| Dania residents: Toxic construction dust made us sick
Lueron Dixon, a retired nurse, suffers repeated skin rashes and must take breathing treatments every night to clear her lungs.
The longtime resident blames her health problems on toxic dust she says blew into her home during construction of a nearby warehouse a few years ago.
"I had nosebleed," she said. "Right now I have a lot of mucus. I cough so much at night, I've almost choked on my own mucus." Worse, she said, her brother, Eddie Fairchild, who shared her home, "right now has colon cancer, he has liver cancer; he has lung cancer. His concern is to live."
Dixon is one of almost 100 neighbors in a predominantly black community suing Lauris Boulanger Inc., which developed the Dania Distribution Centre at Dania Beach Boulevard and Southwest 12th Avenue.

Covered girls | A peek beneath the uniformly modest look of Texas sect women
For a society accustomed to the likes of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, the images of the women from the polygamist compound in Texas are almost shocking in their understatement: ankle-length dresses, makeup-less faces, hauntingly uniform hair. And while no one would accuse the women of making a fashion statement, the pioneer-style outfits are a rare example of how, in an age of overexposure, modesty, too, can give pause. The puff-sleeved dresses worn by the women in the sect are a combination of original 19th-century wear and 1950s clothing that was adopted when the church took a conservative turn, according to Janet Bennion, an anthropologist who studies polygamist women. The dresses are meant to show modesty and conformity: They go down to the ankles and wrists, and are often worn over garments or pants, making sure every possibly provocative inch of skin is covered.
