December 30th, that it is. They are prepared to make the investment and ask us to live with it forever. Rappahannock residents and landowners should also be prepared either for the inevitability or with an effective defense against any such desecration of our natural beauty which God gave us all to enjoy and preserve.
We must learn the facts and as a concerned community, demand that the power company give conclusive proof of the necessity for crossing Rappahannock County, make the power company responsible to those people they would offend. This responsibility rests upon every one of us.
The Rappahannock Courthouse will be open at 8 p.m. on Friday, December 18th, for an informal discussion designed to provide the information necessary for a reasoned community response. A representative of the power industry, if available, will be welcomed but most of all the comments, opinions and ideas of those present. Without the interest and participation of everyone now, we will soon see steel towers in front of the Blue Ridge Mountains and have no answer for our children’s question, “Why are those towers and wires there. Daddy?”
Respectfully,
Phil Irwin
