LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor: I would like to thank the civic minded people of Shepherdstown who petitioned
the Town Council for a referendum on annexation. There were 76 resident signatures on the petition. The request was
dismissed by our Town Council. Four Town Council members changed the fate of Shepherdstown ...forever. It is an utter shame
that in a month our tiny village of Shepherdstown will cease. It will be Super Sized. Our new town--McShepherdstown--a
manufactured fantasy and historical illusion of the new urbanism, will architecturally bully us into an experience of
unregulated blasting, higher taxes and congestion. To assume that well educated people lack the ability to grasp a utopian
vision of Smart Code, because they are selfish, is mere hubris. Our town is a real gem and it doesn t require a cubic zirconium
setting to shine.There are other options to mining our hill tops for town revenues. In the interim, enjoy the summer, have
a blast.... or two or three and don't drink the water.
Zenia Kuzma, resident of The Mill House.
