  • A Chronicle of the Wood Family
    YORKSHIRE TO WESTCHESTER A CHRONICLE OF THE WOOD FAMILY By_ HERBERT BARBER HOWE PUBLISHED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA By THE TUTTLE PususHING Co., INC. · Edwin F. Sharp, Lessee RUTLAND, VERMONT 1948 ]AMES Woon 1762-1852 THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO THE COUSINS GRACE WOOD HAVILAND AND ELIZABETH RUNYON HOWE WHO OWN THE HOUSES BUILT BY THEIR GRANDFATHERS ON THE LAND ACQUIRED BY THEIR GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER COUNTY OFFICE BUILDING WHITE PLAINS, NEW YORK The Westchester County Historical Society welcomes this volume as an important addition to the history of a rapidly changing country­ side. Mr. Howe, who is the highly effective editor of the Society's Bulletin, has been resourceful in his research and engaging in his presentation of his findings. Many a genealogical clue has been fol­ lowed to the point where an important discovery concerning persons or events was possible. Yet Mr. Howe is insistent that there are still loose ends in his study; for the absence of records can thwart the most determined chronicler. The story of the Wood family, from the days of the restless Puri­ tans in Yorkshire to the present era in Westchester, is richly furnished with exciting incidents and worthy achievements. The Tory an­ cestor during the American Revolution, who migrated to Nova Scotia and there built for himself a new life, is typical of many per­ sons in Westchester, who could not follow the signers of the Declara­ tion of Independence in their decision to break allegiance ro the British Empire. In the case of the Wood family the conflicting theories of empire brought a break in family ties during those troub­ lous years; and the task of the family historian was thus made much more difficult.

  • 'Five Year Review Report' for Hudson River Pcbs Site
    Recommendations to EPA for the “Five Year Review Report” for Hudson River PCBs Site Executive Summary The Hudson River is one of the highest priority natural resources for the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) in New York State. Since the 1970s, DEC has been at the forefront in requiring General Electric (GE) to address the PCB contamination of the Hudson River. With over forty years of effort involved in confronting this major environmental issue, DEC has a unique historical perspective to offer to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). DEC scientists and engineers have conducted an independent evaluation of the site history and current conditions, utilizing EPA’s own guidance and criteria for performing five year remedy reviews. DEC also has a point of view different from EPA, in that the Hudson River is primarily a natural resource of the State; the people of the State will be making use of this precious resource long into the future. As a result, DEC is providing the State’s positions on the upcoming 2017 Five- Year Review (FYR) for the Hudson River PCBs Site before EPA finalizes its report. DEC’s position has been informed by an independent evaluation of the information and data available for the site in an effort to provide EPA with an objective analysis regarding whether or not the remedy is protective of human health and the environment. When deciding on the remedy for the Hudson River, EPA considered that cancer and non-cancer health risks were well above the acceptable risk range for people who ate fish from both the upper Hudson River (between Hudson Falls and Troy) and the lower Hudson River (from Troy south to Manhattan).

Fernald and Helena Andreyko Editors A Joint Program of The Hudson River Foundation and The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation December 2015 ABSTRACT Eight studies were conducted within the Hudson River Estuary under the auspices of the Tibor T. Polgar Fellowship Program during 2013. Major objectives of these studies included: (1) reconstruction of past climate events through analysis of sedimentary microfossils, (2) determining past and future ability of New York City salt marshes to accommodate sea level rise through vertical accretion, (3) analysis of the effects of nutrient pollution on greenhouse gas production in Hudson River marshes, (4) detection and identification of pathogens in aerosols and surface waters of Newtown Creek, (5) detection of amphetamine type stimulants at wastewater outflow sites in the Hudson River, (6) investigating establishment limitations of new populations of Oriental bittersweet in Schodack Island State Park, (7) assessing macroinvertebrate tolerance to hypoxia in the presence of water chestnut and submerged aquatic species, and (8) examining the distribution and feeding ecology of larval sea lamprey in the Hudson River basin. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ............................................................................................................... iii Preface ................................................................................................................. vii Fellowship Reports Pelagic Tropical to Subtropical Foraminifera in the Hudson River: What is their Source?

Bard emphasizes mandatory curricular components, with the goal of preparing students for a lifetime of thoughtful engagement with complex issues. These issues are often scientific in nature, and thus necessitate an ability to engage with frequently unfamiliar scientific concepts in a thoughtful and appropriate way, the essence of scientific literacy. Inability to do so can lead to disempowerment and lack of engagement. In recognition that scientific literacy is both a key feature of, and pathway to, an engaged and informed citizenry, Citizen Science was added to the College’s first year core curriculum in 2011. The Citizen Science program is an intense 3-week course held over the January intersession, during which all first year students participate in common processes of scientific inquiry.

Our approach is simple—we are strengthening our commitment to protect New York State’s vast natural resources while seeking compelling ways for people to enjoy the great outdoors in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. The result is sustainable economic activity based on a sincere appreciation of our state’s natural resources and the values they provide. We invite New Yorkers and visitors alike to enjoy our high-quality water resources. New York is blessed with fisheries resources across the state. Every day, we manage and protect these fisheries with an eye to the future. To date, New York has made substantial investments in our fishing access sites to ensure that boaters and anglers have safe and well-maintained parking areas, access points, and boat launch sites. In addition, we are currently investing an additional $3.2 million in waterway access in 2019, including: • New or renovated boat launch sites on Cayuga, Oneida, and Otisco lakes • Upgrades to existing launch sites on Cranberry Lake, Delaware River, Lake Placid, Lake Champlain, Lake Ontario, Chautauqua Lake and Fourth Lake. New York continues to improve and modernize our fish hatcheries. As Governor, I have committed $17 million to hatchery improvements.

The Empire State is unmatched in the quality and diversity of our fish species, and ranks fifth in the nation for total acreage of freshwater fishing locations. There are so many opportunities to get out and enjoy this important sport, and I have made it a priority to ensure that all New Yorkers have access to the State’s abundant fishing resources. That is why the NY is Open for Fishing and Hunting initiative has provided more than $4 million over the last three years to rehabilitate existing boat launches and construct new launches across the state. In addition, New York continues to make great progress toward our goal of establishing 50 new or improved land and water access sites. In 2016, we opened new universally accessible fishing piers and hand carry launches on the Esopus Creek in Ulster County and Looking Glass Pond in Schoharie County. We refurbished the Dunkirk Harbor Fishing Pier in Chautauqua County, which now provides access for users of all abilities to the outstanding fishing found in this area of Lake Erie. 2017 will see the opening of a brand new boat launch on Meacham Lake in Franklin County and updated facility on the northern end of Cayuga Lake.
