North was nearly submerged.
A section of Possum Hollow Road (CR 1139), about two miles off Hwy 25E, has been washed away due to erosion caused by recent flood waters.

Destruction from the recent
winter storm and subsequent
flooding have left Knox County
road crews with a massive undertaking. Complaints of serious
road erosions have been pouring
into Emergency Management.
With numerous calls coming
in, Mike Mitchell, Emergency
Management coordinator, has
been working directly with the
road department in getting the
county’s roads safe for school
bus travel and its residents.
Currently, the department is
compiling all the information
and prioritizing those roads that
need immediate attention for
public safety.
“We’re currently compiling
numbers for Frankfort, who
works directly with FEMA,” said
Even as snow continued to blanket the area, the
soccer field was completely submerged at Thompson
Park.
Mitchell. “Once the numbers are
compiled across the state, we’ll
have to wait and see if we meet
the state threshold. If we do, the
Kentucky Emergency Management will request a presidential
declaration, after which we will
be able to request federal funds
to fix some of these roads.”
The county road department
is currently working on the main
roads. However, for roads like
Possum Hollow, where a complete road collapse is imminent
and the cost will be much more

Foley family faces another disappointment
BY BOBBIE POYNTER
Editor
A family must once again deal
with the agony of disappointment.
It’s been over two years since
the body of Ryan Foley was
found at a local strip mine. Foley
disappeared following a trip
to a local store with his father
Charles Foley Jr., and was reported missing on Nov. 7, 2012.
George Marcum, James Wyatt,
John C. Mills and Lonnie J.
Sturdivant were indicted for the
murder of Ryan Roley in Decem-
ber 2012.
George Marcum is currently
serving a 10-year prison term
after entering a guilty plea to
criminal facilitation to commit
murder, an amended charge
from his original murder charge,
and tampering with physical ev-
idence in December 2013. As a
condition of the plea deal, Marcum must now testify against
the others.
However, Ryan Foley’s family
will once again have to wait for
justice to be served.
Wyatt, Mills and Sturdivant
were expected to face the grand
jury on Monday, March 9. Friday
afternoon, March 6, the Foley
family was informed by Commonwealth’s Attorney, Jackie
Steele, that the trial has once
again been postponed.

Plans for BBQ cookoff underway
Tourism Commission met Tuesday to discuss upcoming bar-b-que festival and strategic plannig goals.
BY BOBBIE POYNTER
Editor
Plans are definitely moving
along for the upcoming Bar-
bourville barbecue cookoff.
So far, Denise Wainscott,
Tourism Director, says that
so far there has been $1,200
collected of the $8,000 in corporate sponsorships needed,
and three teams have paid
their entry fees. This may not
seem like much, but according to Wainscott, there are
more teams signed up than at
this time last year.
“They’ll come,” she said.
“We’re in line behind a bunch
of other events already
scheduled.”
The other good news is that
there are already 42 judges
signed up for the competition.
The only downside, Wainscott said, is that Tourism
cannot begin publicizing the
event until the sponsorship
monies come in.
Wainscott hailed all the hard
work and enthusiasm the
community has shown for the
city’s Strategic Plan. Wainscott, herself, is impressed by
how so many people, through
their engagement with the
Strategic Plan, have begun to
learn more about what the
tourism department is all
about.
Rather than getting actively
involved in the Kentucky
Harvest Empty Bowl event,
Wainscott received approval from the commission to
donate $500.
Upcoming events:
•Thompson RV Park yard sale: April 3-4
• Downtown revitalization meeting: March 24 at 2 p.m.
• Promise Zone update at Union Center for Health and
Natural Sciences (Ramsey Center) : March 31, at 6:30 p.m.

the trial. As part of the motion, Douglas asked that
if the live video could not
be taken at that time that
the trial be continued until
such time as the deposition could be taken.
As the live-feed deposition could not be arranged
for Friday, James Wyatt’s
attorney, Cotha Hudson,
joined in the motion to
continue.
According to the commonwealth’s attorney,
Dr. Roth will be back in
the states on March 16, at
which time she is expected to give her deposition
before returning to Alaska.
The Commonwealth’s
Attorney did not agree to
continue the matter.
“This matter has been
going on long enough,”
said Steele. “The family is
entitled to closure, and it’s
time we get it for them.”
According to Steele, the
deadline for any plea deals
ended Friday at 12:30 p.m.
with no deals being made.
Another pre-trial has
been scheduled for April 2
at 9 a.m. A new trial date
will be set at that time.

