First business picks up application to sell beer
BREAKING NEWS @mountainadvocate.com THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2016 VOLUME 111 - NUMBER 27 | 2 SECTIONS, 16 PAGES 75 ¢per copy HERO SAVES PROFESSOR FROM FLOOD BY BOBBIE POYNTER EDITOR A London man was saved from drowning in floodwaters Tuesday thanks to the selfless efforts taken by a local resident. Dr. Robert Chandler, 66, a biology professor at Union College, was on his way home on Manchester Street Tuesday afternoon. Although there was a high water sign at the underpass, Chandler decided to chance it. “I thought it was only 2-3 inches deep,” said Professor Chandler, but before I could turn back, the car started to float. There was nothing I could do after that.” Before Chandler’s car even made it through the underpass, it began floating toward deeper waters. “I didn’t know what to do,” he said. “I couldn’t get the door open. I rolled down the window and tried to call 911, but no one answered.” Suddenly from up on the highway, Chandler heard a voice yelling, “Are you OK? Do you need some help?” Unbeknownst to the now panicking driver, the voice belonged to a fellow Union College employee. Sean Trinque, best known to everyone in town as Union’s cycling coach, was on his way back to town on Hwy 25E when the floating car caught his eye. “I was driving by slower than usual anyway,” said Trinque. “I had already been by there earlier today and had slowed down to see if the water level had changed. I saw the car floating in the water, but then realized there was someone in it.” Trinque immediately jumped the guardrail, flew down the steep slope and dove into the icy floodwaters. “Honestly, I didn’t know the water was that cold until we got out,” said Trinque. By the time the young man reached the already sinking vehicle about 15 to 20 feet out, the murky water was already flowing RESCUED, PAGE 5A Photo by Bobbie Poynter A London man was rescued from his vehicle seconds before it sunk to the bottom of floodwaters on Manchester Street at the Manchester Street underpass.

From left: Sam Scharbrough, Sherry Owens, Betty Broughton, Donnie King and Daniel Hibbard. BY EMILY BAKER REPORTER Barbourville’s Walmart recently ranked among the highest in the nation, earning the title of Store of the Year for division one stores in the Mid-Atlantic Region. The award was based on customer feedback. Comments and reviews rate the store on how clean, fast and friendly the customer’s shopping experience was at the store. “The team is very excited,” said Store Manager Sam Scharbrough. “I want to say ‘thank you’ to the community for noticing all the hard work that our associates put in to turn the store around. I also want to thank the associates for getting the work done.” According to Scharbrough, this is the first time the Barbourville branch WALMART, PAGE 3A 27th Circuit Judge retires BY BOBBIE POYNTER EDITOR Judge Thomas Jensen Kentucky’s 27th Judicial Circuit Judge Thomas Jensen has spent nearly his entire career serving at the pleasure of the people of Kentucky. On Dec. 17, 2016, Judge Jensen returned to his roots to do what he has always And so it begins. Local businesses are lining up to file their applications for liquor sales licenses. The first business to collect its license package from ABC Administrator Corey Moren was Hometown IGA. Store Manager Jason Smith says the store will be applying for a beer license only. Regardless of when the businesses pick up their license packets, they will not be able to submit their applications right away. This is due to the fact that although Barbourville officially becomes wet on March 8, the businesses must first place an ad in the local newspaper announcing their intent to apply for a license, and the first day the newspaper ESCAPEE’S CASE MOVES TO GRAND JURY enjoyed doing— practice law. Over a span of more than 30 years, Thomas Jensen has been JENSEN, PAGE 3A ESCAPEE, PAGE 3A — Thomas Jensen prints after that is March 10.

