board, the county agrees that these facilities are already filling the atmosphere with pollutants that are, among another things, causing a drop in visibility - plus a steep decline' in patronage - in the Shenandoah National Park.
Good News
News of a positive nature came from the Farm-to-Table program at the public schools, the elementary and the high school.
The director of the program, Trista Scheuerlein, stood up and delivered a talk on the success of the program, noting that no fewer them 300 pupils, from both schools, have participated. She held the attention of the board members as she described how the cultivation and nourishment of seedlings produces not only a crop, but a growing, healthy student mind and presence, as well.
Ms. Scheuerlein also boasted that food grown right there at the schools is being served, and consumed, in the cafeterias of both schools —adding that 200 pounds of vegetables were donated to the county’s senior center as well.
Extending her hands, as if wielding a bushel of mulch, Scheuerlein told the board, “As you can see, I am a real believer in the power of get-your-handsdirty kind of learning.”
Pro forma
The board went through the mechanics of re-electing Chairman Anderson to a new term at the top; naming Vice Chair Frazier to a new term in that job; added the new member, Eddie Wayland, to the Water and Sewer Authority and Frazier to the planning commission. Unanimous all around.
