Clowns Of The Town
I`ve lived here now for several years after moving down from New York and I can`t figure out why people let thair elected officals get anything thay want.
No one ever challenges any Officals even if thay kill someone” its like the gangster`s in Al Capones day what ever is decided by the Officals goes uncontested.
I use to think it was because people was affraid of thair elected officals then I figured it out **removed for being insulting to others**
I heared that thair was a meeting about extending the city limits out to the High School but the funny thing is accordin to Kentuckys laws its stated that everyone in the vicinety affected by the action, Must be contacted by written noitce or I should say certified mail if any person around here knows what it means and allowed to respond in person at the meeting and so on.
Im not here to give a lecture on Ky laws concerning such things because I don`t really care if the people at the high school can`t figure out how to stop it.
Thay need to leave it up to the smart people like Brad Collins and the such.
**removed for being insulting to others** well rowan county high people I hope your happy **removed for being insulting to others**
Hope you like your big Raises you got. HAHAHA Tally Ho!
EDITOR HERE: we are pretty forgiving, when it comes to moderating comments, but pure, outright insults aimed at another person or group of people just won’t be tolerated. That is why sections of your post were removed.

So New-Yorker,how do we oust our non-existent ones? or create them?
The opening and closing of your comment is what I find sort of funny as I don’t see many teachers with “big red noses”.

OverSight,
we appreciate your participation, but you need to refrain from being insulting to others. Also, it might not be such a good idea to question the intelligence of others when your own post is filled with spelling errors.
September 20th, 2007 at 4:11 pm
not to defend what he said (since I dont know) but
the misspellings APPEAR intentional as if to mock or mimic the local verr-nack-u-l-are.
One thang I uz taut in skoo was that SOME of the hill people’s pronouncement of ole’ aenglish words is actually correct
liek “hyred” for heard
rhyms with beard.
But the Kang’s Aenglish is not somthin’ to point to as some logical example with all the extra vowels and 46 phonetic sounds represented by 26 letters, not counting the rasberry pppppppttthhhhhhhhhhh!
to you Yankeee!
Go Home! now
what function key is the rebel yell?
YYYIIIIPPP no that aint it.

Well said Dave. However…
Isn’t there something, anything that someone can do to stop the city bigwigs from destroying what little history of Morehead that is left? I don’t even reckonEYES our ‘charming little town’ anymore. Oh well, IF it happens to come a big time rain while they have Triplett Creek basically dammed up as you crossed into Clearfield there sure is going to be some big time flooding for West Morehead. Men and their toys!