Empty buildings are being filled with cafes and coffee shops. Apartments are being renovated and restaurants are planning to move in. For one iconic building, this revitalization brings much-needed upgrades. Renovations recently began on what is known as the ‘Lawson Building’ on courthouse square. “This place needed this,” explained the contractor, who wishes to remain anonymous. According to the contractor, the second floor has about another week of work remaining until it’s finished. Man caught knocking on doors in middle of the night BY BOBBIE POYNTER EDITOR Back-to-back disturbance complaints led to the arrest of a Barbourville man Friday night. Around 3:40 a.m. Knox County Dispatch received four calls regarding an intoxicated man beating on the doors and windows of houses on KY 3439 in the Boone Heights area. Officials report one of the callers had confronted the intoxicated man on his porch and attempted to run the man off, but he refused to leave. Knox County Sheriff’s Deputy Mikey Ashurst responded and began canvassing the neighborhood on foot in an attempt to locate the man. Deputy Ashurst caught up with the man around 4 a.m. Deputy Ashurst gave chase and ended up restraining the man who had refused to comply with his commands. Deputy Ashurst arrested Russel I Centers, 20, of Barbourville, charging him with Alcohol Intoxication, Disorderly Conduct 2nd Degree, Fleeing Evading Police on Foot and Resisting Arrest. Centers was lodged in the Knox County Detention Center. Knox County Constable Brandon Bolton assisted in the arrest.

Firefighters say it took nearly two hours to completely put the fire out. As of press time Wednesday, a cause for the fire was not yet known. Gray man attacks store employees during robbery BY DEAN MANNING FOR THE MOUNTAIN ADVOCATE It could be described as, “grand theft – meat,” but when a Gray man allegedly started hitting and choking Sav-a-lot employees, who tried to stop him from fleeing the store with a roll of hamburger and a pork tenderloin Wednesday afternoon, it upped the charge to robbery. Corbin Police arrested 40-year-old Ronnie C. Joyner after finding him at a nearby business. According to Corbin Police Capt. Coy Wilson, officers were called to the scene about 3:30 p.m. Employees told the officers that Joyner had attempted to flee the store with the meat valued at $41.01 concealed on his person. One employee stated he had been choked and scratched on the neck, while a second had been hit. Joyner then allegedly fled the store, running across the parking lot toward the Liquor Mart. Wilson reported finding Joyner inside the Liquor Mart and arrested him. However, as Wilson led Joyner toward his cruiser, he stated Joyner began refusing to walk and attempted to pull away. After advising Joyner several times to quit, and Joyner continuing to resist, Wilson stated he took Joyner to the ground. “The violator had strong odor of alcohol on his person,” Wilson stated in the arrest citation. Ronnie C. Joyner Joyner was transferred to the custody of Lt. Jason Moore. Wilson stated that Joyner continued trying to pull away from Moore, resulting in Moore taking him to the ground a second time. Joyner was charged with second-degree robbery, alcohol intoxication in a public place and resisting arrest and lodged in the Knox County Detention Center. Joyner is being held on a $25,000 cash bond. Joyner has pleaded not guilty to the charges and will return to Knox District Court Tuesday for a preliminary hearing to determine whether there is probable cause to present the case to a Knox County grand jury. Under Kentucky Law, second-degree robbery is a class C felony, carrying a potential prison sentence of five to 10 years.

