The Whitley County Fiscal Court is hoping to become a guinea pig of sorts for a new state project that will use recycled tires in chip seal paving projects.

During a special called meeting Monday, the fiscal court approved a resolution supporting a grant appli-cation to take part in the Rubberized Chip Seal Grant program, which is being administered through the Kentucky Division of Waste Management in Frankfort.

Whitley County Projects Director Amber Owens said that the state used to pro-vide grant money through the waste tire program for rubberized mulch on play-grounds, but ceased doing

Caucus didn’t hurt turnout,

Schwartz claims

Kentucky’s Republican Presidential Caucus this past March apparently didn’t have much impact on the voter turnout for Tuesday’s Primary Election in Whitley County where about 18 percent of reg-istered voters went to the polls to cast their ballots.

“It did not. I do not think it affected it at all,” said Whitley County Clerk Kay Schwartz, whose election total results were finalized about 7:22 p.m. Tuesday less than 90 minutes after the polls closed. “I was happy with the turnout in Whitley County.”

By contrast, about 15 percent of Republican vot-ers cast ballots during the March presidential caucus.

Man survives after 50-foot fall from tree

Monday morning

A 25-year-old man is back home after surviving a 50-foot fall out of a tree Monday morning.

Jacob Beverly was working as part of a crew from Phillips Tree Experts to clear hanging branch-es around power lines off of Log Cabin Road between Canadatown and The Falls Road when he fell from the tree.

Woodbine Fire Chief Rick Fore said Beverly hit at least one branch near the bottom of the tree, break-ing his fall and likely saving his life.

To say the new Worship Pastor at Grace on the Hill United Methodist Church in Corbin has had an interesting life is an understatement.

He’s overcome a hearing disability to excel as a profes-sional musician.

He’s a second cousin to country music legends Loretta Lynn and Crystal Gayle.

He toured for seven years as a stage musician for the likes of Percy Sledge and Stella Parton, among others.

“I think that I’m here now at Grace on the Hill … it’s just a God thing,” Michael Hall said only days after start-ing his new position at the church two weeks ago.

Hall met Grace on the Hill Pastor Weyman McGuire in Paintsville. Hall said he was serving at a church there in a part-time capacity. McQuire thought he’d be a good fit in Corbin.

“I have a lot of experience in electronic media … pod-casting and broadcasting and a lot of things like that,” Hall said. “They wanted to take the church to the next level with those kinds of things. He talked to me about it and I started pursuing it and prayed about it. Apparently, through God, this is where I am sup-posed to be.”

Hall said he lost 75 percent of his hearing as a toddler. His family finally figured things out when he had trouble learning to speak. He’s never let that disability stop him musically, however. Much of his musical influence comes from his father’s side of the family. His grandmother sang

in a gospel music chorus all her life, along with aunts and others.

“Music has always been a draw to me,” Hall said. “It’s relaxing. It’s soothing. When I was about eight-years-old, I got into band at school and learned to play the flute. From there, my interest just took off.”

Hall is proficient in numer-ous instruments including the guitar and piano. On Sundays at Grace on the Hill, he can be any number of places: play-ing an instrument and singing with the band, or behind the scenes running the sound-board or video equipment.

His flexibility could be attributed to life on the road as a professional musician. He graduated from high school in 1991, and said he spent about seven years play-ing with different performers several nights a week. One day he may be backing a country artist. The next, a Motown great like the late Percy Sledge. Often, he had no idea who many of the other musicians were he’d be playing with. They show up, practice for a short while, and then play the gig.

“That’s pretty common,” Hall said. “Percy Sledge didn’t have a band. He’d just show up and whatever band was available, they’d just back him up.”

He remembered fondly the time he got to play a show “on the front line” with Sledge because he was more adept at playing Motown music than the other members, largely country music musicians.

Married with three daugh-ters, two college-aged and the other a sophomore in high

school, Hall said the touring life, while fun, isn’t so good with a family.

“Sometimes I’ll get a phone call to play. I don’t travel by bus anymore, though. I just drive to the show and play and come back home,” Hall said.

At Grace on the Hill, Hall said he has big plans. He said the church band that plays onstage every Sunday, is already amazing and full of talented musicians and sing-ers. He’d like to also form a choir at the church, and get the band out into the commu-nity more at events as part of an outreach effort.

“The band is just phenome-nal. More people should hear them,” Hall said. “We plan on reaching out into the commu-nity within the church, but at the same time getting outside the church too. That’s a way to let people know the pres-ence of God is in their town.”

Also in the works is a cross-platform, mobile app for the church that will help keep members and others informed about what’s going on at Grace on the Hill. He said he also plans to make it so the church can stream live broadcasts of services over the Internet at www.graceon-thehill.org.

The director of the Corbin Public Library was abruptly removed from her position last week after only about two months on the job.

Julia Basil was hired as the new direc-tor of the library in early March, but was released from that role last Tuesday.

The move came during a meeting of the Corbin Library Board of Directors. Brenda Jones, President of the board, confirmed that Basil had been let go, but declined to elaborate on the reason for

the board’s decision.“It’s a personnel matter and I really

can’t say any more about it,” Jones said.Basil was first introduced publicly

at the March membership luncheon of the Southern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce where she lauded the resources and programs of the library, and announced an exciting plan to expand the facility by over 9,000 square feet. The library board had purchased the building adjoining the current library making the expansion possible.

