Residents speak out on alcohol sales
BY BOBBIE POYNTER
Editor
The city council and many members
of the community got the chance to hear
from each side of the Barbourville wet/
dry vote at the December meeting. . . and
then some.
Bob Dunaway, who submitted the
petition for the wet/dry vote, explained to
the board why he decided to ask for the
special election.
“A couple of years ago, I had a conversation with my son about how our economy looked here, and what I thought
he might want to consider to do in his
lifetime. It would be nice if he could stay
home and make a living here. But when I
look back at the last 15 years, I think there
some changes that need to take place in
order for that to take place.”
Dunaway reiterated what he has been
saying all along about the reasoning
behind the vote. From the start, he has
insisted the vote is all about economics
and the economy.
“We need a diversified economic
plan,” he said. “It cannot not be based
on any one entity. It used to be based on
coal, but while coal was good, now the
railroad has started taking up track, and
if coal were going to come back, I think
the railroad would have decided to stay
here.”
“Where are our jobs? Dunaway asked.

When community members
noticed unusual activity from a
residence on College Street, they
wisely called the Drug Tip Hotline
and the Knox County Sheriff ’s Department sprang to action. Aided
by the Barbourville Police Depart-
ment and Operation UNITE, the
Sheriff ’s Department sent a deputy
to perform a ‘controlled buy’ from
a resident at the home. Once the
buy was complete, a search warrant was issued for the residence.
Authorities found one person
inside the home. Also found were
various drugs, including oxycodon
and crystal meth, and $2,591. Cash
and drugs were seized by the
authorities.
Roy R. “Butch” Russ, 46, of Artemus, was arrested and charged
with two counts of first degree
trafficking in a controlled substance. Russ was lodged on the
Knox County Detention Center.

which was initially issued
Sept. 19 following an
investigation by Kentucky
State Police Trooper Frank

According to the
warrant, on Sept. 5, Gray

time in the back of the
head before pushing her
mother into a coffee table
causing unspecified physi-
cal injury.
Laurel County Sheriff’s
Deputy Gilbert Acciardo,
the department’s public
affairs officer, said Jackson had been called out to
a verbal domestic dispute
at a residence on U.S. 25
in Lily just after midnight.
As part of the call, Deputy Shawn Jackson was
checking the identification
of the individuals for outstanding warrants.
“We do that as a matter
of routine on all of our
calls,” saud Deputy Acciardo.
Gray was taken into custody on the warrant and
is being held in the Laurel
County Detention Center
on a $5,000 cash bond.

Bid vote causes friction
among BOE members
BY EMILY BAKER
Reporter
During the December
Knox County School Board
meeting, tensions rose as the
topic of construction bids
approached.
Ken Donnelly, Architect for
Knox County Public Schools,
informed the board that six
bids were received for the
upcoming construction on
Lynn Camp Elementary.
Donnelly focused on the two
lowest bids, Olympic Construction and JBK Inc. Over
$50,000 separated the lowest
bidder, Olympic Construction, and the second lowest,
JBK Inc. Donnelly said that
he had checked the references of each, and both re-
ceived excellent reviews and
were considered qualified.
When it came time to
choose, however, the board
had mixed opinions. It was
suggested to go with JBK,
as they had just finished another project for the school
system.
“I would like to table this
issue,” said Board Member
Charles Merida. “I would feel
more comfortable to have
Kim Merida, our facilities
coordinator, look into Olympic’s past work and look for
any issue.”
Before it could be tabled,
Board Chairman Dexter
Smith made a motion to,
“give the bid to JBK for their
fine work they’ve done in
Knox County.”
The last to vote was Board
Member Gordon Hinkle.
He said, “Before I vote I
want to bring to attention
that we’re talking about a
difference of $58,000. That’s
a lot of textbooks. That’s
a teacher’s salary. That’s
almost four teacher’s aids. I
agree with what Mr. Merida
said. I vote no.”
The vote passed two to
three. The approval prompted Merida’s disdain.
“Don’t you want to support
local business?” asked Board
Member Merrill Smith.
“Yes, I do,” responded Merida, “but, I want to support
all of them, not just one or
two.”

Lynn Camp Beta Club and Super Squad Leadership Club collected a total of 522 stuffed
animals for the Knox County Sheriff ’s Department. The toys will be given to children
that the deputies encounter while on duty. Lynn Camp offered a pizza party to the class
that collected the most toys. The party went to Mrs. Wagers’ elementary class, who
brought in 157 toys. Knox County Sheriff ’s Deputy Chad Wagner collected the toys on
behalf of the Sheriff ’s Department.
The City of Barbourville is about to raise the
roof – or in this case a
couple of massive highway signs – due to the
stellar accomplishment
by its high school’s lady

Kentucky State Rep.

December City Council
meeting.
“This is pretty big for
our school, winning
both the region and the
state,” said Dennis Messer, the girls golf team
coach. “These girls work
hard, and this town, this
community ought to be
proud of them.”
The Barbourville Lady

title with a school record
score of 318, winning the
tournament by an impressive 46 strokes. Team

Post 10 in Harlan recently
held their yearly Shop with
a Trooper program.
Twenty-one kids from
Knox County met with
State Police personnel and
members of Forcht Bank
Group at the Barbourville
Walmart. Each child was
paired with a representative of KSP or Forcht Bank,
who led them through the
store picking out clothes,
coats, shoes and toys.
“We were able to pro-
vide each child with $120
to spend at the store,”
said Kentucky State Police
Public Affairs Officer Shane
Jacobs.
After their shopping
spree, the kids were taken
to Forcht Bank, where
they were served lunch
and got a private concert
from Barbourville High
School’s Choir. As they
ate, a very special guest
arrived. Santa Claus! Each
child got to tell Santa what
they wanted for Christmas,
and received more gifts
from Santa and Chairman/
CEO of Forcht Ins Agency
Marion Forcht.
With full bellies and lots
of smiles, the children
began preparing to leave,
but there was one more
surprise in store.
As they descended the
stairs, the children were
greeted with brand new
bicycles.
“This is a great program,” said Trooper Jacobs. “This isn’t just about
the State Police, it’s about
the local people and the
businesses in our community helping each other,
stepping up and continuing this program. Without
them sending donations
and coming to and sponsoring our fund raisers,
this wouldn’t be possible.

