A look back at the year in sports in Lewisboro
A review of some of the noteworthy sports stories from 2011 in Lewisboro:
Nicole Morales amazes at U.S. AmateurIn August, Nicole Morales, a 15-year-old from South Salem, made it to match play, and then all the way to the final 16, of the 2011 U.S. Women’s Amateur golf championship.
“I was really pleased with the way I played and I couldn’t have asked for a better week,” said Morales, who is now a sophomore at John Jay High School.
Morales has established herself as one of the country’s top young golfers in recent years. In 2010, she made history by winning the Metropolitan Golf Association Women’s Public Links Championship as a 14-year-old — the youngest winner ever in the event’s history.
Last summer, Morales captured the 55th New York Junior Girls Amateur Championships, winning the 36-hole tournament by 14 strokes.
Last spring, as a freshman on the John Jay golf team, Morales finished seventh at the Section 1 championships and became the second John Jay golfer to ever qualify for the state championships. The only girl to make the field, she was 30th at the state tourney.
Truck-Mounted Snow Blowers | dump truck driving jobs
Truck cab, including the electric key start, choke, throttle, discharge chute rotation and deflection, and hydraulic snow blower lift. Imagine the power of having all these controls in the cab with you as you heroically clear all the snow from your neighborhood roads. They are also great for small road contracting businesses.
Three alternatives to Truck mounted snowplows: If you live in a more densely populated area, you don’t want to be launching tons of road snow onto your neighbors’ walkways, driveways, vehicles, and pets. It’s usually better to get a plow, which merely pushes the snow off the road.
Tractor-mounted snow blowers: If you live in a rural area, a tractor-mounted unit is best. Chances are you have a lot of area to clear, so you’ll need the snow moving power of a tractor.
ATV-mounted snow blowers: The Snow Hogg (not to be confused with Snow Hog, a maker of snow tires) is a big snow blower that attaches to your all-terrain vehicle, making for one hungry-looking snow chomper. Smaller than a truck -mounted unit, but still more powerful than most push units, the Snow Hogg can clear a path 42″ wide and almost two feet deep, with a chute rotation range of 210. The Snow Hogg weighs almost 400 pounds, but thanks to a built-in suspension and traction system, the machine only puts about 10 to 15 pounds of stress on your ATV frame.
Cedar Rapids Crews Have New Snow Clearing Duties
CEDAR RAPIDS- Street crews in Cedar Rapids getting ready to battle the first real snowfall of winter expected Friday have some added chores this season.
In addition to plowing hundreds of miles of city streets, the same workers must also shovel sidewalks in front of city-owned residential properties. Those properties in the flood zone of 2008, that have completed the buyout process, now number more than 200. Public Works managers expect that number to swell to 400 plus by the end of winter.
The city expects homeowners to clear a path in front of their homes when it snows. And the same rules apply if it’s city-owned property.
In recent weeks, streets crews have begun marking the site of former homes now owned by the city. They’re erecting metal poles tipped with reflective pink paint. Craig Hanson, Cedar Rapids Public Works Maintenance Manager, said the idea of marking the new city-owned property is to insure crews know where they have to clear sidewalks as well as plow streets.
Hanson said the city has sidewalk plows that can be used in some areas. But some sidewalks are too narrow and workers will have to use the same tool as many homeowners—shovels and snow blowers.
“Our crews have been increased by two people via the flood fund. But other than that, it’s an intense effort we’ll be targeting this winter and it’ll be a new challenge,” Hanson said.
Hanson said the city has closed entire stretches of sidewalk in some of the hardest hit areas of the flood zone. Those areas marked with “sidewalk closed” signs won’t get cleared of snow until the sidewalk in front of every other city-owned lot is cleared first.
As for city streets, Hanson said the city has a plentiful supply of salt and sand entering the winter season. He is changing one policy when it comes to melting snow and ice on the roads. About ten years ago, Cedar Rapids crews routinely added calcium chloride to salt to enable it to keep melting snow at lower temperatures. That tactic was abandoned for awhile due to budget constraints.
