8:01Your empirical evidence does nothing to support your "lesson." I called you on your BS and all you did was reiterate your little "lifelong observation" experiment without any scientific data. I'd like to see the records that support your theory that storms have intensified over the past few decades. Now, of course, your claim is they are also more frequent.The removal of gravel will

Frank Sieferman Sr and several other farmers sued the county over removal of sediment out of Cache Creek because of high mercury levels. Cedarblade had nothing to do with it. There a little factual information for you.

If I don't clean my gutters once a year, I may have problems during a heavy rain. I don't know the last time the elevated sentiment of the creek was cleaned out, but you get the picture. A big series of storms would produce that 100-year flood to cover significant portions of Woodland.

Call it what you will, Dino, but the intensity of storms has changed dramatically just in my lifetime. We receive larger amounts of rain in a shorter span of time than we have historically. That, in addition to the physical changes that have occurred within the creek (mining) and adjacent to the creek (bedded fields, pavement, etc.) increases runoff.As I recall, it was the County who was sued

The creek definitely needs to be cleaned out. Dino you are right again. Normal watershed maintenance would have dirt cleaned out and protect people in advance of flash flood.

I call BS. Intensity of storms have changed? We're talking 100 year storms, you know. If your suggestion that these new and improved (more intense) storms will increase the chance of flooding, then the one in a hundred likelihood is gone. That part of your explanation just does not make sense. I bet if we looked at the last century, we would not find an increase in storm intensity that would

The last time someone tried to even clean a little of the creek out they got sued. Do people remember anything? They changed the flood plains because the creek had changed as have the intensity of our storms. Nice to see you folks were paying attention. If we had moved ahead we'd have protection now. Instead we got bupkus and the costs will only be higher. The developers won that one!

Not to mention that new legislation, thanks to Lois Wolk, now requires 200 year flood protection. We would have built a wall for nothing and wasted all of that money. It was only good for 100 year flood protection.

8:31Those opposed to the flood wall weren't saying the area is not prone to flooding. First of all... why, after decades, did the Army Corp. of Engineers change the boundaries of the 100 year flood plain? The premise of the studies and subsequent alternative solutions never really came to light. The proposed flood wall alternative was ridiculous. The monstrous expense would only be effective if

Flood Danger? There's no flood danger! Don't you remember that Brenda and her buddies declared that we're all safe just because they say so?

How about a Safety from Flood Danger Day? The county could order Cache Creek cleaned out so it could hold much more water during a big storm. Don't people and their homes matter more than dirt?

I understand the reasons behind going green on the screen, just didn't like the hue. I wasn't kidding, but at the same time I know my opinion is silly in the scheme of things and chose to publish it anyways.Madame ABC

I find that strange as well that the green waster toters have brown lids. Holy crap Dino and I have the same thoughts. Hell must have frozen over.

The green is more Davis than Woodland. Whats happening we are being invaded by the greenies.

The green hues are from the template. I considered blue, which would better represent the planet but not the movement.I did not grow up in a green house, although I have nothing against green buildings. My Earth Day wish is that Woodland abandons its cookie-cutter approach to building designs, including the restrictions to the boring palette of earthtones. I know, I know... the irony of it all :)

Sorry to tell you this Dino, but I really don't like the shade of green you have chosen. Must come from growing up in a green colored house.Madame ABC
