Photos Can Teach Lessons to Readers

Thank you for continuing to print pictures of bicyclists wearing helmets. Having criticized you in the past for non-helmet pictures, I must acknowledge your attention to this most important area.

With all the talk of El Nino and 1982, why don’t you show the damage and extent of flooding from that time? We live behind the River Ridge Golf Course and the two landfills next to it and none of that was here at that time, I think. It would be very helpful for all the new residents and those old ones next to the changed landscape to have some idea of what happened then and what may happen now.