BY EMILY BAKER REPORTER The Barbourville ARH Hospital Auxiliary announced the winner of their raffle fundraiser at their February meeting Thursday. Milton Dunaway ESCAPEE FROM PAGE 1A Corbin, had been lodged in The Knox County Detention Center since September 2015. Kelly was arrested on charges of rape, incest, sexual abuse, unlawful imprisonment, fleeing or evading and persistent felony offender. During a routine inmate transportation from court Friday, Feb. 5, Kelly made a desperate attempt for freedom. Knox County Deputy JENSEN FROM PAGE 1A represented the Commonwealth of Kentucky in a myriad of political positions, starting out as Chairman of the Laurel County Republican Party and moving on to the Kentucky Legislature where he defeated 13-year incumbent, Albert Robinson, in the Republican primary, going on to become a State Representative for the 85th District. As a Kentucky state representative, Jensen was elected as Minority Floor Leader. In 1996, Jensen was elected Chairman of the Republican Party of Kentucky, served as a member of the Republican National Committee and the Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Kentucky, and was a delegate to the National Republican Convention twice. Jensen was inducted into the Republican 5th District Hall of Fame in 2003, and elected 5th Congressional District Chairman of the Republic Party WALMART FROM PAGE 1A has won the title. In honor of their achievement, the store will receive a plaque to be displayed within the store. The Barbourville is the lucky winner of tickets to a University of Kentucky vs. University of Alabama basketball game. The raffle raised over $500 for the auxiliary. In addition to the raffle, two auxiliary members took matters into their own hands, hosting a bake sale at the Knox County Courthouse. Sisters Fern Ledford and Agnes Stacy raised $155 to go toward the auxiliary. Jailor Seth Bingham testified at Kelly ’s preliminar y hearing during Tuesday ’s district court. According to Bingham, Kelly, after getting off the inmate transportation bus, stepped out of line. Deputies noticed that Kelly did not have shackles on and had only one hand cuffed. Kelly sprinted across the street, away from authorities, though he not make it far. After a short chase, Kelly was apprehended by Bingham and Barbourville Police Chief Winston Tye, who luckily saw the escapee running away from the jailers. Kelly received additional charges of second degree escape and second degree wanton endangerment. Judge John Chappell ruled that the court found enough probable cause to send Kelly’s case to the Grand Jury. Kelly is to appear before the circuit court Tuesday, Feb. 23 and his $100,000 cash bond will remain the same. of Kentucky in 2008. During his tenure as a Kentucky state senator, Jensen served on numerous committees and was elected Chairman of both Natural Resources and Environmental Protection and the powerful Judiciary Committee. In 2011, he was recognized as Kentucky State Senator of the Year. Finally, on Dec. 17, 2012, Thomas Jensen was sworn in as Circuit Court Judge for the 27th Judicial Circuit, consisting of Laurel and Knox counties. He was re-elected in 2014. Knox County Circuit Court Clerk Greg Helton says business will go on as usual at the courthouse. Motion hour will continue as planned. “I’ve known Tom a long time,” said Helton. “He’s a wonderful, first-class guy. He is a very understanding and compassionate gentleman. As a judge, he was fair, he didn’t let lawyers sway him one way or the other. He knew the law, and even wrote House Bill 460, which changed the bonding requirements, al- lowing for lower bonds for some people. He’s a great friend, and we’ll miss him on the bench.” Although Tom Jensen is hanging up his courtroom robe, he is not giving up on the law. He is simply taking a step back so that he can devote his time to his law practice at the Jensen, Messer and Webster Law Firm in London. “I’m gonna do what I wanna do,” said Judge Jensen. “I’ve always enjoyed practicing law,” he said. “What I found when I became a judge is that you are no longer an advocate for anything or anyone. You’re sitting here making a decision on what you have in front of you. As an attorney, you’re an advocate, taking a position, representing people and trying to do the best you can for them.” Attorneys, Jensen said, may not always win, but they try to work out the best agreement they can for their clients. “It’s more humanizing,” said Jensen. “That’s the reason I’m going back.” Walmart has gone above and beyond to lend a hand to its hometown. “The associates have been really excited to be involved in the community,” said Scharbrough. “Over the last year, we’ve held a Halloween Bash, assisted the local nursing home and children’s home and started a Relay for Life team. We’ve also participated in Shop With a Cop for both state and city police and we have several other community events planned.” Stay informed when local news happens, as it happens. Subscribe Now!