Cima receives pardon after drug arrest
BY TRENT KNUCKLES
Thirty-six-year-old Anthony
Cima, of Gray, had almost
given up on finding gainful
employment following his
drug arrest in 2008.
He’d served a month in
jail after pleading guilty to
a trafficking in a controlled
substance charge, and then
took advantage of the Drug
Court program, which he
completed in 2010. He finished up the last vestiges of
his probationary and parole
period in late 2012. His sentence had been served.
But that black mark still
remained in his past. He’d
been convicted of a felony. He couldn’t vote. He
couldn’t legally own a firearm or hunt. And employers,
by and large, didn’t want
him on their payroll.
“Most job applications
are done on computers
nowadays. I’d get to the part
where it would tell you that
if you have ever been convicted of a felony to please
exit the screen,” Cima said,
recounting the difficulty
finding a job after his sole
criminal conviction.
“It was the only time I’d
ever been in trouble or
convicted of anything, but
it got to the point where I
wouldn’t even fill out the
application anymore. It was
pointless and a waste of
time.”
“I felt like every time I’d
do something good, my past
would come back to haunt
me.”
Cima got some of the best
news of his life Monday.
Outgoing Governor Steve
Beshear handed out 197
pardons to Kentuckians in
the 11th hour of his administration, and Cima was on
the list.
“It’s been like a weight
has been lifted off my
shoulders,” Cima said. “It’s
a great feeling to know that I
can vote again or I can take
my son squirrel hunting or
deer hunting. I feel like I’ve
earned it.”
Cima was arrested for
selling prescription pain
pills and said he had an
addiction himself. It was an
odd place for him. He was a
gifted athlete — a standout
football player at Corbin and
Lynn Camp High Schools.
He knew he had developed
a problem, but felt powerless to solve it. When he
was taken into custody, he
admitted to being relieved.
He saw it as an opportunity
to break his addiction.
“When I found out I was
in trouble, I breathed a sigh
of relief. I was going to go
to jail or get the help that I
needed. Everyone was real
supportive of me,” Cima
said. “People don’t understand how bad it (addiction)
is until you’ve been there.
If you’ve never been there,
you don’t understand the
control it has over you.”
After his arrest, he vowed
to take advantage of “every
avenue out there” to put his
life back together. The Drug
Court program, he said,
was amazing. He also had
support from his family and
friends.
Around the time of his
arrest, he’d met his future
wife, Vicki. He was worried
about their relationship.
“We had just got together.
She didn’t know what was
going on,” Cima said. “I’m
so thankful that she stood
behind me when she did
find out. She told me if I
messed up again, it’s over.
She gave me one chance.
That’s all I needed.”
The couple married in
2008 and have two children
together, ages 8 and 2. He
said he’s devoted his life
to being a good father and
husband. He said his wife
was “tickled to death” to
learn the news of his pardon
Tuesday.
And he ran into a little
fortune on the job front as
well.
Cima said he worked for
his family’s business for
a while until he found an
employer who didn’t automatically shun him because
of his felony conviction. He

currently delivers medical
supplies for Southeastern
Medical Supply in Corbin.
He said the owners of the
company, Barry and Sara
Mahan, gave him the chance
he needed and were very
supportive of his efforts to
seek the pardon.
“That just kind of showed
me that there are people
out there who do care,”
Cima said. “I worried about
everybody turning their back
on me and being a outcast
and people just continuing
to shun me because of what
happened. But there are
people out there who want
to help … who want you to
succeed.”
“They gave me a chance
when nobody else would.
It’s been the best job I’ve
ever had. They treat me
well.”
In a media release distributed Monday night, Beshear
said there were more than
3,400 requests for pardons
that had been reviewed over
several months. He specifically noted that several of
the pardons he issued were
for drug offenses.
“Throughout my administration, I have worked
tirelessly with legislative
leaders, local officials and
advocates to wipe out the
tragic impacts that substance abuse and addiction
have had on the people
of the Commonwealth,”
Beshear said. “A significant
part of that strategy has been
a focus on treatment, to
help these individuals have
a fighting chance at staying
clean and turning their lives
around. After carefully considering the details of each
of these cases, I am convinced that these individuals
deserve a second chance at
life with a clean record.”
A pardon from the gover-
nor completely wipes clean
from the recipient’s criminal record any convictions
that were the subject of the
pardon. It’s as though the
offense never happened.
Cima said he sees it as a
true “second chance at life”
“It’s like starting over. I got
that second chance now,”
Cima said.
“I hoped and prayed that
I would get it. I wanted it
more than anything. I was
hopeful, but I wasn’t getting
my hopes up too much,” he
added.
“God never gave up on
me.”

Barbourville, Kentucky
Dear Editor:
Re: Wet/Dry Issue
It appears from a quick review of the recent alcohol petition (public record at
Courthouse) that it was presented by two non-residents and signed by many with spurious
standing with given addresses i.e. Pineville, Bull Run, Coalport, Heidrick, Girdler,
Harrodsburg, London, and Flatlick, Kentucky, among others. Furthermore, it seems that
approximately 68 of the petitioners gave the same address of 310 College Street. This
seems to indicate that students living in the dorm at Union College may be largely behind
this petition. These students want to permanently change a small community and a
Methodist college with open liquor stores and bars even though they may not be around
in the next six months to 4 years to realize its potential harm. Ironically, many of these
students who are over 18 years of age but under 21 years of age, can sign a petition and
vote for liquor sales but can’t legally purchase liquor for as many as 3 years from now.
Certainly our community and college leaders must know the danger of placing
liquor stores in a small college town. Our neighbors who are wet, such as Jellico,
Cumberland, Manchester, and Corbin, do not have dormitory campuses. Williamsburg,
which is only “moist”, restrained from opening their campus up to liquor stores and bars.
Liquor outlets in our town will inevitably be within walking distance of the college
campus. Moreover, drug stores, grocery stores, and convenience markets will be eligible
to sell beer and wine.
The news is filled with examples of college campuses in wet areas around the
country that have been faced with soaring numbers of student deaths from binge drinking,
DUIs, violent rape, assaults, both physical and sexual, and other violent crimes. This has
resulted in some areas to conduct in-depth studies to determine whether alcohol outlets
located within walking distance of college campuses have a measurable effect on crime
rates. The University of Wisconsin completed such a study in 2013 and found that
alcohol outlets placed near campuses significantly increase the consumption of alcohol of
students, as well as, the number of rapes and assaults on college campuses. University of
Wisconsin Population Health Institute, November 2013. The study found that “total
alcohol density in college communities are associated with increased crime and with
numerous secondhand effects of heavy alcohol use such as noise and disturbances,
vandalism, drunkenness, vomiting and urination.” NCADD reported that 95% of violent
crime on college campuses involve the use of alcohol by the assailant, victim or both.
In view of the obvious down side to liquor outlets being placed within walking
distance of the college, our citizens need to remind our community and college leaders of
the costs associated with a small college town going wet. Three years ago, Frankfort
sent a representative of the ABC Office to Barbourville and he explained that due to the
population of our town, we would be eligible for one liquor store, but due to the need for
proper competition, we would likely get two liquor stores approved by Frankfort. A vote
yes will result in two liquor stores inside our city limits and an indeterminate amount of
beer and wine outlets. Restaurants may participate if they can serve over 100 patrons and
do not exceed 30 % of their revenue from liquor or beer.

