APRIL IS CHILD ABUSE
PREVENTION MONTH
In 1983, Congress declared April to be National Child Abuse Prevention Month.
Since that time, communities across the country have taken the opportunity to raise
awareness of issues surrounding child maltreatment and abuse. April is a time to
look back, to acknowledge the children who have suffered and the losses sustained
throughout our communities because of that suffering. But it is also a time to look
forward - most of all to a time when children no longer have to live in fear.
Child abuse victims are more likely
to exhibit anti-social behaviors,
including borderline personality
disorders and violent behavior.
Ben H. Hensley D.M.D., P.S.C.
8IJUF4Ut.BODIFTUFS,:
1 in 10 children suffer from child
maltreatment. 1 in 16 children suffer from
sexual abuse. Nearly 1 in 10 children are
witnesses to family violence.

HANDS is a free, voluntary, home visitation program provided by your local health
department. Any expectant parent or parent of a child less than 90 days old can enroll
in the program and they will remain on the program until the child is 2 years old.
Scientific studies have shown that trained home visitors can improve infant mortality
rates and help children do better in school. They also prove to be a powerful weapon
against child abuse. Being a parent can be overwhelming at times but with training
families can learn how to manage stress, discipline effectively,
become better at managing anger, develop healthy coping
skills, and use a support system. Let’s face it, every parent
could use a second pair of HANDS! For more information

OMA BYRD DIES DOING
WHAT SHE LOVED
Tragedy struck a Saddler Branch family Thursday as
they lost a loved one in a yard mowing accident.
Oma Byrd, 63, was well-known for her love of mowing her yard. Thursday was her first day this year on
her John Deere mower.
Mrs. Byrd apparently got too close to a small ditch
and the lawn mower overturned.

City to hold special
meeting Thursday
to discuss moves
The April Manchester
City Council meeting was
highlighted by a presentation on the Relay for Life
and ended with a call for a
special meeting Thursday
to discuss the new City
Hall and Fire Department
with the zoning and planning committee.
A legal question has
been raised about the
amount of time is required
for the city to change the
zoning of the area were the
new Fire Department is to
be located.
Is it hoped the process
can move forward quickly
so the Fire Department
will not be left without a
home while the new building is being built.
The Relay for life will
be held from noon till midnight on Friday June 3.
During 2015 92 Clay
County residents stayed in
the Hope Lodge in Lexington due to going for cancer
treatments and office
visits. This is just one of
the many things funded by
the Relay.
It is estimated that
over 200 county residents
have cancer. Sunday is the
American Cancer Society
Day of prayer and every0ne is encouraged to wear
purple to church.

The Trail Town event
brought in over 1000
people and paid the city
over $4000.00 for the use
of Y-Holler. Many of the
council members attended
the event and gave good
reports.
Many of the specta-
tors were from out of state
and are making plans to
return. Some area businesses reported they had
to call in extra help to
accommodate the large
number of people. The
only complaint was some
locals took advantage of
the event to use the East
Manchester streets illegally.
The council gave Assistant Police Chief and
Mayor James Garrison the
authorization to purchase
and place door seals to
identify city vehicles. It
is hoped this will help
residents to identify city
workers and insure city
vehicles are being used for
city business.

