What’s Been Buried Beneath This New York Lake Is Finally Coming To Light

Somewhere near the bottom of a lake more than 600 feet deep, wooden boats from the canal era still rest in the dark. Nobody parked them there on purpose. The water is so cold and deep that old wood barely breaks down. Cargo boats from the 1800s have stayed surprisingly intact, and modern sonar is finally showing them clearly.

Residents turn out in strong numbers to vote across Chemung County

It wasn't a presidential election year, but that didn't stop Chemung County voters from turning out in large numbers Tuesday, Nov. 3 to cast their ballot in the general election . In addition to contested races for governor, attorney general and other state positions, voters also had to decide who would lead county government for the next four years, with choices for county executive and several legislative seats. Even in smaller communities across the county, turnout was strong, even though off year elections typically don't attract as much voter interest. At the Chemung Fire Department, 291 residents had cast their ballots by noon, which was much heavier than usual, poll workers said. At the Village of Wellsburg/Town of Ashland Municipal Building, the parking lot was full at 2 p.m. and cars were lined up down the street as residents waited their turn to fill out their ballots. Voting at Elmira High School was busier than the last 10 years, election inspectors said. For some residents, exercising their right to vote was a rejection of the status quo. "I want a change," said Jim Page, of Southport. "There's a lot of stuff going on here, in Chemung County and in the

Southern Tier trails are a gem. Summit aims to take them to next level

A day-long Southern Tier Greenways Planning Summit, hosted by Parks & Trails New York, took stock of the greenway trail plans already in motion across the region and tackled what it will take to link them into a connected regional network. The event, held Nov. 5 at the Corning Museum of Glass, focused on the eight-county Southern Tier Regional Economic Development region, which includes Steuben, Schuyler, Chemung, Tompkins, Tioga, Broome, Chenango and Delaware counties. The event paired project updates from local and regional partners with hands-on working sessions on the challenges and opportunities ahead. Kamala Keeley, President of Three Rivers Development Corporation, said trails, waterways and parks aren't amenities on the side; they're part of what makes a region a place people choose to build a life. “When our employers recruit engineers, nurses, and skilled trades, candidates want to know what life looks like outside of work," Keeley said. "Every connected mile of trail strengthens our answer, and it helps us keep the talented people who are already here.” Keeley said the Southern Tier is losing population, particularly residents who are between 25 and 44 years old.
