  • Welcome Back! News from the Makerspace
    Unsubscribe View in your browser Welcome Back! Friends of TVCOG, Welcome to July at TVCOG and a happy Independence Day to all! As NYS reaches vaccination benchmarks, and state restrictions ease, we find ourselves able to lift some of our safety measures. We are excited to inform you that as of today, July 1, 2021, face masks are no longer required for fully vaccinated individuals while in our facility. We look forward to seeing your smiling faces again! We are also excited to announce that we are increasing our in-person programming options and public events. This month marks the return of drop-in tours for Troy Night Out, and the beginning of class and program preparation for our fall trimester. We look forward to returning to a robust program schedule for both members and non-members alike. -- Cheryl Kennedy, Executive Director News from the Makerspace In the Spotlight... Tower: An Art Installation by Sari Nordman We first featured a brief sneak peek at this art installation in our April newsletter, with a behind the scenes look at Sari making frame prototypes in our welding zone. The finished installation, entitled Tower, is now on display from July 1 to Aug 7 at King Manor Museum, 150-03 Jamaica Avenue, Jamaica, NY. Tower is a multi-media, interdisciplinary piece which utilizes sculpture, media projection and community participation to reflect on climate change. The piece was inspired by the biblical story of The Tower of Babel, a tale of greed and the value of cultural differences. Sari will be discussing the project during a live talk at Hunter’s Point Environmental Center on July 10th at 2pm.

  • David N. Deutsch Is the Principal of His Self -Named Investment Banking Firm in Manhattan
    Interview with David Deutsch MONDAY, 14 AUGUST 2006 David N. Deutsch is the principal of his self -named investment banking firm in Manhattan. Raised in the Capital Region, Mr Deutsch makes a point of returning home each summer as part of his Saratoga Weekend conference retreat with members of his extended business and personal networks. This year’s invitation-only edition is slated for Thursday thru Saturday of this week, complete with panel discussions, networking sessions and social gatherings at the races and polo matches in the Spa City. While spending some time together recently at the Saratoga races, Mr. Deutsch and Tech Valley Times principal Robert Millis discussed a wide variety of subjects in anticipation of the Saratoga Weekend. TVT: Take us back to the beginning -- your local roots. DD: Like you, I went to Saratoga High School – go Blue Streaks! I graduated in the Top 10, along with your cousin Tammy and the soon-to-be famous David Hyde Pierce (note: the actor who played the part of Niles on the Frasier television series) in 1977. TVT: Where’d you go to college? DD: I went to Middlebury College, originally pre-med. I was a physics - turned - economics major. TVT: Then what? DD: Upon graduation, I went to work for Lehman Brothers in institutional sales & trading in NYC at the beginning of the ‘80s bull market. It was exactly like the story in Liar’s Poker --- Michael Lewis was in an identical program at Salomon Brothers at the same time. I began as a corporate bond trader; Lehman’s bond desk was/is legendary.

Rare and endangered plants at Gateway National Recreation Area: a case for protection of urban natural areas Richard Stalter Michael D. Byer John T. Tanacredi Abstract The diversity of native plant species in urban environments is usually overlooked when biodiversity levels are considered. Inventories of native plants reveal many to be rare species surviving the harsh conditions encountered in urban ecosystems. Knowledge of their existence and an inventory of their distribution will assist in maintaining these populations.

    305 West Grand Avenue, Suite 300 Montvale, New Jersey 07645 Phone 201.930.9890 Fax 201.930.9805 www.anchorqea.com MEMORANDUM To: Caroline Kwan and Nica Klaber Date: October 1, 2012 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency – Region 2 From: David Haury and Matt Cavas Anchor QEA, LLC Project: 120782-01.01 Re: Phase 1 Remedial Investigation Work Plan Addendum: Reference Area Memorandum No. 2 This memorandum presents the final decision regarding the candidate reference area sampling originally proposed in Section 3 of the Phase 1 Remedial Investigation Work Plan Addendum (WPA; Anchor QEA 2012a) and the subsequent Phase 1Remedial Investigation Work Plan Addendum: Reference Area Memorandum (Reference Area Memorandum; Anchor QEA 2012b). CANDIDATE REFERENCE AREAS SELECTED FOR RECONNAISSANCE SAMPLING The areas to be sampled, shown on Figure 1, are generally located throughout Jamaica Bay and along portions of Lower and Upper East River. The 14 candidate reference areas shown were selected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) on September 27, 2012 (Kwan 2012) after review of proposed candidate reference areas. These 14 areas were selected to provide multiple candidate areas within four general categories—industrial with combined sewer overflows (CSOs), industrial with no or minimal CSO input, non-industrial with CSOs, and non-industrial with no or minimal CSO input. Table 1 lists the 14 candidate reference areas and the general category they were placed in. The target locations within each candidate reference area are shown on Figures 2 through 15 and are listed in Table 2 of this memorandum. The sampling activities to be completed, which are summarized in this memorandum, will be performed in a manner consistent with the methods outlined in the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study Work Plan (RI/FS Work Plan; AECOM 2011) and described in greater detail in the Field Sampling and Analysis Plan (FSAP; Anchor QEA 2011a).

  • Staten Island
    Staten Island Waterfront History By Carlotta DeFillo taten Island has 35 miles of waterfront. It is bordered by Newark Bay and the Kill van Kull on the north, Upper New York Bay, the Narrows, S Lower New York Bay and the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Raritan Bay on the south and the Arthur Kill or Staten Island Sound on the west. Several smaller islands sit offshore. Shooters Island near Mariners Harbor was home to Standard Shipbuilding Corp. and Prall’s Island is a bird sanctuary. Off South Beach lie the man-made Hoffman and Swinburne Islands. These two islands were built for use as the quarantine station in 1872, and abandoned in 1933. During World War II they were used for military training, only to be aban- doned again at war’s end. The earliest inhabitants of Staten Island were Algonkian-speaking Native Americans who set up camps along the shores in the areas of Tottenville, Prince’s Bay, Great Kills, Arrochar, Stapleton, West New Brighton, Mariners Harbor and Fresh Kills. They harvested berries, fi sh, oysters and clams, and even ran the Island’s earliest ferries. The fi rst Europeans set foot on Staten Island in Tompkinsville at the Watering Place, a spring of fresh water near the shore, before 1623. The earliest public ferry was in operation in Stapleton by 1708, and by the 1770s ten ferry lines connected Staten Island to New Jersey, Manhattan and Brooklyn. The best-known Island ferryman was Cornelius Vanderbilt, who started an empire from his single sailboat ferry, starting in 1810.

    What is SPLASH!? Are you a camp counselor who needs ideas for waterfront field trips? A teacher planning next term’s marine biology syllabus? A parent who wants your child to experience being on a boat this summer? Then SPLASH! is for you! Inside you will find free and low-cost waterfront education resources in the New York City area that can be used by camp leaders, school teachers, group leaders, and families alike to connect youth to the waters that surround us. The organizations in this document all focus in some way on the waterways that flow around, in, and through our urban landscape. SPLASH! lists organizations by average cost of programming per student and by location. In accordance with our mission, we have also highlighted organizations that offer paddling or other programs that take participants on the water. There is also additional detailed information for each organization, a brief description of the programs offered and the organization’s contact information. We have included experiences that cost close to $10 or less per participant. Water-related programs offer rich lessons in social studies, history, science, and math. The water itself can foster a deep appreciation for the irreplaceable natural resource that is our harbor. Our hope is that every child in the metropolitan area will eventually have the knowledge and tools to become invested in the care, improvement, and love of our waterfront and harbor; this guide attempts to further that goal. Enjoy your summer on the waterfront!
