  • Historic Aspects of the Phelps and Gorham Treaty of July 4-8, 1788
    Edited by DEXTER PERKINS, City Historian and BLAKE MCKELVEY, Assistant City Historian VOL. 1 JANUARY, 1939 No. 1 Historic Aspects of the Phelps and Gorham Treaty of July 4-8, 1788 By BLAKE MCKELVEY The commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Phelps and Gorham treaty with the Indians presents a challenge to the imagination. The years that have passed since that July council on Buffalo Creek have seen great changes come over this beautiful country. We think first of the marvellous material changes that have taken place, for they are obvious on all sides. We might with much profit consider the institu- tional and cultural developments that make those events of 150 years ago appear like the fanciful episodes of some romantic tale. But it is not the contrast or the changes that we wish to com- memorate. That council on Buffalo Creek was a very real, a very significant occasion. The chain of events of which it was a part, and the setting in which it occurred, were vital aspects of the history of Western New York, and influenced developments throughout the country. Therefore, the recollection of this historic occasion merits our close attention, even though we shall have to turn over many of history’s musty pages in the process. A brief study of the documents is enough to reveal that the men who took part in the treaty at Buffalo Creek, and in the far-flung intrigues that followed it, were sons of Adam as we know them today- some crafty and some straightforward, some simple and some endowed with foresight, some mean and selfish, and some honestly concerned ROCHESTER HISTORY, published quarterly by the Rochester Public Library, dis- tributed free at the Library, by mail 25 cents per year.

  • New York Freshwater Fishing Regulations Guide: 2015-16
    NEW YORK Freshwater FISHING2015–16 OFFICIAL REGULATIONS GUIDE VOLUME 7, ISSUE NO. 1, APRIL 2015 Fishing for Muskie www.dec.ny.gov Most regulations are in effect April 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016 MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR New York: A State of Angling Opportunity When it comes to freshwater fishing, no state in the nation can compare to New York. Our Great Lakes consistently deliver outstanding fishing for salmon and steelhead and it doesn’t stop there. In fact, New York is home to four of the Bassmaster’s top 50 bass lakes, drawing anglers from around the globe to come and experience great smallmouth and largemouth bass fishing. The crystal clear lakes and streams of the Adirondack and Catskill parks make New York home to the very best fly fishing east of the Rockies. Add abundant walleye, panfish, trout and trophy muskellunge and northern pike to the mix, and New York is clearly a state of angling opportunity. Fishing is a wonderful way to reconnect with the outdoors. Here in New York, we are working hard to make the sport more accessible and affordable to all. Over the past five years, we have invested more than $6 million, renovating existing boat launches and developing new ones across the state. This is in addition to the 50 new projects begun in 2014 that will make it easier for all outdoors enthusiasts to access the woods and waters of New York. Our 12 DEC fish hatcheries produce 900,000 pounds of fish each year to increase fish populations and expand and improve angling opportunities.

  • LWLA Spring 2016 Newsletter
    Spring Newsletter – April 2016 A Message from the President – Terry Allison Like most of you, I was totally amazed by the mild winter weather we had this year. I can only wonder what the weather will be like as we begin the 2016 lake season! The new lake season brings for you and your LWLA continued vigilance overseeing the good health of our beautiful lakes. It is a united effort. That’s why it’s so important that you support us with your membership. If you haven’t paid your 2016 dues, please do. We cannot accomplish anything without you and your financial support. We continue to face several issues that are never ending. The fight to keep Eurasian Milfoil under control has become common place on our “to-do” list. Along with that, we now face a financial deficit because of the rising cost of chemical treatment. Thanks to the Lakes District Commission, we’ve done well for many years. But now, we face shortfalls unless we change our taxation formula. The Lamoka-Waneta Lakes' Protection District tax was started in 2003. There has never been an increase. To make ends meet, we will be proposing an increase. The increase will be 50% over the current rates so that 80' of frontage or less pays $135/year (was $90), greater than 80' of frontage pays $180/year (was $120), access to the lake pays $90/year (was $60), and non-developable properties such as wetlands pay $27 (was $18). It’s our hope that this will keep pace with our expenses.

