Scientific Fact Will Trumps Aesthetics, Boyle Convinces Scenic Hudson BOYLE/From B1 nals,” Yellot told Boyle, who was then a reporter for Sports Illustrated. Three months later, Conservation Department officials returned. “We want your duplicates,” they told Yellot. He had handed them over. Then he reached into his desk drawer. “But they didn’t ask about triplicates,” the banker said, handing a stack of the damning photos to the reporter. Bob Boyle is an environmentalist. And an important one, according to a new book, “Power on the Hudson: Storm King Mountain and the Emergence of Modern American Environmentalism,” by Robert D. Lifset, published last fall by the University of Pittsburgh Press. It casts Boyle as a central player in the updated environmental movement that grew out of Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring” (1962). His SI wildlife reportage – the fish kill, with photos, was recounted in “The Stink of Dead Stripers,” published in April 1965 – helped change the environmental group Scenic Hudson’s strategy, and that of environmentalism, even to this day, even in Otsego County. The issue at hand was a pumped-storage plant – offpeak electricity produced at Indian Point would be
So “a lot of (Boyle’s reporting) wasn’t attributed,” Lifset continued. “I see his hands all over it – his style of writing – and it had an impact on the larger movement.” For instance – and Lifset only learned this recently, From Marist College archives when a Nuclear Regulatory Commission historian spoke Scenic Hudson sketched the outline of the to a class – Boyle’s fish-kill pumped-storage plant against the outline of reportage was seen “as a big Storm King Mountain. shot across the bow” by the pumped up to a mountain who became interested in reservoir; during peak dethe Storm King controversy nuclear industry, which up to that point had been seen mand, the water would flow while seeking a Ph.D. at as environmentalism’s ally, down through hydroelectric Columbia. turbines – proposed near Boyle, who later founded a way to combat air pollution from coal-burning Storm King Mountain. the Hudson River Fisherplants.

Travel Taught Writer Boyle, ‘Progress’ Can Be Pollution BOYLE/From B2 was his summers visiting relatives in Winsted, Conn. – Ralph Nader’s hometown – that awakened his interest in nature. He caught his first fish at nearby Highland Lake.
He majored in biology at Trinity College, then earned a master’s in history at Yale in 1950. He was asked to continue on for his Ph.D., but the Korean War had started; he had a reserve commission in the Marine
Corps and expected to be called up. After two years in Fleet Marine Force Atlantic – the luck of a lottery saved him from service in Korea – he returned to the New York Times to accept a job offered earlier by managing editor Edwin “Jimmy” James; James had just been replaced by Turner Catledge, who knew nothing of the original offer. So Bob spent a month in Ireland, intending to write fiction, then shifted to Barcelona, where – this was during the Franco regime – as one of only a handful of Americans in the city, he was recruited by FC Barcelona for a team that played an exhibition baseball game against a U.S. team from Weisbaden AFB. Back in New York, he joined United Press, worked in San Francisco and, a year and a half later, joined Time Inc., reporting from Chicago for Sports Illustrated on boxing, horse racing and other sports, and ranging the Midwest for Time on any topic assigned from New From “Power on the Hudson” York. Using a weighted net – a “seine” – Boyle fishes In his travels, “I noticed in the Hudson River after returning to New York huge dam construction, from Time’s Chicago bureau. water projects in California,

Thomas Cole, father of the 19th century Hudson River School of painters, featured at The Fenimore Art Museum in 2013, found inspiration in Storm King. But that wasn’t enough to convince the Federal Power Commission to save the view from destruction by a pumped-storage plant. Boyle’s alternative strategy, based on ecology, save the view in the end.
pollution, Eisenhower’s highway program that was just being rammed through areas,” he told Lifset. “It was called progress,” but Boyle saw it as devastating, he recalled the other day in his cabin-like study next to his home on an East Springfield hillside. And so, reassigned to headquarters in the early ’60s and living in Crotonon-Hudson, he refocused on an interest that dated back to boyhood summers at Camp Marquette in Spofford, N.H., where he would turn over rocks in stream beds, fascinated by the insect life revealed. “Sports Illustrated was a great place to work at the time,” he said. Go ahead, his editors told him. “But they said, we aren’t going to give you every week – people will turn you off – but several times a year.” As with the fish-kill photos, Boyle found other instances of a too-cozy relationship between the Conservation Department and Con Ed. In reporting on the fish kill, Boyle happened on testimony at the FPC hearing by Dr. Alfred Perlmutter, author of “A Guide To Marine Fishes,” that no study on striped-bass spawning grounds had been done since the 1930s, and it located the spawning grounds well upstream from Storm King. Boyle was tipped off to a 1950s study that placed the spawning grounds right off Indian Point, and he tracked down one of the researchers, now assigned to a project in western Alaska, waking him up at 2:30 a.m. Didn’t Perlmutter know about the study? “He hired us,” the researcher told the surprised

OFO’s Maskin: Issues That Concerned MLK Still With Us Today

POVERTY/From B1 “It’s an important link, and it showed that the poor had less options when it came to legal services and access to medical care. They still do.” But the face of homelessness isn’t just a grizzled man sleeping on a park bench. “Homelessness is people who couch-surf, people who live in houses without adequate heating or plumbing,” he said. “There is a lack of affordable, permanent housing.” Currently, all beds in OFO’s 18-bed shelter in the Sixth Ward are full. “The challenges we face are finding resources,” he said. “More and more, those resources are being diverted to cities with larger populations.” And with the economy still weak, Maskin all too often sees people evicted for failing to pay the rent. “That’s the biggest population we see,” he said. “The second biggest reason people become homeless is that they are ‘thrown out’ of where they’re liv-
ing with family or friends.” Often, Maskin says, people who have just been released from prison show up looking for a place to stay. “We run a background check An Oneonta because we don’t Job Corps house anyone who’s recruit recites been convicted an original of violence in the poem. past,” he said. “If that’s the case, we make arrangements for them to stay in a motel.” The same goes for people addicted to drugs; only if they are in treatment are they welcome to stay in the shelter. However, addicts and some other homeless populations can be difficult to keep track of. “Runaway and
homeless youth have always been a hard population to serve,” he said. “If they’re under a certain age, we have to notify the parents, and so a lot of times, they don’t even want to come in. They may have been thrown out; there may be abuse or instability in the home.” And although a drive around Oneonta will turn up more than a few “For Rent” signs, Maskin says it’s not enough to combat the problem. “For someone on public assistance, the cost is still restrictive,” he said. “While we’re not quite at New York City prices yet, when an apartment goes for $1,200 a month, we’re getting there.” But he hopes the community will come together to help address and help their homeless friends and neighbors at a Call to Action meeting on Thursday, Feb. 4. “It’s a community problem,” he said. “But we want to engage everyone in a dialogue and come up with a strategy.”
