BEEKMANTOWN — Beekmantown is developing a local law regarding the regulation and licensing of peddlers, solicitors, and transient retail merchants. That’s what Supervisor Dennis Relation said at the Sept. 19 Beekmantown Town Board meeting. “We’ve had an issue, especially on the (Military) Turnpike,” Relation said. “W e’ve had numerous complaints about a garage sale or a yar d sale that’s been ongoing since May ... That’s what brought about this issue.” Councilmember Sydney Sue Garrant said the curr ent lack of regulation is a concern. ”I think it’s something we need to have a little control over, for the safety and pr otection of our citizens,” Garrant said. In an interview the following day, Garrant said the lack of regulation represented a financial instead of a physical thr eat. Though she said there have been no reports of shady dealings yet. “If we have people who ar e doing door-to-door sales kind of things — and we have no law to have them register with the town and follow our rules and regulations pertaining to zoning — then we’re putting our citizens in a situation where we don’t know if they’re legitimate businesses,” Garrant said.

PLATTSBURGH — The Taste of Home Cooking School is back by popular demand. Denton Publications and other fine sponsors will bring the T aste of Home Cooking School back to the Cr ete Memorial Civic Center Satur day, Nov. 5, once again giving peo-
ple an opportunity to learn helpful tips and techniques through informative cooking demonstrations. Ed Coats, associate publisher of Denton Publications and New Market Pr ess, has been or ganizing T aste of Home locally since first of fering it in Burlington, Vt., six years ago. Coats worked to get the event this side of Lake Champlain last year, seeing a
large number of New Yorkers attending it faithfully year after year. And, last year exceeded Coats’ expectations, with more than 1,100 in attendance. “Last year was great,” said Coats. “The show was completely sold out. Unfortunately, we had to turn people away at the door because we had no more space or goodie bags.”
Coats anticipates a similar level of interest in this year’s event, he said. “We’ve been getting calls since June asking if we were doing it again,” said Coats. “Actually, people were asking us right after last year ’s show if we would be bringing it back. People ar e excited for Taste of Home.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 17
