fugitive found in trailer park
BREAKINGNEWS @mountainadvocate.com Thursday, January 29, 2015 VOL. 110 - NO. 24 | 2 SECTIONS, 14 PAGES 214 KNOX STREET • BARBOURVILLE, KY 40906 copy 75¢ per FUGITIVE FOUND IN TRAILER PARK BY BOBBIE POYNTER EDITOR Knox County deputies Claude Hudson and Keith Liford received information Tuesday that there were two fugitives living in the Poindexter Trailer Park in Barbourville. One of the fugitives was supposed to be wanted out of Florida and the other from Kentucky. The deputies located Christopher Bruner, 27, of Barbourville, who was wanted on a Kentucky Parole Violation warrant. The other male was from Florida; however, no record of any arrest warrants could be verified Knox County Health Coalition near death? by the deputies from that state or any other. During the investigation, the deputies also located Julia A Kirkland, 25, of Hinkle. Kirkland was wanted on three Knox Coun- ty bench warrants for theft by deception stemming from bad checks issued to three separate victims. Kirkland was also charged with hindering prosecution and apprehension by attempting to hide Bruner inside the residence. Both Bruner and Kirkland were lodged in the Knox County Detention Center. Christopher Bruner Julia Kirkland Sheriff's Dept. cracking down on meth labs BY JAY NOLAN AND DAVID STEWART Publisher “Until further notice, we will not be having the Knox County Health Coalition meetings.” With that sentence, Robin Jones, FRYSC director, ended her e-mail notice to 128 different individuals associated with the local group. Does this mean the end of the entire Knox County Health Coalition? “I hate this,” said Brenda Graham, Director of Nursing for Knox County Hospital. “The health coalition has done a lot.” She mentioned the bicycle and walking track on Manchester Street, and the exercise equipment installed at Thompson Park as examples. While health care remains a top concern of all Knox County residents, according to recent surveys, finding a qualified leader for the health care coalition has been tough. Jones opened her message to the media and coalition members by saying: “We are postponing coalition meetings for lack of a leader… When asked at the last meeting if anyone was willing to take on the Chairperson role, we had no one to SEE COALITION, PAGE 3A do it.” Hammons retires after 30 years Photos courtesy of Knox County Sheriff’s Office Above: Knox County Sheriff ’s deputies arrested four people at this residence in Cannon for manufacturing meth.

Hammons, 61, has been at Barbourville City Hall since 1975. She was the city clerk until she retired the first time in December 2005. After eight months of rest and relaxation, Debbie Hammons had enough and was ready to go back to work. “I was bored to death,” said Hammons. “I was so happy to return to city hall in 2006 when Mayor Thompson asked me to come back part time as assistant city clerk. I’ll be forever grateful to him.” Hammons has outlasted seven different mayors, each with a totally different personality and each with his own priorities. “I’ve never had any problem with any of our mayors,” said Hammons. “They just expected us to do our jobs and continue to do what was best for the city and its citizens.” Of all the major changes to the city of Barbourville during her time at city hall, Hammons is most proud of two major projects completed in the city. “I was so glad to see the flood wall erected,” she said. “This has taken a load off of everyone’s minds. After the last flood, it’s a wonder Four people were arrested Tuesday, Jan. 20, by the Knox County Sheriff ’s Department for manufacturing methamphetamine. Knox County Deputies Claude Hudson and Keith Liford responded to a report of methamphetamine being manufacturing at a residence on Jordan Lane in Cannon. Upon arrival, the deputies noted several indicators that meth was being manufactured there.

