On Wednesday, Jan. 28, a new petition began circulating around Barbourville.

According to the lawsuit filed Monday in Knox Circuit Court, Rodney Callender and Holly Dale Johnson are seeking to recoup the medical and funeral expenses totaling $15,603.

Hwy 11. This is the fourth recorded crash at this intersection since the first of the year. DOT to investigate dangerous stretch of Hwy 11 BY BOBBIE POYNTER Editor A particularly dangerous stretch of highway at the entrance to Pope Hollow Road on South KY 11 in Barbourville has claimed even more victims. On Sunday, Feb. 1, prominent Barbourville attorney Paul Baker and his daughter were traveling north of S. KY 11 when their vehicle was struck by a another vehicle heading south and sliding into their lane on the wet road. Baker swerved in an attempt to avoid the collision, but was unable to do so and was struck in the driver side doors, causing his vehicle to leave the roadway and strike a fire hydrant with his passenger side front door. Baker’s vehicle had to be towed. This makes the fourth recorded crash at that intersection since the first of the year. There have been more than 30 recorded crashes at that intersection in only two years. A great number more have gone unrecorded due to a lack of injuries or other vehicles involved. Tragically, two fatalities have also been recorded, one on April 7, 2009, in a head-on collision, and another single vehicle crash fatality on May 29, 2012. Barbourville Mayor David Thompson has witnessed a large majority of the crashes and has been aware of many others due to the fact that his home is located directly in the path of vehicles that have lost traction coming around the curve. “I’ve had cars upside down in my driveway, others that have hit the porch and still others that came to SEE HWY 11, PAGE 5A The community has its say “It’s time for us to roll up our shirt sleeves and get going.” -- Denise Wainscott, Director, Barbourville Tourism BY BOBBIE POYNTER Editor Barbourville Tourism asked Knox County residents what they feel would be good for their city and county’s future. “This is going to be a working plan, not one that just sits on the shelf,” said Debbie Spencer, president of We Make Things Happen!, who along with Barbourville Tourism, hosted two events Jan. 29 to hear ideas on what the community feels will help improve tourism in the area, not just for tourists, but for its citizens as well. “We’re hoping to develop our strategic action plan,” said Tourism Director Denise Wainscott. “We want more than just day visitors. We want tourists visiting our town to stay overnight or even longer.” Spencer began by describing several strategic plans that have worked out well for other communities, including outdoor adventures, horseback riding and unique dining spots. A strategic plan in Knott County, she explained, was completed in only a year and a half and included a trail ride. It drew 10,000 people into the community and brought in $2.3 million in revenue into that region. A big plus for this area, Spencer said, is that Knox County has a wealth of history, not to mention all the firsts the area claims, including: • 1st settlement house in Kentucky (c. 1750) ➢ Dr. Thomas Walker State Historic Site • 1st trails and roads in KY (c. 1775) all come together in Knox County. ➢ Boone Trace, Wilderness Road, Warriors Path all come together at Daniel Boone Memorial Park in Flat Lick •1st town in east Kentucky to formally be established by the state assembly (1812). ➢ Incorporated in 1854. •1st Battle of the Civil War that resulted in casualties occurred in Barbourville (1861) •1st College in the mountains – Union College (c. 1879) •In the 1800’s , Barbourville was the largest and most progressive city south of Richmond. • Knox County was formed in 1799 from Lincoln (one of Kentucky’s original nine counties) • Counties created from Knox include Clay, Rockcastle, Whitley, Harlan, Laurel and Bell. • Knox County was home to two Kentucky Governors, a governor of Missouri, a supreme court justice, and a founder of the state of Texas. • Oldest continuously running festival in Kentucky – Daniel Boone Festival Of course, the discussion was not all about the positives. Residents were also given a chance to say what they felt was wrong in the city. Residents responded with • poor entrances into town • little parking for dining • little lodging and/or event space • poor or non-existent street signs • no family activities •poor communication between organizations • non-existent night scene • division of townfolk and Union College • buildings in downtown are empty • locals don’t support Barbourville SEE TOURISM, PAGE 5A Special recognition announced STAFF REPORT Leadership Tri-County, which serves Laurel, Whitley and Knox Counties, has announced it will have a special tribute at its Leader of the Year banquet this year.

