tomb with a view

My sister sent me this web-site that is a must read for everyone. My husband and I lived just east of this toxic dump site when we were first married. I know several people, usually too young to have these types of cancers and others with autoimmune diseases. The web-site is www.clevescene.com and the link is tomb-with-a-view, located near the bottom of the site on the right hand side with the most e-mailed articles. It is quite a lengthy artice, so you might want to save it to read when you have time. I only knew one of the people in the article who lived in the valley. They had it much worse. The Cuyahoga River was also in the path of this toxic waste

Unhappy

Thanks for the link. It is really a horror story isn't it? I am doing some research into family health and I have to admit my whole paternal history is one long list of cancer deaths. No wonder I felt so strongly about moving away from the upstate NY area! Not that I have any proof but all that adds up and makes me wonder.

thanks Lu annAs a fellow Ohioian I cannot believe how things were so covered up (literally). It really makes you wonder how many more places and dumps like that we have not linked to illness yet. We all need to seriously think about what we are contributing to our earth.
