THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INVITING US TO SPEAK TO YOU TODAY. I AM DIANNE STANCATO, CEO OF THE YWCA OF THE MOHAWK VALLEY. AT EVERY ONE OF YOUR PLACES, YOU'LL SEE A PAMPHLET THAT IS THE Y. YWCA. WHY DO WE DO THE WORK? HOW DO WE DO THE WORK AND THE NUMBERS INSIDE? IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO SHARE WITH YOU THAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS WORK FOR 140 YEARS IN ONEIDA COUNTY, AND WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF THAT. WE STARTED AT THE YWCA BACK IN 1885, AND AT THAT TIME WE WERE ON CORNELIA STREET, WHICH IS WHERE YOU PROBABLY THINK OF US BEING. BUT WE SOLD THAT A FEW YEARS AGO AND MOVED TO RUTGERS STREET IN THE OLD TEAMSTER BUILDING. SO THAT'S WHERE YOU WOULD FIND US. NOW THAT'S OUR ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES. WE DO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, CRISIS SERVICES, SEXUAL VIOLENCE, CRISIS SERVICES, CHILD ABUSE, CHILD SEXUAL ASSAULT SERVICES, AS WELL AS PREVENTION, EDUCATION AND AND THERAPY AND COUNSELING. SO HOUSING, WHAT WE DO IS WRAP AROUND SERVICES FOR VICTIMS. AND I HAVE TO THANK THE COUNTY AND, AND TONY PICENTE AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT I WORK WITH HERE. AND THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM HERE IN THIS ROOM FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP IN THIS WORK, BECAUSE WE TRULY SAVE LIVES AT THE YWCA, ACTUALLY, EVERY SINGLE DAY WE ARE ABLE TO PUT SOMEBODY IN SHELTER THAT NEEDS TO BE SAFE. AND THEN CASE MANAGEMENT WITH OUR DSS PARTNERS HERE THROUGH THE PROCESS TO GET HOUSING AND TO BEGIN TO REBUILD THEIR LIVES.AND WE WORK WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT TO PUT THE PERPETRATORS BEHIND BARS AND OUR OUR FRIEND THE DA. AND SO TO ALL OF YOU WHO WORK WITH US, TO ALL OF YOU WHO SUPPORT US, WE THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE YOU. AND WE INTEND TO DO THIS WORK FOR ANOTHER 140 YEARS. WE'RE HAVING A PARTY NEXT THURSDAY. PARTY ON THE PATIO. I HOPE YOU CAN ALL JOIN US. YOU CAN FIND INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE. AND IT'S, IT'S A FUN NIGHT OF JUST A TWO HOURS OF CELEBRATING THE SUCCESS AND THE, AND THE, THE FORWARD MOTION OF THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND FAMILIES THAT WE SERVE. SO I'D LIKE TO INVITE DANIELLE WASHBURN TO SPEAK. SHE'S GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT OCTOBER BRINGS. YES. THANK YOU, SIR, I APPRECIATE YOU. HI, EVERYONE. I AM DANIELLE WASHBURN AND I AM A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ADVOCATE. AND I WORK OUT OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY COURTS AND ALSO ACTING AS A ADVOCATE FOR HIGH RISK CLIENTS AS WELL.
SO IN OCTOBER EVERY YEAR, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH IS CELEBRATED THROUGH THE
[00:05:01]
YWCA. AND THAT'S WHERE THEY SPOTLIGHT THEIR MISSION ALONGSIDE ALL DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTY AND LOCALLY. THEY CREATE EVENTS, EFFORTS, AND EDUCATION TO BRING AWARENESS TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TO OUR COMMUNITY. SO IN OCTOBER, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING IS TWO TAKE BACK NIGHTS, ONE IN ROME AND ONE IN UTICA, AND THAT INCLUDES A MARCH, A SURVIVOR SPEAK OUT AND A CANDLELIGHT VIGIL. THERE'S GOING TO BE LIGHT UP THE SKYLINE. PURPLE WEAR PURPLE DAY ON OCTOBER 15TH, 31 DAYS OF DV ON SOCIAL MEDIA. SO WE'RE GOING TO POST ABOUT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH. DURING THAT TIME, FOR 31 DAYS, THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOCAL SURVIVOR WHO HAS WRITTEN A BOOK OF POETRY, WHICH THE Y IS GOING TO HELP HIGHLIGHT.WE'LL BE HOLDING A MOVIE SHOWING AN INTERNAL APPRECIATION EFFORTS FOR THE STAFF AS WELL. MY PURPOSE OF BEING HERE RIGHT NOW IS OUR PURPLE RIBBON CAMPAIGN, WHICH IS MY PRIMARY ASK OF EVERYONE TODAY, IS TO SEE IF YOU GUYS WOULD BE WILLING TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR PURPLE RIBBON PROGRAM, WHERE WE ARE SELLING PURPLE RIBBONS ACROSS THE COUNTY AND DISPLAYING OUR NAMES OR WHATEVER YOU WOULD LIKE TO PUT ON THEM AND DISPLAYING THEM FOR THE COMMUNITY TO SEE AND SHARE. IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH. THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. NOW WE HAVE SOME INDIVIDUALS FROM BOONVILLE, DAVE STOKLOSA, THE BOONVILLE SUPERVISOR. WOULD YOU LIKE TO STEP UP TO THE MIC? THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME. AND I GUESS THREE TOWN BOARD MEMBERS HERE, TWO TOWN BOARD MEMBERS AND I GOT SOME CLUB MEMBERS. BEAR WITH ME. A LITTLE NERVOUS, BUT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS WITH A NORTHERN COUNTY NORTHERN COUNTY ATV CLUB TO OPEN THE ROADS IN BOONVILLE FOR ATVS. UTVS TOO. SO WE'VE MET. I'VE MET WITH. JEFF A COUPLE TIMES.
