    My fellow citizens: last April, there was a tragic accident at the Navy range on Vieques. I mourned the loss to the family of David Sanes (SAN-ness), and the suffering of the others injured that day. That terrible accident focused attention on the longstanding concerns of the island about training operations there. For many residents, it re-opened old wounds about the effect that training was having on quality of life.
