ASHLAND —
Catlettsburg Elementary School fourth- and fifth-grade students thank the businesses and individuals who helped support the first “Gobble Wobble” 5k run/walk.
Thanks to race supporters Dr. William J. Short; Kilgore-Collier Funeral Home; Letter Road I.D.; Jordan Ice Co.; Barry and Debbie Knipp, KFC; State Farm Insurance agent Steve Hester; 321GOSTUFF.COM; Next Mile Running/Walking Shop; and Print My Threads.
A huge thanks to Oakland Avenue Baptist Church for allowing use of their facilities, and the men’s group prepared breakfast for the 100-plus runners. Their efforts did not go unnoticed!
Lastly, we thank all who participated in the run and battled the cold to help send our students on their spring trip. This is a once-in-a-lifetime educational experience for some of these students, and generosity and commitment to our school is greatly appreciated!
We look forward to our next Gobble Wobble!

The students and staff at Charles Russell Elementary School thank Ken from Food Fair of Ashland and David Kouns from Dave’s Lawn Care for their donations to the 2012 Thanksgiving Basket Project. We also thank the staff of the South Ashland Family Resource Center, which coordinated the project.
Each homeroom at Charles Russell participated in a food drive to create food baskets for families in need of assistance at Thanksgiving. The focus of this project was to discuss with students the importance of helping others. We also talked about the importance of creating a balanced meal and covered topics of nutrition and the food groups.
Through this project we were able to provide eight families with well-balanced meals and helped to ensure a happy and healthy Thanksgiving. The donations from Food Fair and Dave’s Lawn Care provided each family a turkey.
Steve Salyers, for the students at Charles Russell Elementary School

To our many family, friends and neighbors we say thanks for being there for us during the loss of our beloved son, Robert Ray Jr., and our grandson, Trevor Ray.
Words cannot express our gratitude for those who sent flowers or food or just gave a hug. It was appreciated.
We also give heartfelt thanks to Pat and Marcia at Caniff Funeral Home. They really go beyond their responsibility to ensure your satisfaction. We not only consider them professionals but friends.
Our thanks also go to the Rev. Delbert Dixon for his words of comfort, and Loretta Dixon for the music.
Robert Sr. and Linda Ray and family, Raceland

Congress listens
For those who think our politicians in Washington, D.C., seldom or never listen to their constituents, particularly when it is comes to federal regulations, we offer a note of encouragement.

Resentencing
The U.S. District Court of Appeals has rightly ruled that even those sentenced for crack cocaine violations before the approval of a 2010 law that restored a bit of sanity and fairness to federal sentencing laws can be resentenced under the 2010 law.

It's the law
On Jan. 22, Greenup County voters — or at least those who took time to cast ballots in the special referendum — rejected a proposal that would have allowed the legal sale of alcohol in the county by a rather convincing margin of 4,872-3,830.

On the increase
It’s certainly good news that a new report by Kentucky’s Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet has found the economic impact of tourism grew by 5.2 percent in eastern Kentucky in 2012, outpacing the overall statewide growth rate. However, we would be more excited bout the report if we had more confidence in how tourism spending is calculated by state government.

After the crash
Like thousands of other Kentuckians, we remember well May 14, 1988, when a drunken driver traveling the wrong way on Interstate 71 near Carrollton struck a church bus returning home to Radcliff after day at King’s Island, causing one of he most deadly vehicle accidents in this nation’s history. The horrific crash killed 27, many of them teenagers, and injured 34 others.

High price tage
Much has been said and written about the rapid and dramatic decline of air passenger service at the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport. Much less has been said and written about the tremendous economic impact the loss of air service has had on the entire region.
