Residents help clean up after local business is lost to fire
BY BOBBIE POYNTER
Editor
Passersby stopped by throughout the
day last Wednesday to see what was being sold at the yard sale alongside Knox
Street. To their surprise, the people tromping around in the muddy grass were not
selling anything. Instead, dozens of people from the Barbourville community had
taken time out from their busy schedules
to come to the aid of one of their own.
Tuesday evening, March 10, at around
7 p.m., an electrical cord shorted out
and caught The Flower Shop at 328 Knox
Street on fire. Dozens of community
members showed up the day after the
fire to help get as much of The Flower
Shop’s undamaged vases and event pieces cleaned quickly so the business could
get moving again.
Owner Glen Farmer, though visibly upset at the loss, looked out at the people,
young and old, who had come out to help
him, and counted his blessings.
“I didn’t know how many friends I had
until today,” said Farmer. “I still can’t be-

After a grueling 110 miles and
nine days later, Curtis Penix and
Givan Fox finally made it to Knox
County and Ely Hollow Road.
The men are into their ninth
day of a 16-day hike that began
on March 10 in Kingsport, Tenn.,
historically the day Daniel Boone
headed west across the Cumberland Gap to blaze the trail for future settlers. The historic trail the
men are following is commonly
known across Knox County as
the Boone Trace. Penix is following in the footsteps of his fivetimes-great-grandfather, Joshua
Penix, who traveled across the
Boone Trace through Kentucky
to settle in Fort Boonesborough.
The men were met at the entrance to Ely Hollow Road by
Steve Valentine, Vice-President
of the Knox Historical Museum
and escorted around the loop
back to US 25E where the travelers headed north to their next
destination, Racoon Springs in
Laurel County. Tuesday night, the
men planned to rest at Shy Mug
Hollow at Hammons Gap.
“It’s great to be a part of historical event like this,” said Valentine. “It draws more and more
attention to the great historical Boone Trace.” “The Boone
Trace, which is the first-ever road
through Kentucky,” added John
Fox, who is not only Givan Fox’s
dad, the president of the Friends
of Boone Trace, and has been
following along behind the hikers in his truck since the beginning of the trip.
Tommy Winkler’s family owns
about 90 acres in Flat Lick, about
a mile of which runs through the
Boone Trace. Winkler felt he had
to come out and meet the travelSEE WARRIORS, PAGE 3A
rists in the area, so Farmer was touched
by the outpouring of support from his
competitors.
“I’ve received well-wishes and offers
of support from Judy Hammons at Hammons Flowers, Sheila Broughton at Knox
Florist, and even Joyce Croley from Off
the Creek Florist,” he said. “That tells you
just what a tight community this is.”
Unfortunately for Glen Farmer, he was
renting The Flower Shop’s building, and
he did not have renters insurance, so
replacing his vast inventory will have to
come out of pocket.
“I can do it,” he said. “I came down
here over three years ago with a few rolls
of ribbons and $200 in my pocket. Thank
God I’m in better shape than that now.”
Temporarily, The Flower Shop will be
doing business out of the building next
door at 330 Knox Street. The business
phone number will remain the same at
627-5054.
“This will not slow me down,” said
Farmer. “I’ve got an event at Union SatSEE LOSS, PAGE 3A

Former sheriff’s tax Fire destroys
audit complete
Corbin home
BY BOBBIE POYNTER
Editor
Kentucky State Auditor Adam H.
Edelen, has completed the final
tax audit of the former Knox County Sheriff John Pickard’s Department for the period April 16, 2013
through April 16, 2014.
The former sheriff and his staff
have plenty of reasons to be proud
of their administration.
According to the audit, “no instances of noncompliance or other matters were reported.”
The report also said the sheriff ’s
settlement presents fairly the taxes
charged, credited and paid for the
period listed.
The report states the sheriff collected taxes of $8,649,366 for the
districts for 2013 taxes, retaining
commissions of $355,416 to operate the sheriff ’s office. The sheriff
distributed taxes of $8,283,118 to
the districts for 2013 taxes. Taxes
of $4 are due to the districts from
the Sheriff and refunds of $2,248
are due to the Sheriff from the taxing districts.
Besides no instances of noncompliance, the auditor also noted there were “no matters involv-
ing
internal control over financial
reporting and its operation that
were considered to be material
weaknesses.”
Edelen stated that based upon
the audit work performed, the
Knox County Sheriff ’s financial
statement is presented fairly in all
material respects.

