A Happy New Year to you all.
Thank you for this opportunity to speak.
1 come before you tonight as a (former)
Commissioner of Jupiter Inlet District just
completing my elected term of office this month
as of January 14, 2009.
I also come before you as a local citizen serving
the community, living and working in the Jupiter
area for more than 50 years.
I now come before you tonight to emphasized to
you my LAMENT, that here in January 2009 as I
leave elected office, the sea and in particular the
Loxahatchee are no better - in fact much worse -
than they were when 1 arrived in Jupiter over 50
years ago:
a local challenge for us
a world-wide challenge for everyone.
For us all:
a challenging responsibility to meet.

For the next 25-50-100 years, let us look forward
to more responsibly addressing this challenge to
the sea and the Loxahatchee. Let's all be doing:
"Even Better Than Our Best".
Each of you have from me a donated copy of the
book "The Loxahatchee Lament," reprinted by the
Town of Jupiter in 1999 for its 75th Anniversary
and first published in 1978, over 30 years ago.
Reminiscences of Jupiter, Florida
Where Pioneers Lived
into the Space Age
as Published in their Lifetimes
Also tonight for your information, each of you
have before you 1~ a cover page copy of "The
Economist" dated January 3, 2009, and noting "A
16-page Special Report on the Sea" and 2) a cover
page copy of "The Loxahatchee Lament".
Again, thank you for this opportunity to speak.
