Move raises concerns Neighbors unhappy about relocation of house for recovering addicts By BRAD DICKERSON Glasgow Daily Times GLASGOW — Nicole Riley was not thrilled when her new neighbors moved in on April 26.
The Cave City resident lives on Second Street and her backyard connects with the new Addiction Deliverance Outreach (ADO) House – part of the Caveland Baptist Church ministry. The ADO House is on Owens Street. “I think they should have put the home somewhere not in the neighborhood,” Riley said. She said her biggest fear is for neighborhood children – including her own – although she admitted that there had been no unpleasant incidents. “We’re just scared for the future,” Riley said. Caveland Baptist’s ADO ministry has worked for the past eight years to offer assistance to those battling drug and alcohol addiction, according to ADO Pastor David Pitcock. The ADO House has been in existence for four years. It previously was on Broadway Street in Cave City. Pitcock said moving from Broadway to Owens Street was based on several factors. One primary concern was that the apartment complex across from the ADO House had a lot of suspected drug activity and there was questionable traffic going up and down the street. “We are trying to get out of the drug and alcohol environment,” Pitcock said. He added that they were paying rent at the previous location. They bought the new home and property, which houses 10 residents. Caveland Baptist Pastor Chad Hunt said he has received a few phone calls regarding the move. “They didn’t want their children exposed to drug addicts,” Hunt said of some people in the neighborhood he’s spoken with. Bobby Esters, another neighborhood resident, also doesn’t think relocating the ADO House was a good idea. “It’s right in a residential neighborhood with young kids and that’s what I’m against,” Esters said. “Nobody knows who they are or what to expect from these people.” Pitcock said before anyone is allowed in the house, their background information is obtained. Entrance is denied to those convicted of a violent or sexual offense.