THE MOUNTAIN ADVOCATE n Thursday, January 29, 2015 n 3A New Chamber officers elected Photo by Jay Nolan Corey Chesnut (left) and Darren West, pictured above, were elected as President and 1st Vice President respectively, of the Knox County Chamber for 2015. Other officers for 2015, (not pictured) but also elected at the meeting Tuesday afternoon were: Brian Abner, 2nd VP, Joni Croley, Secretary, and Joann Maybrier, Treasurer. HAMMONS FROM PAGE 1A anyone stayed in Barbourville. It just goes to show you what a strong town this is.” The floodwall has certainly made Barbourville safer, but Hammons sees her city from a different perspective. “I have continued to be in awe of the many improvements and beautification projects that have take place in Barbourville over the last 30 years,” said Hammons. “It makes us all proud to have visitors come into our city.” Hammons says she is looking forward to spending more time with her grandchildren and helping to take care of her elderly parents. But, she will always miss the camaraderie of those with whom she’s worked for so many years at city hall. “I’ve enjoyed the work and I’ve enjoyed the people,” she said. “However, I’m confident they will continue to carry on without me. I think I’m ready this time.” Debbie Hammons has been married to her husband, Lyle, for 23 years. Lyle is the former owner of H&R Auto Sales in Gray. They have three children, Byron Hammons, of London, who works at Aisin, Chris Mills and his wife Karen, of Gray - Chris Mills currently works for Surplus Sales. - and Matthew Mills, of Hydrick, who is a disabled United States Air Force veteran. They have four grandchildren, Tyler Mills, 16, a sophomore at Lynn Camp; Katie Mills, 14, an eighth grader at Corbin Independent; Halle Mills, 12, a sixth grader at Corbin Independent; and Jackson Mills, 8, who is in the second grade, also at Corbin Independent.

She and her husband left Union College and headed back to New York. There, she would enter the workforce and continue her education. Her husband started a business. They strived to have children and follow the American dream. The winds of change, however, abruptly halted her soar through life in the 1990’s. She lost her job, lost her husband and encountered “terrifying change.” It was the drift that defined the next period of her life. Stanton took the time to reflect upon her early life in New York in the late 1960’s. Most of those recollections brought her back to the evening news and continued stories of the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement and violence-wrought On Jan. 16, Knox County Deputy Sheriff Keith Liford received an anonymous tip of a possible meth lab on Arbor Dr. in Gray. Deputy Liford and Consta- ble Carl Bolton responded and contacted the owner. After receiving permission to search the residence, a container of white powdered substance and a container of prescription pills were found attached to a ring of keys, as well as, a partially cooked pill on a can and two syringes. Officers found a one step meth lab inside a truck in the driveway and arrested the owner, Billy Ray Lowe, 34, of Gray, charging him with manufacturing methamphetamine and other various drug related charges. Ryan Taylor, 34, of Gray, attempted to flee out a window when the officers arrived. He was also demonstrations regarding the two causes. It was then she recalled the nightly news accounting of the death of Viola Liuzzo, a white housewife who was murdered for answering Dr. King’s call. Liuzzo joined the Selma marches and was killed by the Ku Klux Klan for her involvement. A massive FBI cover up of the crime, as well as defamation of Liuzzo, followed. “President Johnson said she went to Alabama to answer the call of justice,” Stanton told the student body. “And, at that point, she became one of the most controversial of all the Selma martyrs.” This began Stanton’s foray into writing and a process in which she “wanted to clarify recollections of those news events.” She wanted to share a forgotten moment in civil rights history, but encountered so much more. “There you have my tes- tament to flight,” Stanton said. “Now, it is your turn.” During her visit, Stanton also returned a Robert Frost book, one that she has held overdue from the library for 42 years. She joked that a library annex could be built in her name using the late fees. She also spent time meeting with faculty and participating in classroom activities with Union students. In addition to Stanton’s speech, spring convocation also featured a recognition ceremony for Marie Cirillo, Co-Founder of the Clearfork Community Institute. Cirillo came to Appalachia in 1967 helping local families thrive through education, construction of homes and businesses and self-sustainability. Cirillo was recognized for her support to the Appalachian region by Union President Marcia Hawkins, Ph.D. Cirillo told a story of taking several Appalachian students, whom had never tions personnel. A disabled elderly female identified as the mother of accused William Gray was also present at the residence. She was treated by Knox County E. M. S. personnel and transported to a residence in Flat Lick. An anonymous tip led to the arrest of two Gray men for manufacturing methamphetamine. Anonymous tip leads to meth