Jones said Tuesday that plans for the expansion are still very much in the

works, and that the board is in the pro-cess of applying for state funds to help with renovation of the building. Basil and Jones accepted a spe-cial plaque signifying the library’s member-ship in the Southern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce at the chamber’s monthly luncheon last Tuesday, the same day Basil was released.

A W h i t l e y C o u n t y Grand Jury indicted an Indianapolis man for rape, a Nevisdale man for a cutting his brother-in-law, and two Corbin men in connection with the kidnapping and assault of a woman, accord-ing to the grand jury’s monthly report Monday morning.

The grand jury charged Christian Black, 21, of Indianapolis, with first-de-gree rape.

His attorney, Ronald Bowling, entered a not guilty plea on his behalf during his arraignment Monday before Whitley C i r c u i t J u d g e P a u l Winchester, who scheduled a June 6 pretrial conference in the case.

Black remains free on bond.

On Apr i l 10 , Black allegedly engaged in sexu-al intercourse with a female through the use of forcible compulsion, according to his indictment.

“Christian Black entered the room I was sleeping in, followed me to my bed and he pulled my shorts down and began having sex,” the victim alleged in the arrest warrant.

The victim then allegedly told Black, “Stop. It hurts,” the warrant stated.

Black allegedly didn’t stop and ask the victim if she was on birth control, according to the warrant.

Wi l l i amsburg Pol ice Chief Wayne Bird said that the assault alleged-ly took place at a cabin at Cumberland Falls State Park sometime after 1 a.m. and was reported to Williamsburg police the following day. “It is our understanding that several younger adults were down there having a get together or a party at a cabin in the park that is when it alleged-ly occurred,” Bird said. “At this point we know there was alcohol involvement.”

B lack and the v i c -tim, who are both stu-dents at the University of the Cumberlands, were acquainted with one anoth-er, Bird said.

The grand jury also indicted Jerry Young, 57, of Nevisdale, charging him with first-degree assault.

On March 9 , Young allegedly stabbed Danny Rickett with a knife causing serious physical injury.

When Whitley County Sheriff ’s Sgt. Kirk Mays arrived at the scene, Rickett told him that he was talking

to Young about picking on his wife and Young pulled a knife and sliced his face open, according to Young’s arrest citation.

Young, who was lying on the ground when police arrived, al legedly told police that he and his broth-er-in-law got into an argu-ment, the brother-in-law did (handwriting illegible) to him, and that he grabbed a knife and cut his brother-in-law, Mays wrote on the arrest citation.

Young pleaded not guilty during his arraignment Monday. Winchester sched-uled a Sept. 21 trial in his case. He declined to reduce Young’s bond, but said he would consider a bond reduction at a later date.

In addition, the grand jury indicted Earl Jackson, 39, and Paul Jackson, 44, both of Corbin, and charged them with kidnapping and first-degree assault.

The indictments alleged that both men - either indi-vidually and/or in complici-ty with another - unlawfully restrained Kristi Lee with the intent to assault her and/or to inflict bodily injury or to terrorize the victim by threatening to kill her, their indictments alleged. The indictments also alleged that the two men - either indi-vidually and/or in complic-ity with another - repeatedly beat Kristi Lee and stabbed her with a knife causing serious physical injury.

Initially, Earl Jackson was the only one charged in connection with the case after police found the vic-tim beaten and bloodied at a residence on Tennessee Street where he was report-edly staying, according to Corbin police.

Capt. Coy Wilson said the victim contacted a friend via a Facebook message saying she was beaten up and being held against her will at the residence.

Police went to the resi-dence and spoke with Earl Jackson, who told police he had taken Lee to Woodbine the night before. Police spoke with Lee’s friend, who insisted she was at the residence with Jackson.

“This officer returned to Tenn. Ave. and spoke with Paul Jackson (Earl Jackson’s brother) and explained that if Lee was at the residence and he was lying he would be charged,” Wilson stated on Earl Jackson’s arrest citation. “Paul reported that Lee was inside the residence in the bathroom.”

See INDICTED, page A-5

A Whitley County Grand Jury indicted a Williamsburg man Monday morning for murder in connection with the vehicular death of a Williamsburg man, who was run over while walking his dog along a sidewalk last month.

The grand jury charged Adam David Childress, 31, with murder, leaving the scene of an accident and operating a motor vehicle while under the influence in connection with the April 13 death of Richard Perkins.

Childress was not transported to court Monday.

Whitley Circuit Judge Paul Winchester scheduled a June 20

arraignment for Childress.Shortly before 6 p.m. on April

13, Childress allegedly drove up on the sidewalk along US25W near Town Hill where he traveled for about 150 feet before running over Perkins, 53, and then left the scene of the accident. About 10 minutes later, Childress wrecked again on Ky. 92E.

Prior to the crash, Childress had allegedly been drinking at VFW Post 3167, according to a wrong-ful death lawsuit filed by Perkins Estate against Childress and the VFW Post.

A report from the Kentucky State Police Southeastern Laboratory Branch in London indicates that Childress had a blood alcohol level of 0.30 when his blood was taken

at Baptist Health Corbin at 7:38 p.m. on April 13. A person is con-sidered legally intoxicated with a blood alcohol level of 0.08.

Childress blood sample has been forwarded onto the Central Forensic Laboratory Toxicology Section for further analysis.

Toxicology testing will determine whether there were any drugs in Childress’ blood system at the time the blood sample was taken.