Two charged with
serious sex crimes
Two Clay County men have been
charged with very serious sex crimes
against children under the age of twelve.
Kentucky State Police (KSP) Trooper
Jake Roberts arrested both Terry L.
Henson and Russell L. Bowling Friday
on warrants issued by the Clay County
grand jury.
Henson, age 50, of Grannys Branch
Road (Manchester), was indicted on the
following charges: sexual abuse (first
degree); rape (first degree) and sodomy
(first degree0.
According to the indictment, Henson touched two males under the age of
twelve on their genitals and engaged in
anal sex with them numerous times in
2013. He is also charged with touching
the genitals of a female under the age of
twelve and engaging in sexual intercourse
and anal sex with her on numerous occasions in 2013.
KSP Detective Justin Oliver investigated the Henson case.
Bowling, age 41, of HWY 687 (Manchester), was indicted for: sexual abuse
(first degree) (two counts); criminal
abuse (first degree) and sodomy.
According to the indictment on Bowl-
Terry Henson
Russell Bowling
ing squeezed the breasts (2010), rubbed
the vagina (2011) (2012) and performed
anal sex (2011) upon a person less than
twelve years of age. He is also charged
with throwing a child less than twelve
onto a bed in May of 2014.
KSP Detective Nick Metcalf investigated the Bowling case.
Another person was charged in the
Bowling indictment. Amy M. Stewart, age
33, was indicted on the following charges:
criminal conspiracy to commit sexual
abuse and unlawful transaction with a
minor (two counts).
According to the indictment she
aided Bowling when he committed sexual
abuse of a person less than twelve in
2012. She is also charged with providing
alcohol and Xanax to a person under the
age of twelve.
Manchester Memorial Hospital
Participates in Disaster Drill
More than 150 emergency
management personnel, volunteers and hospital staff took part
in a mock disaster drill on 13th
April 2016. The drill was to test
whether Emergency Department
doctors, nurses and other staff
were ready for a real calamity in
Clay County.
The drill, which was staged
by the Clay County Emergency
Management in collaboration
with the University of Tennessee,
focused on response plans for an
actual crisis, which could trigger
a sudden flood of patients who
are injured or suffering from an
unexpected disaster.
Normal Emergency Department (ED) operations were not
affected by the drill. Directors of
the exercise had the authority to
cancel the drill at any time if they
believed it was interfering with
patient care needs in the hospital.
The scenario for the April
13th drill was a flooding at Red
Bird Mission. During the drill,
mock patients were transferred
by ambulances to the Manchester
Memorial Hospital’s Emergency
Department in Manchester, Clay
County. Approximately 15 volunteers, playing roles as patients,
were involved in the exercise.
More than a dozen hospital
departments participated in the
drill, including the emergency
department, surgery, med-surg,
radiology, OB, patient access,
security and marketing.
Taking steps to organize a
plan of action is crucial when
responding to these situations.
Cooperation within the community proves to be the most
effective means of preventing
an event from escalating into
discord and panic. This drill not
only created greater awareness
amongst the various agencies/facilities involved, but also helped
them update their plan to create
a safer, more prepared environment.

Getting Time to
Hunt Dry Land Fish
Well folks we sure have had
sunny and pretty weather the
last few days and I’m so glad that
its warmed up. It’s time to plant
CLAY
corn now. Me and the grandboy
LAWSON planted some more onions this
week. He likes it out in the garden
and we got a mess of polk salad and me and him looked over
our strawberry patch and they are blooming like crazy. He likes
to eat them out of the patch. He gathers the eggs every day. I’m
teaching him how to raise a garden and things to do here on the
farm. He likes to be with me on the tractor out on the farm. He is
so smart.
It’s getting time to hunt dry land fish, some people call them
hickory chickens, they are good.
A question, what is our country coming to? On T.V. they are
asking people to donate $19 dollars a month to help our vets.
UPPER HORSE
CREEK
HAPPENINGS
It’s a shame that they have to ask for money when the USA gives
millions of dollars to other countries and don’t help our vets. The
saying is “Help our own before we give millions to other countries.” It is a disgrace from my point of view. We need people in
the White House to help our own first. Our vets shouldn’t have
to ask for help. It’s the people in Washington place to provide
for our vets. They went to battle for us. As I’ve said before “It’s a
shame and disgrace that some have to wait a month before they
can see a doctor.” Something is wrong, what is our country coming to? I believe telling like I see it. Too much white wash going
on. It will wash off. Who can you trust today? Not many people.
Happy Birthday wishes go out this week to Kenny and Mollie Smith also Brittany Jones so may God bless you all to have
many more. Pray for all the sick and the ones in the hospitals
and nursing homes and for all that have lost a loved one.
May God bless you all and may he always hold you in his
hands.
THE FORUM
How serious of an illness should you have to call EMS?
One thing I’ve not missed about the
newspaper business during my nearly eight
years away is the abuse I see of our county
ambulance service.
For the first time, in our lifetime, we have
the best trained, most equipped emergency
management services we’ve ever had, but
due to some’s abuse, will they be available
when we really need them?
In the last few weeks I’ve been closely
listening to the scanner and some of the
calls they receive, in one sense it’s entertaining, but realistically these people are
taking advantage and putting others at risk.
Let me explain.
I’m going to give you some scenarios and
let’s see if this sounds like a situation that
our citizens should have called EMS for, this
is dispatch talking to the EMS...

