There is supposed to be a piece on recreational use of the Mahoning River tonight (10/27) at 11:00 on WYTV, channel 33.

Here's the link to the story/video: http://wytv.com/2014/10/27/the-mahon...ransformation/

Saw the news broadcast very nice, Chuck did a great job. Did you hear what the professor said at the end about the water?

Yes, I heard the professor's comments on bacteria levels exceeding those recommended for bodily contact. It would have been helpful if he had indicated the specific sections of the river where they are high and whether the bacteria levels are high at certain times of the year and/or at what flow rates.

I saw it too. Has more work been done on the Struthers Dam?

I've heard through the grapevine that there is now an opening on river left as suggested in Stan Boney's piece, but I have not seen or paddled to confirm it.

I never swam the mahoning but prefer a canoe, the times are a changing back to the pure form of paddling.