  • 2014 Update on the Chloride Hydrogeochemistry in Seneca Lake, New York
    A 2014 UPDATE ON THE CHLORIDE HYDROGEOCHEMISTRY IN SENECA LAKE, NEW YORK. John Halfman Department of Geoscience, Environmental Studies Program, Finger Lakes Institute Hobart & William Smith Colleges Geneva, NY 14456 [email protected] 12/10/2014 Introduction: Seneca Lake is the largest of the 11, elongated, north-south trending, Finger Lakes in central and western New York State (Fig. 1). It has a volume, surface area, watershed area, and maximum depth of 15.5 km3, 175 km2, 1,621 km2 (including Keuka watershed), and 188 m, respectively (Mullins et al., 1996). The lake basins were formed by glacial meltwaters eroding and deepening former stream valleys underneath the retreating Pleistocene Ice Sheet cutting into the Paleozoic sedimentary rocks approximately 10,000 years ago. Each basin was subsequently filled with a thick deposit of glacial tills and a thin veneer of pro-glacial lake clays. Basins not completely filled with sediment (e.g., Tully Valley), were subsequently filled with water and slowly accumulating postglacial muds. Seneca Lake is classified as a Class AA water resource by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC), except for a few locations along the shore (http://www.dec.ny.gov/regs/4592.html, Halfman et al., 2012). It supplies drinking water to approximately 100,000 people in the surrounding communities. Berg (1963) and Schaffner and Oglesby (1978) noted that chloride concentrations were significantly larger in Seneca Lake, and to a lesser extent in Cayuga Lake, than the other Finger Lakes. Wing et al. (1995) argued that the elevated chloride concentrations required an extra source of chloride beyond the measured fluvial fluxes to the lake.

  • Macrobenthic Invertebrate Survey of Waneta and Lamoka Lakes, Schuyler County, September 16, 1996 and May 12, 1997
    248 Macrobenthic invertebrate survey of Waneta and Lamoka Lakes, Schuyler County, September 16, 1996 and May 12, 1997 M.F. Albrigh( W.N. Harman INTRODUCTION Schuyler County encompasses 331 square miles of the Appalachian Plateau in the Finger Lakes region (Curatolo, 1991). The County's economy is largely tourism-based, relying heavily upon its aquatic natural resources. The eutrophic nature of some of these water bodies, including Waneta and Lamoka Lakes (Figure 1), has had detrimental impacts on traditional lake uses. Macrophyte growth and algal blooms have negatively impacted swimming, fishing, boating, and the perceived aesthetic qualities of theses areas. These changes are believed to have lead to a decline in both tourism and in lakeside property values (Curatolo, 1991). In order to address these concerns, Schuyler County initiated an aquatic vegetation control program in 1986 (Curatolo, 1991). This program was to serve as an integrated approach to manage the county's aquatic resources through monitoring, research, macrophyte harvesting, upland treatment, and public education. In 1990, a comprehensive study was undertaken in order to provide baseline information upon which lake management plans would be based (Curatolo, 1991). This work included a characterization ofthe physical qualities ofthe local lakes, surveys oftheir macroinvertebrate benthic populations, a description of macrophyte harvesting activities, a determination of the feasibility of conducting dredging operations in selected areas. It also addressed means of reducing nutrient inputs to these lakes. This document describes a two part benthic survey of Waneta and Lamoka Lakes, conducted 16 September 1996 and May 12 1997. The timing of these collections was to ensure documentation of temporal diversity.

  • Seneca Indian Tribe History
    Seneca Indian Tribe History Seneca ('place of the stone,' the Anglicized form of the Dutch enunciation of the Mohegan rendering of the Iroquoian ethnic appellative Oneida, or, strictly, Oněñiute'ā'kā', and with a different ethnic suffix, (Oněñriute'roñ'non', meaning 'people of the standing or projecting rock or stone') A prominent and influential tribe of the Iroquois (q. v.). When first known they occupied that part of west New York between Seneca lake and Geneva river, having their council fire at Tsonontowan, near Naples, in Ontario county. After the political destruction of the Erie and Neuters, about the middle of the seventeenth century, the Seneca and other Iroquois people carried their settlements westward to Lake Erie and southward along the Alleghany into Pennsylvania. They also received into their tribe a portion of these conquered peoples, by which accessions they became the largest tribe of the confederation and one of the most important. They are now chiefly settled on the Allegany, Cattaraugus, and Tonawanda reservations, N.Y. A portion of them remained under British jurisdiction after the declaration of peace and live on Grand River reservation, Ontario. Various local bands have been known as Buffalo, Tonawanda, and Cornplanter Indians; and the Mingo, formerly in Ohio, have become officially known as Seneca from the large number of that tribe among them. No considerable number of the Seneca ever joined the Catholic Iroquois colonies. In the third quarter of the 16th century the Seneca was the last but one of the Iroquois tribes to give its suffrage in favor of the abolition of murder and war, the suppression of cannibalism, and the establishment of the principles upon which the League of the Iroquois was founded.