Anyway, here’s another true story...’Got lazy to find a way to the emergency room.
& Point
TOPIC:
Should the county/city
impose a recreation tax to
help fund tourism projects?
Read my lips:
‘NO NEW TAXES’
Funding is needed for
tourism growth!
Those were the famous, or infamous, words of Republican Presidential Nominee George Bush, Sr. in 1988 .
A Democrat controlled congress pushed through tax
increases anyway so those words seriously came back
to haunt him and his bid four years later for re-election.
Our county needs a boost of tourism, no doubt about
that. But, it shouldn’t come at the burden of its tax
payers.
This question is about an issue of taxing things like
fast-food to help generate money for tourism.
I see the point completely, but should our every day
citizens have to burden higher costs?
It seems everything is already at a higher price in
Manchester/Clay County, why add more fuel to the fire?
Could the occupational tax money be used to help
do this? Maybe coal severance tax money? Yes, I
understand both of those are county controlled issues
and not the city.
Who say’s things constructed for tourism has to be
located inside the city limits? We’ve got plenty of opportunities in various areas of the county for tourism
expansion.
But, a plan needs to be drawn out. With both the
city and county government in complete agreement
on the direction it should take.
We need a series of meetings
with representatives from
both government entities,
various organizations such as
Stay in Clay, Trail Town etc.
and come up with a plan on
how to use tourism to make
our city and county grow.
Without direction we will
be lost.
Tourism is great, but lets get
a plan together first.
Obviously nobody likes taxes. I mean really who
does? The point here is our city and county needs
revenue to expand tourism. Without revenue its dead
in the water.
A recreation tax placed on things like fast-food hits
everyone. Employed, unemployed, welfare you name
it. Practically everyone, including people that are not
residents, will be participating in something that will
bring potentially thousands of dollars to help keep
our county alive.
Yes the details of where the money goes, how is
administered all have to be worked out. I agree with
the fact a meeting needs to be held to plan out the future of tourism with our city and county governments
working together with a common goal.
But, without proper funding, the issue is dead in
the water.
Right now other towns are creating tourism opportunities while we sit back and talk about creating
them. It’s time to act. We can’t let this window of
opportunity pass us by.
We need investors. People willing to invest in our
community and its potential.
This county has an opportunity to draw in thousands
of dollars in recreation.
We need a tax to help fund
this. You’re talking about
maybe a dollar added on to a
meal at the most. That would
vary based on the percentage
passed.
Regardless, this is something
that we can see a direct return
on and the future of our county
depends on the creation of job
opportunities.
Right now is the time we need
to create a vision and plan, and
we need funding to make these
things happen!
“Lack of direction, not lack
of time, is the problem. We all
have twenty-four hour days.”
― Zig Ziglar
To have large events like last month’s Backwoodz Bounty, some say a recreation
tax is what is needed to help tourism expand.

I wish a fee could be imposed on those
that abuse the system, but obviously it cannot happen.
One day last week, the EMS was on so
many calls at the same time, that dispatch
had to use a fire department to respond to
a situation at Goose Rock Post Office.
I don’t know the scenario of the other
EMS runs, but this got me thinking. What
if we had something serious, a car wreck, a
heart attack, things of that nature and these
‘citizens’ for the lack of a better word, have
our EMS tied up on crazy calls while serious
one’s are having to wait?
These people are going to cause somebody
to possibly die with their foolishness. I
applaud you EMS for handling yourself
professionally in the line of duty, because
I don’t know if I could do that.

Economic
Development
Economic Development is a
phrase that is thrown around very
often, especially during the political
season. Here in Clay County and all
of Eastern Kentucky we hear that
term more than we really want to,
not because we have a problem with
economic development, but because
we need so much and the process
to achieve it
seems to be so
slow.
We are always looking
for the “big
one” that will
employ hundreds or even
thousands.
The probJIM
lem with that
WILSON
thinking is we
-Editor
seem to miss
the opportunities to look
at the true driver of the economy,
the small business.
Even back when coal was king here
in the mountains, the economy got a
major boost from the small business,
which was able to support the coal
driven economy.
In the absence of the “big one”
these small business owners became
the driver of economic development.
If you study history you will find
that even from the time of ancient
Babylon and the Silk Road the small
businesspersons flourished.
We have an organization here in
our town and county that is designed
to help and support the small business and the economic development of our county, the Chamber
of Commerce.
The Chamber meets each month

