As I read the Oct. 25 article, “Path Project,” many thoughts went through my mind. This project will impede the flow of irrigation water to the west side of Cinder Road, which I and the ditch majordomo stressed to the county officials. Our concerns fell on deaf ears.

Acequia waters should not be obstructed in any way.

Mil Gracias to Eddie King for allowing the Cub Scouts pack #60 to enter the Junior Vegas Bowl, after their community service trash clean up at the RHS Soccer Field. Also, mil gracias to Rob Larrañaga and the Wildlife Refuge for allowing the Cub Scouts to enjoy the Gallinas Nature Trail and watching the birds feed.

I am writing in response to Mr. Benito Duran’s letter regarding the proposed Cannon Air Force Base night flights over Northern New Mexico. I am certain that he believes these flights are necessary and that they will help keep us safe. However, I believe this perception is based upon a myth.

BACK TO THE TRADITIONAL TIME. We thought it was a good idea to move neighborhood trick-or-treating from Sunday to Saturday as other communities have done and, at first, Las Vegas Mayor Alfonso Ortiz did too. But after a barrage of phone calls to City Hall protesting the decision, the mayor decided he’d better leave well enough alone.
Go figure.
Now, it’s back to Sunday trick-or-treating, though the Bridge Street merchants are still inviting trick-or-treaters to their businesses this afternoon.
