According to Whitley County Coroner Andy Croley, the death investigation began sometime around 5 p.m. Saturday. Neighbors say the couple’s son hadn’t been at school for several days. “At this point, it’s multiple deaths,” Croley said. “There’s too much going on right now to say much more. That’s really all I know.” Corbin Police Chief David Campbell said investigators found the three bodies in the home Exploding meth lab nets two arrests when they arrived. He said the discovery is being investigated as a triple homicide. Rob Jones, Public Information Officer with the Corbin Police Department, said his department was contacted by Baltimore County Police at about 4 p.m. Saturday. That contact led to officers going to the home where they made the gruesome discovery. The three murder victims have been identified as Kevin Hendrix, Dr. Sarah Hendrix and their daughter Grace. The couple’s son, Jason, was killed earlier Saturday morning following a pursuit and shootout with police near Baltimore, MD. He injured SEE MURDER, PAGE 3A Photo courtesy of News Journal Above, the home of Kevin and Sarah Hendrix, at 1212 Forest Circle Drive in Corbin, is encircled by police tape Saturday evening.

STORM BLASTS KNOX, RECORD COLD COMING BY BOBBIE POYNTER Editor Shannon Reeves Scott Reeves BY BOBBIE POYNTER Editor A Barbourville man was arrested Wednesday, Feb. 11, after receiving treatment for burns he allegedly received during a meth lab explosion. Following a lead in the case, Knox County sheriff ’s deputies, along with Social Services, paid a visit to a home on First Street in Barbourville. There, Social Services removed a five-year-old child who had been living at the home where the meth lab exploded so they could place him in a safe environment. Scottie Reeves, who was burned during the explosion, was found hiding in a closest. Reeves was arrested and charged with manufacturing meth, unlawful possession of meth precursors, possession of drug paraphernalia, five counts of wanton endangerment – which was later amended to four counts and resisting arrest. Upon further investigation, authorities learned Shannon Reeves, wife of Scottie Reeves, had lied to the police about who all was living at the home where the meth lab exploded, including the five-yearold child. Deputies returned to the house on First Street Tuesday afternoon and arrested Shannon Reeves. Like her husband, Shannon Reeves was charged with manufacturing meth, unlawful possession of meth precursors, possession of drug paraphernalia, and four counts of wanton endangerment. She was also charged with falsely reporting an incident. Both Scottie and Shannon Reeves were lodged in the Knox County Detention Center. Knox County Sheriff ’s Deputy Buster Liford is continuing the investigation. This year’s winter will surely be one for the record books, not only across the northern most states, but here in Knox County as well. In response to the heavy snows and bitter cold across the Commonwealth Monday, Gov. Steve Beshear declared a statewide emergency to allow local officials immediate access to state resources to assist in public safety and recovery efforts. Knox County Judge Executive J.M. Hall, also declared a local state of emergency. “This situation creates considerable hardships for the citizens of Knox County,” said Judge Hall in the declaration, “and local government has the responsibility to protect the public health, safety and welfare.” “During Monday’s snowSEE FREEZE, PAGE 3A Photo by Bobbie Poynter Road crews worked throughout the night Monday clearing the road of snow.

After conducting an invesSEE REPORT, PAGE 3A Alcohol petition actively circulating BY JAY NOLAN Publisher A petition to allow alcohol sales in Knox County is still making its rounds through city voters. Commenting on the petition, Knox County Clerk Mike Corey said: “Legally, they have six months from the date of the first signature to turn in a petition with the required number of signatures. Personally, I have not seen or heard anything much about it yet.” If the petition is certified, then the law states the Judge-Executive must set the date for a special election. “The election must be within 60 to 90 days of the petition’s certification, unless a date is called for within the petition.” Corey added. The Knox Clerk noted past elections, including two wet/dry vote elections held three years ago, have run smoothly. Reflecting on that success, he acknowledged all those local citizens who have worked the polls in past elections. “Knox County has 240 election officers that worked very hard to make our election process run smoothly. We really appreciate all their good work,” he said.