Wednesday, Feb. 11 Deep Water Aerobics Deep water aerobics classes are held at 9:30 Officials: hospital financial situation improving BY JAY NOLAN Publisher “The bad bleeding is behind us. We are not in a panic anymore.” That’s how Knox Hospital consultant Greg Britt summed up the Knox Hospital’s financial situation during a presentation to the board at Monday’s meeting. Britt made those comments during a nearly twohour session, after board members had extensively reviewed details of the hospital’s financial situation. “Our next cost report should be favorable and comparable to this year.” Britt added. Several factors, such as government program reimbursement calculations, complicated federal billing procedures, multiple revenue sources and highly regulated cost reimbursement make tracking hospital finances a very complex process. But, overall, Britt and several board members feel the indicators for the facility are turning more positive. The hospital reported profits of $290,327 in October, and $158,211 in November before posting a $133,531 loss in December, making the last quarter positive overall. “They (Federal government) pay us this year for last year’s cost. So, by the time we get our 2016 year rates, we should be cash flow positive,” Britt told the board. While agreeing with Britt overall, board member Tom Odell Smith noted, “We are probably another year away from being comfortable and financially solid in our day-to-day operations. We have to operate in a 2016 pattern as we do 2015 work.” Smith said. Smith and hospital administrator Ray Canady also gave much credit for the improved financial position to the professional staff at the hospital. “The employees are doing their part to help keep the hospital open, and they could have easily gone the other way,” Smith noted. “We have some great people,” Canady added. Reports to the board show the hospital has paid a large chunk of the inherited amount they owed to Medicare when they took over the bankrupt facility. Payments made have reduced that debt by nearly $750,000. Unfortunately, the board also got some bad news. The state Office of Inspector General (OIG) is holding up the facility’s MRI certificate. OIG is requiring an 18-foot long canopy first be erected at the outside entrance to the MRI department. Board members discussed options, and the group agreed to have board member Mark Moran assist Canady in addressing the canopy issue. The board also had a long discussion about the hospital Emergency Room. Member Derrick Poff mentioned how important that department is on the community’s perception of the entire hospital. “We are getting better,” Poff told the board, “but we have to stay on top of our ER service levels.” He summarized the discussion by saying he believes, “Communications with the patient is key.” Canady assured the board he agrees with their concerns, saying, “We personally work on this (ER department) all the time.” Over 1,300 patients visited the ER during December alone. In closing, the board approved the most recent committee report and recommendations from the Medical staff. It also formally approved purchase of some equipment needed to replace critical system or machines that had broken down between board meetings, and heard a positive GED TESTING SERVICE® WHOA!

Let a petition for alcohol sales in Barbourville hit the street and we get the word out quickly. We cover city government, the county fiscal court, and more. Just ask any public official, from the Judge-Executive to a city council member, and they can probably tell you a story or two about dealing with our reporters. But, when it comes to reporting on ourselves, we newspaper folks are terrible! Good or bad, we From the Publisher Jay Nolan jnolan@mountainadvocate.com usually don’t report on “us.” Did you know, for example, that the latest surveys show the “pass rate.” (The number of people reading and passing along to another their newspaper) is up 13% from 2.3 to 2.6 folks per paper? That means there are over 12,250 people reading the Mountain Advocate each week. We don’t like to discuss that our traditional hardcopy subscriptions are down about 200. But, we also fail to mention over 450 people now have our new “on-line” digital only subscription to this newspaper. And, we almost never report about our digital viewership. Guess how fast that is growing? Our home page, which was only viewed a couple hundred times five years ago, recently experienced over 14,000 distinct computers “logging in” during just one month. Nearly 75% of the folks locally who visit us online today, do so using their cell phone. That’s because our web site is now “mobile friendly.” Over 8,000 viewers in one evening tuned in to our live election coverage last November. And that partnership of Mountainadvocate.com with KCPSmedia.com also continues today, as hundreds watch the live streaming of our high school basketball games of the week. Community newspapers like yours, doing all kinds of neat stuff and providing local stories readers can’t get anywhere else, helped advertising for the newspaper industry as a whole go up 4% last year. In fact 61% of Kentuckians say their newspapers are their primary source for information from advertising. So, I think we should report the facts about us. Newspapers are changing. More readers are viewing our products online and from their phones. But, remember the prediction boldly made in 2007 that “newspapers would be gone in 10 years?” Well, I called that bet. I think if a newspaper serves its community well, adapts with the times, and is not afraid to tell readers the truth, community newspapers will be around for a long, long time. What do you think?

But this year, don’t confine your spring cleaning to www.edwardjones.com Give Your Investment Portfolio a Spring Cleaning Member SIPC Letter to the Editor Thoughts on the “Push for Alcohol in Barbourville 2015” --1 in 10 KY drivers are driving impaired because of drugs and alcohol (1 in 3 in CO) One of the most effective training tools for school-aged kids to recognize the dangers of drugs has been a program by UNITE ON THE MOVE. It uses simulators, which mimics the reaction time our bodies have to life situations at different levels of impairment. It gives the reactions when a person has one drink or drug or several and how it affects reaction time. It is powerful because it is very sobering. Kids who are able to think get to see what happens when they have taken substances that hinder their thinking. It is impacting. To introduce into our community more readily available mind altering substances and seek to legitimize it to our young people is ludicrous. Our kids pick up on hypocrisy quickly. To tell them no and do it ourselves is to destroy our credibility and damage relationships. Negative relationships are one of the reasons people do drugs and alcohol anyway. It is dumb to feed these negative emotions into the lives of our youth and hope they will make the decision not to look for pain relievers. Give them positive relationships and examples. --Barbourville is One of the Best Places to Live in SE KY—a recognition our community received last year. Alcohol brings all kinds of damage to society with it. It is significant that we are the only city in SE KY that is not wet or moist. There is a direct connection to this dry status and the sense of well being we walk around in. Go wet and we will lose that sense of peace and safety. Knox County is the 12th poorest county in the nation now (out of 3,144). To introduce more substance abuse into our economy is suicidal. --Recently, a spokesperson for our county schools addressed an anti-drug meeting in our community. In the Q&A afterwards one of the folks asked, “What drug do our kids struggle most with right now?” His answer was quick, “Alcohol.” Thinking he misunderstood, some- one repeated the question regarding drugs, and he again said, “Alcohol.” Alcohol is a gateway drug, a companion drug, and a reactionary drug mixed with the wrong companion drugs. We don’t need it. --God’s Word says that alcohol is a brawler and a reason that leaders make wrong decisions and jeopardize the justice for needy people. Alcohol clouds logic and crushes the poor and needy in court. It is not for leaders to drink and fail in their jobs. Proverbs 20, 23, and 31 are sobering and accurate looks at God’s view on the matter. Let’s not fool ourselves or make a fool of ourselves. Rev. Leonard Lester your home and yard.

