for shopping in Plattsburgh and ex-plaining that the money had been donated by downtownmerchants.

“I am proud to be part of this community and proud of thechamber and what it is today,” Giltz said.

Krueger, again assuming the identity of Hall, stressed thatCanadians are more than tourists, but are also business peo-ple who aspire to open businesses in the area.

In 1955, Canadians spent roughly $15 million to $20 mil-lion 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 verycontroversial and members left because of it, but it recog-nized that the chamber was more than just a Plattsburghchamber,” Coryer said. “Another big deal was to become po-litically involved with issues that impact the business com-munity, and members left then.”

Krueger recalled when local leaders fought, to no avail, tosave the Plattsburgh Air Force Base, which closed in 1995.

“But we made the best of a bad situation, and it is an ex-ample 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 bor-der with Quebec on Interstate 87 in Champlain, the birth andcontinued evolution of Plattsburgh International Airport andthe 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 openedat the 200-year anniversary, said he doesn’t know what thechamber will look like in 100 years, but it will exist.

“There will always be issues and things that need to bedone,” he said. “We play a leading role in a growing sense ofregionalism, and we must grow and increase as a suburb ofMontreal.”

PLATTSBURGH — It is about the words wechoose to use.

A disabled individual constantly hears “re-tarded,” and while the word isn’t used directlyto insult someone who is mentally retarded, thecommon and literal use carries the same conno-tation and reinforces the stigma that the indi-vidual is different, in a negative way, comparedto the majority.

The same can be said with “that’s gay.”Conversations are occurring to address this

issue, but breaking down the stigma surround-ing mental illness is in its infancy and remainsa conversation that is not occurring as often asit should, according to experts in the field.

Amanda Bulris, executive director of the Na-

tional Alliance on Mental Illness, said, “I hear alot of, ‘Why can’t they just get over it?’”

She spoke at an ongoing Brown Bag seriessponsored by NAMI and Behavioral HealthService North. The topic for that series was:“The Words We Choose: Stigma.”

Bonnie Black of BHSN said stigma can be lackof respect and the unwillingness to value otherhuman beings.

“A lot of the words we choose are based onour opinion and false information,” she said.

She recalled watching a football game whenan announcer said, “That team is definitelyschizophrenic.” She couldn’t believe her earsand left the room.She also cringes when shehears people exclaim someone is driving themcrazy.

“Identify your emotion and say you are frus-trated,” Black said.

For someone suffering from a mental illness,

it can be difficult to hear the illness tossedaround negatively and cruelly.

“People have a disease that is not well under-stood,” Black said. “We are just beginning to talkabout mental illness.”

Much of the problem is it is not understoodand people either doubt the illness or are fright-ened by the symptoms.

She and other speakers stressed that it is anillness, like any other. Black encourages peopleto put physical illness before mental illness.

“Mental illness is like having a broken leg,”Black said.

For example, a physical aliment of the heartcauses issues associated with having a weak ordamaged heart. The brain is just another organ,except it handles thoughts and behavior, so a de-fect or illness in that area could impact thoughtand 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 eighthgrade.

She further stressed that teachers have the re-sponsibility in the classroom of correcting lan-guage. Perhaps the language doesn’t hurt themajority of students who are privileged not tosuffer from a mental illness, but for the childrenwho are afflicted, the stigma can be emotional-ly painful, even abusive. It is also likely to affectindividuals with family members diagnosedwith a mental illness.

Panelists said Hollywood and the media donot help the situation when they sensationalizeaspects of mental illness and only play up thedramatic symptoms.

“We are going to chip away at the stigma bychanging the conversation,” Black said.