A Corbin family was awakened early Saturday morning to
the sight of their home going up
in flames.
Corbin
firefighters
were
called to the home occupied by
Billy Henson and his family at
the corner of Barbourville and
Hamblin Street about 12:30 a.m.
The parents and two young
girls were able to escape from
the home. However, they have
lost all of their personal possessions in the blaze, including two
pet snakes.
Firefighters reported that
when they arrived on scene,
they could see flames coming
from the two back windows
and the door.
Firefighters knocked down
the flames at the door and made
entry to tackle the blaze in the
kitchen and interior rooms.
Firefighters reported a second fire breaking out in the attic space. Holes were cut in the
roof to get at the flames.

Union College to host online
“Transfer Madness”
BY JAY STANCIL
For the Mountain Advocate
Help is on the way for Kentucky college students interested in transferring
their credits or associate degree to a
four-year university. On Thursday, March
26, from 2 to 8 p.m., the state’s colleges
and universities will host “Transfer
Madness,” an entirely online, statewide
transfer fair where students can chat
with transfer advisors, search for scholarships, download materials and get
questions answered.
Union College will participate in the
online transfer fair and will be waiving
application fees for prospective students.
“Union College is always happy to
participate in this initiative to showcase
our educational programs and give
transferring students the spark they
need for their academic career,” said
Tim Sizemore, Assistant Director for
Undergraduate Enrollment at Union.
“Transfer Madness is a great opportunity for students looking for a change in
direction, to see all the great programs
Union has to offer and have the help
here they need to make that move.”
Students can register early for Trans-
fer Madness at www.transfermadness.
org.
Organizers hope the convenience of
an online transfer fair will boost student participation since students can
access the event from the comfort of
their home and at a time that suits their
family and work schedules.
Union College is Kentucky’s first college in the mountains. Founded in 1879,
Union College offers than 32 majors,
29 minors and nine pre-professional
programs. The campus has an undergraduate enrollment of 875 students,
mostly from Kentucky and Appalachia.
In 2014,100 percent of our students
received financial assistance to attend
Union.
You can learn more about Union College by visiting www.unionky.edu.

Strong pitching paces Union to
DH split at Bluefield in AAC action
BY JOHN GATTO
For the Mountain Advocate
BLUEFIELD, Va. - Four
players in the Union
College starting line-up
posted multiple hits, as
the Bulldogs held off a late
rally by Bluefield (Va.) to
post a 4-3 win on the road
on Monday afternoon in
Appalachian Athletic Conference play.
With the victory, the
Bulldogs captured two of
three games at Bluefield
to take the conference
series, moving to 13-5 on
the year and 5-1 in the
AAC. Bluefield fell to 9-8
overall and 2-5 in the AAC
play with the defeat.
After a scoreless first
inning in the ballgame,
Union was first to strike in
the top of the second, as
pinch runner Austin Boggs
(FR/Fairfield, Ohio) scored
on a Bluefield passed ball
to make the score 1-0.
Boggs courtesy ran for
catcher John Wilson (SR/
Manchester, Ky.), who
led the inning off with a
double.
Bluefield, however,
struck back quickly in the
bottom of the frame, plat-
ing two runs to take a 2-1
lead. The score remained
that way into the fifth inning, where the Bulldogs
tied it up. There, J.D. Burrell (SR/Amanda, Ohio)
delivered a two-out, RBI
single, scoring Justin Elder
(SR/Seven Mile, Ohio)
from second base to knot
the game up at 2-2.
In the top of the sixth,
the Bulldogs grabbed the
lead for the second time
on the day. First, Vance
Sullivan (SR/Verona, Ky.)
knocked home John Wilson on a RBI bunt single
on a squeeze play, giving
Union the edge at 3-2.
With two outs, Cameron
Brookwell (JR/Cary, N.C.)
posted a very important
RBI single, scoring Tyler
Young (JR/Manchester,
Ky.) to give Union a 4-2
lead.
That go-ahead run
was vastly important for
Union, as Bluefield made
a comeback in the later
innings.
First, in the bottom of
the eighth, the Rams hit a
leadoff solo home run off
of starter Erik Tarbell (SR/
Mecosta, Mich.), cutting
the lead down to one run,
and forcing the Bulldogs
to put reliever Nelson
Price (SR/Burkesville, Ky.)
into the game after Tarbell
recorded the first out.
Price gave up a lead-off
double to start his time
in the game in the frame,
but the tying run stayed
at second, as the Senior
retired two straight batters
to keep Union in the lead
by a run.
In the ninth, it appeared
Price would make quick
work of the Rams and
take the save, as he retired the first two batters.
However, Price then had
trouble finding the strike
zone, and eventually
loaded the bases up after
three straight walks.
But, once again, Price
found a way out the jam,
as he finally recorded the
third out on a ground out
to short, preserving the
one-run victory for the
Bulldogs.
Overall, Burrell (2-for5, RBI), Gross (2-for-4)
and Wilson (2-for-3, run
scored) all had multiple
hit games for Union.