lab Billy Lowe Ryan Taylor arrested and charged with possession of drug paraphernalia. Kentucky State Police Drug Enforcement/ Special Investigations personnel were called to the scene to disarm and dispose of the meth lab. Taylor and Lowe were also served with active bench warrants for failure to pay fines. The two were both lodged in the Knox County Detention Center. been out of the mountains, to Washington D.C. for a conference. One of the students was astounded, upon his arrival in the nation’s Capitol, that there were more people than trees. To close convocation, Union College was presented the Golden Can award on behalf of the Kentucky Harvest Southeast. Each year through the program, Union competes against area colleges in a food drive to support needy families. Union College collected more than 4,000 pounds of food this year, once again contributing greatly to the community’s cause. This was the fourth continuous year Union was presented with the award. “You’re achievement is so much more than a trophy,” said Kentucky Harvest Southeast Treasurer Jim Revoir. “It’s about caring, a community and coming together to help those in need.” Nat’l Guard rep urges chamber to look for ways to help veterans Photo by Jay Nolan Lisa Roark, Family Assistant Specialist speaks with the Knox County Chamber. BY JAY NOLAN Publisher “If anyone knows of a veteran that is homeless, please let me know. Our goal is to get them help.“ That is one of several requests Lisa Roark, Family COALITION FROM PAGE 1A Belinda Prichard from the health department resigned as chair of the coalition late in 2014. Coalition Vice-chairman Josh Callahan, head of the Barbourville Utility Commission, has been acting as temporary chair at the meetings. However, he told the members he felt the chair of the health coalition should be a health care professional. Also, the retirement of an engineer added more time to his duties at the Utility Commission. All this, combined with his recent appointment to the health department board, “keep Assistance Specialist, for the Kentucky National Guard, made as she spoke to the Knox County chamber members on Tuesday. Roark, who is also the spouse and mother of National Guard Soldiers, challenged the membership to help in other ways as well. “Often, military members are proud. They won’t ask for help.” She said, adding, “if you have employees, friends or just know someone who is in the guard, or was a veteran, and they need help, that is what we are here for.” Roark told the chamber she serves the Southeastern Kentucky region, and is one of 10 Kentucky National Guard Family Assistance Specialist statewide. Her agency provides assistance in six different areas: Legal resources and referrals, Military ID Cards, Financial resources and referrals, Crisis intervention and referrals, Tricare resource and referrals, and community information and out reach services. She also reminded the chamber member members of the sacrifices local guard members have made. In addition to giving up one weekend a month and two to three weeks each summer for annual training, some local guard soldiers have completed a six-month deployment to Belgium, a 16-month deployment to Iraq, plus another six-month deployment to Iraq. Many members have done all three of those deployments according to Roark. “Our members and their families sacrifice a lot to serve our county. I know that personally,” Roark said, adding her husband, Terry, had completed all three deployments as part of his 26 years of service. Roark also told the group, “Most Guard members need more than their guard pay to make ends meet. However, some of them sometimes have trouble finding a full time job.” To help them, Roark announced that her organization is hosting a job fair. It will be March 5 and will be held in the London National Guard Armory, located behind the Kentucky State police office. She noted that KCEOC, and several other agencies from the region will be in the event, which is open to the public and him from conducting the meetings.” Jones reported. Several local groups came together years ago and founded the Knox County Health Care Coalition. Susan Liford, recently retired as Director of the Health Department, was instrumental in bringing the group to life. But, according to Jones’ message, the new Health Department Director has been approached and she does not have any plans to put someone in that position at this time. This Knox County Health Coalition has been going strong for many years and has made a lot of improvements in our community for everyone wanting to improve their chances of living a longer and healthier life,” said Jones. “Belinda Prichard had great vision of a healthy community, and she inspired a lot of people to get involved. That was evidenced by the large number of people who attended our meetings on a regular monthly basis. “Besides having a chairperson with the time and energy to promote so many initiatives, we will need a fiscal agent if we are to continue getting grants to provide increased resources in our community. Two key members were selected to approach the new director of the Health Department, (which they did), but we still have no solution except to suspend the coalition until these issues can be resolved.” Can’t afford advertising?

