FA SN Y / by John P. Tucker l l Treasurer, FASNY FCU Federal Credit Union I'm often asked how the automobile manufacturer can offer 0%financing.The answer is really quite simple. Financing at 0% increases the manufacturer's profit, moves automobiles,and lures the buyer into paying more cash for the car purchase than necessary. The following example is from Ed in western New York who called us about purchasing do the math and a new Saturn.We showed him how to take the rebate instead of 0% financing and save $1,660. Ed's reply:"That's great!" check with us first so you don't get caught Purchase Price $21,000 = 60 payments at 0% 350.00 Monthly in the hype Less: Rebate -3,500 Total cash payments $21,000.00 Amount Financed 17,500 = 60 payments at 4% 322.33 Monthly At FASNY FCU Total cash payments $19,339.80 Actual Cash Savings $1,660.20 by financing at the Credit Union I know that 0%on the surface looks better than 4.00%,however,do the math and check with us first so you don't get caught in the hype of 0%financing.Car dealers can exploit this situation because 0%gets you in the door,and then the switch takes place to another car,or term,or a much higher rate than the advertised 0%that you went shopping for. In most cases the car buyer would be better served arranging attractive-rate financing at the credit union and taking the cash back applied to the purchase price as opposed to the 0%financing offered by the car dealers.And,if 0%financing is in your best interest, we will tell you that as well. Additionally,in many cases where the customer does not qualify for the advertised 0% financing rate,the actual rate charged is considerably more and not advantageous to the members. If you have been caught in this financing-trap, contact the credit union about refinancing and switch those higher-rate loans to a credit union low-rate loan and start saving money now. Credit union members can get lower interest rates, less expensive loan protection insurance, and more favorable terms at their member-owned financial institution: The FASNY Federal Credit Union.Additionally, charter members get an additional .50% off their first loan with the credit union. 107 Washington Ave.,Albany, NY 12210 1 Phone: 518-434-3728 1 Toll-Free: 866-FASNYCU (327-6928) Audio Response 1-866-FASNYAR (327-6927) 1 Web:www.fasnycu.com 30 wwW.teSnY• The VAMP Rpo%kler the VOLUNTEER August2oo4 vol.75 issue 8 www.fasny.com .,-- TM FASNY Phe r;r c i. i PuUIication of t.e :~ remen' s Associ-_t ic•r. cf tr. 1t f i r% s + w` > 4 4 e 1 . 8r Also Inside Fire Service Achievem Sherwood Boehlert Receives Award Explaining the new NIMSSystem F ' The Ithaca Journal September 4, 1873 TERRIBLE SMASH-UP ON THE I . & A. R.R. A coal train wrecked and a brakeman crushed to death . This morning about 5 :45 AM as a coal train on the I . & A. R. R. consisting of from 50 to 60 loaded cars ; under the charge of Mr . Frank Fuller, conductor, was passing through the " Snyder cut "about one-half mile South of Newfield station, a car near the middle of the train left the track while going around a curve followed by those in the rear to the number of thirty. The wreck was frightful , as one after another jumped upon the one preceding it , literally smashing woodwork and iron into splinters . The loaded cars as they came against the wreck "jumped up " as one of the brakeman expressed it "like bullheads after bait " . There were on the train besides the conductor Wm. Donovan, engineer , Ephraim Leech , John Rainey and Thomas Touchy , brakeman . Rainey was on the rear , Leech on the center , and Touchy on the forward section . As soon as possible the engine was stopped , and a hasty examination of the wreck made . It was found that some forty were wrecked , beginning with the twenty-ninth one counting from the head of the train . Mr . Leech, who was on this portion of the train , was missing. A short search discovered him about the middle of the wreck, lying underneath the debris , between the rails , face down . Not having sufficient help or tools to extricate the body, the engineer with the 28 coal cars came on to Ithaca , procured the necessary assistance and returned to the wreck. On clearing away the wreck, the body, which was taken out by A. Swartwood and Hammond Head , was found to be terribly crushed, being little more than a mass of crushed bone and flesh . The head was the least bruised of any portion of the remains , though the brain