I read with interest the story on the Symmes Creek Preservation Committee and their work on cleaning and removing log jams to make the creek free flowing and self cleaning,

And it occurred to me that they held their monthly meetings on the banks of Storms Creek which needs the same attention.

Had Storms Creek been “snagged” and cleared of log jams perhaps the recent devastating flooding could have been avoided.

The people who live along the banks may want to look into forming a Storms Creek Preservation Committee.

The CAO may also be interested and could help get funding.
