I am one of "those children"....my father worked at Ideal cement for over 20 years! We lived 9 miles away from the cement plant, we swam in the river, we caught fish out of the river and we ate them! Not one single person in our family has had ANY ill side affects, sickness, or disability's. The rules now are more strict and will protect the enviroment even more than they did years ago. We need these jobs so family members do not have to move away from Wilmington in search of better paying jobs.
