County updating voting machines

Knox County will soon catch
up with the rest of the state
with the updating of its official
voting machines. According
to Judge Executive J.M. Hall,
Knox is the only county in the
state of Kentucky that still uses
non-electronic voting machines. Approximately 45 new
machines will be purchased
through a state grant.
“We’ve had complaints of
buttons not lighting up, and
the old machines are hard to
get parts for,” he explained. “As
the new machines will be electronic, we may even be able to
get voting results back to the
county clerk faster.”
A road in Knox County will
soon fall under a different
name. The Fiscal Court, with
the blessing of Knox County Attorney Gilbert Holland and 911,
approved a petition submitted
by Elizabeth Whitley to have a
portion of Lynn Camp Branch
Road located on the Whitley
property changed to WP Bradford Place. The road name
change, she said, will make it
easier for first responders to locate the address in the event of
an emergency.
Whitley, who has been attending Fiscal Court meetings
for the past three months and
pleading her case, was glad to
finally get the court’s approval
for the change.
“It’s all good for safety sake,”
she told the court.

A Barbourville woman rushed
her husband to the Knox County Hospital emergency room
Tuesday afternoon with severe
burns to both his arms and
hands. Scottie Reeves, 39, of
the Gausedale Community, told
hospital staff he had been burning trash when something in the
burn pile blew up. Due to the
nature of the burns, ER staff suspected the man had been manufacturing methamphetamine
and contacted the Knox County Sheriff ’s Department. Deputy Buster Liford met Reeves at
the emergency room and witnessed burn sores all over both
of the man’s arms.
After gaining Reeves’ permission to search his house and
property, Detective Liford, along
with Knox County Sheriff Mike
Smith, Deputy Claude Hudson and Constable Carl Bolton,
drove out to the Reeves property, located eight miles out of Barbourville on South Highway 11.
There they found two elderly
people still in the house, Reeves’
father, Tommy Reeves, and Margie Jones.
Early into the search of the
property, deputies found meth
precursors in the house, including tubing, coffee filters, Coleman fuel, Liquid Drano and propane. Just outside the front door
deputies located one half of an
HCL generator submerged in
water.

Citing the fact that it is the second fire at this location within
the last two weeks, Corbin Police are investigating a fire that
damaged the three-family home
at 706 Barbourville Street Monday morning.
Firefighters said Monday’s
blaze began in the kitchen area
of the upstairs apartment.
Danielle Asher, who lives in
the apartment with her boyfriend Scotty Herren and their
young son, said she was lying
on the couch when she heard
something explode in the kitchen and smelled the smoke. She
grabbed her son and ran outside

Former sheriff takes
new job with county
BY JAY NOLAN
Publisher
A familiar face has showed up in a
new place. Former three-term Knox
County Sheriff John Pickard has accepted the job of assistant Knox County
road foreman.
“This was a position we had that was
held by Earl Swafford before he passed
away,” said Judge-Executive J.M. Hall.
Pickard had 20-plus years of experience
with Delta Gas, before serving 12 years
as Knox County Sheriff.
“He knows Knox County roads very
well. Based on my positive relationship with him over the last eight years,
I brought a recommendation to the
magistrates, and the entire fiscal court
voted unanimously to hire him.” Hall
said, adding, “He will do a good job for
Knox County.”

Members of the Barbourville Tourism Commission are ready to get
their hands dirty as they
each accepted a spot on
a committee to help bring
months worth of discussion to fruit.
“I was quite impressed
at such a wonderful turnout,” said Debbie Spencer of We Make Things
Happen, of the number of
people that participated
in tourism’s recent two
listening sessions.
To help make the
seemingly daunting task
of moving the city and
county forward, Spencer
broke down the numerous community recommendations into smaller
categories, like updating
website, downtown
beautification, Farmers
Market, and creating bike
and pedestrian friendly
roads. She then asked the
commission to accept the
responsibility of bringing
the recommendations to
light.
Each member of the
commission in turn
accepted a position on a
committee and agreed
to report back to tourism
on their progress at the
next regular meeting on
March 9.
“There is so much
we can get done in the
next week, next month,”
said Spencer. “If you get
something small done, it
will keep people involved. She added, “I’ve
never seen a tourism so
involved and so in tune to
its community.”
Spencer suggested
having a half-day retreat
with the individual groups
to help stimulate the
committees and their
volunteers. A March 16
tentative date was set.
“There’s a renewed
interest in building up
downtown,” she said.
“We’re building for the
future.
Tourism Director
Denise Wainscott updated the commission
on projects already in
the works, including an
economic summit to hold
workshops to help new
businesses open and
stay open. No date has
yet been set, but she’s
looking at late spring or
summer. A bike race will
take place April 17-18,
and the Redbud Ride
Warmup will be April
24. She has spoken with
Barbourville Utilities on
adding two or three more
power hookups at the
Thompson RV Park.
She reminded the commissioners that corporate
sponsors are still needed
for the annual barbeque
cookoff and that Tourism
is looking for a professional photographer. She
is also looking at redesigning the visitor rack
cards located around the
area and I-75 corridor.

