A Statement from the New York State Snowmobile Association

PINE BUSH, NY – There are still a few weeks left before snowmobilers will have to put an end to the 2013 snowmobile season. The New York State Snowmobile Association (NYSSA) would like to send midseason reminders to riders to emphasize the importance of snowmobile trail safety and the importance of staying on the trail as snowmobile traffic is expected to increase with the mid-winter break for most school districts throughout the state.

 “We want to remind snowmobilers to continue to take extra caution as we approach the middle of the snowmobile season,” said Dominic Jacangelo, Executive Director of NYSSA.  With snow in this weekend's forecast. the group expects to see heavy snowmobile traffic on trails, and wants to reinforce its main safety tips for an enjoyable riding experience.

Northtown Auto Bureau will be open Saturday 9am-12pm

Erie County, NY – In an effort to quickly distribute the newly released “Opt-Out” form, which enables individual pistol permit holders to protect their information from ever being made public, Erie County Clerk Jacobs will make the form available on Saturday, February 16th from 9:00 am-12:00 pm at the Northtown Auto Bureau, located in the Northtown Plaza at 3095 Sheridan Drive, Amherst, NY.

“I want to ensure that all pistol permit holders have several options in which to obtain this form and as quickly as possible, said Clerk Jacobs. “The law provides 60-days for permit holders to exercise this “opt-out” provision before someone can make a request for pistol records. So we are encouraging pistol permit holders who want assurance that their records will be kept private to obtain and complete the form immediately.”