Shallow water aerobics A grandchild, a sick day and trivia Country Girl Sass Dora Sue Oxendine Farmer Being a grandparent who lives close to her grandchildren can bring some unexpected events oftentimes very pleasurable. All of my four grandchildren whom I lovingly call “My Grands,” live here in Knox County, three of whom live right across the road from my house. Not long ago my youngest granddaughter had a really bad cold and ended up spending the day with me. After making her comfortable on the couch in my living room, I asked her if she wanted to play a game for awhile. We ended up playing a game she had gotten for Christmas called Eye Know, a trivia game, whose object is to be the first person to collect 5 cards by identifying the images and correctly answering questions about those images. The game contains 400 game cards with pictures ranging from fictional characters, TV/ movie/music personalities to historical figures/ US Presidents and foreign leaders along with famous places around the USA and the world. It’s a great game to play with your child/grandchild if he/she happens to be on an academic team. Courtney, a highly intelligent nine-year-old fourth grader at GR Hampton Elementary, just happened to win Knox County’s Rookie MVP Award at the County’s Academic Team Banquet this year. Pardon me for my proud Nana moment just now. Eye Know just happens to be one of my favorite games as well so being eager to begin the game, we started playing around 9:00 and played for nearly 3 hours stopping only to eat lunch. I kept telling her that this game was providing valuable information that she might possibly encounter during next year’s academic meets. The game’s questions depending on whether you rolled a 1, 2, or 3 on the die, offered a variety of answer choices; # 1 was a true/false, # 2 a multiple choice and lastly #3 was an open ended more difficult one. After going through at least 200 Eye Know cards, we decided to play a different trivia game. This next game, appropriately named Smart A** (which rhymes with Large Bass), pictured a goofy looking jackass on the box lid and featured a game board and two dice, one numbered and one colored. Smart A** focused on your ability to know facts from 3 different categories, Who am I, What am I and Where am I. The colored die corresponded to the categories of questions. By the time we had played several rounds of Smart A**, had an afternoon snack, took turns reading Little House in the Big Woods, and watched Arthur and Martha the Talking Dog on Netflix, it was time for Wendy, my daughter, to arrive to pick up Courtney. I had spent my entire day doing one of my most favorite things, enjoying time with my Baby Grand… Girl, that is. If you have grandchildren, I hope you get to spend at least one day with them this winter. Whether it’s a snow day spent baking cookies or doing arts and crafts or one like mine tending a sick child, I hope you treasure this greatest of all pleasures, sharing time with a precious “Grand.” The game Eye Know is Resolve yourself to be better informed and save money in the coming year by purchasing a subscription to your hometown news source!

Ash Wednesday, Lent, Good Friday, Easter, along with Advent and Memorial Day are a few of the religious holidays that were not a part of the vocabulary or life of many of the people along Stinking Creek for many years. It did not seem to be times emphasized by the preachers in most of the churches of the area. Although I have heard of songs composed by local people to remember disastrous events like a big flood, other events were not observed. Even birthdays did not seem to be an event for a special meal, cake or presents. Maybe a big family of six to sixteen children living in a three-room or fourroom house with very little income might have made celebrations seem extravagant. In later years since T V, living outside the creek could have exposed some Stinking Creek News Irma Gall Lend-A-Hand Center of us to a wider vocabulary and ideas. Actually it seems more of our families look forward to this time of the year as the time when family members return to the home place. It is often the first time those working and living in northern states come home for home cooking. But today is Ash Wednesday in many places in the Christian world. It is the first day of Lent. It follows Shrove Tuesday or Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras which seems to have become a time to do all the things one shouldn’t do during Lent. Lent is preparatory time to be repentant of evil things that sneaked into our lives during the winter months. Why Ash Wednesday? It was the practice of ancient times to don sackcloth and ashes as a symbol of complete sorrow. Ash or ashes is the simplest substance that remain after all has been burned away. So it can become the symbol of deep sorrow. The early Christian Church used to burn the palms after Palm Sunday for ashes to be placed on the heads of the worshipers. The Roman Catholic Church started the observance and some Protestant Churches have observed Ash Wednesday in some manner. So this Wednesday does have a special meaning to some people and is the first day of Lent, which leads us to Easter.