I’m more concerned about the people.” The mayor was at home during each of the two fatality crashes. “I would rather have not been the first person to come up and see the tragedies that had occurred,” said Thompson. But, I had no choice. I had to see if I could help. I’d be happy if I were never put into that position again.” About two years ago, the Barbourville Street Department and the Kentucky Department of Transportation removed all the trees along the curve at Pope Hollow, believing that the sap from ALCOHOL FROM PAGE 1A their own take on why they feel Barbourville should have alcohol sales. “The legal sale of alcohol will help get rid of the bootleggers in the area, making it a lot harder for kids to buy alcohol,” said resident Scot Clouse. Clouse added another plus would be the added taxable income from the alcohol revenue the city would receive from alcohol sales. “Part of the revenue can go to the police department,” he said, “and right now they need the money.” Tabatha Hoffman, of the Clanes Nest community, sees the advent of alcohol sales in Barbourville as a plus for everyone. “Many people like to go to a nice restaurant and have a drink with their meal,” said Hoffman. Right now, Corbin and London are getting all those tax revenue benefits. I’m not saying everyone going out to eat has to have a drink with their meal, but it would be nice just to have that option. Besides, Barbourville could sure use the additional revenue for our city schools and our police department.” Not everyone is ready to bring alcohol sales into Barbourville. Leonard Lester, pastor of First Advent Christian Church in Barbourville, is in no hurry to see Barbourville accept alcohol sales. “It’s sad that we have to fight this battle again so soon,” said Lester. “We’ve look at the issues before, and this is a bad deal for our community. Revenue that comes off this has to be used for policing the effects of bring alcohol into our community. What does that tell you about how good an option this is for our community? A family-friendly community shouldn’t have to fight this AGREEMENT FROM PAGE 1A duction for anyone. There are other factors, such as current enrollment, class sizes and building capacity that school districts must also consider when working on reciprocal numbers. The agreement states that a maximum number of 405 students can live within the Knox County district and attend Corbin Independent, and a maximum of 370 students can attend Barbourville Independent. This also works the same for students living in the Barbourville and Corbin school districts who attend Knox County schools. “The teachers in our district are giving it their all the trees was making the road slick. Apparently, that was not the case because the number of crashes continued to pile up. “Anytime it’s raining, you know there’s going to be an accident on that curve,” said the mayor. “We’ve had a rainy winter and a lot of cars have ended upside down in front of my house. It’s time we get something done. We don’t need another fatality before we get it fixed.” Sherri Chappell, Chief District Engineer of the Kentucky Department of Transportation, has been made aware of the problem, and after speaking with Mayor Thompson Tuesday, has agreed to send a DOT representative down in the next week or so to assess the situation. “She was very receptive,” said Thompson of his discussion with Chappell. She realized it needed to be done. She was genuinely concerned about correcting the problem once and for all.” Mayor Thompson is confident that DOT will come in and fix the problem. “When I was first elected mayor, we had a fatality in front of the new high school. I was really impressed when the highway department quickly stepped in and put up a stoplight at the intersection. I remember being told by DOT that the light wouldn’t stop the fender benders, but it should help prevent any more fatalities. I feel strongly that DOT will take care of this just like they did then. I see a cure very soon.” battle. Our festivals bring families consistently into our community to enjoy a safe friendly environment. “When alcohol is introduced too many times, fear comes with it and rightfully so, because people’s judgment and emotions, their inhibitions are negatively affected by alcohol and it changes the atmosphere. Police have to be brought in to control people who are under the influence and who have gotten stirred up for whatever reason. Our community is not totally perfect, but it is one of the top places in our region. We are unique that we don’t have alcohol and that makes it better, not worse.” “I am a parent of a teenager, and I have read the latest statistics from the CDC,” said local resident Steve Smith, “They show that 11 percent of alcohol is consumed by people under 21. It also shows that 90 percent of that number is actively engaged in binge drinking. The Knox County Health Department says we are one of the leading counties in the state, as well as the country, for teenage pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. So what I see is a recipe for disaster. This is a waste of taxpayers’ money, and I am confident this will be defeated once again.” KRS 242.020 states that in order for the petition to go through, it will need signatures equal to 25 percent of the qualified voters in the 2014 regular election or, according to Mike Corey, Knox County Clerk, approximately 600 signatures. The last time alcohol a sales petition was put to the vote was Feb. 7, 2012. The vote passed in Corbin, but failed in Barbourville by 104 votes. “The petition three years ago had huge support from both sides,” said Barbourville Mayor David Thompson, “but, ultimately, it was defeated by a significant number of votes. The voters now have had a couple of years to look at what has happened in our surrounding towns, and I think it’s the right way to do it. Let the voters make the decision. “Lots of scenarios were brought up last time about how it would be if it was or was not wet. Now everyone has had the chance to see how it has worked in the towns that passed it, and they can now decide whether they still feel