LETTER TO THE EDITORJuly 22, 2012Dear Mr. Kinner,Briefly let me state for the

purpose of a formal introduc-tion that I’m a member of the Moorish Science Temple of America, Inc.--Institutional Branch Temple #43 at GRCC. I’m the Acting Secretary and Treasure. I did 101/2 years at EkCC (from 2000-2012), so I’m familiar with West Liberty, Ky. and the pride and determi-nation of it’s people.

On behalf of the Moorish Science Temple at this locale, we send our condolences in the wake and aftermath of the pow-erful tornado and storms that occurred March 2 of this year.

At the moment the Moors at this locale are attempting to sit down with the administra-tion so they can have a better understanding of our purpose as an organization.

In the mean time we have been working with our case-

worker in trying to get the name of the locale official manager of the Red Cross--American Red Cross Mideast Ky. Chapter, 450 Prestonsburg Street, West Liberty, Ky. 41472. If you could provide me with his/her name I can continue to do my part in gathering up support among the organizations at this location and encouraging them to send some monetary aid.

We will try to rally support from the institutional organiza-tions here on behalf of the men, women, and children who have suffered enough pain and loss and continue to struggle through these uncertain times over there.

Sincerely,Mr. Kimongtay Smith

Hello from Judge Tim Con-ley, wife Tammy, staff and employees,

Last Sunday after church we all gathered in at my father and mother-in-law’s, Carl and Betty Fannin, to have dinner, no special occasion, just sat under the shade tree and fel-lowshipped with one another. This takes me back to my early days up Honeymoon Hollow. Sundays were set aside for the Lord’s Day. Other than Mommy and the girls fixing dinner there was not much to be done, Daddy fed the animals, we went to Sunday school and church, then Mommy would have a big din-ner for all the family. Mommy and Daddy would then go visit with the sick, either at home or at the hospital and nursing home. Us younger ones then would sit on the porch or play games or maybe if we were old enough we would go down to Uncle Bad Hair’s where every-one came to play softball. Every community had a place to gather and play; also, we would meet at the church and play softball or volley ball until time for youth meeting, then we would finish our day sitting around talking and playing, knowing that Monday would start an-other week of work, school, etc. Think back about your Sunday’s and how you spent them. For us up Honeymoon Hollow they were slower, simpler days full of fried chicken and Mommy’s homemade biscuits and time to talk to each other. A day of rest and play, a day to enjoy what God had given us, a day to be thankful!!

You can reach me at 450 Pre-stonsburg Street, West Liberty, KY 41472 or telephone: (606) 743-3897.
