For the Mountain Advocate
Police are currently
investigating “multiple”
deaths at a residence
in Corbin, but officials
have released little information about how they
think the individuals may
have died.
According to Whitley
County Coroner Andy
Croley, the death investigation began sometime
around 5 p.m. Saturday.
Neighbors say the couple’s son hadn’t been at
school for several days.
“At this point, it’s multiple deaths,” Croley said.
“There’s too much going
on right now to say much
more. That’s really all I
know.”
Corbin Police Chief
David Campbell said
investigators found the

said the discovery is being investigated as a triple homicide.
Rob Jones, Public Information Officer with
the Corbin Police Department, said his department was contacted by
Baltimore County Police
at about 4 p.m. Saturday.
That contact led to officers going to the home
where they made the
gruesome discovery.
The three murder victims have been identified as Kevin Hendrix,
Dr. Sarah Hendrix and
their daughter Grace.
The couple’s son, Jason,
was killed earlier Saturday morning following
a pursuit and shootout
with police near Baltimore, MD. He injured

A Barbourville man was arrested
Wednesday, Feb. 11, after receiving
treatment for burns he allegedly
received during a meth lab explosion.
Following a lead in the case,
Knox County sheriff ’s deputies,
along with Social Services, paid
a visit to a home on First Street in
Barbourville. There, Social Services
removed a five-year-old child who
had been living at the home where
the meth lab exploded so they
could place him in a safe environment.
Scottie Reeves, who was burned
during the explosion, was found
hiding in a closest. Reeves was arrested and charged with manufacturing meth, unlawful possession
of meth precursors, possession of
drug paraphernalia, five counts of
wanton endangerment – which
was later amended to four counts and resisting arrest.
Upon further investigation, authorities learned Shannon Reeves,
wife of Scottie Reeves, had lied to
the police about who all was living
at the home where the meth lab
exploded, including the five-yearold child. Deputies returned to
the house on First Street Tuesday
afternoon and arrested Shannon
Reeves. Like her husband, Shannon Reeves was charged with
manufacturing meth, unlawful
possession of meth precursors,
possession of drug paraphernalia,
and four counts of wanton endangerment. She was also charged
with falsely reporting an incident.
Both Scottie and Shannon
Reeves were lodged in the Knox
County Detention Center.
Knox County Sheriff ’s Deputy
Buster Liford is continuing the
investigation.
This year’s winter will surely
be one for the record books,
not only across the northern
most states, but here in Knox
County as well.
In response to the heavy
snows and bitter cold across
the Commonwealth Monday,
Gov. Steve Beshear declared a
statewide emergency to allow
local officials immediate access to state resources to assist
in public safety and recovery
efforts. Knox County Judge Executive J.M. Hall, also declared a
local state of emergency.
“This situation creates
considerable hardships for the
citizens of Knox County,” said
Judge Hall in the declaration,
“and local government has
the responsibility to protect
the public health, safety and
welfare.”

Alcohol petition
actively
circulating
BY JAY NOLAN
Publisher
A petition to allow alcohol sales in Knox
County is still making its rounds through city
voters. Commenting on the petition, Knox
County Clerk Mike Corey said: “Legally,
they have six months from the date of the
first signature to turn in a petition with the
required number of signatures. Personally,
I have not seen or heard anything much
about it yet.”
If the petition is certified, then the law
states the Judge-Executive must set the date
for a special election. “The election must be
within 60 to 90 days of the petition’s certification, unless a date is called for within the
petition.” Corey added.
The Knox Clerk noted past elections,
including two wet/dry vote elections held
three years ago, have run smoothly. Reflecting on that success, he acknowledged all
those local citizens who have worked the
polls in past elections. “Knox County has
240 election officers that worked very hard
to make our election process run smoothly.
We really appreciate all their good work,” he
said.

