New York Central ACMU 4503

A train of brand new ACMUs In Ossining, New York. These cars must of been out of this world when introduced to the New York Central's commuters in 1950. They had air conditioning and gave a smooth quiet ride compared to the 1906-1929 pre war multiple units. June 1950

"NEW EXPERIMENT UPON CRIMINALS," Kingston Whig-Standard. June 21, 1933. Page 1. --- Does Sensitization of Nervous System Produce Criminal Conditions? ---- OSSINING, N.Y., June 21. - An experiment to discover whether "sensitization" of the nervous system to dust, medical drugs or even the wrong kinds of food plays any part in producing psychopathic conditions that lead to crime, is being made with fifty inmates of Sing Sing prison.

The experimenter is Dr. V. C. Branham, deputy commissioner of correction and secretary of the new "section on forensic phychiatry and conduct disorders" of the American Psychiatric Association. He seeks to discover whether such influences bear any relationship to "instability" of behavior.

Dr. Branham relies on skin tests to show whether the individual is affected by certain kinds of dust, pollen, drugs, or foods to the extent that he may become "unstable." In this state he is restless, and in some cases may commit impulsive acts, Dr. Branham has found.

Although dam removals have been happening since 1912, the vast majority have occurred since the mid-2010s, and they have picked up steam since the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which provided funding for such projects. To date, 806 Northeastern dams have come down, with hundreds more in the pipeline. Across the country, 2023 was a watershed year, with a total of 80 dam removals. Says Andrew Fisk, Northeast regional director of the nonprofit American Rivers, “The increasing intensity and frequency of storm events, and the dramatically reduced sizes of our migratory fish populations, are accelerating our efforts.”

Dam removals in the Northeast don’t generate the same media attention as massive takedowns on West Coast rivers, like the Klamath or the Elwha. That’s because most of these structures are comparatively miniscule, built in the 19th century to form ponds and to power grist, textile, paper, saw, and other types of mills as the region developed into an industrial powerhouse.

But as mills became defunct, their dams remained. They may be small to humans, but to the fish that can’t get past them “they’re just as big as a Klamath River dam,” says Maddie Feaster, habitat restoration project manager for the environmental organization Riverkeeper, based in Ossining, New York. From Maryland and Pennsylvania up to Maine, there are 31,213 inventoried dams, more than 4,000 of which sit within the 13,400-square-mile Hudson River watershed alone. For generations they’ve degraded habitat and altered downstream hydrology and sediment flows, creating warm, stagnant, low-oxygen pools that trigger algal blooms and favor invasive species. The dams inhibit fish passage, too, which is why the biologists at the mouth of the Saw Kill transported their glass eels past the first of three Saw Kill dams after counting them...

Jeremy Dietrich, an aquatic ecologist at the New York State Water Resources Institute, monitors dam sites both pre- and post-removal. Environments upstream of an intact dam, he explains, “are dominated by midges, aquatic worms, small crustaceans, organisms you typically might find in a pond.” In 2017 and 2018 assessments of recent Hudson River dam removals, some of which also included riverbank restorations to further enhance habitat for native species, he found improved water quality and more populous communities of beetles, mayflies, and caddisflies, which are “more sensitive to environmental perturbation, and thus used as bioindicators,” he says. “You have this big polarity of ecological conditions, because the barrier has severed the natural connectivity of the system. [After removal], we generally see streams recover to a point where we didn’t even know there was a dam there.”

Pictured: Quassaick Creek flows freely after the removal of the Strooks Felt Dam, Newburgh, New York.

American Rivers estimates that 85 percent of U.S. dams are unnecessary at best and pose risks to public safety at worst, should they collapse and flood downstream communities. The nonprofit has been involved with roughly 1,000 removals across the country, 38 of them since 2018. This effort was boosted by $800 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. But states will likely need to contribute more of their own funding should the Trump administration claw back unspent money, and organizations involved in dam removal are now scrambling to assess the potential impact to their work.

Enthusiasm for such projects is on the upswing among some dam owners — whether states, municipalities, or private landholders. Pennsylvania alone has taken out more than 390 dams since 1912 — 107 of them between 2015 and 2023 — none higher than 16 feet high. “Individual property owners [say] I own a dam, and my insurance company is telling me I have a liability,” says Fisk. Dams in disrepair may release toxic sediments that potentially threaten both human health and wildlife, and low-head dams, over which water flows continuously, churn up recirculating currents that trap and drown 50 people a year in the U.S.

Numerous studies show that dam removals improve aquatic fish passage, water quality, watershed resilience, and habitat for organisms up the food chain, from insects to otters and eagles. But removals aren’t straightforward. Federal grants, from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or the Fish and Wildlife Service, favor projects that benefit federally listed species and many river miles. But even the smallest, simplest projects range in cost from $100,000 to $3 million. To qualify for a grant, be it federal or state, an application “has to score well,” says Scott Cuppett, who leads the watershed team at the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s Hudson River Estuary Program, which collaborates with nonprofits like Riverkeeper to connect dam owners to technical assistance and money...