was oozing from a small hole in the forehead, evidently made by a rod or bolt . John Rainey said the train was not braking on the summit as Mr . Leech who was on the center section made motions for me not to brake-at least I so understood the signs . We were not going faster than on the former trip I think. The first thing that I noticed wrong was fire flying from one of the journals of a coal car near the center of the train . Then the cars commenced going from the tracks. , pulling one upon another . There were eight or ten cars between Leech and me . The last I saw of him was standing in the center of a car ; then a car jumped upon the top of that, completely crushing it . After that I saw nothing of Leech till we found his lifeless and mangled body underneath the wreck. On looking back of the wreck I found one rail torn from its fastenings and thrown down beside the roadbed, and a car wheel also. I felt of the wheel and found it very hot . Had no means of signaling the engineer or conductor when I discovered the fire from the wheel . The conductor was away forward assisting in breaking the train at the time of the accident. From Rev. L. Harris , who came down from Newfield this morning, we learned that the train, which consisted of 60 loaded cars or "jimmies" got the start of the engine and brakeman in coming down the summit and they were unable to check the frightful speed which on turning a curve forced a car from the rails when those in the rear followed with terrific force , piling up in utter wreck and ruin. This would seem to be the most plausible theory since it would appear to us impossible to cause such a wreck on a comparatively level surface except the cars were moving with terrific velocity. The unfortunate man who met so sudden and horrible fate was well known here having resided here for many years . He was about 27 years of age and at the time of his death was residing on West Buffalo Street . He leaves a young wife and an infant child about a week old . The young mother is in critical condition and the shocking death of her husband will it is feared prove too much for her endurance . The deceased was an industrious and worthy young man and served in the sixty-fourth Regiment , New York Volunteers and afterwards in Company G-Fifteenth New York Cavalry . Mr . Leech is the third man we believe who has been killed on the I . &A.R. R. After recovering the body and setting men to clear away the wreck the engine and car returned with the mutilated body to the depot . From thence it was taken by wagon to the house of Mr . Henry Kenyon , on Meadow Street , to be washed and cared for before breaking the terrible news to Mrs . Leech . Soon after the arrival of the corpse , a person was sent to break the terrible news to Mrs . Leech. Being aware of her illness , every precaution was taken to prevent her receiving the sad tidings suddenly from thoughtless neighbors. The messenger broke the news by saying that an accident had occurred by which Mr . Leech was severely injured. But even this proved too much for this poor women , who fainted away immediately on gathering the import of the words . A lady in the house was then informed of the true state of affairs and at length the worst was known to Mrs . Leech. After recovering somewhat , from the shock, the physicians endeavored to persuade her to suffer the remains to be buried without viewing them, as they much feared the effect upon her feeble condition. But no entreaty or remonstrance availed; she declared that she must see her husband once more . Accordingly when Mr . Carpenter , who has charge of the funeral , had prepared the body and placed it in the coffin, it was taken to the late residence of the unfortunate man and carried to the bedside of the bereaved wife. The scene was indescribably sad and touching, and closed by the fainting of the wife who remained so long unconscious that it was feared the shock had proven fatal . But we learn this afternoon that she has returned to consciousness , though lying in a very precarious condition. God help the young wife and mother to bear this sudden and terrible blow! Such a frightful ordeal comparatively few are called upon to undergo. The funeral takes place from the residence of Mr . Kenyon , this afternoon at 4 o' clock. Rev . J . T. Crippen conducts the services. From the Tompkins County Library files-The Ithaca Journal 1873 archives July 20, 2004 by Lyman E .

