LETTERS
You've been meaning to do it, now is the time! On March 10th the CRD will decide if sewage treatment will be "public" or "private." If you have an opinion about something you've read in the paper on this, let them know!

If you're responding to a story (or another letter), reference the title & date. Write within 48 hours for daily newspapers
* Keep it short (150-200 words is more likely to get published) and focus on one getting one point across.
* Make your main point in the first paragraph
* Be factual.
* Include your name, address, and daytime phone number.
