title: NWA Missouri Heavyweight Championship

abstract: The NWA Missouri Heavyweight Championship was a singles championship in the National Wrestling Alliance's St. Louis Wrestling Club and Central States Wrestling promotions in the 1970s and 1980s. It was considered a "stepping stone" to the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. A version of the Missouri Championship has been documented to exist in 1899, 1921, 1933 to 1934, 1937, 1947, 1950, and 1954 to 1955, but it was only in 1972 that a serious championship was established. Prior to the creation of the NWA the championship was not recognized outside of the region and used by regional promoters, it is even possible that competing Missouri Heavyweight Championships existed. The championship was abandoned in 1986, as the Central States promotion was being consolidated under Jim Crockett Promotions in order to counter the World Wrestling Federation's national expansion.

It was considered a "stepping stone" to the NWA World Heavyweight Championship (although only Race, Terry Funk and Kerry Von Erich made it; Gene Kiniski, Dory Funk, Jr.,Jack Brisco and Ric Flair were already former World Champions upon winning the Missouri title). A version of the Missouri Championship has been documented to exist in 1899, 1921, 1933 to 1934, 1937, 1947, 1950, and 1954 to 1955, but it was only in 1972 that a serious championship was established.

title: NWA Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Championship

abstract: The NWA Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Championship was a tag team title defended in the National Wrestling Alliance's NWA Mid-Atlantic territory. The championship was originally created in the summer of 1968 and was originally named the NWA Atlantic Coast Tag Team Championship. During this time, the title was the primary tag team championship that was defended in Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling owned by Jim Crockett, Sr. and later by his son, Jim Crockett, Jr. While the current Mid-Atlantic promotion operates primarily out of the same area as the Crockett promotion, they aren't the same, as Jim Crockett, Jr. sold his territory to Ted Turner in November 1988. This promotion would then be renamed World Championship Wrestling. The title was relegated to serve as the secondary tag team championship in Crockett's territory after Mid-Atlantic created its own territorial version of the NWA World Tag Team Championship in January 1975 and was used until sometime in 1985 when it was abandoned. In 2000, the title was revived for the Mid-Atlantic territory.

# Nachusa Grasslands

The **Nachusa Grasslands** is a 3,800 acres (1,500 ha) restored tallgrass prairie near Franklin Grove in Lee County and Ogle County, Illinois. It is managed by The Nature Conservancy staff and volunteers.

## History

Most of northern Illinois was tallgrass prairie at the time of statehood in 1818. In the ensuing century, the vast majority of this prairie was plowed up for arable farmland. A Nature Conservancy planning process, aimed at building a restored tallgrass prairie ecosystem in Illinois, commenced in 1985; the first major land acquisition of 400 acres (160 ha) occurred in 1986. By 2022, the total current acreage had grown to over 4,100 acres (1,700 ha).

In February 2020, a fire destroyed the site's pole barn along with much of the equipment used to care for the preserve. The replacement plans include expansion to allow more space for convening volunteers, partners, scientists and community leaders.

## Bison reintroduction

The Nachusa Grasslands planning process called for running up to 100 American bison (*Bison bison*, also commonly known as "buffalo") on approximately 1,500 acres (610 ha) of the preserve. Thirty bison from the Wind Cave bison herd were released in October 2014. This was the first conservation herd in Illinois. The bison were added to the approximately 700 species logged at the prairie. In April 2015, free-range bison calves were born, adding to hope that the Nachusa herd could be managed so as to be self-sustaining. As of July 2015, 14 calves have been born at Nachusa. By 2023, the summer herd size was 120-130 and the winter herd size was 90-100.

## Visitor center

The preserve's visitor center includes nearby trailheads, a pavilion with interpretive signage, self-composting restrooms, and a potable water supply. In 2021 it won an architecture award from the American Society of Landscape Architects. Attributes included fulfilling its mission without overpowering the surrounding landscape and that "the facility draws visitors into an interpretive rich shelter framing distant views telling the story of the vast prairie beyond"

title: New Vision (electoral alliance)

