Hard work appreciation vs. comparative facts

On the front cover of Saturday's (February 15, 2014) Reading Eagle, there's an article entitled "Living in a Snow Globe" by Keith Mayer. The article discusses the overwhelming snow fall we've experienced in the past few weeks and compares it to previous winters. Although this article is very informative, interesting, and comparative; it's missing one important thing: the people who remove all the snow. Located on page B3 of the newspaper, is an article entitled "19 crews clearing city streets, bridges" by an unspecified author. This article goes into detail about all the hardworking crews who working around the clock to clear snow from the streets of Reading and make the city easier to travel. However, one point in the article explains how people are shoveling snow from their sidewalks into the street and causing more work. I thought this article was more important than the front page article because it's about the hard work that's going into the city to remove the snow instead of just talking about how much snow we've gotten and comparing it to past winters. Snow removal workers have been given a lot of work this season, so I think it's important to recognize them for all they do for the roads. After all, it's because of them that we can drive around safely this winter.
