Anyone that have had or still having unsatisfactory service from any local dealerships in Page County, email me with your story, and or if anyone that is or have been employed by a dealership that may be giving unsatisfactory service, I would like to hear from those also. Any information provided will not be made public.

What to do with Project Clover

Personally, I think that Baughn brought Tong on board for Project Clover so he can get the backing of the BoS he was looking for.  With all that behind us, I have a suggestion for the land. How about using it for a new Government Center? Like the one in Prince William County? Its just a thought. What do you think?   

Fibrowatt

Jim Turner has done a lot research about Fibrowatt and the possibility that they are coming to Page County. You can read the article at his website http://www.hawksbillcabin.blogspot.com/ .

Planning Commission being briefed tonight

Tonight at 7 pm, Lowell Baughan and Tom Cardman will be briefing the Planning Commission on the details of Fibrowatt.  The public is invited.

Former Inmates Talk

Will someone explain to me as to why the Page News would write an equivalent one page artile featuring two inmates that Danny used? I never had known before that it has been illegal to use inmate for personal use by the sheriffs department because I have seen it done  in the past.  Lots of people knew. No one cared about it then, so why care about it now? Personally, I think the Federal prosecutors now needs to check every county in the United States that houses inmates to see if they are using inmates for personal use. I wonder how many more sheriffs would end up in prison?

On an unrelated note.. The dialysis cnter in Stanley will remain open.. Good job guys on working out a deal

Proposed chicken-waste plant May Come to Page County

 Cabin Jim Turner gets the credit for this one. In his post on his Hawksbill Cabin blog site, http://hawksbillcabin.blogspot.com/2010/01/green-energy-at-project-clover.html, there is an article in yesterday’s edition on a possible power plant fueled by poultry litter that Del. Todd Gilbert is trying to have settle in Page County. Gilbert said that the negotiations with Fibrowatt are ongoing. So is this the non-disclosure that Johnny Woodward spoke of in the Page News yesterday? If so, then why does NVDailey gets to write an article about it and our on BoS does not talk about it? Here is the NVDailey article http://www.nvdaily.com/news/2010/01/gilberts-bill-aims-for-pick-of-the-litter.php.  The folks in North Carolina had their say when Fibrowatt was trying to settle in Surry County. http://carolinanewswire.com/news/News.cgi?database=0001news.db&command=viewone&id=2064&op=t

Shenandoah Wireless Broadband Authority

I don’t know if you have heard yet, but Dr. Thomas Cardman, Daniel Murphy, Jackie Sullivan-Smoot, Bruce Arnold and Attorney Mark Reed all have resigned from the SWBA. The Shenandoah Town Council had appointed Shenandoah Town Council Members to serve on the Shenandoah Wireless Broadband Authority.  The first meeting is scheduled for January 26, 2010, at 6:30 p.m. at Town Hall.  The first order of business will be to elect officers.

Free Clinic in Page County

Here is the story about a free clinic coming to Page County. http://www.whsv.com/home/headlines/81932997.html There is still no word on the Dialysis Center in Stanley that is slated to close in March. How do you think the Free Clinic will affect the local hospital and the doctors that require payment for their services?

Dr. Horng

I do not know Dr. Horng personally and I have never had him as a doctor. I only know from what I hear, mostly from the paper. Personally, I would not use a doctor who practices general medicine to work on my teeth. And, If I was not getting the medical treatment I think I should have, I would go to someone else. Do you think the $1.9 million lawsuit is a way for someone trying to “cash in” on someone’s misfortune or is it justifiable? Why would someone continue to see a doctor if they were unhappy with the results? Page County already lost a few doctors, we almost lost the hospital a few times, and now, we are losing the dialysis center in Stanley in March 2010.

BoS work session Jan. 5th 2010

I have some information but I know that there is more. Here is what I have at the moment.

Here is the WHSV report, http://www.whsv.com/home/headlines/80480822.html and from what I heard that came out of the work session, the new BoS seems to be on track. Here is a few tidbits that came out of the meeting. Anyone else that attended the meeting, please add to it.

• Johnny Woodward is asking that the Jan. 19th 2010 meeting be moved to the new Luray High School auditorium and asked that the EDA and David Tong to show. I believe that they will not show because they may get ‘blasted’ with questions. All they have to do is not answer any questions they feel uncomfortable answering.
• Robert Griffith is the Vice Chair
• Rebecca Hudson agrees to a postponement of the first interst payment for 6 months. So is she willing to renegotiate the offer, or is she just going to hit the county with a hefty finance charge?
• Henry Micus reported that the old Stanley landfill is leaking methane gas and that the EPA has made recommendations to drill two new wells.

Dialysis Center to Close

I received the news yesterday that the UVA Hospital operated dialysis center in Stanley is closing in March. Does this mean that the Valley Health System does not care for patients needing dialysis?