Childress has a history of past drug usage.

Childress went to rehabilitation in 2007 after an arrest in connection with forged checks. The charges were later dismissed.

In 2010, Williamsburg police arrested Childress for public intox-ication after he was found with

fresh track marks on both arms. He allegedly admitted that he had been shooting up Roxicet, according to his arrest citation.

The charge was later missed for unknown reasons.

Childress is currently being held in the Laurel County Detention Center in lieu of a $250,000 fully secured bond.

Childress, who formerly worked at the Whitley County Detention Center for about two and one-half years, was transferred to Laurel County due to security concerns.

John Blevins, Childress’ attorney in the criminal case, declined to comment on Monday’s indictment.

Adam Towe, an attorney repre-senting Childress in the wrongful death case, filed an answer to the

lawsuit Friday.In the answer, Towe denied all

the allegations brought in the law-suit, including allegations that Childress became too intoxicated to safely operate a motor vehicle.

Among the 12 possible defenses Towe listed in the answer is one that Childress may have suffered from a medical emergency, such that he lacked the requisite intent necessary to be responsible for his actions. “Specifically, the defendant may have been suffering from a blackout seizure such that he cannot be held responsible for his actions,” Towe wrote in the answer.

The answer asks for the lawsuit to be dismissed in its entirety.

So far the VFW Post 3167 hasn’t filed an answer to the lawsuit.

W’burg police towing abandoned carsIf you live in Williamsburg

and have a vehicle parked along a city street that hasn’t been used in quite some time, then you might want to move it onto your property if you want to keep it and avoid a tow bill.

The Williamsburg Police Department started towing abandoned vehicles Thursday and say it is something they plan to continue doing throughout the city if neces-sary.

“We have been ge t -ting complaints for a while throughout the city but more particularly on South Third Street because it is a really congested street. City Park is there. You have the library,” noted Williamsburg Police Chief Wayne Bird. “One of

the biggest complaints we are getting is from school buses. School buses are having a really difficult time getting up and down that street.”

Bird said that the four vehicles, which were towed Thursday, had been there for some time.

“We had weeds growing up around one of them, it had been there so long. All of them had canceled regis-tration plates, and no insur-ance. The tags had been expired for two and three years,” Bird said. “One of the vehicles, which was closer to City Park, the drive shaft was hanging out of it on the ground. It had concrete blocks behind the wheels. We just decided we were going to start enforcing the aban-doned vehicles law and that’s what we did.”

Bird acknowledged that

a lot of people were upset complaining police didn’t get out and knock on doors before towing the vehicles.

Bird said he was on the South Third Street for over 30 minutes Thursday towing vehicles and not one person came out of their homes ask-ing any questions.

“To this day, not one per-son has called my office and had any complaints about it,” Bird said Friday afternoon. “I guess they have chosen to voice their complaints in the community and on Facebook and that is fine.

“I know after doing this job for 21 years that I can’t make everyone happy. It is impossible. I am sorry they are upset about it but it is a state law. It is not a city ordi-nance.”

Bird posted a copy of the state statute regarding

abandonment of a vehicle on the police department’s Facebook page Thursday.

The statute states that a vehicle left upon a county road or city street for three consecutive days shall be presumed to be abandoned.

Bird noted that his depart-ment doesn’t plan to go that far and have vehicles towed that have been sitting for just three days.

“If your vehicle is sitting there and it is non-operation-al, you’re not using it any more and it becomes an eye-sore to the community then we are going to tow it under the abandoned vehicle law,” Bird said. “If people aren’t happy about that I don’t know what to say.”

Bird noted that one com-ment he saw on social media is that city is making money from this, which he disputes.

News Journal

There is little reasonable or ratio-

nal talk when it comes to annex-ation.

There is only insanity. Rumors. Innuendo. Conspiracies. Hidden agendas.

And a whole lot of misinformation.

That’s what I’ve learned in 20 years at the News Journal.

About 10 years ago, I covered a meeting in south-ern Laurel County where some homeowners there were FURIOUS over plans by the city of Corbin to annex them.

It was nuts!There was no such plan.Nobody at that meeting cared.They fumed and yelled. It was a pitchfork and

torch type of gathering.I had several guys come up to me with tattered

scraps of paper with Kentucky laws printed on them that had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with annex-ation. But in there, they insisted, was the dirty, backdoor legal way Corbin was going to force them to become part of its city.

The Judge-Executive at the time even came and spoke and promised to protect the good citizens from any planned land grabs by the city.

Ever heard this one? Corbin can’t annex into Laurel County because there’s a law on the books, cynically put there by a certain state senator back in the Stone Ages, that says Corbin can’t annex into a third county.

Yeah, it’s a myth.Nobody ever believes me when I tell them that. I’ve

even written about it several times right here in this space. Barely makes dent. It’s been told so often, it’s become the stuff of legend.

Somebody please find for me this law. I sure can’t find it.

The truth isn’t as interesting as the folklore. Here it is for anyone who really wants to know.

Corbin can’t annex its way into Laurel County because of a 1932 legal decision involving the city of Elsmere that has never been overturned. There was another case that tested it in 1949. It’s just basically a “common law” principle that a city cannot annex into a county in which it wasn’t originally chartered.

This decision was not targeted at Corbin. It didn’t even involve Corbin at the time, although there was a court battle the city lost in the late 1970s when it wanted to annex some property owners in southern Laurel County. The 1932 case was the basis for a special judge’s ruling against the city of Corbin.

