| ac1974 Thursday, September 2, 2010: 11:49 am Neutral | Painteddragonfly, I'm sure the church would be most happy to do a restoration, provided you and others would be willing to fund it. A renovation is certainly a costly venture, but full restoration would require a much larger amount of money, and that is just not something that is financially responsible given the size of the church community and today's economic lows. The church members have discussed this renovation....for two years prior to beginning work and also ongoing during the renovation.

I was at the animal shelter not to long ago, for the first time. I was suprised how small of a operation area they had. They do a great service for our community. I encourage anyone who is thinking about getting a new pet to consider adoption.

It's there to make sure your building is constructed safely and has adequate exits in the case of emergency. it's there to assure that your food preparation is safe if you're a restaurant. And if you want to choose who comes into your establishment, will you exclude those who are black? Maybe Japanese (as in our earlier years) or Chinese or Native Americans? How about excluding someone because you don't agree with their religion, or their politics? You have the freedom to run virtually any type of business you like, but freedom extends to all, not just a single business owner who may be bigoted agains some other class. Respond to this comment |

| andyste Tuesday, August 24, 2010: 4:11 pm Neutral | Letschat, thanks for mentioning the Lottery. Again the General public needs to Read & Understand the laws being passed. Maybe pay more attention to these things rather than who gets voted off whatever show is on TV. I've posted this history before but here goes again. The original Lottery legislation was passed with the proceeds to go to 3 places, a ONE time Vietnam Vet payout, Senior Citizen benefits & EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION(pre-school programs like Head Start). The push was to get the lottery passed and the media picked up the term "EDUCATION" because that is what the public wanted to hear and that helped get it passed and it worked. However, after a period of time the legislature decided the lottery was not taking in as much as expected and the general budget was short so the Lottery money was placed in the general budget. When the KEES fund (money paid to High School Grads for good grades to pay for college) started running short it was decided, By the Legislature, to use lottery proceeds to fund KEES. Yet The KEES fund is still running short. The Whole point is KNOW what is being passed & don't just listen to "the word on the street" because it often is incorrect or only partially true. You might find out you really don't want to support a proposed Bill or Law that is in the news! Respond to this comment |

The money in question in THAT situation was not tax money to begin with, but money the booster club had raised to support the softball team. Do you read any articles or just the headline? To the others, KNOW YOUR LAWS! The law allows school districts to raise taxes each year up to 4% without having public vote. If you don't like the law work with YOUR representatives in government to change them. THATS HOW OUR COUNTRY WORKS! This increase was well under the percentage they could have increased.

| AverageJoe Monday, August 23, 2010: 3:48 pm Neutral | When they tried to pass the large increase 7 years ago, I agreed to give one of the assistant superintendents the difference in cash of what my taxes would have been, if he could tell me what the additional tax revenue was going to be used for. He couldn't do it, and I doubt they can tell us where every dollar is going now. I am not against taxes, but when so many of us a going without pay increases and losing more benefits every year. Why should our taxes be raised to give school board employees raises and to pad benefits? Priorities need to be set (with curriculum material and student needs being one and two on the list) and the school board should be forced to operate within their current budget - no increase, no decrease.

| Starr Sunday, August 22, 2010: 8:15 pm Neutral | Willy was my Father and I am 37 so I guess i know him better than most anybody.He was a very good Dad and I could"nt have ask for a better Grandpa for my son. I dont think he loved anyone more than him. He loved his family and they loved him dearly.My Dad was not without faults and alcahol was his weakness but theres not a person in this world that does not have one rather it be food,caffiene,shopping ect.... even though he drank he was always a good person who worked hard before he became disabled. He has many friends that he has had for 40 to 50yrs that i guarantee would not speak an ill word about him.He was always good to women and in fact was usually the one who got treated bad. He loved his wife and gave her everything he possibly could. I often would go to the grocery for my Dad,pick up his breathing medication and whatever he needed because he would not leave his cripple dog at home alone and that mostly kept him housebound. I realize there will be negative comments and it must be people who did not really know him and people automatically focus on the bad and not the good. I want to thank those of you with positive things to say your the people who knew him as a person. This has all ben a terrible tragedy and all the family and friends are having a real hard time and nobody deserves this. I love you Dad and will think of you and miss you everyday.

I have known Willey banks for years he use to "beat" his wife sold drugs, cheated many people many times becomes extremely mean when intoxicated and taken advantage of those who have "tried" to be his friend. I also know the man charged for many many years and never once did I see him hurt another individual and walk away rather than have a confrontation. So there is a lot more to this story than is being told and will come out sooner or later. May God have mercy upon them both and the police need our prayers very much because of our young and old alike have succumbed to drugs/alcohol and this story will repeated many times over until we can "stop" the backyard drug dealers in their tracks thereby stopping their victimizing and in return stop becoming a victim themselves....

Sorry to all those anti-taxers who can NEVER convince themselves of a good reason to be taxed more or at all. Believe it or not folks-all taxes arent bad. Times have changed, nothing is for free....we must spend more and if that starts with everyone having to pay a little more....then so be it. I'm ashamed that Montogomery, Bourbon and probably other neighboring counties financially fund their school system more than Clark County. The school tax they tried to pass years ago should have passed and this one too. Those who may try and speak out against this...you have no voice this time and you made a mistake the last time.