911, MPD ‘mooned’
A Manchester man was jailed after he stopped traffic in
downtown Manchester to “moon” the 911 dispatch. Clinton
Sizemore, Jr., age 24, of Manchester was captured on the 911
cameras as he stopped his black pickup in heavy traffic, narrowly avoiding a rear end collision.
Sizemore then got out of the driver’s seat and came to the
back of the truck, pulled down his pants, turned his backside,
exposing himself to the 911 crew and the camera.
Clinton Sizemore Jr.
He then got back in his truck and headed south on US 421.
Manchester Police Officer Jason Combs was in the 911 center at the time and quickly
ran to his cruiser. As he was pulling out from the center, Sizemore came back in front
of the 911 building heading north on US 421.
After a short chase he stopped and was arrested and taken to the Clay County Detention Center. When asked why he “mooned” the police, he said he did not know.
He is charged with: disorderly conduct (first degree); indecent exposure (first
degree) (third offense) and reckless driving.
Everyone welcome to attend.
How many employees say they’d
work harder if their boss said “thank
you”. 81% would.
To paint around a window or mirror you can leave spots of paint on the
glass that is difficult to scrape off. Before
you paint use a cotton swab to spread a
thick layer of petroleum jelly onto the
glass where it meets the frame. paint
won’t penetrate the jelly, so glass surfaces
remain paint-free. Once the paint is dry,
simply wash the jelly off with soap and
water.
If you misplaced the tiny caps that
comes on superglue and caulk, replace
it with a screw. regular screws fit in the
small nozzle opening to form a tight seal.
Smile, God loves you.
Love, Kathleen

Martins Creek Memories
Party Line Telephone
Do you remember when the telephone was a party
line? Three or four people shared the same telephone
line. You had to see if someone else was already on the
line before you dialed the number. When there was, the
other person would say, “The line’s busy, please.” “I’m
sorry I didn’t know someone was on the line.” Would be
your regular reply. You could always tell when someone
was listening in but in the event of an emergency, people
were kind enough to give up the line.
Telephone numbers in Clay County use to start with
LY8- then the other four numbers. For instance, businesses like Manchester Drug in 1962 had the following
telephone numbers, LY8-2171, Manchester Sales and
Service number was LY8-3201.
Once all the prefixes were 598. When you told
someone your phone number back then you could just
tell them the last four numbers. Now in Clay County we
have 598, 599, 596, 594, cell phones with the 813 and
other prefixes.
Telephone conversations were once private. Now
anywhere a cell phone rings, restaurants, doctor offices,
grocery stores, public bathroom, you have to listen to
other people’s business and most people speak too loud
as if they are not even talking on a phone.
Cell phones do ring in the wrong places. Surely,
they’re times when a cell phone can be turned off.

Byrd dies in tragic accident
Oma Byrd died when this John Deere LA 105 tractor she was
driving turned over.
Family and friends of Oma
Mae Byrd, age 63, gathered
together at Rominger Funeral
Home Sunday to remember the
life of the Saddler Road woman.
Clay County Coroner Danny
Finley reports Byrd died at the
scene after a lawnmower accident Thursday evening at her
home in northern Clay County.
She lost control of her riding
mower while mowing and rolled
over a small embankment.
Byrd apparently approached
Oma Mae Byrd
too close to the embankment
causing the mower to overturn. The John Deere LA 105 tractor came to rest in the creek next to the roadway.
Responding to the scene was former EMS Director Kenny
Price, Oneida Fire Department, Clay County EMS, and the
Clay County Coroner.
Family members state mowing was one of the things
Mrs. Byrd loved to do and this was her first time doing that
this year.
She was buried in the Fellowship Cemetery in Lebanon,
Ohio.

