Column Missed Point of Neighborhood Watch

* Woodland Hills Neighborhood Watch block-captain meetings are attended by public-spirited citizens of our community who are really making this place a better place to live, and we are proud of it. And Councilwoman Laura Chick’s presence this month was a great boost, honor and benefit.

It was unfortunate that Scott Harris’ column “We Don’t Need Guns To Be Safe--Or Do We” (May 11) dwelt on everything but what we are trying to do.

Maybe if Mr. Harris lived in our community he would join us in our challenge, instead of referring to it as “humdrum.” Such remarks are very divisive and send the wrong message to your readers. I hope next time he will join us in our cause, and the mayor’s cause.