The family is clearly

“I built myself up for this,
and all of a sudden I’m
back to being tore all to

sister, Beverly. “We’ve
been there every time,
and every time it gets put
back again. We thought
sure this would finally be

“Here we were getting
ready for this to finally
get started, and now we
have to go through all the

said Foley’s dad, Charles
Foley, Jr. “We just want to

Man threatens parents with loaded needle
BY BOBBIE POYNTER
Editor
Laurel Sheriff ’s deputies Larry Parrott, Tommy
Houston, Kyle Gray and
Brandon Broughton arrested Jonathan Gray, 24, of
Manchester, Monday night
after responding to a complaint that Gray was at his
mother’s home on Somerset Road and threatening
his parents with a loaded
needle that contained Suboxone.
When deputies arrived at
the scene, they found Gray
in a back bedroom in an
apparent extremely intox-
icated condition. Gray admitted to shooting up Suboxone, and deputies were
able to locate the loaded
needle that the subject
had allegedly threatened
his parents with.
In addition, the deputies
located nueotin tablets,
Suboxone tablets, Klonopin tablets, fioraset tablets, Paxal tablets and two
spoons that contained Suboxone residue, none of
which were in their proper
containers. The deputies
also located nine syringes.

head coach Kevin Burton,
who was named the AAC’s
Coach of the Year for the
second straight season last
week after leading Union to
an 17-1 record in AAC play
for the year. All-time, this

three previous trips at the
NAIA Division I level. In
three seasons at Union, he

As a team, the Bulldogs

on offense and defense.
The Bulldogs are number
one in all of NAIA Division
II in four categories - steals
per game (11.8), scoring
margin (21.6), field goal
percentage (51.7), and total

One dumb, dangerous idea stopped in the state senate
“Where the press is free, and
every man able to read, all is
safe.”
That quote is from Thomas
Jefferson. It represents a line
of reasoning most of us would
support.
And next week is National
SUNSHINE Week. It’s a time we
celebrate our freedom of information laws, and specifically encourage all the state and local officials
to keep our government at every
level accessible and open to the
media and public.
Unfortunately, yesterday in
Frankfort, an attempt was made to
“chip away” at open records and
open government, and to shade
the “Sunshine.” An amendment in
the Kentucky State Senate, (SFA 1)
was attached to House Bill 239. Its
goal was to remove the requirement for election sample ballots
to be published in local newspapers. Some wanted the ballots
moved to a government website
instead.
That’s bad policy. Candidates
benefit and voters are better informed if the ballots are widely accessible. Plus, once published in
the paper, they can’t be changed
or “hacked.”
From the
Publisher
Jay Nolan
jnolan@mountainadvocate.com
And, because your newspaper
is also easily accessible online, the
ballots are posted on the Internet
and available for viewing shortly
after they are printed in the paper.
Fortunately, several senators,
including our own Senator and
President of the Senate, Robert
Stivers, recognized this was a
dumb idea. They wisely left the
current policy in place. So, sample
ballots will continue to appear in
newspapers, at least for now.
For democracy to work, the
media must be given access to
government meetings and records and be free to report to the
public. Then, as readers, (thanks
to our teachers and educators)
we will know what is going on.
We can make educated, informed
decisions - and vote accordingly.
Leaders who want to remain in
power will recognize and respect
the will of those they want to
govern.
We all should thank Senator
Letters to the Editor
Help fund the Nest Egg
Your generous donation
over the last several years
for the Senior Citizen
Center’s annual Nest egg
event has allowed the
Center to provide much
needed additional activities to many senior citizens in our service area.
This year, our needs
are somewhat different.
The Center, along with
many other state funded
programs throughout
our Commonwealth,
has experienced serious
cuts in state and federal
funding. These cuts have
resulted in a critically
low operating budget for
the Center. As you know,
the Center does more for
the elderly than creating fun activities. The
Center provides Seniors
(age 60+) with services
including: Congregate
Meals, Home Delivered
Meals, Transportation,
Homemaker, Personal
Care, Respite, Nutrition
Education and Health
promotion. Availability
of services is contingent
upon client qualifications
and available funding.
For many senior citizens
in our area, the Center
is the only resource they
have for these services.
While the Board continues to seek out additional
avenues for other funding
sources to continue offering the Center’s services,
the reality is that if the
Center does not increase
its operating budget, it
will be forced to close its
doors to all who utilize its
resources.
Please take this opportunity to make a difference not only in the life
of our beloved elderly,
but for our community as
well. Generous donors
like you are the key to
our success and make it
possible for the Center
to provide local senior
citizens in need with
assistance and critical
services. We hope that
we can count on your
support to help us make
this year’s Nest Egg Fundraiser a huge success!
Beginning this year,
we are recognizing our
donors in a Barbourville
downtown store front
window display. Contributors who donate less
than $100.00, names will
be Written on blue eggs,