I know, I know. That explanation lacks the evil vil-lian and dastardly deeds needed to take root.

Actually, no city (London or Corbin) is interested in annexing southern Laurel County residents. Not really.

It’s that strip of businesses and commercial prop-erty along U.S. 25E everyone really cares about. Many of those business do want to be annexed, for various reasons. It would allow for a lot of growth and economic development at I-75 Exit 29. There was a proposal during this past meeting of the Kentucky General Assembly that would have allowed Corbin to annex some property there, while pro-tecting the taxing interests of Laurel County. The estimate is it would have created 400 jobs almost instantly.

But it was scuttled. Primarily, I’m told, because of persistent misinformation and rumormongering.

Imagine that!This area can use all the jobs and economic growth

we can muster.Everyone wants that. At least I think they do.But sometimes, I wonder.Perhaps things will calm down long enough for it

to happen in future sessions.It’s something that would have been good for

everyone involved.

PEN POINTS

One of the biggest mysteries I will never understand is why the sounds of barking dogs do

not bother their owners. They bother everybody else. There is an epidemic of barking dogs disturbing numerous people in Corbin and something needs to be done about it.

I was made aware of the extreme noise level the first night my wife and I spent in our new residence right in the heart of Corbin. That was a couple of months ago before we had moved back here from Henderson. The next day I drove out the street to see where the noise was coming from and I dis-

covered a dog lot a couple of blocks away that had sev-eral dogs in it. If the barking dogs were that loud that far away, how disturb-ing would it be for those in the neigh-borhood who lived closer to them?

I talked to others who told me the noise level was awful and how the dogs kept them awake at night. I wondered why these people had not made enough noise themselves

at City Hall to have something done about it. The city does have a nuisance law.

Then last week, on the first night we spent in our new home after moving here, I was awakened early in the morning by what I thought were dogs in my bedroom. I looked

out our bedroom window and the neighbor behind us had constructed a small fenced area for two puppies, right under our bedroom window. The

dogs were crying and barking with sounds loud enough to disturb the whole neighborhood.

I became very upset knowing we could not live with the noise. I called city hall and asked what could be done about it. I was told about the nuisance law. But why should people in the neighborhood have to get authorities involved? Do these dog owners not have any consideration for others? Apparently not! Over the years I have had several dogs. We loved them. They were great pets and we never let them

Letters to the EditorPRIDE President thanks everyone who supported Cumberland Falls cleanup

Reader has a ‘Dream of Prophecy’ that gives hope for the future

Dear Editor: I am writing to thank everyone in Whitley County and the

Corbin area who supported the Cumberland Falls PRIDE Spring Cleanup on Saturday, April 30, 2016.

I am delighted to announce that a grand total of 404 vol-unteers participated in the event. We were extremely pleased with the volunteer turnout, especially given the rainy fore-cast that day. The majority of volunteers came from Whitley County and McCreary County, but surrounding counties were well represented. Even two Michigan residents, who were vis-iting the falls, joined the cleanup.

Whitley County earned the Volunteer Cup trophy, which goes to the county with the most residents participating in the cleanup. I am grateful to the 198 Whitley County residents who volunteered.

For the Greatest Volunteer Participation Awards among groups, the top community group was Walmart, with vol-unteers from Corbin, London and the London Distribution Center. The First Baptist Church of Rockholds was the 1st Runner Up in the community category. In the school category, the Pine Knot Job Corps was the winner, and Whitley County High School JROTC was the 1st Runner Up.

In just two hours, the volunteers removed 738 bags of trash, four tires, and three TVs from Hwy. 90 and nearby roads, as well as the Cumberland Falls overlooks. As a result, visitors can now enjoy the scenic drive to Cumberland Falls without the distraction of roadside litter.

Also critical to this team effort were the individuals and businesses that donated food, door prizes, services, or money. We appreciate these people and businesses for their ser-vice to the community: Big South Fork Scenic Railway, District Office of Congressman Harold Rogers, Doug McCoy, Fastway, Junkyard Pottery, Kroger, London Walmart Supercenter, Lumber King, Master Musicians Festival, McCreary County Board of Education, Milton’s Burger Hut, Nails by Sherry, Pepsi Cola Bottling, Robert Mulinax, Robinson’s Premium Meats, Sheltowee Trace Association, Sheltowee Trace Outfitters, Sweet Kreations Gift Shoppe & Fudgery, United Cumberland Bank, Walmart Distribution Center 6097, and Whitley County School System.

The local partners who helped organize the event also are greatly appreciated. They were: Cumberland Falls State Resort Park, McCreary County Extension Service, McCreary County Fiscal Court/109 Board, Pine Knot Job Corp, US Forest Service, and Whitley County Fiscal Court.

The sponsors of the region-wide 2017 PRIDE Spring Cleanup campaign were: Outdoor Venture Corporation, Walmart, East Kentucky Power Cooperative, and Kentucky Association of Highway Contractors, Inc.

Finally, I want to thank Eugenia Jones of the McCreary County Voice for photographing the event. Her photos can be seen at www.facebook.com/EasternKentuckyPRIDE.

To the Editor:

Storms raged as I rolled and tossed in my sleeping bag after Betty ran me out of the house for snoring, I finally settled down and had “A Dream of Prophecy” that gave me hope for our future. My dream opened as I watched Herschel Roaden, World Renown Master Technician and Bob Terrell another prophetic dreamer in serious discussion at Joy’s restaurant.