It shouldn't come down to this, but we see everyday where someone has taken advantage of the system. Each club should be held accountable for every single penny that is raised. I also think that each purchase should be approved by a committee to avoid unecessary purchases by each club. In the past I have seen certain groups spend every penny on their own children, who just happen to be Seniors..This would help to avoid this happening, possibly. This should be a public record as well. If you donate, you should be able to request a financial statement. I am surprised that the BOE hasn't requested and audit of the AD'S books.

It's difficult enough to find people that want to volunteer, this will devastate the booster clubs/teams. Being a booster volunteer is not a paid position within the school system. People volunteer to support the kids not to provide detailed financial reports. Why don't you all just go to the booster meetings yourselves and see how they are managed and not place additional operational requirements on the volunteers? Why don't you provide guidance?

| jcwils1019 Tuesday, August 17, 2010: 10:04 pm Neutral | I've wondered for years if the core content, which has predominately been a creation of the state, prepares our children for the real world. Maybe we need to follow national, rather than core content/state standards to keep our children competive. Along w/ that, we need to have our schools follow the framework of these standards, while giving enough breathing room for faculty/staff to make it applicable to our communities. Additionally, if we empower the schools to do their jobs, then I would think they'll make remarkable strides.

| amyj2005 Monday, August 16, 2010: 9:20 pm Neutral | This is just appalling Winchester Sun! But,based on your comment policy I can't really say how I am feeling because I'm pretty sure that you would take it as "verbal abuse." Just think of peoples families and friends before posting such horrific photos, they DO stick with you.

| AnitaMinton Monday, August 16, 2010: 7:13 pm Neutral | Please stop taking pictures of people in the vehicles that are wrecked....sometimes they do pass away then the family have these painful pictures to remember. This happened to my late husband 15 years ago and it took a lot for me to get over it. Please have some respect...you would not want that picture on the front page of your loved one...

| sobeit Saturday, August 14, 2010: 10:42 am Neutral | The County Judge has done an excellant job considering the economic down turn that not only Clark County is facing but our whole Nation is. Lets get even more agressive in bringing HIGHER PAYING jobs to our County and STOP paying attention to one or two people that have so much influence in this Community wanting a small town atmosphere. Keep up the good work Judge!!!!!!

| aTRUEcard Friday, August 13, 2010: 10:20 am Neutral | CaedFan, it is easy to hide behind a name and post a message about a person that does nothing but help out anyone that needs help. About a person that doesn't say a ill word about anyone, even when people deserve it. It sounds to me like you are a mother that is upset because your name is not in the paper this week and maybe, just maybe, your child is not getting enough attention. After reading your post, I would think you would say the same thing to other parents that have made comments in the paper about their child, because I do believe this is the first time that this mother has ever made a comment. Also, I didn't know Robbie was the first person to ever be held back in school? Didn't know Eastern Kentucky was such a BAD school to be held back for. So I guess when others make the college choice you will be the first person saying moving Clark Co wasn't worth the move because they didn't get go to the college "they thought" they were going to. But I am sure you are a BIG ENOUGH person to say it to their face the first chance you get. I am glad you feel good about picking on a family and a young man that gets a chance that most don't get, to play college basketball but more importantly, get their education paid for. I would say grow up, but I am pretty sure you are BIG enough. So why not keep your mouth shut and cheer on the boys and be happy that people from this town are representing this community in a good and positive way. Respond to this comment |

| cat-tom Thursday, August 12, 2010: 5:34 pm Neutral | I am very proug of Robbie. He has been a class act on and off the court. I have seen him play a lot of games in the past four years and have loved his game. He has a great family who have really supported their kids. It's a shame that someone has to get on here and try to spoil a good thing. Jealousy really eats away at some people. I really feel sorry for those people. Get a life and quit trying to degrade people. You'll feel better about yourself. Respond to this comment |

| Gone4Good Thursday, August 12, 2010: 4:29 pm Neutral | And the local merchants return the favor by charging more? You can buy gas in rural Boyle County cheaper than you can in Winchester. Why? Give me a break. Don't you think if the local merchants wouldn' t try to gouge the local buyers, they'd do better? Is that rocket science? Isn't a smaller price more likely to generate more traffic? Economics 101. Market studies. You have to beat the competition and let the buyers know you're beating them, not try to make a profit all at once and hope nobody figures out they'll save in the long run by driving to Lexington or Richmond. Compete! Oh well. Nobody listens.

| Sun Managing Editor Thursday, August 12, 2010: 9:55 am Neutral | Cardsupporter, we have contacted Frank's Donuts about doing a story and gave them an information form for new businesses to fill out, but they haven't gotten back to us about it yet. I wish they would open a second location downtown. The Bypass is a bit far to drive in the morning before work for those of us who live and work on the east side of town.

JK'S was such a unique operation. I am really surprised that the Sun hasn't had a story on the opening of Frank's donuts..and how that is going.. I know they have great product, but sometimes don't have much selection. I really hope Frank's makes it.

We need the variety. It seems as if all the surrounding cities are growing and Winchester is at a stand still, if not regressing.

They broke no rules. I have seen practically every game the kid has played and his parent's are role models for how parents should behave at games.. They don't scream and holler at the other kids, they just cheer for the team.