give $100.00 or more,

Stivers regional swim meet a huge success
The KHSAA Region 5
High School Swimming
Championship was held
at the Stivers Wellness
& Aquatic Center. The
diving prelims were held
March 12, the swimming
prelims were held March
13 with about 500 swimmers, and the Championship Finals were swum
Saturday. The swimmers
represented 26 different
high schools. This is the
third year that this championship meet has been
held in Barbourville. I had
the pleasure to serve as
meet director again this
year and want to recognize the many volunteers
and supporters that made
this meet a success.
I want to first express
my deep appreciation to
Tucker Ballinger, President & CEO of Forcht
Bank, for being a major
supporter of the meet and
all the staff they provided
to work the meet. They
are true community
supporters that make a
difference locally and in
Kentucky. In addition to
Forcht Bank staff, I want
to thank the parents of
Barbourville High, Corbin
High, Knox Central, North
Laurel and South Laurel
for all their donations of
food, drinks and their
time volunteering. I also
want to thank the volunteers from KCEOC and
the Knox Central JROTC
for the presentation of the
flags.
This championship
meet takes a major effort
by lots of people to make
it a success and to show
off our area to a large
number of visitors. I
want to thank Dee Dole,
center director, and all
the Stivers Center staff for
making us all proud to
have such a facility here
in Southeastern Kentucky
that provides a quality experience to competitors.
The Stivers Wellness &
Aquatic Center is a major
asset to all of us here in
Southeastern Kentucky.
I also want to recognize
supporters that made
our programing possible: Forcht Bank, Union
College, Barbourville
Tourism, Best Western
Wilderness Trail Inn, David’s Steaks Buffet Bakery, Dino’s Italian Restaurant, El Mariachi Mexican
Restaurant, Falls Auto
Group, Hometown Bank,
The Job Shop, KCEOC,
Little Caesars Pizza, Mi
Casa Mexican Restaurant,
Mitchell Foods Retail

Applebee’s Restaurant,
Baymont Inn & Suites,
Barbourville Subway, Best
Western Corbin Inn, El
Dorado Mexican Restaurant, Kentucky Biscuit
Co., Oldway Café, Yamato
Steak House of Japan and
Southeast Pest Control.
With the continued
support of the local community, it is hoped that
the regional swimming
championship will return
next year along with the
diving championship.
Thank you.
PAUL D. DOLE
KHSAA Region 5
Meet Director
Stivers for supporting open elections and keeping ballots widely
accessible. And, I think we need
to all remind our elected officials
that any attempts to reduce or
deny public access to government
activities is absolutely unacceptable.
I think if any elected official truly
believes he or she is working for
us, they would want us to know
exactly what they are doing.