the same way they did three years ago, or if this time they feel it should pass.” Mayor Thompson says he is glad the voters are once again getting the chance to make a choice. “I think it’s a choice that should be left up to the voters,” he said. “A few years ago, I didn’t hear anybody complain. It was voted on, defeated, and people went on with their lives. I don’t expect any less this time.” By law, petitioners have six months to file from the date the petition was first signed on Jan. 28. The county then has no earlier than 60 days or no later than 90 days after the petition was filed to hold a local option election, paid for by the Fiscal Court, which, according to Ed Tye, Knox County Treasurer, in 2012 amounted to around $6,500. The only stipulation is that the election cannot be scheduled 30 days before or following a regular election. )The 2015 regular election is Nov. 3.) If the petitioners do not specify a date, the Judge Executive will designate a date for the election. To date, no attorney of record has been retained to represent the originators of the petition. Petitions can be found in local businesses throughout Barbourville. to make Knox County the best district in the area, and we hope that those improvements will make Knox a more desirable school district for students and parents,” said Sprin- AMBULANCE FROM PAGE 1A are seeking compensation for the loss of affection and companionship from their son, the loss of the 14-yearold’s future ability to earn money and punitive damages. “We filed the case so we can begin the discovery process,” said David O. Smith, the attorney representing Callender’s parents, noting while he has a copy of the preliminary police report, an independent accident reconstructionist has completed an investigation. However, Kentucky State Police, who have been investigating the wreck, have yet to answer three of the biggest questions, how fast was the ambulance going, were the ambulance’s lights and sirens activated when the ambulance struck Callender and two other teens and was French under the influence of alcohol or drugs? Trooper Shane Jacobs, public affairs officer at Post 10 in Harlan, said previously that no other details of the incident would be released until the investigation was completed and the case presented to a TOURISM FROM PAGE 1A Positives, however, greatly outweighed the negatives. The residents had plenty to say about what was good about their city and county. Those included: • a beautiful downtown • a downtown square surrounded by historic buildings • a state historic site • Boone Trace Wilderness Road, Warrior’s Path • natural resources •Cumberland River – kayaking and tubing • wonderful farmland • city water park • an established barbeque festival • Daniel Boone Festival • Red Bud Festival • K & J Railroad trestle bridge in Artemus • story legends • WWII storage bunker under the Prom Shop building • a museum that has “more history than bigger, more elaborate museums” • a strong and growing Farmer’s Market • lots of local artisans and crafters • quality downtown shops • two community gardens • Union College’s Turner Outdoor Center mountain bike trail On the subject of the Cumberland River, Spencer said blue ways, just like highways, can be developed, and can bring in tourist from all across the nation. She also emphasized that the community needs to capitalize on its heritage, particularly those who are direct descendants of Daniel Boone and his family. “I’m finding so many kles. “It is our goal that, treasures in your commuover time, less and less students will be looking at other districts and more will be eager to come to Knox.” Knox County grand jury. When it was learned the case was not presented to the grand jury in January, Jacobs said investigators are still awaiting results of the blood tests from the state police crime lab in Frankfort. In addition to negligence, the plaintiffs are also claiming French violated the statutory laws governing the operation of an ambulance. The speed limit in the area is 55 mph. Under Kentucky Law, emergency vehicles transporting a patient to medical facilities are not subject to posted speed limits provided the lights and sirens are activated. However, even with the lights and sirens activated, the driver is not relieved of, “the duty to drive with regard for the safety of all persons and property upon the highway,” the statute states. The wreck occurred about 10 p.m. that evening. Callender and two other juveniles, identified through social media as Keyshawn Blevins and Trenton Brock, were riding their bikes north on U.S. 25E near Sammie’s Auction House. The ambulance, which nity that you have kept hidden,” said Spencer, and then encouraged the community utilize the web for more of it’s regular events. Part of her job, she said, is checking out city websites to see how inviting they make their city sound. “It’s a strong investment,” she said. She also suggested the community take advantage of the Promise Zone and SOAR programs, of which there are lots of grants and opportunities available. After all was said and done, everyone agreed Barbourville and Knox County have the right stuff to draw in lots of tourism, as well as, improve the lives of those living in the area. “Tourism has an open door policy,” said Wainscott. “Just give us a call. We’ll put you in touch with like-minded people. In the meantime, thanks to you, we can now begin shaping a short- and long-term plan. We’re ready to go. It’s time for us to roll up our shirt sleeves and get going.” was also travelling north, dropped off the roadway and struck the trio as they rode their bikes in the median dividing the four-lane highway. The collision report, obtained through an open records request to the state police lists “inattention” as a human factor in the collision and notes French failed to maneuver the ambulance to avoid the collision. The juveniles were struck with the left front bumper of the ambulance. Callender was pronounced dead at the scene. Blevins and Brock were taken to Baptist Health Corbin for treatment of their injuries. The ambulance was en route from Barbourville