was DH Tyler Young, who
went 2-for-3 with a run
scored.
On the mound, Tarbell
once again pitched a solid
game for Union, allowing
three runs on six hits over
seven and a third. Tarbell
struck out three, and allowed just one walk, as he
moved to 3-1 on the year
with the win. Meanwhile,
Price earned his second
save of the season in the
victory.

July 19, 1984 - February 5, 2015
Thank you is not enough. There are no words that can describe how much we
the parents of Billy Ryan Cain (our beloved son) could ever express. We so
much appreciate it in our extreme time of grief. To the family, especially the
Grandparents, we love you so much. To Billy’s brother Donovan, all the Aunts,
Uncles, Nieces, Nephews & Cousins. It was because of all of
you, we were able to stand, because you were holding us
up. To all our friends who were by our side holding our
hands, staying with us in our silence. Sharing
memories, some made us laugh and some we cried.
And fell to our knees with us in prayer. To all that
called, visited, sent cards and sent gifts; and to
those of you who even brought food to our house.
We appreciate it all. But most of all, to those of you
who loved Billy Ryan with true love in your hearts.
Billy Ryan Cain will live in our hearts forever.
Thanks is just not enough.
God Bless all of you!

Government should be more like basketball teams!
What a great year for Kentucky Basketball! As I write this
the Cats are a perfect 34-0 and
headed into the NCAA tournament ranked #1 overall. Even
if you are not a sports fan, you
have to appreciate how hard
every player and coach has
worked to do so well.
While I was watching Big
Blue battle their way to the top
of SEC tournament, a strange
idea came to me. What if our
local city, county, state and
even federal governments were
more like our basketball teams?
Here’s what I mean.
Everything the Cats do is very
visible and closely watched.
Thousands of witnesses watch
the games live, and millions
more keep up with what is
going on via the media.
Because they are doing the
basics so well, working so hard
and winning, the visibility really
helps them gain respect, attract
top talent, and develop a strong
fan base.
I think it’s fitting we celebrate
From the
Publisher
Jay Nolan
[email protected]
“Sunshine Week” the same
week we post the NCAA tournament brackets. (See page B2 for
the 2015 bracket in this week’s
newspaper.) Sunshine week
runs from March 15-21, and
celebrates the fact our state and
local governments are required
by law to be open and fully
accessible to the media, and
the public.
Like the Cats, if they are
working hard, doing the right
things well, and committed to
“winning” for voters, I can’t see
why any good government employee would want to hide their
performance. Can you?
Yet, in almost every legislative
session, there have been several different efforts to block this
“Sunshine.” Instead, of open
meetings and open records,
some agencies try to keep their
actions hidden from the press
and public. They suggest, “Let
us just post things on the web
for free.” They ask, “Why spend
your tax dollars to print it in a
newspaper?”
Well, read the brochure from
this newspaper and the Public
Notice Resource Center.
Then, make up your own
mind. Should newspapers publish public notices or not?
What do you think?

Be Prepared for Those RMDs
Making, tracking history
I've heard of getting in
on the ground floor, but
lately I seem to be getting
a really lot of ground under (and in) my feet.
No, not really. It just
seems that way.
This are just seems to
be going backward as
fast as it's going forward.
Oh, come on. You're
not making any sense.
OK. So let's start over,
shall we?
One step at a time.
Let's start by going back
first. Every time I turn
around I'm hearing (and
covering) something new
about the Boone Trace.
Believe me, I'm not
complaining. Actually,
I'm fascinated. The more
I hang around, the more

I seem to be diving in
head first.
Is that so wrong? I've
occasionally heard the
word 'fanatic' tossed out
like it's a bad thing.
Frankly, if I could lay
claim to being related to
one of the most famous
men in this country, I'd
be shouting it from the
rooftops, too.
But, alas, I don't have
that privilege. So, I don't
really mind riding on the
coat tails of those that
do.
What's so wrong with
being proud of your
heritage?
A newspaper person I
used to know said one
time that "every couple
of years the patriotic
fanatics come out . . ."
That hurt because I
happen to be one of
those patriotic fanatics,
and I can tell you, it's
not just something that
comes out once every
couple of years.

