DATELINE: CHRISTIANSBURG LENGTH: Medium
Beginning Jan. 1, Michael E. Ewing, owner of Graphic Information Sciences of Christiansburg, will join the commission to replace Betty Dunn, who resigned.
The county Board of Supervisors chose Ewing over Maggie Hagedorn, a Blacksburg-area power-line and Interstate 73 activist, and Carole O'Conner Bratton, an Elliston real estate agent. Ewing's Planning Commission term ends in May 1996.
The supervisors also appointed Ewing to serve until December 1997 on the county Parks and Recreation Commission. Ewing has served on the Board of Zoning Appeals since 1990.
Ewing worked as a regional planner with the New River Planning District Commission from 1990 until early this year. Since then, he's been in the computer business in Christiansburg.
Also this week, the supervisors appointed Wayne Elliott to fill Virginia Tech professor Tom Johnson's place on the Montgomery Regional Economic Development Commission. The term expires in a year. Elliott, a Blacksburg real estate agent, is a former commission member.
Finally, the supervisors made it official: the county Public Service Authority board is different from the Board of Supervisors in name - but not names - only.
The board appointed Supervisor Joe Gorman of Blacksburg to the PSA board for one year, replacing George Gray, a former supervisor. The appointment means all seven PSA board members are also supervisors.
The PSA is a separate government entity that runs water and sewer systems in the rural areas of Montgomery County.