Herschel is a great thinker and commented “First, Bob, we now agree to fix Social Security each person’s income should have 6.2 percent withdrawn for Social Security and 1.45 percent for Medicare.

The employer now matches that amount up to 118,500 in annual income. We must fix Social Security and Medicare by requiring individual to pay this .2 percent and 1.45 per-cent on all income. The employer, however, would only pay the 6.2 percent income up to $118,500 and 1.4 percent for Medicare on all income. Periodically this $118,500 maxi-mum income amount for deduction by employers could be raised to offset inflation.

Second, all members of the Federal, State and local governments and all working people would be included in Social Security Retirement and Medicare. This would become the foundation of our retirement system. We would all be on equal ground.”

Tears began to stream down Bob’s face as he fully embel-lished Herschel’s brilliant plan.

Herschel said quietly with resolve, “Bob we can’t stop now. We must fix affordable health care.” They both showed commitment and resolve and moved forward with unity of purpose.

Herschel suggested, “We believe all our people should be on equal ground on Social Security and now let’s get us on equal ground on health care!” Bob said, “We should fol-low your same decision on health care as you suggested on Social Security.

All members of the Federal, State, and local governments and all our people should be on the same type of medical insurance program.

There would no longer be any blue ribbon special insur-ance programs for politicians and big shots. We would all be on equal ground.” Herschel shouted amen saying, “We are there Bob, we are there.”

Suddenly as my dream was ending the sun began to brightly shine and the “Heavenly Choir began to sing, “Oh, what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day, I’ve got a beautiful feeling, everything’s going our way.” Betty opened the back door and gently led me in from the dog-house.

Postscript (I hope Herschel and Bob will have the famous Scientist Herman Moore join their next meeting and take on “Global Warming.” Wow!

Annexation talk is rarely, if ever, sane or based on facts

Members of the Whitley County UNITE Coalition heard from a repre-sentative of a Willisburg rehabilitation facility Monday that utilizes an electro-therapy device to ease withdrawal symp-toms for clients.

Isaiah House President Michael Cox was the keynote speaker for Monday’s monthly Whitley County UNITE Coalition meeting, which was held at the Whitley County Health Department.

One unique aspect of the program is that it utilizes NeuroElectric Therapy, which is a form of Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation that eases withdrawal symp-toms.

“Basically, it stimulates the neu-rotransmitters to start producing dopa-mine or serotonin that is the good feeling chemicals in our brain. Those transmit-ters have been hijacked because of their addiction,” Cox noted.

“It has just been an incredible device. They wear the device for three, four or five days. It doesn’t take it all away. I have asked guys if it helps. Many of them say it reduces it down to a third of the withdrawal symptoms.”

Isaiah House opened in 1999. It is a Christ-centered 72-bed men’s drug and alcohol rehabilitation center that takes a holistic approach and tries to

address every area of life. The program is nationally accredited, joint-commis-sion accredited and state licensed.

It offers a 100-day program that is utilized by many people paying with vouchers from Operation UNITE, but it also has an eight-month residential program that includes three additional months of follow-up counseling.

Isaiah House has been partnering with Operation UNITE for about 10 years.

Isaiah House also runs a 30-day 16-bed treatment facility for Medicaid only patients. Cox noted that the reason for this is Medicaid will only pay for 30 days of treatment and won’t pay at facili-ties larger than 16 beds.

About 48 percent of the Isaiah House clients are court-ordered, and 76 percent of clients completing the program have not re-offended legally.

Also during Monday’s meeting, Whitley County UNITE Coalition President Amber Owens noted that the take home oral drug testing kits that Unite Coalition partners started handing out recently have proven to be a big hit. The Williamsburg Police Department alone has already distributed about 50 kits to parents.

In addition, Owens noted that spon-sors are still needed for Camp UNITE, which is held annually at the University of the Cumberlands.

UNITE, which stands for Unlawful

N a r c o t i c s I n v e s t i g a t i o n , Treatment, and Education, holds free, weeklong camps annually to educate young people on how to say no to drugs and how to make wise decisions through life.

Last year 192 chil-dren participated. This year the camp will be held July 26-29.

In order to attend the free camp, a student must have completed either the sixth, seventh or eighth grade this past year.

Owens noted that not many Whitley County children have taken part in the program but efforts are being made to change that through working with local schools.

The deadline for applications to Camp UNITE is July 1, but officials noted those interested in attending should apply as quickly as possible because the camp fills up early.

For more information about attending Camp UNITE or being a sponsor, con-tact Owens at 549-6000. Next month’s Whitley County UNITE Coalition meet-ing will take place on June 20 at 4:30 p.m. in the basement of the Whitley County Health Department in Williamsburg.

Wilson said Lee told police that she had been held in a garage detached from the house. While there, Earl Jackson reportedly beat her with his fists and cut her with a knife.

“She said he went off one night, blaming her for everything,” Wilson said when he asked Lee what started the incident.

Wilson said Lee stated she took a cell phone from someone at the house and used it to take the picture and send it to her friend.

“He said he didn’t do it,” Wilson said of Earl Jackson. “He denied everything.”

Earl Jackson pleaded not guilty during his arraignment Monday, and Winchester sched-uled a June 6 pre-trial conference in the case.