Hey, it's all about us. It's

Get off the soapbox...
Now for the moving
forward part. You may
not see it now, but some
really big things are
a'coming. Tourism and its
Action Groups are run-
ning full steam ahead on
numerous projects that
will make Barbourville
not just more exciting for
those of us that live here,
but for those that come
to visit.
I tried to nail down
some of the upcoming
projects for this edition of
the paper, but everything
still seems to be in the
negotiating stages, so,
like you, I have to be a bit
patient.
Nuts.
Also, like you, I want to
see things happen yesterday. I promise, though,
that as soon as I know,
you'll know.
So, yes, we are moving ahead, changing the
history of Barbourville as
we go.
History was never one
of my favorite subjects in
school.
Too bad. I kind of like
it now.

Plans moving ahead for new Corbin Middle School
BY DEAN MANNING
For the Mountain Advocate
With the plans for the
new Corbin Middle School
calling for a student capacity of 800, architects
met with the school board
and administrators Thursday to determine how to
break down the 99,887
square feet of floor space
that the Kentucky Department of Education allots
for a school of that size.
Kevin Cheek with Sherman, Carter Barnhart Architects, who will design
the school that will be
built on the former St. Camillus Academy property,
met with faculty and staff
members Thursday morning and with the school
board Thursday night to
prioritize the use of space.
While several things are
set in stone by KDE regulations, including the size
of the projected 24 classrooms (750 square feet),
five science classrooms
(1,000 square feet), gymnasium with a high school
size basketball court and
seating for 800 people
(to double as an assembly area for the student
body 15,670 square feet),
a cafeteria (5,130 square
feet), and a kitchen (3,250
square feet), officials began the task of eliminating items on the wish list,
including an auditorium,
indoor walking track and
additional storage space
in the classrooms in an effort to stay within the allotted space.
As a compromise on the
auditorium, 2,250 square
feet has been allocated
for a stage at one end of
the gymnasium, which is
already figured into the
space allocated for the
gymnasium.
Middle school officials
have also requested band,
art and vocal classrooms,
along with a piano lab
(850 square feet) and a
dedicated dance studio
(1,500 square feet).
However, if something
has to go, the piano lab
would be at the top of the
list.
Principal Jennifer Parsons noted if plans move
forward to incorporate
sixth grade into the new
school,
the
cafeteria
would be serving meals
from 10 a.m.-1 p.m.
Several people asked
about cutting the size of
classrooms or other area
to get below the maximum space.
Cheek reminded them
that KDE sets specifications on classrooms and
other areas.
However, Cheek said it
is possible that KDE may
approve the additional
space, given the fact that
officials have eliminated
amenities in other areas.
“They may say, ‘yes,’”
Cheek said, noting none
of the space is being used
on frivolous requests. “All
they can say is, ‘no.’”
“Make it happen,” Board
Chair Kim Croley replied.
With this list, the previous list of what the board
members, faculty, staff and
students want to see in the
building, and instructions
from the board noting on
the existing 26-acre site is
sacred, Cheek said work
may begin on conceptual
drawings of the $19 million project.
Among the decisions is
whether to incorporate
the two existing buildings
on the site, that provide

