Salutations!
Black History Month has come and gone, but we’d like to
keep you in the spirit of awareness with some spotlights on important
people and issues this week.
The Syracuse Community had the opportunity to meet film
producer Spike Lee in the middle of the month when he spoke at the
OnCenter downtown. Lee discussed his most recent film “When the
Levies Broke.” ESF student Kenson Jeffrey who went to hear Lee
speak commented that the filmmaker was a smart and a good speaker.
When asked what prominent Black speaker should visit our campus,
Jeffrey remarked that there might be a lack of well-known scientists.
Lisa Stevens, curator at the Smithsonian National Zoological
Park in D.C. is one person that may visit ESF in the future, said
Director of Multicultural Affairs Raydora Drummer Francis.
Enjoy!

Professor Profile: Tom Hughes
By: Craig Lazzar
Web Editor
February 21st—Tom “the
Fish Guy” Hughes of ESF Outreach
gave a short lecture last Thursday
for the students of Travis Spier’s
EFB417 Perspectives of Interpretive
Design class. He outlined how
ESF S.C.I.E.N.C.E. and Stewards
of Syracuse “combine education
and employment opportunities
into an exciting and unique
form of experiential learning.”
Interpretive programs such as
these bring ecology and nature to
underprivileged youth and serve to
expand the role that nature plays in
their lives.
S.C.I.E.N.C.E.—or
“Summer Camps Investigating
Ecology in Neighborhood and
City Environments”—is all about
exposing urban youth to “programs
that emphasize urban ecology and
urban ecosystems that are relevant
to their lives.” Through a series
of weeklong summer programs,
Syracuse middle-school students
learn about and experience the
nature that is alive all around them.
Through these programs, urban
youth develop lasting memories that
foster greater appreciation of nature,
as in the case of one girl who was
ecstatic to have caught her first fish.
The Stewards of Syracuse
program offers a slightly different
opportunity which focuses on
employment of teenage urban youth
while engaging them in appreciating
and improving their community’s
natural areas such as parks, trails,
and gardens. In the words of
crew supervisor Alex Howe, “the

kids, they might not have had an

Hearing the Tree Fall
What Does a Tree Mean to You?
By: Whitney Sapienza
Art Editor
Dr. Wangari Maathai is an inspiration
and role model for any walk of life. Born in
Nyeri, Kenya she was the first woman in East
and Central Africa to earn a doctoral degree.
Her drive for success can be seen in many of her
accomplishments; working for Kenya’s parliament,
a former Assistant Minister for Environment, a
member of the National Council of Women of
Kenya, winner of the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize and
the founder of the Green Belt Movement.
One of the highest accomplishments
of Dr. Maathai’s life thus far was receiving the
Nobel Peace Prize in 2004. Her accomplishments
were based on The Green Belt Movement,
formed by Dr. Maathai when she was a professor
in the Department of Veterinary Anatomy in
1977. The Green Belt Movement is a grassroots
organization that focuses on the conservation of
the environment and improvement of life through
the involvement of women groups planting trees
in Africa. The Movement has been a success
as women have helped plant over 40 million
trees throughout Africa. In receiving the Nobel
Peace Prize, Dr. Maathai confirmed the reality
that people were listening and following her
work and there is more to it then just planting
a tree. “I believe the Nobel committee was
sending a message that protecting and restoring
the environment contributes to peace; it is peace
work”, said Dr. Maathai. “That was gratifying. I
always felt that our work was not simply about
planting trees. It was about inspiring people to
take charge of their environment, the system that
governed them, their lives and their future. With
the Prize I realized that the world was listening.”
The result of the increase in the number
of trees is also linked to an increase in the
number of resources available to the communities
.
throughout Africa. Some of the effects of the growing
number of trees are a decrease in the amount of soil
erosion, which is closely linked to the maintenance
of watersheds, as well as restoring and increasing
the biodiversity that may have been lost due to
deforestation.
Currently Dr. Maathai is working to increase
the amount of trees planted worldwide, with a goal
of one billion. She also is continuing to take strides
to make greater awareness of women’s rights, civil
empowerment and the conservation and protection of
the environment throughout Africa.

The Knothole
In the Spotlight: The National Black Environmental Justice Network
By: Debbie Moschak
Managing Editor
Since February is Black History Month, it
is only appropriate for the Knothole to recognize
some people and organizations that have had a great
influence on the black environmental movement. In
all of the classes I have taken at ESF and SU, I have
never heard of any influential black organizations
involved in the environmental movement, yet as I
did research, I found that there are numerous black
groups that are involved in a various environmental
campaigns throughout the United States. In particular,
I found the National Black Environmental Justice
Network (NBEJB) to have a great influence with the
involvement of people of color in the environmental
movement.
The NBEJB prides itself in being a national
preventive health and environmental/economic
justice network, with affiliates in 33 states and the
District of Colombia. Their mission statement is “to
enable African Americans to secure environmental
and economic justice, health equity, political power,
civil rights and human rights”. The NBEJB was
formed in December of 1999 at a national gathering
of over 300 black environmental and economic
justice activists. Since its formation, NBEJN has
focused on developing strategies for broad-based
organizing of black communities across the U.S. to
address environmental and health threats that unjustly
affect African Americans, other people of color, and
low-income communities. As a result, they have
developed a four-point strategy designed to fight
environmental racism by focusing on 1) safe and
healthy communities, 2) sustainable development,
climate justice and clean production, 3) civil rights,
equal protection laws and policies and 4) international
human rights protection.
By following these four strategy points, the
NBEJN has been involved in a variety of campaigns,
both nationally and internationally, by targeting
healthy and safe communities, water protection, air
pollution, promotion of sustainable development
and technology, transportation injustice, as well as
many other issues pertaining to the environmental
movement. Since we are in the fight for the
environment together, it is important that grassroots
Student Life and the Environment
organizations, such as the NBEJN, are not
lost in the mix and overtaken by mainstream
environmental groups. Movements start with
the people and that is what these grassroots
organizations are all about. It is necessary to
continue to support these organizations for
all of the hard work that they do. For more
information on the NBEJN and how to join,
please visit www.nbejn.org or e-mail them at
info@nbejn.org.

