On May 10th, 2016 there was a knock on my front door. I was expecting somebody. Kait Parker and her team from the Weather Channel had arrived via New York to do a story on the St Lucie River/Indian River Lagoon.
The group was upbeat and friendly. They interviewed Ed and me in our kitchen, and later we took them up in both the Cub and the Baron to shoot footage and to get “the view.” –The aerial view of the discharges from Lake Okeechobee that had started this year on January 29th.
What really struck me about Kait was that although this Texas girl’s beauty, talent, and ambition had moved her beyond the Treasure Coast to Atlanta’s Weather Channel, (Kait had been a well-known and loved meteorologist for three years at WPTV, the West Palm Beach/Treasure Coast NBC affiliate), she had come “home” to see what the heck was going on. She, as so many others, had heard the horrible stories of destruction facing the St Lucie River/Indian River Lagoon.
I commend Kait for coming back to see for herself and for using her fame to share our story with others. This gesture will not be forgotten and “Toxic Lake” is already making waves! Waves of change.
Thank you Kait.

Reblogged this on Jacqui Thurlow-Lippisch and commented:
Corrected name: KAIT PARKER!
Good piece. Hope it gets shown over and over, and over. I’ve not been paying attention to where we are lately with any progress with our lawmakers…it might be a good time for an update for your readers to get us ready for more action.
Will get to !!! Good idea.
Jacqui, as always it was satisfying to be part of a documentary with you, seems like too many of these lately doesn’t it? Kait is a pro, and genuinely troubled by what has happened here again and again in her former back yard.
HI Mike! Yes we are together many times! One day hopefully for the better. Kati cares and that is what is going to change all this. People with her ability to share on such a wide level.