kynect offering special enrollment period
Governor Steve Beshear recently
announced that a special enrollment
period for the Kentucky Health Benefit
Exchange (kynect) will begin March 2
and continue through April 30, to allow
citizens unaware of possible tax penalties
more time to sign up.
More than 158,000 Kentuckians signed
up for health coverage during open
enrollment from November 15, 2014
through February 15, 2015.
“We had a tremendously successful
second open enrollment period, with
many new individuals signing up or
continuing their health coverage through
kynect,” said Gov. Beshear. “However,
we believe that many Kentuckians did
not realize those who do not obtain
health coverage could face significant
penalties when they file their taxes. And
IRS withholding penalties
for no insurance
given that the personal risks of not having
health coverage are even greater than the
penalties, we have decided to continue a
special enrollment period to allow those
individuals more time to sign up.”
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
penalty for not having health insurance
for the 2014 calendar year is 1% of income or $95 for each household member, whichever is greater. That penalty
will increase in 2015 to 2% of income
or $325 for each household member,
whichever is greater.
Individuals taking advantage of this
special enrollment period will still owe a
fee for any months they were uninsured
and did not qualify for an exemption in
2014 and 2015. This special enrollment
period is designed to allow people the
opportunity to get covered for the remainder of the year and avoid additional
fees for 2015.
“This penalty does not apply to people
that receive or are eligible for Medicaid,”
said Whitney Allen, kynector with the
Office of the Kentucky Health Benefits
Exchange. “For those that have to pay
the penalty, the money will be directly
deducted from their income tax returns.
This is not something that will be billed to
the person.”
Grace Community Health Center
has offered free assistance to citizens
throughout the region as they enroll in
health insurance through kynect.
Kynectors and in-person assisters from
Grace Community Health Center are
available to meet one-on-one to help
people with their kynect applications.

(606) 515-8843

•In Clay & Leslie Counties, call Jennifer Gates at (606) 595-8868

Secrets to a
Happy Life
BY JOAN SCHLESING
For the Mountain Advocate
She was born on November 23, 1912 and she
shares her pearls of wisdom with any visitor who
comes her way.
Think about stopping by
for a visit to see Bessie or
some of the other residents! You will be blessed.
Our society is obsessed
with youth, and we are
missing out when we fail
to spend time with senior
citizens who carry wisdom deep within.
I know this because I
serve as Chaplain at Christian Care Communities,
and have the opportunity
to visit the oldest of the old
on a regular basis. That’s
what Bessie Williams is . .
.the oldest of the old.
She is our oldest resident and during a recent
visit she shared a few
thoughts about life. Yesterday, on her 103rd birthday
I asked her how she felt.
She responded, “I’m
a young sprout hopping
around all over the place
BESSIE WILLIAMS
in my mind.” She also told
me that she keeps her
mind focused on positive
things, including fishing,
which she highly recommends as a leisure activity.
She admits without a bit of
guilt that she eats chocolate every day, and I’ll tell
you it really seems to be
working for her.
She said the secret of
a happy life is, “Do what
you want to do whether it
seems silly to anyone else
or not.”
Bessie has a vivid imagination and uses it wisely,
including in her younger
Lynn Camp announces
Child Victim Outreach
Program
years when she wrote
lovely poems, like this one
called, “The Last Mile.”
“The present time is mine
to see just what my future
life will be; the way I live
from day to day; the way I
speak, the way I pray. So
in the NOW I’ll walk along,
and breathe a prayer, and
sing a song: and know full
well where’er I go that I
will reap just what I sow!”
Bessie uses her imagination and turns unpleasant
thoughts or images into
pleasant ones. Sort of like
the old adage “when life
gives you lemons, make
lemonade. “
When I left Bessie’s
room I said, “Bessie, I’m
glad you’re having a good
day.”
She responded, “It
seems to me like every
day is a good day!” Thank
you, Bessie, for sharing
your wisdom with us!
Happy Birthday to you!
Is your life giving you
lemons? Take them with
you to a visit with someone over 80 and you’ll
walk out with lemonade!