“We have people calling
throughout the year for
information.”
The office usually
schedules their day of free
service on the first week of
December. Patients must
call ahead and make an
apointment to be seen.
The University of Wisconsin Study further found that “[c]ollege students… also
report higher drinking on game days with crimes such as assaults, vandalism, and arrests
for disorderly conduct . . . increased sharply . . . during game days.” This study
recommended college leaders use regulatory authority (i.e. strict zoning laws) to prevent
outlets close to campuses in already established wet towns to address such harmful
effects on student life. Can we afford to experiment with the lives of young people in a
small town by offering liquor, beer, and wine within walking distance to our dormitory
campus? What will our town look like on weekends and after ballgames? How about
possible bars, alcohol related assaults, rapes, and scores of students intoxicated in the
streets? Join me and others in voting to defeat this misguided effort by college students,
sympathizers, and non-residents to introduce sales of liquor in our small college town on
December 29, 2015.

ly, all of them, plus the

graphics department.
Yeah, you could say
it’s a busy time of year.
But this year, with a
Wet/Dry vote coming
just four days after
Christmas, things here
at the Advocate have
gotten not just crazier
than normal, but ultra-hectic.
So, I just want to
pause for a quick
minute and publicly
say, “Thank you,” to all
the great people who
work at the Advocate. I
know it’s been interesting lately and you have
been challenged a bit.
However, it’s not just
me who appreciates all
this crew’s hard work
and professional dedication.
President Hawkins
from Union told me
recently she has been
impressed by our “rich,
local content.”Maybe
it’s just the holiday
spirit, but several folks
have commented to me
recently how they think
the paper has improved,
or that they liked a
video we posted online,
or decided to Like us

us on twitter.And while
I do love hearing all
those wonderful comments, I must confess
it’s Bobbie, Charles,
Mollie, Wanda, Maria,
Emily, and Jessica,
helped by Mike, Jeremiah, Gerald, Barb, Chris
and Steve who deserve
the credit.
And if you are like
us, and find yourself
with more to do than
time available to get it
done, just hang in there!
Somehow, if we focus
on the important stuff,
things seem to work
out.
In just two weeks it
will all be over. “Santa’s
sleigh will be empty and
parked. All the beautiful
holiday decorations that
help make Barbourville so beautiful will be
coming down shortly.
The wet/dry election
will be history and a
New Year will be upon
us.
So, I think maybe now
is a good time to take a
deep breath, remember
the real reason for the
season, and enjoy every
moment of the last few
days before Christmas.

Letters to the Editor
Acohol ‘will only be creating more problems’
It is with much heartfelt
conviction that I write this
letter.Three years ago I wrote
a similar letter and my views
have not changed concerning
the vote for alcohol.Having
been born in this unique town
of Barbourville, I have many
fond and warm memories of
my upbringing.I was blessed to
be raised in a Christian home
with loving parents.I felt safe,
secure.I can remember that we
did not always need to lock our
doors but really never thought
of any harm coming to us.
Fortunately, for my children
raised in this town, we had the
same confidence of being safe
and feeling secure.Unfortunately, for my granddaughter, that
is not the same situation today.
We cannot leave our homes
unlocked and feel secure.Many
homes have security systems
in order to feel protected.Times
have certainly changed.
Drugs are rampant today.
As a teacher for many years, I
have seen families torn apart,
children being raised by grandparents or being put in foster
homes because of alcohol and
drugs and the impact they have.
Our children are always the
victims of these situations.Each
year I taught I saw more and
more problems that families
had.It was heartbreaking!!
To legalize the sale of alcohol
in our town will only be creating more problems.The Ky.
State Police reported in 2010,
there were 5,008 alcohol related collisions killing 167, injuring
2,489 and 428 were incapacitating injuries.The numbers will
only go up when there is more
alcohol sold.U.S. Department
of Justice study found that as
many as 40% of violent crimes,
including break-ins, occurs
under the influence of alcohol.
Alcohol kills more teenagers
than all other drugs combined.
It is a factor in the three leading
causes of death among 15 to 24
year-olds: accidents, homicides, and suicides.
The National Center for
addiction and Substance Abuse
tells us that for each dollar in
alcohol, tobacco taxes and
liquor revenues that federal
and state governments collect,
$8.95 is spent dealing with the
consequences of substance
abuse and addiction.Our people are told that the tax money
received will go for improvements to our town.This money
cannot be used to pave streets
or in the general fund of the
city.KRS 243-025 says that fees
are to be used for administra-
tive and enforcements of alcoholic beverage control laws.
I choose NOT to drink alcohol.I have friends that do drink,
socially.They are “responsible”
drinkers.However, for each

The Battle for Barbourville intensifies
City Council was very
interesting last Thursday.In the
Citizen Comments time we
were informed by the leader
of the wet vote of his vision of
the benefits of alcohol flowing
in Barbourville.Complete
with visuals and emotions
that brought out a round of
applause from supporters and
city council.While the hopeful
positives were presented
the negatives were almost
unheard but nevertheless realities are still present.
We were also informed by a
social scientist that scientists
from Louisville are certain
that if Barbourville does not
provide beer to its citizens,
they will certainly choose
crystal meth.Folks wake up,
clear thinking had best come
to the front and bring along its
vote or Barbourville will be in
big trouble.
People choose meth to drop
out of reality and feel good.
We need to substitute liquor
so that people can drop out
and feel good?Their hangover
is safer? Their addiction is
slower and this is a good, or
better thing, for our community?What about the people
who have to live with the
group who drops out?
That social scientist said that
we must be careful how we
word our statutes because the
states regulations are very tricky.
We can lose the tax revenue
windfall if we are not careful.
Corbin, which may have more
liquor per capita than anyone in
the state, after all they have the
“King” of all liquor stores, must
not know how to word their
statutes.They have had to give
back monies they misspent into
the alcohol clean up funds.They
have reversed hiring and struggle
with revenue streams (per the
article in last week’s paper).
We were told that the liquor
tax would be a windfall for
our city, freeing up other monies that would be allocated for
law enforcement, etc. But that
is not the way the state looks
at it.We are allowed to keep
that tax because we will need
it.The truth is that when you
bring liquor into a community,
you bring in negative forces
that will require the need for
more expenditure for police,
etc.When you create a need
for the money you get, how is
that a windfall?
Police try to keep you safe
or figure out who committed
the crime—they don’t pay for
the mess created.The rehabilitation hospital is paid to help a
person get over an addiction;
it doesn’t replace the loss of
productivity or loss of relationships that their addiction
destroyed.
All the tax money in the
world won’t fix some losses.
Keep this cancer as far away
from our community as you
can.VOTE NO TO ALCOHOL.

