A Taste of Vermont arrives in Canton
Jan. 26—CANTON — Robert Gladding, an Ogdensburg native with 25 years of experience working and running restaurants and delis in Vermont, has returned to St. Lawrence County to offer a taste of Vermont.
Miranda's Cafe, A Taste of Vermont, is located on Main Street, where Wimpy's Inn most recently operated. It appears to have been an immediate success.
The deli, which focuses on sandwiches made with Vermont-sourced ingredients like maple syrup, cheddar cheese and homemade maple mustard, has been overwhelmed by demand. Gladding said he's been making 215 sandwiches in less than five hours since opening day, sold out one of his signature dishes, shepherd's pie.
Gladding said since it was his first business in New York, his bank had him work with the Small Business Development Center at SUNY Canton to secure financing and develop financial projections.
"(SBDC Business Advisor) Michelle Collins is wonderful," Gladding said. She's amazing. She really is. She's a great person. She listened to everything I said. We made up first, second, and third-year projections, and it seems like I'm well over projections three times."
Gladding also had to navigate finding the right location, initially looking at spaces in Messena before settling on the current Canton location.
Gladding said his initial success his due to offering something unavailable in Canton.
There are plenty of pizza places, he said, but no one who emphasizes quality sandwiches.
"I'm a little bit different. I make my own 1,000 Island dressing. I make my own maple mustard dressing. I make a lot of in-house stuff," He said.
Gladding has about two dozen sandwiches on his menu, mostly sold for about $11. Some sandwiches are named after his wife and three children, who all help out in the deli.
There's the Miranda, pastrami with melted Swiss cheese, house-made cole slaw and 1,000 Island dressing served on grilled rye bread and the Livy Lou, ham, melted Swiss cheese and honey mustard served on grilled rye bread.
He said the Miranda, named for his wife, is his best-selling sandwich.
Gladding said he plans to buy the building in the coming months and plans to convert the second floor into housing.
"Canton has been very accepting, very amazing to us, I'm truly blessed to be here," Gladding said.
The restaurant is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Monday, Thursday, and Friday and from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday.

Crypto Daybook Americas: Bitcoin Drops as Mideast Tensions Rise, but $200K Still In Play
By Francisco Rodrigues (All times ET unless indicated otherwise) A weaker dollar, subdued inflation and heightened tensions in the Middle East are reshaping the crypto market's trajectory, giving bitcoin (BTC) room to run in the future, while pushing it down in the near term. While the largest cryptocurrency is lower today, analysts say a price of $200,000 is in play by year-end. One influence is the U.S. interest rate. Consumer prices rose less than forecast last month, increasing the chance of a Federal Reserve rate cut, which would bolster risk assets including cryptocurrencies. With core inflation stable at 2.8%, traders now largely expect two cuts this year beginning in September, according to the CME's FedWatch tool. Then there's the Middle East. The U.S. said yesterday it was moving people out of the region over heightened security risk and amid reports Israel is considering military action against Iran. Earlier today, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nation's nuclear watchdog, ruled that Iran was in breach of its non-proliferation duties for the first time in 20 years. With tensions rising, investors are ditching the dollar in favor of safe havens including gold and the Swiss franc as they position for a potential conflict. That has also pushed down cryptocurrency prices, with BTC losing 1.7% of its value in the last 24 hours and the broader CoinDesk 20 (CD20) Index retreating 2.25%. 'Bitcoin continues to trade like a classic risk-on asset, responding sharply to macro tailwinds,' Boris Alergant, head of institutional partnerships at Babylon and a former Ripple and JPMorgan executive, told CoinDesk. 'That said, the broader picture for BTC remains optimistic,' Alergant said. 'More institutions are emulating MicroStrategy's BTC treasury strategy, creating a steady base of structural demand.' Still, the SEC's recent willingness to greenlight ETF applications tied to altcoins such as solana, led to predictions of an 'altcoin ETF summer' while signals of regulatory friendliness toward staking and protocol-based yield helped lift DeFi tokens. 'This marks the first time the SEC has shown coordinated openness to both layer-1 assets and the DeFi ecosystem,' Youwei Yang, chief economist at BIT Mining, told CoinDesk in an emailed statement. James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, pointed to $900 million in new digital asset fund inflows this week, suggesting that investor confidence is rebounding. 'This resurgence comes as bitcoin trades near all-time highs and global money supply conditions loosen, suggesting there could be further upside potential for digital asset prices more broadly,' he said. Keep in mind, though, the balance of global events. Tame inflation could help boost risk assets, yet unexpected escalation in the Middle East could reverse those gains. Stay alert!

The project's goal is to flip the entire U.S. stock market in terms of capitalization and while it's a few trillion dollars away, it has amassed a $1.7 billion market cap. Crypto analyst and social media personality Murad famously racked up a $40 million unrealized loss earlier this year. That loss has become a $55 million gain due to the token's ascent. SPX remains one of just a handful of altcoins that are positive over the past 24 hours as much of the market continues to reel over fears that a fighting could escalate in the Middle East. Gold and oil prices rose significantly overnight, which is historically a sign of impending conflict. CoinMarketCap's AI agent memecoin sector is down by 3.5%. Bitcoin options open interest on Deribit has reached $36.7 billion, the highest level seen this month. The dominant expiry remains June 27 with over $13.8 billion in notional open interest, and bullish call positioning continuing to cluster at the $140,000 strike. The put/call ratio stands at 0.60, reflecting a moderate bias toward calls, though less so than in recent sessions. Ether options open interest has climbed to a yearly high of $6.87 billion on Deribit. More than $2.38 billion in notional value is tied to the June 27 expiry, with calls heavily concentrated at the $3,000 strike where $614 million is positioned. The put/call ratio sits at 0.45, indicating a strong preference for upside exposure into the quarter-end. BTC funding rates have stabilized across major venues, with Deribit at 12.84% APR, Bybit at 10.75%, and Binance at 8.12%, according to data from Velo. This supports the view that long positioning remains elevated, but not at extremes. Aggregate futures open interest stands at $55.4 billion across Binance, Bybit, OKX, Deribit and Hyperliquid with Binance accounting for $23.3 billion of that total, based on Velo data.

If the pullback continues, Monday's low at $149.68 serves as a key downside target. This level also aligns with a weekly demand zone (order block), potentially acting as a strong support area.

World Cup skiers promised at least 10% rise in race prize money next season
Associated Press GENEVA (AP) — Prize money across all World Cup disciplines will increase by at least 10% next season, the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) said Friday. Superstars in Alpine skiing earn the most — Mikaela Shiffrin and Marco Odermatt each made a record $1 million in race prize money in the 2023 season — but top racers in ski cross and snowboard disciplines typically earn less than 100,000 Swiss francs ($123,000) for the winter. 'It is clear that we still have a lot to do when it comes to rewarding our athletes as they deserve,' FIS President Johan Eliasch said in a statement. FIS said it will guarantee a 10% increase and hopes that race organizers add an extra 10% 'on a voluntary basis.' 'This is an important step, but only another one in a long way ahead,' Eliasch said. In ski jumping, Daniel Tschofenig topped the men's prize money list last season with 372,550 Swiss francs ($459,000), and women's leader Nika Prevc earned almost 130,000 Swiss francs ($160,000). The most lucrative venue is storied Austrian resort Kitzbuehel which had a total prize fund last season of 1 million euros ($1.15 million) across a three-race weekend for men. ___ AP skiing: in this topic