Teen injured in ATV accident BY BOBBIE POYNTER Editor Local authorities say a 16-year-old Knox County girl was rushed to the Knox County Hospital shortly before dark Monday after she was involved in a freak ATV accident on Artemus Road. Sources say the accident occurred during a sleigh ride trip. Knox Hospital staff tried to secure a helicopter to take her to Lexington; however, helicopters were unable to fly due to the inclement weather conditions. Family and friends then drove the girl to the UK Medical Center, where they say emergency surgery was performed around midnight to repair severe damage to one of her ears.

John Tilley, the bill’s chief sponsor and the chair of the House Judiciary Committee. “The measures in our bill represent a lot of thought and are backed up by data and the experiences of other states. My goal now is to make sure these provisions remain in what ultimately becomes law this year.” House Bill 213’s number itself is symbolic, because it represents the Feb. 13th birthday of state Rep. Joni Jenkins’ nephew, Wes Jenkins, who died as a result of a heroin overdose. She spoke on the House floor about his life and how he became addicted. In addition to Rep. Tilley and Rep. Jenkins, who chairs the House Budget Review Subcommittee on Human Resources, the working group that helped to write the bill includes Reps. Tom Burch, who chairs the House Health and Welfare Committee; Dennis Keene, who chairs the Licensing and Occupations Committee; Denny Butler, who chairs the Budget Review Subcommittee on Justice and Judiciary and is retired from the Louisville Police Department; and Rep. Mike Denham, another member of the Appropriations and Revenue Committee. Precious Memories BY MILDRED HIGGINS I found it while I was spring cleaning. It was only a tiny clothespin, but it brought with it a flood of memories. As I gripped the small object tightly in my hand, I felt the years melt away. It was a rough time for families everywhere. In an attempt to bring the country out of the depression, President Franklin Roosevelt had just established the New Deal. My father worked for the Public Works Administration, helped build roads and dams, and worked on the federal projects. Families in our town had little money to spend on nonessentials, but my four- year-old mind knew only that my daddy went off to work every day. As I held the tiny clothespin in my hand, I remembered sitting on the floor, my eyes glued on an advertisement I’d found in a catalog. It featured a wondrous “drink and wet” baby doll with marvelous accessories — a bottle, clothing, diapers, a washtub, a clothesline, and of course clothespins — all packed in a carrying case. I had pored over the picture for days and knew every item by heart. The next morning, as daddy got ready for work, I ran up to him, bubbling over with excitement. “Daddy, see this doll?” I asked, pointing to the picture. He knelt down beside me and looked as I listed all the items that came with the doll. “Isn’t it the bestest, Daddy? Please get it for me and do not forget the clothespins. They are so little and cute. My father, a man of few words hugged me and said, “We’ll see.” All day my excitement mounted. I could hardly wait until he came home with my doll. My mother tried to prepare me for disappointment, but I would not listen to reason. “Daddy will do it,” I declared. I knew daddy would bring me the doll. “Grace, you must remember that daddy doesn’t have much money ,and the doll costs a lot,” Mama said trying a different approach. However, nothing my mother said dampened my enthusiasm. Long before, it was time for daddy to arrive home from work. I positioned myself at the window to wait. Finally, I saw him walking down the road. I jumped up and dashed out the door. “Grace, honey, come back,” my mother called. Ignoring her, I ran to meet daddy and get my new doll. As I got closer to him, I saw he was carrying his black metal lunch box in one hand and what looked like a suitcase in the other. “My doll!” I cried as I reached for him. “My doll! I knew you would get my doll, daddy.” He switched his lunchbox to the other hand with the case and hoisted me up. “I couldn’t disappoint my little girl, he said. Now as I stand holding the clothespin, I realize that he had never disappointed me. He had always be there to get me all things I needed and some things I didn’t need, but desperately wanted. Buying that doll meant he was not able to purchase something that he might have needed. Through the years, my daddy was always there for me, offering me security and love no matter what form of sacrifice it meant for him. {Author unknown} Millie’s thought for today, “Precious memories that echo in your own soul live long after you’ve turned the page of your memory book.” Unknown Mildred Higgins russandmill@netzero. net Winter Storm Day 2: Transportation Cabinet road crews continue plowing Some crews able to begin clearing secondary routes FRANKFORT, Ky.– On Day 2 of a winter storm that left the Commonwealth in deep snow and a deep freeze, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet road crews continued plowing to keep interstates and other main routes open. Crews in some areas were able to launch into cleanup work – clearing intersections, turn lanes and crossovers – and begin tending to secondary routes. Gov. Steve Beshear on Monday declared a statewide emergency because of the storm, which blanketed the Bluegrass State with up to a foot of snow. It fell at such a rate that plowed roadways quickly became covered again. A break in the snowfall today is helping crews get a leg up on main routes. But the National Weather Service today issued special weather statements warning of a second, light round of snow late today and tonight, mainly in western Kentucky, and slick conditions virtually everywhere. The Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) can deploy 1,000 snow plows and 385 contractors with plows, but has responsibility for 63,000 lane miles of roadway. Some districts supplemented the plow fleet with road graders. The cabinet also de- ployed 17 SAFE Patrol trucks – Safety Assistance for Freeway Emergencies – whose drivers are trained to render emergency assistance. SAFE Patrol units operate along interstate routes, parkways, U.S. 23 and KY 80. “It has been a major challenge to keep our interstates and other main routes passable,” Kentucky Transportation Secretary Mike Hancock said. If travel cannot be avoided, motorists are advised to slow down, buckle up, rid themselves of distractions such as cell phones and keep extra distance – at least 500 feet – between themselves and other vehicles. Snow removal efforts have been focused on the interstates and other major routes. Secondary and rural roads will be salted and plowed once main routes have been cleared.

