The editor:
Visions of a Rails for Trails through our community, surrounding areas and parts of Appalachia seem as a splendid idea. However, thoughts of the hiccups and obstacles that have submerged for many years exhaust me.
Fortunately, the beauty of the Kentucky nature is here today! Cave Run Lake and its region is a gem with endless opportunities for all, no matter how old or what interest. There may not be paved roads or street signs, nor will there be exits for restrooms or sandwich shops along the trails. But the bike shop is already in place. The Mom & Pop places are ready to take your order. Kayak rental, hiking trails, fishing streams, sightseeing tours, picnic shelters, swimming holes, running trails, biking paths, horseback routs, boat ramps the list is endless for those willing to enjoy the outdoors!
Let's hope the planning for Rails for Trails will continue and let’s keep vision a safe & developed road free from motorized vehicles, stretching from one end of our state to the other. But in the meantime, the exceptional beauty of a “backyard” named Kentucky is here to enjoy today.

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.
