THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ATTENDED CEREMONY
Letter to the editor, His (the mayor’s) cost estimate are way over the top. Many sites, including the three main ones, peg the cost of fluoridation at no more than 75 cents per resident. By comparison, that is shown to be recouped every year due to decreased medical bills. Perhaps they should contact other cities and regions on environmental impacts. Orleans and Ottawa are upstream dumping on us, if it is of issue. The cost and environmental explanations are just shiny objects and key jangling. Where did $500,000 come from as a cost? That is nowhere, in any data I have run across. And when I used 75 cents that was a big over estimate, it might be 35 cents, which is the average cost. FLUORIDE: THE MAYOR HAS IT WRONG I would urge residents to research for themselves, on recognized authority sites. But most of all, ask a dentist or hygienist. Brushing teeth had more to do with gum disease and minimal impact on cavities. Chlorine is in our tap water and has a much more dangerous history of effects on health, as well as environment. Why is chlo- rine permitted and fluoride not? Perhaps the fear campaign from misinformation fanners hit home here. The Mayor’s response clearly and politi- cally hinted nothing would change. Pat Egan Rockland EVIDENCE AGAINST FLUORIDATION OF WATER corrosive acid captured in the process of scrubbing the smoke stacks of the phos- phate industry. For some unknown reasoning of our politicians, the idea of the dilution of this toxic by-product is deemed safe to put in our drinking water if diluted enough.
Letter to the editor On behalf of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 554 Rockland, I wish to convey my sincere thanks to all those that took part in our Remembrance Day Ceremony on November 11 at the Cenotaph in Rockland. Particularly, I would like to thank May Ferrara for representing all of the Silver Cross Mothers, Jean-Marc Lalonde who represented The Honourable Francis Drouin, André Lalonde who represented The Honourable Amanda Simard, Cla- rence-Rockland mayor Guy Desjardins, all the organizations and businesses that generously laid wreaths during the cere- mony and finally Club Powers (Knights of Columbus) for their generous donation of the use of the upper hall for our luncheon. In addition, I would like to thank the city of Clarence-Rockland for their support with the supply of the PA system and chairs for the Ceremony.
Today we were also treated to a flight from a squadron of CF-18 Hornets. Thanks to Stanley Horton, our Sgt-at- Arms who organized the parade and all those that marched along with the 832 Twillick Air Cadet Band and Legion and Cadet colour party. Last but not least our thanks go out to the Ontario Provincial Police and the Cla- rence-Rockland Fire Fighters Association for their assistance with our parade from and to Club Powers. Without their help this parade would not be possible. We thank everyone that returned to Club Powers, enjoyed the lunch, and hope you will return again next year.

Letter to the editor I’m writing to express my opinion about an article printed last week about fluoridating our drinking water. I moved to Rockland because there is no fluoridation program in this smart town. The evidence is overwhelmingly against the fluoridation of the planet’s drinking water. The most advanced countries in the world refuse the fluoridation of their water supply. The United States is the exception to the rule because of the lobbyists promoting the phosphate companies’ interests. The main fluoride that is added into drinking water is not a natural compound found in nature, it is not pharmaceutical grade fluoride. It’s Fluorosilicis Acid, (google it). It’s a
The parts per million (PPM) of fluoride added in drinking water is way above the natural occurring levels in nature and cause many anomalies such as arthritic pain, bone disorders, lower IQ’s and shorter life spans. At the age of 60 I’ve come to believe that we can’t just accept what the government and politician and media tell us about what is good for us. The amount of information avai- lable to the population today is immense and should be used to make our own decisions. As a taxpayer in a free country I don’t want my government telling me I have to take what they deem a medicine they think is good for me. That is my choice. And I definitely don’t need a class action lawsuit against the brilliance of our City of Rockland to not fluoridate our drinking water. Research the information yourselves.
