Since opening last month, Salt Point Brewing, Lansing’s latest addition to the food and drink scene, has quickly become a popular spot for community gathering. While this new local spot is enveloped by the community, it is the Lansing area that led to its creation in the first place. The brewery has four owners, two couples. Growing up, Alexandra Karnow’s best friend was Sarah Hesse. “When we got significant others, they met – my husband Chris met Camilo 10 or 12 years ago – and they immediately hit it off on a friendship level,” Hesse said.

  • Contribution of Lake-Effect Snow to the Catskill Mountains Snowpack
    74th EASTERN SNOW CONFERENCE Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA 2017 Contribution of Lake-Effect Snow to the Catskill Mountains Snowpack DOROTHY K. HALL,1,2 NICOLO E. DIGIROLAMO,3 ALLAN FREI4 ABSTRACT Meltwater from snow that falls in the Catskill Mountains in southern New York contributes to reservoirs that supply drinking water to approximately nine million people in New York City. Using the NOAA National Ice Center’s Interactive Multisensor Snow and Ice Mapping System (IMS) 4km snow maps, we have identified at least 32 lake-effect (LE) storms emanating from Lake Erie and/or Lake Ontario that deposited snow in the Catskill/Delaware Watershed in the Catskill Mountains of southern New York State between 2004 and 2017. This represents a large underestimate of the contribution of LE snow to the Catskills snowpack because many of the LE snowstorms are not visible in the IMS snow maps when they travel over snow-covered terrain. Most of the LE snowstorms that we identified originate from Lake Ontario but quite a few originate from both Erie and Ontario, and a few from Lake Erie alone. Using satellite, meteorological and reanalysis data we identify conditions that contributed to LE snowfall in the Catskills. Clear skies following some of the storms permitted measurement of the extent of snow cover in the watershed using multiple satellite sensors. IMS maps tend to overestimate the extent of snow compared to MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Landsat- derived snow-cover extent maps. Using this combination of satellite and meteorological data, we can begin to quantify the important contribution of LE snow to the Catskills Mountain snowpack.

  • Annual Report 2016
    Thank you to everyone who helped the Albany Institute of History & Art to commemorate a significant milestone---the museum’s 225th anniversary. We celebrated the year in style with exhibitions ranging from “Masterworks” and Alexander Hamilton to Rock & Roll Icons, special programming, a new café, art-making activities for people of all ages, a new program for people with Alzheimer’s, community partnerships, and special events such as Hudson Valley Hops, Mummy Birthday, and the Gala. Throughout the year, the museum offered $2.25 admission on Saturdays as a birthday gift to our patrons. We also created a new timeline highlighting the people, events, and objects that shaped the 225 year history of New York State’s oldest museum, which can be viewed on our website. In 2016 we welcomed 33,970 people to the museum, an increase of almost 9,000 people over 2015. The museum’s digital audience has expanded as virtual access to our collections, online exhibitions, and school curriculum materials has increased. Our membership increased by 11%, bucking the national trend. Participation in our art-making activities such as Art for All increased by 93% and 49% for Tute for Tots after revamping program offering and times. Contributions to the museum’s operations and special projects rose dramatically. Technology advancements included Wi-Fi in the galleries and public spaces and a new Smart Board and document camera for the classroom. If you visit our page on the Goggle Cultural Institute, you can take a virtual tour of our galleries. With funding from the New York State Council on the Arts, we installed LED lighting in the galleries, resulting in an annual savings of $9,000.

Who were the people to first inhabit the northern and southern continents? Why did they come? How did they get here? How long was their migration? A possible narrative suggests that the movement of ancient people to the New World began when they crossed a land bridge that once existed between what we today call Siberia and Alaska, a bridge that later dis- appeared because of glacial melting and is now covered by water and known as the Bering Strait. It is also possible that these early people were motivated by wanderlust or the need for a new source of food. Perhaps they were searching for a better climate, and maybe they came for religious reasons, to escape persecution or find a more congenial area to practice their partic u lar beliefs.

As the vital link among farmers, conservationists and policy-makers, we’re focused on ensuring the availability of the land that provides fresh food, a healthy environment and lasting rural landscapes. Since our founding in 1980 by a group of farmers and citizens concerned about the rapid loss of farmland to development, we’ve helped to save more than 3 million acres of farmland and led the way for the adoption of conservation practices on millions more. Our work in New York focuses on three areas: • Protecting farmland from poorly planned development, • Promoting environmental stewardship on farms, and • Strengthening the economic viability of agriculture. Through our research, educational programs and advocacy, AFT helps farmers, public officials and the public strengthen the future for farming in New York.
