I first met Barbara Beal in the Kashmere Gardens area of Houston around this time last year. Her neighborhood had just been included in a newly-identified "cancer cluster" where health officials reported higher-than-normal rates of adult cancers. The Texas Department of State Health Services just revealed information about a second cluster regarding childhood cancers in the same area. I went back to the neighborhood for Ms. Beal's reaction. I also reached out to Union Pacific Railroad.. The entity blamed by many for causing the health issues via a longtime creosote facility that operated across the street from Ms. Beal's home.
