Snowmobile Season is here

The snowmobile trail system is formed through a series of agreements with private landowners and local snowmobile clubs. How the public treats and respects the property of these private landowners has a direct impact on whether or not the private landowner will continue to let their property be used for part of the snowmobile trail system. As part of the agreement, the local snowmobile club maintains the trail system.

Using the railroad right-of-way and tracks are not an option for safe snowmobiling. It is illegal to ride snowmobiles and ATV’s on the railroad’s property. Not only do they not want you there but they will pursue criminal action against those who are caught trespassing.

My Child Wants To Drive…So, now, what do I do?

  •  The first step to obtain a license in New York State is to take a test.  Read the following DMV publication.

  • You have decided that you really want to let you child drive (Application for Driver License).

  • My child and I came to an agreement so he could get his driver license.  I would allow him to get his diver’s license and he guaranteed that he would get good grades.  He is not upholding his end of the bargain.  What can I do? 

It is important for kids to know that driving is a “privilege” and not a “right.” Just because you gave permission for your child to get his or her license, does not mean that you do not have the ability to take it away…at anytime…and, just because you say so.  All you have to do is sign the attached form and deliver it to NY Department of Motor Vehicle’s office.

"Do Not Call Registry" To Expire Soon

In June 2003, the federal government established the National Do Not Call Registry giving people a choice about whether or not to receive telemarketing calls at their homes.

Under the legislation, telephone numbers remain on the list for five years. At the end of five years, numbers are automatically dropped without notifying the registrant.

Beginning June 2008, the original phone numbers will start automatically dropping from the list, allowing telemarketers to once again begin calling, unless you renew you phone’s registration.

To renew your phone’s registration, click Do Not Call Registry.