Union College’s accreditation reaffirmed
BY ANDREW POWELL
The Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools Commission on
Colleges announced this
week that Union College
has earned its 10-year
accreditation reaffirmation. The reaffirmation is a
strong vote of confidence
by one of the nation’s
leading accrediting bodies
in the quality of education
Union provides.
The reaffirmation was
announced to the Union
College campus yesterday by President Marcia
Hawkins and Dr. David
Johns, Vice-President for
Academic Affairs. The pair
attended the SACSCOC
annual conference this
week in Houston, where
they learned of the accreditation reaffirmation from
the SACSCOC Board of
Trustees.
“This is a noteworthy
accomplishment and the
result of the hard work and
dedication of our entire
campus community,”

Dunaway quoted statistics that said the railroad
$20 million payroll would
roll over into the economy
between seven and ten
times before it leaves the
economy.
“Barbourville and Knox
County has always been
wet, it will always be wet,”
said Dunaway. “This election is not going to change
that, but this election
gives us the opportunity to
control it through legalizes
alcohol sales.”
Dunaway made note of
the revenue being brought
into the neighboring
cities, including $300,000
to Manchester, $700,000
to Corbin (which he said
was documented in the
first year). As Barbourville’s size is somewhere
between Manchester and
Corbin, Dunaway estimates $500,000 revenue
income from alcohol sales.
As KRS Statutes state the
revenue from income on
alcohol sales must be used
to police the sale of alcohol, Dunaway noted that
$500,000 of the $1.2 million
spent on police salaries
could be used elsewhere
over the next 10 years to
make improvements to the
city.
Dunaway added that
people, even those from
here in Barbourville, go to
President Hawkins said.
“The impact of Union on
the lives of students and
the future of our region
is significant and the
SACSCOC reaffirmation is
one of several indicators
that other institutions find
value in our work.”
Federal regulations
require all institutions of
higher education to meet
accreditation standards
and to undergo a thorough
review every 10 years.
Union was last reaffirmed
by SACSCOC in 2005. Dr.
Johns says SACSCOC operates as an independent accrediting body comprised
of members from peer
institutions, which creates
a high level of scrutiny and
expectation during the reaffirmation process. Union
did an exceptional job
meeting the expectations
the organization set forth,
he said.
“The board’s decision
to reaffirm Union comes
after a lengthy and very
thorough evaluation of
the entire college and it expresses confidence in the
direction we are moving,”
Dr. Johns said.
Both President Hawkins
and Dr. Johns congratulated the Union College family for the accomplishment
and thanked them for their
work. Dr. Johns said the reaffirmation process came
after two years of internal
review, policy updates and
meeting benchmarks for
student achievements.
“The good news we are
celebrating follows a num-
activity funds receipts and
spent roughly $18,000 in
the correct manner.
The audit report was
nearly spotless, with only
one write-up.
“You only had one writeup and it was a minor one.
Occasionally, multi-receipt
forms were not used.
There were receipts, but
no multi-receipt forms,”
explained Miller.
She went on to praise
the work of Beulah Campbell, Barbourville Indepen-
dent Finance Officer.
“To only have one really
small comment is a real
plus for your finance department.”
Other topics covered at
the December meeting
were:
•Mikela Rhodes and
Matthew Dixon spoke of
their experiences with
the Governor’s Scholars.
•The Barbourville Golf
Team was recognized
for winning the State
Championship.

to light.
According to a statement
issued by former Governor
Steve Beshear, “I spent
many long days weighing
the merits and circumstances of individual cases
before making my final
decisions. The pardon
authority afforded me by
Section 77 of the Kentucky
Constitution isn’t something I take lightly. We are
talking about action that
impacts the lives of so
many individuals.”
Gambrel was one of two
woman who had their sentenced commuted to time
served while on parole.
Corbin do to more than
just eat. They stay and
shop and spend more of
their money.
He also took into account the number of businesses, including KCEOC
and Union College, or
churches that have bought
land that subsequently
have been removed from
the city’s property taxes.
“All these years, we have
taken these properties off
the property taxes, and we
have not put anything back
on. I don’t know who you
do what you do with what
you have to work with, but
you cannot keep taking
things away and not put
anything back and expect
to make ends meet.”
Dunaway asked Barbourville Police Chief Winston Tye how many DUIs
his police force handles in
a year and how many of
those were alcohol related. The chief said his force
sees between 250 and 300
cases of which 10 percent
of those are actually drug
related. The other 90 percent are drug related.
“Our number one problem in Knox County is not
alcohol,” said Dunaway.
“It’s drugs.”
“When we go to the
poles, we choose the
direction we want to take.
Are we going to be stuck in
the 30s and 40s here forever or are we going to move
into the 20th century?”
Pastor Leonard Lester
admitted Dunaway made
several good points in his
presentation, including
Barbourville’s problems
with drugs, no drug-free
labor pool, and property
tax revenue. These problems, he added, are the
same all over the nation,
and particularly here in
Appalachia. However,
Pastor Lester reiterated the
importance of Barbourville
being the only city in the
surrounding area that has
said no to alcohol.
“We were named the
best city in southeastern
Kentucky to live,” said
Pastor Lester. “I think that
says something about our
streets and our festivals
and the way we look at
our community and the
health and safety of our
community.
Pastor Lester agreed that
Barbourville has a drug
problem, but felt the city
compounding that problem with alcohol is a real
danger.
“We exorcized our right
to vote once and we said
no. We want to do positive
things for our community
and I don’t feel this is a
positive thing. The death
of jobs in this area is more
important than just bringing in alcohol.”
Resident John Phoenix
came at the alcohol vote
from a different perspective.
“We’ve had moral
discussions and economic
discussions,” he said. “I’m
here as a social scientist.”
Phoenix then went on
to say that, according to
his research, “regardless
of people’s intentions, a
vote against beer is going
to be a vote for crystal
meth,” referencing a
University of Louisville research project on crime,
drug use and alcohol
availability in the state of
Kentucky.
In a nutshell, Phoenix
explained to the council, “If people cannot get
alcohol,” he said, “they
substitute alcohol for other
drugs.”
ber of other affirmations of
our work,” he said. “In the
past few months, Union
has received a $1.4 million
grant from the U.S. Department of Education to
strengthen academic support for students and over
$400,000 in Title III funding
to assist with innovation
in educational delivery.
In addition, this semester
our Education Studies Unit
received both state and
national accreditation, an
important achievement
for the college and a great
benefit to our students.”
President Hawkins said
Union excelled in the reaffirmation process and the
institution is dedicated to a
“continuous assessment of
programming to maintain
high quality and to ensure
the educational needs of
students are met.”
“As an institution we are
focused on student success
and moving in a direction
that will have great impact
our students for years to
come,” she said.
“The SACSCOC decision
affirms Union’s efforts and
allows the institution to
focus attention on several
crucial areas: increasing
access to quality education,
encouraging student learning and success, preparing
students for meaningful
work and a fulfilling life,
and building a community
that impacts the future,” Dr.
Johns said. “In the months
ahead, we will use what we
have learned throughout
this process to strengthen
what we do and to fulfill our
mission more effectively.”
SACSCOC is the largest
of the nation’s regional
accreditors and works to
ensure the educational
quality and improve the
effectiveness of 800 colleges
and universities across
eleven states. The organization is headquartered in
Atlanta. Official notification
of Union’s reaffirmation will
be posted on December 15
on the SACSCOC website,

