they bargained for Thursday afternoon when they
found a cache of firearms, including several
magazines, a rifle, a billy
club and a hatchet, hidden inside a suspect’s
truck, along with a 45

caliber pistol under the
seat fully loaded and cocked.
Jessie William Davis, 28, of Artemus, was arrested for being a convicted felon in possession of firearms

store officials say she

Barbourville police officers located
Wheat’s vehicle, a 1998 Dodge Durango,
in the parking lot and attempted to stop
her. However, Wheat refused to stop
and took off, running the red light at KY
3439, and leading the police on a highspeed chase down US 25E, exceeding
speeds of 100 mph.
“She ran numerous people off the
road and nearly hit several more,” said
Barbourville Police Office Josh Lawson.

Editor
After receiving complaints
of possible drinking and
drug activity in the Union
Plaza parking lot Friday
night, Barbourville Police, with the help of KSP
officers, blocked off the
entrances and performed a
late-night walk through of
vehicles in the parking lot.
During a routine check, BPD
K-9, Dusty, alerted officers to
a red pickup where officers
found a baggie filled with
marijuana and an undisclosed amount of cash.

Barbourville Police Chief

fighting the war on drugs in
Barbourville every day of the

And it’s a steep uphill battle.

out to be drug related, Chief
Tye told those gathered at the
Knox Count Coalition meeting
Tuesday.
“It may not look like it,” he
said. “You may not see it. But
we’re out here fighting it every
day and every night,” he said.
Officers, he said are putting
in a lot of overtime trying to
keep up with the numerous

On June 10, 2015, officers of
the Knox Historical Museum visited newly reconstructed Ketchen
School located in southwestern
Knox County.
The reconstruction was carried
out by Larry McKeehan and his
father, Junior McKeehan, who
gave a tour to the Museum’s
Mike Mills, Steve Valentine, and
Charles Mitchell.
Ketchen School is located on KY 1809 at Bennett Park, which is
across from Little Poplar Creek Baptist Church.
The main portion of the school is made of locally hewed rocks from
the same location. It was constructed in 1936 by the WPA (Works
Progress Administration), then replacing a wooden school building that
was nearby.
Volunteers who worked on this project.A concrete block addition was
built in 1957. This addition served students in grades 4-8, while the
older building housed students in grades 1-3.
Ketchen School was closed in 1969-70 when G.R. Hampton Elementary School was opened.
The last teacher at the one-room school was A.J. Senters, who later taught at G.R. Hampton School.
Junior McKeehan recalled that H.C. Miracle paid him 5 cents to light the stove every morning. He also recalled that every year or so the students would oil the school’s floor.
Currently the old one-room portion of Ketchen School, with
its pot-bellied stove, is used for local picnics and gatherings.
The new section of the school is used as a school museum.
Ketchen Cemetery is the source of the school’s name after
the family that settled there.

Mystery of secret petition will soon be revealed
Is Knox County going
wet? Seems like back
when it was cold and
snowing, a group announced they would be
circulating a petition to
hold a wet\dry vote. The
mystery is, will there be a
wet/dry election in Knox
County or not? Has sum-

mer weather warmed up
the wet forces to work
harder, or have they de-
cided to seek shade and
let it slide?
Has anyone even seen
such a petition lately? We
have heard it exists. But
as with the great pumpkin, Bigfoot, and Loch
Ness Monster, I have not
actually seen it. At least
not yet.
Clerk Mike Corey tells
me the law allows up to
six months to get enough
signatures and submit
the petition at the courthouse. If the petition is
presented, then certified,
we have a vote.
Problem is, the six
months begins from the
date of the first signature. So, if there still is a
petition circulating, when
was it first signed?
If it was January - time
is up and there will be
no vote. Even if it were
first signed in March, the
deadline is near.
So, either way, before
long, we will know the
answer to this mystery.
Will a petition be presented this month? Will
Knox continue to stay
Dry? Or will we vote and
go Wet like Corbin and
Manchester?
What do you think?