Earl Jackson is currently being held in the Whitley County Detention Center in lieu of a $75,000 cash bond. According to its monthly report and indictments, the grand jury returned 17 other indictments Monday, including:

• Anthony Conlin, 25, of London, and Glennis Isaacs, 42, of Danville - first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance. Isaacs was also charged with being a first-degree persistent felony offender. On Feb. 1, the pair allegedly possessed for sale or transfer two grams or more of methamphetamine. Isaacs has prior felony convictions for second-degree escape, manufacture of methamphetamine and theft by unlawful taking.

• Mattie McClure, 39, and Douglas Malone, 43, both of Williamsburg - receiving sto-len property over $10,000. Malone was also indicted for being a second-degree persis-tent felony offender. On March 7, the duo allegedly possessed a 2016 Hyundai Veloster vehicle that had been stolen from Alamo Rental. Malone has a prior felony conviction for second-degree robbery.

• Everett Young, 44, of Williamsburg - two counts of first-degree possession of a con-trolled substance, third-degree possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana under eight ounces, illegal possession of a leg-end drug and possession of drug parapherna-lia. On March 16, Young allegedly possessed one methadone pill, one Oxycodone pill, five Xanax, 21 Gabapentin and a pipe.

• Joshua Bowen, 30, of Williamsburg, and Christopher King, 26, of Jellico - trafficking in marijuana over five pounds. On Feb. 17, the duo allegedly possessed for sale or transfer 5.13 pounds of marijuana.

• Kenneth Wagers, 48, of Corbin - receiv-ing stolen property over $500 but less than $10,000 and second-degree persistent felony offender. On March 10, Wagers allegedly possessed a 2015 Jeep Patriot body shell and

numerous parts that had been stolen from Timothy Banks. He has a prior felony convic-tion for first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance.

• David A. Randle, 30, of Corbin - posses-sion of a handgun by a convicted felon. On April 14, Randle allegedly possessed a .44 Magnum Smith & Wesson handgun after hav-ing previously been convicted of third-degree assault.

• James Messer, 29, of Corbin - first-degree possession of a controlled substance. On March 4, Messer was allegedly found in pos-session of methamphetamine.

• Kevin Malone, 30, of Corbin - two counts of first-degree trafficking in a controlled sub-stance, trafficking in marijuana less than eight ounces and second-degree persistent felony offender. On March 2, Malone allegedly pos-sessed for sale or transfer less than six grams of methamphetamine. He has prior felony convictions for second-degree trafficking in a controlled substance and retaliating against a participant in a legal process.

• Robert Kazee, 37, and Summer Angel, 29, both of London - first-degree possession of a controlled substance. On March 9, the pair allegedly possessed methamphetamine.

• Axie Abner, 35, of Barbourville, Heather Warren, 30, of Flatlick, and Bobby Hamilton, 35, of Pineville - possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. Hamilton was also indicted for first-degree possession of a controlled substance. On Feb. 25, the trio allegedly individually and/or in complicity with oth-ers possessed a Walther P22 semi-automatic handgun. Abner has a prior conviction for first-degree trafficking in a controlled sub-stance. Warren has prior felony convictions for facilitation to manufacture methamphet-amine and second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument. Hamilton has prior felony convictions for fourth-offense operat-ing a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol/drugs and third-degree burglary. On Feb. 25, Hamilton also allegedly possessed methamphetamine.

• Jeremy Gregory, 22, of Girdler - first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance, third-degree possession of a controlled sub-stance and possession of drug parapherna-lia. On Feb. 9, Gregory allegedly possessed methamphetamine, three Clonazepam, digital scales and baggies.

In addition, the grand jury returned no true bill or no indictment against Charles Elliott following into an allegations of endangering the welfare of a minor, first-degree possession of a controlled substance, possession of mari-juana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Baptist Health Corbin accidently spills 350 gallons of fuel in Bacon Creek

Cleanup efforts are con-tinuing on Bacon Creek fol-lowing a diesel fuel spill Monday night.

Whitley County Emergency Management Director Danny Moses said approximately 350 to 400 gallons of fuel spilled into the creek from Baptist Health Corbin.

The fuel was held in a 500-gallon tank that feeds the

hospital’s backup generator.“It is tested every morn-

ing and that is when they had a malfunction with it,” Moses said. Moses said the fuel first feeds into a smaller tank outside. A malfunction Monday resulted in a spill. The fuel flowed to a vent pipe leading up to the roof. Once it reached the roof, the fuel flowed to a downspout and into Bacon Creek.

“There was so much pres-sure that the fuel shot up

through the pipe onto the roof,” said Corbin Fire Chief Barry McDonald. “Then it seeped down onto the first floor and in the drains.”

Moses said Corbin fire-fighters were called to the scene between 6:30 and 7 p.m. when area residents reported smelling the fuel.

Moses said firefighters set up four sets of booms along Bacon Creek to stop the fuel from continuing down to Lynn Camp Creek and on

into the Laurel River.“None of the fuel reached

Lynn Camp Creek,” McDonald said, noting Laurel County and West Knox fire departments provided booms and pads to stop the fuel and soak it up from the water.

In addition, firefighters set up a dike that has pipes at the bottom to permit the water to continue to flow, while stop-ping the lighter diesel.

Moses estimates cleanup will take several days.

The fi rst study to measure the full spectrum of age-related damage to all fi ve senses found that 94 percent of older adults in the United States have at least one sensory defi cit, 38 percent have two, and 28 percent have three, four or fi ve. As expected, older participants in the study had more sensory defi cits, with large differences in bearing, vision and smell. Men scored worse on hearing, smell and taste, but better than women for corrected vision.