abstract:
New Vision was an electoral alliance of independent candidates formed to contest the 2011 Irish general election. The formation of the group was announced at a meeting in Dublin organised by the economist David McWilliams on 31 January 2011. Eamonn Blaney, son of former Independent Fianna Fáil Teachta Dála and minister Neil Blaney, stated that he was launching "a movement called New Vision" and that the group would run candidates in the upcoming general election. He stated that New Vision already had the allegiance of "several strong Independents who will unite around four principles". The group held a press launch on 9 February 2011 where they revealed the 19 candidates that had agreed to run under the New Vision label. Each candidate had committed to vote en bloc on four issues, but were free to campaign on other national and local issues as they wished. As well as Eamonn Blaney, prominent candidates were his brother MacDara, and Luke 'Ming' Flanagan. The four core issues which each New Vision candidate agreed to support were described by the group as:
  - The separation of bank debt and sovereign debt
  - A viable strategy to create jobs
  - The overhaul of politics and the public service
  - A better deal for the country's natural resources. The number of independent candidates in the New Vision alliance subsequently rose to 20. A different political party called Fís Nua, which means "New Vision" in Irish, also ran candidates in the 2011 general election. Eamonn Blaney stated that he was "unaware of the existence" of Fís Nua when he registered the business and domain names for New Vision.

# Nevill Drury

**Nevill Drury** (1 October 1947 – 15 October 2013) was an English-born Australian editor and publisher, as well as the author of over 40 books on subjects ranging from shamanism and western magical traditions to art, music, and anthropology. His books have been published in 26 countries and in 19 languages.

## Early life

Born in Hastings, England in 1947, Drury moved to Australia at the age of nine. He attended Sydney University in the late 1960s and later earned his Master of Arts (honours) degree in anthropology from Macquarie University. He received his PhD from the School of Humanities and Social Research, University of Newcastle in 2008 for a dissertation on the visionary art and magical beliefs of Rosaleen Norton.

## Career

In 1970, Drury was an English teacher at West Wyalong High School in the Riverina District of NSW.  In 1976, he began working in the Australian book industry. He was a former managing editor for the holistic journal *Nature and Health*. A former managing editor for Harper and Row and Doubleday in Australia, he helped found the specialist visual arts publishing company Craftsman House in 1981, which became Australia's leading art book imprint.

Drury worked full-time as publishing director of this company from 1989 to January 2000. He also co-edited *Australian Painting Now*, which was published in the UK and US by Thames & Hudson. He was briefly the manager of Adyar Bookshop in Sydney (2008-2012).

### Writing and lecturing

Drury was a prolific author of books on shamanism, spirituality, and different forms of magical practice. His many books include the first serious overview of occultism in Australia: *Other Temples, Other Gods* (co-written with Gregory Tillet). Others include *Don Juan, Mescalito and Modern Magic*, *The Occult Experience* (the book of an award-winning documentary he co-produced and narrated released in 1985 featuring, among others, Margot Adler, Selena Fox, Alex Sanders, Janet and Stewart Farrar, and H. R. Giger), and *Pan's Daughter*: the first biography of Australian artist and witch Rosaleen Norton.

He authored several books on Australian art, including the three-volume *Images* series. Artist Matthew Tobin (Creative Director, Urban Arts Projects ) described Drury as

> ...one of those most responsible for Aboriginal art's growth (he discovered Rover Thomas, Clifford Possum and Emily Kame Kngwarreye)

His books have been translated into 19 languages. Since 1980 he was a speaker and workshop facilitator on subjects such as magical visualization and shamanic drumming. He was both an interviewer and a guest on several programs on Australian television, including the ABC Television shows *The Ark* and *Compass*, as a spokesperson for the New Spirituality. He has also lectured at the University of Queensland, Australia.

## Awards

* Bronze Award for documentary *The Occult Experience* at the 1985 International Film and Television Festival of New York

# New York University Institute of Fine Arts

The **Institute of Fine Arts** (**IFA**) is a graduate school and research center of New York University dedicated to the study of the history of art, archaeology, and the conservation and technology of works of art. It offers Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Art History and Archeology, the Advanced Certificate in Conservation of Works of Art, and the Certificate in Curatorial Studies (issued jointly with the Metropolitan Museum of Art).

Since the school awarded its first PhD in 1933, more than 2000 degrees have been conferred and a high proportion of its alumni hold international leadership roles as professors, curators, museum directors, archaeologists, conservators, critics, and institutional administrators. The IFA's doctoral program was ranked among the best in the United States by the National Research Council’s 2011 study. In June 2024, it was announced that Joan Kee would be the IFA's new director. "Kee specializes in art and the law, comparative diaspora studies, and art and digital communications."