to Baptist Health Corbin with a patient. Holly Johnson, previously described her son as a smart, funny and very loving boy who was very respectful and well mannered. “He cared and was concerned about other people,” Johnson said. “He was well-known by everyone in school or out in public,” she said. “I’ll never forget his smile and his laughter,” she said. “He was my baby.” BUDGET FROM PAGE 1A ing pulled from the police department after the city council vowed to help the department out at the January meeting. City Clerk Helen Strong says that is not the case. We’re only adjusting the salary amounts budgeted for two officers who no longer work for the department,” she said. “We’re not taking anything away from the department itself. But, the city does have bills to pay, and as we can’t add to our yearly budget, we have to find money to pay those bills with what we already have.” The council will also hear a presentation from Jones, Nale & Mattingly about the Fiscal Year 2014 audit. The auditors will announce any discrepancies or non-compliances found during the audit. TAX TIME Tax Prep starting at $35 Professional • Confidential • Quality We Are Ready for Obamacare!

GARLAND 12-CI-421 PRIOR CASE WAS 09-P-130 JERRY WAYNE GARLAND II, DONNA CARLAND COREY, & BECKY GARLAND CARR CO-EXECUTOR PERIOTIC By Andy Powell For the Mountain Advocate Union College has established a campus chapter of the Appalachia Service Project (ASP) that will lend student hands to help families of the local community. The project, entitled College Service Project, is the culmination of a partnership between the ASP of Johnson City, Tenn., and Union College. The endeavor, which was formally announced during an event on Jan. 21, will lend year round assistance to local families in need of home repairs. “I am extremely proud of the partnerships we’ve built with our students, our community and our region,” said Union President Marcia Hawkins, Ph.D. Hawkins sits on the board of the ASP and helped to foster this initiative. “Today, we celebrate another partnership, one that began 40 years ago, here on this campus, with a two week long outreach program to make people’s homes safe, warm and dry.” Rev. Glenn “Tex” Evans founded ASP in Barbourville in 1969. In its first year of service, ASP fixed four homes with the help of 50 volunteers. Last year, the organization repaired 650 homes with the help of 17,000 volunteers in the 32 communities its serves throughout Appalachia, said Walter Crouch, CEO of ASP. “The relationship be- tween Union College and Appalachia Service Project is historic,” said Crouch. “Without Union College’s early support, ASP would not exist.” Crouch added that it is fitting that Union College be one of the first institutions to develop a student group to serve the community through the College Service Project. Other campus chapters of the Appalachian Service Project have been established at University of Wisconsin, Madison; Wilmington; Virginia Tech and Appalachian State University. The ASP College Service Project will be a student led program focused on home rehabilitation projects in hopes of making those homes, warmer, safer and drier for the families that live there. The program will be a partnership between the college, ASP, Kentucky Communities Economic Opportunity Council (KCEOC) and Lend-A-Hand. It will continue collaborative efforts began in the campus community through programs such as Repair Affair. But, unlike Repair Affair, which initiates projects for just one day a year, College Service Project at Union College will allow students to manage repair projects throughout the year. The project will be managed through the Common Partners program on campus, a sought due to a coal marketing problem and is being requested for an initial period of six (6) months. The deferment may be renewed for additional periods up to a maximum of 30 months. The application has been filed for public inspection at the Department for Natural Resources Middlesboro Regional Office, 1804 East Cumberland Avenue, Middlesboro, Kentucky 40965. Written comments or objections must be filed within ten (10) days of this notice with the Director, Division of Permits, #2 Hudson Hollow, U.S. 127 South, Frankfort, Kentucky 40601. BY DAVID STEWART For the Mountain Advocate program that manages various other service-oriented projects for students. “We are very fortunate to have programs here with such strong roots and to have students so interested in what it means to serve their community,” said Jodi Carroll, Director of the Common Partners and College Service Project initiatives. Carroll said the College Service Project would further engage students in learning as they serve, allowing them to manage all facets of each project from start to finish. “Our students will develop various skill sets as well as values,” Carroll said. “And, we will be graduating students who will really be able to internalize what it means to be engaged citizens.” One of those students, Joey Davenport, helped to announce the launch of the College Service Project at Union. Davenport has helped lead Repair Affair projects within the community and will assist in managing this initiative. Davenport said students have already been reviewing applications from local residents in hopes of soon approving and beginning projects. “We hope to have home visits and set dates for the start of the projects next week,” Davenport said. “It’s great to know our students can use their skills and abilities to be able to go out and help their community.” Davenport said students have been reviewing applications submitted to them from ASP headquarters. But, local residents can begin submitting their own applications for assistance. Applications for assistance through the Union College CSP are available by visiting http://www.unionky. edu/sites/default/files/public/downloads/news/CSPHomeRepairApplication. pdf For more information on ASP, please visit www.asphome.org It was Peggy Gray’s election and Gordon Hinkle’s re-election that had Judge Skip Hammons working after hours to ensure all Knox County Board members were sworn in officially.