Animal Shelter to hold grand opening
BY DEAN MANNING
Citing the enormity of the task
of transforming the 10,000 squarefoot former coal site reclamation
facility into the new home of the
Knox-Whitley Animal Shelter, officials have moved the opening date
to March.
Shelter Director Deanna Myers
said items remaining on the to-do
list in the building on Busy Lane
off of Fifth Street Road include: Installing the new roof and the ceiling
tiles, completing the drywall in the
office and community room areas,
and the kennels in the dog area.
Myers said the shelter is continuing to work to raise funds to pay for
the last 1,000 blocks for the kennels,
purchase the last 20 sheets of drywall and the last of the 2x4 ceiling
tiles.
“We still have about 10 to 15 kennels that are available for donor
plaques,” Myers said, noting anyone

found in closet
STAFF REPORT
On Feb. 6, around 11:30
p.m., Kentucky State Police
Post 10 Harlan received
an anonymous tip about
a meth lab on Hazel Fork
Road in the Gray community of Knox County. Upon
arrival, Tpr. Frank Russell
and a Deputy from the
Knox County Sheriff ’s Department located a large
amount of items used to
manufacture
methamphetamine inside a closet
in a bedroom.
Trooper Frank Russell
began an investigation and
arrested Dale Valentine,
34, of Gray and charged
him with manufacturing
methamphetamine, drug
paraphernalia, and three
counts of endangering the
welfare of a minor.
Three small children
were released to the
More than 15 active
and inactive one-step or
shake-n-bake meth labs,
as well as a multitude of
meth precursors, were
found scattered in and
around the property near
the house, including a
recently exploded meth
lab, which the officers
suspect was the cause
of the man’s burns.
“This is the largest lab
I have ever seen,” said
Deputy Hudson, making note of the fact that
some of the labs appeared to be quite old
while others were more
recent.
“It’s (meth) of epidemic proportions in
this area,” said Sheriff
Smith. “And now we’re
having to deal with the
added problem of heroin, which is gaining a fast
hold.”
Deputy Liford agreed
with his boss. “Nearly
every call we get has to
do with meth. It’s a nonstop ongoing battle.”
Scottie Reeves was
transferred later Tuesday
afternoon from the Knox
County Hospital to the

of the 500 blocks needed to build a
kennel, will have a plaque placed on
a kennel noting the donation.
“One of our kennels will be
named ‘Friends of Frankie,’” Myers
said, explaining the 500 blocks were
donated in memory of Dr. Elizabeth
Uberlhor’s, the staff veterinarian at
the Lexington Humane Society, dog.
“A lot of people are making the donations in memory of their animals,”
Myers said.
Myers noted when the project began in February workers essentially
had an empty garage, which is being
turned into the dog kennel area and
an area of office space.
New plumbing, HVAC and other
systems have been installed using
the insurance money, proceeds
from the sale of the old property and
donations to the project.
Myers explained that the roof project did not involve completely tearing off the existing roof but recoating

Moving fast as a jockey whipped race horse
Without a doubt, there has
been a lot of activity lately
regarding Keeneland possibly
locating a horse race track and
entertainment complex in Knox
County.
Keeneland officials, I am told,
met with several local leaders,
to include Senate President
Robert Stivers, Judge-Executive
J.M. Hall, Corbin Mayor Willard
McBurney, and many others
on Friday, Jan. 23, to discuss in
detail the possibility of locating
their proposed new facility in
this area. Specifically, they discussed locating on land in the
Tri-County Industrial Authority
Complex, located not far from
I-75 exit 29, just off the Carnell
Sprinkles Bypass.
Then, last Friday, the London Sentinel-Echo newspaper
reported Knox County businessman Jerry Garland was withdrawing his property, located
near the I-75 exit 25, from consideration for the project.
This past week, city commissioners in Corbin voted
to update their development
ordinance. One of the actions
taken during the update process
changed the zoning of land in
the Tri-County Industrial Park to
P1 status.
From the
Publisher
Jay Nolan
[email protected]
Trent Knuckles, president of
the Chamber of Commerce
serving the Corbin area, tells me
the change to P1 authorizes the
site to be used for public entertainment and recreational activities, in addition to more traditional “commercial” functions.
And, I was also told that Corbin
planning and zoning officials
already met on Monday night
this week to approve minutes
making that change official.
Who says government agencies always operate slowly?
Looks like to me the management team from Keeneland has
local officials sprinting like a
jockey whipped racehorse. Of
course, for a “trophy” this significant, who can blame them? One
hundred full time jobs, over 100
part time jobs, plus a huge new
first class racing and entertainment complex would be a huge
economic
boon for
Corbin, Knox
County, and
our entire region.
So, I think our local leaders
deserve some credit and congratulations. They have proven
they can work together when
the stakes are high. Whether
you like the proposed Keeneland project or not, I think local
officials working together and
cooperating to better our community is a good thing.

