Your Letters
POV
Trash Talk
Marin Clean Energy, thank you so much for
finally doing the smart thing with garbage
(Currents, “Garbage to Wattage,” January).
Every time I pass the landfill I cringe and wonder why the U. S. doesn’t follow Denmark and
other countries’ example of burning garbage
underground and using the methane to heat
homes. Other countries have been doing this
for years. It would be so great if every energy
company would do this — expensive at first, but
worth it in the end. And in Denmark their heat
is free. GALE MCKEE, NOVATO
Great Issue
The best issue yet (December 2017). Thank
you for the personal coverage on our North
Bay fires. I also liked the Mountain Mania
ski article. MIKE MEENAN, NOVATO
Before Surgery
Overall “The Pain Game” (February) reflects
a good general overview regarding treatment
for the aching back. However, the physician
and the author have, in my opinion, not done
a thorough review on the benefits of spinal
manipulation treatment (SM T). Surgery should
of course be the last option when all else has
failed. There are studies and guidelines that
show the benefit, efficacy and safety of SM T.
The state of Ohio recently passed workers’
comp guidelines that say that prior to any
spinal fusion surgery, a trial of SM T should be
provided. Oregon has a similar law. But there
are no magic bullets; not everyone can be
helped by SMT. MOSES JACOB, NOVATO, VIA ONLINE
Animal Victory
Thank you, Peter Lang of Safari West (“Fire
Stories,” December). These animals and the
incredible heart and commitment of the Langs
are a precious asset, jewels, here in Northern
California. Thank God these incredible animals were saved. CHERYL BOSSIO, SAUSALI TO, VIA ONLINE
