Carpenter, 71, of the Salisbury Ridge Runners Snowmobile Club, passed away on Wednesday, September, 12, 2018 at Faxton-St. Luke's Medical Cen- ter, New Hartford, with his loving family at his side after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born on June 30, 1947 in Little Falls, NY, the son of the late Leland A. Carpenter, Sr. and the late Doris (Rockwell) Atkins. He was a graduate of the Oppenheim-Ephratah Central School Class of 1965. On June 14, 2003, he was united in marriage to the former Linda Stallman (Randall) in Salisbury Center. Fred was a veteran of the US Air Force during the Vietnam Era. He entered the service on January 24, 1966 in Albany, NY and was honorably discharged on May 28, 1969 as a Ser- geant from Pope AFB, Fayetteville, NC. After his service to the US Air Force he transferred to the Federal Fire Service beginning his career at the former Griffiss Air Force Base, Rome, in 1973 and in 1995, he transferred to the Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts, where he retired as the Asst.

Autumn is finally in the air and the leaves are beginning to peak. With the exception of winter, fall tops my list of favorite seasons. Club memberships are coming in and over 16,000 registrations have already been filed at the DMV. The Farmer’s Almanac is calling for a long, “teeth-chattering” winter and I for one am looking forward to getting my sled out of storage and smelling some Amsoil. This fall also marks the 90th birthday of Mary Brusoe who is considered by some as the “mother of NYSSA”. Mary was instrumental in the development of what was originally called the New York State Coordi- nating Group, later renamed the New York State Snowmobile Association. Although she no longer rides a snowmobile, she is still active in snowmobiling and participates by writing articles and stories of snowmobiling trips she took when she was still able to ride. Everyone at NYSSA wishes Mary a very Happy and Healthy 90th Birthday! With the joy of wishing well to one club member we unfortunately have to say goodbye to another. Fred Carpenter from the Salisbury Ridgerunners Snowmobile Club passed away September 12, 2018 after a long battle with cancer. Fred taught the Snowmobile Groomer Operator Class at the Forum every year and was the 2015 Most Valuable Snowmobiler. Over the years, I had some great opportunities to get to know Fred and he was a man of great character who gave not only to the sport of snowmobiling but to his commu- nity and country. The NYSSA Board of Directors sends our deepest condolences to his wife Linda and his family. With October snowmobiling sees yet another hurdle and re- cent reports from the Adirondack Daily Enterprise on Octo- ber 5th outline letters sent to the New York State Depart- ment of Environmental Conservation by Adirondack Wild and the Adirondack Council opposing the re-construction of a snowmobile bridge over the Cedar River north of Indian Lake. NYSSA fully expected this move and we will continue advocating for community connector trails in the Adirondack Park that will enhance the trail system while bringing much needed economic impact to the communities in the North Country who benefit from snowmobiling. Although these issues are frustrating, we are making pro- gress and I am confident that at some point, the bridge and trails will be built. We snowmobilers are used to fight- ing for our rights as we have all too often been excluded from the equation of uses inside the ‘blue line’. Please help us support the DEC in this initiative of getting the bridge over the Cedar River rebuilt. Have a Happy Halloween and think snow!

  • Transportation During and After Hurricane Sandy
    Transportation During and After Hurricane Sandy Sarah Kaufman, Carson Qing, Nolan Levenson and Melinda Hanson Rudin Center for Transportation NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service November 2012 1 Executive Summary Hurricane Sandy demonstrated the strengths and limits of the transportation infrastructure in New York City and the surrounding region. As a result of the timely and thorough preparations by New York City and the MTA, along with the actions of city residents and emergency workers to evacuate and adapt, the storm wrought far fewer casualties than might have occurred otherwise. The MTA and New York City Police Department, Departments of Transportation, Environmental Protection, and Sanitation worked quickly to pump water out of tunnels, repair infrastructure, enforce bus lanes, and clear debris. They also informed riders of service updates and the status of infrastructure, particularly with up-to-date maps, photos and videos provided by the MTA. The experience of Hurricane Sandy reinforced the importance of having multiple modes of transportation in the New York Region: subways, buses, bridges and tunnels, ferries as well as commuter rail systems in moving people in, through and out of the New York City and surrounding region. Hurricane Sandy also highlighted key investments and policies that should be considered to assure the viability of our infrastructure during future disasters: • Install backup power for subway pumps • Consider the use of porous pavement for streets in flood-prone areas • Locate building generators and fuel sources in flood prone areas on higher floors Hurricane Sandy and its impact on transportation also provided a timely message to all New Yorkers that public transportation is essential to the economic and social well being of the people who live, work and visit here.

