Citizens League have been to talk with both sheriff W. A. Buntin and commonwealth's attorney Baumgardner. “They seem to think it’s not much of a problem,” Ayk>r >aid.
In regard to testimony from Jack Miller given at last month’s board meeting that he had sat on Smoot’s porch and heard noise from the center, Aylor said she too could hear noise of the fire siren and even traffic on Route 211 if she sat on her porch in Gid Brown Hollow. She acknowledged that Smoot is free to sit on his porch "to spy on what’s going on at the community center,” but noted that she and other League members have checked the center at night on many occasions and found no disturbance by groups using the building. “Only when the doors open, yes, you get a little noise," Aylor said, questioning why neighbors who live closer to the center than Smoot have never complained about excessive noise.
Kathryn Treanor, representing the Rappahannock Contra Dancers, told the supervisors that her group uses the center generally twice a month on weekends from 8-12 p.m. “We have tried to be in compliance with Mr. Smoot’s wishes.” she said, adding that adoption of a “dance hall” ordinance would hurt not only the Contra Dancers but other groups using fire halls and similar facilities throughout the county. Treanor said she’d spoken to other landowners who lived in the vicinity of the community center but hadn't found anyone else bothered by noise from the building. She questioned why Smoot had charged at last month's meeting that other community center neighbors are afraid to voice their complaints about noise.
