LETTERS

TO THE EDITOR

The newspaper welcomes brief letters (generally no longer than 400 words) that express an opinion on a currently newsworthy topic. The writer’s contact information must be included for verification. Letters that contain defamatory comments, open letters, third-party letters, letters sent to more than one publication, and letters that would more appropriately be advertisements, including Cards of Thanks, are unlikely to be published. One letter generally is allowed per writer per calendar month.

Road rave

To the editor:

On Dec. 30, Ideatek accidentally hit a water line on S. Cedar St. while laying fiber optic cable.

The rush of water tore up much of the gravel road south of Highland St.

I want to thank the city’s public works employees who worked late into the day to fix the leak.

We’re also grateful to the city and Ideatek for working to re-rock the old road.

Accidents happen, but it’s how people respond to make it right that matters.