I MET WITH DAVE DEAN OR NOT, ANTHONY DEAN, WE'RE THE LAST, LAST LAWYER YOU HAD. AND WE WENT TO LOWVILLE AND MET WITH LEWIS COUNTY AND TRYING BECAUSE WE WANT TO TIE A TRAIL INTO THEIR SYSTEM. AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS A LONG TIME. SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS ARE FAMILIAR WITH IT. I'VE HEARD THAT YOU GUYS WERE GOING TO PASS A LAW THAT YOU COULD. WE NEED TWO AREAS OF OF COUNTY ROAD, ONE SMALL SPOT FROM 12 UP TO WE CALL IT POTATO HILL ROAD TO THE INDUSTRIAL PARK, I DON'T KNOW, 2/10 OF A MILE MAYBE. AND. THEN WE NEED ONE FROM WEST STREET. THE TOWN LINE UP TO LEWIS COUNTY LINE, AND THEN THAT'S WHERE WE WOULD TIE INTO LEWIS COUNTY. THAT WOULD BE GREAT FOR TOURISM. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE MUCH GOING ON IN BOONVILLE. DON'T GET MUCH SNOW. SO, YOU KNOW, THINGS HAVE BEEN TOUGH UP THERE. AND WE WENT THROUGH MANY PROCESSES TO DO THIS. WE'VE WENT TO SENT A LETTER TO ALL RESIDENTS ON THE TRAIL SYSTEM AND TO GET INFORMATION FROM THEM, AND IF THEY WOULD LET US PUT TRAILS ON THEIR LAND. AND THEY CAME TO A MEETING WE TALKED TO, I DON'T KNOW, PROBABLY 30 OR 40 OF THEM.
AND WE AND WE DIDN'T GET MUCH OF A RESULT, GOOD RESULT, BUT THEY WEREN'T REALLY AGAINST IT.
SO THEN WE, YOU KNOW, WE'VE WE'VE HAD PUBLIC HEARINGS. FIRST WE HAD A MEETING THAT WAS INFORMATIONAL MEETING WHICH PACKED THE PLACE. AND THEN WE HAD OUR. FINALLY WE HAD OUR WE JUST HAD OUR PUBLIC HEARING FOR LOCAL LAW ONE. I GAVE ONE TO JEFF. I HAD ONE HERE IF YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE IT. I GOT AN EXTRA MAP HERE FOR YOU GUYS IF YOU LIKE IT, BUT WE'D LIKE TO HAVE THE COUNTY AS LONG AS US AND LEWIS COUNTY EACH GET THE BILL PASSED ON THE CONTINGENCY OF THE OTHER TWO DISTRICTS THAT YOU GOT TO DO TO HAVE THOSE PASS AND THEN GET THIS THING, ALL THREE OPEN AT THE SAME TIME. IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE ALL WAITING FOR THE OTHER ONE TO DO IT, AND WE'RE NOT GETTING IT NOWHERE. YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST SITTING HERE HOPING, YOU KNOW, I DON'T I DON'T KNOW, WE FIGURED WE'D COME DOWN AND TALK TO YOU, LET YOU KNOW WHERE WE'RE AT. BUT IT REALLY WOULD HELP OUR ECONOMY UP THERE. I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE TALKING TO OTHER TOWNS. I THINK YOU HAD CAMDEN AVA FOR SPORT. SO IT KIND OF CENTERED A LOT OF THAT. AND AND I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT BOONVILLE WOULD OPEN FIRST. AND SO WE'RE KIND OF LIKE THE ONE SETTING IT ALL UP. SO, YOU KNOW, WE STILL GOT A FEW THINGS TO DO. YOU KNOW, AT THE END WE'RE GOING TO PUT
[00:10:06]