Walmart cards were given first read approval for Family Resource usage, as long as they were for emergency use only, such as family house fires where no clothes or food existed, held to a $1,000 credit limit, tight control existed through the central office and confirmation that families received what was bought for them. Anthony Pennington, Lynn Camp’s principal, again packed the trophies for attendance for middle school and high school back to the school board meeting only to take them back home. Lynn Camp has held these prestigious awards since school started.

The budget for the school year starts at 1.2 million in the negative. Kelly Sprinkles, superintendent, assured everyone present that serious hours had been spent with finance officer, Gertrude Smith, and they were looking for ways to offset these losses and balance the budget. Sprinkles stated, “We have always had full-time kindergarten in our county, but the state has only reimbursed us for one-half day pay. We are asking for that additional funding, which would bring another $700,000 to offset our 1.2 million in the hole.” Gordon Hinkle told the crowd, “The money coming from the state annually has been less and less. You may not know that, but we do. We really need to tighten our belts. I would like to thank Sprinkles and Gertrude for spending hours to try to figure out ways to save and make this (budget) work.” During the Executive Session, Dexter Smith was appointed new chairman, replacing Merrill Smith. Merrill Smith was voted vice-chairman. explained. “As the new machines will be electronic, we may even be able to get voting results back to the county clerk faster.” A road in Knox County will soon fall under a different name.

Defense attorney Fred Peters entered a not guilty plea for Tristan James Hall, 31, during his district court arraignment Monday on a Jan. 26 charge of harassing communications involving his ex-girlfriend Angela Reeves. Special Judge Skip Hammons ordered that Hall be held without bond on newest charge. “Considering the other charges, I think it is best that we proceed no bond at all on this new charge,” Hammons said. Defense attorney Herbert Moncier noted during Monday’s hearing that the Kentucky Constitution provides an “absolute right” to a reasonable bond. Hammons responded that there is legal precedent for holding someone without bond on a misdemeanor offense, such as harassing communications, when the person is out of bond and is charged again with a similar offense. Local railroad museum looking for memorabilia BY DEAN MANNING For the Mountain Advocate Have an old piece of railroad history? Perhaps a signal light, tools, photos or an old uniform? Then officials with the Corbin Tourism and Convention Commission are asking that you donate it for display at the upcoming Corbin Railroad Museum. “We are taking any railroad artifacts,” said Maggy Kriebel, Director of Corbin Tourism and organizer of a special event this coming Saturday where officials are hoping to collect railroad related artifacts for the museum. “Everyone can come and donate items. We will take any type of railroad artifact, it doesn’t matter where it comes from,” Kriebel said. “We don’t have near- ly enough variety right now so we are appealing to the public. We know there is some good stuff out there.” The “Railroad Artifact Intake Event” will be held from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Saturday at the old L&N Depot on Depot Street. Kriebel said she’s already received quite a few phone calls from people interested in taking part. “I think the event is going to be really busy,” she said. “We’ve had a lot of calls. One guy is coming in from Ashland and he wants to spend the night. He’s got some stuff to donate. He thinks it’s the coolest thing ever.” People have two options for their items. They can outright donate them to the museum, or loan them for display. Kriebel said she un- derstands some people would be reluctant to completely part with items they might consider valuable or sentimentally important, so that’s why the option to loan items to the museum was offered. While Tourism officials will take any railroad artifact, Kriebel said one thing in particular that they are in desperate need of uniforms. “We’d love for people to bring old uniforms in. That’s something we really want badly,” she said. “There’s a lot of railroad stuff out there, but for some reason people just don’t think to keep the uniforms.” Kriebel said there are plans for a “crew checkin station” at the museum when it is completed, which is where any uniforms donated will be displayed. “Absent of some type of case to the contrary that is what I intend to do,” Hammons said. Hall’s attempted murder solicitation case stems from a Jan. 10, 2013, incident where Hall allegedly advertised on the popular website Topix that he would pay someone $5,000 cash for the murder of Melissa Jones Davis and the concealment of her body. He also faces a hindering prosecution charge that stems from a June 24 incident when police went to the Hall’s grandmother’s house, where he was staying, to serve him with an arrest warrant for intimidating a participant in the legal process. In the harassing communications case, Reeves alleged that between Jan. 19 - 22, Hall sent her harassing messages. Reeves alleged that after Hall was released from jail, he e-mailed her on Jan. 19, and later wrote her again on Jan. 21 in another e-mail, according to the arrest warrant. One of Hall’s many bond conditions in his other cases call for him not to use a computer while he is free on bond. After Jan. 21 Reeves alleged