The Doctor Thomas Walker NSDAR
Chapter met on Saturday, March 14, at the
East Barbourville Baptist Church. Ladies
enjoyed a brunch of bacon and cheese
croissants, chicken salad croissants, fruit,
muffins, ham and eggs casserole, hash
brown casserole, donuts, coffee, and juices served by hostesses Evelyn Mills, Sherry Harris, Nadine Smith, Allison Swafford,
Megan Lay Smith, and Bonita Williams.
Pocahontas, portrayed by Ryleigh
Swafford, was the special guest. Member
Lisa Yeager shared information about the
‘visitor.’ Pocahontas, born in Virginia in
1595, was one of 26 children and was her
father’s, Powhatan Tribal Chief, favorite
child. Her Indian name was Princess
Motoaka. She was always a tomboy and
was known for helping the English who
settled in Jamestown in 1607 learn about
processing meat, tanning hides, and picking out medical plants. She traded Indian
food for weapons, beads, etc. to help the
Englishmen stay alive.
It was believed that Pocahontas saved
the life of Englishman John Smith by lying
on top of his body to keep him from being
killed by her fellow Indians.
In 1610, Pocahontas married one of
Chief Powhatan’s bodyguards but shortly
after divorced him. During her marriage
she had a son. In 1613 she was the first
American to be baptized. Her new American name became Rebecca. She later
married Englishman John Rolfe and had
another son, Thomas. She, her husband
John, her son Thomas, and about a dozen
Powhatans went to England where she
died at the age of twenty-one. She was
buried in England at St. George’s Cemetery where a statute of her stands today.
There is also a statute of Pocahontas in
Jamestown, Virginia, where she is known
for saving a band of Englishmen.
It is said that Pocahontas’ father died
shortly after her death due to morning
over his beloved daughter.
The DAR was honored to have not only
Pocahontas, but guests Linda Zigos and
Carolyn Dowd. The next meeting will be
on Saturday, April 11, at 10 a.m. at the
Union College Patridge Room.
KSP: Driver high while hauling
hazardous materials
Special to the Mountain Advocate
A Carrollton man was arrested Wednesday by Kentucky State Police Vehicle Enforcement for careless driving around the
10-mile marker on US 25E in Knox County.
Upon investigation officer Hunter found
43-year-old Anthony L. Holzknecht of
Carrollton in possession of marijuana and
under the influence of drugs while in operation of a commercial vehicle that was
loaded with hazardous materials.
Holzknecht was arrested on sever-
al charges including: careless driving,
dui-commercial vehicle, possession of
marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Holzknecht was lodged in the
Knox County Detention Center.
Officer Hunter continues the investigation.

to purchase the property
after the Catholic school
was closed in May 2013 after 105 years of operation.
The school system paid
$1 million for the 26 acres
of property and two buildings. As part of the agreement, the payments are
being made over a fiveyear period.
The alternative school
was moved from South
Main Street to the property at the beginning of the
current school year. When
construction on the middle school begins, the alternative school will return
to its former location.
McNeel said previously
that the school is scheduled to be opened in 2018
or early 2019.

Cheek said he will bring
drawings showing what
may be done with or without the buildings.
Without the buildings,
Cheek said previously that
there are more options because the building is not
limited to one area of the
property.
The board members
have said they are open
to using the area currently occupied by the soccer
field/walking track if that
works out to be the best
option.
Those drawings are likely to come back before the
board at the May meeting.

Laurel Sheriff ’s Detective
Jason Back arrested two
individuals Monday, March

p.m. off Slate lick Road.
The arrests were the
result of an investigation
conducted by the sheriff ’s office while deputies
were attempting to locate a
Prudie Smith
wanted individual who had
been fleeing law enforcement and who had allegedly brought a rented 2014
Jeep to the residence there
and stripped it, destroying it
in the process.
While deputies were on
scene conducting their investigations, they located
21.5 g of crystal metham-