Letters to the Editor
Reader advocates alcohol sales
We’ve all heard some
of the pros and cons for
having an alcohol vote.
Please allow me to share
some more reasons in favor of permitting the sale
of alcohol.
A thoughtful examination of Biblical arguments
favoring alcohol was
conducted by Rev. Greg L.
Price ( http://bit.ly/PriceAlcohol ). Among Christians,
there are generally three
schools of thought on
alcohol: Prohibition, Abstention, and Moderation.
Prohibitionists suggest
that the scripture absolutely prohibits alcoholic
beverages; Abstentionists
believe that while not
expressly forbidden, it
is wise for Christians to
refrain from the use of
alcohol; and Moderationists believe that scripture
commends the use of
alcohol if done in moderation. Price finds that the
only position to find support from Scripture is the
Moderationist position.
The Moderationist
opinion also can be
supported by logic. If one
must completely prohibit
alcohol to prevent the
excess (drunkenness),
one should also prohibit
food to prevent the excess
(gluttony). No one can
rationally argue for the
complete prohibition of
food because it might
lead to gluttony, and a
similar case should be
made for alcohol. The old
maxim goes “all things
good in moderation.
Alcohol is also a rich
part of Kentucky history.
In fact, on any given day,
there are more barrels
of bourbon than people
in the Commonwealth.
The Bourbon Trail represents an attractive tour
of a multi-county industry.
Microbreweries are also
becoming very popular in
the state, attracting craft
beer aficionados and
discerning palates to take
Lexington’s “Brewgrass
Tour.”
Barbourville is seeking
to style itself as a new
tourism hub for Southeastern Kentucky. To keep
the tourism money in the
area, we need attractive
restaurants. We need
additional hotel and bed
and breakfast space. If
we want to attract those
kinds of venues, we need
to accommodate the reasonable request to allow
alcohol sales. While it is
true that the tax revenue
would go to the police department, this does serve
as partial budget relief
for the cash strapped city
budget, allowing money
to be moved to other
areas.
Whether you are for or
against the sale of alcohol,
it is in your favor to sign
the petition now circulating. If you are against the
sale, you want to bring
the vote on the question
– you can block the issue
for three more years. If
you are for it, then let's
the voting process take its
course. This is the democratic process in action,
and I hope that we all can
maintain a thoughtful, civil
discussion on this issue.
SCOT CLOUSE
KNOX COUNTY
A race track in Knox County won't work
I say no to the race track. As much
as anybody, that's why I ran for Knox
County Judge Executive.
Knox County workers need jobs,
not some other 10 ways to lose their
money. There will be too many tears
in their beer if it does come.
Gambling and drinking is not a
sound way to help Knox County and
its people.
Why didn't this work at Prestonsburg? The same reason it won't
work here, too many poor people.
If our leaders here are doing this,
they are getting the cart ahead of
the horse. The race track is for
people having fun, the ones that
have plenty of money to lose and
not worry about that. How many
in Knox County have that kind of
money?
Knox County's political leaders
are being pretty quiet bout this. Are
they waiting to give the perfect answer so they won't be wrong?
They should voice their opinion.
They are the leaders, or try to be.
Our Knox County judge has
watched hundreds of jobs leave
here and says he has brought in 30
jobs.
That is why some people want
this race track.
If he was worried as much about
the county getting jobs as he does
about his family and friends getting
jobs, there might be a few more
here.
This is the truth.
Gambling is a luxury, not a necessity.
Spring is almost here — time to spruce up your house and get rid

KSP warns of phone scams
The investigation is in
its early stages, but this
number is likely a Skype
account originating overseas. KSP does not and
will not ask anyone for
any banking or personal
information. (Although
KSP is currently involved
in raising funds for a fallen
trooper memorial, it does
not engage in cold call
telemarketing activities.)
KSP recommends
treating every solicitation
call as a scam until proven
otherwise. The best and
proper way to determine
the legitimacy of a charitable organization is to
check with the Kentucky
Attorney General’s office
by calling 502-696-5300 or

obtain donations (credit or

the AG’s office. The Better Business Bureau may also be a viable
option to check as well.
It also should be noted
that it is illegal for any lottery and/or a sweepstakes
to request that you send
money (for any reason).
Furthermore, all foreign
lotteries and/or sweepstakes are illegal.
Scams come in various
forms and are always
evolving into newer areas.

