Norline is literally killing us!

spam deleted. Thanks! 'here's to your health!' Norline is a company in Cohoes and a major polluter of our air and drinking water They have been cited and fined numerous times over the years. They even dump hazardous chemicals in the Mohawk river, our source for drinking water. Chemicals being emitted such as mercury, lead, acids, etc. can cause cancer. Have smelled it in air here. Officials have told public to close windows when Norline is blasting. Big deal.They also kill wild life such as fish and fowl. As usual, the city is looking the other way as Norline contributes financially by taxes, donating to PBA,etc. and hiring workers from area. What do you think of all this and what can we do to send Norline packing?

Rain

Rain While we need it, We don't need it every day, But, it's been pouring daily, from where I sit, Watching the drops of water fall and trees sway, With the wind blowing their branches and leaves falling, Instead of for rain, I pray for a sunny day, Listening to birds sing, Feeling the warmth of the sun, Not the coolness of the clouds in the sky, Then I can get something done, Outside, tidying up, I'll try, For now the streets are soaked with rain, buckets of the stuff have filled my flower pots, It has now become a pain, As sun too is needed for fruit,crops,trees and forget me nots, So now instead of a rain dance, I will wish for a sunny sky, As I watch the animals prance, From my window by and by, Yes, it's high time for some sun, I long for it's warmth on my face, and the summer fun, It's vibrant glow on this place, That not is wet and dull, The streets resemble a ghost town, Empty and the sounds are at a lull, No activity can be seen in this now sleepy town, The rain seems to have washed away the people as well, As watered the ground and soil, The air is heavy with a damp smell, Soon, men will toil, Under the hot sun's rays, On rooves,fields,streets, They will seem as if in a daze, While others complain of the heat, And wish that it would rain.
