Writers think Shepherd School should be Museum, home of historical society Jason Harmon and Erwin Lepiarczyk like community center idea with a twist:They would convert Shepherd School into "The The Burton Ridge Museum and Historical Society" At least two people are singing off the same page as far as the Shepherd School is concerned. Jason Harmon, has written, "Shepherd School should become 'The Burton Ridge Museum and Historical Society' ," well at least I think so." His proposal drew a second from Erwin Lepiarczyk, who added, "I agree, Jason! Many, if not most, people who attended Shepherd Grade Center are related to the Burton family. It would be wonderful to have a Burton Ridge Community Center at the Shepherd Grade Center site. A museum and a meeting place for cultural, civic, and social community events would be marvelous. Many members of the Shepherd family are related to the Burton family also." Their ideas incorporate a lot of what Tom Fisher has suggested for the schools. Mr. Harmon and Mr. Lepiarczyk do not include a Volunteer Fire Department for the Shepherd area, but Mr. Lepiarczyk does suggest continuing the Shepherd School as community gathering place. Survey is drawing much interest; voters heavily favor community centers The survey this morning is showing a great deal of interest in converting the centers to community purposes. At 3:00 a.m., respondents in the survey thought the community center idea for the schools is a good idea, while only two voted against the idea, and two thought it was an unimportant matter. Of course, the devil is in the details--or the money. That's something that would have to be addressed. Mr. Fisher is expecting money to come from grants, some local governments participation, and maybe from contributions. He says that he is getting an enthusiastic reception from some candidates. The matter could be an issue in the Judge and Fiscal Court races. To access the voting booth, Click Here. Direct comments are not available.