Species Spotlight
Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake
By Chad Blass
Copy Editor
Living in New York there are plenty
of things we see a lot of, snow, deer and road
construction. There are also other things, however,
that are so rare that we are lucky to see them, one
of which are the venomous snakes of New York.
The Eastern Massasauga rattlesnake (Sistrurus
catenatus) is the smallest of three venomous snakes
that are found in New York State. The name
“massasauga” comes from the Chippewa language
and means “great river-mouth”, which is most
likely referring to the snake’s preferred habitat.
This rattlesnake is only found in two isolated
populations, one close to Buffalo and the other
right here, in Cicero Swamp, and prefer wetlands
and boggy areas. Although this snake is found
throughout the Great Lakes region, the scarcity of
this snake in New York make it endangered in the
state.
The massasauga can live for up to 14
years and is one of the snakes that are viviparous,
or gives birth to live young. Most adults have
characteristic hourglass markings on their back,
but there is also an all black coloration that some
adults exhibit. You can also identify this snake by
looking for the 9 large scales on the top of their
head, something that is commonly a characteristic
of non-venomous snakes. Another characteristic
of the massasauga that differs from the other
venomous snakes of New York is that they do not
hibernate in communal dens, whereas the other
snakes can be found in dens of enormous numbers.
Using these characteristics makes it fairly easy to
identify an individual in the field.
When it comes to conservation, many
measures have been taken to try and ensure
that this snake will be around for years to
come. Decline has been caused by habitat loss,
specimen collecting, development of agriculture
and unregulated hunting. Mark and recapture
and telemetry studies have been conducted since
the 1980’s on the two small populations, some
of which have been conducted by ESF graduate
The Knothole

students. Recently, a graduate student, Kevin Shoemaker,
has been working on improving the habitat in Cicero Swamp
to try and open up space for females to incubate their young.
Hopefully with his work and the work of others, the Eastern
Massasauga rattlesnake is here to stay.

Horoscopes
PISCES (FEBUARY 20 -MARCH 20) Go with your first instincts.
Second guessing yourself is a bad habit that has to be dropped
like a really hot- hot pocket. You have these second guessing
tendencies because you’re afraid of making bad decisions.
Your gut’s only purpose isn’t for storing fat your know?! It’s
also for deciphering a good choice from a not so good choice.
VIRGO (AUGUST 24-SEPTEMBER 23) New Beginnings. Fresh
Starts! Press Play? Happy New Year! Rise and Shine. Does any
of this sound familiar to you? By nature, most people find
comfort in keeping with the same ‘ol routine. It takes only
the strongest and confident of individuals to begin a
brand new chapter of your life story. Good job!
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 20) Thinking about making a life
altering decision? Your answer is probably NO simply because
you haven’t realized how much one little motion can result
in life altering decision. Ever heard of the butterfly effect
theory? Whatever moves your going to make next, going in
for the kill is always better than letting an opportunity pass
you by. Time is ticking.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24-OCTOBER 23) Even though it might be too
late to recover what has been lost, it never hurts to try. Try try
try! Knowing is better than being oblivious and even the worst
mistakes is a step and a half up from never trying at all.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21) Your invitation will be well received.
You should try something close to home but out of the
ordinary. Simple expectations and casual convo can be the
easiest way to a meaningful connection, but remember only
10% of all communication is verbal.
GEMINI (MAY 22-JUNE 21) Your cool and collective attitude
has won you many secret admirers! Attention of this sort is
always a good thing, especially when you handle it so well!
Keep up the good work and have a great Spring Break!
CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 23) Your thoughts may be governed by a
sense of obligation. If it doesn’t come naturally, you probably
are just losing touch with the other meaningful things in you
life. Don’t force your emotions. Step back and lose control. Fly
a kite.
LEO (JULY 24-AUGUST 23) Your efforts have been noticed.
Although you must keep in mind- laughing is so much more
enjoyable than giggling, screaming is much more intense
than yelling, and sleeping gives you a lot more energy than
napping. It’s a good thing that you’re trying, but it wouldn’t
hurt to try a bit harder.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24-NOVEMBER 22) OBJECTION! You seem
tired of this triangle. Are you loving for free, while not being
some one’s mother? What you need to do is wipe the cobwebs
off a book from your collection of various life volumes and dive
in. You know?? Splish Splash- like on a beach. But of course. ::
Pffffffftt::
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23-DECEMBER 21) Although emotions
are not your forte, give it an honest try. Let yourself give in
to that famous thing we all suffer from: love. Maybe you just
want to call it “like”… that’s fine for now. In time your true
feelings will make themselves clear. Debts will be paid off.
CAPICORN (DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 20) You might be hesitating
to make the next move for fear of misconstruing how you feel.
There is a fine line between a friendship and an acquaintance
but it’s easy to step up or step down. Reach out and touch
someone who is on the borderline.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21-FEBRUARY 19) Getting in touch with
your inner child is a rewarding experience. Go ahead and run
wild! Have designated times during the week when you can act
like a kid again. We guarantee it to be a therapeutic experience.
