MARKETING & CIRCULATION #JMUtbt COORDINATOR Mitchell Myers AD DESIGNERS Oct. 9, 1953 Bethany Adams Bernadette Fitzgerald On this day in 1953, The Breeze’s front Christine Horab page featured a short article that posed the question: “Wouldn’t it be nice to have a lake on campus?” The article went on to mention that the likelihood of this dream Download our coming true had increased with the mobile app at breezejmu.org. university’s purchase of Newman Farm (hint, hint). As the article predicts, Newman Lake ended up being created by the construction of a dam built across a www.facebook.com/ TheBreezeJMU stream that ran through campus. The writer of the article painted an imaginary picture of the joys a lake would bring to campus; students could fish, go on picnics, @TheBreezeJMU build outdoor fires, boat or lounge on a @TheBreezeSports beach with “clean white sand to sun on and clear blue water for a swim.” Clearly, the author’s vision doesn’t match the state of our current lake, but at the time, it was @breezejmu all a dream.

Forbes.com rates states in six categories to establish the overall ranking: business costs, labor supply, regulatory environment, economic climate, growth prospects, and quality of life. Virginia scored particularly well in the labor supply, regulatory environment, and quality of life categories, ranking third, second, and eighth, respectively. Forbes calculates labor supply rankings based on high school and college attainment, net migration, population growth, union representation, and the proportion of 25 to 34-year-olds within the state’s population. States’ regulatory environments are scored based on rankings from several sources, including Moody’s bond ratings; analyses by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University of labor regulations, insurance coverage requirements, tort liability, and the state’s debt obligations; and an index by Pollina Corporate Real Estate measuring tax incentives and economic development efforts. Quality of life is determined based on cost of living, crime rates, commute times, and health measures such as air pollution, among other factors. Virginia’s scores were lower in the business costs and economic climate categories (29th and 33rd, respectively).

  • Virginia to Harper's Ferry
    Virginia June 11, 1983 Saturday(1692.4 mtg) The room we had chosen was on the second floor of "the Place" and came complete with one old mat- tress and a couple of three-inch thick foam pads. I don't remember exactly what we paid to stay there, but I am sure it was somewhere around five to seven dollars at most. It also had a kitchen and refrigerator that could be used by all, so if you kept anything in the refrigerator, you had better mark it with your name. I had turned off the alarm and slept in this morning. I awoke naturally at six-thirty, got up and ate the second half of a box of Life cereal that I had started last night before going to bed. I love cold cereal and milk when I get into town! Wrote a letter to a friend, and around ten o'clock I placed a call to my Uncle Delray. Told him to tell my sister in law to send a package to Afton, Virginia and to fill up the fluids in my MGB which had a slow leak. After that I went to the pharmacy and bought a sympathy card to send to the Grotefendt's, and a sample of a muscle relaxant named Percagesic that someone had told me about along the trail during the last few days. Bopped over to the post office and sent all the post cards and letters, and on the way back to "The Place" I stopped to see if my boots were ready.

  • Appalachian Trail 45 Miles of the Appalachian Trail Lie in Nelson County with Moderately Challenging to Rugged Terrain
    HIKING TRAILS Appalachian Trail 45 miles of the Appalachian Trail lie in Nelson County with moderately challenging to rugged terrain. It is accessible from Route 56 in Tyro and at trail crossings along the Blue Ridge Parkway: Reids Gap/Route 664, and Rockfish Gap/Afton Mountain (exit 99 off Interstate 64). Mau-Har Trail– Blue Ridge Parkway Milepost 13.7 The blue-blazed Mau-Har trail provides an excellent circuit hike in conjunction with the Appalachian Trail through the Three Ridges Wilderness area. The trail begins on the AT 1.8 miles from Reids Gap/Route 664. It continues for 3.3 miles through steep terrain passing near the 50 foot Campbell’s Creek waterfall. The trail ends on the AT, 1.5 miles from the junction of the AT and Route 56. Appalachian Trail from State Route 56 (Swinging Bridge) to Harpers Creek A 2.6-mile hike along the Appalachian Trail to Harpers Creek, where the water gurgles through the large rocks. Directions from SR 56 at Crabtree Falls: Take SR 56 east for approximately 3-4 miles. The Appalachian Trail crosses SR 56 and a parking lot is available to the left of SR 56. Appalachian Trail to Spy Rock An approximate 2 mile moderately strenuous hike from the Montebello Fish Hatchery up to the Appalachian Trail and to Spy Rock, probably the best viewpoint In the central Blue Ridge. The rock outcrop, at 3,980 feet elevation, provides a 360 degree panoramic view of numerous mountain summits. Directions from State Route 56 at Crabtree Falls: Take 56 west towards Montebello.
