I was listening to NPR and they had a program on people who had put together their own 'alternative' museum tour of a NYC museum. A tour of Auburn or even Cayuga County would be an easy project even for a high school class. With the free software available today especially for Mac's it would be easy. Or even geological tours - Tour of Union Springs homes -Tour of Frontenac Historical -Tour of Ward O'Hara Museum These audio and even visual files could be uploaded to many sites for download. bill

Photo by: TPL Putnam County, NY, May 4, 2005 -* The Putnam County Open Space Alliance (PCOSA) today lauded the Putnam County Legislature for passing historic legislation, allowing Putnam County voters to decide this November whether to create a $20 million fund for the protection of the water quality of rivers, lakes, and streams; water sources that serve county residents; air quality; and natural land and open space in the county. The fund will permit the county to acquire land so as to protect from development these resources that are so important to the county's special quality of life. "The voters of this county deserve the opportunity to decide whether to protect our water, air, and land. I am pleased that my colleagues in the legislature have joined me to pass this important legislation," said County Legislator Vinny Tamagna. Tamagna called upon County Executive Robert Bondi to sign the legislation and guarantee its place on the November ballot. "We are ecstatic that the county is taking the initiative to protect county landscapes and our drinking water resources for future generations," said Judith Terlizzi, co-chair of PCOSA and executive director of the Putnam County Land Trust. "This is an historic day and we applaud the county legislature." PCOSA and other bond supporters are buoyed by voter surveys commissioned last year indicating that 58% of Putnam voters would support a $20 million open space protection fund. When provided with additional information about the ballot measure, including that the fund would be used to buy land for drinking water and natural area protection, support for the fund rose to 67 percent. The poll was commissioned by the Trust for Public Land and the Open Space Institute, nonprofit land conservation organizations. Voters polled cited growth and development as the most important issue facing Putnam County, receiving a greater number of responses than other typical top tier local issues including taxes, schools and education, and the economy. "I am excited that Putnam County, where I grew up, is now the first county in New York outside Long Island to put an open space fund before its voters," said Erik Kulleseid, New York State Program Director for the Trust for Public Land. "We congratulate the Putnam legislature and County Executive Bondi for pursuing this fund. Putnam now joins a national trend of governments letting the voters choose to protect open space. Nationwide, 75 percent of open space measures were approved in 2004, including seven of nine measures in the state of New York." The average cost to taxpayers will be approximately $45 a year, per household, to create a $20 million fund. "I'm convinced that voters will support this measure. There is a strong conservation ethic in Putnam County and a great deal of enthusiasm about keeping the momentum going while the clock's still ticking," said Joe Martens, president of the Open Space Institute. "Recent census numbers drive the point home---Putnam County is the state's fourth fastest growing county," added Martens. "We applaud our elected officials for moving forward to protect the land that makes Putnam County, the county where the country begins," said Ann Fanizzi, Chair, Putnam County Coalition to Preserve Open Space. "This fund will give Putnam County an important tool as it grapples with tremendous growth pressures. Communities across America are voting to create local funding to protect their fast-dwindling natural and undeveloped areas," said Frederic C. Rich, Putnam County resident and board chair of Scenic Hudson. "Scenic Hudson supports this initiative and hopes that others in the Hudson Valley will follow Putnam County's lead." The Putnam County Open Space Alliance is comprised of county, regional and state organizations and individuals simply committed to fostering open space in Putnam County. Members include the Hudson Highlands Land Trust, the Putnam County Land Trust, the Putnam Smart Growth Alliance, the Highlands Coalition, PlanPutnam, Putnam Valley Residents' Coalition, Friends of the Great Swamp, Putnam County Coalition to Preserve Open Space, Concerned Residents of Southeast, Concerned Residents of Carmel-Mahopac, the Westchester Land Trust, the Croton Watershed Clean Water Coalition, The Chuckie Goodnight Foundation For The Environment, The Trust for Public Land, the Open Space Institute, and Scenic Hudson. The Trust for Public Land is a national nonprofit land conservation organization that conserves land for people to enjoy as parks, gardens, and natural areas, ensuring livable communities for generations to come. Since 1972, TPL has helped protect more than two million acres of land in 46 states, including more than 75,000 acres in New York. The mission of the Open Space Institute is to protect scenic, natural and historic landscapes to ensure public enjoyment, conserve habitats and sustain community character. OSI achieves its goals through land acquisition, conservation easements, special loan programs, and creative partnerships. The Open Space Institute (www.osiny.org) has protected more than 90,000 acres in New York State.

Hello all, I found this obituary of my great grandfather today and in reading his obituary I have found out that he was the Mayor of Milford, Iroquois Co., IL for 6 years and died during his term. He was also the Assistant State Veterinary of Illinois. I just wanted to share this with anyone that might be interested. I have also posted it on the Iroquois County site at Illinois Trails. http://iltrails.org/iroquois/Obits-P.htm Thanks for listening. Carrol (Paul) Mick carrolmick@yahoo.com Iroquois and Ford counties host for Illinois Trails Dr. S. L. Paul Died Tuesday of Paralysis Milford's Mayor, Dr. S.L. Paul, was stricken with paralysis while working in his hospital here Monday morning and died at 7:10 p.m. Tuesday evening, January 13th, 1925, without having regained consciousness. Dr. Paul had been in poor health for a number of years but had been about town and attending to his business each day and while his death from this cause had been anticipated by some of his friends and acquaintances. Dr. Paul was a veterinary surgeon and had practiced this profession here for many years and in this way his acquaintance was extended to a wide circle. He had also acted as Mayor of the Village of Milford the past six years, which position he was holding at the time of his death. He was first elected to this office six yeard ago and was re-elected in 1921 and again re-elected in 1923, which fact attests to the esteem with which he was regarded by the citizens, the voters, of his home town. Dr. S. Lindsley Paul is survived by his widow, Ella (Nee) Mayfield, one son, James Lindsey Paul, a sister, Mrs. James H. Handley, of Buffalo, and one brother, Frank Fox Paul, of Chicago, Illinois. The funeral services were held in the Milford M.E. Church this Thursday, January 15th, at two o'clock p.m. Rev. Kasiska, pastor of the church officiating. Dr. Paul was widely known and the church was filled with sorrowing friends from miles around the currounding country, Chicago, and eastern cities. Dr. Paul was born in Weedsport, New York, October 22nd, 1866. He removed with his parents to Chicago in 1892, where he lived until he moved to Milford, Illinois, in 1906. He married Miss Sarah Ella Mayfield, of Milford, Illinois, on November 11th, 1896. He graduated from the McKillip Veterinary College at Chicago, Illinois in 1908. He has practiced his professsion continuously since his residence in Milford. For the past ten years he has held the office of Assistant State Veterinary. Dr. Paul was Village Trustee from May 1915, until May 1919, when he was elected Village President, which office he held at the time of his death. He was in public service in Milford almost 15 years. Because of failing health he tried to retire from public office some time ago, but the Village Board was unanimous in prevailing on him to continue in office. During his long term of office he enjoyed the confidence and friendship of all the people, and the remarkable growth and progress of Milford during his administration as Village President attested to his enthusiastic interest, splendid ability and untiring labor. He was a man of rare tenderness of heart; generous, outspoken, loyal, staunch and conscientious in his dealings. He was always grateful of self, considerate of others and a devoted husband ____. During the long years ____ic service he was always at ____ of duty. His hosts of friends will deeply mourn his going and the whole community will keenly feel the loss of a citizen to whom it is deeply indebted. Interment was made in beautiful Maple Grove Cemetery.