tip-offs to help avoid

Hiker to trace steps of
Daniel Boone
Special to the Advocate
On March 10, in a
research and pilot
project, Curtis Penix
will begin an historic
200-mile trek, hiking
the path marked by
Daniel Boone almost
250 years ago. A
46-year old Michigan
native with Kentucky
roots, Penix will begin
his 16-day trek at
Long Island on the
Holston River in what
is now Kingsport, Tennessee, the site from
which Daniel Boone
and his party left in
March 1775.
Following ancient
Indian and buffalo
trails, Boone and his
party of ax-wielding men blazed a
pathway through
the wilderness from
Tennessee through
the Cumberland Gap
into central Kentucky.
This pathway not only
gave tens of thousands of European
settlers a way into
land in what would
become the present
day Commonwealth
of Kentucky but, also,
opened the gateway
to the settlement of
the west.
Penix will follow in
the footsteps of his
5X great grandfather
Joshua Penix, who
helped establish
Boonesborough as
a permanent settlement in 1779. Although much of
Boone’s original road
has been lost to natural forces and land
development, Penix
will follow the route
determined by the
research of pioneer
history author Neal
O. Hammon in the
late 60’s and, most
recently, by John Fox,
MD, president of the
Friends of Boone
Trace, Inc. (an organization dedicated to
historical, educational
and research activities for the preservation of the Trace and
its legacy).
Approximately 20
% of the route will
be through privately
owned land which
Curtis has been
granted permission
to cross. “John Fox
has done a great job
seeking out portions
of the Trace that cross
private property. He
has gained permission from many
landowners, and I will
do so as well, when
possible. I am committed to not knowingly trespass and
will skirt any private
land where permission has not been
received,” explained
Penix.
Hiking alone for the
first 90 miles, Penix,
an experienced
backpacker, plans to
challenge himself by
carrying “the absolute
minimum” food and
supplies and, like his
ancestor, experience
the wonders of nature. “Many changes
have taken place in
the 200 years since
the Trace was blazed.
For instance, when I
ford the Cumberland
River in Pineville I will
be fighting my way
through the choking
vines of Kudzu, which
was introduced to
America 100 years
after the Trace was
established. But my
plans to hike the
Boone Trace are
rooted in my desire
to experience what
grandpa Joshua and
the other pioneers
experienced. They
were real people with
desires, motivations
and hardships that
went far beyond
mere recreational
hiking. This will be a
challenge for me, but
I want to walk in the
shadow of the mountains where Joshua
walked, to wade the
cold streams that
Joshua waded, and
sleep under the sky
that Joshua slept
under.”
At Martin’s Station,
VA, Penix will be
joined by Givan Fox,
son of John Fox, MD.
Together, they will
complete the remaining 105 miles over
Cumberland Gap to
Fort Boonesborough,
where they plan to
arrive on March 26.
Unlike his ancestor, Penix will be
equipped with GPS
and cellular satellite
communications
from which he will
report his progress.
On his website http://
www.lostinthewander.com/ followers
can track his progress
on a map and receive
photos and daily
blogs on Facebook,
e-mail or Twitter. Also
he will send prepared
posts on each historic
site along the way. For
example, on the day
he arrives at Twettys
Fort followers can access a post describing
the historical significance of that site.
This project is being
planned not only to
promote the hike and
the trail itself but also
to stimulate tourism
for the historical sites
and communities
along the route. Some
have hiked portions
of the Trace; others
have walked farther
and longer. Of the
few thousand Appalachian Trail hikers
each year, more than
300 complete the
2,180-miles route. In
light of this feat, the
Trace’s 200-mile route
might seem insignificant. However, as
Penix explained, “The
Appalachian Trail
or other recreation
trails do not have the
history or the weight
of accomplishment
of Boone Trace. The
Trace was traveled by
warriors who fought
for the land that sustained them, pioneers
who searched for
independence and
soldiers who helped
forge the greatest
country in the world.
“It is estimated that
47 million Americans
have ancestors who
traveled through
Cumberland Gap
seeking new lives in
the west. If the Boone
Trace can be reestablished and opened
to the public, literally
millions of Americans
will have the chance
to walk in the steps
of their ancestors.
Trail towns along the
way, like Middlesboro,
can serve as hosts for
people who want to
experience life along
‘that little road’ that
helped give birth to
the American dream.
Other national trails
like the Appalachian
and Pacific Crest were
created to provide a
sense of recreational
adventure. Boone
Trace was created
by true adventurers.
Along the sides of the
Boone Trace there
were no discarded
energy bar wrappers
and ‘points of interest’
signs, but the bones
of those who gave
their lives to travel it.”

LONDON - Eastern Kentuckians working for a just
transition to a more sustainable economy were
pleased to hear this morning’s announcement that
President Obama’s federal budget proposal includes increased funding
that would be available
for Central Appalachian
transition.
“This is great news. A
federal investment like
this can be a big part of a
just transition here in the
mountains,” said Elizabeth Sanders of Letcher
County who is a member
of Kentuckians For The
Commonwealth’s board.
“It can also be a great
help to the work that is already happening here on
the ground to create the
new, next economy.”
The president’s proposal includes $1 billion over
the next five years in accelerated payouts from
the Abandoned Mine
Lands Fund. These payouts would focus on both
mine reclamation and opportunities in economic
revitalization.
In addition, the proposal would boost workforce
development and job retraining programs with an
additional $25 million for
the Appalachian Regional
Commission and $5 million for the EPA’s work to

#SECONDBLESSINGS
Sheriff's Report
Twins collect shoes for fellow students
Photo courtesy of KCPS Media
Faith and Hope McKeehan collected over 750 pairs of shoes
to be distributed through the Family Resource Center.
BY FRANK SHELTON
Most kids have their
sights on new toys and
electronics for their
birthday, but two Knox
County students had bigger dreams for their 12th
celebration.
Faith and Hope McKeehan, sixth grade students
at Jesse D. Lay Elementary
School, set out to collect
shoes for their peers in an
organized shoe drive that
they called #secondblessings.
The twin girls, who
celebrated their birthday
on Jan.16, sent a challenge
to their friends to get the
shoe drive started. If they
received at least 40 pairs of
shoes at their birthday party, then two girls and two
boys would get to put a pie
in their face. With a total of
51 shoes being collected
in the single event, the girls
were all smiles as they
received both pies and the
start of many donations
towards their cause.“I
wanted to help my com-
munity and not just receive
a gift for my birthday,” said
Faith. “Hope and I thought
about blankets, food, or
shoes for the drive. We
spoke to Rita Wood (Family Resource Center in Knox
County), and decided on a
gently-used shoe drive.”
Knox County’s family
resource centers hand out
an average of 100 pairs of
shoes and flip-flops each
year to students for a variety of reasons. Faith recalls
the feeling of having to visit
the resource center well.
“Once I had to go to the
resource center to get a
pair of flip-flops because
mine had broke.”
The amount of shoes
donated quickly multiplied
in the weeks that followed
their birthday, as the girls
used the hashtag #secondblessings, to advertise
on social media and in
schools around the district.
“My sister and I can
share shoes, but a lot
of siblings cannot,” said
Hope.
“Helping others is some-
thing I want to try and do
more of. I may not be rich,
but I can help do a little in
my community.”
A little work by the girls
resulted in over 750 pairs
of shoes being donated,
with donations coming from as far away as
Georgetown and Bowling
Green from former Knox
County residents.
After sorting the shoes by
size, the next step for the
girls is to get them in the
hands (and on the feet) of
who needs them – their
peers. In the upcoming
days, resource center directors from around Knox
County will be invited to
the Board of Education
Annex to browse through
the shoes and get the sizes
that they need most frequently for their school.
“We want to thank our
friends and our community
for making our birthday
and the shoe drive so
successful,” echoed the
girls. Faith and Hop are the
daughters of Joy and Steve
McKeehan of Cannon.