SIGNAGE UP. THE CLUB IS GOING TO DO PERMITS. AND ALSO WE NEED, WE NEED TO KNOW ON THE LAND UP OFF IN SMITH ROAD, THAT'S THE COUNTY REFORESTATION. WE WE HAVE WAS OPEN FOR THE ATV CLUB YEARS AGO. WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S STILL OPEN. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAD PEOPLE FROM SMITH ROAD COME AND IN BOONVILLE ABOUT COMPLAINING ABOUT ATVS. WELL, KNOWING A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT LIVE ON THAT ROAD, I. THEY CAME TO OUR MEETING WITH THE SAME THING.BUT THE PEOPLE SAY THAT IT'S LOCAL KIDS DOING IT AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU'RE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT IF YOU HAVE THE TRAILS OR NOT. THESE KIDS ARE GOING TO RUN THAT ROAD. SO IT NEEDS SOME ENFORCEMENT BY THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO COME UP AND KEEP THINGS IN LINE. YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF THAT TOO. BUT YEAH, THEY'RE COMPLAINING, BUT IT'S, IT'S NOT ATVS. IT'S, IT'S THESE KIDS RUNNING. THEY SHOWED ME PICTURES OF IT AND EVERYTHING.
THEY SHOWED THE BOARD. AND IT REALLY WASN'T WHAT THEY WERE SAYING. BUT SURE, THEY DON'T WANT IT, BUT SOME PEOPLE DO WANT IT. SOME PEOPLE DON'T WANT IT. BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE TOWN WANTS IT AND WE WOULD SURE APPRECIATE YOU GUYS OPENING YOUR ROADS FOR FOR THIS. AND I'VE BEEN TALKING TO LEWIS COUNTY. THEY'RE WORKING. THEY'RE WORKING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION. SO THAT GIVES US PEOPLE CAN COME DOWN, USE OUR RESTAURANTS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
YEAH. GOOD AFTERNOON. PRETTY MUCH. I THINK DAVE JUST KIND OF COVERED A LOT OF IT. BUT FROM FROM THE CLUB ASPECT, I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT WE GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE BEHIND US. THE CLUB IS GROWING. I FEEL IT WILL GROW TREMENDOUSLY ONCE WE CAN KIND OF GET THINGS IN PLACE.
THE THE SNOWMOBILING IN THE AREA WITH THE WINTERS HAS KIND OF BEEN ON A DECLINE. A FRIEND OF MINE THAT OWNS THE LOCAL POWERSPORTS STORE THERE, HE SAID, BASICALLY, SNOWMOBILE PRODUCTION IS BEING CUT BY 30 SOME ODD PERCENT, AND THEY'RE TAKING ALL OF THAT AND REVAMPING THEM FACTORIES TO UP THE UTILITY VEHICLES, THE FOUR WHEELERS, THE SIDE BY SIDES. IT IS TECHNICALLY ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING SPORTS IN THE NORTHEAST. I A WHILE AGO WAS IN TOUCH WITH THE SHERIFF. I HAD THEM, A COUPLE OF THE SHERIFFS COME TO THE MEETINGS AND SAT IN.
THEY SAID ONCE THE LAWS ARE PASSED AND THEY HAVE COPIES OF IT, THEY CAN ENFORCE IT FROM THE CLUB ASPECT. WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE SHERIFFS ON BOARD. DEFINITELY WANT TO HAVE THINGS PATROLLED IMMEDIATELY ONCE THINGS ARE OPEN, JUST SO NOTHING GETS OUT OF CONTROL.
WE'RE TRYING TO PREVENT THAT. AND AGAIN, LIKE DAVE SAID, THE MAJORITY OF FOLKS IN TOWN EITHER DON'T HAVE AN OPINION OR ARE ALL FOR IT. IT'S IT'S A GREAT FAMILY SPORT. YOU HONESTLY SEE A LOT OF FAMILIES OUT BECAUSE THEY MAKE THE SIX SEATERS AND THEY TAKE EVERYTHING FROM INFANTS RIGHT UP THROUGH, AND WE JUST APPRECIATE YOUR. YOUR HELP GOING FORWARD AND ANYTHING YOU NEED, PLEASE LET US KNOW. THANK YOU. AARON. BRIDGET. OH, OKAY.