Corbin to begin road improvements
BY DEAN MANNING
For the Mountain Advocate
With $200,000 in state
money to spend on street
repairs in the Knox County portion of Corbin, city
officials are in the process
of determining where and
how the money will be
spent.
At Monday’s meeting of
the Corbin City Commission, the commissioners
authorized Mayor Willard
McBurney to sign a memorandum of agreement
with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to receive the funds.
City Manager Marlon
Sams said the city is not
required to put up any
matching funds to receive
the money, which was
earmarked by State Rep
Jim Stewart, R- Flat Lick.
“We are working on
a street list,” Sams said,
noting the money may be
used for road improvements from repairing potholes to repaving entire
streets.
Sams noted that Master
Street, Hamblin Street and
Beatty Ave. are each part
of the state highway system and maintained by
the transportation cabinet.
“It could probably do
a lot of it,” Sams said of
needed repairs to other
streets.
The commissioners also
voted to authorize Sams to
advertise for bids.
Sams said work will
likely begin in about two
weeks.
“We have to wait for the
blacktop plants to open,”
Sams said.
In other business the
commissioners:
• Appointed Annie
Hoskins and Robbie Miller to the Corbin Public Library Board.
• Approved the dates for
the City of Corbin Spring
Cleanup.
For the East Corbin area,
the cleanup will be April
13-17.
For the remainder of the
city, the cleanup will be
April 20-24.
On those dates, Corbin
Public Works will have
two dump trucks out from
7-30-3 p.m. picking up
trash.
Residents with a large
load are encouraged to
bring items to the Corbin
City garage where there
will be no charge to dump
it during this period.
Residents who bring
items to the garage will be
required to provide proof
of residence in the city
limits.
Sams said the city will
not be taking tires because of the cost of tire
disposal.
THE MOUNTAIN ADVOCATE n Thursday, March 19, 2015 n 7A
Woman arrested US 25 Yard Sale
for shoplifting
coming soon
For the Mountain Adcovate
Deputy Larry Parrott
arrested Alicia Villarreal,
age 33, of Lily, on Monday night March 16, at
approximately 8:05 p.m.
near Walmart after she
was allegedly observed
concealing merchandise
in Walmart and fled the
scene when approached
by Walmart’s loss prevention team.
When Deputy Parrott
arrived in the vicinity he
located this subject at
a nearby business and
when she saw Deputy Parrott she took off
running. Deputy Parrott
chased her for a short
distance and caught her
in the women’s restroom
of the business, taking her
into custody.
Deputy Parrott conducted an investigation
determining that she had
apparently concealed several items from Walmart
in her underwear. While
she removed the stolen
items, Deputy Parrott
observed her take a small
plastic bag concealed in
her underwear and place
it in her mouth.
Villarreal refused to
remove the baggy from
her mouth and it had to
be physically removed.
The woman began to fight
and struggle with Deputy
Parrott and at one point
grabbed his left wrist and
would not let go. Deputy
Parrott was finally able to
subdue and restrain her.
Villarreal continued to
curse and create a disturbance.
The baggy recovered by
Deputy Parrott contained
Suboxone. The deputy
said the woman appeared
to be intoxicated and was
under the influence.
Total value of the items
shoplifted was in excess
of $539. Items included
women’s underwear,
I-pad mini, a speaker, a
phone case, Mountain
Dew, and other items.
ALICIA VILLARREAL
Alicia Villarreal was
charged with theft by
unlawful taking; fleeing
or evading police – second-degree – on foot;
public intoxication –
controlled substances;
tampering with physical
evidence; resisting arrest;
assault third-degree
– police officer is victim; disorderly conduct
– second-degree; and
possession of a controlled
substance first-degree first

and help save lives across
the country,” said Rogers who helped launch

fourth consecutive year
for the Summit and it’s
shaping up to be another

Special to the Mountain Advocate
The 2015 U 25 Yard Sale
event, will be held June
4, 5, 6, and will stretch
from Woodfin, N. C. and
Clinton, Tenn., to Covington, along US 25, US 25E
and US 25W with a few
short spur routes included. Almost every city,
village and town along
the 565-mile route participates. It’s an opportunity
for non-profits, church
and school groups to set
up shop and make some
money.
If you’d like to participate, consult local officials as to permit requirements, set up legally and
safely along or close to US
25, price it to sell and go
for it! You will have more
luck if you set up on at a
site along the main road
or use extra visible signage, because getting
these shoppers off US 25
and down a side road will
be tough. They’re on a
mission!
No use of the road rightof-way is permitted and
those who set up to sell
must control parking and
are responsible for cleanup when you are finished.
There is no charge. For
more information in Knox
County, call 545-9674 or
for general info about the
sale call 859-779-3005.
What sells? Just about
anything old or vintage
in good condition. Odd-
ities, antiques, old farm
and kitchen items, old records, tools, guns, hunting
and fishing equipment all
sell well. If you have lots
of clothing, it should not
be the focal point of the
sale.
It’s a great event for the
seller—because there are
lots of shoppers. For general information on the
route or to be included in
the “Hot Spots” list, call
859-779-3005.