Faith and Hope McKeehan made good on their challenge,
and each took a pie in the face after collecting more than 50
shoes on their birthday.
Barbourville Schools
get ready to Gear Up
BY DAVID STEWART
Barbourville
City
School’s Board held a
lengthy debate on upgrading and replacing the heating and air conditioning.
It was tabled to the next
board meeting so that Performance Systems could
be on hand to discuss the
cost and cost savings of
newly installed equipment
verses operating old less
energy efficient appliances.
Kay Dixon brought the
Board an overview of Gear
Up and the Gear Up Grant.
She explained, “The program is meant to lift and
focus school children and
give them college aspirations. Part of the focus is
to build academic skills
(math and language art).
We have received our grant
for $75,000 and it pays for 7
years. Most of the first year
funding is spent. Purchases include: 38 new computers in a mobile lab, 40
I-Pads, their charger and
covers. A ton of new books
purchased, and each science and math classroom
was equipped with a new
Texas Instrument “Lab”
also called an Inspire.”
Concerned board members asked if the WIFI at
the school was enough to
provide connectivity for all
of the new devices.
Kay Dixon discusses Gear up program with Board members.
Superintendent
Larry
Warren said, “This is a
problem, and we are currently looking for a way
to enhance or boost our
wireless ability.”
Other discussions included:
• A budget is being
drafted and Warren asked
the board if they could
be available to discuss it
within the next 2 weeks.
All agreed they would be
available.
• Board member Ken
Cobb offered a 1st motion
to extend Superintendent
Larry Warren’s contract.
• 716 children are enrolled in the school and
attendance was at 92%
during January.
• Enough blood was
raised during the last blood
drive to save 54 lives.
• Knoxville Mobile Zoo
will be at the school during
March.
• The PTO has sponsored three anti-bullying
shows (plays). These will
take place on Thursday.
Play times are 10 a.m.,
11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m..

china marking the 100th
anniversary of the B&O
Railroad were among
more than 50 new items
loaned or given to the
Corbin Railroad Museum
Saturday.
“It went really, really
well,” said Corbin Tourism
Director Maggy Kriebel.
We were really happy with
the turnout.”
One of the first to arrive
at the depot Saturday
morning was Helen
Carpenter who brought
various items that had
belonged to her husband,
Edward, who served as
the yardmaster at Corbin,
and her brother, George F.
Combs, who worked for
the L&N Railroad out of
Covington.
Carpenter brought in
photos, Operation Lifesaver coasters, trip passes
and bookends.
“I had it in my house
after I cleaned my brother’s house out,” Carpenter said, noting Combs
worked for the railroad for
approximately 20 years.
Joyce Newsome of
Corbin brought in items
from the B&O, C&O and
L&N, including the B&O
china, a coffee table book,
newsletters and pictures
of local railroad support
businesses such as the
YMCA in Corbin.
Newsome said her
parents had collected the
items through the years.
“My mother had the

the basement and has
planned on making a
display for it,” Newsome
said, adding she is happy
to give it to the museum
so that it has a good home
where people can enjoy it.
“When I read about the
museum in the paper, I
thought we might have
something they would be
interested in,” Newsome
said.
Kriebel said even though
the china is from the B&O
as opposed to the L&N
Railroad, it is one of the
most impressive pieces
brought into the museum.
“We intended to have
a crew area as part of the
museum and will probably
integrate the china into
that,” Kriebel said.
Kriebel admitted she
was hoping for more from
Corbin residents, who
might be able to clean
out their garage, attic or
basement and find some
railroad artifacts to give or
loan to the museum.
Kriebel noted that security measures have been
put in place to protect the
items.