Knox County Sheriff Mike Smith announces the partnership between the
Knox County Sheriff ’s Department and
Lynn Camp High School Youth Service
Center Coordinator Darya Logan to create a Child Victim Outreach Program.
The partnership will focus on providing
assistance to children who have been
a victim of abuse, neglect or other
criminal acts or who have experienced
a traumatic event such as witnessing a
loved one who has been such a victim.
Through her position as Youth Service Center Coordinator, Darya Logan,
pictured at left, has collected stuffed
animal figures, which she presented to
Sheriff Mike Smith (at right). The animal figures will be given to the affected
children as soon as possible after coming into contact with deputies or other
Sheriff ’s Department personnel. The
animals will be used to provide comfort to the child and act as a distraction
from their devastating experience.
City Council recognizes community effort

Ruth “Anna” Hart spoke to the City Council on her deplorable living conditions.
BY DAVID STEWART
Barbourville City Council has agreed to allow
Union College to use up
to $5 million of its bonding ability to consolidate
some older loans and
perform remodeling improvements. The city will
not be on the hook for any
of the funds.
At March’s meeting, the
budget for the city was
approved at $4,739,916,
and the new federally
mandated flood plane
was accepted.
Josh Callihan, public
utility commission and
Mayor David Thompson
thanked “all service people because they worked
very long hard hours in
way below freezing temperatures.”
Callihan said, “Everyone pitched in, from the
service people, state and
county road workers,
our magistrate in District
4, civilians, those with
4-wheelers, tractors, or
4-wheel drives, etc...”
The mayor added, “As a
town, I couldn’t be more
proud of the way we all
pulled together. People
just called the office and
volunteered to do whatever was needed.”
Child support warrant
leads to meth bust
BY BOBBIE POYNTER
Editor
Knox County deputies
were temporarily held at
bay as they attempted to
serve a warrant Friday in
Cannon.
As Knox County Deputies Claude Hudson and
Keith Liford tried to serve
a warrant on Michael
Theodore Cox, 39, of
Cannon, when Effie Cox,
Retha Ross and Raymond
Jackson attempted to
prevent the deputies from
entering the residence.
After gaining entrance
to the residence, the deputies arrested Michael Cox
on the felony bench warrant for failure to pay child
support, resisting arrest,
assaulting a police officer,
menacing, and terroristic
threatening.
Raymond Jackson, 49,
of Pineville, Retha Ross,
27, of Hinkle, and Effie
Cox, 40, of Cannon were
arrested and charged with
hindering prosecution.
All four were lodged in
Later that day, the deputies returned to the same
residence after receiving a
complaint of a large quantity of needles being found
by the homeowner and
other family members.
The deputies took possession of the needles and
secured an active One
Step meth lab. They also
recovered a handgun with
the serial number drilled
out.
Michael Cox, Effie Cox,
Retha Ross and Raymond Jackson were also
charged with manufacturing methamphetamine
and possession of drug
paraphernalia. In addition,
Raymond Jackson was
charged with defacing a
firearm.
Kentucky State Police Meth Disposal Unit
responded to the scene
taking possession of the
lab.
Council members
listened intently as Ruth
“Anna” Hart, a Union
College student, spoke
about living a renter’s
nightmare.
“I have gone from
having a place with a
year-long paid lease to basically being homeless,”
she said. “No heat, seven
space heaters, broken
windows and bare wires.
“I hope to get my money back, but I am very
happy to have friends that
are allowing me to live
with them. What concerns me, is that this city
does not have a way for a
renter to report problems.
I became frustrated when
I tried to report very real
safety hazards inside my
building. Everyone I talked to (in city and county
government) listened to
me, but no one was able
to help me specifically. I
finally ended up talking to
the State Attorney General’s office and the State
Fire Marshall in Frankfort.”
Mayor Thompson said,
“We do want to help you,
and I am glad that we
took the calls. However,
our small town is very limited in what we can do.
We do not have a certified
building inspector, due to
liabilities the city could
have, based on an inspection. However, if you will
come to my office at the
first of next week, I am
sure we can find a few
more answers.”
All of the council
showed concern for
Hart’s plight and vowed to
start looking for ways to
eliminate her concerns for
future renters and Union
students.
Wilma Barnes, board
member, told Hart,” I have
three daughters of my
own. If they had a problem like yours, I would
certainly want someone
to help them.”