For the Mountain Advocate
While basketball is the
big topic of conversation,
another local high school
team is literally gearing up
to take to the field.
The Kentucky “Wildbots,” robotics team,
made up of three students from Corbin and
six from Lynn Camp, are
in final preparations for
the team’s trip to the First
Robotics Regional Competition in Knoxville, Tenn.
April 2-4.
In past years, the Wildbots, officially known as
First Robotics Team 3844,
have designed and built
robots that shot basketballs, flung Frisbees and
catapulted beach balls.
“This 2 school system
started as a grand experiment last year on how
students from both sides
of the creek could work
together to accomplish a
complex task,” said Lynn
Camp teacher Arthur
Canada, who is advising
the team.
This year the robot will
tote totes with bonus
points awarded for toting
a stack of totes.
Canada said the team
started with an advantage,
using the chassis off of the
beach ball robot as the
basis for this year’s model.
“It wasn’t the best, but
it makes the robot move
around,” Canada said.
However, that advantage quickly disappeared
as the number of snow
days increased and the
six-week period to complete the robot ended.
The robot is now in the
bag, packed away until
the competition. The
students are now using a
substitute robot to practice
their driving skills, finetune the mechanics of a
few pieces that will transfer to the competition bot,
and develop their strategy
for the competition.
This year’s competition
is call, “Recycle Rush.”
Canada explained each
school team will be
teamed up with two other
robots during a match to
face off against another
team of three robots.
The goal is to move as
many square totes to the
scoring step, stacking
them on top of each other
to increase scoring. Adding a recycling container
on top of the totes increases the scoring even more.
In addition to the totes
and containers, there will
be pool noodles on the
field that represent trash.
Noodles placed in the
recycling containers score
points for the alliance,
while noodles flung to the
opposing side result in
points deductions for the
opposition.
A video detailing the
rules of the game may be
found online at https://
www.youtube.com/
watch?v=Uuu7oQpUuX0
During the first 15
seconds of the two-anda-half-minute match, the
robots will run autonomously. After that, the
students will step in to
run the robots by remote
control.
Unlike in past years
when points were tallied
for each school’s robot,
Canada explained it is the
average number of points
scored by its alliance
in each match a school
team participates that will
determine whether the
school team qualifies for
the finals.
“We have to fight for
every point,” Canada said,
noting experience has
taught them to make the
robot able to take advantage of every scoring
opportunity.
Along with the experience comes a tougher
pool of competition.
Canada noted that eight
states will be represented in Knoxville. Two of
the teams scheduled to
participate have already
competed in other regional tournaments and won.
Canada said as in previous years, the Wildbots
could not be making this
trip without sponsorships
and parts and manufac-

turing assistance from
businesses throughout the
area.
“We have raised in the
neighborhood of $12,000,”
Canada said, noting sponsors’ names are added to
the robot.
If the team advances
to the world finals in St.
Louis, Canada said the
quest to find local help
will begin anew.
“They came one broken
part away from winning
a bid to world finals in St
Louis,” Canada said. “This
year they are tipping on
the edge of going to world
Finals and being very
competitive there.”

Knox Central’s softball
team hosted their second
home game against Wil-
liamsburg Monday. The
panthers suffered their
second loss at home at an
ending score of 1-4.
Kristen Smith, a senior
at Knox Central, scored
the first point of the season Monday. In the third
inning, Smith made a
winning hit and managed
to make it to second base.
Cassie Hale was up to bat
next, who made a hit and
made it to first base while
Smith ran home to score.
The panthers lead 1-0
for the rest of the third
inning, until the fourth
inning when Williamsburg
scored two. The lead discouraged Knox Central as
the players quickly got out
at the end of the fourth
inning.
A change of heart began
in the sixth inning as
pitcher Hallie Gambrel
began by getting Kayla
Griffith of Williamsburg
out. Next, Williamsburg
tried to score by trying to
steal third base, but got
out quickly by Cassie Hale
to start the next half of the
sixth.

The Knox Central Panthers return to track and
field competition this upcoming Saturday, March
21st. However, the team
has been conditioning for
several months, focusing
their mental and physical capabilities toward
reaching their goals for
the coming season.
For the boys’ team,
senior and veteran athlete
Michael Lomio anticipates
that the distance squad
will have a very successful season. “We have
more depth to the team
than we’ve had in years
past,” states Lomio. The
team will rely on Mitchell
Trent, Jared Saylor, Caleb
Teague, and Zak Willis
to take charge in the two
mile relay.
For individual events,
Lomio and Saylor look to
dominate the mile, while
Lomio, Willis, Teague, and
Trent will try their hands
at the half-mile. Tyler Rice
and Matthew Williams
will test their endurance
in the two mile race.
For the sprinters, junior
Frankie Robinson looks
to a new coach and a
fresh perspective to help
the athletes achieve the
pure speed needed to win
the shorter events. Robinson commented that,

