I spoke with park manager Julian Sloan at Geniwiley State Resort Park regarding a spring cleanup that will be held at Dewey Lake in Pressensburg and how it takes a community effort to protect our environment from litter. Well we have Operation Clean Sweep. It's this weekend from 9 a.m. to noon. We have volunteers come out on the park. We pick up trash from the lake shore as well as along the roadway and pull off areas, picnic areas around the lake from the dam all the way to the end of the park. This whole week we'll have volunteers coming out and going out on the lake to help pick up trash, the bigger items, the tires, the things like that off the lake. They'll be out all week collecting that stuff and then on Saturday we expect to have 300 volunteers hopefully more on the lake picking up trash. Besides the unsightliness of it, the looking at it while we're on the lake trying to enjoy our beautiful park. People that are water skiing, tubing, jet skis that can hit items that are in the water. Trash can tear up you know your boat propellers. There's just several things that that it can add to as well as it's not really nice to look at. We see a lot of plastic, pop bottles, pop cans, a lot of fast food containers, paper bags and stuff and people just a lot of it washes in from the lake, a lot of it's thrown out of car windows, there's just a multitude of ways. All you have to do to sign up is show up. The registrations start at 9, 9 a.m. on Saturday at the conference center which is at the bottom of the hill from May Lodge. It's any age group, anyone on Drake team will have to have a parent or guardian. You know sign the waivers and stuff for them and we have shuttle transportation that we can transport people to the areas and we have areas already marked out to let people start and then at noon we have a cookout for all the volunteers in our campground area. Everybody gets a t-shirt that participates. We'll have a free cookout, hamburgers, hot dogs and all the sides and then there'll be some really nice door prizes given away to volunteers. Every year this comes together it's a cooperative effort between the U.S. Corps of Engineers that managed to be like the state park and our friends of Genuwale which is a volunteer group that helps to park all year around but they helped put this event together. Our big sponsor this year for the cleanup is Appalachian Regional Health Care. They're helping us out with getting us the stuff we need to give the volunteers the shirts and stuff so we appreciate everybody helping. If you can't make it over on Saturday and you want to come over through the week and we'll give you the garbage bags and the gloves and like I say we'll be picking trash up beside the road and off the lake shore all week. Last year I think we were in the neighborhood of four tons of trash and we're hoping to beat that this year. It's too big of a job for anyone entity to do so it takes the community. You know we've got tourists. This part brings in thousands and thousands of people to the area. It takes a community so everybody come out and help us.