Knox Central implodes in final 22.9 seconds

Knox Central Senior Varsity Cheerleader Tessa Terrell reacts to Clay County’s game winning
shot in the second round of the 13th Region Basketball Tournament. The Tigers defeated
Knox Central 60-59.
BY DENNIS MILLS
dmills@mountainadvocate.com
Knox Central’s Matthew
Barger brings the ball
into the front court. The
clock shows Clay Coun-
ty 53 – Knox Central 52,
1:50 remaining in the
fourth quarter with a
trip to the 13th Region
championship game on
the line.
Lady Panthers
have second
half comeback
Barger surveys the Clay
County zone looking
for an opening. Senior
Jeffrey Adams spots up
along the right sideline
outside the three point
line as Barger delivers
him the ball. Adams lets
it fly hitting nothing but
the bottom of the net as
the clock ticks down to
1:48 pushing the Panthers into the lead 55-53
and forcing Clay Count
Head Coach Robert
Marcum to call a timeout.
Clay County, on their
next possession, missed
on a three point attempt by Ryan House
and Knox Central pulls
down the rebound
which allowed Chad
Marsee to score on the
block to push the score
to 57-53 with 1:05 remaining.
Clay County’s Trey
Farmer committed a
charge to give the ball
back to the Panthers
with 50.2 seconds
remaining but the
Panthers gave the ball
back with an offensive
foul being called against
Marsee.
The Tigers scored at the
35 second mark to cut
the lead to two, 57-55.
The game at this point
became a game of possessions as Clay County
immediately fouled to
put Jeffrey Adams on the
line for one and a bonus.
Adams steps up and
drains both free throws
for a four point advantage, 59-55, with 35
seconds left in the game.
Clay County commits
a turn over as the ball
floats out of bounds on
their next possession
and the Knox Central
fans go wild sensing a
victory with only 22.9
ticks left.
The Tigers are forced to
foul Matthew Barger as
one second leaves the
clock putting Barger on
the line for a one and
bonus attempt while
nursing a huge four
point advantage.
Barger sets at the line.
Takes aim. The shot rolls
off and Clay gets the
rebound.
The Tiger’s Trey Farmer takes a pass in front
court. Dribbles along the
right and takes a long
three that finds its way
to the bottom of the basket cutting Knox Centrals’ lead to one, 59-58,
with 13.6 seconds. Clay
County calls a timeout.
Knox Central enters
the ball to Barger and
is fouled immediately
by the Tigers putting
Barger back on the free
throw line and a chance
to push the lead back to
three.

Lady Wildcats eliminated
by North Laurel
Assistant Coach Brandon Hillard reacts to the Lady Panthers come back in the second half to take a two point
advantage 40-38 over Clay County. Knox Central led 45-43
with 4:10 remaining in the first round of the 13th Region
Basketball Tournament before going on a dry spell and
allowing Clay to score the final 12 points of the game for
a 10 point loss, 45-55. The Lady Panthers finished the season with a 14-10 record and returns their entire team for
the 2015-16 campaign.
Barger steps back to the
line. Takes aim for the
second time within 10
seconds with a chance
to ice the game. The
ball goes up and rolls
off the rim. Clay pulls
down the rebound and
rushes up court trying
to beat the clock. Trey
Farmer drives deep into
the lane and is met by
Knox Central’s Tanner
Wells. Farmer pulls up
as Wells leaps to attempt
a block. The ball floats
over the outreached
hands of Wells and rattles through giving Clay
County the 60-59 lead
with only 1.5 seconds
showing on the clock.
The Panthers inbounds
to Barger for a long half
court shot that falls to
the floor as the final
buzzer sounds.
Head Coach Jamie Voight said after the game
that he would not place
blame on any single play.
“We missed a lot of free
throws tonight but you
can not just look at it
like that. One offensive
rebound that we gave
up here or there, just
one break in the game
changes everything.”
Voight said he is optimistic about the future.
Senior Guard Destiny Hill battles North Laurel’s Kayla Bruner during the first round of the
13th Region Basketball Tournament.
North Laurel defeated Lynn Camp 70-43
behind a huge 30 point
third quarter.
Lynn Camp Lady
Wildcats’ Head Coach
Richard Jones said after
the game that his team
did not come ready to
play.
“I can not say anything
bad about this team.
Nobody expected us
to be here. Nobody
expected us to win the
District.”
“North Laurel is a very
athletic team and they
got us on our heels. We
did not execute.”
“We were just not ready
to play. Maybe we were
satisfied with winning
the District.”
“This group of seniors
has averaged 17.5 wins
through high school.
How they performed
tonight does not take
away from their career.
You do not make a
career in one night.”
Editor’s note: Lynn
Camp compiled a record of 15-12 and won
the 51st District Championship.