Sadly, I am not talking about horse racing at Keeneland’s planned new $30 million Knox County racing and entertainment facility, “Thunder Run.” You see, finding rare Indiana bats on the site, followed by court battles over the racing license the state issued Keeneland, have stalled that project for a bit. No, the race in full swing right now in Barbourville is the race for a license to sell alcohol. Ever since the local op- tion election, jockeying and scheming began. Everyone wants to see who will be the first to actually get a license. We have surely heard interesting rumors about this here at the newspaper office! But, we only report facts, (OK, sometimes, only on this editorial page we print opinions) not rumors. So, here’s what I know to be true. If you want to see who is officially making an application, then check out the March 10 issue of the Mountain Advocate. From the Publisher Jay Nolan [email protected] Anyone wishing to apply for a license has to print a legal notice of his or her intent to do so in this newspaper. March 10 is the first publication date that meets the legal criteria outlined in KRS regulations. Social media is full of guesses, comments, opinions, and such. But until the legal But remember, our population is so low it only justifies one package store. The state awards at least two just to prevent a monopoly situation. Also, our household income in Knox is low. Similar circumstances in nearby notice hits the paper, it’s all just talk. The facts will be printed in black and white for all to see then. We know IGA has picked up an application to sell malt beverages (beer), and I expect other grocery stores in the area may do so as well. However, the bigger question is who will actually apply for and receive one of the two licenses to operate a package store. From the rumor mill, you would think that license is a “golden ticket.” Manchester caused one package store, Liquor Mart, to close and turn its license back in. So, I think some folks are racing hard for a “prize” that may be smaller than they planned. What do you think?

According to Trinque, about the time he managed to get Professor Chandler half way out of the window, he realized the man’s foot was caught, so he had to push the man back into the car, loosen his trapped foot, then pull him out once again. “I’m pretty sure he was already in shock,” Trinque said. “He was limp and wasn’t struggling at all, and actually that was a big help.” By the time the two men made it to shore, Corey Moren, Captain of the Special Operations Response Team (SORT), was there to help get Professor Chan- Plenty of people have been asking the same question: “When will we get to buy beer in town?” Barbourville Mayor David Thompson says he can only answer that question one way, “What with all the red tape and hoops that everyone will have to jump through in the coming weeks, the dler into his van to warm up. Within minutes the rest of the SORT team, Barbourville police, Knox County EMS, sheriff ’s deputies and Riley’s Wrecker Service had arrived to lend assistance. “By the time we got here, there wasn’t anything left to do, but wait for the tow truck and get the car out of the water,” said Moren. “The young man did all the work.” However, the young man who Moren referred to was in a hurry to get out of there. He had done what he needed to do, and now it was time to go home and get dry. “I really think circumstances could have turned out a lot worse if things hadn’t happened just the way they did,” said Trinque. “There’s no way I could have gotten to him if his window had been up or if his car had drifted off in a different direction away from this shore. I know I couldn’t have broken his window out, and I really don’t think there was enough time. All this happened in the space of 30-40 seconds, a minute tops, from the time I hit the water to the time he was out of the car. He was already in shock so he wasn’t struggling.

Barbourville Mayor Thompson ordered the entrances at either end of the underpass be blocked to traffic until the floodwaters recede. “Somebody’s not going to have to die before we do something to block off that road.” — Mayor David Thompson him on top of me, threw one of his arms around me, and doggy paddled back to shore.” Professor Chandler is well aware of what his fate could have been, and said he is eternally grateful to the young man who dove into the frigid waters to free him from the sinking car. “I don’t know how to thank him,” said Chandler. “He saved my life. I’ll appreciate it forever.” As for the young Union cycling coach, “I’m just glad I could help.” Laurel County Fairgrounds HWY 229, Near Levi Jackson State Park - London, KY Consignments accepted: Wednesday, February 24th, Thursday, February 25th and Friday, February 26th from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm 41st Annual Brodhead Farm Machinery Consignment Auction Saturday, March 5, 2016 at 9:30 a.m. Brodhead Fairgrounds Off of Highway 150, Brodhead, KY Consignments accepted: Wednesday, March 2nd, Thursday, March 3rd and Friday, March 4th from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm There will be a BUYER’S FEE added to the winning bid on each item to determine its final price.

