Relay success

The editor:

Family Dollar Services KY Distribution Center would like to thank all our Team Members for their countless hours of contribution & their monetary donations to the Relay for Life "One Team One Goal". Back in July of 2008 we decided to form the KYDC's 1st Relay for Life Team and we set 2 goals for our team.

(1) to fundraise $5,000

(2) to have at least one walker on the track for every minute of the Relay for Life event

We are excited to announce that we surpassed our initial fundraising goal of $5,000 with over $10,000 deposited in our account YT!!

We also had at least one Team Member walking on the track (at all times) during the Relay for Life event held on Saturday June 20th (1pm-7am)!

These goals were only accomplished thru a true "One Team One Goal" TEAM effort. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication to this great cause.

  • Bring better movies to Morehead

    Don’t you love a good movie? We certainly do BUT for me that does not include “R” rated films. Of the seven movies advertised in the 1/20/12 issue of the News, five were rated “R.”

  • Abortion advocate change of mind

    As the new year begins, it is quite common to see printed in a newspaper or magazine a list of the names of prominent citizens who passed away in the preceding year. I recently came across such a list, and the name of one individual in particular caught my attention: Dr. Bernard Nathanson.

  • Large sign is unsightly

    While driving to Morehead today, I was dismayed to see that Cracker Barrel has erected one of their typical ultra-high “signs on a stick.” I somehow thought that Morehead’s sign ordinance would protect our community from this unsightliness and that the sign would be the same height as those of surrounding businesses.

  • Political cartoon was off the mark

    I don’t know how the political cartoons you publish are chosen, but I take exception to the one in the Dec. 27, 2011 issue of the paper. The cartoonist obviously does not agree with Time magazine’s choice of The Protester as Person of the Year.
