How Humphrey Parker’s walking stick became the tree in the middle of the road – Iowa Road Trip

I recently received a copy of “The Parker Family Tree”, the Parker family of Cass County, Iowa Its origins and passages by Mary Rendleman Gilchrist. Congrats to Mary, this is an extremely well-researched and put-together history of the Parker family who is credited with planting the tree in the middle of the road

NYS Office of General Services – ISI Intake Screens, Inc.

This 142 cfs (92 MGD, 14,511 m3/h) cooling water intake is located in Albany, NY and provides water to both heat and cool buildings owned and operated by the state of New York. The facility was required to install 0.75-mm slot size wedgewire screens with a through-screen velocity of no more than 0.5 fps (15 cm/s) to reduce both entrainment and impingement in accordance with NYS Commissioner Policy #52. Fish species offered protection by this screening system include river herring (Alewife and Blueback Herring), Atlantic Sturgeon, Shortnose Sturgeon, and tens of other anadromous, catadromous, and resident Hudson River fish species. This project is to be fabricated in 2021 and installed in 2022 and this page will be updated as the project progresses.

The big project in the Corning Preserve and how it will help protect the ecology and fishery of the river.