Union and Clearfork Institute partner for Bonner Institute
Jodi Carroll, Director of
Union College’s Center
for Civic Engagement and
Marie Webster, Executive
of Clearfork Community Institute, presented
a workshop at the fall
Bonner Directors and
Coordinators Meeting &
Assessment Institute. The
Institute was hosted by
the Corella & Bertram F.
Bonner Foundation. The
workshop was titled “Rural Disadvantage; Bonner
Impact” and was inspired
by the noticeable and
disproportionate lack of
resources for individuals
living in extremely rural
locations.
William P. O’Hare of
the Carsey Institute describes this issue in “The
Forgotten Fifth; Child Poverty in Rural America.”
O’Hare says, “Poor
children living in rural
America face significant
educational, social, and
economic challenges;
but many of these prob-
lems are exacerbated by
the isolation and limited
access to support services common in rural
areas. The urban focus
of welfare programs
means policy makers
shortchange needy rural
families when designing
and implementing the
safety net.”
Union College and
Clearfork Community
Institute have partnered
with the Bonner Foundation to develop programming in which Bonner
students will address the
socio-economic problems associated with
rural America. Participants in the workshop
represented colleges and
universities across the
United States at which
Bonner students receive
community service scholarships.
Participants contributed to the early discussion of ideas to increase
high school graduation
and college attendance

among the children most
disadvantaged by this
phenomenon. Development is underway for a
year round mentoring
program that will include
Union College Bonner
Leader students. The
program will also include
other Bonner students
from around the country.
Faculty from Union
College, as well as other
institutions, will have an
opportunity to develop
and oversee research
and other academic
work of students involved
in this project. One of
the first communities to

will be the Clearfork Valley of Tennessee which
is near the birthplace of

Partners for Education at Berea College, EKU and
KCEOC with Promize Zone collaborators work toward
‘two-gen’ approach to end childhood poverty
Rural IMPACT ‘away’ team travels to D.C. for training
When parents overcome poverty, their
children benefit from
better opportunities with
fewer hardships. Triumph
over these barriers to
advancement gives the
next generation a much
better chance at exponential success, elevating the
overall wellness of families and positively affecting
the region.
What can be said simply
with a couple of sentences
becomes overtly complex
as those families are halted by barriers that include
everything from lack of
transportation, inadequate
or non-existent childcare,
lack of nearby education
and technical training,
and even basic existence
needs as they attempt this
journey toward success
and independence. These
roadblocks are oftentimes
enough to destroy all hope
and cause those who
would otherwise become
successful to retreat into
an all-to-familiar life of
complacency and acceptance.
Removing barriers and
restoring hope to children and parents simultaneously is the thought
process behind utilizing a
two-generation approach
to combating childhood
poverty in Knox County
and the Promise Zone.
This “two-gen” ideology
is also the driving force
behind a local project
that involves over a dozen
agencies standing ready to
combine forces, breaking
down several barriers to
family success.
Partners for Education
at Berea College Rural
Integration Models for
Parents and Children to
Thrive (IMPACT) team will
work to align the services
and support provided by
local agencies to parenting youth age 14-24
and their children. The
Rural IMPACT team will
work to remove government barriers, combine
databases and unite the
sharing of information between agencies to create
a model that will lay out
the process a family in
need must go through to
obtain services. In order
to create a successful
to childhood success, the
team is looking to find the
gaps as well as overlaps in
education, transportation,
childcare, social services,
financial counseling and
family counseling services.
The Rural IMPACT
“away” team recently
worked with federal
officials on behalf of Knox
County and the Promise
Zone during training in
Washington D.C. While
there, the team, which included Associate Director
Knox County Full-Service
Community Schools Program Kelli Moore, Executive Director Partners
for Education at Berea
College Dreama Gentry,
KCEOC CEO Paul Dole,
KCEOC Family Services
Manager Rhonda Martin
and Eastern Kentucky University Regional Stewardship Coordinator Melissa
Newman, gained more
knowledge about the
to fighting childhood poverty and building a successful framework moving
forward. That framework
includes blending efforts
of existing service entities
like early childhood education, health and wellness, elementary, middle
and high school college
and career readiness initiatives, GED offerings and
other technical trainings,
as well as college and
university programs.
In order to define family
success and understand
the barriers that stand
between parent and child
success, the Rural IMPACT team will rely on the
community as it gathers
information on needs
assessments by talking
with single parents, child
care providers, teachers,
professors, doctors, social
workers, community officials and business leaders from small and large
businesses.
Knox County, along with
nine other communities,
was chosen as a Rural
IMPACT demonstration
site. The sites will receive
technical assistance and
capacity-building services

that address the challenges of rural childhood
poverty. Knox County is included as one of the three
sites that are Appalachian
communities, along with
Highland County Community Action Organization,
Inc. (Serving Highland
County, Ohio) and Garrett
County Community Action
Committee and the Allegany Human Resources
Commission (Serving Garrett and Allegany Counties,

The Rural IMPACT
demonstration project is
administered by the U.S.
Department of Health and
Human Services with support from the Community
Action Partnership and
the American Academy
of Pediatrics and implemented in collaboration
with Appalachian Regional
Commission (ARC); the
U.S. Departments of Ag-
riculture, Education, and
Labor; the Delta Regional
Authority; and the Corporation for National and
Community Service.
The Rural IMPACT team
anticipates a framework
for aligning services at the
end of six months and the
initial implementation to
launch at the end of one
year. The team will also
work to plan a Scholar
House to serve Knox and
surrounding counties’
parents ages 18-24.
A Scholar House is a
housing and education
initiative that enables
the head-of-household
to reach self-sufficiency.
Scholar House residents
receive counseling, workshops, and support while
fulfilling academic or
vocational training course-