## History

Art history became a dedicated field of study at New York University in 1922, when the young scholar-architect Fiske Kimball was appointed the Morse Professor of the Literature of Arts and Design. In 1932, NYU's graduate program in art history moved to the Upper East Side in order to teach in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 1936, the Graduate Department moved to the second floor of the Carlyle Hotel on Madison Avenue.

Under the leadership of its chairman, Walter William Spencer Cook, the program was renamed the Institute of Fine Arts in 1937. The institute was strengthened greatly by refugee professors from the German and Austrian institutions that had given birth to the modern discipline of art history. Foundational art historians such as Erwin Panofsky, Walter Friedlaender, Karl Leo Heinrich Lehmann, Julius Held, and Richard Krautheimer set the institute on its course of rigorous, creative, and pluralistic scholarship and strong worldwide connections.

In 1958, under the leadership of G. Lauder Greenway, the chairman of the advisory committee (and former director), and Craig Smyth, the institute's director, Nanaline Duke and her daughter Doris Duke presented the institute with the James B. Duke House at 1 East 78th Street. By the end of the year, Robert Venturi had completed the remodeling of the house for the institute's use. Also in 1958, the Curatorial Studies program was established. Two years later, the IFA became the first graduate program in the United States to offer an advanced degree in conservation and founded the Conservation Center, which in 1983 moved to the Stephen Chan House Conservation Center across the street from the Duke House.

Louise Bourgeois, who was married to Goldwater during the time when he taught at the IFA, donated all six copies of *The Institute* (2002, silver) to the IFA in 2005. One of the copies now resides at the IFA's first floor lunch room, also known as "The Marble Room." The sculpture is a silver-plated scale model of Duke House, with removable roof and tiny rooms inside.

## Research

The Institute of Fine Arts offers four degree programs. It confers a M.A. and a Ph.D. in the History of Art and Archaeology as well as two certificate programs in Curatorial Studies and the Conservation of Works of Art. The IFA's Ph.D. program is normally six years and requires 18 courses, a qualifying paper, two foreign language certifications, major and minor field examinations, and a dissertation. The M.A. program is two years full-time or three years part-time. It requires 10 courses, one foreign language certification, and a master's thesis. The Advanced Certificate in Conservation is taken jointly with the M.A. program and adds two years of study, including a one-year internship in a conservation lab. The Certificate in Curatorial Studies is taken jointly with the Ph.D. program and it requires a residency at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. IFA students have access to special academic programs such as archaeological excavations, travel grants, global research locations, and IFA-sponsored conferences and symposia.

### Faculty

There are 26 faculty members who teach at the institute and Conservation Center, with areas of study ranging from early Egyptian to modern and contemporary American art. Some of the most notable faculty members that have taught or are currently teaching at the institute include: Harry Bober, Jonathan Brown, Thomas E. Crow, Walter Friedlander, Robert Goldwater, Horst W. Janson, Richard Krautheimer, Linda Nochlin, David O'Connor, Richard Offner, Erwin Panofsky, John Pope-Hennessy, Robert Rosenblum, Patricia Rubin, Meyer Shapiro, Leo Steinberg, Robert Storr and Kirk Varnedoe.

## Conservation Center

The Conservation Center of the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University has the oldest graduate degree-granting conservation program in the world. The Conservation Center of the Institute of Fine Arts confers two degrees: a Master's in the History of Art and Archaeology and the Advanced Certificate in the Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works. Students undertake laboratory work, seminars, research projects, and gain intensive experience through fieldwork and their fourth-year Internship.

Conservators usually specialize in a particular material or type of object, such as paintings, sculpture, works of art on paper, books and manuscripts, textiles, architecture, archaeological material, or ethnographic objects, or in a field of study, such as preventive care, art transport, installation and storage, or the history of artists’ materials and methods. Collaboration with related fields, such as conservation science, computer science and digital imaging, museum curatorship, exhibition design, or archival studies, is increasingly critical to the successful practice of conservation and enriches the profession accordingly. Students gain expertise in conservation of cultural artifacts and artworks from a variety of New York City's public and private museums, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, the Whitney Museum, the Guggenheim Museum, the American Museum of Natural History, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and nearby galleries, private collections, auction houses, historic properties, and private conservation studios.

