In Victorian era costume for the occasion, Madame Datura regaled the Amenia Library’s Tea Society meeting on Saturday, Oct. 11, with the history of plants and poisons, all the rage in 19th century literature and in fact.

AMENIA — Breaking from its usual tea and pastries format, the Saturday, Oct 11 meeting of the Amenia Tea Society featured a Victorian costumed talk by area resident Madame Datura titled “Poison in Relation to Tea.”
When not inhabiting the character of Madame Datura, author Renee Fleury of Brewster has extensive experience as a botanist and has studied the properties of plants, including the long history of poisonous plants and how they impacted past generations through popular literature or use, innocent or on purpose.
“Poison was everywhere,” Fleury said. “Half of all plant life is considered poisonous, but not all are fatal.”
“As a literary device, poisoning is subtle,” Fleury explained, noting the poisonous properties of Monkshood, Moonflower and Foxglove. Because it is a slow process, it was a popular device in the Victorian era detective genre that gained popularity through the novels of Poe, Dickens, Conan Doyle and more.
Even arsenic needs more than one dose to be effective, up to four to be exact.
“Arsenic is undetectable for a long time,” Fleury noted.
“The 19th century is full of stories in the press and in literature,” Fleury said. “It was the Golden Age of Poisoning.”
Wives in the Victorian era had few rights and often resorted to poisoning to escape the trap of spousal violence, Fleury noted.
About poisons, Fleury said that they are not painless, poisoning takes premeditation.
“Alkaloids make a plant poisonous,” Fleury noted. Alkaloids are molecular structures within a plant, but they are seasonal, not always there. The species, the plant part and the dosage are all variables.
Many potentially poisonous plants are currently used in medicines, Fleury said. Moonflower, for example, is a medicinal ingredient used to treat a variety of ailments.
“We cannot survive without plants,” Fleury said speaking of the great advances in medicines used today.
For generations, it was thought that small doses of arsenic were helpful. Steaks were routinely dipped in arsenic to retard spoilage. Green dye produced from arsenic was used in fabric coloring until it was proven that contact with that fabric was fatal. Arsenic was also used in the bookbinding process.
Fleury, and Madame Datura, schedule appearances throughout the region. For information, go to refleur369@gmail.com.

Planning Board members granted a waiver to the proposed cannabis dispensary located in the historic weigh station on Route 82 allowing the business to operate within 300 feet of the firehouse and the Post Office in contradiction with Pine Plains's local law. Town attorney Warren Replansky explained the town's codes would likely be unenforceable following legal decisions handed down by the Office of Cannabis Management on Monday, Oct. 6.

PINE PLAINS — Members of the Planning Board voted unanimously to grant a waiver to Upstate Pines allowing the cannabis dispensary to operate within 300 feet of the firehouse and the Post Office at their regular meeting Wednesday, Oct. 8.
That vote came after Planning Board attorney Warren Replansky explained recent state guidance superceded the town’s ability to restrict the business on the grounds of its proximity to the Post Office and the firehouse.
Approval of the dispensary itself was not yet granted, and the public hearing will be continued at the Wednesday, Nov. 12, meeting of the Planning Board.
Replansky explained an advisory opinion handed down on Monday, Oct. 6, from the state government and the Office of Cannabis Management clarified that municipalities may only legally restrict a nonmedical cannabis dispensary’s distance to a “public youth facility,” defined as a publicly accessible space with the primary purpose of providing services to children.
“So that might’ve saved you a bit of time,” Planning Board Chair Michael Stabile said to the applicants following Replansky’s remarks.
Next steps for the project now require the applicants to undergo State Environmental Quality Review, a standard process that most major development projects are required to follow.
Planning Board members, Replansky and the applicants also discussed parking and traffic control plans after receiving input from Dutchess County Planners that requested more specific information about the potential future uses on the site including a grocery store and an ice cream shop.
County planners wanted to see a detailed description of the scope of all future uses to limit the possibility of segmentation, which is when a project is proposed and completed in vague phases that inhibit the full environmental review process.
Also on the agenda was a resolution to allow construction of a small house at 441 Carpenter Hill Road and the approval of a site plan for ground-mounted solar panels in the backyard of a residence at 560 Carpenter Hill Road. Board members approved the resolution for the small house and accepted the site plan for the solar panels, setting a public hearing on the matter for Wednesday, Nov. 12.
