One man in a Lions Club polo shirt said that he was a life-long
Freeland resident and said that he agreed with the message proclaimed
in the unofficial “Dioxins My Ass” Walleye Fest hat, something that
illustrates the broad local skepticism of the dioxin dangers. The hats
have been a hot commodity.
Thank you once again, Eartha Melzer of Michigan Messenger.
Last week's post here urging the event (or at least rumored 'gifting' of dioxin tainted fish to a local food bank) be cancelled elicited these two comments:

You
should become educated in what your talking about before just blurting

I proudly voted for Obama. I am a professional biologist, and I would be concerened about the millions of tons of toxics that were dumped in that river, many of which reside in sediments, buried in the stream.
To be clear, I'm not saying I agree with this article, but common sense tells ya' that there are some risks here. Good for the writer for calling it to our attention.
