    As superintendent of Harrison County Schools, I’m extremely proud of the students and teachers, the administrators and the service workers who are the heart and soul of the Harrison County School System.

  • Thank God for wonderful people

    Today, while stopping at Ken’s to pick up a turkey, I accidentally laid my keys down, along with my telephone and stepped out, hitting the lock as I did.
    After saying to myself that everyone I could call was unavailable at the time, I looked up and a young city police officer drove up. I flagged him down and he immediately got help for me. He was so polite and nice.
    A few minutes later, two wonderful people from the fire department came and got my door open. As I am an older person, it meant so much to me. I was so thankful.

  • Shoe box ministry support appreciated

    To the editor:
    Many, many thanks go out to all who were involved with the Operation Christmas Child Shoe box ministry.  
    Whether you packed a box, brought items for a packing party, saved empty shoe boxes, gave money or prayed for the ministry, we cannot thank you enough or tell you what a difference it will make in a child’s life.  
    I personally have heard story after story of how people got interested in the project and how it has excited them as well.

  • Not all veterans recognized in annual newspaper edition

    To the editor:
    Being born and raised in Cynthiana, it is always good to get news from home, which I still consider Cynthiana to be (smiles). I’ve read the Democrat online and in print for a number of years and last week’s edition was really a disappointment. In observance of Veteran’s Day, there was a second section of the Nov. 11 edition ‘Honoring our Armed Forces’.

  • United Fund support to Diabetes Coalition is appreciated

    The Harrison County Diabetes Coalition would like to thank the United Fund for the monetary donations we have received over the years.  Because of your support, we have been able to continue our emergency assistance program that provides medications and testing supplies for Harrison County residents.  
    Due to the increase in the number of individuals being diagnosed with diabetes, the need for our services has increased as well.  Thank you again for your invaluable support.

  • Rankings help determine schools’ success

    To the editor:
    In response to Mr. Doan’s letter of Oct. 28, 2010, he stated that Harrison County ranked 88th in the state compared to other counties. I really appreciate those facts. It is easy to understand how we compare to other public schools systems in the state., especially the systems that are adjoining Harrison County such as Pendleton, Bourbon, Grant and Paris Independent.
    All of these schools, to my surprise, were 27 places or higher than Harrison County.

  • Drivers, please stop for buses

    Do we need a refresher course in drivers ed?
    Drivers, the school bus STOP sign has not changed to my knowledge.
    It still has flashing lights to get our attention and it still means for you to STOP.
    In a week’s time, I have witness drivers ignore the STOP sign when the driver of my children’s bus put the sign out. It did not to get the drivers’ attention when they were talking on the phone or when the music was so loud the horn didn’t even get their attention.
