To the Editor,

I have lived up Canyon Creek for 37 years. I have only seen water come over the overflow one time. Most of the time there is no water in it. I’d like to know their idea of how it could wash out. It held back a lot of runoff when the high school flooded. How can it break with 2’ by 4’ boulders, 3’ by 4’ boulders and larger. So many holes between these rocks (leaks). It’s not hurting anything the way it is. It would be nicer if it were repaired. I hope the county boys can get the state off this crazy idea. I’m glad to see them working on the rest of the stream toward town. That’s the part that concerns me as far as floods go. My heart hurts for all the people who lost their homes and belongings. We just thank God that no lives were lost. We love Grant County.
