I have just visited your website
and was very impressed with the
scenery, culture and tourist features.
I am planning to visit the USA with
my family next year (summer 2000)
and would be very grateful if you
would forward me any information
you may have for visitors. I thank
you in anticipation. Yours faithfully,

I lived in Hinton until I was 18
years old and I have lived in
Columbus since then. Emily Keaton
Briers was my very best friend. My
extended family of about 60 plan a
reunion in Hinton in June 2000.
Perhaps I will see you while I am in
town.

Near your lovely town of Hinton,
what I can see from your homepage,
there is a place/village/city called

me more about it? Are there more

Many thanks and regards from

I was born in Hinton on October

is no longer a hospital. It was next

and just about anything else. My

Thanks.

'"WE KNOW THESE TRUTHS TOBE SELF EVIDENT..."
Property taxes support our school systems. 42,000 (plus) acres
of the 60,000 acres in the New River Gorge are now owned by the
National Park Service (NPS) and have been removed from the
Raleigh/Summers county property tax base. (Rhetoric: Your
schools would not be in need of money had you voted for the
school levy, private tax paying property owner.)
Protection of our Natural Resources: There are eight or more
weed-strangled, gutted homes/houses/trailer standing empty within
the New River Parkway project area, all owned by the NPS. I suggest
there might be some Raleigh/Summers County families who could
use housing? (Rhetoric: "We're concerned about the perpetuity
of our natural resources 20, 30, 40 years from now...") "Well,
Sir" what about the perpetuity of this growing population 20, 30, 40
years from now?" (Let ME, a private property owner, suggest what
the answer will be: "Aaa, da, well, ah, big tall federal housing
complexes for all those people on the little bit of private property
left? Abortion? Genocide? Euthanasia? .... )"
Riaht to bear arms? The federal government just purchased semi-
automatic weapons for the Forest Service and wants you, the
American citizen, to give up your guns. (Rhetoric: "To protect
American citizens, we must get the guns out of the hands of
criminals .... ") "Well, here, Mr. President, take MY gun. I surely
feel safer now. Thank you!"
Free Speech? You might want to see my cancelled checks to decide
how "free" this one is becoming. I can't afford the TV advertising.
TV advertisements helped to destroy the ranches/farmers out west,
whose land is wanted for "more parks?" (Rhetoric: Don't eat red
meat, it's bad for your cholesterol.) Who put preservatives in the
rest of my food but, okay, no more cows for me!
Freedom of Rail alert? Tell the dead American citizens and young
children burnt up_ in WACO, TEXAS about freedom of religion.
(Rhetoric: "Oh, t]lat was a "cult.")
Safe. well-maintained roads, fallen tree/snow removal, litter pick-
up? Drive down New River Road! Notice .what portion of that road
has been repaired, maintained and made %afe," leaving the private
property owners there "begging" ten years for anything that would
improve the road. Those same people are now facing the fight of
their lives to save their homes, their lives, as they've known them,
and their private property. (Rhetoric: We cut those weeds July
3rd and right before Labor Dsy) For the property owner.?
Governmental Priorities: rve been told the NPS is ADAMANT
about taking all the private property alongJrer. (Rhetoric: We
must protect it from economic deveirt snd protect the
natural resources" then justifying it with "... private property
"owner, your septic tank might fail") Tons of e-coil (feces, stool,
BM) are being poured intothe New River on a daily basis along the
fll length of the New River from properties/creeks wffhout any septic
tanks. If the REAL GOAL were to protect our natural resources,
wouldn't the priority be for the federal government to build adequate
sewage systems and/or subsidize families who need financial
I Jo Ann Roach, P. O. Box 233, 3422 New
assistance so that they could install the much-needed septic
systems?
"No oconomi¢ develooment" will be allowed along the New River
Parkway? An expansion bridge, 10 miles of bulldozing for a two
lane road, scenic overlooks, and a visitor center within 20 miles of
Tamarac? (None of which pay property taxes!) (Rhetoric: "We must
protect the project from economic development so as to protect
the natural resources!") (Give me a minute, rm still trying to figure
out how FEDERAL developments along our rivers protect natural
resources but PRIVATE OWNED developments don't0
Proposed Parkway Speed limit 35 mph for a leisurely, scenic
tourist/citizen cruise? While a speed limit may be imposed and
posted, read the WV laws! Even your WV State Highway Patrol has
NO authority on a "parkway"! (Rhetoric: Sign this easement, long
term private property farm owner. The speed limit through your
farm, you now own with the government, will be 35 MPHI) Yeah,
right! "Who ya gonna' call? Ghostbusters?" (OH, I got it! Call that
federal employee with the semi-automatic weapon!)
Increase "tourism" dollars. To whom? The controlling party, AKA:
the NPS! How little of those "tourism" dollars will benefit your local
area. It's citizens and your schools? (Rhetoric: "West Virginia
needs tourism dollars") Those federal dollars. I suggest, will help
meet the goals of H. R. 701, if passed, stands to allow one man (the
Secretary of the Interior) to by-pass congress (your voice in this
nation!). H. 701 will allow THAT ONE MAN to have
dollars to buy any private property he decides to take in this country.
(It won't take long for them to reach their 66.6% private property
take-over with THAT KIND OF MONEY and NO CONGRESSIONAL
CONTROL OVER IT!)
Wake uv. America!! That proposed "parkway" is not about what
we've been blindly led to believe. It is about "greed," control and
take-over of private property. (I.suggest the only goal is to take over
66.6% of the private property in this nation while hiding behind so
called just (?) causes that uses fallacy and rhetoric to convince us
of "need"! (By the way, what RHETORIC has West Virginians
accepted that convinced you coal is no longer needed, while our
federal government buys coal from another country?)
While THIS American citizen still has some rights in this country, I
am now forced to defend what rve always just taken for granted:
basic freedoms and rights of an American citlzenl (Rhetoric:
She's a radical, a nut, opinionated...) rm also beginning to like
that word, "Perpetuity" that keeps cropping up to justify the rhetoric!
Let me, therefore, put "pERPETUITY" in my humble layman's terms
and the infamous words of a (WV) car dealer,
TAKESI"
P.S. I wasn't around in 1932 but I've repeatedly heard that the
chairman of the Communist Party USA said that by first taking pnvate
property then freedom of speech, America could be taken over
without firina one shot (?) Hum, I wonder how true that is?
