VILLAGE of Valley Stream PRESENT the 2018 SUMMER GUIDE MAYOR FARE AND THE INCORPORATED VILLAGE OF Valley Stream PRESENT THE 2018 SUMMER GUIDE Valley Stream, New York . WHERE OUR RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS READ ABOUT OUR TALENTED VALLEY STREAM STUDENT ARTISTS INSIDE… ARE SECOND TO NONE ! A Message from Our Mayor Welcome to Summer Excitement Dear Neighbors, Summer is just around the corner, and with it another great season of recreational programs for Valley Stream children and adults to enjoy. Our dedicated parks and recreation staff are hard at work getting an extensive array of warm weather activities ready for Valley Streamers of all ages. We are always seeking to build upon what we already have in place, and this year is no exception. Children who frequent Barrett and Arlington Parks and the Kay Everson play area in Hendrickson Park will again enjoy the three beautiful new interactive playgrounds that were completed a few years ago. In addition to such popular regulars as Camp Barrett, mini-golf and, of course, our state-of-the-art pool complex, we will again play host to US Sports Institute’s sports camp for children and adults, expanded outdoor movie nights on the banks of beautiful Hendrickson Lake, and other surprises along the way. Back by popular demand will be our 6th Annual Family Fishing Weekend, so mark your calendars for June 23rd and 24th for this outstanding family-friendly activity. Mayor & Board of Trustees If you’ve been to the pool in recent summers you would have noticed the new large shade structure at the west end of the pool deck, where patrons can gather to escape the hot afternoon sun. Be sure to purchase your Edwin A. Fare pool membership by opening day, June 9th for a summer of swimming, poolside events and plenty of fun in the Mayor sun. We always know it is summer when evening music rises from the Village Green’s John Smith Bandshell, John L. Tufarelli as our summer concert series gets underway. This year we will again be treated to a variety of popular bands and Vincent M. Grasso singers, including a night of “Doo Wop” under the stars that is sure to have everyone singing along. Dermond E. Thomas Our employees take pride in keeping our parks in tip-top shape and our recreational programming fresh Sean Wright and innovative. They work very hard to update the services and programs we all enjoy. It is our pleasure to Trustees provide you and your families with excellent summer programs, so please make sure to participate in all that is available here in beautiful Valley Stream.

Stream Habitats and Fish Faunas in the Tropics 109 III. Reproductive Strategies and Population Dynamics 124 IV. Feeding Strategies and Food-Web Structure 129 V. Conservation of Fish Biodiversity 136 VI. Management to Alleviate Human Impacts and Restore Degraded Streams 139 VII. Research Needs 139 References 140 This chapter emphasizes the ecological responses of fishes to spatial and temporal variation in tropical stream habitats. At the global scale, the Neotropics has the highest fish fauna richness, with estimates ranging as high as 8000 species. Larger drainage basins tend to be associated with greater local and regional species richness. Within longitudinal stream gradients, the number of species increases with declining elevation. Tropical stream fishes encompass highly diverse repro- ductive strategies ranging from egg scattering to mouth brooding and livebearing, with reproductive seasons ranging from a few days to the entire year. Relationships between life-history strategies and population dynamics in different environmental settings are reviewed briefly. Fishes in tropical streams exhibit diverse feeding behaviors, including specialized niches, such as fin and scale feeding, not normally observed in temperate stream fishes. Many tropical stream fishes have greater diet breadth while exploiting abundant resources during the wet season, and lower diet breadth during the dry season as a consequence of specialized feeding on a subset of resources. Niche complementarity with high overlap in habitat use is usually accompanied by low dietary overlap. Ecological specializations and strong associations between form and function in tropical stream fishes provide clear examples of evolutionary convergence.

