Volume18,Issue1February2010 YamahaAwardsGRANTof$5,000.00toNYTROofEasternNY/NorthCountryATVAssociation PRESS RELEASE NYTRO of Eastern NY / North Country ATV Association 518-428-5827 Yamaha Awards GRANT of $5,000.00 to NYTRO of Eastern NY / North Country ATV Association Donation supports 2010 ATV Trail & Land Lease, as a part of ongoing effort to encourage safe, responsible riding and sustainable, open riding areas in Saratoga County NY. Greenfield Center, NY – January 28, 2010 – NYTRO of Eastern NY / North Country ATV Association is pleased to announce it has received a Yamaha OHV Access Initiative GRANT of $5,000 to pay for 50% of the Club's 2010 Trail and Land Lease. The GRANT was awarded as part of Ya- maha's OHV Access Initiative promoting safe, responsible riding and open, sustainable riding areas. The GRANT (Guaranteeing Responsible Access to our Nations Trails) will be used to pay 50% of our April 2010 and October 2010 lease payments. “With the downward economy, I was not sure what to expect with our club renewals this year. This grant from Yamaha makes the worry go away. We now will have enough cash to pay our land lease and continue to give the area riders a legal place for them to ride their off-road machines” says Bill Below, Trail Coordinator for NY TRO of Eastern NY / North Country ATV Association. The grant may also free up some club funds to purchase additional trail insurance, so trail expansion off the current lease may be considered. This grant brings the total club funding from Yamaha to $15,000.00 over the last 15 month. NYTRO of Eastern NY / North County ATV leases 1506 acres in northern Saratoga County. The property is open to club members to legally ride their ATV's, Side by Sides (UTV's), and dirt bikes. There are currently 21+ miles of trails that range from novice dirt roads to twisting technical trails. The club's goal is to grow to over 200 members and to start expanding to different riding areas in the surrounding area. NYTRO of Eastern NY / North Country ATV Association is a member of the New York State Off- Highway Recreation Vehicle Association Inc., and the New York State Trail Riders Organization Inc.

If you would like to follow his progress along with companion Ed Fetzer's progress, go to nationalenduro.com. The Sportsmen and Outdoor Recreation Legislative Awareness Day was a good show. It was their first show and we did not have a great representation from our user group but did have a good turn out. There were about 18 display booths representing the sports of hunting, fishing and firearms. There are 93 OHV clubs listed for NY and we were the only ones there. They are already planning for next year’s event; hopefully we will see more OHV uses there. (ATV, Snowmobiles, 4X4 Trucks, UTV ect.) Thank you Joanne for providing all the display flyers for NYTRO and NYSORVA. Thank You to the members that did make time to come out and support us on this important day.

Wife had emergency surgery all went well. “News release Watertown Daily Times” Jefferson County's trail system will have a new coordinator beginning Monday. Patrick M. Crast, Mannsville, has been hired by the Jefferson County Soil and Water Conservation District to take the position, the district confirmed Monday afternoon. "It's a good fit for me," he said. "I'm from here and I'm interested in the trails." Mr. Crast said he grew up in Lacona and he and his wife, Julie A., have lived in Jefferson County for more than two decades. Their property in Mannsville abuts Winona State Forest and county forestland. "I do ride snowmobiles and ATVs on the trails and hunt on the land," he said. The position has been vacant since November, when Scott M. Burto resigned to become a project administrator for Bernier, Carr & Associates, Watertown. He was the first coordinator and began May 1, 2006. Jefferson County contracts with the district for the trail coordinator position. The coordinator is responsible for developing the county's multiuse trail system. The work includes writing grant applications, working on insurance for local clubs and developing coordination among clubs and different types of recreational trail users. Mr. Crast earned a bachelor of science degree in forest resource management from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Syracuse, in 2003. He since has worked with the Nature Conservancy as the Tug Hill field director on the 44,000acre land acquisition of property bought from Hancock Timber Resource Group, which previously was owned by Lyons Falls Pulp & Paper. He then worked for Harden Furniture as a forest manager and for private landowners as a consultant. "I'm excited to work with Jefferson County Soil and Water and to work with all the organizations," Mr. Crast said. "I will try to work on a trail system that works for all, that will bring money into this area and at the same time will protect our natural resources in the area." Major thaw last week followed by lake effect storms with sub degree temperatures so Mother Nature is dishing it out this month. Keep everyone posted as events are in the planning stages. Until we meet on the Trails Ride Safe.
