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.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please contact
Trooper Wittner at 853-4415 ext. 4911 or