INMATE EXPELS PILL
BOTTLE HIDDEN IN ANUS
BY DEAN MANNING
For the Mountain Advocate
CONTAINER SMELLED OF FECES,
CONTAINED OVER 40 PILLS
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Pictured above is the drugs and cash recovered from Fields.
BY BOBBIE POYNTER
Editor
An inmate at the Knox County Detention Center had promoting contraband
added to his list of charges when a bottle
of pills allegedly fell down his pants leg
and onto the jail floor.
Marshall Fields, Jr. 48, of Bimble was
arrested around 1:30 a.m. Monday at
Messer’s Market on US 25E for public
intoxication. While Fields was being
arrested, he removed two controlled
substance pills from his pocket and threw
them across the hood of Sheriff ’s Deputy
Mikey Ashurst’s cruiser.
Once he was processed at the Knox
County Detention Center, Fields was
dressed in Knox County Detention Center
inmate clothing. Then, while moving
about inside the facility, a pill container
was observed by jail staff falling out of his
pants leg onto the floor. The container
smelled of human feces and contained
over 40 assorted units of controlled substances.
A detention center official reported
Fields was, in fact, given a strip search
by jail staff; however, inmate cavity
searches are performed
only by a certified nurse
or medical staff, and
then only if something
is noticed protruding
during a strip search.
Strip searches are warMarshall Fields Jr. ranted by a drug related
arrest, but an immediate
body cavity search is only warranted
if police say the suspect tried to hide
something.
Fields was charged with Public Intoxication, Prescription Controlled Substance
not in Original Container, Possession
of Controlled Substance 2nd and 3rd
Degrees, Trafficking in a Controlled
Substance and Promoting Contraband 1st
Degree.
Deputy Ashurst also arrested Gwen
Carnes Collins age 58 of Flat Lick,
charging her with Public Intoxication
and Trafficking Controlled Substance 3rd
Degree after several Valium and Hydrocodone pills were found on her person
along with over $860 in cash. She, too,
was lodged in the Knox County Detention
Center.

A Gray woman is facing
multiple assault charges
after she allegedly stabbed
her boyfriend and then
fought with Knox County
Sheriff ’s deputies and Kentucky State Police when
they found the butcher
knife on her person at
the Knox County Hospital
Sunday afternoon.
Thirty-two-year-old
Jessica Lowe reportedly
had to be tazed before law
enforcement was able to
restrain her and secure her
in handcuffs.
According to Deputy Carl
Frith, he was initially called
to 88 Elk River Court off
of Old Barbourville Hwy.
in Gray in response to a
domestic dispute involving
Lowe and her live-in boyfriend James Barton that
had turned physical.
When Frith arrived on the
scene, he reportedly found
Lowe walking down the
road, with a cut to her arm.
Lowe was taken by ambulance to Knox County
Hospital.
Frith continued on to the
scene where emergency
personnel were working
on Barton, who had been
stabbed in the side, with
what Frith later described
as a “butcher knife.”
Barton was airlifted
to the University of Tennessee Medical Center,
where he is listed in stable
condition.
“He was taken straight
into surgery, so I didn’t
have a chance to speak
with him,” Frith said.
Frith said Lowe declined
to speak to officers.
“She was so messed up,
you couldn’t get anything
out of her,” Frith said of
Lowe.
Following treatment, officers attempted to search
Lowe prior
to taking
her to
the Knox
County
Detention
Center.
Jessica Lowe
Frith
said Lowe
began fighting with officers
and pulled out the butcher
knife that had reportedly
been hidden in the back
waistband of her pants.
While holding his hand
on the blade of the knife,
Frith said he deployed his
Tazer and was able to gain
control of Lowe.
Frith suffered a minor
cut on his hand.
Lowe has been charged
with first-degree assault,
third-degree assault upon
a police officer, second-degree fleeing or evading
police and tampering with
physical evidence.
At her arraignment
Monday in Knox District
Court, a not-guilty plea was
entered on Lowe’s behalf.
Lowe is scheduled to
return to court at 11 a.m.
Tuesday for a preliminary
hearing to determine
whether there is probable
cause to present the case to
a Knox County grand jury.
Lowe remains in the
Knox County Detention
Center on a $50,000 cash
bond.

