February 21 – Clear Creek Cleanup ’09 –
Clear Lake
For several weeks now, Eddie and I have been following the work of the Clear
Creek Environmental Foundation (CCEF).
We have watched them pull everything imaginable out of the waters in our bay
area. Golf carts, seafood storage units, cars, commercial fans, and building
materials from what used to be Maribelle’s and other establishments, in the
area. It has been an amazing sight to see.
Saturday, February 21 was the culmination of their effort. For the last 9 years,
CCEF has pulled out a total 103 tons of trash, from Clear Creek. This year, Rex
Ward, the Keeper of the Creek, has been leading this group’s effort to the tune
of picking up and pulling out more than 200 tons of trash! Trash that now will
be recycled rather than float down into Clear Creek.
It took a little time to push the huge multi unit barge down the creek to the
270 landing. But once it got there, with the help of hundreds of volunteers, the
barge of trash was unloaded and thrown into huge trash bins, to be sent away for
proper disposal or recycling.
Listen in
to Talk of the Bay, as we talk with some of the volunteers
working to help clean up our bay area.

Many thanks to Jason Pruns, he was Eddie’s pilot for the morning. With more than
6 years of experience, Jason focuses on flight training, for both airplanes &
helicopters. So, if you’re ever in need of a helicopter call Ascent Aviation at

Jason, you truly sent Eddie up the creek…without a paddle!
