Request for Artifacts Related to Arto Monaco

Request for Artifacts for New Exhibit
 
“…if you have small artifacts from Land of Make Believe, Santa’s Workshop, StoryTown or Gaslight Village that you would be willing to lend for an exhibit, we want to talk.”
The Clinton County Historical Association invites County residents to be part of a new exhibit showcasing the many talents of Arto Monaco. Arto was born in 1913 and passed from this world in 2003. He left his mark in many places and on many projects. The Clinton County Historical Museum is the proud owner of a wonderful diorama by Arto Monaco depicting the Battle of Plattsburgh and the Battle of Valcour. In addition to the diorama, the Museum would like to highlight Arto’s work on local amusement attractions in our area. Exhibit coordinator Carol Arnold asks “if you have small artifacts from Land of Make Believe, Santa’s Workshop, StoryTown or Gaslight Village that you would be willing to lend for an exhibit, we want to talk. We are looking for things like postcards, brochures, small figurines, glasses, etc. All items will be returned when the exhibit closes, and you will be noted as the contributor in the exhibit.”
The Museum will accept items through the month of July. Please call CCHA at 518-561-0340 or email your artifact description to director@clintoncountyhistorical.org. We look forward to exhibiting a treasure you may have.

Clinton County Health Department Awarded Renewal of Healthy Schools and Communities Grant to Prevent Obesity

Clinton County, NY, July 16, 2021. The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), Division of Chronic Disease Prevention and Division of Nutrition have awarded the Clinton County Health Department (CCHD) another five-year grant to prevent obesity in New York State. The Creating Healthy Schools and Communities (CHSC) grant will implement strategies in Clinton County to combat obesity and other chronic diseases in high-needs school districts and their surrounding communities. CCHD will work directly with school districts, worksites, early childcare centers and communities to improve access to nutritious affordable foods as well as increase opportunities for daily physical activity.
 
CHSC builds on the previous NYSDOH grant held by the county. Efforts will focus on sustainable policy, system and environmental changes in selected school districts and the communities where students and their families live.
‘CCHD is beyond excited to receive the next round of CHSC funding’, says Lisa Turner, Supervising Public Health Educator. ‘The grant’s multi-pronged approach will create even healthier places for residents to live, work, learn and play.’
 
CHSC staff will collaborate with area schools and communities to:
1. Establish food service guidelines in worksites and community settings to increase the availability of healthy foods.
2. Improve policies, practices and environments for physical activity and nutrition standards in Early Care and Education settings.
3. Implement community planning and active transportation interventions in municipalities to increase safe and accessible physical activity.
4. Incorporate nutrition and physical activity strategies in schools to support the CDC’s Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model.
 
The award represents the most comprehensive funding the county has received to date to complete the above activities. Turner adds, ‘This grant has been and will continue to be a substantial benefit to the health of North County residents. We look forward to the next five years.’
 
For additional information, contact CCHD’s Health Planning and Promotion Division at 518-565-4993 or visit www.clintonhealth.org.