Fire on the Mountain
Cumberland Gap National Historical Park Plans for Prescribed Fire
For the Moountain Advocate
During the next three
weeks, weather permitting, Cumberland Gap
National Historical Park
will be conducting a prescribed burn in the “Hoot
Owl Hollow.” This 105
acre burn unit, in mixed
hardwood and conifer
forest, is located along
the park boundary on the
north side of the community of Arthur, TN.
“This area was last
burned in the spring of
2010 as part of the park’s
overall Fire Management Strategy to help
protect park resources
and park neighbors from
unplanned wildfires”
explains Cumberland
Gap’s Fire Module Assistant Supervisor and
veteran firefighter Sasha
Ernst. Ernst further shares
that “Prescribed burns
are small to moderate
sized fires applied under
specially controlled and
monitored conditions to
help avoid out of control
fires during the peak fire
season. They are intended to reduce the amount
of fuel (dead and downed
timber) so that any wildfire can be more easily
controlled before threatening nearby homes and
buildings. In addition,
these fires help maintain
the health of the forest by
clearing the understory
and returning nutrients
to the soil. Most of the
native species are adapted to this type of burn,
but would not survive
a catastrophic fire that
could result after years of
dead wood collecting on
the forest floor.”

Firefighters perform a controled burn at Cumberland Gap
National Historic Park.
Done properly, prescribed burns reduce the
limbs and leaf litter on the
ground that are the primary fuels for a wildfire.
At the same time, these
low-grade fires kill some
shrubs and other tree
species, leaving an open
understory underneath a
mixed hardwood forest.
This was the type of forest
that Thomas Walker and
Daniel Boone saw when
they traveled through
the area, and the type of
forest the park tries to
maintain.
Before igniting the fire
the park must wait for
the right weather which
influences the size of the
fire, how hot it will burn,
the direction the smoke
will blow, the effect upon
endangered species (like
the Indiana Brown Bat)
that may roost in the
trees, and the quality of
the experience for visitors and area residents
traveling through or near
the park.
Residents of Middlesboro may observe
smoke rising over the
Cumberland Ridge to the
south. Passers-by may
notice smoke from the
prescribed burn rising
as they drive on Hwy 63
south of the park. Cumberland Gap’s Chief
Ranger Gene Wesloh
cautions motorists who
are traveling on roadways
between the communities
of Tiprell and Arthur to be
alert to firefighters and
fire apparatus in the area,
but Wesloh expects no
disruptions to traffic flow.

really helped us focus on
explosive power in the
off-season. I think that will
pay off for all of us once
the season begins.”
Robinson will contribute to the team in the 200
and 400 meter races, and
he will be joined by Connor Phipps, Johnny Clark,
and Isaac Brooks for the
4x200 relay. Jeremy Sharp
and Tyler Rice will take
care of the hurdle races
for the team. Andrew
Johnson, a sophomore,
will participate in the 100
meter dash, and Sharp,
Clark, and Robinson will
join him for the technical
4x100 relay.
In the field events, Isaac
Brooks, a junior, will
look to excel beyond his
personal best in the pole
vault. Brooks mentioned,
“we have a lot of new
talent in the field events
this year, and the younger
athletes are all willing to
learn.” Brooks will participate in the long jump
along with Robinson; in
the triple jump, Caleb
Teague and Mitchell Trent
will handle the competition.
Dakota Lomio, Zachary Lomio, Jesse Fugate,
Isaac Brooks, Jeremy
Sharp, Lucas Lambo, and
Austin Humphries will
be participating in both
the shot put and discus
throws.
Boys’ head coach Wesley Rieth commented on
the pre-season training
thus far. “Our athletes
have worked hard since
day one, which for many
of them was back in December. They’ve been going hard every day since,
and I’m looking forward
to watching them take advantage of their hard work
in the off-season.”

With no warning other than the sun’s passing
behind a giant ominous
raincloud, the temperature
dropped several degrees as
massive rain clouds rolled
across the once bright blue
sky. I had been jumping
rope in my front yard and
ran onto the porch when
I heard thunder rumble
across the sky. As I sat
watching the clouds completely block out the sun, I
noticed large drops of rain
making dark spots causing little clouds of dust
when each one hit the dry
parched earth. After a few
minutes of a hard downpour, the rain stopped and
the sun came out as bright
as ever.
“I’ll bet there’s a rainbow
somewhere in the sky right
now,” Mother said as she
walked out on the front
porch and sat down to peel
some potatoes for supper.
“I hope so,” I said as I
ran out and began spinning around trying to see
one. Mother walked out

spotted it at the same time,