The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant.” - Max DePree Leadership, or the lack of it, seems to be in the news a lot this week. At least six different people filed as candidates by Tuesday’s deadline, all seeking to lead our state as the next governor. Locally, Leadership Tri-County, the leadership development group serving Knox, Laurel and Whitley Counties, announced they were recognizing the From the Publisher Jay Nolan [email protected] late Charley Green Dixon with a special memorial tribute at their upcoming banquet. In addition, they announced Dr. Mike Colegrove from the University of the Cumberlands and their Leader of the year. Unfortunately, the Knox County Health Coalition is now floundering, and could fall apart, due to lack of leadership. This group was formed to improve the health of a decidedly unhealthy community. Our county ranks high in illegal drug use, obesity, teen pregnancy, heart disease, smoking issues, and diabetic complications. Clearly there is a need for this group, focused on addressing these problems in our community. Plus, to date, the local coalition has accomplished much. From walking tracks to exercise and playground equipment, many tangible examples of their success are plainly visible. Less visible, but equally important is their combined knowledge base, experience, and vast network of personal and professional contacts required for this “behind the scenes” work. Properly led, this group could make a real difference for our county and region. As the opening quote of this column reminds us, leadership often requires being a servant. With a daughter in med- ical school, I understand something about how challenging the health care field is today. Most health care professionals have studied intensively and extensively to earn certifications and degrees. They have struggled and worked hard to earn positions that are challenging, time consuming and demanding. So I understand their reluctance to volunteer the time, effort and energy required to lead such an important, complex group. Plus, changing a culture is hard, slow work. Yet, I really hope one of our talented, qualified and community minded leaders will step forward. Because, without a committed servant leader, I think the coalition will vanish. Knox County will lose an organization that was slowly, but successfully, changing our entire culture – for the better. I think that would be a great loss. What do you think?

Sadly, we have a substance abuse epidemic. When I was growing up the biggest problem was alcohol abuse. A few people in our community were well known as bootleggers or drunks. When I was in college, students began smoking marijuana. Now I hear about every kind of drug and so many overdoses affecting people from all walks of life. I know three professional people who have lost their jobs and licenses due to substance abuse. A Knox County Hospital Emergency Room nurse shared that they have an average of one overdose a day. Almost daily people come into the County Attor- ney’s Office needing help with family members who have an addiction. They are so concerned that their loved one is going to die. Just this week I heard of a young gentleman that died either directly or indirectly as a result of substance abuse. I knew of this man and the struggles he had with drugs. He had a child that he loved dearly. I was hoping his love for his child would motivate him to stay clean. The dreaded drugs won the battle. They made him someone he did not want to be. Now a life is cut short, and a child is without a father. Jobs are lost. Families are broken. Happiness is gone. There are more deaths from overdoses in Kentucky than by automobile accidents. Claudia Gibson Greenwood Why is Prayer on the Square important? There is a banner attached to the handicap railing on the front of the County Courthouse in Barbourville that has become too familiar. The banner served a wonderful purpose when it was first displayed, drawing attention to a monthly gathering of folks serious about prayer. They were serious about specific prayer—prayer crying out to our Creator and Savior and Protector for intervention in the “serious” issues buffeting our city, county and region. This gathering on every 1st day of the month is made up of a unique group of people. They are individuals pulled together not because they are members of committed groups with a common agenda, but more individuals from all over the region drawn to the meeting because they are prompted by a need to present our cares to a Caring God as a community of like minded and like burdened believers. We gather to encourage each other and strengthen the petitions of citizens of two countries wanting blessings, healing, and protection for this our earthly homes. The