Bunting Visits For Ceremony

Bunting Visits For Ceremony

Former Virginia Military Institute superintendent Lt. Gen. Josiah Bunting III greets a guest at a ceremony last month recognizing his recent contributions to VMI’s archives. Twenty-six containers of Bunting’s papers, ranging from his time as a VMI cadet in the 1960s through 2020, were donated to VMI. Bunting served as VMI’s superintendent from 1995 to 2003 and oversaw the school’s transition to coeducation. For the story on his papers and his visit to Lexington, see page B7.

Trouble At The YMCA

Trouble At The YMCA

If nothing else, the YMCA of Virginia’s Blue Ridge has a serious public relations problem with regards to our local branch, the Rockbridge Area YMCA. Two actions the YVBR has taken this year has left us and many Rockbridge area citizens wondering if our local Y has lost all vestiges of control of our local Y’s operations. 05/03/2023 12:00 AM

‘I Mourn For Our Regressive Leaders’

May 1, 2023 Editor, The News-Gazette: “Let’s take a moment right now to kill that cow. DEI is dead,” said Martin D. Brown, who was appointed by Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) in November. “We’re not going to bring that cow up anymore. It’s dead.” 05/03/2023 12:00 AM

Memorial Placement Vote Comes As Surprise

Memorial Placement Vote Comes As Surprise

April 28, 2023 Editor, The News-Gazette: The recent vote by the Lexington City Council to facilitate the placement of a war memorial at Jordans Point Park came as a surprise to me. It seems like there was very little thought or discussion about this before the vote to approve. 05/03/2023 12:00 AM

Jordans Point Park Not ‘Right Place’ For Memorial

Jordans Point Park Not ‘Right Place’ For Memorial

May 1, 2023 Editor, The News-Gazette: While the Gold Star monument is attractive and poignant and serves a noble cause, I do not feel that Jordans Point Park is the right place for it due to these concerns: — It is disturbing that this tiny natural oasis is going to be transformed with marble and five tons of concrete. Coming after the recent tree cutting fiasco, it feels like an additional affront. How much green will be destroyed for this? With more projects slated to follow such as a gazebo, playground, and possible sports courts, will the park have any natural elements left? We can’t afford to lose any more green space. 05/03/2023 12:00 AM

Additional Thought Needed On Memorial

Additional Thought Needed On Memorial

May 1, 2023 Editor, The News-Gazette: Given the recent atmosphere of outrage and anger over memorials placed in public spaces, one would have expected City Council to have at least paused to think, and perhaps seek some public input, before giving their blessing to the Keuhners’ request to place a memorial to Gold Star Families at Jordans Point. 05/03/2023 12:00 AM
