PDN: Fluoridation ends in Port Angeles; advisory vote to be on ballot in 15 months The Port Angeles City Council has voted to end fluoridation of municipal water and conduct a vote Nov. 7, 2017.
Quote from article: Eloise Kailin of Sequim, president of the anti-fluoridation group Our Water, Our Choice!, said Downie’s proposal “merits support.” But an advisory vote “is a pointless, painful and divisive exercise,” Kailin said in a prepared statement, and hinted at further protests from fluoridation foes.
Editorial note: Now, Eloise are we being unreasonable here? I see it as a win on the anti-fluoride side, at least we may finally put this to rest, this should have been done years ago. And, I thought the other side had qualms about a public vote, looks now some on the anti-fluoride fence as some fears over a vote....What do you think?

God Is!
Most people, at some time in their lives, wonder about the existence of God. Many refuse to believe in God, because they do not want to obey Him. Some have doubts because the Bible says they cannot see God. Still others claim to believe in God, but they live as though He does not exist. How can you be sure whether or not there is a God?---Gospel Minutes