I know what was said, I read it.
In simple words it appeared to me as if OverSight’s intent was to motivate those people effected by the new annexation to study up on what steps could be taken to block the annexation and to take action.
I can’t remember the exact words, but I think it read something along the lines of…
{It is a shame that such highly educated people would sit back and let the city have their way without at least putting every effort to try and stop them from annexing your place of employment}
That isn’t in quotes because I completely reworded what was written, and if that is what s/he was trying to say, I agree with it, but not entirely. Even though I do basically agree that those people should take MORE action against annexation, I would have tried to have chosen other words. But hey, Sometimes we need a reality check… so who am I to criticize what was written, or even to reword it for that matter? I’m really not even qualified to opinion somebody else’s comments, but it would seem that a group of people who are employed in a certain part of the county (which is about to become annexed into the city limits) just received a pay raise and the city is about to dip into that raise, if not eat it up entirely through the taxes that come along with annexation.
It post as it was written appears to have been an attempt at reverse psychology with the intent to attempt to “fire people up” enough to fight city hall.
The employees of the area of proposed annexation ARE well enough educated that a little research and effort could postpone the annexation, and maybe even stop it cold in it’s tracks.
I (personally) consider the taxpayers to be the joint owners of public lands, especially schools, but I don’t know of a single taxpayer who received a letter of intent to annex that particular parcel of lands.
September 20th, 2007 at 8:17 pm
They either live under the rationalization of
“You cant fight city hall”
or
“We have been freeloading off the town”
or
“why fight I’m on the next flight”
with a bumper sticker that
says “in case of rapture car will be driverless”
Escaping the issue with apathy does not excuse inaction.
There is such a level of cooruption that the un-ignor-ant
may feel helpless to do anything or
that the resident agents of the establishment will just infiltrate and diffuse or minimalise the efforts
OR as in the case of the hospital union organisers their jobs might actually be in jeopardy if they fight it.
(besides overworked teachers that is that may consider the tax not worth fighting?)
Just some alternative perspectives.
September 20th, 2007 at 8:20 pm
Oh yeah I noticed that when they brought in those pipes that it was gonna make a nice water retention device to maybe get rid of some riff raff on the wrong side o the tracks? Pleas rain, frontier housing needs more prospects?
September 20th, 2007 at 8:24 pm
why cant the dang chopper be WHEELED over to an unused corner of the parking lot while it is down for maintenence so another can land???
That dont make since but I cant comment over on scanner scoop?
September 20th, 2007 at 8:32 pm
It would be better then busting up a ballgame, and would save some minutes loading the patient into another chopper.
September 21st, 2007 at 6:21 am
Are you saying that a ballgame is more important than someones life? I don’t care if it’s the 9th inning of the World Series with 3 men on base and Barry Bonds at the plate. STOP THE BALLGAME. A ‘game’ can be resumed. A DOA can’t. That’s the TRUE ‘game’ of life.
September 21st, 2007 at 6:58 am
Use some Common Sense girl! How many resources did it tie up to clear a packed football field? How much time was lost with the extra ambulance run from the hospital to the football field?
Those few minutes to the healthy are the same as hours to a person who is badly injured.
Now what exactly would hurt to wheel that chopper out of the way so the other one could land beside the hospital. It might save a life one of these days.
Would you want to ride the ambulance to the hospital and be unloaded, reloaded, driven to the football field, and unloaded again, or would your rather people take the steps to save you the extra ride to the foot field? More then a few minutes at best if traffic and pedestrians cooperate by getting out of the way of the ambulance.
September 21st, 2007 at 7:21 am
So kat, It sounds like your in favor of taking away that extra few minutes that could could make the difference of life and death.
A clear chopper pad beside the hospital would have saved that time.
I suppose your in favor of higher taxes.
A clear chopper pad would have saved the emergency crews from clearing out a football field, which I’m sure also involved locating the owners of ill parked cars and having those cars moved.
So what would a Service Pad in addition to the Landing Pad for the chopper hurt?
Is there some reason that you don’t agree that a clear landing pad might save a life one of these days, or are twisting my words in an attempt to make me look like a bad person or something?
I know that a church kicked on the landing pad in the first place complaining the the preacher man lived on the street behind the hospital and that he wouldn’t be able to get his precious sleep due to the choppers takeoff and landing in the process of saving lives.
Wasn’t the original plan to build that chopper pad beside the Emergency Room before the church kicked on it?
September 21st, 2007 at 7:26 am
Doesn’t anyone else agree that we should have at least one clear landing pad at the hospital at all times?
September 21st, 2007 at 7:34 am
DUH! OF course IF IF IF IF a CLEAR CHOPPER PAD was available it would have been the FIRST CHOICE as SECONDS COUNT. BUT I wasn’t an option. So the only other choice was the football field. I wouldn’t give a holy hoot if the President, Pope, or anyone else lived behind were the heli-pad was too have been built. It should have been built. Morehead is getting too big to just have one landing place at the hospital. Don’t assume you know what I meant. Always up for a roll in the litter box aren’t you? You’ve got 30 minutes to showtime. Go—scat—BOO! [-X :-?? :-@
September 21st, 2007 at 7:38 am
YES I AGREE WITH YOU FAKEMAN. WE NEED A CLEAR LANDING PAD AT ALL TIMES. Oh, and the other 8 of us that live in my head also agree.
September 21st, 2007 at 7:46 am
ALSO as a FOOTNOTE! NO TIME WAS LOST as far as clearing the football field that I’m aware of since the chopper had an original ETA of over 30 minutes. You could move Hoover Dam by then. HOWEVER, YOU R correct that another landing spot adjacent to the hospital would have and should have been an option. Too many things in this town are being built that shouldn’t be and too many things we really need aren’t being done. The residents are being pushed to the side to make way for all the tourism. Bologna. The common man is becoming less common and big business is the number 1 priority. :-??
September 21st, 2007 at 7:58 am
Then it was only a misunderstanding and no harm has been done. Other then the fact that I might have overacted a little.
September 21st, 2007 at 10:28 am
I think “kat” is presuming to know who she is alking to or thinks these last few posts are by the same /guy/gal by the tone.
I don’t understand why some trees cant be cut to allow other bigger choppers land right by the emergency room?
AND since the guy was like ~8miles from town and the nearest chopper was 30min. away he pretty much had to be brought to town or a LZ-landing zone could have been set up out near the wreck.
IF there is a large crowd it is a “stunt” to land a chopper near large crowds as the things are complicated machines with 10s of thousands of moving parts and require alot of maintence and occasionally some part reached metal fatigue and goes pop with all that RPM.
The State Police over 10years ago phased out use of choppers to look for dope crops as they cost $500+per hour for a bare bones chopper then. The average cessna type single engine plane from say the Civil Air Patrol can do the job for ~$200or less per hour (then) even if it does violate FAA flight rules for airspeed/altitude and such (ever see “Air America”?)
There ought to be a way to land in one of several other areas around town like some of the empty spaces next to the bypass in a pinch.
NO one that I can see was implicating that a ball game was more important, the crowd is more important and at risk in my view.
September 21st, 2007 at 10:53 am
I had read that the Original plan was to build a copper-pad on top of the new section of the hospital but as the extra reinforcements would add to the final cost that idea was scraped (after the architect was paid I suppose)
I did not know about the preacher/church factor.
I just see a row of trees on the edge of the chainlink fenced area which look like a unnecessary risk for westerly winds to break over and disable the pad or just plain
show off factor for the pilot, “look how close I can land to these cars and trees”.
(barring a unforseen gust of wind)
September 21st, 2007 at 1:07 pm
OH MY GRAVY! IT’S HIM!
=D>
=D>
Good job! 2-Shay! LOL
September 21st, 2007 at 2:59 pm
I agree with all of you about needing an extra landing zone or maybe even two at the hospital.
I read an article in the paper about one of the local churches complaining about the original landing site that tech described, but I’m not for sure if the price or the church’s protest, or a combo of the two, or just local politics as usual is why the idea was tossed.
If it were up to me to decide, a parking tower could be built up the bank beside the ER, and a landing zone or two established on top of it. Elevator to the second floor catwalk and then one on down to ER or if patient can be treated locally, to the floor, unit or ward best equip to handle the injuries.
