THE GRIM REAPER LIVES IN HAZLETON, PA.

<
You may have read the Associated Press article out of Hazleton,
Pa,, last week in which federal health officials confirmed the
existence of "cancer clusters" in the Greater Hazleton area.
<
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
revealed that its two-year study indicated 33 cases of
olycythemia vera, a rare bone marrow disease that results
in overproduction of red blood cells.
<
The agency indicated that it could not find the cause
but its members apparently haven't clicked on to
http://www.cancercapital.com
or they certainly would know the answer.
<
Toxic wastes and hazardous chemicals have been dumped
for decades in the Greater Hazleton area, especially in the
former McAdoo Associates dump site, a former anthracite
mine over 1.200 feet deep. .
<
The agency revealed that it confirmed 33 cases of
polycythemia vera in an area surrounding Ben Titus
Road in Ryan Township, between McAdoo and Tamaqua..
>
However, for the agency's information, an astounding
total of 131 cases have been documented between
Freeland and Tamaqua. YES, 131 CASES.
<
It should be noted that the U,S, national average for cases
of polycythemia tvera are ione in 100,000 and yet the entire
Greater Hazleton area has a population of about 200,000.
<
Can you believe that, while Greater Hazleton residents
are dying like flies, the city of Hazleton is ready to negotiate
the sale of land to a developer, Hazle Creek Properties,.that
already has been dumping hazardous materials in the area
and apparently wants to comstruct a housing development
and an amphiteathre on the former city landfill.
<
Residents of Southeastern Pennsylvania should be greatly
concerned because the hazardous waste and toxic chemicals
are moving underground in their direction. It has been reported
that they were discovered as far southeast as the Blue Mountain
a dozen years ago..
<
Danger areas include Allentown and the entire Lehigh Valley,
Reading, Philadelphia and all Southeastern counties,, along with
South Jersey and Delaware.
<
For more information about the epidemic of death and dying,
contact state Rep.Todd Eachus at 570-450-7905, Hazleton
Mayor Lou Barletta at 570-459-4910, the Hazleton
Standard-Speaker at 1-800-843-6680 or CAN DO Inc.
-- its industrial development organization at 570-455-1508.

I haven't been to Hazleton for about 15 years, but I can attest that
the Grim Reaper does indeed live there. I knew it as a place where
people walked around with death in their eyes - a eerily dark place. A
town that was so so dependent on the Anthracite industry that when it
started to die there was nothing left but the refuse piles. This town
is a prime target for a Bruce song, although Youngstown does a pretty
good job of summing it up.
