Thank you to all who took part in dinner





To all the participants, the hosts, the helpers, the members of the entertainment, the staff of Woodrow Wilson High School, the political luminaries in attendance, the sponsors, the restaurants, our own YMCA super staff and everyone else who was a part of our recent 27th Annual International Dinner: A tremendous thank you! We feel that this dinner was a success due to your gracious and bountiful energies, efforts, tasty dishes and love. We cannot express fully enough how touched we are at the fabulous arrays and energetic toil shown.

Funds collected will come right back to the community as well as being sent to a YMCA World Service Program. We here at the YMCA take our commitment to high ideals of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility most seriously, and appreciate it greatly when we can be of service to you, and the members of this wonderful community.

We build strong kids, strong families and strong communities.

Why all the uproar over Beech Ridge windfarm?





OK, here we go. For the love of me, I can’t understand why some people in “hysterical” Lewisburg are so upset over the windfarm on Beech Ridge in the western end.

The uproar surprises me: 99 percent of the time we don’t exist over here. We have always been considered the ugly stepchild.

The area in question was raped by clear-cutting years ago. Logging is still going on there. I invite anyone from the eastern end to come over and I personally will take them on a guided tour to show the devastation of our mountains. It doesn’t make a pretty sight especially in winter.

My goodness, I hope that all those “tourists” that are driving over Cold Knob and Beech Knob don’t get run over by any logging trucks.

I wonder, is the western Greenbrier power plant next on the agenda? I sure hope those smokestacks aren’t visible to people in the eastern end.