THE MOUNTAIN ADVOCATE n Thursday, March 12, 2015 n 5B
Union professor talks
about international affairs
Photo Submitted
Bruce Cory, an instructor at Union College, speaks to the Barbourville Women's Study Club about International Affairs.
BY CLAUDIA
GIBSON GREENWOOD
The GFWC Barbourville
Women’s Study Club met
recently at the home of Club
member Judy Wilson. While
the ladies were enjoying a
delightful dessert they heard
from Bruce Cory, an instructor
at Union College, about International Affairs.
Mr. Cory is a native of
southern Ohio, Chillicothe,
and attended the University of
Dayton.
One of his responsibilities
at Union is to be Advisor for
the International Club with
his co-worker Keith Williams.
Sixty percent of students at
Union are student athletes
and 100% of the internationals
are student athletes. In many
countries where these students come from there is not
an opportunity for collegiate
sports. Many of the colleges
have sports clubs but not college programs.
At Union there are sixty-two
international students rep-
resenting Austria, Germany,
Brazil, Canada, Honduras,
India, Jamaica, Ireland, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden,
Great Britain, and more. To
enroll at Union students must
pass a speaking, written, and
reading English test.
Some of the goals of entertaining international students
are: giving the students an
opportunity to develop their
English language skills, expose internationals to
U. S. democratic values,
serve as ambassadors for
democracy in their home
countries when they return
home, and give United States
students an opportunity to
learn from students from other cultures of the world.
One way that Mr. Corey said
that Study Club members
could become involved is to
adopt an international student
to befriend. Currently, Club
members attend the International Dinner annually to meet
and greet these students. Mr.
Cory can be reached atbcory@unionky.edu.

2015 Congressional Art Competition
SOMERSET, KY - U.S.
Rep. Harold “Hal”
Rogers (KY-05) invites
high school students in
southern and eastern
Kentucky to participate
in the 2015 Congressional Art Competition. Each year, the U.S.
House of Representatives holds an annual
art competition entitled
"An Artistic Discovery"
for high school students
to showcase their talent
and represent their congressional districts by
displaying their artwork
inside the U.S. Capitol
for one year, where
more than three million
people visit annually. Thousands of high
school students participate all across the
country and one winner
is chosen from each
congressional district.
“I'm always eager
to see the impressive works of art that
are submitted by our
students in southern
and eastern Kentucky
for the Congressional
Art Competition,” said
Rogers. “I enjoy walking
through the Cannon
Tunnel where all of the
winning artwork is displayed from each state,
and I take great pride in
showing off the talent
from the Fifth District of
Kentucky." The top three district
winners will be chosen
from the Somerset,

