What If the Biggest Solar Storm on Record Happened Today?
The flares were so powerful that "people in the northeastern U.S. could read newspaper print just from the light of the aurora," Daniel Baker, of the University of Colorado's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, said at a geophysics meeting last December.
In addition, the geomagnetic disturbances were strong enough that U.S. telegraph operators reported sparks leaping from their equipment—some bad enough to set fires, said Ed Cliver, a space physicist at the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory in Bedford, Massachusetts.
In 1859, such reports were mostly curiosities. But if something similar happened today, the world's high-tech infrastructure could grind to a halt.
Spotlight News – Land conservancy group eyes former Bender farm for $1.2M purchase
The farm — taking up around 198 acres and owned by 306 Maple Road, LLC — is now directly on Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy’s (MHLC) radar because it recently launched a campaign to raise $1.2 million to purchase the property and preserve it forever as it faces the risk of development. This campaign has been asking the community for generous monetary donations since this past June and it needs to receive enough funds by spring 2020.

How a Failed Trump Golf Course Became a Dilapidated State Park | Time
When Donald Trump bought 436 acres in upstate New York two decades ago, he envisioned adding two new championship golf courses to his collection.
He bought the wet, overgrown, tree-tangled parcels that sit miles off a state parkway beginning in 1998 for less than the current price of a two-bedroom condo in Trump Tower.
But local leaders nixed the golf-course plans and his subsequent efforts to sell it to a homebuilding company faltered. So he gave it away.
Indian Lake hosts moose festivities – Sun Community News & Printing
September is rolling up and that means peak Fall foliage.
But for the town of Indian Lake, September does not only bring hopes of tourism through the fiery colors swathed upon the mountains.
During the weekend of Sept. 28 and 29, the town hopes to bring travelers and moose lovers to possibly glimpse a view of the once elusive animal at the Great Adirondack Moose Festival.
The half-ton mammal is making a come-back in the Adirondacks. According to New York State Department of Conservation, in a study during January 2019, there were 83 groups of one or more moose found living in New York in an aerial survey.
When The Great Adirondack Moose Festival or GAMF kicks off in the last week of September, chances of spotting one, during the fall mating season when the mammal travels widely in search of a mate, make the festival that much more enticing.
In the center of the Adirondack Park, throughout the town of Indian Lake, moose themed programs will abound during the weekend of Sept. 28-29. The event is New York’s first-ever moose themed festival, offering visitors of all ages a unique Adirondack experience.