A grandchild, a sick day and trivia
Country
Girl Sass
Dora Sue
Oxendine Farmer
Being a grandparent
who lives close to her
grandchildren can bring
some unexpected events
oftentimes very pleasurable. All of my four grandchildren whom I lovingly
call “My Grands,” live here
in Knox County, three of
whom live right across the
road from my house.
Not long ago my youngest granddaughter had a
really bad cold and ended
up spending the day with
me. After making her
comfortable on the couch
in my living room, I asked
her if she wanted to play a
game for awhile.
We ended up playing
a game she had gotten
for Christmas called Eye
Know, a trivia game,
whose object is to be the
first person to collect 5
cards by identifying the
images and correctly answering questions about
those images. The game
contains 400 game cards
with pictures ranging from
fictional characters, TV/
movie/music personalities to historical figures/
US Presidents and foreign
leaders along with famous places around the
USA and the world. It’s a
great game to play with
your child/grandchild if
he/she happens to be
on an academic team.
Courtney, a highly intelligent nine-year-old fourth
grader at GR Hampton
Elementary, just happened
to win Knox County’s
Rookie MVP Award at the
County’s Academic Team
Banquet this year.
Pardon me for my proud
Nana moment just now.
Eye Know just happens
to be one of my favorite
games as well so being
eager to begin the game,
we started playing around
9:00 and played for nearly
3 hours stopping only to
eat lunch.
I kept telling her that
this game was providing
valuable information that
she might possibly encounter during next year’s
academic meets.
The game’s questions
depending on whether
you rolled a 1, 2, or 3 on
the die, offered a variety of
answer choices; # 1 was
a true/false, # 2 a multiple choice and lastly #3
was an open ended more
difficult one.
After going through at
least 200 Eye Know cards,
we decided to play a
different trivia game. This
next game, appropriately
named Smart A** (which
rhymes with Large Bass),
pictured a goofy looking
jackass on the box lid and
featured a game board
and two dice, one numbered and one colored.
Smart A** focused on
your ability to know facts
from 3 different categories, Who am I, What am
I and Where am I. The
colored die corresponded
to the categories of questions.
By the time we had
played several rounds of
Smart A**, had an afternoon snack, took turns
reading Little House in the
Big Woods, and watched
Arthur and Martha the
Talking Dog on Netflix, it
was time for Wendy, my
daughter, to arrive to pick
up Courtney.
I had spent my entire
day doing one of my most
favorite things, enjoying time with my Baby
Grand… Girl, that is. If
you have grandchildren, I
hope you get to spend at
least one day with them
this winter.
Whether it’s a snow
day spent baking cookies
or doing arts and crafts
or one like mine tending
a sick child, I hope you
treasure this greatest of
all pleasures, sharing time
with a precious “Grand.”

CORRECTION
In an article on page 6
of the Feb. 12 issue, it
was wrongly stated that
Knox Pawn Shop was
changing into a thrift
store. It is not Knox
Pawn, but the former
City Pawn that will
become a thrift store.
We apologize to Knox
Pawn for any inconvenience this may have
caused. Also, Jeremiah
Evans should have been
listed as the former
youth pastor of the
First Baptist Church.
He is now the pastor of
the Connection Point
Church.
What is Ash Wednesday?
Ash Wednesday, Lent,
Good Friday, Easter, along
with Advent and Memorial Day are a few of the
religious holidays that
were not a part of the vocabulary or life of many of
the people along Stinking
Creek for many years.
It did not seem to be
times emphasized by the
preachers in most of the
churches of the area.
Although I have heard
of songs composed by
local people to remember
disastrous events like a
big flood, other events
were not observed. Even
birthdays did not seem to
be an event for a special
meal, cake or presents.
Maybe a big family of six
to sixteen children living
in a three-room or fourroom house with very
little income might have
made celebrations seem
extravagant.
In later years since T V,

of us to a wider vocabulary and ideas.
Actually it seems more
of our families look forward to this time of the
year as the time when
family members return to
the home place. It is often
the first time those working and living in northern
states come home for
home cooking.
But today is Ash
Wednesday in many places in the Christian world.
It is the first day of Lent.
It follows Shrove Tuesday
or Fat Tuesday or Mardi
Gras which seems to have
become a time to do all
the things one shouldn’t
do during Lent.
Lent is preparatory time
to be repentant of evil
things that sneaked into
our lives during the winter
months.
Why Ash Wednesday?
It was the practice of
ancient times to don
sackcloth and ashes as
a symbol of complete
sorrow.
Ash or ashes is the
simplest substance that
remain after all has been
burned away. So it can
become the symbol of
deep sorrow.
The early Christian
Church used to burn the
palms after Palm Sunday
for ashes to be placed
on the heads of the
worshipers. The Roman
Catholic Church started
the observance and some
Protestant Churches have
observed Ash Wednesday
in some manner.
So this Wednesday does
have a special meaning
to some people and is the
first day of Lent, which
leads us to Easter.

