Kanjorski will be first to jettison inflatable dam when it proves a failure &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 I would like to comment on Congressman Kanjorski's idiotic plan to build an
inflatable damn on the Susquehanna River, presumably to afford area residents
with a recreational facilityWhat's wrong with the idea? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The plan shows the congressman's ignorance of what will happen if and when
his plan is brought to fruition. First, when the big bladder is inflated and
strung across the river, it will slow the flow of river water. This will allow
sediment to collect on the bottom, further raising the normal level of the
river. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The many bridges and dams already spanning the river have contributed
greatly to raising what heretofore had been the normal bed. Years ago the
river sans its dams and bridges flowed swiftly and freely. The spring freshet
scoured the river bottom raising the sediment over the banks and depositing
rich alluvium that became the farmland we know today as The Flats. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Impeding the river flow will require raising the levees periodically until
the levees will become so high as to obscure the river itself and move River
Street to South Main Street. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Where will you be, Mr. Congressman, when the levees become so high as to
obscure the sun and Main Street is in perpetual shade? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 This isn't the first hare-brained idea of the congressman. He won't admit
to any idea of his that goes down the toilet: There's the Nanticoke industrial
park, where a considerable amount of money was wasted; the Main Street bypass,
to start near the armory, run al
