Noes: None. SUPERVISOR FULLER: We have a recommendation from Lt. Vanderbilt. Chairman of the Traffic Safety Committee, for a request to lower speed limit on a portion of Krumkill Road. MEMORANDUM I TO: Members of the Town Board FROM: Lt. Richard L. Vanderbilt SUBJECT: Request for lower speed limit on a portion of Krumkill Road DATE: June 1, 1994 For several months, the Traffic Safety Committee has been studying ways to increase traffic safety in the areas of Schoolhouse. Krumkill. Russell and Blessing Roads. Several different approaches are presently being studied. One that we would like to request is that the Town Board reduce the speed limit on the Albany County portion of Krumkill Road to 30 miles per hour. This portion is presently a 40 mile per hour area between 30 mile per hour areas on each side. This would provide a uniform speed limit of 30 miles per hour from Schoolhouse to Krumkill and to Blessing Road. Presently this short section of Krumkill Road with a 40 mile per hour limit causes motorists to enter the adjoining the 30 mile per hour intersections at greater speeds. We feel this will serve to reduce accidents at 3 intersections of concern. I Is there anyone here who would like to speak in favor? There were none. Is there anyone here who would like to speak in opposition? There were none.

    VOL. 47 WINTER No. 1 1985 PUBLISHED QUARTERLY BY HUDSON-MOHAWK BIRD CLUB. INC. CHRISTMAS COUNTS IN THIS ISSUE: PAGES Catskill-Coxsackie Green County 12 - 13 Schenectady 9 - 12 Southern Rensselaer 1. 3-4 Troy 5 - 8 S. RENSSELAER CGUNT ADDS WILSON'S WARBLER AND MERLIN TO HMBC COMPOSITE LIST Michael Kuhrt The nineteenth annual Southern Rensselaer County Christmas Bird Count was held Saturday, December 22, 1984. After the "typical" showing in the 1983 count, this one had everyone scratching their heads. After a phenomenal autumn that included shirt sleeve weather within one week of Thanksgiving, winter was finally making a feeble entry. The count day dawned gray, with a wet snow cover from the prior evening. Almost all bodies of water in the area were free of ice. The temperature climbed steadily to an afternoon high of 45°F. The temperature and snow cover, combined with light winds, gave rise to periods of dense fogginess. Experienced observers noted that the wild food crop was probably heavier than at any time in the history of the count. This fact, coupled with the gentle weather conditions, gave rise to probably the biggest single day in count history. A near-record 60 species were observed, including 5 first-time sightings. The excitement began early as Paul Connor's group logged the rarest find of the day only 10 minutes and 3 blocks from Paul's house in Schodack. They observed a Wilson's warbler in the bright adult male plumage. The bird moved from perch to perch in a suburban neighborhood and was seen from several perspectives and at distances as close as 50 feet.

Dtmn Donald W. Fisher Philip C. Hewitt Robert G. laFleur Shepard W. LO'Wl11an Lawrence V. Rickard Host RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE Troy, N. Y. May 12-13, 1961 PREFACE Geologic studies in Rensselaer and Columbia Counties began in the infancy of American Geology. It is especially noteworthy that our host, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, played a vital role in the development of this then new science. The founding of the Rensselaer School (1824) by Stephen Van Rensselaer, Patroon of Albany, was a distinct departure from the conven­ tional classical institute of higher learning of that day. This school of science (the idea of an engineering school came later) claimed the unique innovation of having science taught by personal contact in laboratory, field, and by classroom functions in which students lectured while professors 1istenedl That geology was highly regarded is evidenced by the Rensselaer circular of 1827 which reads, " •••• it is now required that each student take two short mineralogical tours to collect minerals for his own use, for the purpose of improving himself in the science of mineralogy and geology." Into this promising environment, as Director of the Rensselaer School, came Amos Eaton, who had studied science under Benjamin Silliman and law under Alexander Hamilton. In 1820~22, Van Rensselaer sponsored the first commissioned geological survey in this country, that of Albany and Rensselaer Counties.

Water Resources The human body is about 70 % water, and water is essential to the processes of life. Even though most of the Earth’s surface is covered with water, only a fraction of one percent is fit for human consumption. One focus of this program is to provide youth with information that will enable them to make informed decisions about regional resources. There are dozens of reasons why we should be concerned with water quality in the Catskills, not just for the sake of New York City’s water supply. The water that the city drinks is the water upstate residents drink. Just like the 1.2 billion gallons of water