banner we began talking about is now much overlooked. It is understandable because it has become part of the landscape having been viewed in the same place, wording, color, for over 5 years. But its message is still important. We need to gather and as the Greater Body of Christ link arms and raise our voices in synergism (multiplied power because we lift together) to our God because many needs are still pressing. We believe that God is pleased and honored by our gathering and will hear our concerns and move on our petitions. He is a just Judge, a Righteous Governor, a generous Creator, and a Compassionate Father. The 1st day of the month presents some logistical problems when the 1st falls on a Sunday or a Wednesday (as it does 5 times this year). It is often impossible to relocate our church services to the middle of Barbourville on those days. As a pastor I understand the limitations. However we believe a wonderful solution would be a prayer team commissioned by the individual churches to be a small representative presence on those conflicting times to both carry their churches burdens and share back with their churches what they have received from that meeting. We have tried to make our gatherings as non sectarian as possible but invite all who are followers of Christ to join together regularly. This Sunday evening at 7pm, Feb. 1, at the Knox County Courthouse, Barbourville, is our next Prayer on the Square. (I wonder if repositioning the banner might help?...)

Leonard Lester IRT-2046F-A Member SIPC THE MOUNTAIN ADVOCATE n Thursday, January 29, 2015 n 5A McDonald’s honors Barbourville general manager with prestigious national award Teresa Price receives 2015 Ray Kroc Award Lexington – Barbourville, KY is home to one of the nation’s top McDonald’s restaurant managers. Teresa Price recently received the Ray Kroc Award, an annual performance-based award that recognizes the top performing McDonald’s restaurant managers in the country. Named after McDonald’s Corporation founder Ray Kroc, the award was established fourteen years ago in 1999 to honor hardworking managers in both corporate owned and independently owned and operated restaurants – those who make Ray Kroc’s vision of excellence come to life in restaurants and for customers each day. A select 142 managers from all across the nation were chosen this year to receive the Ray Kroc Award, an honor that comes with a cash prize, a Ray Kroc award trophy, ring and pin and a trip to Chicago for an awards gala in March hosted by McDonald’s USA President, Mike Andres. Ray Kroc built the McDonald’s business on the belief that greatness can only be achieved through the dedication and support of a Company’s people. The award was named after him based on his commitment to people and recognizing their contributions to the organization he helped establish. Each year, this prestigious award is given to the top 1 percent of U.S. general managers from both independently owned and operated and company owned restaurants to recognize their superior performance and achievement. “Teresa is being honored with the coveted Ray Kroc Award is a true testament to her unwavering commitment to excellence, building our business and taking care of our customers’ needs each and every day,” said McDonald’s Local Owner/ Operator, Susan Mann “We are truly proud to have Teresa as part of our McDonald’s family and commend her on this truly amazing accolade.” Price has worked at the independently owned and operated Barbourville McDonald’s for 25 years as a valued manager. She is also a very involved employee, which reinforces her commitment to being a contributing member of the community as well as a valued employee. Winners of the Ray Kroc Award run high performing and profitable restaurants that meet McDonald’s critical customer standards of Quality, Service and Clean- Photo submitted Pictured from left to right are Donna Fridenmaker, McDonald’s field service, Susan Mann, local owner operator, John McDonald, McDonald’s field service, Teresa Price, Ray Kroc winner and McDonald’s store manager and Shane Smith, local director of operations. liness. They have strong business knowledge and achieve superior results in restaurant operations, people management and building the business. As a recognized leader in the restaurant, they develop a restaurant team focused on ensuring customers get a fast, accurate and friendly experience every visit. McDonald’s owner/operators or regional staff nominate restaurant managers for the Ray Kroc Award to recognize their hard work, dedication and commit- ment to McDonald’s. From there, a selection committee of representatives from McDonald’s Operations, Training and Human Resources select the top one percent of General Managers for the Ray Kroc Award.

