Dear Editor, In response to Rick Roberts’ letter in the November 17, 2022, issue of the Silverton Standard, I am compelled to correct his many inaccurate and misleading claims regarding his proposed impacts on the wetlands located in and adjacent to the 700 block of Snowden Street.

This was a completely dry weather week with hardly any clouds Most mornings were a but below zero. If you just dress for it is perfectly comfortable! Bare branches and twig time suits a lot of us who choose to be here this time of year quite well.
