Attn: Mayor Downie
Mayor Downie, your proposal got it half right .
However, your calling for another advisory vote
reminded me of the 1972 olympic games . Russia
and the U. S . were playing for the gold medal
in basketball . The U. S . was leading by one point ,
and Russia had the ball for a throw-in at midcourt
with four seconds left in the game. On the throw-
in the U. S . kept Russia from scoring and the
buzzer indicated the game was over . Not so,
the referee came running in and called a phantom
violation (no one ever got a explanation of what
the violation was )on the U. S. He gave the ball
to Russia for another throw-in with the four
seconds on the clock. Same scenario; Russia
didn ' t score. The referee called another violation
on the U. S . and gave the Russian team another
throw-in with the four seconds on the clock.
This time the Russian managed to score a basket
and the official immediately ruled the game over
with the Russians winning the gold medal by one
point . That seems to be what you four council
members who want our water to be fluorided are
bound to have votes until one goes the way you
want .
If fluoride is such a deterrent to tooth decay,
why are we not reading about how bad tooth decay
is in Sequim where the water has on fluoride?
Lack of fluoride in the water is not the primary
cause of tooth decay. The main causes are bad
oral hygiene and the diet of candy and soda that
too many parents feed their children.