ROGER
HOSKINS
Another week come
and already passed us by,
but the weather has sure
been good to us this week.
We are beginning to see
springtime in Clay County,
as this weather is nice you
all know what that means,
yep higher gas prices and
we have seen them jump
up sometimes we just can’t
win.
With all this warm
weather brings out more
cautions and dangers with
driving, and more children
playing near roadways
and streets. We know that
they are not supposed
too but kids don’t always
remember the dangers and
sometimes they don’t listen. You (the driver) has to
do is slow down stay sober
and pay attention.
Think about this,
could you live with yourself hurting a child for just
playing? It happens folks.
I’m just trying to save our
children. They are the
ones who will keep this
place going, they are our
future and we need them.
One more thing once
again is this tourism thing
that Clay County is talking about. I have wrote
about the trash problem
many times but yet it’s
still here and everyone
wants to bring money here
but there’s one problem
that’s not fixed. First thing
people see is trash as soon
as they get off the exit.
Tourists don’t like trash.
You can say I don’t
know what I’m talking
about, but the trash problem is here because there’s
no money for picking it up.
We want money to come
pouring in from tourism.
It’s hard for me to get behind tourism when trash
is all over this county and
nobody cares. How do I
know nobody cares?
How about that city
truck that picks up card
board boxes and it’s never
covered to keep them in.
I’ve been behind it myself
and boxes blowing out and
they never look back to
pick it up. If your going to
pick up trash make sure
you not scattering it over
the roads.
I’m sure I’m not the
only person seeing this. I
know I’m not cause people
have ask me to put this in
my column.
Shout out goes to Yholler Backwoodz Bounty
for their first tourism
attempt. It was a success.
Things like this will bring
in people from all over, so
keep doing it and you all
might just bring something good here. Also to
the guys on Woods Creek
Lake I ran into my first
time out this year, I said I
would put you all in here
so I did and I appreciate
your help last year, we
shall talk more next time
I’m out there which won’t
be long.
Friends don’t drink/
drug and drive; stay alive.
For all that’s in nursing
homes and hospitals, you
all are in my prayer. If
your are able I would like
to invite everyone to Manchester Church of God in
East Manchester Wednesday night at 7 pm and Sunday starting at 10:45 am
and again at 6 pm. Hope
to see you there soon.
God bless you all that
read my column. You can
call me at 606.813.2071
or email me at [email protected].
Until next week my friends
love you all.

“We want justice done” said Angela Smith’s sister Donna Fryman when discussing the search for her sister.
Police, with the assistance of the Clay County Road Crew
conducted a search of a lot that contained a burned trailer in
Little Creek last week looking for a possible missing person.
Nothing was found.
“We want our sister found.” said Fryman, “We know that
someone knows what’s happened to her.”
On Sunday, March 27, 2016 at approximately 11:15 PM,
Kentucky State Police Post 11, London received a call of a
missing person. Upon arrival, Trooper Josh Wilson learned
Angela K Smith
that Angela K. Smith, 30, of Manchester had last been seen
at her residence on Little Creek Road on Saturday, March 12, 2016.
Further investigation revealed that no one has seen or spoken to her since that day.
KSP says Angela’s boyfriend has been interviewed several times.
Fryman says she grew worried when no one in her family heard from Angela on
Easter Day. She is 5’5″ and around 130 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes.
Family members have put up hundreds of missing person fliers around the Big
Creek Community hoping to find some answers to her sister’s whereabouts.
Smith has been entered into NCIC as a missing person. Anyone with any information into her disappearance is asked to contact Kentucky State Police Post 11 at 606878-6622 or 1-800-222-5555.
The investigation is continuing by Trooper Josh Wilson.

