This stack of <br /> material is over four feet thick. <br /> They recommend clean up that will cost $250, 000, 000. i t was not - until <br /> April 28, 1995 did I realize the impact of this contamination . I started <br /> asking myself some serious questions . f <br /> � <br /> Prior to this date I could not ref i nance my house unt 11 we were x <br /> supplied with town water . . .and there were a few members of our Association <br /> who had died of cancer . Some might say that this Is a part of life . But <br /> on Apr i 1 28, 1995 our family changed forever . our 14 year old son who was <br /> brought u on Johns pond was diagnosed with Large Cell Non-Hodgkins <br /> p g g � <br /> Lymphoma (Cancer ) . He is currently in treatment at Dana Farber "Jimmy Fund <br /> Clinic" in Boston. <br /> 1 <br /> Although there is no proof that the pollution causes cancer, we do <br /> know conclusively that there are higher Incidents o f cancer In Bourne, <br /> andwi ch, Mashpee, and Falmouth. <br /> f <br /> Let us save parents the pain of questioning having made a poor <br /> dee i s i on t o live f n these towns . ourover nment has the technology o and <br /> g gy � <br /> capacity to solve these problems , Now is the time to get it done! <br /> 7 <br /> Enclosed Is a picture of my son Tim.
