press release

The American spirit and resilience is shown in \”Boatlift\”, the epic story of the 9/11 boatlift that evacuated half a million people from the piers and seawalls of Lower Manhattan. I had no idea that the 9/11 boat evacuation was larger than the evacuation at Dunkirk during World War Two and they completed it so fast. The video is narrated by Tom Hanks who I am a fan of as usually whatever film he has a hand in turns out to be a great production. ~ Big Geek Daddy

(New York, N.Y – September 9, 2015) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will remove lead contaminated soil this month at a property between the base of a cliff wall and a walkway at the Falls Creek Gorge in Ithaca, N.Y. 

The EPA collected samples of soil at the site in May and July after receiving requests from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the City of Ithaca. The city and state wanted the sampling because they plan to improve the public access area to the park at the base of the Falls Creek Gorge area. Because the samples showed elevated levels of lead in the soil, the area was barricaded and signs were installed in June to prevent public access.