House will include an
on-site child care facility to
allow time for the parents

Jackson WWS donates commercial dishwasher to Union
BY ANDREW POWELL
Jackson Warewashing
Systems, a commercial
dishwasher manufacturer
in Barbourville, has donated a conveyor dishmachine to Union College for
use in its campus dining
hall.
James McDowell, President of Jackson WWS,
announced the gift after
Union representatives
reached out to him.
“We provided Union
with a machine about 20
years ago,” McDowell said.
“We are pleased to come
back to them with another
gift that will serve the student population there for a
time to come.”
Jackson WWS provided
Union with a new AJ-86
Conveyor dishmachine.
McDowell said his company, which has produced
commercial dishwashers
for more than 85 years,
is proud to have a strong
partnership with Union
College.
“I have several employees that are graduates of
Union and I appreciate
all the opportunity Union
College provides for the
people of our area,” he
said. “We are happy to
support Union.”
Technicians from Union
College transported the
dishmachine from the
100,000 square foot Jackson manufacturing facility
outside of Barbourville to
the college campus. The
crew will work over the
semester break to remove
the old dishwasher and
install the new machine.
Michael McPherson,
Union’s Vice-President for
Advancement said Union
is very fortunate to have
the support of friends in
the community like Jackson WWS.
“This gift will make
a positive impact on
the campus for years to
come,” McPherson said.
“It is through partnerships
with outstanding companies like this that Union
College is able to continue
the important role we
serve in the community.
Union College is very
grateful to Mr. McDowell
and the entire team at
Jackson WWS for their
continuing support.”
Union provides daily dining services to more than
1,000 staff and students
on campus through a
partnership with Pioneer
Catering Services. Pioneer
hires many students to
help operate the kitchen
facilities.
Jackson WWS, Inc.
is a full-line supplier of
high-quality commercial
dishmachines including
flights, conveyors, doortypes, glasswashers and
undercounters. Founded
in 1925, Jackson stands
by their “Clean the First
Time®” commitment
with dishmachines that
deliver optimal cleaning performance while
reducing labor, chemical
and utility costs. With
more standard features,
lower operating and
acquisition costs and a
network of factory-certified technicians, Jackson sets the standard
for warewashing. Learn

Union College’s nursing
students shared the Christmas spirit of giving with
residents at the Barbourville Health and Rehab
facility last week. As the
Christmas season neared,
students took the initiative
to organize a sock drive,
helping to warm the season for the residents living
at the facility.
“It is something you
don’t always think about
people here needing, but
there is actually a great
demand for socks, gloves
and simple things,” said
Marisa Greer, Union’s
Interim Dean of Nursing.
The students visited
the facility last Friday and
delivered 138 pairs of
socks, gloves and several
blankets to the residents.
Several Union nursing
students practice clinical work at Barbourville
Health and Rehab and
work with the residents
daily.
Greer said the project
was wholly initiated by
the nursing students and
supported with donations
from Union’s student body
and staff.

A midnight meal on Chirstmas Eve
“They’re activities that people do every
year on special occasions. On Christmas
Eve, we all get together and have tasty
finger-foods, don’t we? But when I was
young, our tradition was to eat a fullcourse meal very late, after we got home
from Midnight Mass.”
my mother was young she lived in many
places, so we would have lots of other
things too. People loved my mother’s
cooking, and we always had a big crowd
on Christmas Eve. I used to love watching
Mum grind meats to make her famous
meat pies. Personally, though, I wasn’t
crazy about the rabbit pie, or the mincemeat. But Mum’s dessert pies were the
best. She always made apple, cherry,
coconut cream and my favourite: butterscotch. She would serve such huge
slices! People raved over her fruit cakes
too, but I still think fruit cakes are yucky.”
“You ate supper after midnight?”
“Me too,” Chloe agreed.
“We used to. These days, church services
are usually held earlier, and some people
don’t go at all.”
“I also loved my mum’s Swedish tea ring
with tons of raisins and cinnamon. She
would also make or buy a Yule log. That’s
a little cake in the shape of a log with
chocolate icing. It never seemed to get
eaten, though. I guess we had too much
other food.”
“Gramma Jazzy, why does Christmas Eve
always smell so good at your house?”
“Do you know what traditions are, Chloe?”
“Sort of.”
“But you used to eat supper so late. You
must have been starving by then!”
“Not really; we children would have a
snack at suppertime.”
“What kind of things would people have
for their midnight meal?”
“It depends. I come from the Maritimes,
so we would have traditional Acadian
food like rappie pie and lobster. But when
“I wish we could have a late supper like
that.”
“Maybe one year we’ll do that, honey.”

a three point shot to make
the score 51 to 45 Boyle
County. Boyle County’s
Colton Elkins scored two
points at the 5:20 mark,
furthering their lead 53 to
45. At the 3:55 mark, Cameron Hammon for Knox
Central received a long
pass and scored a layup
to make the score 47 to

With 2:06 left, Elkins for
Boyle County scored two
points from the right side

around the rim endlessly
before it finally dropped in.
At the two minute mark,
Knox Central worked the
ball down the court and
passed it around to try and
create an opportunity to
score when Jermel Carton
received the ball and shot
and scored two points to
make the score 50 to 55
Boyle County. With just
over a minute remaining
the teams were hip-checking and elbowing each
other to the floor as they
rushed to put more points
on the board. Wade Liford
for Knox Central went
up for a layup at the 1:06
mark, but missed. Fortunately for the Panthers,
Chad Marsee was there
in time to rebound the
shot to make the score 52
to 55 Boyle County. With

third win, ”We started out
the game a little sluggish,
but we turned the tempo
up and pushed our lead
up by 22 points, added
to it in the third quarter,
and just coasted into the
fourth.” He went on to list
several players that everyone needs to keep an eye
out for, “It’s early in the
season, but I think Austyn
Weddle is doing a good
job for us, Bruce Hopkins
has been running point
and being a forward leader for us, Andrew Jones,
Austin Mayor, Antonio, and
Jake are all playing really
well. I think our strengths
at this point are getting
inside, we’re stronger in
the paint that we are out
on the floor.” Austyn Weddle led the team in points
scored with 17 points.
The girls competed
against Red Bird second
and just like the boys they
put the Red Birds in their
place early. In the first
quarter at the 7:22 mark,
Kesha Brock for Lynn
Camp dribbled down
the right side of the court
and jumped up to score a
three point shot, then five
seconds later Mackenzie
Grant scored a layup to
put the Wildcats up 4 to 0.
At halftime the Wildcats
were up 37 to 13. In the
fourth quarter, Red Bird
scored first at the 7:00
mark and again at the 6:05
mark to make the score 49
to 21 Lynn Camp. As the
game wore on girls grew
more and more aggressive
and often ended up on the
floor fighting for possession of the ball. At the
2:15 mark, the Wildcats
worked the ball down the
court and Tesla Wynn for
Lynn Camp scored a layup
to make the score 53 to
28. With 1:43 left, No. 25
for Red Bird scored two
points to make the score
53 to 31. There was only
one minute remaining
when Laytoya Lee fell to
the ground with a Red
Bird and was called for a
foul, giving the Red Birds
two free throws. The Red
Birds scored again with
only 40 seconds left, but
the Wildcats bit back two
seconds later when Lee
scored two points for the
Wildcats to make the final
score of the game Lynn
Camp: 55 Red Bird: 33.
Head Coach Richard
Jones, “Our first unit took
care of business and did
what they were supposed
to, but I’m not real happy
with how our second unit
played. Overall, a win is a
win. Our strongest point
right now is our guard
play; they’ve played
strong so far.” Coach
Jones went explained,
“We still have some girls
who are hurt that could
help us, but we have to
develop some of these
younger players to help
us out and we got to get
the players to play the
whole game.”
The Lynn Camp High
Team will take on Berea

