Transmission Lines

Electricity is a necessity of life these days (a few diehards may disagree). The power lines have to go someplace.

Some people can’t see an open field without thinking about developing it. Cluster housing here, a mall there, and a power line to cut across the landscape. Why, they think, pretty soon you’ll have a real community. After all, it’s a lot cheaper to build it out here in the boonies than to buy up all those expensive lots closer to D.C.

But you and I know there are alternatives to Rappahannock Electric Company’s unsightly proposal. We don’t need an eyesore of transmission towers marching through some of the country’s loveliest landscape. And when we work together, we’ll work it out.

Many people already are working together, close enough and hard enough so that RECis considering some less offensive alternatives.

Working together works! So let’s keep on working together.

Another School Year

Schools are in session, and the yellow buses carry Rappahannock’s pride and future to and from school each day. Every day almost 1,000 children in the county gain one more day of learning, knowledge, wisdom and maturity. That’s 5,000 days of learning each week-almost 11 full-time years of wisdom!

With kids who are progressing at that rate, their future (and ours) should be bright.
