Weedsport Speedway

Weedsport Speedway, formerly known as Cayuga County Fair Speedway, is a 3/8 mile oval dirt racetrack located on the Cayuga County Fairgrounds in Weedsport, New York. Auto racing In the early 1950s Stanley Dudzinski carved a one-third mile oval into a berry patch to practice driving his race car. He and his wife Irene further developed the facility and in 1955 the gates were opened for the first competitive event. Glenn Donnelly (originally with Ken Ermiger) purchased the race track in 1970, increasing the clay oval to 3/8 mile, and creating the flagship for the Super DIRTcar Series. In 2004, Donnelly sold the race track to the World Racing Group for $4.3 million. Since 2014, the speedway has been owned by Al Heinke, partner in Heinke Baldwin Racing, and previously a partner with Skip Barber at Lime Rock Park. Concerts In the early-1980s the venue started hosting major concerts by some of the biggest bands in rock music, including Aerosmith, Santana, Stevie Nicks, The Beach Boys, Peter Frampton, Neil Young, Guns N' Roses, Kiss, Metallica, Bryan Adams, Ozzy Osbourne, Van Halen, Heart, Alice Cooper, Foreigner, Mötley Crüe, and Def Leppard, REO Speedwagon. For concerts the track has attracted crowds as large as 12,000. References
St. John's Episcopal Church (Clifton Springs, New York)

St. John's Episcopal Church, in Clifton Springs, New York, is an Episcopal church founded in 1807. The parish is a member of the Episcopal Diocese of Rochester. History The official founding date is 1807, when a piece of land was given to the Episcopal community in Clifton Springs by Mr. John Shekel. A small, wooden structure was built in 1808, which became the First Episcopal Church of Clifton Springs. The building served as the worship home for the Episcopal community until around 1820, when, due to dwindling numbers, the congregation sold the building to the local Methodist community. The Episcopal community gathered to worship in one another's homes until 1841, when the group grew too large, and a new building project was begun. The Second Episcopal Church of Clifton Springs was only in use for around 40 years, though, because in 1967, the current rector suggested a new edifice be built. In 1879, the cornerstone was laid for the current St. John's structure. The building, made of Medina sandstone (from Medina, New York), was completed in 1883 and consecrated in 1884. In 2018, St. John's was inducted into the Medina Sandstone Hall of Fame, which judges structures "based on their age, longevity, beauty and architectural uniqueness." In 1967, St. John’s in Clifton Springs, St. John's in Phelps, and Trinity Mission in Shortsville were merged into one parish – St. John’s in Clifton Springs. Today, the church serves the villages of Clifton Springs, Phelps, Shortsville, and Manchester.

Glenmere Lake

Glenmere Lake is a colonial mill pond or reservoir located in Orange County, New York, United States. It is New York State's largest habitat of the Northern cricket frog (Acris crepitans), listed as endangered by in New York State Department of Environmental Conservation records The lake is part of the greater Orange County-owned Glenmere Preserve, one of the largest wild areas in Orange County. Glenmere Lake is the most biologically diverse natural feature of Orange County, with hardwood swamp, shale ridgelines, wide marsh, mossy bogs, vernal pools and an open-water reservoir. Such biodiversity, present in New York's fastest-growing county, underscores the critical nature of Glenmere's unique habitat. The Glenmere Reservoir lands are home to bald eagles, six species of hawk and six of owl. Endangered plant and animal species inhabit the Glenmere lands- in fact, New York State's largest and virtually last population of endangered northern cricket frogs inhabits the entire parcel. Glenmere straddles Orange County's two largest Hudson River watershed basins: The Wallkill, on its western side, and the Moodna, on its east, as represented by its westernmost tributary, the Black Meadow Creek) The Glenmere Reservoir lands include a "watershed ambiguous zone" where small brooks split off into either watershed. The lake and associated county lands comprise sections of the towns and villages of Warwick, Chester, Sugar Loaf and Florida. The 1912 Glenmere mansion still overlooks the reservoir. Studies of the lake and its associated periphery are performed by the educational non-profit Glenmere Conservation Coalition. After a number of years of warnings associated with the condition of and repairs to the Glenmere Lake dam, a penalty of $350,000 was assessed against the town of Chester and village of Florida by state regulators.

The hospital is the largest employer in the region with over 2,800 employees. In 2019, the hospital affiliated with Albany Medical Center. History The hospital was incorporated in 1897 and established at the residence of Solomon A. Parks at 48 Park Street. It came to be known as Parks Hospital. The hospital had two wards (one male, one female) consisting of 15 beds total initially. Patient treatment began in 1900. Glens Falls Hospital School of Nursing was established a few years later, although it closed in the 1930s as a result of the Great Depression. The hospital's name was officially changed to Glens Falls Hospital in 1909. A donation of $5,000 was left to the hospital in 1933. The hospital has undergone several expansion projects, notably: a west wing was added in 1950; an east wing in 1962; a west tower in 1975; the Pruyn Pavilion in 1993; and the Northwest Tower in 2005. In 2010, Glens Falls Hospital received nearly $2 million in extra Medicare money as part of a $400 million nationwide adjustment for those hospitals with lower costs.

