forcing the issue into the news and demanding that the state or federal government help them escape their homes that no one would buy.\u00a0 Hooker Chemical had dumped 20,000 tons of toxic waste, which included massive amounts of deadly carcinogens such as dioxin, toluene and benzene, from 1941 to 1952.\u00a0 But it wasn\u2019t just the miscarriages, still births, birth defects, cancer, renal and neurological disorders that plagued residents of Love Canal.\u00a0 Their minds and spirits suffered too.<\/span><span

survived, but the youngest of her three boys, Jon Allen, died in October 1978 after being repeatedly hospitalized, sometimes for months, and without a diagnosis.\u00a0 He had just celebrated his

data-contrast=\"auto\">Kenny, who began her state service (Roswell was operated by the state Health Department back then) in 1958 and officially retired in 1998 to care for her husband when his congenital heart problem worsened, returned to work part-time after his death, and finally stopped working in 2009.\u00a0 She was a PEF steward and a member of the joint health and safety committees at both the state Health Department and at Roswell Park.\u00a0 The Love Canal crisis peaked in 1978-1980, at the same time PEF was being organized and founded statewide.<\/span><span

that I worked for the state Health Department when I talked about Love Canal,\u201d Kenny said.\u00a0 It was a strategy that helped her avoid the retaliation that another Roswell scientist, Beverly Paigen, experienced when she became interested in Love Canal and started researching how the chemicals were leaching and flowing through old streambeds or \u201cswales\u201d that existed before the neighborhood was built.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span

Black Creek, flowed right behind Kenny\u2019s house and her children often played in it, until the stench and obvious pollution forced them indoors.\u00a0 Kenny started collecting water samples on a regular basis and one day she saw a little bird alight next to the stream.\u00a0 She watched it hop into the water and take a drink.\u00a0 It dropped over dead.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span

who was a manager at Roswell Park, did not live in the Love Canal neighborhood, but her research was neither welcomed nor accepted by Dr. David Axelrod, who was the state health commissioner at that time.\u00a0 And New York Governor Hugh Carey didn\u2019t like anything or anyone who focused on the disaster.\u00a0 The hostility that Paigen\u2019s research engendered finally convinced her and her family to leave and build new careers in California.<\/span><span

government finally stepped in and bought Kenny\u2019s home so they could leave, they moved to Grand Island in the Niagara River and she lives there still.\u00a0 Kenny\u2019s efforts resulted in