In the news business, lots of time and effort is devoted to calendars, schedules and tracking different events. When more events are happening at the same time, the key is to cover the ones with the biggest names or that are most important to our readers. 7 So, if our congressman is presenting an award to the Knox County Unite, it is an event we want to cover. When the Governor and the congressman are both being joined by over 1,000 citizen leaders from Knox and many surrounding counties for a SOAR summit in Pikeville, that’s even bigger news. So, we make plans, schedule our days, and decide just how things will be covered. Then…BAM, suddenly snow is falling over an inch an hour. The worst winter storm to hit our region in over a decade causes powerful congressmen to cancel meetings. Governors change their schedules and close roads. Huge companies like FedEx stop operations. Heck, even the post office trucks could not deliver the mail. I know I certainly had not From the Publisher Jay Nolan [email protected] planned on shoveling snow this week. Probably none of you did either, but yet many of us had shovels in hand. We found ourselves moving not to work or school. No, for hours we found ourselves moving some of the deepest snow in years off our driveways, roads and sidewalks. Just getting to work has been almost impossible for lots of us, and actually impossible for others. Worse yet, the weather experts tell us sub-zero temperatures and possibly even more snow is headed our way! And there is not a thing any one of us – from the Governor to you, or the congressman to me, can do about it. But, you see, I think the winter storm reminds us who is really in charge. And it’s definitely not us! So, I think we may need to change our perspective. Instead of complaining about the storm, maybe I should be thankful for warm clothes and a safe home. Instead of complaining about my plans changing, maybe I should change my focus and make sure my friends have heat. Is the winter cold just numbing my brain, or am I starting to actually figure this stuff out? What do you think?

What a wonderful - yet under used by the community - resource this has been. Cost of participating in activities at the center is very affordable. Individuals can work out on their own or join a variety of classes. Seasonal swim lessons are offered, as well as a youth competitive swim program. Special events are constantly in the works. The “Biggest Loser” competition is currently underway and has created a lot of excitement, as well as generating some healthy rivalry. Stivers also show- cases a well-used hydro therapy pool. It is ideal for individuals with arthritis, back issues, joint problems etc. In addition to school age youth swim clubs, the competitive pool is used by area high school sports teams and Union College.
