I used t...Thanks for all of your informative posts. I used to live in Pensacola and was planning to visit May 23. After looking at the NOAA projection for this Wed, I'm leaning toward waiting till the fall. If the spill does stay away (hopefully!!) the beaches will be lovely then. I think May and Sept are the best times to visit (um, except for hurricane season in fall.)<br /><br />I am just sick about this mess and so sad for the animals, ocean ecosystem, people who rely on the ocean and beaches for jobs, etc. Though, I drive and use oil, so I guess I'm part of the problem more than solution.<br /><br />Keep posting - I'm visiting you every day to get the real scoop!!<br /><br />Emily in Little RockEmilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586513.post-85223955986937080102010-05-15T20:02:07.170-05:002010-05-15T20:02:07.170-05:00Article from Las Vegas Review Journal:

Oil companies do not care about human health issues that arise from their toxic chemicals. I am one of the 11,000+ cleanup workers from the Exxon Valdez oil spill, who is suffering from health issues from that toxic cleanup, without compensation from Exxon. <br /><br />My name is Merle Savage; a female general foreman during the EVOS beach cleanup in 1989, which turned into 20 years of extensive health deterioration for me and many other workers. Dr. Riki Ott visited me in 2007 to explain about the toxic spraying on the beaches. She also informed me that Exxon's medical records and the reports that surfaced in litigation brought by sick workers in 1994, had been sealed from the public, making it impossible to hold Exxon responsible for their actions. <br />http://www.rikiott.com <br /> <br />Dr. Riki Ott has devoted her life to taking control from corporations and giving it back to We The People. If corporations continue to control our legal system, then We The People become victims. http://www.MovetoAmend.org <br />Dr. Riki Ott has written two books; Sound Truth & Corporate Myth$ and Not One Drop. Dr. Ott has investigated and studied the oil spill spraying, and quotes numerous reports in her books, on the toxic chemicals that were used during the 1989 Prince William Sound oily beach cleanup. Black Wave the Film is based on Not One Drop, with interviews of EVOS victims; my interview was featured in the section; Like a War Zone.<br />http://www.blackwavethefilm.com <br /> <br />Exxon developed the toxic spraying; OSHA, the Coast Guard, and the state of Alaska authorized the procedure; VECO and other Exxon contractors implemented it. Beach crews breathed in crude oil that splashed off the rocks and into the air -- the toxic exposure turned into chronic breathing conditions and central nervous system problems, along with other massive health issues. Some of the illnesses include neurological impairment, chronic respiratory disease, leukemia, lymphoma, brain tumors, liver damage, and blood disease. <br />Please view the 7 minute video that validates my accusations. <br />http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5632208859935499100 <br /> <br />My web site is devoted to searching for EVOS cleanup workers who were exposed to the toxic spraying, and are suffering from the same illnesses that I have. Our summer employment turned into a death sentence for many -- and a life of unending medical conditions for the rest of us. <br />http://www.silenceinthesound.com/stories.shtml <br />http://www.silenceinthesound.com/gallery.shtml <br /> <br />Merle Savage <br />msavage12@cox.netmsavage12https://www.blogger.com/profile/07515102871897815612noreply@blogger.com
