PIKEVILLE — Community members are invited to participate in a meeting to plan for a regional Prayer Against Illegal Drugs rally to be held later this year.

The planning meeting will be held at 11 a.m., Thursday, at the Garfield Community Center, located next to the Pikeville City Park.

Citizens from across southern and eastern Kentucky will be asked to unite in prayer for guidance in addressing issues related to substance abuse at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 18.

Rallies with special speakers will be conducted simultaneously at the Eastern Kentucky Expo Center in Pikeville and at the Victory Christian School Auditorium in Somerset. Those unable to participate in the rallies will be asked to pause for a moment of individual devotions.

For more information about the planning meetings call (866) 678-6483. For information about UNITE visit their website at www.operationunite.org.

Well, good luck with that prayer thing. If we ever get serious about eradicating this pill plague, a better tactic might be to start identifying the cause of death of the 1/2 dozen or more ODs listed in the WDN obits each month. Of course, it's nice to know that the departed was a faithful member of the possum holler church of god (true or not)---but that won't stop anyone from snorting up a big lortab or Xanex at every opportunity. Posting the KNOWN cause of death might get thru to some of the brighter abusers, the ones whose IQs are higher than the number of teeth they have left. Also, why not identify the pill docs who eagerly provide the means to the end. Yes, I understand that pill docs are rolling in dough and can spend a lot on media ads and political contributions. I get so tired of all the useless blather, while people are dying in obscene numbers. You good folks keep right on calling it "meds" if it makes you feel better about yourselves---it's DOPE and it kills morons!