BY CLAUDIA GREENWOOD For the Mountain Advocate Operation UNITE’s Carl Varney once again spoke recently to a group of parents about youth having “Life with a Record.” Approximately 50 adults gathered at the Barbourville First Baptist Church Courtyard learning how teens can easily get into trouble, even innocently. Social media has been the cause of much bullying, child pornography distribution, and deaths of youth. “Many of our teens think that using Yik-Yak, Snap Chat, and even Facebook information cannot be seen except for those intended. Since some of the information disappears after a short time off of their technical device, teens feel they are safe,” Varney explained. Varney shared that using such media sources puts all of the information into the media’s database and can legally be used by the owner of the database. The postings can also be tracked back to the device that it was posted on. He also shared other interesting information about drugs; in our area the average AUTO HOME LIFE BUSINESS first use of drugs is at age 11; most youth get their first drugs from home medicine cabinets or from friends; most all drug users began their substance abuse use with cigarettes, alcohol, or marijuana; and more people in Kentucky die from prescription drug overdoses than from automobile accidents. Plans are in the works for Varney to speak to students at Knox County schools in the near future. A MEMBER SERVICE KYFB.COM ® BIG ON COMMITMENT.

Lady Tigers cage Cardinals, 58-26 but lack ‘fight’ in loss to Williamsburg BY DENNIS MILLS [email protected] The Knox Central Panthers took on the Corbin Redhounds on Friday night at home. The Redhounds (12-6) broke a three game winning streak by upsetting the Panthers (12-8), 74-71. Knox Central had defeated Corbin by three points, 70-67, on Dec. 21 in the Knox Central Holiday Shootout and was coming off a big win against 13th Region opponent South Laurel, 59-54. The Panthers had strung together three consecutive wins including knocking off South Laurel and two 51st District opponents Barbourville and Lynn Camp. The Panthers jumped out to an early 7-4 lead behind free throws from Matthew Barger and a three point jumper form Nate Cole. Dustin Hensley drove in for a lay up on an outlet pass from Cole to put the score at 7-4 with SEE NAIL BITER, PAGE 3B ABOVE: Lady Tiger Shelbie Jones battles for position against Williamsburg’s Sydney Tye in the first quarter of a 66-23 loss. BY DENNIS MILLS [email protected] The Barbourville Lady Tiger Basketball team was back on the hardwood this past Friday and Saturday night when they hosted the Red Bird Cardinals and the Williamsburg Yellow Jackets on consecutive nights. The Tigers caged the Cardinals 58-26 Friday night but lost to the Lady Jackets of Williamsburg, 27-64. Anna Daniels led her team, which shot over 52% from the field, against Red Bird with a near double –double as she scored 20 points and pulled down nine rebounds. Abbagail Smith tossed in 10 points had two rebounds, three assists and two steals for the Tigers. Kaylee Smith added five points, Jordyn Smith shot for six, Peyton Erslan scored four points, Katie Shackelford hit for four points while Natasha Helton scored three. Shelbie Jones, Jehan Abuzor and Taylor Logan added two points each to round out the scoring. Head Coach Brandon Simpson said about the Red Bird contest, “We ex- ecuted our game plan very well. We came out a little flat, but after a quick time out and some adjustments we got our act together and did what we came to do.” Simpson felt his team shot the ball well and in fact it was the best shooting game of the season for the Tigers hitting on 22 of 43 attempts. Simpson said, “We did a good job turning defense to offense and getting transition baskets but we still need to do some work at the free throw line.” On Saturday night, the Tigers welcomed the Williamsburg Lady Jackets to Barbourville for their second game in as many nights. The Lady Jackets jumped out to an early 9-2 lead with 2:02 remaining in the first quarter before Barbourville’s Anna Daniels scored on the block to cut the lead to five points. On Williamsburg’s next possession, they turned it over under full court pressure from the Tigers that resulted in Daniels going to the line for two free throws for another two points. A free throw by Jordyn Smith and another basket by Daniels cut the deficit to two at 12-10 with fifteen ticks on the clock in the quarter. The Yellow jackets saw themselves with a three point lead at the end of the first quarter. The three point deficit enjoyed by the Tigers at the end of one was as close as they would get the remainder of the game. The Lady Jackets pushed the lead out to 31-14 by halftime and went on to win with an easy 63-22 margin. Coach Simpson said, “We were right there after the first quarter, despite not playing well, but shots weren’t falling for us and they were falling for them and we dug a 17-point hole going into the half. Our girls usually put up a fight no matter what the score, but I don’t feel like we did that tonight.