Local authorities say a

girl was rushed to the
Knox County Hospital
shortly before dark Monday after she was involved
in a freak ATV accident on
Artemus Road.
Sources say the accident
occurred during a sleigh

Knox Hospital staff tried
to secure a helicopter to
take her to Lexington;
however, helicopters were
unable to fly due to the
inclement weather conditions.
Family and friends then
drove the girl to the UK

they say emergency
surgery was performed
around midnight to repair
severe damage to one of
her ears.

House unanimously adopts HB 213
to combat state’s heroin epidemic
FRANKFORT – With the
goal of sharply reducing
the state’s growing heroin
epidemic, the Kentucky
House of Representatives
voted unanimously today
for House Bill 213, which
would increase treatment options for addicts
while cracking down
on high-level traffickers
bringing the drug into the
commonwealth.
“Today’s vote speaks
volumes about our chamber’s commitment to put-
ting a stop to the spread
of this poison,” said Rep.
John Tilley, the bill’s chief
sponsor and the chair of
the House Judiciary Committee. “The measures in
our bill represent a lot of
thought and are backed
up by data and the experiences of other states. My
goal now is to make sure
these provisions remain
in what ultimately becomes law this year.”
House Bill 213’s number itself is symbolic,
because it represents
the Feb. 13th birthday of
state Rep. Joni Jenkins’
nephew, Wes Jenkins,
who died as a result of
a heroin overdose. She
spoke on the House floor
about his life and how he
became addicted.
In addition to Rep. Tilley and Rep. Jenkins, who
chairs the House Budget
Review Subcommittee
on Human Resources,
the working group that
helped to write the bill
includes Reps. Tom
Burch, who chairs the
House Health and Welfare Committee; Dennis
Keene, who chairs the Licensing and Occupations
Committee; Denny Butler,
who chairs the Budget
Review Subcommittee on
Justice and Judiciary and
is retired from the Louisville Police Department;
and Rep. Mike Denham,
another member of the
Appropriations and Revenue Committee.
Precious Memories
BY MILDRED HIGGINS
I found it while I was
spring cleaning. It was
only a tiny clothespin, but
it brought with it a flood
of memories. As I gripped
the small object tightly in
my hand, I felt the years
melt away. It was a rough
time for families everywhere. In an attempt to
bring the country out of
the depression, President
Franklin Roosevelt had
just established the New
Deal.
My father worked for
the Public Works Administration, helped build
roads and dams, and
worked on the federal
projects. Families in our
town had little money to
spend on nonessentials,
but my four- year-old
mind knew only that my
daddy went off to work
every day.
As I held the tiny
clothespin in my hand, I
remembered sitting on
the floor, my eyes glued
on an advertisement I’d
found in a catalog. It featured a wondrous “drink
and wet” baby doll with
marvelous accessories —
a bottle, clothing, diapers,
a washtub, a clothesline,
and of course clothespins
— all packed in a carrying case. I had pored
over the picture for days
and knew every item by
heart.
The next morning, as
daddy got ready for work,
I ran up to him, bubbling
over with excitement.
“Daddy, see this doll?”
I asked, pointing to the
picture. He knelt down
beside me and looked as
I listed all the items that
came with the doll.
“Isn’t it the bestest,
Daddy? Please get it for
me and do not forget the
clothespins. They are so
little and cute.
My father, a man of few
words hugged me and
said, “We’ll see.”
All day my excitement
mounted. I could hardly wait until he came
home with my doll. My
mother tried to prepare
me for disappointment,
but I would not listen to
reason.
“Daddy will do it,” I
declared. I knew daddy
would bring me the doll.
“Grace, you must
remember that daddy
doesn’t have much money ,and the doll costs a
lot,” Mama said trying a
different approach.
However, nothing my
mother said dampened
my enthusiasm. Long
before, it was time for
daddy to arrive home
from work. I positioned
myself at the window to
wait. Finally, I saw him
walking down the road.
I jumped up and dashed
out the door.
“Grace, honey, come
back,” my mother called.
Ignoring her, I ran to
meet daddy and get my
new doll. As I got closer
to him, I saw he was
carrying his black metal
lunch box in one hand
and what looked like a
suitcase in the other.
“My doll!” I cried as
I reached for him. “My
doll! I knew you would
get my doll, daddy.”
He switched his lunchbox to the other hand
with the case and hoisted
me up.
“I couldn’t disappoint
my little girl, he said. Now
as I stand holding the
clothespin, I realize that
he had never disappointed me. He had always be
there to get me all things I
needed and some things
I didn’t need, but desperately wanted.
Buying that doll meant
he was not able to purchase something that
he might have needed.
Through the years, my
daddy was always there
for me, offering me security and love no matter
what form of sacrifice it
meant for him.