at 7:30 and the girls will

Celebrate a Christmas Legacy of Love
Most people assume
that Christmas is hardest
for children who have
stopped believing in Santa
Claus…But I think the
holidays are most difficult for those who have
experiences a recent loss,
through death or divorce,
particulary if this is the first
or second holiday after
their world has been torn
asunder.
Many single mothers
often feel uncomfortable
at Christmas and unconsciously convey this discomfort to their children.
One way this is done is
by putting off holiday
preparations until the last
moment, then throwing
everything together in a
halfhearted frenzy. Perhaps one of the reasons
single women and single
mothers experiences
difficulty during Christmas
time is because, deep in
their hearts, they think
holiday traditions belong
only to perfect Norman
Rockwell families. The
first time a woman newly
on her own opens the
ornament box alone {if
she even bothers to pull
out out}, she experiences
such a sense of loss she
my decide not to continue the holiday rituals she
once treasured because
compararison of Christmases Past with Christmas
Present is to painful.”
What’s the point?” she
says.
The point is we all need
the reassuring and healing
messages that treasured
rituals provide.
“One of the most
important aspects about
family traditions---rituals
that families continue to
do year after year is that
traditions have symbols
and families need symbols,” You bring out the
old glass, you sing the old
songs, you say the same
prayer, you wear a certain
outfit, you set the table in
a certain way. These are
the unconscious moments
of family ritual that become emotional security
blankets to be tugged on
in times of stress.
Cherished customs
are just as important for
grown women as they are
for children. Our souls
can never outgrow the
yearning for luminous
Memories
Mildred Higgins
and liminal moments of
Wholeness.
So, unpack those beloved holiday traditions.
Create new traditions that
express your new lifestyle.
Traditions are the
guidepost driven deep into
our subconscious minds.
{Author Unknown}
Millie’s thought for
today; “Blessed be the ties
that bind,” we live in a fast
pace that allows less time
for holiday prepration..
Even the most serious
among us make the time
to reminisce about the
past.
Around this time of the
year, we start thinking
of family. Although the
configuration of the Family
has changed drastically
since the Victorian era,
what hasn’t changed is
our need for close ties to
those who call us their
own.
Back in the day to
grandmothers house
we would go, No matter where grandmother
lived all roads lead to her
house. Real life often frays
the ties that bind families.
Some families are separated by distance, others by
estrangement and obligation. Many women today
care not only for their
children and spouses but
for their elderly parents.
However, it is possible
to draw close to those we
love if we plan for it. Try to
make the effort.
Share family stories..Recourd them on audiotapes
so they will not get lost. Especially have your parents
and grandparents record
their memories. I can
assure you from personal
experience after he has
gone, the sound of your
fathers voice will break
your heart and become a
priceless keepsake.
My quote for today: Call
it a clan, call it a network,
call it a tribe, call it a
famly. Whatever you call
it, whoever you are , you
need one. Jane Howard.

annual Christmas
meeting

The Dr. Thomas Walker Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution met for their annual Christmas brunch
and meeting at the beautifully decorated home of Mary
Alice Lay on Cumberland Avenue in Barbourville. Ms. Lay
and sister Milton Dunaway, along with a few Club members, outdid themselves with the delicious meal that had
been prepared. Ladies feasted on food and drinks such
as egg casserole, potato casserole, homemade biscuits,
gravy, honey-baked ham, grits, fresh fruits, sausage
balls, rice pudding, homemade pound cake with caramel icing, pecan tarts, homemade candy, eggnog, sparkling cranberry juice, orange juice and more. After the
food the Christmas story from Luke 2 was read by DAR
Regent Claudia Gibson Greenwood. The group lead by
Jane Skidmore sang, “Joy to the World” and exchanged
Christmas gifts. Members brought children’s books that
would be donated to the Knox County Health Department
HANDS Program. The group was especially thankful for
recovering club members Jane Blair and Donna Martin to
have been in attendance. Pictured are Dr. Thomas Walker
Club members Barbara Black and Mary Alice Lay.
Registered nurses working across
Kentucky and beyond can now earn
a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing
completely online with Union College’s new online RN-BSN program.
Dr. David Johns, Union’s
Vice-President of Academic Affairs,
announced the launch of the program last week. The online adaptation of the program follows the
initial development of the on-campus RN-BSN degree option at Union
in 2010 through the Edna Jenkins
Mann School of Nursing.
“We are excited to include this offering among our online programs,”
Dr. Johns said. “Union’s online RNBSN option will give more registered
nurses the opportunity to continue
to support their careers and their
families, but to also find the time
available to pursue a bachelor’s degree that will strengthen their career
options.”
Dr. Johns says the online RN-BSN
program will utilize Union’s professional nursing educators and
high-tech curriculum setting for all
coursework. Union also has agreements with a variety of healthcare
facilities in the state allowing RNBSN students to complete clinical
work close to home and on a schedule convenient to them.
Marisa Greer, Union’s Interim
Dean of Nursing, says the new
online nursing program option will
serve to improve the education
of nurses in the field and level of
healthcare provided throughout the
region.
“It is wonderful to have the opportunity to provide this program
to nurses throughout the region,
Kentucky and beyond,” Greer said.
“We know they work hard in their
careers and look for ways to gain
additional education to advance
in the nursing field. I am glad that
Union College is so focused in this
area.”

Union College is now providing nurses the opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree in nursing through a new online format.
Greer said more and more
healthcare facilities are requiring
the advanced nursing degrees and
many offer financial support to
encourage their nurses to pursue
a bachelor’s degree. Nurses with
a bachelor’s degree are eligible
for a broader scope of career
options as well as graduate study.
Union’s online RN-BSN program
can be completed in as little as 18
months, Greer said.
The Edna Jenkins Mann School of
Nursing at Union College offers students the RN-BSN program online
as well as a pre-licensure degree
program in nursing for on-campus
students. Union’s nursing programs
are accredited by the Commission
on Collegiate Nursing Education and
the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on
Colleges.

