We have people here from all along the east coast
Peru, NY April 8, 2024, If you’re at the Route 22- Route 22B intersection, you’d never know there’s something special happening today, but if you stop at Rulfs Orchards, Ausable Chasm, Ausable Point, and even Heyworth-Mason Park, you’ll change your mind. Between 10:15 and noon today, the Peru Gazette talked to people from Saratoga, Albany, the Hudson Valley, Ithaca, NYC, New Jersey, Southeast PA, Baltimore, Rockville, MD, and Tampa, FL. Almost all of them are total eclipse veterans, having traveled to see the 2017 total eclipse in places like Tennessee and Kentucky.
Many also have something else in common—they love Rulfs donuts! We hope they stay in our area for a few days. They’ll love it.

Engineering the Future – A weekend-long celebration of creativity and ingenuity!
PLATTSBURGH, NY – The Strand Center for the Arts is proud to announce Engineering the Future: a weekend-long celebration of creativity and ingenuity produced by the Strand and Plattsburgh Robotics. The weekend, April 13-14th consists of three events, challenging participants of all ages and backgrounds to create something truly remarkable! The three events include the ADK Coast 3D Print Sprint: 24-Hour 3D Printing Challenge, Robot Rampage: 24-Hours of Byte-Sized Challenges, and Make it AWESOME: Maker Community Challenge.
“This is a great opportunity to flex that creative muscle and apply it to a STEAM-related project for many ages!” — Dove Phillips, Event Co-Organizer, Plattsburgh Robotics
For the third year in a row, the Strand Center for the Arts is hosting the 24-hour 3D printing challenge ADK Coast 3D Print Sprint. Students, in teams of 2-4, are presented with a challenge to complete in 24 hours while locked in the arts center. The ADK Coast 3D Print Sprint is open to students in 8th grade through college.
“I have had the pleasure of being on-site the past two years for this event and it truly is incredible to see the creativity and ingenuity of these students. I‘m proud we‘re able to host such a unique event for our region here at the Strand and it’s exciting to see this event evolve.” — Megan Charland, Artistic Programming Director
The first Adirondack Coast 3D Print Sprint event was held in spring 2016 at the Champlain Valley Transportation Museum. In 2022, the event moved to the Strand Center for the Arts.
Between the Strand’s growing MakerSpace programming and ongoing commitment to supporting youth in the community, hosting this event was an easy choice. As co-producers of the event, the Strand’s education team has assisted the event organizers in expanding the event to celebrate these students’ creativity.

DEC Announces Launch of New Podcast: ‘DEC Does What?!’
Biweekly Podcast to Spotlight DEC Experts Working to Protect New Yorkers and the EnvironmentPremiere Episode Focuses on Impact of Upcoming Solar Eclipse on New York Wildlife
New Yorkers Reminded to Plan Ahead for Safe Viewing Experience During 2024 Solar Eclipse
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) launched a new podcast, “DEC Does What?!” Each episode will feature conversations with DEC experts about the agency’s wide-ranging efforts to protect New Yorkers and the environment. The first episode of “DEC Does What?!” is streaming on the DEC website. All episodes will be available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all other major podcast services in the coming weeks.
“From DEC’s social media feeds and updated website to our press releases and Conservationist magazine, DEC is continuously exploring new ways to communicate with the New Yorkers we serve,” Commissioner Basil Seggos said. “DEC’s new podcast will feature incredible employees from the agency’s regional offices and divisions across the state, all committed to protecting our natural resources and public health. Whether DEC experts are talking about the eclipse, mitigating climate change, cleaning up legacy pollution, or encouraging responsible recreation, our team is at the forefront of efforts to address the evolving environmental challenges facing our state. Tune in to learn something new during DEC Does What?!”
The first episode of “DEC Does What?!”—featuring biologists Dr. Angelena Ross and Dr. Dan Rosenblatt, both with DEC’s Division of Fish and Wildlife—focuses on the potential effects of the April 8 solar eclipse on New York wildlife, work underway to protect endangered wildlife, and how different species adapt to changes in their habitat caused by climate change and other factors. Hosted by Executive Deputy Commissioner Sean Mahar and Chief of Staff Erica Ringewald, the bi-weekly podcast also includes an update on environmental news and recent DEC initiatives.

Serving as a display of unity, remembrance and hope, a Donate Life flag will be raised and flown in tribute to organ donors and their families.

A small reception will be held immediately following.
So far in 2024, three North Country families have said “yes” to organ donation and three lives have been saved through these gifts of organ donation.

Regardless of age, pre-existing health conditions, lifestyle or religion, organ donation registration is encouraged and welcomed.