that Hall started calling her phone telling everything about her, such as knowing exactly what she was doing and who she was dating, the warrant alleged. Knox Unite gets update on addiction treatment options Picture by Jay Nolan Kristi Burnett (pictured) and Elaine Passow of Baptist Health Corbin Trillium Center spoke at the Knox County Unite February meeting. BY JAY NOLAN Publisher “Our detox unit is seeing five to six patients every single day now,” Kristi Burnett, LPCA, told a record crowd at the Knox County Unite meeting on Tuesday. Burnett, from the Trillium Center, also discussed some of the in-patient and outpatient services provided there to treat drug or alcohol addiction. She said the Corbin facility does not have a waiting list. “Almost always we have detox beds open …just go to the Emergency Room for an assessment 24/7, and if needed, you can go directly to the unit,” she said. The center also has therapist available. Plus, they provide psychological, emotional and medical assistance. When questioned about how the addiction problem has changed, she and the director of outpatient services, Elaine Passow, told the local group, “The patients we have now are much, much, much sicker.

Kentucky Harvest Southeast Incorporated handed out their 4th “Golden Can” award during Union College’s 2015 Spring Convocation. Jim Dorn, the organization’s President was on hand to do the honors. He noted, “We have been giving this award for 4 years now and Union College has won 4 years in a row.” The competition (food drive) ran between Oct. 15 and Nov. 20, 2014. To make it as fair as possible, winners are determined with the following formula. Each school collected non-perishable food items Kentucky Harvest, Sysco Foods donate food to Appalachian area which were weighed to obtain a final number. Each college also reported the number of active undergraduate students currently enrolled. Union collected 4,765 pounds with 755 students, while Cumberlands reported 3617 pounds with 1106 students. Union won the Golden Can with 6.31 pounds per student. In an interview later, Dorn pointed out that the big winners were hungry people in this area. He said, “I want you to know that any food collected by a group always remains in the area where it was collected. Most of “Union has an own ace in the hole. Someone was able to connect with Shawn Black the manager of the local Super Dollar. The store will allow people to make canned good and financial donations inside the store. When The Cumberlands finds the store in their area that will help them like this, I am sure the pounds of food will increase making the race to the Golden can much tighter.” Dorn is asking everyone to “Look for our Empty Bowl Project starting the first of April.” Logan, Blevins win Scavenger Hunt Photo ssubmitted Left: Pictured with the youth participants of the Refuse to Use Scavenger Hunt are Marcia Dixon (far left) and Claudia Greenwood (back right).

Kentucky Harvest Southeast would like to recognize Kentucky Harvest and Sysco Foods in Louisville for their support in providing approximately 100,000 pounds of food to Southeastern Kentucky in 2014. With so many folks out of work and experiencing extreme hardships, their donations have been so very helpful to the food shelters that received them. The support of these organizations to Kentucky Harvest Southeast has greatly helped people in Southeastern Kentucky. Kentucky Harvest Southeast Board of Directors are Don Root, Jim Revoir, Rosemary Revoir, Gina Sears, Christine Centers, Joni Croley, Brendia Moses, Teresa Pope, Brandy Crase, Joann Maybrier, and Jim Dorn. Union’s food went to: The Women’s Shelter inside KCEOC and the Christian Life Food Pantry located 1 block from the school. The Cumberland’s food was given to the Emergency Christian Services, Cedar Ridge, and Williamsburg’s First Baptist Church’s food pantry. Dorn stated, “In order for this hunger-fighting program to be this successful, it takes leadership. These two colleges have had wonderful people pushing their food drives, Union’s Dr. Marcia Hawkins and The Cumbersland’s Dr. Mike Colegrow.” BY CLAUDIA GREENWOOD For the Mountain Advocate Several middle school youth recently participated in a “Refuse to Use” Scavenger Hunt beginning at The Ugly Mug as part of the National Drug Facts Week activities. The group gathered to hear and read the following facts about drugs: 1) Marijuana – You can get addicted., 2) Most people who start smoking in their teens become regular smokers before they are 18 years old., 3) More than 4 in 10 people who begin drinking before age 15 eventually be- come alcoholics., 4) RX abuse is drug abuse., 5) Drugs mess with your brain’s wiring and signals., 6) People continue to smoke although they know it is bad for them because they are addicted to nicotine., 7) The tobacco industry is trying to get into your head and your pockets through advertising., 8) About 440,000 Americans die from disease associated with tobacco use each year., 9) Drinking and driving can add up to tragic endings In the U. S. about 5,000 people under the age of 21 die each year from injuries caused by underage drinking., 10) There is treatment available, and it works. After the discussion, youth were given different clues every five minutes to locate an empty cigarette pack with the message “Refuse to Use.” The cigarette pack was hidden two times in order to have two I-Phone Card winners. Winners were John Michael Logan and Micah Blevins. Everyone then enjoyed hot chocolate after the event. This was sponsored by Knox County UNITE and the Drug Free Communities Support Program.