  • Platypus Predation Has Differential Effects on Aquatic Invertebrates In
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Platypus predation has diferential efects on aquatic invertebrates in contrasting stream and lake ecosystems Tanya A. McLachlan‑Troup1*, Stewart C. Nicol 2 & Christopher R. Dickman 1 Predators can have strong impacts on prey populations, with cascading efects on lower trophic levels. Although such efects are well known in aquatic ecosystems, few studies have explored the infuence of predatory aquatic mammals, or whether the same predator has similar efects in contrasting systems. We investigated the efects of platypus (Monotremata: Ornithorhynchus anatinus) on its benthic invertebrate prey, and tested predictions that this voracious forager would more strongly afect invertebrates—and indirectly, epilithic algae—in a mesotrophic lake than in a dynamic stream ecosystem. Hypotheses were tested using novel manipulative experiments involving platypus‑ exclusion cages. Platypuses had strongly suppressive efects on invertebrate prey populations, especially detritivores and omnivores, but weaker or inconsistent efects on invertebrate taxon richness and composition. Contrary to expectation, predation efects were stronger in the stream than the lake; no efects were found on algae in either ecosystem due to weak efects of platypuses on herbivorous invertebrates. Platypuses did not cause redistribution of sediment via their foraging activities. Platypuses can clearly have both strong and subtle efects on aquatic food webs that may vary widely between ecosystems and locations, but further research is needed to replicate our experiments and understand the contextual drivers of this variation. Predation can strongly influence the size and dynamics of prey populations and the structure of prey communities1–3. Such infuences can arise if predators selectively depredate prey species from the array of prey taxa that is available (consumptive efects,e.g.

  • Introduction to Stormwater and Watersheds I-2 IMPACT of URBANIZATION on STREAM QUALITY
    Introduction to Stormwater and Watersheds I-2 IMPACT OF URBANIZATION ON STREAM QUALITY AT A GLANCE Urbanization alters the natural processes in streams, lakes and rivers. Urban watersheds produce more stormwater runoff and deliver it more quickly to streams compared to rural watersheds. Urban stream channel erosion, loss of riparian buffers warmer stream temperatures and toxic pollutants reduce fish and aquatic insect abundance and diversity. Understanding the impacts of imperviousness on stream quality can help watershed managers prioritize restoration efforts. HOW URBANIZATION ALTERS WATERSHEDS Watersheds are continually transformed by human activities. These changes impact the way water moves through a watershed and ultimately leads to the loss of stream health. As forests are cleared and farms are converted to housing developments, permeable surfaces are replaced by rooftops, roads and parking lots. This increase in impervious cover fundamentally alters the watershed’s hydrology. Rainfall, once intercepted by tree canopy and absorbed by the ground, is now converted to surface runoff. Increased impervious surface means more rainfall is converted Consequently, urban streams experience more to surface runoff. frequent and severe flooding. Meanwhile, stream flow during dry weather often declines over time because the groundwater is no longer being recharged. Urbanization significantly impacts stream health in six key ways, summarized in the table below. Each impact is interrelated and can range in severity depending on the degree to which the watershed has been developed. Impervious cover is often used as a general index of the intensity of subwatershed development, and can be used to help make watershed management and restoration A hydrograph shows the flow rate in a stream over time after a rain event.

  • Naegele Thesis Final
    Prediction of Stage, Bathymetry, and Riparian Vegetation of the Lower Olentangy River After Removal of the Fifth Avenue Dam Alexandra C. Naegele School of Environment and Natural Resources Advisor: William J. Mitsch Professor, School of Environment and Natural Resources Director, Olentangy River Wetland Research Park 352 W. Dodridge Street Columbus, Ohio 43202 Committee Members: William J. Mitsch Roger Williams Li Zhang Abstract The Olentangy River is a third order stream as it passes through urban Columbus Ohio with an average flow of 191 ± 13 cfs and an annual peak flow of 2372 cfs (67.2 m3/sec). As it passes through the city, it is impounded by several low-head dams. The 2-mile reservoir created upstream of a dam (referred to as the Fifth Avenue Dam) on the river and adjacent to The Ohio State University campus is currently in non-attainment of biological and ambient water quality standards. Planned river ecosystem restoration of this pool is based on the removal of the Fifth Avenue Dam, which would increase stream velocity and sediment transport, improving total water quality. This study looks at the relationships among flow, stage level, and current bathymetry of the Olentangy River to predict the bathymetric profile of the river upstream of the dam after it has been decommissioned and the vegetation that will result on new riparian areas. The flow of the river was calculated as a function of the river stage using a rating curve developed by the U.S. Geological Survey for the Olentangy River Wetland Research Park (ORWRP) and previous research at the ORWRP.
