Peru – Thanks to the many people who attended, community support, the wonderful weather, and the many volunteers, the 2022 Applefest was a success. Approximately 125 volunteers contribute time and talents to make it happen.
The best part of the Applefest is to hear the cheerful greetings between people, especially when they haven’t seen each other for a long time. The Applefest is a time for reunions and enjoying time together.
These photos, accompanied by music, include some volunteers and people who attended the 2022 St. Augustine’s Applefest.
Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Elise Stefanik announced an upcoming virtual workshop for high school students interested in applying to a U.S. Military Service Academy.
“This free workshop is an important resource for students in my district who are considering the extensive opportunities available through our nation’s prestigious military academies,” Stefanik said. “The North Country and Upstate New York have a proud tradition of service, and attending one of our nation’s premier military academies is an incredible honor and distinction. I hope students in our district will take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about these institutions and a career in the U.S. military, and I look forward to hearing from our district’s prospective nominees.”
The event, also hosted by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-22), and Congressman John Katko (NY-24), is open to any high school student in New York’s 21st District interested in learning more about the United States Service Academies and the congressional nomination process.

“The Department has not established adequate controls to effectively monitor and ensure accountability over transportation expenses. The Department performs limited to no central monitoring of payments made through the Contractor. Further, the Contractor data does not include sufficient detail the Department would need to adequately monitor vehicle repairs and maintenance costs. Also, the Department does not monitor in-house maintenance expenses but, rather, relies on each facility or office for accurate reporting.”
Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Elise Stefanik today announced Behavioral Health Services North in Plattsburgh will receive $746,744 from the Department of Health and Human Services to invest in mental health and substance abuse services.
“These taxpayer dollars will return to our district to protect and care for the mental health of our communities,” Stefanik said. “I look forward to witnessing the impact of these funds on keeping our community members healthy and safe, especially as fentanyl overdoses are devastating too many families across our district. I will continue to work to increasing access to mental health and substance abuse services across our district.”
