New York State Canal Corp. on Hudson River PCB Project The Canal Corporation commends General Electric’s decision to contin- ue their participation in the impor- tant environmental clean-up of the Upper Hudson River and Champlain Canal. Unfortunately the project still does not address the navigational needs of the canal, which could not be dredged for the past 30 years due to the contamination in the water- way. If the work plan does not change, at the end of the project in five to seven years the navigation channel will still be clogged with about 80% of the PCBs that are in place today. The Canal Corporation and nearly all of the municipalities bordering the waterway believe now is the most cost-effective time to address navigational needs. 110-Year-Old Ship to Become Floating Health Clinic Christina DeSimone, President and CEO of Future Care, Inc. and the founder of the People Reaching Out Foundation announced support of The Chauncy Maples Project, Lake Malawi’s first mobile health clinic.
