Thompson Lake is man-made, supported by a dam now ancient and urgently in need of repair. The dam is the linchpin in a huge and thriving community, without which that community would cease to exist as we know it. The dam is threatened by age, neglect and by climate change. One massive rainfall in one moment can destroy everything. The total cost of such an increasingly likely event is budget-busting. Residents need to act now to save Thompson Lake. ~ Hubert Kauffman, Oxford