Hospital board
upset with
software glitches
BY JAY NOLAN
Publisher
Long simmering software issues hit the boiling
point during the Knox
Hospital board meeting
Monday. “The system does
not work like it is supposed to,” Dr. Tom Ashburn told his fellow board
members, referring to the
CSS software system now
used at the hospital.
“One glitch in the system
involving just one department caused it to not to
identify 12,000 respitory
procedures,” Administrator
Ray Canady said during
the meeting. He noted that
fortunately staff personnel
identified the error, but
had to manually process
12,000 transactions. “This
could have cost us over
$200,000,” staff members
told the board.
After a lengthy discussion,
the board authorized Chairman J.M. Hall or Administrator Canady to represent
the board with the vendor,
telling them to take whatever steps deemed necessary
to resolve the software
problems. Options mentioned ranged from top-level negotiations, to taking
legal action, to finding a
Parents and students

Aug. 3, to register for the
new school year.
Assistant Principal Brian
Carey says he is excited
about the upcoming year.
“We’re looking forward
to a fresh start, everyone
is eager to get in and get
started.”
According to Carey, this
year the schedule will be a
bit differant that in the past.
“We have a six-weeks-on
and two-weeks-off schedule.” Said Carey. Classes
will go for six weeks, then
have a two week break.
If school is canceled due
to weather, the time can
easily be made up during
the two week break.
“This way we know for
sure that school will let
on on May 26,” explained
Carey.

know you want to work this
out, but they have not done
what they said they would,
and have put us in a bad
spot,” member Bob Mitchell
told the board and staff.
In other action, the
group received an update
on the annual financial
audit of the hospital. Consultant Greg Britt, and CFO
Amanda Ellis anticipate
the audit will be completed by the middle of next
month. “I don’t expect the
auditors to make any big
changes to our current
projections,” Britt said.

by the board show the
hospital’s June revenue
was $3,970,095, and the
facility earned $230,515

After extensively reviewing Emergency Room patient satisfaction surveys,

KC’s CROSS COUNTRY READY TO COMPETE
BY MICHAELA MILLER
For The Mountain Advocate
After many rewarding
off-season practices, it’s finally fall, which means that
the cross country teams are
ready to compete.
Coach of the boys’ team,
Wesley Reith, has set some
goals he wants to accomplish this year.
“I’d like to see our team
win the SEKC, the Area 8
Championship and have a
team qualify for state,” said
Reith.
The boys’ team has four
seniors this year Reith believes will be great leaders
throughout the season.
“I think as far as leadership goes, Mitchell Trent
and Tyler Rice will be
leading this team this year,”
said Reith. “They are both
seniors and veterans, and
they know what it takes.”
Practices are starting to
be more regular for the
runners, but that doesn’t
mean they haven’t been
working hard in the
off-season.
“I think overall we look
really good this year, the
boys have been practicing
on their own time and it
shows,” said Reith. “We’re
looking better than we
were last year, so I think
we are doing really well,
and I’m looking forward to
seeing what the team can
do once the season starts.

As summer comes to a close,

Central band as well.
The Knox Central band has
been filling the empty halls of

Band Camp has been going on

Barbourville guards
named All-Star Team
in West Virginia
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Barbourville City School 8th grade guard Abbagail Smith, junior guard Jordyn Smith and
Sophomore forward Anna Daniels, were recently named to the West Virginia State University Shootout All-Star Team.
The Lady Tigers competed in the shootout on June 22 and 23 against a variety of teams
from West Virginia. Barbourville was one of two teams (along with Bullit East) representing the state of Kentucky in the summer panorama, which was held on the campus of West
Virginia State University.
All three are returning starters from last year’s Lady Tigers squad.
BAND
FROM PAGE 1B
“The kids are ahead of the
curb right now as far as reading
the music, and it’s sounding
pretty good,” said Darrell Dixon,
Band Director at KC. “What we
need to work on is memoriza-
tion, because everything has to
be memorized on the field.”
The show the band has been
working on is “Phantom of the
Opera,” and the students have
been learning it piece by piece.
“This has been our first full
week of camp, and the kids are
really sounding great. We are
taking snippets from Phantom
of the Opera, and so far we
have learned the first part,” said
Dixon. “During these few weeks,
we are going to make sure we
perfect this performance.”
Knox Central’s band has a
total of 30 students so far, and
hopefully, there will be more to
come.
“There has been a huge
improvement in the work ethic
this year,” said James Partin,
Assistant Band Director at KC.
“I’d like to see them bring home
some trophies this year. They
have the tools to do it with, and I
want to see it happen.”
The band members will have
to give it their all on and off KC’s
field as they will be competing
in four competitions this year.
“They will be competing at
North Laurel, South Laurel,
Hazard and Corbin this year,”
said Elizabeth Partin, Art Instructor. “I want to see them
grow, to take that next step
and compete at away games
and be proud of what they’re
doing.”