What Every Knee Arthritis Sufferer Should Know
About This Often Successful Medical Treatment
The Advanced Medical Treatment Every Knee Arthritis Sufferer Needs To Know Before Thinking About Knee Replacement Surgery
Fayette County - If you
suffer with knee arthritis
pain, you have probably
already tried many treatments... especially countless pain medications.
Experienced doctors understand that, even though
pain medications such as
anti-inflammatory pain pills
are part of the recommended early treatment plan for
knee arthritis pain...they are
rarely the answer.
In most cases they have
minimal results (if any) and
have a laundry list of potential side effects. Some
being serious and even life
threatening.
Are There Any
Better Options?
Thankfully, advancements in science and technology come extremely
fast. And now there is a
very good option for knee
arthritis to help relieve the
pain.
An option that a lot of
knee arthritis sufferers
have never heard of...and
even worse... have not been
properly informed about.
Before we get into the
actual treatment, please understand this...
Osteo Relief Institute is a
real medical clinic that has
treated thousands of knee
arthritis sufferers. Patients
travel from all over the
country to be treated at their
clinic because they want
the best medical treatments
available.
What you are about to
discover is a REAL medical
treatment. Not a miracle
cure you see on infomercials or on the internet.
Know this fact: There
is no cure for arthritis. But
there is this treatment that...
when performed correctly
and with the proper technology... has already helped
thousands of knee arthritis
sufferers - possibly just like
you.
Even if you have heard
of this treatment - or even
tried it without good results - please read this. You
will find out why it may not
have worked for you and
how you may be able to get
much better results.
What is This
Treatment?
This treatment is called
viscosupplementation. And
it has gained quite a bit of
popularity in recent years
and it has gotten mixed results for a couple of reasons.
But before we get into
that, here’s what you need
to know about viscosupplementation.
When you have arthritis,
you suffer a decrease in the
cushioning and lubricating
fluids in your knee. In other
words, your knee joint basically “dries up.”
The lubricating fluid that
decreases is called “synovial fluid.”
Pharmaceutical companies (with the help of
scientists) can now make
natural synovial fluid gellike compounds that, during
viscosupplementation treatments...doctors can precisely introduce directly into the
knee and other joints.
This helps replace the
lubricating fluid to the knee
joint - allowing it to move
more freely and smoothly
and often decreasing or
even eliminating the pain.
What Results
Can Be Expected?
Like all medical treatments, the results vary and
can not be predicted. But
many knee arthritis sufferers get dramatic results. It is
not uncommon for patients
to either postpone knee
replacement surgery for
years... or even permanently
cancel it.
But There
Is A BIG Problem
The key is the treatment
must be EXTREMELY
PRECISE. If the injection
is slightly off, the medication will not get into the
knee joint and the treatment
will not work.
That’s why the experts
at Osteo Relief Institute use
advanced digital imaging so
Advanced Imaging Allows Doctors To Pin-Point
Treatments And Relieve Knee Arthritis Pain
Science rescues knee arthritis sufferers? Research shows joint injections done
without advanced imaging misses the joint about 30% of the time. Now doctors can
put lubricating fluid directly into the arthritic joint that may alleviate pain and restore
function to many.
they can see the medicine
going directly into the knee
joint during the treatment.
Research shows that doctors performing joint injections without imaging miss
the joint as much as 30% of
the time.
If you have tried viscosupplementation without
this special digital imaging
without good results - this
may be why.
That’s why Osteo Relief
Institute takes it even one
step further. They do not
just use one step process of
advanced imaging during
treatment - they use two in
their “double confirmation”
process. This is to ensure
patients get the best possible results.
Another Important
Factor
Viscosupplementation
medications also come in
several different brands and
chemical make-ups.
Just like all medications,
some people respond better
to some than others. While
many doctors only use one
brand, the experts at Osteo
Relief Institute use several
and great effort is taken to
figure out what the best one
for YOU is.
One last thing: The
experts at Osteo Relief Institute have found that the
earlier you start Viscosupplementation the better.
This is most likely because the longer you wait
- the more joint destruction
takes place.
That’s why Osteo Relief
is now seeing so many patients as young as 45.
Summary: If you have
knee arthritis pain and have
not tried Viscosupplementation, you should look into it
as soon as possible.
If you have tried it without good results, you may
still be able to get great results with the proper imaging and specific medication
Who Should
Try This Treatment?
Not everyone is a candidate for this treatment. But
if you are, there is a good
chance you may relieve
some... or possibly all of
your pain.
You are a potential candidate for this treatment if you
have knee pain and have not
gotten good results from anti-inflammatory medication
or other common arthritis
treatments.
Especially if you have already tried viscosupplementation without good results.
The best way to tell if you
are a good candidate for this
treatment is to be screened
by one of the doctors at
Lexington, KY.
What To Do Next If You
Are In Pain:
Your Invitation
Osteo Relief Institute
offers a limited number of
complimentary knee arthritis treatment screenings
every month. These screenings are a way for knee arthritis sufferers to get some
of their questions answered
and see if they are a candidate for this treatment. If
you would like a complimentary screening, just call
606-824-9155 and tell the
scheduling specialist who
answers the phone, “I would
like a complimentary knee
arthritis screening.”
The screenings fill up
fast every month. If you do
not call in time to get one
this month, the specialist
will schedule you for next
month.
This screening is no cost
and no obligation.
This treatment is covered
by many insurance plans
and Medicare.

Panther Chad Marsee goes up for two of his six first half
points against Whitley County. Knox Central broke a four
game losing streak with a 12 point victory.
The Knox Central Panthers got back on track last
Tuesday with a huge road
win over regional opponent Whitley Couty, 73-61.
Senior Forward Delonie
Graham and Senior Matthew Barger stepped up
with 27 points each to help
the Panthers (14-11) break
a four game losing streak.
Head Coach Jamie
Voight said after the game
that this win was huge for
his team. “It was a huge
win for us. This is a good
team. Anytime you can get
a road win in the region it
is a good win.”
Voight said that his team
needs to work on ball control. The Panthers had 16
turnovers in the 12 point
victory. “We have to make
better decisions with the
ball. We made some bad
passes and played out of
control at times. We have
to limit our turnovers to
10 or less to be successful [against the better
teams].”
The Panthers struck
first with a quick basket

of some dedicated parents, wonderful sponsors,
and his assistant coach,
Selina Dunaway (AKA his

the equipment needed and
compete in their first competition at Boyle County
High School. Coach Dunaway said, “I never realized being a coach would
make me feel like a fish
out of water. It requires a
lot of effort but it has been
well worth it! All the other
KCHS coaches have been
supportive and showed me
the ropes on a lot of stuff.
My support team has been
my success so far. They allowed KCHS archers to experience a great learning
opportunity at the Boyle
County competition.”
The KCHS Archery Team
was very excited and
proud of Macy Yother, a 7th
grader at Knox County Mid-
dle School, and daughter
of Mike and Crystal Yother.
She brought home the first
place medal in the female
middle school division at
the Boyle County competition. Several archers on the
team barely missed placing by only a few points.
Coach Dunaway said,
“The KCHS Archery Team
is a new team with lots of
talent and skill. Unlike other counties who have had
archery teams throughout elementary, middle,
and high school. We are
building a program with
students who have a lot of
talent as archers but with
very little experience. I feel
with more experience we
will be the team to beat in
the future!”

