A ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY LEGISLATOR TOOK A HARD SHOT LAST WEEK AT CANCER ACTION AND ITS FOUNDER-PRESIDENT DONALD HASSIG.
HERMON LEGISLATOR FRED MORRILL TOLD THE REST OF THE BOARD IN COMMITTEE THE ORGANIZATION THAT HAS BEEN FIGHTING FOR A PUBLICLY-FUNDED EDUCATION PROGRAM TO INFORM PEOPLE ABOUT THE DANGERS OF PERSISTENT ORGANIC POLLUTANTS HAS BEEN TARGETING THE LEGISLATURE FOR CRITICISM UNFAIRLY. THE LEGISLATURE HAS REFUSED TO POST INFORMATION ON ITS WEBSITE ABOUT POP'S. HASSIG HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING OTHER MUNICIPALITIES AROUND THE COUNTY TO POST A WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION REPORT ABOUT THE SUBSTANCES. HASSIG AND HIS GROUP CLAIM MANY OF THE SUBSTANCES CAUSE CANCER, AND PEOPLE SHOULD NOT EAT FOODS THAT COULD BE CONTAMINATED BY THEM. THE GROUP CITES AS A MAIN EXAMPLE THE RESIDUES OF THE MASSENA ALUMINUM INDUSTRY GETTING INTO THE WATER, SOIL, AND AIR; AND PEOPLE ON AKWESASNE HAVING HIGHER CANCER RATES.
MORRILL SAYS THE REPORT LISTS OVER A HUNDRED CANCER-CAUSING SUBSTANCES, BUT HUNDREDS MORE THAT DO NOT, LIKE WOOD DUST--AND HASSIG IGNORES THOSE. MORRILL SAYS HASSIG FOCUSES ONLY ON ONE SMALL TARGET WHEN HIS FOCUS SHOULD BE MUCH LARGER:
THE TOWN OF POTSDAM COUNCIL VOTED 3-TO-2 LAST WEEK TO PUT THE LINK TO THE W-H-O REPORT ON ITS WEBSITE, AT CANCER ACTION'S REQUEST.

MANDATES FORCE CHANGE IN MENTAL HEALTH CARE, STATE OFFICIAL SAYS--Acting New York State Office of Mental Health Commissioner Kristin Woodlock told a crowd of more than 300 people at the Unity Center of St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center in Ogdensburg yesterday a federally-mandated switch to managed care for Medicaid to pay for mental health services, and aggressive enforcement of compliance with the Supreme Court decision in the 1999 case Olmstead v. L.C.-- that gives the mentally-ill the right to not be hospitalized if they so choose--forces OMH to scale back residential treatment and create regional "Centers Of Excellence" where services would be consolidated. Audience members pushed numerous times the idea of making Ogdensburg the regional hub.