  • Chapter 1 — Background and Planning Context
    Chapter 1 1 BACKGROUND AND PLANNING CONTEXT 1 Background and Planning Context The West of the Hudson Regional Transit Access Study (WHRTAS) has been initiated by MTA Metro- North Railroad (Metro-North) in partnership with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (Port Authority) and in cooperation with New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) and New Jersey Transit (NJT) to improve mobility and accessibility in the West of Hudson region. Projected population and employment growth in Orange County, together with growth in ridership on Metro-North’s West of Hudson commuter service and a projected rise in Stewart International Airport (SWF) operations, necessitates the consideration of improved and expanded transit services for travelers in the region. WHRTAS evaluates alternatives for improving transit services between Central Orange County and Manhattan and access to SWF from the surrounding regions, Lower Hudson Valley and New York City. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is the lead federal agency for this study which is being conducted in accordance with FTA’s Alternatives Analysis requirements for New Starts program funds. The study also considered the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. Extensive agency coordination and public outreach was implemented to obtain input and guidance throughout this study. This included the formation of a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), which reviewed study material, advised on technical issues, and coordinated with a broad array of elected officials, agencies, organizations, and the general public through direct communication, workshops, roundtable discussions, and open houses. WHRTAS is being conducted in two phases. Phase I is the initial Alternatives Analysis (AA) phase, which evaluates the benefits, costs, and impacts of broad range of transit alternatives with the potential to meet the project's goals and objectives and concludes with the recommendation of a short list of alternatives.

  • Transportation System
    PART 4 ORANGE COUNTY’S TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM As detailed in Part 3, Orange County’s People, Places, and Economy, people, businesses, and visitors depend on Orange County’s multimodal transportation network to access daily needs, get to work and school, attend meetings, and ship freight. People travel in personal vehicles for most of their trips in Orange County, but at peak periods, buses play an important role in moving large volumes of people from Orange County to employment centers outside the county, and trucks and delivery vehicles need roads to get goods into, out of, and through Orange County. This section summarizes the roads, bridges, rail lines, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities used by Orange County’s residents, visitors, and businesses, as well as the public transportation services and freight transportation services that operate over this infrastructure. | 75 ORANGE COUNTY LRTP 2045 OVERVIEW OF THE IN THIS SECTION TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM 68 Overview of the Transportation System 87 Performance of Orange County’s Transportation Network Roads and Highways 101 Vulnerabilities, Risks, and Opportunities Orange County has more than 2,800 centerline miles of roadway. The roads that comprise the network fall under the jurisdiction of the New York crossing the Hudson River into Dutchess State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) County, and continues east into Connecti- and the New York State Thruway Authority cut. Aside from passing lanes on major (NYSTA) (which together operate and maintain uphill grades, I-84 has two lanes in each about 14 percent of the centerline miles of road- direction through Orange County, although way in the county), Orange County (11 percent), there are three lanes each way east of U.S.

    INDEX TO THE RECORDS OF THE TOWN OF SALEM NEW YORK WASHINGTON COUNTY PREPARED BY THE TOWN HISTORIAN ARCHIVE ROOM HISTORIC SALEM COMMUNITY COURT HOUSE CENTER 58 EAST BROADWAY Updated January 2016 INTRODUCTION The index describes the records of the town of Salem, including the historical records held by the historian. The archives contain those records, pictures, artifacts, correspondence, etc., which have and will have administrative, legal, research and historical value. Without these records much of our history would be lost forever. In 1992, a grant from the NYS Archives and Records Administration (SARA) enabled the town and village of Salem to begin the process of sorting, inventorying, preserving and cataloging the town and village records. In addition to the actual records, a microfilm format of Salem’s oldest records, including local newspapers, vital records, town minutes and the Dr. Asa Fitch, Jr., journals, exist in the village archives and town office. Microfilming was made possible through a Washington County SARA grant and Dr. Asa Fitch Historical Society funds. For the 2004-2005 year, a NYS Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund grant enabled the town to create its own historical archives, historian’s office, and inactive storage in the old Washington County Courthouse building at 58 East Broadway. All town records were moved from the inactive storage room in the Proudfit Building, as well as selected historical records from the Town Clerk’s Office on Main Street. This historical archive index was prepared through the efforts of William A. Cormier, historian and grant coordinator, and Dolores Phaneuf, archival clerk.