points, apiece, as the No.
23 Union College men's
basketball team never
trailed against Point (Ga.) on
Wednesday night, rolling to
an 81-65 victory in Appalachian Athletic Conference
play at Robsion Arena.
With the victory, the Bulldogs won their 12th straight
game to move to 21-4 overall,
13-1 in the AAC. Point fell to
3-23, 2-13 in the AAC with the
defeat.
In the victory, the game
was essentially put out of
Point's reach in the first three
minutes of regulation, as the
Bulldogs came out on absolute fire out of the gate. When
the dust settled, Union had
held a huge 14-0 lead with 17
minutes left in the first half.
The closest Point came to
the Union lead the rest of the
period was 12 points (41-29),
as the Bulldogs went into the
locker room up by 14 points
(43-29) over the visiting Skyhawks.
To start the second half,
Point was the aggressor, as
they scored the first four
points of the period to cut the
Union lead to 10 at 43-33.
This, however, was the
closest Point came to the
Union lead the rest of the
night, as the Bulldogs went
on a staggering 21-0 run over
the next six minutes to take
an insurmountable 64-33 lead
with 13:34 left. From there,
the Bulldogs rolled, as they
coasted to their 12th straight
win by 16 points.
Overall, Newby and Johnson led the way for Union
inside with their 17-point
evenings. Newby's night
was very impressive, as the
sophomore registered a double-double (his third of the
season) after pulling down
a career-high 12 rebounds.
Johnson once again didn't
miss a shot in a Union win,
going 8-for-8 from the floor in
his fifth straight double-digit
scoring game.
Elsewhere, Dominique
Hagans (SR/Lexington, Ky.)
went into double-figures yet
again, missing just two shots
(7-of-9) from the floor in a 16
point, six rebound, six assist
evening. Fitzgerald White
(SR/Miami, Fla.) rounded out
the double-digit scorers for
the Bulldogs, chipping in with
13 points in the victory.

The Panthers were determined to play an inside-out

Kristen & Lauren Pedersen (holding red WKU towel) with the group of Study Abroad students led by WKU Biology Professor, Dr. Keith Phillips (back row, right corner) and Derick
Strode, Assistant Professor of Gatton Academy (2nd row from left in gray shirt) take a rest
in front of a waterfall at the Cloudbridge Nature Reserve.
Special to the Mountain
Advocate
Kristen and Lauren Pedersen, Juniors at the Carol
Martin Gatton Academy
of Mathematics and Science in Bowling Green,
recently completed a 16day study abroad program
in Costa Rica during their
Winter-term with Western
Kentucky University.
The first few days of
their trip was spent at the
Goldring-Gund Marine Biology Field Station at Playa Grande in Guanacaste,
Costa Rica, doing field
work with leatherback tur-
tles. “Patrolling the beach
at night looking for nesting leatherback turtles
and releasing the hatchlings were experiences
that I will never forget.”
said Lauren Pedersen.
Goldring-Gund Marine Biology Field Station hosts
EarthWatch expeditions
and was named by Travel+Leisure as one of the
four sites to see “where
the wild things still are.”
The centerpiece of
the trip was the Cloudbridge Nature Reserve.
Students were put in research groups to study the
cloud forest ecosystem. “I
was on the team to study
mammal and bird diversity. We set up camera traps
to capture pictures of large
cats that might be in the
area. We were successful in capturing the image
of an ocelot which was
very exciting!” said Kristen
Pedersen. Lauren’s group
did research in tree diversity and monitoring and
learned about the three
different types of forest
successions: primary, secondary and new planting.
“We did a lot of hiking at
Cloudbridge and the nearby Chirripo National Park,
averaging 12 km/day,”
added Lauren. The group
of sixteen students led by
WKU professor Keith Phil-
lips and Gatton Academy
Assistant Director Derick
Strode took time to rest
in front of a beautiful waterfall during one of those
long hikes. The students
made individual presentations on their assigned
species in the 5th Annual
Gatton Academy Research
Symposium held at the
Cloudbridge classroom.
The final part of the trip
was to Poor Man’s Paradise on the Osa Peninsula,
which is only accessible
by boat. This was adjacent
to Corcovado National
Park, which National Geographic has called “the
most biologically intense
place on Earth.” The students stayed in jungle treetop cabins just a few minutes’ walk from the Pacific
ocean. The group got to
see a two-toed sloth, howler monkeys, spider monkeys, white-faced capuchin monkeys, bullsharks,
collered peccaries, tayras
and more. “We were the
1st Gatton led group to see
a tapir.” added Kristen.
“Poor Man’s Paradise was
my favorite part of the trip
because with our research
projects behind us, I could
relax and just enjoy the
wildlife both on land and
at sea.”said Lauren.” I
loved it because we got to
SCUBA dive and saw over
twenty white-tipped reef
sharks, a hawksbill turtle,
sting-rays and lots and
lots of colorful fish!” exclaimed Kristen. The twins
were very thankful to have
this unique opportunity to
study biodiversity in Costa
Rica and added that they
would encourage a StudyAbroad program in everyone’s college experience.
Lauren and Kristen Pedersen attended St. Camillus Academy and Barbourville High School before
they were admitted to the
class of 2016 with the Carol Martin Gatton Academy
of Math and Science at
WKU in Bowling Green,
KY. They are twin daughters of Dr. Paul and Anne
Pedersen of Barbourville.