## Excavations

The institute undertakes excavations at Aphrodisias, Turkey; the Sanctuary of the Gods in Samothrace; at Abydos, Egypt; and Selinunte, Italy.

### Abydos, Egypt

In collaboration with Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania, the IFA is engaged in a long-term archeological study of the history of the significant site of Abydos in southern Egypt. Abydos is known as the burial place of Egypt's first kings, and later became the primary cult place of the god Osiris, ruler of the Land of the Dead. The excavations aim to build a comprehensive understanding of the ancient activities at the site, how its operations and meaning evolved over time, and its relation to the broader context of Egyptian history and culture.

### Samothrace, Greece

Since 1938, the IFA has worked in the Sanctuary of the Gods in Samothrace, Greece, uncovering the home of its famous mystery cult with a series of great marble buildings, dedicated by Philip II and his successors, and seminal in the formation of Hellenistic architecture. At this stage, the project's emphasis is on study and preparation of publications, as well as conservation.

### Selinunte, Italy

Selinunte was famous throughout the Classical world for the richness of its farmland and monumental temples. It enjoyed a prosperous existence from the second half of the seventeenth century BCE through the middle of the third century BCE, and its sanctuaries, temples, fortifications, and houses are well preserved. In 2007, the IFA began its excavation on the Acropolis of Selinunte in western Sicily, focusing on the area of the main urban sanctuary of the ancient Greek colony. The excavations document the social history, as well as the architectural and visual culture of an ancient city in unusually fine detail. Fieldwork to date has already provided important evidence concerning the history of Selinunte prior to the arrival of the Greek colonists, as well as significant finds of pottery and sculpture originally dedicated as votive offerings in the sanctuary area.

### Aphrodisias, Turkey

Aphrodisias is one of the most important archeological sites of the Greek and Roman periods in Turkey. The city was famous in antiquity for its cult of Aphrodite and for its marble sculptures. It enjoyed a long, prosperous existence from the second century BCE through the sixth century CE, and its buildings, marble sculpture, and public inscriptions are remarkably well preserved. The current excavation focuses on the recording and conservation of previously excavated monuments, establishing permanent systems for documentation and conservation, new targeted excavations, and scientific research and publication.

The institute publishes the IFA Archaeology Journal, which documents progress of the excavations as well as the involvement of the IFA faculty and students in international archeological research.

## Contemporary art at the institute

The Institute of Fine Arts has been influential in the study of contemporary and modern art historical scholarship. Robert Goldwater’s 1937 dissertation “Primitivism and Modern Art” made an important contribution to the study of primitivism's role in Western art of the early twentieth-century. Later, as a member of the faculty, Goldwater was joined by Robert Rosenblum, who cultivated close relationships with many New York contemporary artists, especially among the Pop generation, and brought this firsthand knowledge to his teaching over more than three decades. During the 1980s Kirk Varnedoe, like Rosenblum, extended an initial training in nineteenth-century art into the contemporary sphere, as he would famously demonstrate after assuming the directorship of painting and sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art. Linda Nochlin is the critic and scholar most identified with the emergence of strong feminist art practices from the early 1970s onwards.

In addition, three major contemporary artists, Ad Reinhardt, George Maciunas, and Philip Pearlstein, have all studied art history at the Institute of Fine Arts.

## Public programming at the institute

Each semester, the institute provides an extensive roster of public programming in the fields of art history, archeology, and conservation.

Artists at the instituteBeginning in 1983, the IFA Graduate Students Association has been inviting artists to discuss their work at the institute. The China Project WorkshopEstablished in 2011, The China Project Workshop is a discussion forum for work in progress on topics in Chinese archeology and art history. Walter W.S. Cook Annual LectureThe Walter W.S. Cook Lecture is organized by the IFA Alumni Association in honor of Professor Cook, Founding director of the IFA and historian of Medieval Spanish Art. Judith Praska Professorship Public LectureThis visiting professorship, established by an anonymous donor and named in honor of the donor's grandmother, welcomes a prominent conservator or scientist each semester to the IFA who is advancing new areas for research and teaching in art conservation. The professorship will run for four years through Spring 2016. Samuel H. Kress LectureThe Samuel H. Kress Lecture is delivered annually by a prominent scholar in conservation, who presents important issues within the fields of painting conservation and technical art history. This event is made possible through the generosity of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation. Seminar on Greek and Roman Art and Architecture

The Seminar on Greek and Roman Art and Architecture invites scholars to share their current research with the IFA community on Ancient Art and Archeology.

