Saturday, August 02, 2003The EPA will have about 20 interviewers posted at the beach who will ask a few basic questions when visitors arrive and leave, such as whether they swallowed any water. Researchers also will follow up 10 to 12 days later to see if beach-goers came down with any illness or symptoms. Not a bad idea, considering the following: Huntington also faces several potential sources of possible contamination: a drain pipe near the beach dumps storm water into Lake Erie; and nearby Porter and Cahoon creeks, which also could carry contamination, empty into the lake near the beach. I've never been brave enough to swim in Lake Erie, although we used to like to have family picnics on its shores. But the dead fish and birds became such a problem that the kids made us promise never to take them there again. It was a promise easily made, since at the time we were parked near a man reading this book, which has a very prominent cover illustration. Not that the heterosexuals behave any better there. Beats me how Ohio gets its reputation for being drab and dull. posted by Sydney on 8/02/2003 11:26:00 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
