In February 1981, after daily paper records of the fiber analysis, the killer started dumping bodies in Chattahoochee River. The victims were additionally bare, or nearly bare. It gave the idea that the murderer was observing media coverage of the killings, and changing his strategies to decrease fiber evidence on the victim's bodies. Police started staking out bridges along the Chattahoochee River with an end goal to find the murderer dumping a body. Early on the morning of May 22, 1981, police stake out heard a splash and spotted a station wagon on the James Jackson Parkway Bridge, in which the vehicle was stopped and the driver was twenty-three-year-old Wayne Bertram Williams, a music promoter. He was questioned by police, and claimed that…

Surveys are created to speak for the people; however, surveys do not always speak for the whole community. A survey completed by Mason City residents concluded that the residents enjoy water sports as a form of recreation. If that is so evident, why has the river not been used? The blame can not be soley be placed on the city park department. The city park department can only do as much as they observe. The real issue is not the residents use of the river, but their desire for a more pleasant smell and a more pleasant sight. If the city government cleans the river, it might take years for the smell to go away. If the budget is changed to accomodate the clean up of the Mason River, other problems will arise. The residents will then begin to complain about other issues in their city that will be ignored because of the great emphasis being placed on Mason River.…
I am halved, standing in the space where red lights change to orange. They’ve begun to install suicide barriers, but only thin drapes of tarp clinging to a few tethered wires and some unfinished, ambiguous construction material linger on the walkway at this time of night. The river is about a hundred and fifty feet below. The only life on the water tonight is the trembling of downtown Edmonton’s muted reflection. Trusses dice the bridge into thin, industrial portions, still as stone, even when cars behind me shove the stale, cold air against my back as they speed past. In the centre of a bridge that connects a city in two parts, soaked in the light of sixty thousand LED bulbs, it’s impossible not to wonder whether all of the people who have stood here planning to jump felt some sense of absolution.…
Our national parks are a supposed to be a natural treasure. Here the unspoiled grandeur and beauty of nature can be appreciated in its most pristine form. However, the amount of people that are visiting these parks has risen to levels that threaten the very beauty and well-being of these paradises. Its now seems apparent that there is a price to pay for allowing humans into an area that did not have many humans before.…

In this essay from excerpts from “The Water and Culture Reader”, Alexis Harte talks about the history of the San Antonio River walk. It is also known as Paseo del Río which is a network of walkways along the banks of the San Antonio River. Today, the River Walk is an enormously successful special-case pedestrian street, one level down from the automobile street. The River Walk loops under bridges as two parallel sidewalks lined with restaurants and shops, connecting the major tourist draws from the Alamo to River center Mall, to the Arneson River Theatre, to Marriage Island, to La Villita, to HemisFair Park, to the Tower Life Building, to the San Antonio Museum of Art, a “Flood Of Memories”nd the Pearl Brewery. During the annual springtime Fiesta, the River Parade features flowery floats that float down the river.…
Once the vote has been tallied, we connect with the on-scene reporter with the results. Now, the reporter on-scene will also be responsible for the follow-up story. Getting information from the city council persons on why they voted the way they did, what comments do the elected officials have in response to how they voted and why, and are there alternative ways to save money other than closing the parks? Some key questions that need to be asked are:…

My first view of the river makes me breathless. Shallow water washes over the road’s cement pavement. Men, women, and kids break the river’s flow; some sit in fold-up chairs and read a book, but most others are leaning back in a colored tube floating the slow water. A giant cypress tree waits patiently by the road; two large nails pin a rusted metal sign to it, warning visitors of state rules and regulations. Every river crossing has the same sign posted the closet tree. The tree’s familiar sight and significance still makes me excited, because I finally feel summer vacation starting. However, the sight also makes me impatient for we don’t start tubing until the second day. I never…
We Chicagoans have the power to change the world. We have proved we can branch out of our society and help others. Before we continue to help others, we need to help ourselves. The Chicago river is what put us on the map, without it we would not have gotten to where we are today. We need to preserve, protect and reverse the Chicago river. Without the river Chicago dies out as a growing city, we need to save the river for future generations and have the proper laws and plans in place for a booming future caused by the Chicago River.…
What conditions must apply before an area can be considered safe? A safe area according to the definition from the Encarta is summed up as an area where one can find refuge and safety, while living in security, (Encarta. 2007). Would you consider the Ryerson Campus area to be safe? This depends on a certain individual 's bias which is based on the gender and age of that individual. Another factor that comes in to play is the time of day you are viewing the area, different opinions may be generated on an area if it were daytime as opposed to night time. Personally I 'm an 18 year old male and from my exploration I generally found the Ryerson area to be unsafe, especially during the night time. Many factors came in to play for me to generate such an opinion such as lack of light in certain areas, narrow alley ways and construction that can be dangerous to anyone walking within the area.…
Collectively, they might talk about the situation as a problem of degradation of the banks right in town, pollution both upstream from agricultural activity and in town storm drain design. The sediments eroding from unstable banks are threatening fishing, including one endangered species of trout. Of course, the discussion would have to include evidence that a problem does indeed exist and development of the conviction that not acting would lead to a bad result for the stream, the town, and the individual stakeholders.…