Latin American Forum Sponsored by the Institute for Studies on Latin American ArtThis forum invites distinguished visiting lecturers to the IFA to foster greater understanding and recognition of Latin American art around the world. Daniel H. Silberberg Lecture SeriesPlanned and coordinated by the Graduate Student Association, this series of lectures invites art historians, archeologists, and conservators, specializing in a variety of periods and genres to share their latest research with the IFA community and the general public. The 2013-2014 Silberberg Lecture Series addressed the complex role translation plays within the production and interpretation of art — considering how images and objects have been mined and recontextualized across time, space, culture, and medium, as well as exploring the limits of visual communication and literacy in fostering new ways of thinking about appropriation, influence, and audience. The Annual Kirk Varnedoe Memorial LecturesThe Kirk Varnedoe Memorial Lectures were established in 2006 to honor and perpetuate the memory of Professor Varnedoe's dedicated and innovative teaching, mentoring, and scholarship at the Institute of Fine Arts. Colloquium on Art in Spain and Latin AmericaFor this series of informal lectures and panels, leading specialists are invited to the institute to explore art historical and broader contextual issues relating to the arts of Spain and Latin America. The series is coordinated by Professors Jonathan Brown, Robert Lubar, and Edward Sullivan. The IFA-Frick SymposiumFor more than half a century, The Frick Collection and the Institute of Fine Arts have hosted a symposium for graduate students in art history. The symposium offers doctoral candidates in art history the opportunity to deliver original research papers in a public forum and to engage with colleagues in the field — novice and expert. This event is preceded by an in-house symposium with presentations by three IFA students, of which one is selected to represent the IFA.

title: New York State Route 333

abstract: New York State Route 333 (NY 333) was an east–west state highway located in southeastern Steuben County, New York, in the United States. The western terminus of the route was at an intersection with County Route 11 (CR 11) and CR 24 in Risingville, a hamlet within the town of Thurston. Its eastern terminus was at a junction with NY 415 in the town of Campbell. In between, NY 333 passed through the hamlet of Thurston. The route was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York and remained unchanged until April 1, 1997, when ownership and maintenance of the route was transferred from the state of New York to Steuben County as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government. NY 333 was subsequently redesignated as County Route 333.

# New York State Route 333

**New York State Route 333** (**NY 333**) was an east–west state highway located in southeastern Steuben County, New York, in the United States. The western terminus of the route was at an intersection with County Route 11 (CR 11) and CR 24 in Risingville, a hamlet within the town of Thurston. Its eastern terminus was at a junction with NY 415 in the town of Campbell. In between, NY 333 passed through the hamlet of Thurston. The route was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York and remained unchanged until April 1, 1997, when ownership and maintenance of the route was transferred from the state of New York to Steuben County as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government. NY 333 was subsequently redesignated as **County Route 333**.

## Route description

NY 333 began at an intersection with CR 11 and CR 24 in Risingville, an isolated hamlet within the Steuben County town of Thurston. It headed eastward, following Michigan Creek along the base of a valley surrounding the waterway. Due to the terrain of the area, NY 333 intersected only a handful of roads, one of which was Cranberry Lake Road (CR 2), a north–south highway that met NY 333 midway between the hamlets of Risingville and Thurston. The route continued onward, turning northeastward toward Thurston Pond and the small hamlet of Thurston at the eastern edge of the small lake. Here, NY 333 curved back to the east as it met Savona–Thurston Road (CR 12) in the western half of the community.

East of Thurston hamlet, NY 333 continued to run along the base of the Michigan Creek valley into the town of Campbell, where the valley met a larger valley surrounding the Cohocton River. The route proceeded eastward across the width of the latter valley, crossing over the river on its way into the riverside hamlet of Campbell, the largest community along NY 333. It proceeded eastward through the hamlet along Main Street to an interchange with the Southern Tier Expressway (then-NY 15 and NY 17) just east of the community. NY 333 ended just east of the Southern Tier at a junction with NY 415. The right-of-way also terminated at the junction.