Knox child porn case
moved to Federal Court
BY DEAN MANNING
The venue may have
changed from state to
federal court, but a Gray
man is still facing up to 20
years in prison on charges
of possession of child
pornography.
Less than week before
he was scheduled to go
to trial in Knox County on
47 counts of possession
of child pornography,
46-year-old Jerry Luke’s
case was taken over by
the F.B.I.
At what was to be
Luke’s final pretrial
hearing Monday in Knox
Circuit Court, prosecutors
made a motion for the
case to be dismissed without prejudice as the case
had been taken up by the
F.B.I. and would be prosecuted in federal court.
Commonwealth’s
Attorney Jackie Steele
explained that this is not
uncommon concerning
cases involving the down-
loading of child pornography from the Internet.
“At some juncture the
feds look at the case and
decide if they want to
adopt it,” Steele said.
Luke was indicted in
federal court last Thursday on one count of
using electronic storage
media to possess one or
more matters containing visual depictions of
individuals under the age
of 12 engaging in sexually
explicit conduct that were
produced using materials
that have been mailed,
shipped and transported
using any means and facility of interstate and foreign
commerce.
Luke faces up to 20
years in prison and a fine
of up to $250,000 if he is
found guilty.
Luke was indicted in
Knox County in July 2013
following an investigation
by Knox County Sheriff ’s
Deputy Claude Hudson, Jr.
The investigation began
on Jan. 13, 2013, leading
to Luke’s arrest in May on
charges of unlawful transaction with a minor and
custodial interference.
As part of the investigation, Hudson stated that
officers obtained a search
warrant for Luke’s residence, during which they
seized various computer
equipment such as zip
drives and external hard
drives.
A search warrant for the
contents of the equipment
was obtained and the
equipment was sent to
the Kentucky State Police
Crime Lab in Frankfort for
analysis.
Officials at the crime lab
reported finding 39 images of child pornography
and eight videos depicting
child pornography on one
of the zip drives that were
seized.
Luke is being held

Tender Tough Loving Care
You may be familiar
with the term TLC meaning Tender Loving Care.
We seem to want to interpret that to mean do what
ever we want, whenever
we wish and whenever
we like. That is certainly
not the real description
of good animal training
or parenting. Last week I
talked about dogs.
To refresh your memory,
I said, “it seems the more
we treat dogs like people,
the more they become
able to think and plan to
do the things expected of
them.” I also pointed out
that sadly “there are still
dogs that are supposed to
be kicked and mistreated.”
Too many dogs are tied

Letting a dog (or a
child) do whatever they
want or whenever does
not produce a good character, but rather a whiny,
barking and noisy beast.
In fact, they become just
plain obnoxious; someone or something no one
wants around.
So I have coined a new
phrase: T T L C, meaning Tender Tough Loving
Care. In fact, I think it is a
good thing for the person
in charge to be able to
say “No—Tough Love,”

Laurel Deputy Shawn
Jackson arrested two individuals at the Pilot Travel
Center off West Cumberland Gap Parkway early
Saturday morning.
The first arrest came
after deputies observed a
woman stumbling around,
running into shelves, and
knocking items into the
floor. The woman admitted to snorting a line of ice
and also snorting a Klonopin.
During the arrest, Deputy Jackson found over
$190 worth of items were
concealed that the woman apparently intended
to shoplift from the store.
Jessica Karr, 29, of Corbin,
was arrested and charged
with theft by unlawful
taking, shoplifting, public
intoxication – controlled
substances, and disorderly
conduct.
Deputy Jackson also
located a man passed out
in Karr’s car in the store’s
parking lot. The man also
admitted to snorting a
line of ice and “a lot more
stuff, too.”
During the arrest, the
deputy located a blue pill
bottle that contained two
small plastic baggies that

believed to be crystal
meth, a package of a Suboxone strip, a pill believed
to be Suboxone, as well
as another pill believed to

was arrested and charged
with public intoxication
– controlled substances,
possession of a controlled
substance, possession of

Confessions
of a Baking
Queen
Kristy Dean Cole
Hello everyone, hope y’all
are feeling better knowing
spring is on the way! I know
I’ve had it with the snow
this year. Some of my daffodils are starting to bloom,
and I have baby chicks that
are already feathering out.
Something about early spring
makes me want to do more
for friends and family, and
nothing makes me happier
than to bake for them. I hope
this recipe makes you want to
do the same.
This past week, I got a
reader submission from
Tammy Ferguson Baker.
I personally tried her recipe
this weekend, and it was out
of this world! It's an easy
and delicious recipe for a beginning baker who wants to
shine in the kitchen.
Hope you enjoy, and if you
have a recipe you would like
to share, e-mail me at kdcole1120@gmail.com