BOx 280 Greenup, KY 41144 Final AMOUNT COLLECTED FOR ADVERTISING NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS OF KENTUCKY UTILITIES COMPANY RECOVERY BY ENVIRONMENTAL SURCHARGE OF KENTUCKY UTILITIES COMPANY’S 2016 ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE PLAN PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Kentucky Utilities Company (“KU”) filed with the Kentucky Public Service Commission (“Commission”) on January 29, 2016 in Case No. 2016-00026, an Application pursuant to Kentucky Revised Statute 278.183 for approval of an amended compliance plan (“KU’s 2016 Environmental Compliance Plan”) for the purpose of recovering the capital costs associated with new pollution control facilities through an increase in the environmental surcharge on customers’ bills beginning August 31, 2016 under KU’s existing Electric Rate Schedule ECR, also known as the environmental cost recovery surcharge. The total capital cost of the projects in KU’s 2016 Environmental Compliance Plan is estimated to be $678 million. Federal, state, and local environmental regulations require KU to build and upgrade equipment and facilities that produce energy from coal to operate in an environmentally sound manner. Specifically, KU is seeking Commission approval of Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity for the construction of Phase II of the landfill at the E.W. Brown Generation Station (“Brown”), and to close coal-combustion-residual (“CCR”) ponds and construct new process-water facilities at Brown, the Ghent Generating Station (“Ghent”), and the Trimble County Generating Station. Each construction project is component of KU’s 2016 Environmental Compliance Plan.

These projects are required for KU to comply with the federal Clean Air Act as amended, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s new rule on the Disposal of CCR from Electric Utilities, the Mercury Air Toxics Standards, and other environmental requirements that apply to KU facilities used in the production of energy from coal. In addition to the projects described above, additional projects in KU’s 2016 Environmental Compliance Plan include installing improvements to the Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization systems on Ghent Unit 2 and installing improvements to the mercury-related control equipment of Ghent Units 1-4, thereby allowing additive injections to mitigate mercury emissions. The total capital cost of the new pollution control facilities for which KU is seeking recovery at this time is estimated to be $640 million. Additional operation and maintenance expenses will be incurred for certain projects in KU’s 2016 Environmental Compliance Plan and are costs that KU is requesting to recover through the environmental surcharge in its application. 16-P-00038 LINDA J MESSER 901 BULL RUN RD BARBOURVILLE, KY 40906 TONY MESSER 901 BULL RUN RD BARBOURVILLE, KY 40906 N/A 2-8-16 6 MONTHS The impact on KU’s customers is estimated to be a 2.06% increase in 2016 with a maximum increase of 3.35% in 2019.

The individual responsibility payment penalty for not having minimal essential medical coverage is based each month on the number of uninsured members of your family and your household income. An uninsured household of 3 or more during the 2015 tax year could face a maximum penalty of $975. The maximum penalty for the 2016 tax year skyrockets to $2,085. There is a bit of good news on the Obamacare coverage front. The Supreme Court ruled in June 2015 that the federal premium tax credit is available to eligible taxpayers, regardless of whether they bought their coverage on the federal exchange or through state marketplaces. This government subsidy is available to eligible insurance exchange policy buyers to help them pay for part of their required coverage.

Panthers fall to Clay BY JESSICA MILLER SPORTS WRITER The Panthers traveled to Clay County to take on the Tigers for a 51st district game. After a very close and intense battle, the Tigers won by ten points, 72 to 62. Both teams were eager for a victory from the moment they stepped on the court. It was a back and forth scoring game throughout the first quarter and by the end the Tigers were up 18 to 16. At the start of the second quarter Wade Liford made a bounce pass to Jermel Carton who jumped up and scored to tie up the score 18 to 18. Will Sexton for Clay County made a three-point basket from the left sideline with less than three minutes left, then Liford went up for a shot and was fouled. He made both of his free throws to make the score 28 to 24 Clay. Sexton made another three pointer to further their lead 30 to 24. With less than two minutes remaining in the half, the Panthers worked the ball down the court and attempted several shots until Chad Marsee jumped up and made a two point shot and was fouled in the air. He made his one free throw to make the score 30 to 27 Clay. Thirty seconds later, Jermel Carton was fouled as he flew down the court and made his first foul shot to put the score at 30 to 28.