Cheerleader Spotlight Kaitlin Sierra Hudson Age: 17, Senior Advocate: How many years have you cheered? Kaitlin: I cheered and danced from preschool through 6th grade, played basketball, was on the swim team from 8th-10th grade, and went back to cheerleading in my junior and senior years. Advocate: What is involved in being a cheerleader? Skills? Training? Kaitlin: First of all you have to be hard working, motivated, and have the ability to work well with others and give and receive constructive criticism. You have to work on endurance and go to gymnastics. Cheerleading is more complex than others realize unless you have been involved in the sport. Advocate: How has cheer affected your life throughout high school? Kaitlin: First of all, to have good time management to juggle academics and athletics and work well with others to reach a common goal. Advocate: Do you plan on cheering in college? Kaitlin: I am going to LMU to be a nurse practitioner, so I probably will not cheer and focus solely on my career. Advocate: What is your worst memory of cheerleading? Kaitlin: When I severely sprained my ankle at gymnastics. Advocate: Tell me a bout your couch. Kaitlin: I love Jill Smith with all my heart. We compliment each other so well. She is a hard worker in all aspects of her life and it runs over to our squad. We couldn‘t ask for a better leader. Extras: We have a small squad, “The Nifty Nine,” and I wouldn‘t trade my cheer sisters for anything in the world. I appreciate all of their hard work this season and for making my senior year so special. I also would like to thank my mom and dad for always pushing me to do my best in all I do, I love you!

Two seniors and one junior have seen to that. Bradley Abner, Leslie Smith and Matthew Smith won Tulsa Welding’s School statewide competition. Sixteen schools converged on Frankfort with the intent to show what they had learned. Teacher Montey Bingham’s team brought home the first place trophy. Abner came in first place of all competitors. Abner said, “Leslie and I have been in the vocational school welding for four years, so we were prepared. The test that everyone had to do was to read a blueprint and weld a box according to the directions. It required different types of welds using three different rods 7018, 6010 and mig (wire). Although it was not timed, it still took me 45 minutes to complete.” Abner’s first place was rewarded with a full scholarship (worth $19,000) to the Tulsa Welding School in Jacksonville, Fla. Leslie Smith placed third in the competition and received one quarter of a scholarship to the same school. The two plan to move south and start school about two months after they graduate from Knox Central. The winning welding team wished to thank Holston Gas of Kentucky and its local distributorships, along with Rob Smith (individual) and King Mining. Best Western of Frankfort furnished free lodging for the Knox Central Welding Crew. The team trophy can be viewed at the vocational school.

That was the challenge posed to students at Lynn Camp Middle School as they prepared for the annual Mind Challenge competition. Lynn Camp was one of 264 teams invited to the event that was held at The Arts Center in Lexington on January 3. The team won overall and their age division, 10-13. For their presentation, the team decided to find the cure for cancer through time travel and bring it back to a child who was dying from the disease. The team, using Lego blocks to create the scenario, presented before judges and created a comic book that illustrated their solution. “The future looks bright for this team,” said Robin Burr, sponsor of the team.