Gompers Houses

Samuel Gompers Houses, also known as Gompers Houses, is a public housing development built and maintained by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) on the Lower East Side of Manhattan on Pitt Street between Delancey and Stanton Streets. Gompers Houses is composed of two 20-story buildings with 474 apartments that house approximately 1,116 people. It is built on a 3.7 acres (15,000 m2) site bordered by Stanton Street to the north, Columbia Street to the east, Delancey Street to the south, and Pitt Street to the west. History The development is named after Samuel Gompers (1850–1924), an Englishman who immigrated to the United States in 1863, where he was a cigar maker, labor unionist, and workers' rights activist, who founded an organization that would eventually become the American Federation of Labor. In his early life, Gompers lived three blocks from the site. NYCHA broke ground for the development in 1961 and the project was completed on April 30, 1964. The development was designed by Lama, Proskauer, & Prober. The relatively high cost of land for the Gompers Houses development, $13 per square foot, forced the New York City Housing Authority to build twenty story towers rather than the preferred six story buildings. As with many of the housing projects built on the Lower East Side in the 1950s and 1960s, Gompers Houses is built in the "tower in the park" style. By the mid-1970s, the development and the Lower East Side were becoming increasingly dangerous, so much so that in 1974 Mayor Abraham Beame had a publicized walking tour to persuade residents the area was safe from crime. Minerva Montez is the Resident Association President for Gompers Houses. The development is currently consolidated with Rafael Hernandez Houses, Lower East Side I Infill, Seward Park Extension, and Max Meltzer Tower. However, in late 2022 to 2023, some reports have come out that Hernandez Houses, Seward Park Extension, and Max Meltzer Tower are in the process of being turned over to private companies to manage these properties in a Public-private partnership with NYCHA in order to obtain the capital funding to revitalize and modernize these properties in which they will be switched over to the RAD PACT Section 8 management. Since Gompers Houses is still under complete control of NYCHA with no official plans to be converted into the RAD PACT Section 8 program, more than likely Gompers Houses will no longer have any management oversight of Hernandez Houses, Seward Park Extension, and Max Meltzer Tower once they are converted into the new RAD PACT Section 8 management.

Cementerio Goodleburg

El cementerio de Goodleburg es un cementerio ubicado en South Wales, aldea situada entre los municipios de Aurora y Wales, en el condado de Erie (estado de Nueva York). Se trata de un antiguo terreno del pueblo, inactivo, cuyo uso se ha interrumpido. Muchos de los colonos originales de Gales y sus alrededores están enterrados aquí.​ Historia Estuvo activo entre los años 1811 y 1927. El cementerio permaneció relativamente tranquilo hasta finales de la década de 1990, cuando se difundieron historias de fantasmas y apariciones espantosas. Varias organizaciones de investigación paranormal, con la intención de captar las actividades paranormales en Goodleberg, hicieron desfilar a carros de investigadores de los condados vecinos, con la intención de captar pruebas de lo paranormal. Hasta la fecha, ha habido una muerte, de la que se culpó en parte al fundador de un equipo de investigación paranormal del oeste de Nueva York conocido como Paranormal and Ghost Society. A las 23:15 horas del 21 de junio de 2003, un miembro de ese grupo fue atropellado por un coche que circulaba en sentido contrario. La causa fue oficialmente catalogada como relacionada con la conducción bajo los efectos del alcohol, pero en parte se achacó a que el grupo estaba en la carretera a esa hora de la noche,​ que tiene muchas curvas ciegas conocidas. Folclore En los últimos años, ha sido un lugar de profanación frecuente.​ El autor de temas paranormales Mason Winfield ha escrito varias veces sobre este cementerio y su supuesta actividad, pero también ha expresado su arrepentimiento al escribir algo sobre él debido al aumento del vandalismo desde entonces.​ Sucesos Hay muchas historias sobre lo que la gente ha visto en el cementerio. Algunos de los mitos incluyen la "Dama de Blanco", una mujer que falleció y que aún vaga por la zona, siendo posible observarla en la carretera y zonas adyacentes al cementerio. Otro mito es que aparecerá una persona de apariencia normal de unos 20 años. Hará lo que sea necesario para que abandones las zonas circundantes. Se ha descrito que tiene el pelo rizado y lleva camuflaje. Si se le toca, se dice que desaparecerá al instante. Es el espíritu de un joven Albert Speaker que intenta proteger lo que es suyo. Otros dos sucesos comunes son los fuertes vientos seguidos del llanto de un bebé junto al estanque trasero y la aparición de orbes de colores en las fotos tomadas por la noche.​ Referencias Enlaces externos