‘CHIP’ LEADS UK IN SEC TOURNEY
North escapes
with victory
Tigers lose 4-2, but show they can compete with
the 13th region’s best team on any day
TYLER ‘CHIP’ MCDANIEL carded a -1 under par 69 en route to finishing in second place overall on the individual leaderbord
at the SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP.
THE LEGEND
CONTINUES
Tyler ‘Chip’ McDaniel adds to his golf legacy by
finishing second at SEC Championship
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – Sophomore
Tyler “Chip” McDaniel carded a 1-under
par 69 en route to finishing in second place
overall on the individual leaderboard at the
Southeastern Conference Championship on
Sunday. McDaniel helped lead the Kentucky men’s golf team to its best finish at
the league tournament since 2012 with his
second-place finish.
It is the best finish for a Kentucky player
and best for a sophomore since teammate
David Snyder finished in a tie for fifth in
2014 during his sophomore campaign.
Kentucky closed out the SEC Championship in seventh place, the best for a
UK team since the 2012 team also placed
seventh.
The Wildcats fielded one of the youngest
teams with three players making just their
second starts and one playing in his first
career league title hunt. Only Snyder entered with more than two starts at the SEC
Championship this week.
Sophomore Cooper Musselman and
junior Stephen Stallings both tied for 25th
to turn in the best finishes of their career at
the conference championship.
What Head Coach Brian Craig is
Saying:
“We are super disappointed, but this
experience will play dividends for this team
going forward. We took a huge step forward
this week, and I am so proud of the guys for
their effort and attitude. I can’t wait to get
in this position again heading into the final
round.
“
“What a performance for Chip McDaniel.
He played beautiful golf all week and did an
excellent job of controlling his emotions in
a highly competitive atmosphere. He may
have fallen a couple of strokes short, but a
runner-up finish in the best golf conference
in Division I is not bad at all. He may just
earn that crown before his Wildcat career is
over.”
About the Lineup:
McDaniel was simply sensational in
his second career appearance at the SEC
Championship. His steady play resulted in a
runner-up finish following a 1-under par 69
on the final day of competition. He finished
two strokes behind the individual winner in
Georgia’s Lee McCoy.
The Manchester, Ky., native had birdies
on back-to-back holes on the fourth and
fifth to begin his round. Outside of a bogey
on the par-four 16th he was flawless for the
day. Today’s finish marked the sixth top10 finish of the season and the fifth in the
top five. He has turned in 17 par or better
rounds this season to easily lead the team.
Stallings and Musselman both improved
upon their performances on the individual
leaderboard in their second-career starts at
the league championship.
The duo placed in a tie for 25th overall
after rounds of 78 on Sunday. Stallings
posted three birdies on the afternoon including finishing his round with a birdie on
the par-four No. 18 to conclude his week in
stylish fashion.
THEY SAID IT
HE MAY HAVE FALLEN A COUPLE STROKES
SHORT, BUT A RUNNER-UP FINISH IN THE BEST
GOLF CONFERENCE IN D-1 IS NOT BAD AT ALL. HE MAY
JUST EARN THAT CROWN BEFORE HIS WILDCAT CAREER IS
OVER.”

SEC Championship.

Baseball woes continuing
By Phil Arnett
Enterprise Staff
The Clay County Tigers struggles continue as they have dropped seven of their last
eight. In their last four they lost to North
Laurel 1-0, defeated Williamsburg 7-2, lost
to Middlesboro 8-3, and lost to Somerset
4-0.
The Tigers continued their skid with a
1-0 loss to North Laurel. Both teams could
sense that this was a key game and their
defenses reflected it. Other than an early
first inning run by the Jaguars both teams
would remain scoreless throughout. Dylan
Hicks would pitch a valiant effort in the
loss. Hicks would pitch the entire game. In
his time on the mound he gave up four hits
and zero earned runs. Hicks would strike
SEE TIGER B-2
By Phil Arnett
Enterprise Staff
This past Tuesday the Tiger Softball team would have what would be their
biggest game of the season thus far, a show down with their rival, the North
Laurel Jaguars. The Tigers would get their first loss of the season 4-2.
Pitching would prove to be the dominant force in the matchup between the
two teams, Brianda Owens and Mikayla Vires from North Laurel would duel.
Neither team would seem able to get their bats going in the early innings. The
Tigers and Jaguars would only allow one hit a piece through the first three innings with neither team seeming able to separate themselves. Then in the 6th
inning the Jags would have an offensive explosion. After a single by North
Laurels Olivia Miller to bring Rebecca Riley into score and Kailin Yantz stealing home the Jaguars would take a 2-0 lead, NaTasha Colwell would then hit
a two run Home Run to
give the Jags a 4-0 lead.
The Tigers would not go
quietly. After allowing
only one runner to reach
in the top of the seventh
inning, the Tigers would
get three straight outs to
keep North Laurel from
adding to their lead.
Going into the bottom
of the seventh the Tigers
would need to score at
least four runs to prolong
the game.
With one out Maddie Frazier would come
up big, hitting a double
to left field to give the
Tigers a runner in scoring
position. Shelby Phillips would step up to the
plate next and single to
advance Frazier to third
base. Rachel Baker would
get the Tigers on the

