The 2008 NYS Fallen Firefighter Memorial Booklet State of New York DaviD a. PaterSoN Governor October 7, 2008 Dear Friends: Each year, we gather at this poignantly beautiful memorial to honor our fallen firefighters and their sacrifices in service to New York State’s communities. I solemnly join with the loving families and friends of these heroes – as well as legions of firefighters – to commemorate their lives and legacy. The Annual Fallen Firefighters Memorial Ceremony reflects our sadness over the untimely deaths of this state’s firefighters and our pride in them and all men and women in fire service. The entire family of New Yorkers shares in this moment to remember these exceptionally brave individuals and offers support to those left behind. While the pain never completely ends, they can be assured that the death of their loved one was not in vain, as it was a fervent call to duty that inspired them to serve. There are now more than 2,300 names inscribed on the Fallen Firefighters MemorialWall, each one representing an individual who served a noble and courageous cause. Today, as always, it is a difficult task to add the names of those lost in the line of duty over the past year to the memorial. While it is an event where we can collectively mourn our loss, it also reflects our pride in all who have devoted themselves to fire service. We owe a lasting debt of gratitude to the more than 100,000 firefighters who serve in communities across New York State and recognize their dedication to protecting the lives of their fellow citizens, always willing to put themselves at great personal risk. With true heart, compassion and selflessness, they respond to emergencies day and night – and we who count on them to save lives and prevent disaster, thank each and every one of them. It is certainly heartbreaking when the best are taken from us and I offer my deepest sympathy to the families who have lost a precious family member. All New Yorkers salute those who made the ultimate sacrifice and we will never forget just how proud they were to carry out their responsibilities with a degree of valor that is unfathomable to most of us. Warmest regards to all of you. Sincerely, DAVID A. PATERSON executive chamber State capitol albany 12224 http://www.state.ny.us ThE Senate State OF NEW YORk ALbANY 12247 DEAN G. SkELOS PRESIDENT PRO TEM MAjORITY LEADER October 7, 2008 Dear Friends: It is an honor and privilege to join with you today at this year’s salute to New York State’s fallen firefighters. As New Yorkers, we all benefit from the tremendous public service that our firefighters provide. Unfortunately, due to their unselfish acts of courage, some will make the ultimate sacrifice by giving their lives for the sake of others. The New York State Fallen Firefighters Memorial is our tribute to those brave souls. This monument stands as a powerful reminder of the extraordinary dedication of those who have lost their lives in the line of duty. While we feel the pain of their families’ sacrifice, we are inspired by the exceptional character and excellence that they demonstrated as firefighters and New Yorkers. Today is a day to honor these departed firefighters while also giving thanks to those who continue to serve New York with the highest level of commitment. On behalf of the Senate, I am proud to extend my deepest appreciation to this distinguished group of firefighters and to recognize their exceptional commitment to the safety of our citizens, communities and state. Sincerely, Dean G. Skelos Senate Majority Leader NEW YORk STATE ASSEMbLY October 7, 2008 Dear Friends: It is a privilege today to welcome you to this year’s dedication ceremony at the New York State Fallen Firefighters Memorial. On this solemn occasion, we are drawn together to commemorate the bravery and heroism of those who lost their lives trying to save others. As we grieve with their family members, we are also inspired by their exceptional character and unwavering commitment to our community. The Fallen Firefighters Memorial serves as a silent testimony to their exceptional valor. It also reminds us of the tremendous dedication of all firefighters who put their lives at risk every time they answer the alarm. On behalf of the New York State Assembly, I extend my appreciation to all those who have joined us today to honor those who made the supreme sacrifice. The names on this monument will forever honor the tremendous service and legacy of their heroism.

This tradition solemnly honors our State’s fallen heroes who gave their lives in the courageous performance of their duties. This year’s ceremony pays tribute to ten Empire State firefighters. These courageous New Yorkers, who fell in the line of duty, gave their lives so that others may live. Today, we bear witness to this selfless dedication—the midnight calls, leaving family and friends to endure hard physical challenges and dangerous conditions– these are the sum and substance of a firefighter’s life. Firefighters risk their lives to defend people they are likely not to know and may never see again. They perfectly exemplify the spirit of community. They protect citizens, property and the environment. We owe them a debt of gratitude for the valor they have demonstrated in a service they loved. The Fallen Firefighters Memorial will memorialize for generations to come the sacrifice of those whose names are inscribed here and to remind us of the bravery and valor of all those who pursue this exalted calling – New York’s firefighters. This solemn wall does not attempt to recount the courageous and inspiring stories of individual firefighters. It stands rather as a giant stone ledger, whereon each year we tally the debt that we as a society owe the firefighting community, a debt of gratitude we fully realize can never be repaid. May we find solace knowing that the individuals we mourn will be remembered and honored by generations to come.

