Well Well, there are a few words that come to mind, regarding a rebuttal to your malicious statement. However, I will not run around half-cocked defacing the good nature of a man that is trying to save 75 jobs in a rural area, like yourself. His plans are to address every element of this closure, and all entities involved. This proposed "closure" done by Ester Johnson did not adhere to the proper channels either. So if you are screaming proper channels your statements should be directed to the Department of Labor and the Department of the Interior.

You obviously do not have a dog in this fight or you would be grateful for any help in saving your job and saving a program that has helped thousands of young adults.

The things Heath is doing for the center is what got him elected. He will probably be re-elected. He is at least one politician that is out there doing his job. He is a bigger man than most around here. He knows more about what is going on around here than you.

Thank you so much for this post. Since closure by Esther Johnson (Department of Labor) on March 22 (which by the way is motivated by wanting to convert federal centers to for-profit, contract centers) we have received many calls and visits by past students of OJC. This has kept us going. Hopefully, we will be open soon, doing what we are there for....helping our future leaders achieve their dreams!

I am an OJCC graduate and former student of OJCC and i enjoyed my time at OJCC and i learned alot of new things while there i feel that OJCC should reopen soon. Because all of the education and vocational instructors at OJCC cared alot about the students at OJCC and once you walked across the stage at graduation you could feel the emotions because not only were the teachers proud of you but the staff at OJCC were also proud of you and you were proud of yourself for accomplishing a goal in life.

i am now a graduate at Earle C. Clements kentucky. I gained my diploma and certifacate for painting. i was a landscaper. the peaple at OJCC were good peaple and if the center ever opened back up in time I probably go back to finish. I walk the stage june 11 and i go home. the mountains were nice and i would sugest this center for someone else. I wish the staff and co workers good luck on reopening of the OJCC center and it had been fun & nice ther

It's hard to understand why you would object to someone like Shuler actually working and doing his job. You happier when they are holed up their offices, not taking calls and working on something no one can ever figure out much less benefit from?
