Patsiliga

The damn still stands at Fickling Mill Holding water after all these years On the creek called Patsiliga Homeland of Indian braves and ladies Now Patsiliga is polluted Contains high levels of mercury unsuited For fish and wildlife unsafe to eat From these waters take no meat (Went by Fickling Mill and Patsiliga Creek for the funeral on the weekend. I love the word Patsiliga(in the Indian's language it means pigeons roosting place). This is beautiful farming country down in Taylor County. I looked up some info on mercury and found that something about the combination of leaves and other natural residue somehow holds onto the mercury. I don't know from where the mercury has come but the levels that are getting into some fish are not safe. It is possible that since this is farming country that the mercury comes from the pesticides used on crops and the mix of the leaves holding it in is the problem. This is not fact that you can go out and preach but look up info if you want to.)
