NYTRO OHV News New Y o rk Tra il Rid e rs O r g a n i za tion , In c. Volume 15, Issue 3 March 2007 NYSORVA Launches Statewide Club Exposure and Fundraising Project With the New Year come new challenges and a new shot at changing things for the better for ATV/OHM recreationists in New York. And with this new year NYSORVA has set the goal of establishing a full-time staff to work on pro-OHV advocacy and club development. This will require a high level of funding support, and for this NYSORVA turns to the riding community. Your support now is critical to whether ATV and trail bike recreation in NY is to improve — or to simply survive the onslaught of anti-OHV politics. To jump-start this important fundraising and club awareness campaign with something to generate some excitement, NYSORVA has created a 12-month 2007 Calendar featuring images of some of the current riding opportunities that exist in New York State. Calendars are available for a minimum donation of $10.00/each, through the Sponsoring Dealers listed below, or by mail order (S/H included) Click here for Calendar Sample and ordering instructions. NYSORVA salutes these Sponsoring Dealers where the Calendar are carried: • TNT Sports Cycle – Whitesboro • Dutchess Recreation Poughkeepsie • Ed Fredrick and Sons - Little Falls • Teixeira's Polaris - Hyde Park • Fun Unlimited - Gouverneur • Lowville Sport and Farm - Lowville • Sport-Mann Suzuki Honda North Syracuse • North Syracuse Lawn and Snow -Cicero • Chenango Imports - Utica • All Seasons Equipment - Scotia • Dame Motorsports Plattsburgh • Sportline Powers Products - Queensbury • Pioneer Motorsports - Sardinia.

Save Paragon Adventure Park Created by David Frank on January 25th, 2007 at 5:36 pm AST Paragon Adventure Park is the largest private and legal off-road park in the Mid- Atlantic and Northeast region of the country. For many denizens of these areas, Paragon is the only place to legally operate an off-road vehicle on challenging terrain. PAP brings thousands of such enthusiasts into the greater Hazleton area all year long, bringing tourism business to many sectors including lodging, food, entertainment, fuel, and mechanical repair. Recently, the public was made aware of a dispute between the operators of Paragon Adventure Park and the owners of the lease on the land they operate on. Below is an excerpt of a statement from the operators: "Paragon and PCA Corporation (land owner) is in legal dispute over our lease agreement for this property. We have done everything within our powers to honor our agreements with the land holding company, but they are trying to evict us from the premises so they can sell the property. We are still in business and will remain in business as long as possible and we are fighting this with every measure available." We, the undersigned, strongly petition the PCA Corporation to abort all attempts to enact an early termination to PAPs lease terms and stop all attempts to sell the land upon which Paragon exists on. Furthermore, we petition the Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce to step in on behalf of the many businesses that stand to lose significant amounts of business if PAP is forced to close.