All this can be overwhelming for dam owners, which is why stakeholders hope additional research will help loosen up some of the requirements. In 2020, Yellen released a study in which he simulated the removal of the 1,702 dams in the lower Hudson watershed, attempting to determine how much sediment might be released if they came down. He found that “the vast majority of dams don’t really trap much sediment,” he says. That’s good news, since it means sediment released into the Hudson will neither permanently worsen water quality nor build up in places that would smother or otherwise harm underwater vegetation. And it shows that “you would not need to invest a huge amount of time or effort into a [costly] sediment management plan,” Yellen says. It’s “a day’s worth of excavator work to remove some concrete and rock, instead of months of trucking away sand and fill.” ...

On a sunny winter afternoon, Feaster, of Riverkeeper, stands in thick mud beside Quassaick Creek in Newburgh, New York. The Strooks Felt Dam, the first of seven municipally owned dams on the lower reaches of this 18-mile tributary, was demolished with state money in 2020. The second dam, called Holden, is slated to come down in late 2025. Feaster is showing a visitor the third, the Walsh Road Dam, whose removal has yet to be funded. “This was built into a floodplain,” she says, “and when it rains the dam overflows to flood a housing complex just around a bend in the creek.” ...

On the Quassaick, improvements are evident since the Strooks dam came out. American eel and juvenile blue crabs have already moved in. In fact, fish returns can sometimes be observed within minutes of opening a passageway. Says Schmidt, “We’ve had dammed rivers where you’ve been removing the project and when the last piece comes out a fish immediately storms past it.”

There is palpable impatience among environmentalists and dam owners to get even more removals going in the Northeast. To that end, collaborators are working to streamline the process. The Fish and Wildlife Service, for example, has formed an interagency fish passage task force with other federal agencies, including NOAA and FEMA, that have their own interests in dam removals. American Rivers is working with regional partners to develop priority lists of dams whose removals would provide the greatest environmental and safety benefits and open up the most river miles to the most important species. “We’re not going to remove all dams,” [Note: mostly for reasons dealing with invasive species management, etc.] says Schmidt. “But we can be really thoughtful and impactful with the ones that we do choose to remove.”

Mataya Allen grew up in Ossining, New York with her mom Shannon, her dad Ray, her older brother Ray ll(RJ), and her younger brother Walker. Her dad was always on the road for basketball so she and her brothers stayed home so they could get an education and not move around that much. With that being said, they still went to a lot of his weekend games and went away with him for championships.

She was a beast in basketball, Ranked No.2 of her class, and committed to LSU where her best friend Jaylen was committing too. There, she met Angel who became like a sister to her.

She is more than grateful that she was offered a spot on the team but she was really hoping that Geno—a good friend of her dads and his basketball mentor growing up—would offer her a spot on his roster, not to mention, one of her best friends Aubrey Griffin from home was on the team. But no. Instead he offered it to Paige Bueckers.

Mataya and Paige aren't very fond of one another and they haven't been since they were 14, and the fact that Geno picked Paige over her, just made her hate Paige even more.

The girls had been battling for that #1 spot since 8th grade but Mataya suffered an injury her sophomore year of High School, and in the end, Paige got it.

Their feud could've been resolved the first time they played each other and LSU won, but they both hold grudges so that's definitely what didn't happen. Mataya would always do her best against UConn and Geno, and Paige would always do her best against LSU.

Everyone knew that the girls didn't get along- and the media took that and ran with it. In every interview, their rivalry would get brought up and they were lowkey tired of it.

The girls have been civil once, and that was the U19 USA team in 2019. They decided—for that summer—that they shouldn't make the team uncomfortable with having to pick sides or anything. The way they played together was definitely something special.

They got a little close but they wouldn't admit it. They shared a hotel room and that ended up with endless late-night conversations and decisions, but that "friendship" even if you can call it that ended as soon as they went back home.

Mataya was very close with the girls on UConn, she had known Aubrey since she started high school and they became best friends, she met Azzi on the USA team, she and Nika met at the LSU vs UConn game freshman year and they went out together after and became friends through the years and she and Caroline did a Nike commercial together and got very close. She was very familiar with the rest but those four girls are significant to her.

**

Mataya loves LSU so much and that's her home but recently, she felt like she needed to get out. She and Jaylen had talked about it and he said that he felt the same way.

So, Jaylen decided at the start of the season that he was using his year of eligibility and transferring. As soon as he entered the transfer portal, he got a call from Dan Hurley and he accepted the offer instantly.

Since he already knew he was leaving and Angel was going to the WNBA, the decision was made before she made it herself. She had to leave as well

Little did she know that decision was one of the best in her life.
