While reading the Courier I had a crazy idea pop into my head. After thinking about the idea I could not decide which side of the topic I was on and decide I need to obtain more information to make a decision. The crazy idea was; "Should the City of Winfield consider a new location to build a new fair...

The recent decision to purchase AIMSWeb by USD 465 and abandon MAPS will allow more regular testing. MAP testing was once or twice a year. Of course, students who are not meeting the standard should have tests to determine what they do not know. AIMSWeb is noted in the Courier as providing frequent an...

It seems awful to me that mail in a Winfield neighborhood is being held for "ransom" at the post office, ransom payment being "construct a curbside mailbox" or the mail carrier will not pickup or deliver mail to your house or else pickup your mail at the post office or rent a PO Bo...

I am very surprised the picture of the mayor dressed as a woman included the name that was printed. Does anyone know what the name "Smellishis Poon" refers to? Wow! -- Edited by BASSPIILOT at 07:14, 2008-09-30

Okay. Someone had to start it. I am thrilled that Winfield passed the smoking ban. I don't like to have my daughter around smoke and we do not go to many places where you can smoke. I am an ex-smoker but I cannot understand why people cannot wait until after they leave the restraunt to smoke. I don't want to...

While I appreciate the city's efforts to 'encourage' property owners to clean up their properties thru nuisance orders and condemnations, I find it totally unacceptable that the city manager's house, located on one of the busiest streets in Winfield, has been allowed to look unkept and trashy for...

I just wanted to ask everyones opinions on the recent case of Thomas Pennycuff in our county. This individual has obviously commited the crimes, but the county attorney is "pondering" weather to prosecute or not. Did we not learn anything with the Justin Thurber case????????? This guy i...

Last weekend we had the privilege of driving through the Isle of Lights once again. I am so proud of my home town and what you have done with Island Park, which I believe is probably the neatest park in the whole world anyway. We moved away from the Winfleid area almost 40 years ago, but we still make the t...

If there were a fly on the wall of any given household in Cowley County, it would soon realize that nearly everybody has an opinion about whats going on in the world, and how it affects each of us. If that fly recorded all the opinions in one place for all to read, youd find out that most of us have a lot in co...

How very sad this day has ended with the loss of our donated children's playground. Think of our community volunteer hours as well as donated funds for equipment.

The mayor of Coffeyville is a relative of Gail McPherson and her sister, Karen Horn. A source there said he had done a fine job of calming the crowd at a recent town meeting that followed the flooding. When a woman shouted angrily and was escorted out, Mayor Horn took the microphone and admonished the...

I found out that there would not be a spook parade this year. There has been one every year since I have been here and that has been 17 years. I know people complain and say they aren't going to do it again the next year, but then the year comes around and there they are. It is not a lack of people to go. The kids l...

The WHS & WMS were both evacuated again today. This time they are blaming a "threatening" or "suspicious" phone call received this morning. So, was it a bomb threat? Or was it something else? Why can't they just tell us what happened? Am I the only one that thinks the press r...

What is the law regarding how long a train can block a main road? It is ridiculous how long main st is blocked by the train.

Hello I am looking for information on three Winfield H.S. Students who passed away in 1962. My reasoning for this is that in Arizona I purchased two 1960's era yearbooks for the Winfield Junior and Senior H.S. Both yearbooks were for the classes of 1962 and 63 classes. In the 1963 yearbook there was a me...

So, does anyone else think having two Subway restaurants so close to each other is pointless? In my opinion, the only benefit is having a drive-thru window.

It sure would be cool to see the desolation of the gutted Wal-Mart at about closing time Tuesday. I went by yesterday and it looked like a stripped out soviet era "department store" in the gulag.

I guess the city is trying to pass a cat law soon. Have to license cats and put a collar and tags on them. Have you ever heard of anything so stupid. What is the point? So that the cat that poops in your flower bed will be licensed to do so? It must be a way for the city to make money cause it make no sense o...

Hello, I am a student at WHS, and I was wondering; at the basketball game last night there were two guys that were arrested.

Why is it that people here are so against progress & change? Don't you see that new businesses will bring more money to your town & more jobs?