CORBIN HIGH STUDENTS TO START DAY 20 MIN. LATER
Cheerleaders hold fundraiser
BY DEAN MANNING
For The Mountain Advocate
The majority of Corbin High
School students will begin the
school day about 20 minutes
later and, as a result dismiss
later in the day.
The change, which calls
for first period to begin at
8:30 a.m. and for school to
dismiss at 3:25 p.m., was
made in order to accommodate the new “zero hour.”
Assistant Superintendent
Dave Cox said the change
was necessary for the zero
hour classes to have sufficient classroom time.
The zero hour begins at
7:30 a.m. and runs 55 minutes to 8:25 a.m.
“The reason we did this
was so that we could offer
more classes,” Cox explained.
Approximately 150 out of
the 900 students enrolled at
the high school are enrolled
in a zero hour course.
“We offer some of the
required classes in the zero
hour and that frees the
students up to take electives
later in the day,” Cox said.
The change was approved
by the high school’s site
based decision-making council and the school board.
While the zero hour will
begin at 7:30 a.m., Cox said
it will not affect students
who don’t have a class until
first period.
The doors at the high
school will, once again,
open at 7 a.m., with breakfast available.
Separate buses run for
high school students.
Cox said the bus routes
will run about 25 minutes
later than previous years.
“We will be sending an “allcall” out to students to notify
them of the change,” Cox said.
Parents who pick up
students at multiple schools
are advised to put the high
school pickup at the end of
the route to account for the
time change.
The other schools will
continue to dismiss at 2:45
p.m.
The first day of school is
August 10.

A classic signature LAHC - The Beginning
dessert for summer
August is the Sunday of
Summer. I have always
heard that time flies. This
is certainly true. Only yesterday it seems, I was
young and carefree cruising Knox Street on long
summer
nights.
Now
when I cruise downtown,
it’s in a rush to my job. And
hopefully someday, a long
time from now, I’ll make
one last cruise from my
quaint, little hometown to
my final resting place.
This time of year makes
me think of how brief time
is. My husband’s family
has their annual meeting on the hill gathered
along the hillside of Cole’s
Branch Cemetary. It’s
nice to see familiar faces,
and of course, gather to
sing old hymns and hear
preaching while nestled
under tall oak trees, and
remembering those who
are no longer with us. Just
the drive there fills me
with nostalgia.
The old barns, gardens
full of corn, and an old
country church around every curve, some still with
outhouses sitting along
Confessions
of a Baking
Queen
Kristy Dean Cole
the creek bank. I even
snuck out of one of those
churches once, just to
throw rocks at one while
my oldest sister snuck inside to smoke.
What a great time of fellowship with friends and
family. Did I mention there
is food? Glorious tables full
of treasures from the garden, gobs of fried chicken
and dumplings, enough
deviled eggs for an army,
and the desserts, there are
no words.
My mother-in-law, Viola Cole, goes all out. She
cooks like it may be the
last supper. This recipe
is her signature dessert,
especially in the summer
when you don’t want to get
the house hot from using
the oven. I hope you enjoy, and maybe I’ll see you
there Sunday! Email me