Bloom where you are planted
Memories are like precious keepsakes stored
away in a safe place deep
within channels of our
minds. Our lives are like
plot lines in a novel with
good and bad. Our past
is like an art gallery. On the
walls are all yesterday’s
pictures: our home, our
childhood, our parents,
our heartaches, hard
times as well as the good
times. When I take a walk
down the corridors of my
memories it is refreshing
to my heart. Remembering childhood days puts
me in touch with the child
that dwells deep with in. I
choose to remember the
good times and in doing so
the not so good are completely erased covered by
the good.
Choosing to remember
the good days of childhood
reminds me of the faith I
had as a child. Getting in
touch with that principal
brings balance to my approach to life today.
Looking back over the
years of your life, do you
ever wonder in what way
you being here on earth
have influenced and or
benefited those around
you? I’ve carried my grandma’s advice all these many
years, “child not everyone
is meant to do great things
in life, so bloom where you
are planted,” she would
Memories
Mildred Higgins
say. I think grandma was
wise beyond her year.
I feel very fortunate to
have good memories of
time spent with her. I was
lucky to have gleaned her
knowledge of our family’s
past. She reminded me to
look forward to the future
but to cherish my roots
and the family members
who paved the trail before
my time. One could say
that I dwell in the past,
but I do so to remember
with respect those special
people. Our ancestors,
whose shoulders we stand
on today.
I have many memories of
good times, each memory
is sweet and tender to me
like the old photographs
I keep tucked away from
time to time I take one
out to reminisce about an
experience or event. I’m
thankful for the many life
lessons and the opportunity
to learn from the greatest
generation.
An old Chinese proverb
says, “A single conversation across the table with
a wise man is worth a
month’s study of books.” I
agree with this completely.
At a very young age I was
aware of all that could be
learned from watching and
listing to conversations of
older folk, from. However,
I was too young to fully
understand the wisdom
behind their words and
thoughts. As time passed
I came to know the meaning behind their advice
and strong feelings about
living life fully. They drove
home the importance of
being of strong character,
caring and trustworthy. At
that time I was too young
to understand their effort to
enlighten me sometime appeared to be hard. Grandma wanted me to know
that I could overcome
obstacles that life would
surely bring. I believe she
would be pleased to know
that I took her advice and
“bloomed where I was
planted.”
Life is a beautiful gift and
I’ve lived it fully.
Millie’s thought for today;
as I end this writing, the
noise of the day is being
exchanged for the stillness
of the evening. The peace
of the moment covers me
like a warm blanket.
Warming me with the
sense of respect and reverence for life remembering
the good times passed and
the things learned along
the way.

Heroes, on and off the court
The basketball
season for this winter
is almost finished;
March madness is just
around the corner.
There are basketball teams at every
level in our schools. It
used to be elementary
school teams made up
of seventh and eighth
graders, but now there
are elementary teams,
then the middle school
and on to high school.
The high school teams
are usually made up of
the best players from the
elementary and middle
school teams.
Even though I have not
attended an elementary
school basketball game
for years, I can tell when
there is a game at Dewitt
by the number of cars
parked there; the place
is packed.
I do not think there is
a PTA or Parent-Teacher
conference going on.
I can just imagine the
noise level as parents
and friends cheer on
their team. I can also
imagine that most of the
fans are definitely for
one team rather than to
watch the development
of the youth.
I think the gym rocks
to both applause and
boos as the biased
Stinking Creek
News
Irma Gall
Lend-A-Hand Center
crowd plays right along
with the game.
I have been to high
school basket ball
games lately to watch
both the game and fans.
The gym is full of noisy
and biased fans also.
However, only a few
of the best high school
players get to go on to
be on the college teams
and even fewer get to be
on a local college team.
I have attended the
Union College games,
both men’s and ladies’
teams, for many years.
I have had the opportunity to see a few local
participants during that
time. There have been
several from Knox County, Barbourville, Corbin,
Pineville, Bell County,
Middlesboro, Harlan
etc. I imagine several of
them played as opponents in high school.
Union College teams
are made up of star athletes from a wide variety
of schools. So there is a
team of the star or best
high school players. But,
somewhere along the
line, we have lost the
fans that followed every
game in high school.
There are a few scattered around, but they
are hard to spot.
Last week at a Union
game, I had the opportunity to witness an
opportunity for the stars
to be just that.
About 20 small boys
from Lay Elementary
school came into the
gym as the men’s team
was warming up. They
lined up under the
basket cheering at each
basket made.
Then, just before the
game started, as the
men were lining up
for each team to have
their names called out
over the speakers, the
announcer introduced
the young boys.
As their names were
called out, the Union
players greeted them in
sports-like fashion.
Talk about hero
worship! The small boys
literally looked up with
adoring eyes as each
of the college players
touched fists or shook
hands.
What a touching moment! It was a real time
and opportunity to be a
star.
