Dear Honorable Mayor and Council Members,
Re: Flouridation of the City of Edge water drinking water supply.
I have attended several of the council meetings held regarding the introduction of the
chemical 'flouride' into our city water supply for improved dental protection. My spouse Gail and
I are against this additive being placed in our water as it is something we do not need. It also
places an unnecessary burden on our bodies to reject the chemical without harm to us.
The reduction of dental cavities is a personal responsibility arid there are plenty of tools
available to provide the flouride protection people desire. And, there are as many technically
skilled people against the addition of flouride to the city drinking water as you probably can find
for it. The internet is loaded with such expert testimony against adding flouride, while, apparently
the American Dental Society is for it.
Essentially, we are not against any program that can improve the health of the children.
After all, they inherit the world from us and it does behoove us to do the best job in preparing
them for their future. But, there are alternatives to providing such a benefit without jeopardizing
or putting in question the health of the older citizens at the same time. I do believe the information
I find that governments in many locations have decided it is not in the best interest of all the
citizenry to add flouride to the municipal drinking water and they are stopping the practice.
As an alternative, adding flouride to the various schools in-house drinking water supplies
would be more effective. The children whose homes are on private wells for drinking water would
then be covered too, at least for part of the day. The adults in the school system that would be
exposed to the fluoridated water are not in that age group that the benefits would be negligible or
harmful to. There are many other arguments against adding fluoride and I am sure you have heard
them, but I do not wish to venture down that path at this time. Please do not allow emotion to
cloud your decision.
Therefore, as you mull this position and hold any more public meetings for this purpose,
please keep in mind that here are two votes against fluoridating the city drinking water supply,
Gail and Dick Jones. Please have this letter read into the official record of the next public meeting
concerning the addition of fluoride into the City of Edge water's drinking water supply.
Thank you.

City of Edgewater, FL
re: Request for street light at 3039 Unity Tree Dr.
due to inadequate street lighting and many incidents of
house and car robberies and case of ARSON ( car set on fire)
Over a period of about six (6) months, neighbors in the area of
3039 Unity Tree Drive, have had their homes entered into as well
as their cars being robbed and a vicious act of ARSON.
1. Around Fri, )0 June 2000 A.J. Fischer1s home at 3032 Unity Tree
was entered in (while occupants at home) purse with money, checks,
ID's, etc stolen and someone took food out of the refrigerator
2. On Sat, 01 Jul 2000 My husband and I attended the Pepsi race and
returned late. While watching the late news on tv, we heard something
hit our front window right by my chair. Jerry ran outside while I
called police. Nothing was found nor who. did it. Address is
3039 Unity Tree Dr.
3. On Sun, 02 Jul 2000 when we got up our neighbor at 3040 Unity Tree
had her car end up in our ditch (the slope apparently stopped car from
possibly going close to our house). Pics verify that. Valuables were
stolen from her car as well as her daughter's car. Residents were home.
Claimed someone entered their home. This was their 2nd robbery.
4. The resident's at 3044 Unity Tree had their car entered into and
radar detector stolen. (Heather McKinney and Rich Newell at 3044).
The residents at 3040 Unity Tree had their cars robbed as well around
27th June. This was 3044's first robbery.
5. About two years before, the Fischer's had an adult bike stolen from
their carport area.
6. House at 3035 Unity Tree (Brian Matthews resident) had Pepsi soda
stolen from his work truck parked in his driveway.
7. House at 3035 Unity Tree, noises from the sliding glass door-like
someone attempting to enter were heard (residents at home). This was
around the Wed, 18 Oct 2000 ARSON at 3032 Unity Tree.

-2-
8. On Wed, 18 Oct 2000, A.J. Fischer's car parked at 3032 Unity
was set on fire. Around 2:30 am neighbors were awakened to an
explosion. Neighbor alerteq Mrs. Fischer who with her infant son
were asleep that her car was on fire. Someone poured gas from a
gas can and totaled her car. Many people in the neighborhood were
very upset to think anyone could do such a vicious act of ARSON
while residents were asleep. The results could have been devastating
to say the least. Early Thurs, 19 Oct I noticed a bike in the middle
of neighbor Jones' lot (he doesn't own a bike). I called police who
said to keep an eye on and not have anyone touch it til they came
over. This lot was right next to 3032 Unity. The County said this
was ARSON and posted notice on their pole. No one has been arrested
as far as any of the neighbors know.
9. The neighbor at 3040 Unity again had her car ransacked and someone
opened her gas tank cover. This happened before the car fire at
3032 Unity but she did not check it out, she heard young voices with
a couple of bikes talking and they left her property and saw them
looking over a jeep on front lawn at 3032 Unity. She had no phone and
said nothing until the next morning, Thurs, 19 Oct when she asked us
to let police know.
10. We went to see Actg Chief Bennett around Mon, 23 Oct 2000 with
our concerns, requested a street light on our property, more police
patrols, may be setting up a Neighborhood Watch Area, and having the
police talk to neighbors how to protect themselves and eliminating
these incidents. . Bennett thought a street light might help as the
area is extremely dark. Neighbors kept their outside lights on all
night; these incidents have frightened us. Detective Mumpower was
in charge of the ARSON case and he came to our house at Chief Bennett's
request and he looked over our property, said that a street light
was a good idea,that was 02 Nov 2000. On 09 Nov 00 he brought Jack
Corder to see where the best position for this light was.
11. Neighbor at 3044 Unity around 28 Nov 2000 while they were out
someone tampered with their garage door. Marks were visible the next
day. There may have been another attempt of entry on Sun, 03 Dec 2000.
We need to know the status, whatever. What about suspects. Any
arrests.
Please approve a street light. It is needed urgently. Thank you for
your consideration and hopefully approval. .~
Sincerely, ".,