W. HEIZEM OFFICIATED, THE FORMER OFFERING PRAYERS, WHILE THE REV.HEIZEM GAVE A BRIEF AND VERY IMPRESSIVE ADDRESS, EXTRACTS FROM WHICH AS FOLLOWS: " IT IS A MIXED EMOTION THAT MOVES US TODAY, SORROW AND SYMPATHY, QUICK AND TENDER, FOR THIS BEREAVED FAMILY, AND FOR ALL THE HOMES SIMILARLY SITUATED. BUT ALONG WITH SORROW THERE IS A SENSE OF ELATION, AS IF WE WERE CELEBRATING A VICTORY. A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LIFE IS CROWNED BY TRIUMPHANT DEATH. HE LIVED THE LIFE OF A DUTIFUL SON, LOVING AND BELOVED IN HIS HOME, RESPECTED AND HONORED BY ALL WHO KNEW HIM. THIS IS MUSIC TO SAY OF ANY MAN, BUT WHEN WE CAN ADD THAT HE MET DEATH BRAVELY, AT HIS POST IN DISCHARGE OF A PERILOUS DUTY, THE RECORD IS COMPLETE." " AND WHAT I SAY OF JOHN C. RUMSEY WE CAN SAY OF EVERY FIREMEN WHO MET DEATH IN THIS SAD CALAMITY. NOR NEED WE PAUSE HERE; ALL THAT I HAVE SAID CAN BE SPOKEN OF EVERY YOUNG MAN WHOSE DEATH WE DEPLORE TODAY. WHAT A TRIUMPH OF YOUNG MANHOOD IT IS OUR PRIVILEGE TO RECORD. " MR. HEIZEM CLOSED BY READING LONGFELLOW'S POEM " IN THE CHAMBER OVER THE GATE." REV. MR.

BROWN CONDUCTED THE CEREMONIES AND AFTER REFERRING IN A PERSONAL MANNER TO THE DECEASED FIREMEN, SAID IN BRIEF: " OUR CITY IS IN MOURNING; THE WHOLE COUNTRY SYMPATHIZES WITH THE DESOLATE HOMES AND BROKEN HEARTS. HOW WEAK IS MAN; YET HOW STRONG. STRONG ENOUGH TO DIE FOR THE SALVATION OF HIS FELLOWMAN AND HIS PROPERTY, SO WEAK THAT HE IS GRIPPED AND DESTROYED IN AN INSTANT BY SOME UNCONTROLLABLE FORCE. LET NO MAN SAY GOD IS THE AUTHOR OF SUCH A DREADFUL CALAMITY. GOD DOES NOT HATE US, HE LOVES US. OUR CALAMITIES AND SORROWS ARE THE RESULTS OF OUR POOR, WEAK, THOUGHTLESS HUMANITY. YESTERDAY A BUILDING IS PRONOUNCED RICH, BEAUTIFUL, AND COMPLETE. TODAY IN THE GRIP OF FIRE, IT IS DISCOVERED THAT ITS OCCUPANTS ARE IN A VERITABLE WRAP, WITH NO WAY OF ESCAPE. GOD IN HIS WISDOM AND IN THE CHILDHOOD OF THE RACE MEN CRIED FOR THAT " RAKE THE DEAD, " THEY SAID, WORK A MIRACLE " WE HAVE CEASED TO MAKE THAT CRY AND MUST CONSOLE OURSELVES AS BEST WE CAN. SOME THINGS HOWEVER CAN BE SAID, " THE GLORY OF LIFE IS NOT THE LENGTH OF YEARS, TO LIVE WELL, TO LIVE LONG AND TO DIE NOBLY-TO DIE THE DEATH OF A HERO-TO DIE FOR OTHERS, IS IMMORALITY. WOULD ANY MOTHER, BLINDED AS SHE MAY BE WITH TEARS, EXCHANGE THE MEMORY OF HER BOY, GIVING THE LAST MOMENT OF HIS UFE AND THE LAST OUNCE OF HIS STRENGTH TO RESCUE HIS FELLOWS FROM DEATH, I ASK, WOULD SHE GIVE THAT MEMORY FOR THE MEMORY OF A METHUSALEH WHO HAD SPENT HIS LIFE IN UNHERIOC INDULGENCE? YES, OUT OF THE GLOOM THAT UES ON ALL OUR HEARTS THERE STREAMS A RAY OF GLORY NOTHING CAN EVER DIM. THESE YOUNG MEN HAVE MADE HUMANITY THEIR DEBTOR. PRAISE AND HONOR BE THEIRS. GOD WANTS US TO REMEMBER ESTY, HIS FAMILY AND FELLOWMEN, IN THE THOUGHT OF THE INFINITE; YOU HAVE MOST TRULY FOUND YOUR LIFE. WE WHO LIVE, OUGHT TO BE BRAVER, BETTER AND STRONGER AS WE CHERISH THE MEMORY OF YOUR UNSELFISH SURRENDER TO DEATH. " THERE WAS NO SIGNING. THE PALLBEARER'S WERE CHARLES B. STANION, C. B.