OKAY. FRANCIS BROWN. ALL RIGHT. THE ONE STORE ON ANOTHER SQUARE MAY HAVE BEEN SHUT DOWN WITH SOME SWIFT ACTION YET, YET STILL POISON IS BEING PEDDLED AND CONSUMED, EVEN WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT WATCHING, IT'S STILL OCCURRING. THE BIG ISSUE WITH THIS IS YOU CUT OFF ONE HEAD, ANOTHER GROWS ELSEWHERE. EVEN WITH THE EFFORTS OF THE NEW HOMELESS COMMITTEE, SERVICES ARE BEING REFUSED. WKBW-TV HAD AN ARTICLE AND HAD ONE PERSON CLAIM HARD TO. HARD TO SAY THAT YOU'RE HOMELESS, YET COULD TELL W K TV GET THE HELP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE AND BECOME ANOTHER PURPLE FLAG ON THE PARKWAY. SO JAMES WILKINSON IN THE 18TH FLOOR CAN LOCK ME OUT OF A UNIT BEFORE I CAN COMPLETE MY MOVE, AND THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY WILL DO
[00:15:01]
NOTHING. THE MULTI FLOOR LLC CLAIMS I LEFT IT ON SECURE. SO WHY DID YOU HAVE TO CUT OFF THE LOCK? AS SOON AS I GET THE POLICE BODY CAMERA, I WILL BE POSTING IT VIA YOUTUBE. I HAVE ALREADY RELEASED SOME POOL CAMERA FOOTAGE SHOWING THE TRUTH. HOW CAN A JIMMY DIAZ THAT WORKS FOR THE PUBLIC DEFENDER'S OFFICE FILED FALSE DOCUMENTS, INSTRUMENTS WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND VIOLATE MY CIVIL RIGHTS. YET THE DA WILL DO NOTHING BUT THE SECOND I'M ACCUSED OF SOMETHING. THE DA TRIES TO COME AT ME WITH THE BOOK NOT EVEN PREPARED.NEWSFLASH TRIAL STARTS NOW. NEW GAME. LET'S SEE WHO'S BREAKING THE LAW MORE. LET'S START WITH THE ILLEGAL PARKING ON POSTS. GET OFF THE SIDEWALK, STOP TEXTING AND DRIVING. NEW YORK HAS A NO TOUCH LAW. THIS APPLIES TO YOUR DEPARTMENT TOO. WHAT THE DA NEEDS TO START INVESTIGATING IS THE MEDICAID TRANSPORTATION SERVICES TRYING TO JAM AS MANY FARES IN AS POSSIBLE, MAKING CLIENTS LATE FOR APPOINTMENTS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO GET ANOTHER FARE IN, LEAVING THEM AT THEIR DOCTOR'S OFFICE OUT OF TOWN FOR OVER AN HOUR, USING EXCESSIVE SPEEDS OF 78MPH ON ROUTE 49 AND 365. TIME FOR SOME REAL ENFORCEMENT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. THIS.
THIS STATE. THIS IS A STATE ELECTION YEAR. NEED TO TAKE OUT THE REMAINING STORES SELLING THAT POISON. I SEE WILLIAM STREET STORE DOORS OPENED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. ARE THEY BACK IN BUSINESS? SHOW THE COUNTY SHOW THE COUNTY MEANS BUSINESS. I SEE ANOTHER COUNTY FOLLOWED SUIT WITH A RANDOM BAN. LET ONEIDA COUNTY LEAD THE WAY FOR A CRACKDOWN ON ILLEGAL DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES. I INVITE YOU, ESPECIALLY THE UTICA DISTRICT LEGISLATORS, TO NEXT WEEK'S COMMON COUNCIL MEETING, TO HEAR MORE ON THE CITY OF UTICA ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. MOST ARE AFRAID TO SPEAK OUT DUE TO RETALIATION WITHIN THE. WITHIN UTICA, IT IS FALLING BACK INTO SIN CITY. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, A BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE UTICA DPW AND PARKS DEPARTMENT AND THE HARD WORKING, DEDICATED CREWS FOR CLEANING UP MESS AFTER MESS OF THE STREET ADDICTS KEEP MAKING. BECAUSE OF THIS ENDLESS TASK, IT SLOWS THEIR PROGRESS ON OTHER NEEDED REPAIRS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK DOWNTOWN! FRANKIE BROWN HAS YOUR BACK AGAINST SOME CRITICS THAT WOULD DARE, WOULD NOT DARE DO WHAT YOUR DEPARTMENT IS DEALING WITH.
