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.

Thanks for helping after accident
I was involved in a one-car accident on Cranston Road on June 23. After flipping and rolling my car, my first image and audio was a man asking me if I was OK. I later learned he was “Mr. Stacey,” whose parents ran Stacey Grocery for so many years on Cranston Road.

Area has many existing attractions
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.

Drugs are evidence of underlying problem
Kentucky has only recently got a taste of the drug problem big cities have. When you’re watching someone you love slowly kill themselves with pills, it’s easy to blame the dealers or “doctors” in Florida doling out the stuff like it’s candy.

Many benefits of Rails to Trails
The Rails to Trails would be the most inclusive family activity that could ever be completed in Rowan County or this region. I want to elaborate on some of the positives relative to the Trails that you can seek from your Internet service or from other individuals that have previous experience with Trails in proximity to our state.
