At the Utica • UTICA ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER Volume 27, No. 3 JUNE 1992 New, New, New - At The Utica Zoo ••• Each summer we try to bring in new animals to the Children's Zoo as well as the zoo to entice our visitors and their children to learn more about the Animal Kingdom. Some of the newest residents which can be found in our Children's Zoo include: Tennessee fainting goats, St. Croix sheep, a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig, a domestic horse and a South American llama. Along with these new residents you will find the two snowy owls we talked about in our last issue. Among these highlights, the Children's Zoo will also have a display of educational interactive graphics. These graphics will highlight certain animals and their special adaptations by allowing children (and adults) to manipulate the graphic to demonstrate the concept. We are also looking forward to the arrival of a Rocky mountain goat which will be displayed in the former Himalayan tahr exhibit. These goats are known for mountain climbing abilities and for their dramatic white coloration. We have a great homed owl which is now on exhibit outside our Cats & Primates Building across from the Red Panda exhibit. These owls are native to New York State and are the most powerful bird predator in the Northeast. These owls do not actually have horns, but receive If the ESA is not reauthorized ana amended by their name because of their distinctive horned shape ear tufts at each side of the head.

Conservation: The Big Picture - The Honorable Endangered Species Act Update United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 This year, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) is under fire. Originally passed by • Daniel Patrick Moynihan Congress in 1973, authorization for the Act will expire on September 30, 1992 and it is • Alphonse M. D' Amato the responsibility of Congress to reauthorize it. The ESA protects plant and animal species in danger of extinction in the United States and around the world. While environmental groups are lobbying to strengthen the ESA, they are meeting much Sherwood P. Boelhert, 25th District: opposition by special interest groups such as developers and the lumber industry. Federal Bldg., Room 200, 10 Broad St., There are currently two targets of dispute surrounding reauthorization of the Act. Utica, N.Y. Currently, the ESA protects species, subspecies, and some vertebrate populations. (315) 793-8146 Some critics want to eliminate protection below the species level. This would mean that the California sea otter, the northern spotted owl, the peregrine falcon, the bald House of Representatives, eagle, the gray wolf, and the grizzly bear would be among the animals no longer 1641 Longworth House Office Bldg. protected by the act. Washington D.C. 20515 The second area of dispute is a provision stating that decisions about whether an animal should be listed as endangered or threatened must be based solely on biologi­ cal considerations. Opponents want the law changed so that a new listing could be prohibited if the possible economic impacts were deemed "too great". They say that the needs of plants and animals are being considered over the needs of humans. However, the current law does specify that economic, social, and other nonbiological factors must be weighed during the process of determining what steps are needed to protect a listed species. If you would like to help ensure that the ESA amendments of 1992 are passed, write to your congressional representatives and urge them to support H.R. 4045. Because such letters influence whether or not bills are passed, letter writing is an effective way of voicing your opinion. Addresses are listed to the left of this article. ,.. 2 ~ fP THE ZOOTICA NEWS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S • REPORT••• Zoos and summers go together SUMMBK SAFARI l!l ZOO SCHOOL CLASSBS naturally.

  • SOAR to Success: Take Advantage of Orientation
    Week of April 7, 2014 SOAR to Success: Take Advantage of Orientation Community college students normally invest two years in earning an associate degree. A few, key hours of support right at the beginning can make all the difference in the outcome, leading to two college years well spent and years of success in the career that follows. With its new Student Orientation, Advising, and Registra- tion (SOAR) program, Mohawk Valley Community College has created a structured, efficient approach helping new students get started. By bringing new students together for an interac- tive workshop plus individualized advising, SOAR is the latest way that MVCC supports its students throughout the college experience from admissions to graduation and on into career development. “We are committed to supporting student success through- out college, including right at the beginning. SOAR is based on evidence that students who have a focused orientation are much more likely to succeed later in college,” says Jennifer DeWeerth, associate dean for enrollment and advisement. “We pack the program with things that will be immediately useful to all students, such as how to choose a major, select classes, Students who participate in SOAR leave with a better under- register, and get the most out of their interactions with advisors standing of their academic, transfer, and career goals; build a and other support staff.” sense of community with other MVCC students, faculty, and SOAR is for all new students and transfer students who have staff; register for their first semester and get their MVCC photo not previously attended MVCC. Virtually all new students are ID; become familiar with e-mail and other MVCC technology; required to participate in one of the workshops before starting and learn the ropes of MVCC’s numerous support services and classes.