Age-related sensory loss is a serious problem. An earlier study found that hearing impairment may also be associated with an increased risk of death. An earlier study found that ol-factory dysfunction predicted mortality better than a diagnosis of heart failure or cancer.

Interviewers for the study rated subjects’ ability to bear on a fi ve-point scale based on bow they responded during their con-versation and categorized then as good, fair or poor. Subjects were allowed to wear their bearing aids if they chose to.

The gradual decline of input from the senses “constrains how the elderly cope with social, physical and cognitive stresses.” It is a major part of why older people report decreased quality of life.

There are interventions for those senses that could make a big difference, for example eyeglasses, hearing aids and smell training.

The Corbin Tourism Commission received some financial help Saturday in its on-going effort to return the L&N 2132 locomotive, along with its coal tender and caboose to their former glory.

The board of directors of the L&N Historical Society, which held its quarterly meeting over the weekend in Corbin, presented the tourism commission with a check for $5,000 to go toward the res-toration efforts.

Sid Johnson, president of the historical society, said when he initially heard of the plans for the museum, he was skeptical, especially because those plans included return-ing 2132 to Corbin to serve as a centerpiece.

“I didn’t have a lot of hope for it,” Johnson said.

“We are very proud that it has gone this far.”

Ron Flannery, a railroad historian and expert on the history of the L&N Railroad, said adding L&N 2132 is one of the things that will separate the Corbin Railroad Museum from others.

“With all due respect, there are railroad museums that are just piles of junk and there are railroad museums that are world class,” Flannery said.

Flannery explained that of the three surviving L&N Railroad steam locomotives, 2132 is the only one that was built in-house.

L&N built more than 400 locomotives at its South Louisville shops,” Flannery said. “If you are looking for the South Louisville shops today, it is under the 50-yard-line at Papa John’s Stadium.

“There was no chance of sending this engine back to where it was built,” Flannery said. “So it made more sense to bring it to a place where it used to work and it used to work in Corbin.”

L&N Historical Society donates to Corbin Rail Museum

While the pieces are in dis-repair and the locomotive is missing many of its unique accessories, Flannery said that would be changing as officials have found gauges, number plates, a headlight, whistle and bell.

“We have all of the pieces necessary to put that engine back together,” Flannery said.

Corbin Tourism Director Maggy Kriebel had previ-ously estimated the cost to restore the rolling stock and build the museum at between

$800,000 and $1 million.At its April meeting, the

tourism commission approved a motion to use a combination of cash reserves and loans to finance the entire project with the goal of completing it as soon as possible.

Kriebel said she is in the process of putting together the request for proposal, which is the next step in securing the loans to fund the design and construction of the museum.

In addition, donations such as the one made Saturday by

the L&N Historical Society and any other private dona-tions are welcome and encouraged.

Donations to the non-profit “Friends of the Corbin Rail Museum, Inc. may be brought to the Corbin Tourism Commission Office at The Corbin Center.

Additional information is available by contacting the tourism commission at 528-8860.

“The journey has just begun,” Kriebel said.

All aboard: Above, officials from the L&N Historical Society Board of Directors presented the Corbin Tourism Commission with a $5,000 donation to help fund the restoration of the L&N 2132 locomotive, its coal tender and caboose on display on Depot Street. The donation was made Saturday during the L&N Railroad Expo at The Corbin Depot. Among the displays was a model train including a CSX engine pull-ing a load of coal cars. Some of the items donated for the museum may be seen in the background.

The Corbin City Commission authorized Mayor Willard McBurney to sign the necessary paperwork as the fire department is work-ing on securing grant money for a new rescue truck and new breathing gear.

The first grant totals $114,011.25 and will be used purchase a new air compres-sor, along with four large air bottles into which the com-pressor forces the air.

“We fill our air bottles from the big bottles,” explained Corbin Fire Chief Barry McDonald, adding the cost for the compressor and large bottles is $40,011.25.

The remaining $74,400 will be used to purchase 12 new breathing apparatus, 12 spare bottles, 12 harnesses and 20 masks.

McDonald explained that the masks and bottles both have a maximum user life after which they must be replaced.

In addition to replacing the masks, McDonald said it would be an upgrade.

“They don’t make the kind that we wear now,” McDonald said.

McDonald said this is a 100 percent grant so the city will not have to put up any match-ing funds.

The second grant, through the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is to help cover the cost of a new rescue truck for the department.

The commission initially gave authorization in April. However, the amount of the grant has been reduced from $50,000 to $37,931 necessitat-ing the commission to reau-thorize McBurney to sign the agreement.

McDonald said USDA offi-cials initially gave an inaccu-rate estimate of the amount of the grant.

“The cost of the truck remains the same,” McDonald said, noting it is estimated at $120,000.

McDonald said previously that the truck is approximately the size of a Ford F-350 pickup truck. It will primarily be used for medical runs and wrecks.

“It will take away from run-ning the pumper all the time,” McDonald said.

McDonald said that in 2014, firefighters responded to 591 calls that were either medical calls or wrecks. In 2015, that number was 557.

In addition to the Jaws-of-Life and medical equipment, McDonald said the truck would have a compressed air foam firefighting system simi-lar to the truck used by the Lily Fire Department.