SLOW DOWN Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven’t thought about it, don’t have it on their schedule, didn’t know it was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine. I got to thinking one day about all those women on the Titanic who passed up dessert at dinned that fateful night in an effort to cut back. From then on, I’ve tried to be a little more flexible. How many women will eat at home because their husband didn’t suggest going out to dinner until after something had been thawed? Does the word “refrigeration” mean nothing to you? How often have your children dropped in to talk and sat in silence while you watched your favorite T.V. program on television? I cannot count the times I’ve called a friend and said, “How about going to lunch in a half hour?” She would gas up and stammer, “I can’t. I have laundry to do. My hair is dirty, I wish I had know yesterday, I had a late breakfast, it looks like rain.” And my personal favorite: “It’s Monday.” She died a few years ago we never did have lunch together. Because Americans cram so much into their lives, we tend to Memories Mildred Higgins schedule our headaches when all the conditions are perfect! We’ll go back and visit the grandparents when we get the baby toilet-trained. We’ll entertain when we replace the living-room carpet. We’ll go on a seconds honeymoon when we get the kids out of college. Life has a way of accelerating, as we get older. The days get shorter m and the list of promises to ourselves get longer. One morning, we awaken, and all we have to show for our lives is a litany of “I’m going to,” “I plan on,” and “Someday, when things ar settled down a bit.” When anyone calls my ‘size the moment’ friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and you’re ready to trade with her for five minutes, and you’re ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of roller blades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord. My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice The art of communication “I don’t care to.” That is an expression that throws me for a loop. Does it mean I don’t mind doing it or I don’t want to do it? I usually avoid using that term because it can be ambiguous, taken either way, when I really want to know which way. Communication is usually considered a process of exchanging information or meanings. It is so easy to bypass meanings. For example, I say one thing and you hear something entirely different. There are times when it is very important to be able to exchange information correctly so two different persons can be on the same wave length. Each age, each locality, each vocation and even a family has some of its own vocabulary. Then there are times it can be a source of humor as well as confusing. One expression I really like and has become part of my speech pattern is “I’m just before.” To me that just really says that I am ready to do it, actively thinking about doing it cream. It’s just that I might as well apply it directly to my stomach with a spatula and eliminate the digestive process. The other day I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy. Now…go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT too do… not something on your SHOULD DO list. If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting? When the day is done, do you lie in your bed with a hundred chores running through your head? Have you ever told your child, “we’ll do it tomorrow.” And in you’re your haste, not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch? Let a good friendship die? Just call someone to say “Hi”? When you worry and hurry through your day, it is like an unopened gift…Thrown away…Life is not a race. Take it slower. Author unknown Millie’s quote for today; three things in life that once gone, never come back… TIME, WORDS, and OPPORTUNITY. Three things in life that are most valuable: LOVE, FAMILY , FRIENDS and KINDNESS. Stinking Creek News Irma Gall Lend-A-Hand Center or even “fixin’” to do it. It just seems to fit the situation. Then there is the expression “he is a smart one.” Being a person interested in education, I immediately think that means he is very teachable or a quick learner. But no, that is not what is usually meant, but he is a hard worker or quick to do things or ambitious. He is a doer rather than a bookworm. “On yon side” is another colorful expression meaning on yonder side, which I think is the opposite of “on this side.” At least this term is clearer than “on that side.” I have a friend who, upon being asked her age replies, “on that side of forty.” Sometimes when a child is asked, “What would you like to be when you grow up?” the answer is “I want to make” a doctor or a teacher or a mother. Maybe they really want to become a language teacher. Then there is the word “fetch” usually used in the expression “fetch me.” That word is in the dictionary with several meanings like to go after, come, bring me, or take etc. It also can be used to bring a certain price. Most of the time I have heard it is an older person instructing a younger person to bring a certain item. I have also heard the expression used to describe someone as a “fetching person.” I am sure you could add to this list of expressions that you heard in your family or community. In fact your grandparents may have quite a few of them. Some of them may make you stop and say what does that really mean to the person saying that. So let us listen to each other and really try to understand what is being said. That is the art of communication.
