The editor:
To the citizens of Rowan, Carter, Elliott, Menifee, Morgan, Bath and Fleming counties: this is in regard to the “Sale to Benefit Hungry” and “Citizens Organize to Feed the Needy.” These articles about Morehead/Gateway Helping Hands were stories in The Morehead News on Dec.15 stating this group was organized in October 2009. We want to clarify that our “Helping Hands” organization given by “The Voice Program” with Bill & Bernice Profitt is not affiliated whatsoever with the group Morehead/Gateway Helping Hands.
In 2008, our family began preparing Thanksgiving dinner for the homeless and hungry to whoever wants to attend. We use our own money to purchase food and prepare it ourselves. We serve this dinner free-of-charge and do not receive donations nor do we ask for any. We feel that God has blessed us with another year of His blessings and we want to give some of it back to the less fortunate. It is sad and we pray for the elderly, widows and children who have neither a place to live nor food to eat. Our “Helping Hands” family group wants to reach out to anyone who is hungry along with a touch of kindness and a good hot nutritious meal. With God’s help, we plan on Thanksgiving dinner again in 2010 for those hungry folks and we thank God for being able to serve approximately 100-150 people each year. We want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and may God bless one and all as He has blessed us.
For more information or any questions, please feel free to contact us at 606-783-0226.

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.
