It is with very deep sorrow that at 00:21 on Monday morning, 21 June 2010 we have sounded a "last alarm" for our brother FF Brandon M. Schemptompf. Brandon was diagnosed 3 yrs ago with a brain tumor and since then he had received 3 surgeries to remove the tumors. He was informed that a 4th tumor had appeared and surgery wasn’t an option. Brandon was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital on 26 May 2010 and remained there until the time of his death. He fought long and hard during his time there.

Albany- Just three weeks after the disastrous Farm Labor Bill was defeated by the New York State Senate's Committee on Agriculture, virtually the same bill has been reintroduced by New York City legislators, in an attempt to force onerous work regulations onto Upstate New York farmers.

Senator Nozzolio, who adamantly opposed this measure when it was introduced just weeks ago, has indicated that he will continue his opposition to this bill which has been reintroduced without a single meaningful change.

Senator Nozzolio said, “This ill-conceived legislation is a clear example of the New York City and downstate legislators trying to force legislation down the throats of our Upstate farmers without any understanding of the implications or ramifications of the law.”

Representatives of the farming community, including the New York State Farm Bureau, fruit and vegetable growers, and agricultural workers throughout the Finger Lakes region have advised the Senator that this proposal would be the death knell of agriculture in Upstate New York.

The original legislation (S.2247), which was defeated in the New York State Senate Committee on Agriculture, would prevent seasonal employees from working the hours needed to harvest crops and severely limit their financial earnings. It would, at the same time, raise the cost for the grower and result in higher prices for locally grown crops across the Finger Lakes region. The new legislation makes only cosmetic changes to the previous bill that was voted down by the Senate Committee on Agriculture.

“The Farm Labor Bill will create the most repressive labor mandates in the entire country and add significant financial costs to New York State’s more than 35,000 farms. There is no question that many farms will simply go under and the economic fallout from this legislation will be devastating to Upstate New York." said Senator Nozzolio.

“I will continue to oppose this disastrous bill and do everything I can to support agriculture and the farm community," concluded Senator Nozzolio.

Pilgrimport Loop, Touching the Soul of the Erie Canal

Largely still intact or at best still recognizable is the original 1825 Erie Canal prism known as the Pilgrimport Loop. The term “loop” refers to the necessary bypass of drumlins in the Canal's path. The early Erie Canal was the longest because transiting across Upstate New York required threading the canal around such geological features.

During the Mural Mania Dedication of the Lincoln Train Stop Mural, I overheard Wayne Morrison talking about an early 1804 canal near Clyde. Naturally this caught my attention, so I asked Wayne for more details.

In his excellent monograph “The 1804 Canal” he describes this short canal, which was actually an oxbow cut, similar to those found in the Mohawk River valley, dating from the late 1700s.

Following are two illustrations taken from his monograph.