Winter Storm Day 2: Transportation Cabinet road crews continue plowing
Some crews able to begin clearing secondary routes
FRANKFORT, Ky.– On
Day 2 of a winter storm
that left the Commonwealth in deep snow and
a deep freeze, Kentucky
Transportation Cabinet
road crews continued
plowing to keep interstates
and other main routes
open.
Crews in some areas
were able to launch into
cleanup work – clearing
intersections, turn lanes
and crossovers – and begin tending to secondary
routes.
Gov. Steve Beshear on
Monday declared a statewide emergency because
of the storm, which blanketed the Bluegrass State
with up to a foot of snow.
It fell at such a rate that
plowed roadways quickly
became covered again.
A break in the snowfall
today is helping crews get
a leg up on main routes.
But the National Weather
Service today issued special weather statements
warning of a second, light
round of snow late today
and tonight, mainly in
western Kentucky, and
slick conditions virtually
everywhere.
The Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) can deploy
1,000 snow plows and 385
contractors with plows,
but has responsibility
for 63,000 lane miles of
roadway. Some districts
supplemented the plow
fleet with road graders.
The cabinet also de-
ployed 17 SAFE Patrol
trucks – Safety Assistance
for Freeway Emergencies – whose drivers are
trained to render emergency assistance. SAFE
Patrol units operate along
interstate routes, parkways, U.S. 23 and KY 80.
“It has been a major
challenge to keep our
interstates and other
main routes passable,”
Kentucky Transportation
Secretary Mike Hancock
said.
If travel cannot be avoided, motorists are advised
to slow down, buckle up,
rid themselves of distractions such as cell phones
and keep extra distance –
at least 500 feet – between
themselves and other
vehicles.
Snow removal efforts
have been focused on the
interstates and other major routes. Secondary and
rural roads will be salted
and plowed once main
routes have been cleared. To view the priority network for snow removal,
go to http://transportation.
ky.gov/Maintenance/Pages/Snow-and-Ice-PriorityMaps.aspx and select a

Who’s really in charge around here?
In the news business, lots of
time and effort is devoted to calendars, schedules and tracking
different events. When more
events are happening at the
same time, the key is to cover
the ones with the biggest names
or that are most important to our
readers. 7
So, if our congressman is
presenting an award to the Knox
County Unite, it is an event we
want to cover. When the Governor and the congressman are
both being joined by over 1,000
citizen leaders from Knox and
many surrounding counties for a
SOAR summit in Pikeville, that’s
even bigger news.
So, we make plans, schedule
our days, and decide just how
things will be covered.
Then…BAM, suddenly snow is
falling over an inch an hour. The
worst winter storm to hit our
region in over a decade causes
powerful congressmen to cancel meetings. Governors change
their schedules and close roads.
Huge companies like FedEx stop
operations. Heck, even the post
office trucks could not deliver
the mail.
I know I certainly had not
From the

planned on shoveling snow this
week. Probably none of you
did either, but yet many of us
had shovels in hand. We found
ourselves moving not to work or
school. No, for hours we found
ourselves moving some of the
deepest snow in years off our
driveways, roads and sidewalks.
Just getting to work has been
almost impossible for lots of
us, and actually impossible for
others. Worse yet, the weather
experts tell us sub-zero temperatures and possibly even more
snow is headed our way!
And there is not a thing any
one of us – from the Governor to
you, or the congressman to me,
can do about it.
But, you see, I think the winter
storm reminds us who is really
in charge.
And it’s
definitely
not us!
So, I think we may need to
change our perspective. Instead
of complaining about the storm,
maybe I should be thankful for
warm clothes and a safe home.
Instead of complaining about
my plans changing, maybe I
should change my focus and
make sure my friends have heat.
Is the winter cold just numbing my brain, or am I starting to
actually figure this stuff out?
What do you think?