A cake that will impress! Get in the Christmas spirit
Confessions
of a Baking
Queen
Kristy Dean Cole
My paternal grandmother
was an exceptional woman.
Looking back through old photos of her, she is nicely dressed
with hat and white gloves. I
wouldn’t exactly call her proper, but she was a spitfire and
fiercely independent.
Women from those times
were not all meek and mild.
Some were the byproduct of
struggle and survival when
women often didn’t have a
voice. There was a house to
maintain, children to raise, dinners to be cooked, and dollars
to be stretched in a time were
dollars didn’t go far.
In her later years, she retired
to Sarasota, Florida near the
beach. When we visited, it
was clear that my Granny Gert
had a nice lifestyle. There was
a game called shuffleboard,
bingo for seniors, upscale
indoor flea markets, walks on
the beach, and rides through
the park on her three-wheel
bicycle. When we would
accompany her to her weekly
grocery store run, she would
strategically have the bag boy
arrange her groceries so so in
the trunk of her car. When we
would get back to her house,
putting away those groceries
and discovering the cashier
put a dozen eggs in with her
canned food, “Dumb Dame,”
she would say, checking to see
if the eggs were broken. Later
that evening, I would ask my
mom, what is a dumb dame
and was it a bad word? Hello,
I was probably 10 years old.
How many of you hear that
expression today?
This time of year makes me
think of her the most. Granny
Gert, ever a lady, every Christmas she ordered an elegant
table centerpiece and had it
delivered to our home while
she enjoyed winters down
south. Sometimes it would
be a live arraignment with a
small candelabra or hurricane
vase with candles. She always
believed every table should be
dressed to impressed during
the holidays. A box of Florida
oranges from the trees in her
yard would arrive a few days
later and we snacked on them
long after New Years.
Digging through years of
Christmas decor, because I
refuse to throw anything away,
I still have one of those table
centerpieces saved. It has to
be over 25 years old, but you
would never know it. Every
year, I wrap it up and put it
away in a box where it’s not
disturbed until the next year.
It doesn’t feel like Christmas
unless I see it on the table,
and it’s a way of keeping her
memory alive.
This recipe was one she
handed down to my mother
that I found recently looking
for a great Christmas cake. The
recipe card is old and faded,
but the cake is timeless.
Share a recipe with me,
email [email protected]
“I just can’t seem to get into
the Christmas spirit.” You might
have heard someone utter this
sentence these last several days
or maybe you have said this
yourself.
I think there are several
things that help us get the
Christmas Spirit. Strangely
enough it is not the giving and
receiving gifts because there often seems to be stress associated with gifts. Finding the “right
gift”, financial problems, have
I forgotten some one, will my
gift be in keeping with those
around me, I hate crowds, will
FedEx deliver on time, etc. All
and more can lead to stress
rather than the peace, the gift
the angels sang about.
But one thing that can
capture our emotions is MUSIC
whether it be the childhood
carols such as “Silent Night
or “Away in a Manager.” I don’t
spend much time in stores, I
have not heard carols over and
over again in a commercial
setting which might spoil the
effect. But there are Christmas
concerts in almost every town,
church and college settings.
Stinking Creek
News
Irma Gall
Lend-A-Hand Center
The Union College concert
the first of December does
an excellent job in creating
that feeling. There is usually a
mixture of the stately pieces
that emphasize harmony and
music talent along with a singa-long of several well-known
carols. This is interspersed
with romantic winter numbers
like “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” and “Walking in a Winter
Wonderland.” Of course there
should be time for “Santa Claus
is coming to Town” and “Jingle
Bells.” Oh, yes, music plays a
big part of this time of the year.
The family getting together
plays another important part.
It could be relatives or friends
coming in from afar off or the
family nearby. But there can be
a bit of stress around that also.
Someone has to be the host
family which usually means
lots of preparation along with
food. Unfortunately all too often
things can come up that makes
for disagreements between
family members.
But bring in a good beautiful snow and there seems to
be “the Spirit.” Oh, for sure,
snow is not always welcomed
by travelers in cars or airplanes.
But it is most certainly an element that can set off sentences
like “it feels so Christmasy.”
Snow is not mentioned in the
Bible about the birth of the
Christ Child nor even the idea it
was cold other than the normal
night chills. We do read that
there were shepherds “out in
the fields keeping watch over
their flocks by night,” but good
shepherds usually had their
flocks in shelter in bad weather.
Never the less, we often get
a special feeling when we
hear “I’m Dreaming of a White
Christmas.”
Whatever it takes—music,
hearing the Bible story, family
reunions, gift giving or even
snow, it is the time to get in the
Christmas Spirit and spread the
goodness associated with it.

Elves on the Shelf
visit the classroom
Santa’s been naughty!
This past weekend, he
told a set of twins in my
class that if they bought
lots of carrots, he would
let them keep Rudolph at
their house! The parent
is really upset as you can
imagine. I tried to help her
out. I told them that Santa
is such a kidder. I asked,
“Do you really think Santa
could do without Rudolph
at Christmas? He couldn’t
get through the snowstorms without Rudolph!”
One of the twins said,
“Well, maybe he will let us
keep Comet!” The other
twin gave a sigh and twisted her head, “Yah… cause
his nose is not so bright.”
Two Elves on the Shelf
visited our classroom last
week. They were sooo
mean! One of them was
hanging disrespectfully
from the flag pole and the
other one was hanging
out of our oven in the play
kitchen! We think she
tried to steal our turkey! I
was throwing a fit about

it when a little girl put
her hand on her hip and
exclaimed, “Like I’ve said
before… Elves have got an
attitude!”
Each month, I like to let
my students memorize a
poem for the holiday. This
month, they are learning
T’was the Night Before
Christmas. One of the
illustrations in the book
had Santa reading The
Good List. A little boy was
so excited to hear that
he and his mother were
both on the list! I asked,
“What do you think about
your dad not being on
the good list?” He quickly
replied, “I’m not surprised
at all cause he yells and
screams at me all the
time!” This wouldn’t be
so funny if I didn’t know
his dad. He’s a preacher…
and a fine one at that! A
little girl was also excited
with one of the names on
Santa’s List. She squealed,
“That’s my sister’s boss! I
know he’s good! He hired
her.”
As if Christmas weren’t
enough excitement, we
had another exciting
visitor this past week. Mrs.
Melinda Smith came to
visit our classroom. She
told us about her job and
brought three students to
assist her. They showed
us a stethoscope and
asked, “What do doctors
and nurses check with
this?” My students all
knew that doctors and
nurses use stethoscopes
to check hearts, but were
clueless about the lungs.
We gave the students
more clues and Mrs.
Smith asked again, “What
do you think we check
with these?” A little boy
exclaimed…”Your soul!”
Now, wouldn’t that be
grand?