Barbourville wasted no time in getting ahead in the first quarter. The two teams kept the score close, but by the end the Lady Tigers were ahead 15 to 11. Three minutes into the first quarter, Erica Gambrell sunk a three pointer from the left sideline for the Yellow Jackets to make the score 15 to 13, but the Lady Tigers bit back when Shelbie Jones put up two points, then five seconds later Barbourville’s Jordyn Smith raced down the court to make a layup, making the score 19 to 14. With less than four minutes to go the Lady Tigers played the ball in from the baseline and Whitney Brown received the ball from the right side to make a three point shot for Barbourville to put the score at 22 to 21. The Yellow Jackets then worked the ball down the court and passed it around until Bailey Brunsma made a three point shot to put them ahead 24 to 22. In the final two minutes Brown made another SEE LADY TIGERS, PAGE 3B Photos by Jessica Miller At left, Whitney Brown, sophomore, takes a shot outside the arch.

With less than three minutes remaining in the quarter Brown made yet another three pointer from the left sideline to bring them up 32 to 21.

Barbourville Head Coach Brandon Simpson shares his thoughts on the game, “It’s the same old story it’s been for quite a while: we struggled to score. We’re struggling to hit the field. We got hot there in the first half and came out pretty cold in the second half.” Coach Smith explains, “We’re a young team so sometimes we just struggle to score, but they have to grow up in that aspect. We have districts coming up and we have to score to win.” Barbourville will play Williamsburg at home on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Photos by Jessica Miller Above left, Anna Daniels, sophomore, races down the court.

Etter honored for Black History Month In celebration of Black History Month, Museum Corner will feature prominent African Americans who lived and worked in Barbour ville and the surrounding county. This week features Mrs. Grace Etter, the first African American woman principal in Knox County. In 1951, Mrs. Etter was principal of Rosenwald High School. Unlike most teachers and many principals in the Knox County School System many of whom only had a provisional two-year college teaching degree, Mrs. Etter had a four-year AB degree Grace Etter from Kentucky State College, now Kentucky State University, and had done graduate work at Fisk University in Atlanta and at Indiana University in Indianapolis. As teachers today have assignments that go beyond their role of a classroom teacher, all the teachers at Rosenwald High School had similar responsibilities, too. In Five things you do with your BFF A best friend is a person who comes into your life and changes it for the better. You and your BFF have hundreds of memories together that neither of you will forget. You have had some rough times, but the good times are what really matter. Your BFF is basically your other half. 1. You laugh until you cry. As you know, laughing is the best medicine, right? You and your BFF can literally laugh at anything, even if it is a wall. You have good times where all the two of you do is laugh. There are bad times, too. In some cases, you cry until you laugh. When you are upset, your BFF tries everything in their power to pick you up. 2. You tell your secrets. Remember that embarrassing crush that you had freshman year that you did not tell anyone about? Yeah, she knows (and you probably did not have to tell her). Whether you tell her by accident or she figures it out from your awkward laughing at his jokes, it’s okay because she’s got your back. No one else knows your deepest darkest secrets besides her and vice versa. 3. You go on random adventures together. One Thoughts of a College Girl Emily Wright, Guest Columnist day you are hiking through the treacherous mountains (or actually a cleared path at the state park) and you end up in a historical cabin from the Civil War era with a fake crime scene. Yes, this actually happened to me and my BFF. There was fake blood everywhere, knives, and mannequins and you better believe we took 20 pictures. Oh, and we can’t forget the spring break trips... the beach, the boys, and the unforgettable memories. 4. You read each other’s mind. You think you are the only one who sees the girl a few rows up from you going ham on her cashews but when you turn to tell your BFF, she is already laughing and says “I know.” You never have to tell each other that you are upset, mad, hyper or anything else because she knows. She can see it in everything you do and that is what makes her your BFF. 5. You do everything together. Your schedule is basically the same as your BFF’s schedule so you get to spend every extra minute together. You two eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. When one has a doctor’s appointment, guess who is with her? Yep, you. Skipping class to go shopping is both of your idea, too. Sometimes, you even happen to need to use the restroom at the same time. You literally do everything together and you both love it. Remember that it is not who has been around the longest, but who has been there for you when you needed it the most. The person you know you can cry on their shoulder any time of the day or night. Having a BFF is awesome and I am lucky enough to have two of them. So I am forever thankful that I have my BFFs there to put up with me :) I hope you’re thankful for your BFF just as much as I am! Sorry, BFFs. I’m here for the long run!!

