CHIEF: DRUG FIGHT ‘EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK’ BY BOBBIE POYNTER Editor BPD Chief Winston Tye Barbourville Police Chief Winston says his officers are fighting the war on drugs in Barbourville every day of the week.

Games, Entertainment, Door Prizes 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.

Equal Opportunity Employer 4A n Thursday, August 6, 2015 n THE MOUNTAIN ADVOCATE 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- From the Publisher Jay Nolan [email protected] 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?

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.

MSU is an affirmative action, equal opportunity, educational institution. 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. Ketchen School Reunion Saturday, September 5, 2015 at Ketchen School Building, Bryants Store, Ky.

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.

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.” Business Card Size $15.00 per week* Double it for $30.00 per week!* CHECK E-mail your ad requests to [email protected] DEADLINES Phone (606) 546-9225 Fax (606) 546-3175 No Later Than Monday at 12:00 p.m. ROCK • GRAVEL • TOP SOIL • MISC INSURANCE - FINANCIAL SERVICES HAIRHOME SALONSALES MOBILE SEND US YOUR BIRTHDAYS, WEDDINGS AND ANNIVERSARIES!

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. PHOTO SUBMITTED Barbourville Middle School's cheerleaders held a fundraiser recently at Dairy Queen.

Thursday, August 6, 2015 n THE MOUNTAIN ADVOCATE n 6B 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 your recipes kdcole1120@ gmail.com 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! Regina Bargo 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! Crossword Solution Crossword Solution Tales from the Classroom © Feature Exchange Teachers are teacher minded inside and outside of class. We sometimes forget, and tell our kids to line up at home. We tell them to use their inside voices. We even take away their recess sometimes!
