FERAL SWINE? GIANT HOGWEED? WILD PARSNIP?


LEARN WHAT’S “INVADING” OUR REGION


 


 


The Lennox Forest Committee, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Delaware County and the Catskill Regional Invasive Species Partnership (CRISP) will be hosting an Invasive Species Awareness Day at Camp Shankitunk, Ford Hall, 2420 Arbor Hill Road, Delhi, NY. (also called ‘Back River Road’ from DeLancey), Delhi, NY, on Saturday, November  17,  2012, from 12:00pm to 3:00pm. The program will focus on feral swine, giant hogweed and the pervasive wild parsnip, Asian longhorn beetle and the emerald ash borer. Participants will learn to identify ash trees and participate in a woods walk to “tag” ash trees at nearby Lennox Memorial Forest.


The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is responsible for the death of tens of millions of ash trees from the mid-west to the Northeast. More than 7.5 billion ash trees in the United States, including 900 million in New York State, remain at risk.  Read more

Micro News Report - 10th Annual Dog Walk and Fair - Heart of the Catskills Humane Society - Delhi NY

By jes.vec
10/15/12 - 9:19 am

A Micro-Report on this year's Dog Walk and Fair, "Long Live Ruff & Roll" at Legion Field in Delhi.
The Heart of the Catskills Humane Society shelters dogs and cats in the western Catskill region.
They care for those who cannot speak or care for themselves. They educate their community, defend the meekest, teach humane treatment for all living creatures, foster a compassion for the weakest, heal the broken trust of the abused, and link the lonely with a four-legged companion. And they will until they educate every person in the community that spaying and neutering animals is the only humane thing to do, that owning a pet is a commitment for the lifetime of the pet, that abuse or neglect is unconscionable and illegal. And they try to match every adoptable pet with a loving home - every day.

To drill or not to drill: New York gas regs delayed again

By Lissa Harris
2/13/13 - 2:16 am

New York State is slated to miss a key Wednesday deadline in the long march toward issuing regulations on hydrofracking.

State health commissioner Nirav Shah announced Tuesday, in a letter to Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) commissioner Joseph Martens, that his agency's ongoing review of the effects of hydrofracking on human health would not be finished by its Wednesday due date. Several large-scale studies, including a progress report from an ongoing EPA study of hydrofracking's effects on drinking water, have been released recently, and Shah told Martens that his agency needed time to incorporate them into the review.

In the letter, Shah urged Martens to put the brakes on fracking regulations until the Department of Health (DOH) finishes its review:

The time to ensure the impacts on public health are properly considered is before a state permits drilling. Other states began serious health reviews only after proceeding with widespread HVHF [high volume hydraulic fracturing].  Read more

The music man: Terry Doyle, 1966 - 2013

Terry Doyle, a Catskills reporter and radio show host who was a widely-known fixture of the local music community, died last week.

Doyle died unexpectedly of complications from a heart attack on Wednesday, February 6 at his parents' house in Middleburgh. He was 46 years old.

Doyle, who seemed destined for broadcasting with a smooth, low-pitched voice and an encyclopedic memory for local music and people, began his radio career in the early 1990s. Doyle started out in local radio at a time when commercial stations in the Catskills could support local news reporters and larger staffs. A decade later, he moved to volunteer community radio, as the industry consolidated and local stations were bought by ever-more-distant corporate owners who pared down staffing and local content.  Read more

On Monday, Pope Benedict XVI shocked the world by announcing that he would resign on February 28. As the New York Times noted in a front-page story, he will be the first Pope to step down since 1415, when Gregory XII resigned to put an end to a schism in the Church.

Catholics everywhere are wondering: Who's next?

There's no clear front-runner at the moment, writes the New York Times:  Read more

Sleet on the roads -- and school closings -- across the Catskills

By Lissa Harris
2/11/13 - 9:45 am

Weather advisories are in effect across the Catskills this morning, as snow and freezing rain make for a slick commute on local roads. The slippery stuff is expected to shift over to rain by noon. 

The National Weather Service in Binghamton has issued a freezing rain advisory this morning for an area that includes Delaware and Sullivan Counties. A winter weather advisory is also in effect across eastern New York, including Greene, Schoharie and Ulster County.

Many local school districts are closed or operating on delays this morning. 

Closed:

Onteora Central School District

New Paltz Central School District

Sullivan West Central School District  Read more

What's a little snow?

This morning, people around the Catskills were asking: Where's Nemo? The wrath of Friday's snowstorm spared us, for the most part. While drivers abandoned their cars on the snowbound Long Island Expressway, a statewide ban on driving kept Massachusetts residents off the roads, and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a downstate weather emergency, the Catskills region got off lightly, with just a few inches of snow in some areas, and no major road accidents.  Read more

Tracking Nemo: Friday's storm could dump a foot or more on the Catskills

A nor'easter in the forecast for Friday and Saturday -- dubbed "Nemo" by the Weather Channel -- promises to bury upstate New York under a blanket of snow, and drop two feet or more across much of New England.

(Our sister website in Boston -- Universal Hub, a local news site run by Watershed Post web architect Adam Gaffin -- has issued a Severe French Toast Alert for the region. For the uninitiated, Universal Hub's French Toast Alert System was "developed in consultation with local and federal emergency officials to help you determine when to panic and rush to the store to buy milk, eggs and bread.")  Read more