## History

NY 333 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York as a spur connecting U.S. Route 15 (US 15, now NY 415) in Campbell to the hamlet of Risingville in the town of Thurston. It remained unchanged until April 1, 1997, when ownership and maintenance of the route was transferred from the state of New York to Steuben County as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government. In the switch, NY 333 and nearby NY 432, both maintained by the state, were given to Steuben County in exchange for maintenance of NY 415 from Meads Creek Road in Coopers Plains (northwest of Painted Post) to Babcock Hollow Road in Bath as well as for maintenance of Hamilton Street (the original routing of NY 17) between US 15 and Gang Mills. NY 333 was redesignated as CR 333 as a result.

## Major intersections

The entire route was in Steuben County.

title: New York State Route 337

abstract: New York State Route 337 (NY 337) is a short state highway located entirely within the Town of Rotterdam in Schenectady County, New York. It forms a connection from NY 7 to Interstate 890 along the western edge of the city of Schenectady and passes by the Rotterdam Square shopping mall.

# New York State Route 337

**New York State Route 337** (**NY 337**) is a short state highway located entirely within the Town of Rotterdam in Schenectady County, New York. It forms a connection from NY 7 to Interstate 890 along the western edge of the city of Schenectady and passes by the Rotterdam Square shopping mall.

## Route description

NY 337 begins at NY 7 (Duanesburg Road) just southeast of New York State Thruway (Interstate 90) exit 25A in the Schenectady County town of Rotterdam and heads northeast as the two-lane Burdeck Street through a largely residential area of the town. Just over a half-mile (0.8 km) from NY 7, NY 337 intersects NY 159 (Mariaville Road). North of NY 159, the structures surrounding the route gradually become more commercial and industrial in nature. This trend ends, however, upon crossing the CSX Transportation-owned Selkirk Subdivision.

The route continues on through lightly developed residential and commercial neighborhoods to West Campbell Road, a westward extension of Schenectady's Campbell Avenue. While Burdeck ends here, NY 337 continues on, following Campbell northwest under the Delaware and Hudson Railway mainline as the route descends into a small valley surrounding Poentic Kill. At the base of the dip, NY 337 widens to four lanes as it approaches Rotterdam Square, a large shopping mall situated to the east of Campbell Road. The route heads north, then east along the western and northern edges of the mall property before curving to the northeast toward the Mohawk River. NY 337 passes east of the Great Flats Nature Trail in its final quarter-mile (0.4 km) before terminating at Interstate 890 exit 2 across the river from Scotia.

## History

Burdeck Street and the portion of West Campbell Road between Burdeck and Interstate 890 were maintained by Schenectady County until April 1, 1980, when both were transferred to New York State as part of a large highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government. Following the swap, the two roads were designated as NY 337. The bridge carrying NY 337 over Poentic Kill near the western entrance to Rotterdam Square, 25.9 metres (85 ft) in length, was replaced in 1999.

## Major intersections

The entire route is in Rotterdam, Schenectady County.

# New York State Route 336

**New York State Route 336** (**NY 336**) is an east–west state highway located within Seneca County in the Finger Lakes region of New York in the United States. It extends for 4.64 miles (7.47 km), mostly along the FayetteVarick town line, from an intersection with NY 96A in the town of Fayette to a junction with NY 414 south of the hamlet of Fayette on the Fayette–Varick border. The section of NY 336 that runs along the town line is known as Townline Road. NY 336 was assigned to its current alignment in the early 1930s.

## Route description

NY 336 begins at an intersection with NY 96A in a rural, open area of the town of Fayette. The two-lane route heads to the southeast, passing a small number of commercial buildings on the corner of the junction before heading across rolling, undeveloped terrain. After about 0.25 miles (0.40 km), NY 336 merges with Yale Station Road (unsigned County Route 126 or CR 126), here routed along the Fayette–Varick town line. At this point, NY 336 becomes known as Townline Road as it turns east to run along the town line. It passes a handful of isolated homes on its way to the hamlet of MacDougall, a small community built up around the junction of NY 336 and MacDougall Road (CR 121).