She was the school’s librarian and managed all of the library services. She also sponsored the 4-H Club and worked with students on the school’s yearbook, “The Rosette.” After public school integration in Knox County in 1961, it is thought that Mrs. Etter may Do you know Wanda & Maria? have retired from teaching. Around this time period, Mrs. Etter moved to Louisville to live with relatives because of a serious illness. At the time of her death in 1966, she was only 60 years old.

Ill-humor CROSSWORD PUZZLE ANSWERS USE AMERICAN SPELLING Thursday, February 18, 2016 n THE MOUNTAIN ADVOCATE n 7B Union to hold first forum 1001 days accident free in series on ‘Conversations that Matter’ BY ANDY POWELL FOR THE MOUNTAIN ADVOCATE “A Short Book About Killing,” a book by Union Trustee Dr. Sonya Jones, will be the basis for the first in a series of public forums at Union College – “Conversations that Matter” – to be held Monday, Feb. 22. The event will also serve as a book launch for the college community. “Conversations that Matter” will be an ongoing dialogue series sponsored by the National Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities of the United Methodist Church, says Rev. David Miller, Union’s Campus Minister. Miller says the series will focus on topics relative to justice and dignity, with the public and campus community invited to engage in discussions during each forum. Dr. Jones’ book launch, and the subject matter detailed within the book, well suits the “Conversations that Matter” initiative, Miller said. “We are excited to have this opportunity to share with our campus community the “Conversations that Matter” dialogue series and even more excited to feature Dr. Jones’ work during this first event,” Rev. Miller said. “This series will be informative, thought provoking and allow those around our campus to discuss these issues, share their opinions and reflect on how justice and dignity affects each of us.” The forum will begin at 7 p.m. in the Patridge Conference Room. Dr. Jones will open the forum and discuss her recently published work, “A Short Book About Killing.” The campus community will then be invited to an open dialogue on the subject. The event will end with a question and answer session. Dr. Jones will also offer her book for sale and hold a signing at the conclusion of the “Conversations that Matter” event. She will donate $3 from the sale of each book to Union College to host a symposium on ethical issues – inspired by former Union professor, Dr. Sarah Hendrix, who died last year in a family tragedy. “The symposium will focus on similar issues covered throughout the “Conversations that Matter” forums and will be dedicated to the memory of Dr. Hendrix,” Rev. Miller said. “A Short Book about Killing” is a mediation on a subject that has been an element of most cultures throughout human history, the author points out. Like Judeo-Christianity, the religions of India - including the various Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain philosophical traditions have acknowledged killing as a reality and in some cases helped to perpetuate its brutality despite constructing sanctions against it. As Dr. Jones notes, the religious injunctions against killing seem to have lost their grip on the human psyche - if, indeed, they were ever firmly established. The “Conversations that Matter” forum series is being held at Methodist institutions across the country. Each institution is sponsoring a series of conversations on “concerns of justice and dignity within its distinctive context – concerns that are subject to diverse and strongly held perspectives.” The purpose of these conversations is to learn to communicate with dignity across human differences – a process that includes genuine sharing, listening, and considering what others say.