The Best Kept Secret in Knox County
Whether it is 5:30 in
the morning or 7:00 in
the evening, lively chatter
bounces off the building’s
walls as participants of all
ages and backgrounds get
ready for the highlight of
their day. Clusters of individuals get ready to take
the plunge, workout in the
weight room, or put in a
few miles on treadmills,
stationary bikes or on foot
around the perimeter of
the state of the art competitive swimming pool
and diving well. The building’s gray and blue facade
conceals the incredible
treasure that waits inside.
This gem of a facility is
the Stivers Aquatic and
Wellness Center in Barbourville.
What a wonderful - yet
under used by the community - resource this has
been. Cost of participating
in activities at the center
is very affordable. Individuals can work out on
their own or join a variety of classes. Seasonal
swim lessons are offered,
as well as a youth competitive swim program.
Special events are constantly in the works. The
“Biggest Loser” competition is currently underway
and has created a lot of
excitement, as well as
generating some healthy
rivalry. Stivers also show-
cases a well-used hydro
therapy pool. It is ideal for
individuals with arthritis,
back issues, joint problems etc.
In addition to school
age youth swim clubs,
the competitive pool is
used by area high school
sports teams and Union
College. Weekend swim
meets draw families from
a hundred mile radius
to our community. This
influx of visitors has the
potential of having a huge
impact on our tourism
development.
In a recent article on
tourism in Mountain
Advocate, Knox County
residents were asked to
brainstorm both positive
and negative aspects of
Barbourville. The Stivers
Center briefly mentioned
by residents as something
good about our community. From those of us
that love and support the
Stivers Aquatic and Wellness Center, we encourage everyone to come
and check it out. The
dedicated maintenance
staff, guards and knowledgeable instructors are
welcoming and friendly to
long-time members and
first time visitors alike.
It’s hiding in plain sight
at 105 Center Street!
Spring is almost here — time to spruce up your house and get rid
of your clutter. But this year, don’t confine your spring cleaning to

Ash Wednesday, Lent, Good
Friday, Easter, along with Advent
and Memorial Day are a few of the
religious holidays that were not a
part of the vocabulary or life of many
of the people along Stinking Creek
for many years. It did not seem
to be times emphasized by the
preachers in most of the churches
of the area. Although I have heard
of songs composed by local people
to remember disastrous events like
a big flood, other events were not
observed. Even birthdays did not
seem to be an event for a special
meal, cake or presents. Maybe a
big family of six to sixteen children
living in a three-room or four-room
house with very little income might

NOTICE OF

Pursuant to Application
No. 861-0504,
Renewal
In accordance with
KRS 350.055, notice
is hereby given that Ed
Gaunt, 59 Warriers Path,
Flat Lick, KY 40935, has
applied for renewal of
a permit for an existing
surface area coal mining operation affecting
approximately 2.5 acres.
The operation is located
0.8 miles north of Flat Lick
in Knox County.
The area is approximately 0.7 miles southeast from the junction of
KY 950 and US25E and
located 0.05 miles west
of an unnamed tributary
of Lick Branch of Stinking
Creek. The latitude is 36°
50’ 23” and longitude is
83° 46’ 11”. The renewal
area is located on the Artemus USGS 7 ½ minute
quadrangle map. The surface owner is Ed Gaunt.
The application has
been filed for public
extravagant.
In later years since T V, living outside the creek could have exposed
some of us to a wider vocabulary
and ideas. Actually it seems more
of our families look forward to this
time of the year as the time when
family members return to the home
place. It is often the first time those
working and living in northern states
come home for home cooking.
But today is Ash Wednesday in
many places in the Christian world.
It is the first day of Lent. It follows
Shrove Tuesday or Fat Tuesday or
Mardi Gras which seems to have
become a time to do all the things
one shouldn’t do during Lent. Lent
is preparatory time to be repentant
of evil things that sneaked into our
inspection at the Division of Mine Reclamation and Enforcement’s
Middlesboro Regional
Office, 1804 E. Cumberland Ave., Middlesboro,
KY 40965. Written comments, objections, or

But why Ash Wednesday? It was
the practice of ancient times to don
sackcloth and ashes as a symbol of
complete sorrow. Ash or ashes is the
simplest substance that remain after
all has been burned away. So it can