From here, the route crosses an old railroad grade and Kendig Creek on its way to a signalled intersection with NY 96. East of NY 96, the highway continues across largely open areas of Fayette and Varick, serving little more than farms and the occasional house as it heads along the town line. NY 336 eventually reaches the outskirts of the hamlet of Fayette, where it ends at an intersection with NY 414 (Main Street) at the south end of the village's main north–south residential strip. At this point, the Fayette–Varick town line turns north to follow NY 414 for a half-mile (0.8 km) before resuming its easterly trek across the county.

## History

On November 5, 1920, the state of New York awarded a contract to rebuild the Fayette–Varick town line road between MacDougall and what is now NY 96. The highway cost $51,139 to reconstruct (equivalent to $873,561 in 2024), and it was added to the state highway system on October 31, 1921. The 0.8-mile (1.3 km) section west of MacDougall became state-maintained in the mid-1920s when the state assumed maintenance of a 5.5-mile (8.9 km) road connecting MacDougall to the Seneca River at East Geneva. The new state road curved northwest from the town line for a short distance before heading north toward East Geneva on modern NY 96A.

In the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York, hundreds of state-maintained roads were given signed numbers for the first time. By the following year, NY 336 was assigned to an alignment extending for 5 miles (8.0 km) from NY 15A (now NY 96A) just north of the town line in Fayette to NY 44 (NY 414) south of the hamlet of Fayette. The new route utilized the state-owned section of the Fayette–Varick town line road and the small section of the MacDougall–East Geneva road that curved into Fayette. The segment of NY 336 east of NY 15 (NY 96) was accepted into the state highway system in the early 1930s.

By the mid-1960s, the NY 96–NY 336 intersection had become prone to frequent accidents, some of which were fatal. The rash of incidents was attributed to steep grades on NY 336 that created a poor sight line for drivers heading east toward NY 96. In 1968, the state of New York rebuilt the 1,500-foot (460 m) section of NY 336 leading west from NY 96, lowering the highway by as much as 3 feet (0.91 m) to reduce the grade of the road's approach. A four-way flashing traffic light was also installed at the junction as part of the project. In early 2013 a three-color signal was installed at the intersection, going into operation on May 20.

## Major intersections

The entire route is in Seneca County.

title: Nevis River

abstract: The Nevis River is in Otago, New Zealand. It flows north for 40 kilometres (25 mi) through rough country before meeting the Kawarau River, of which it is a tributary. A prominent rock outcrop close to this junction is known as the Nevis Bluff. The river was one of the sites of the Otago gold rush of the 1860s. Today, the region around the river is known for tourism and wine production. New Zealand's highest bungy jumping operation, the 134-metre (440 ft) Nevis Highwire is above the river. A Water Conservation Order protects the river for its wild and scenic character and for recreational use, especially fishing and kayaking. The Water Conservation Order made provision for damming the river for hydro-electric development. Fish and Game New Zealand applied to have this provision revoked and in 2013, after a public process with consideration by a special tribunal and the Environment Court, the Environment Minister decided to prevent damming of the river. Nokomai patterned mire, in the upper catchment, is part of a relatively unmodified wetland on several square kilometres of the southern Garvie Mountains. It is possibly the largest such area in Australasia and is dominated by grasses, sedges and mosses, with shallow pools, small islands and clumps of low vegetation. The mire drains north via Roaring Lion Creek to the Nevis and south via Dome Burn to the Waikaia River. A small part of the mire is in the Nokomai catchment.

## Comparison with *Whose Life Is It Anyway?*

Both *Nevis Mountain Dew* and Brian Clark's *Whose Life Is It Anyway?* were selected as one of the ten best plays of the 1978–1979 season in New York City. Each play tackles the subject of euthanasia through the eyes of a man that has become paralyzed. Otis L. Guernsey Jr., editor of *The Best Plays of 1978–1979* theatre yearbook, which recognized the two productions that season, made the following observation:

> "*Nevis Mountain Dew* of course invites comparison with this season's British script on much the same subject, *Whose Life Is It Anyway?*, and the NEC variation on this theme holds its own. It doesn't confront its invalid's question "To be or not to be?" as polemically as its British counterpart, but it takes a similar stand and a closer look at the effects of such a prolongued \[*sic*\] calamity on those surrounding the victim."