The Panthers stepped outside of the region again on Jan. 30 by playing in the King of the Bluegrass tournament and lost to Fern Creek by four points, 70-66. Photos by Dennis Mills Knox Central’s Matthew Barger shoots over Wayne County’s Peyton Woods. Barger scored 35 points in a 79-83 loss. On Jan. 31 Knox Central hit the road yet again by traveling to Letcher County to play Letcher County Central where the Panthers lost their fourth straight, 80-74. Head Coach Jamie Voight said after the Wayne County game in which Matthew Barger poured in 35 points, “We have to keep working on our defense. We work on it everyday.” “Wayne County was a really good team and that had a lot to do with our poor defense. The game plan we had worked at times. We just have to keep working.” Knox Central, due to the Cardinals strong guard play, abandoned the press and most of their running game in the first half. Wayne County struck first with a lay up to open the game but Central found the score board on the block with Tanner Wells and Chad Marsee for an 8-6 advantage early in the first quarter. The Panthers allowed Wayne County to gain the lead on a three by freshman Jakson Baker and three, three pointers by senior guard Peyton Woods to push the lead to 18-10. After a timeout by Voight at the 2:53 mark in the first quarter, Knox Central clawed back with scoring by Wells, Barger and Delonie Graham to within four at the end of the quarter, 25-21. The Panthers continued to pound the ball inside to Marsee much of the second quarter and managed to trade baskets with Wayne County. Knox Central’s Chad Marsee led the way with 13 first half points but trailed by three at the half, 42-39. “Wayne County is steady with the ball,” said Coach Voight. “We wanted to focus on getting back and working on them instead of letting them beat a Photos by Dennis Mills Central’s Delonie Graham defends against Wayne County last Friday night. Graham hit two clutch threes in the second half but Knox Central fell by four points to the Cardinals. Pirates hand Lynn Camp another loss Wildcats on four game skid BY DENNIS MILLS dmills@mountainadvocate.com The Wildcats continue to struggle on the offensive end as they suffered their fourth straight loss at the hands of the Berea Pirates last week, 60-51. Lynn Camp scored only eight points in the first quarter and trailed by 11 as the buzzer sounded, 19-8. The Wildcats scratched back in the second quarter with a three pointer from senior guard Skylar McFarland, a free throw by Austin Maier, four points by Marcus Hollin and six points by Austin Withrow. Lynn Camp had cut the deficit to five by halftime, 22-27. Head Coach Eric Swords made adjustments at half time that allowed the Wildcats to score six unanswered points, four by Austyn Weddle and a three pointer by Skylar McFarland, to give Lynn Camp the lead at 29-27. After a Berea time out, the Pirates connected on a shot to tie the game at 29 all. Both teams traded baskets until McFarland hit a three with 2:16 remaining in the quarter for a 37-34 advantage. Berea would not be denied as the Wildcats went cold in the fourth quarter. The Pirates scored six unanswered points of their own to jump out to a seven point lead and extended it to 10 mid-ways through the fourth quarter at 41-51. The lead was too much for the Wildcats to overcome as Berea beat the Wildcats for the second time of the season, 60-51. Lynn Camp had 10 players see action with senior Skylar McFarland leading the way with 18 points and three rebounds. Austin Maier added nine points, Marcus Hollin shot for eight, Austin Withrow and Bronson Roaden each scored five while Austyn Weddle shot for six. The Wildcats will host Jellico, TN on Feb. 3 at home and travel to J. Frank White Academy in Tennessee on Feb. 6.

To achieve this, ordinary middle class women elevated the pursuit of domestic bliss to an extraordinary art form, from white-linen Sunday dinners to blue-checked gingham Independence Day picnics. Women approached the domestic arts…..cooking, decorating, gardening, handcrafts and entertaining…not as burdens but as a form of personal expression and a means of persuasion. Traditions that celebrated the joys of home and family acted as the mystical mortar that held bodies and soul together in a tumultuous society that was changing at the speed of light. “Home is where we start from,’ T.S. Eliot observes. Today, a century after he was born, “home” is a place where many women are longing to return, if not literally, then figuratively. Begin believing that the time, energy, and emotion you invest daily in the soul craft of home caring… craving holds no more guarantees for us then it did for our Victorian foremothers. Yet they faced the future with full hearts, determined to create a lasting work of art: a happy. secure, and beautiful retreat of love and laughter. “We can too.” author unknown. Millie’s quote for today: “Every spirit builds itself a house, and beyond its house a world, and beyond its world a heaven.