Cole’s Graham Cracker Delight
Ingredients
•
3 pkgs of graham crackers
•
4 (3.4 oz) pkgs of instant
vanilla pudding
•
2 tbsp. sour cream
•
16 oz. frozen whipped topping (thawed)
•
Half cup of chocolate
frosting
Directions:
1. Prepare instant pudding
mix as directed on box.
Leave off 1 cup of milk
when preparing for thicker
consistency if desired.
Once mixed, allow it to set
up a few minutes until thick.
Combine whipped topping
and sour cream to mixture; mix well. In a 9x13
pan, layer the bottom with
graham crackers. Spread
layer of pudding mixture,
followed by another layer
of graham crackers, and
repeat. At the end, make
sure the graham crackers
are the top layer. Take dollop of chocolate frosting
and microwave 10 seconds
or until thinned and drizzle
on top of graham crackers.
Refrigerate overnight.
It was August 1958 when I
first came to Stinking Creek.
Dr. Schaeffer of the Red Bird
Mission brought Peggy and
me over the hill from Jim Luellans store on Straight Creek
to look over the area. He was
hoping to sell us on coming
to Stinking Creek for Peggy to
do her midwifery practice.
So, we came over the hill
to Lee Hopkins and the Alex
Creek school. We ventured
on down to the Taylor school
at the junction of Alex Creek
and Big Creek.
Peggy knew what work
she wanted to do—deliver
babies in the homes. We
started in that area, as quite
a few people from the top of
Stinking Creek were accustomed to traveling over the
hill to the Red Bird Hospital.
Since there were plans to
move the hospital on down
the Red Bird river about seven miles, that would make it
almost impossible for people
to get those services, especially midwifery services.
The next step was to find
a county school where Irma
could teach to earn a living
for the combination education and medical center they
named Lend-A-Hand Center.
It just seemed that Alex
Creek School, with its twenty-some students, would be a
good match.
Stinking Creek
News
Irma Gall
Lend-A-Hand Center
It took some doing to get
Superintendent Lay to give
me the job at that school.
That task accomplished,
we had to find somewhere
to live within horseback
distance, since that was my
mode of transportation.
So, one hot dusty day we
started at Alex Creek down
Big Creek, hunting for a place
that could accommodate the
two of us, a clinic for Peggy
and a barn for the horse.
What we remember most
about that day was the heat,
the very dusty narrow road
and the people we met as
we inquired about places to
locate.
The people at the Mills post
office and store were friendly, but did not know of any
suitable place. We traveled
slowly, asking people along
the way, and no one could
think of any place except an
old two-room cabin a ways
up above the Shady School
on Trace Branch. The summer sun was beginning to
sneak behind the mountain
and we were tired, dusty and
discouraged. We had been
warned by people at Red
Bird Mission that “foreigners”
were not always welcomed.
Now we were eight miles
from the Alex Creek School,
which would be quite a
horseback ride on cold
wintry days. Then Peggy
spotted a house down in the
bottom with weeds growing all around—weeds that
towered up to the porch roof.
There was a walking path
down the hill, a log bridge
over the creek, a path up the
branch which came out in
front of a two story, six room
house.
We made a path to the
house, and we knew right
away why it was empty.
There was a good coating
of muddy sand from the ‘57
flood.
We walked on up the path
that led us to Charlie and
Lucy Kinningham’s home.
They had lived at Red Bird
Mission and gave us a big
welcome. Lucy even said
it could be an answer to
prayer. In spite of the house
being in very poor condition,
we were ready to make it
our Center.
There were many challenges to be overcome, but
we felt God’s leading. And
there are many interesting
stories how we turned that
flooded house and place into
Lend-A-Hand Center.
Students are the best teachers!

straight for the magazine
rack.... “Wead! Wead!
Mamaw, I wanna wead!” My
teacher indicator began to
“Ping!” “Ping!” It alerted me
to the fact that this child has
been read to. He opened
the pages and held the book
upside down. “Ping!” “Ping!”
He has not learned the
directional face of the book,
but he was calling out letters,
“I....S...E..T” This let me
know someone had worked
with him on his letters even
though he didn’t know his
sounds yet. I noticed he
could point his finger from
left to right which is accurate
reading direction. All of a
sudden this little fellow began to count to ten! Excitedly
I thought, “OK, someone has
worked with him on numbers too!”
When I could stand it no
longer, I asked the grand-
Hidden Pictures
mother, “Is he three years
old?” She smiled with pride,
“No, he’s just two.” I complimented, “He does extremely
well for a two year old!
Back in the kindergarten
classroom, when your child
enters, the first thing the
teacher will do... on day two,
is to test each student to see
what they already know. This
gives teachers a starting point
for teaching. The students will
be asked to count and write
numbers as far as possible.
They will be asked to identify
the letters and letter sounds.
In addition, they will be given
a book and tested to see
whether they know the front
of a book, the back, the spine,
left to right reading direction
and the difference between
letters and numbers. You
should get a copy of these
tests so that you will know
what to practice at home.
Kindergarteners are not expected to know these things,
but sometimes they do. Again,
they are just tested to get an
idea of where to start teaching your child. Be sure these
tests are NOT used for grading
purposes.
I’m so excited for the year
to begin and new lessons
we’ll learn.... Students are
the best teachers!
