In Florida - Don't Go Near the Water
TITUSVILLLE — Hundreds lined Max Brewer Bridge on Monday evening to drop
flower petals in honor of 16-year-old Courtney Nash, who died Saturday from a rare amoebic infection contracted after swimming in the St. Johns River. Schoolmates, friends and entire families stopped to pay tribute to the girl as they crowded on one side of the bridge. Many wore T-shirts in memory of Nash. "R.I.P. CJN," read one. "I love you, Courtney," read another. - - - One wonders if flajim had been swimming in that river earlier... |

They wear rubber gloves when docking or undocking. You can watch railroad tanker cars being cleaned with steam and the discharge running down the rocks and into the river a little above the island and a short ways to the ocean. The water stinks but there is still fish in it. The Dolphins won't come much beyond the island. I think it is because of the pollution. If they knew what they were in I'm sure they wouldn't come near the river at all. There are many rivers in bad shape. The one I use to fish, just about every evening, most of the mussels died at least one year. You could see what appeared to be marshmallows floating all over the water. It was dead mussels out of their shells. I found one big mussel shell and it was paper thin years ago. The biggest ones now, where there are any are about the size of your thumb. One year when we came back in there was stuff all over the water. It was hell cleaning the boat. It was human feces. they found a lot of syringes and stuff that year. The little nooks and slack areas of the lakes are full of every conceivable piece of plastic, garbage, old tires, tampons, and you name it. |

Well, I'll have to admit that even with all its problems (including the f**king swans), the Chesapeake isn't quite that bad. If I were you, I'd take some pictures, post them, and let all of us send them to Bobo. |

The more they feed, the quicker rec.boats will fall into the black hole of cyberspace and disappear. |

If I were you, I'd take some pictures, post them, and let all of us send them to Bobo. The sighting of the RxR tanker cars was two years ago. Anyone taking the cruise in Savannah can see it. The other stuff ain't the half of it. When it rains too much upstream they discharge sewage along with the runoff untreated. Sometimes they do it anyway. thirty years ago the State was going to make that city clean up it's act supposedly until the city said they couldn't afford it. They still expanded the city limits and the sewer system even though the plant couldn't handle it. Signs were made up to be posted to not eat the fish and not to swim in the river but the city howled and others that it would kill tourism. The few signs that went up came down. One year I had to as well as many others clean sewage from our boat hulls. They found syringes and hospital waste down river where we launched about 20 miles. This kind of stuff goes on all over the Country. latest howl about EPA going too far has some foundation but now you can do anything there are not enough State pollution staff, so to speak, to even answer the phone. |

Numbers looked really bad. They were told the test were not right and to re do the test until they got real numbers. That is not the exact language. The orders areto serve the Political leadership. Do your job and lose it. the law is what the politician says it is not what is on the book. civil Service was valuable in that it kept that from happening many many times. That is one reason why the data we collect is fairly pure. We do not report to anyone in the government and the people we do work with in DEP do their damnedest not to get caught up in political fights. They really discourage broadcasting the data we collect officially and allowing it to be used for going after polluters ... but that doesn't stop us from collecting "other" data sets that can be used to ring the alarm bell. The official data is really meant to be a scientific history source, not anything that is in real time. Although we can get our snapshots from the labs fairly quickly, it does not get published for quite a while and it is usually defining trends and projections. I doubt most politicians even know we exist. I don't have a feel for the in and outs of it. But Policy comes before mandate or law apparently. The Politician probably has no idea who is involved but if the numbers don't match their policy or agenda than well.**** flows down hill. Political appointees are there for a reason. |