We welcome families, friends, and colleagues here to honor those who have made the supreme sacrifice. We take this time to reflect on their dedication to the service they loved and their bravery in the performance of their duties. The loss of any firefighter is a loss to the entire firefighting community. Moreover, it is a loss to family and community. Firefighters unstintingly give of themselves to service with the certain knowledge that such service may result in the sacrifice of their lives.This to protect us all. In an effort to protect our firefighters, I pledge that the Office of Fire Prevention and Control will continue to strive for the most current technology as well as the best methods and safety practices in our training and assistance programs. Our goal is to one day gather to celebrate a time when no names need be added to this Memorial Wall. I am humbled and honored to be part of this ceremony. It is a reflection of the firefighter’s devotion to duty. Today, we remember and celebrate those who have served and those who continue to serve in the noble calling of firefighter.

    Development News Highlights MANHATTAN - MID-2ND QUARTER 2019 PLUS AN OUTER BOROUGH SNAPSHOT Pictured: 315 Meserole Street Looking Ahead U.S. Treasury Releases Additional Opportunity Zones Guidelines On April 17th the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued a highly anticipated second set of proposed regulations related to the new Opportunity Zone (OZ) tax incentive. Created by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the tax benefi t is designed to drive economic development and create jobs by encouraging long-term investments in economically distressed communities nationwide according to the Treasury department’s press release. The latest 169-page release reportedly delivered guidance in a broader range of areas than many expected, hoping to provide investors who have been on the fence with the clarity needed to begin developing projects in distressed areas nationwide. Some government offi cials anticipate the program could spur $100 billion in new investment into the more than 8,762 zones nationwide, of which 306 are located in New York City; however there exist some concerns among critics that the program will incentivize gentrifi cation, or provide added benefi t to developers for projects they would have been pursued anyway. According to the press release by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), a key part of the newly released guidance clarifi es the “substantially all” requirements for the holding period and use of the tangible business property: • For use of the property, at least 70% of the property must be used in a qualifi ed OZ. • For the holding period of the property, tangible property must be qualifi ed opportunity zone business property for at least 90% of the Qualifi ed Opportunity Fund’s (QOF) or qualifi ed OZ business’s holding period.

  • The World Trade Center, Then the World's Tallest Building, Was Built in Lower Manhattan in the Early 1970'S (Figure K – Su
    Bedrock Control of a Boulder-Filled Valley Under the World Trade Center Site Cheryl J. Moss, Mueser Rutledge Consulting Engineers, 14 Penn Plaza, New York, NY 10122 ([email protected]), and, Charles Merguerian, Geology Department, 114 Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY 11549 ([email protected]; [email protected]) INTRODUCTION Then the world’s tallest buildings, the former World Trade Center Twin Towers were built in lower Manhattan in the early 1970’s. A new construction technology at the time, a slurry wall socketed into the bedrock was built to enable the Twin Towers construction. A geotechnical investigation undertaken for the project suggested that the site geology would be fairly typical for New York City. During construction of the slurry wall, however, an unexpected feature was discovered. In the southeast corner of the site the wall cut through a ledge of schistose bedrock and entered a curved, roughly E-W-trending valley filled with well- rounded glacial boulders and cobbles (Figure 1). The slurry wall had to be excavated deeper in two places to get through the boulders and socket back into solid bedrock. The trend of the valley is unusual because other known glacial valleys across Manhattan trend NW-SE including a nearby valley we reported on earlier (Moss and Merguerian 2006). When it was time to plan reconstruction of the new World Trade Center development, it was clear that extra attention would have to be focused on the southeast quadrant. The unusual geologic conditions present could pose significant difficulties for new design and construction. A more extensive boring program was undertaken by Mueser Rutledge Consulting Engineers, geotechnical engineers for the WTC Memorial and Towers 1, 2, 3 and 4.

  • Four Turning Points in Columbia's History
    COLUMBIA columbia university DIGITAL KNOWLEDGE VENTURES OUR PAST ENGAGED: FOUR TURNING POINTS IN COLUMBIA’S HISTORY April 27, 2004 ROBERT McCAUGHEY COLUMBIA '68: A CHAPTER IN THE HISTORY OF STUDENT POWER Welcome and Introduction Eric Foner: Hello everybody. And welcome to the fourth of the four panels' lectures, "Our Past Engaged: Four Turning Points in Columbia's Recent History." I notice that we have a group of guests here. I'm not sure what they are planning or hoping to do, but as long as they are peaceful and quiet and do not disrupt the proceedings, if they want to sit there it's fine with me. On the other hand, I hope and expect that the discussion will go on in the way that we expect here at the University, in a reasoned and academic manner. I was also asked to announce that the previous lectures in this series, as well as much supporting material about the 250th anniversary of Columbia University, is available on the Columbia 250 Web site, which can be accessed through the Columbia Web site—the home page—which you all probably know about. So I'm Eric Foner from the history department, and I've been asked to be the moderator. I'm very happy to be here tonight. And the first thing that I want to do is to identify Professor Robert McCaughey, who is the speaker tonight, but also to indicate that he has really been the one who has organized these sessions. He's written a most remarkable, wonderful book on the history of Columbia, Stand Columbia, and he has been the person who introduced the previous three speakers.