Smith signs with Alice Lloyd
By Phil Arnett
Enterprise Staff
This past Tuesday Senior Blake
Smith signed his Letter of Intent
to continue his basketball career at
Alice Lloyd College. During his High
School career Smith accomplished
many mile stones.
He was a part of the 2012-2013 Tiger basketball team that resurrected
Clay Counties winning ways bringing the 13th Region Championship
back to Clay County for the first time
since 2001. In his sophomore season Blake would play a much larger
role for the Tigers being the teams
primary defender. Smith would draw
the assignment of every other teams
leading scorer.
The epitome of this came during
the 13th Region Tournament where
he would guard three of the Region’s
leading scorers. With major help
from Blake Smiths defense the Tigers
would never have a close game in the
tournament beating Middlesboro,
Williamsburg and Corbin by an average of 29 points per game. Again, the
Tigers would be the 2013 13th Region
Champions making Blake a 2x 13th
Region Champion. Starting in his Junior season Blake would evolve from
Defensive Stopper to Star Player.
Blake would improve his scoring
average by 8 points to become the
Tigers primary weapon on offense.
The revolution in Blake’s game would
earn him many accolades during his
Junior campaign where he would win
13th Region Player of the year, SEKC
player of the year, 1st Team AllRegion, and becoming the first Tiger
in many years to be All-State making
3rd Team All-State.
Blake would follow up his outstanding Junior Year with an even
better Senior season; again, upping
his scoring total. For a career Blake
would score 1,707 while shooting
51.3% from the field. I sat down with
Blake recently for an interview so
the readers could get an insight into
Blake’s life off the court

Walker counted 100 buffalo at mouth of Paces Creek on Goose Creek
had only the most basic supplies that could be carried
on a horse. Their supplies were meager even for the
period, almost 260 years ago. Walker made it clear that
arrangements for orderly diary writing in comfortable
dry conditions did not exist on that trip.
T
he fact that the diary was at least partly written
from memory, with no accurate maps available to
jog the memory, is indisputable. Yet, read through the
filter of modern research, the diary gives a remarkably
easy-to-follow account of the journey as the Walker
party entered the head waters of Goose Creek and
followed that stream to the mouth of Paces Creek
and the large salt lick there (where they counted over
a 100 buffalo) and on down stream to present-day
Manchester, thence to the mouth of Laurel Creek
where they apparently followed a buffalo trail across
the ridge to present-day Sexton’s Creek. From there
they crossed another ridge into present-day Owsley
and Jackson counties and made their way to the
Kentucky River, which Walker called Miley’s River.
Why, then, the reliance by otherwise conscientious
scholars on J. Stoddard Johnson’s account which had
the trek going through Laurel County instead of Clay
County? In part, it appears, because Johnson’s paper
was the only one on the subject for decades, and was so
well received by a public hungry for information about
the famous Dr. Walker that it didn’t seem necessary to
second-guess Johnson’s findings by doing actual field
research.
Not all researchers agreed with Johnson’s findings.
A list of historians and scholars who contradict him
include Dr. Charles M. Dupier, Jr. of the University of

also contradicts Johnson, indicating that Walker used
the Warrior’s Trail that led through Clay, Owsley and
Jackson counties.
The most persuasive argument for the Clay County
route is contained in a 32-page paper written in 1963
by researcher James F. Bowman, who conducted
exhaustive field research in the late 1950s and early
60s. This paper was recently discovered in the archives
of the Kentucky Historical Society in Frankfort and
describes the first known attempt to actually follow in
Dr. Walker’s footsteps along the route. Not just “part”
of it; all of it.
At the time of his research Bowman was the
head of the Social Security office in Corbin. A noted
genealogist (his family files comprise over 1400
families in the Owsley, Estill and Clay County area
and are on file at the Kentucky Historical Society)
Bowman noted a number of discrepancies in the
published accounts of the Walker trek and set out on
his own to set the record straight.
Bowman’s findings agreed with all other accounts
that had the Walker exploration party coming through
Cumberland Gap and making their way to the spot
on the Cumberland River about six miles south of
present-day Barbourville. Aided by the independent
findings of Bayless Harding, a former president of
the Kentucky Historical Society, and Knox County
historian Elmer Decker, and reinforced by numerous
weekend scouting trips, Bowman determined that
Walker made a further exploration in the countryside
around present-day Williamsburg, and west nearly to
Cumberland Falls — not as some published accounts
have it, the Rockcastle River near the Hazel Patch
area. And when it came time to return to Virginia, the
Walker party headed straight for Goose Creek, not to
the Rockcastle, Bowman determined.
K
ey to Bowman’s thesis is the fact that the Walker
party was following the well-known Warrior’s
Path from Cumberland Gap, a well-marked and
relatively easy-to-follow trail originally blazed by
buffalo and subsequently by Indians for possibly
hundreds of years. Walker’s real exploring occurred
when he left the Warrior’s Path in present-day Knox
County for a few days. After that short sojourn, when
