Richmond - The Editor, Re: "What we expect to make headlines in 2014," News, Jan. 3. It looks like a lot of competing choices for the headlines space for the year.2014 is the turning point for Richmond - the quality of life in the town is in triple jeopardy.The proposed coal port is threatening to destroy the river, the proposed pipeline with the jet fuel would destroy the land and the proposed "Open Sky" regimen for the airport would destroy the sky over the town as the current "Blue Sky" is proposed to be replaced with the unlimited one.None of these operations will be insured to a full amount of the damage in the event of a disaster, so our finances are in jeopardy as well.If anyone wants to sit the hard times out on the sidelines - there are no sidelines left. What are you willing to lose?Olga TkatchevaRichmond