Local and state officials came together Tuesday at The Corbin Center to dis-cuss ways to fight the grow-ing opiate abuse problem that is ravaging individuals and, in some cases, entire communities across the Commonwealth.

The forum, hosted by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services, featured area healthcare personnel including individuals from the Whitley County Health Department and Baptist Health Corbin.

“It is wonderful to see so many people that are engaged in finding ways to serve our community better and sup-port people who are strug-gling with addition,” said Baptist Health Corbin Chief Executive Officer Larry Gray.

Gray added that overcom-ing this problem is going to take a combined effort from all segments of the commu-nity, including, government, criminal justice, medical pro-fessionals and family mem-bers of those dealing with addiction.

“This is really a nationwide issue and we need to be look-ing for ways to provide safety nets and treatment for folks who need treatment and want treatment,” Gray said.

Representing the law enforcement and criminal justice side of the discus-sion was Kentucky Cabinet for Justice and Public Safety Secretary John Tilly.

Tilly emphasized that while there is and, likely will always be a need for incarceration, more funding should be rerouted to drug treatment to make it more readily available to addicts.

We continue to warehouse people, sadly, who are drug addicted,” Tilly said. “We continue to use jails and pris-ons as an answer in some cases, even though there has been a tremendous shift in that.

“We are spending hundreds of millions of dollars in that area that could be diverted to

treatment,” Tilly said.Tilly said despite that,

Kentucky still doesn’t have half of the drug treatment that is needed.

Tilly added that officials must ensure that the treat-ment available must be effec-tive.

“Sometimes poor treatment is as ineffective as no treat-ment at all and it sometimes can worsen the situation,” Tilly said.

Tilly said the courts can and will play an important role by ordering individuals into drug treatment.

“Studies indicate that forced treatment works well,” Tilly said. “You want people to want treatment but when they are addicted thebrain is fundamentally altered. These folks don’t admit. They do anything and everything to get the drug.”

We have to treat it from a public health standpoint,” Tilly said. “I think that is the shift that has to occur. We have to rely on people in rooms like this to treat it.”

said he and his son were drinking coffee when they heard the sound of the fall.

“We heard him holler and hit the ground. We thought it was a tree falling,” Wilson said.

Woodbine firefighters established a helicopter-landing zone at the former C&P Meats processing site on A.J. Sutton Road off of Ky. 204. Beverly was taken by ambulance to the site and then airlifted to the University of Kentucky Medical Center.

Officials at UK said Tuesday that Beverly had been dis-charged.

seek in the future or when that might be, but said the door on his political career is not closed.

Patrick was upbeat about the experience.

“This is the glory of our political system. There has to be a winner and loser,” Patrick said. “You can’t win them all.”

Bunch said she would con-tinue to do what she has done in the run up to the General Election. “I just plan to stay consistent and informative,” Bunch said adding that she will be doing several speak-ing engagements for local groups such as the Kiwanis.

“I will just continue to serve as I have,” Bunch said.

Schwartz admits that she wasn’t expecting a turnout this high Tuesday due in large part to fewer than usual absentee ballots being cast, which is often a good gauge of voter inter-est in an election.

“Evidently people went to the polls and voted instead,” she noted.

The 2012 and 2008 Presidential Primary elections in Whitley County also saw about an 18 percent voter turnout. About 10.5 percent of voters went to the polls in Whitley County during the 2004 Presidential Primary, according to News Journal archives.

Schwartz said she was surprised that there weren’t more complaints from Republican voters about not being able to cast their ballots for president Tuesday.

“I think the publicity of the caucus by the Republican party and everybody who worked in that caucus paid off. We didn’t have complaints. We only had a few calls, and they were people who asked before going to the vote,” she added.

Schwartz added that there were no election-related problems reported on Election Day in Whitley County.

Whitley County Democrats gave most of their support to Hillary Clinton, who received 522 votes to Bernie Sanders 409 votes in the Democratic Presidential Primary.

Whitley County Democrats overwhelmingly endorsed Lexington Mayor Jim Gray in his bid for the U.S. Senate nomination. Gray received 679 votes in Whitley County. His closest challenger, Sellus Wilder, received 99 votes. Five other

about layoffs but has not heard anything as to how many jobs will be lost.

However, McBurney said seeing companies like CSX and Whayne Supply forced to lay off workers is hard on the community.

“When you take a company that has been so vibrant and see them in this condition, it is heartbreaking,” McBurney said. The company laid off seven employees at the Corbin facility in 2015 and 14 employees in 2013.

Approximately 110 people are currently employed at the Corbin facility.

Whayne Supply Company was founded in Louisville, Kentucky in 1913, and is one of the oldest and larg-

est Caterpillar dealers in the United States. It specializes in the sale, lease and ser-vice of large equipment for construction companies, con-tractors, coal operators and others. In recent years, the company has been sharply affected by a downturn in the coal industry.

The company has approxi-mately 1,300 employees with facilities in 16 cities across Kentucky and south-ern Indiana. In addition to CAT equipment sales, parts, service, and rentals, Whayne Supply Company is also the local dealer for Reedrill, Trail King, Thomas Built Buses, Challenger, Lexion, Sullair, Allmand and other construc-tion, industrial, mining, pav-ing, forestry, and agricultural equipment.

I would like to discuss a form of methamphetamine often called “ice” and thank the community

for its increasing assistance in combating crime.

In the last year, local law enforcement has seen an increase in methamphetamine posses-sion and trafficking. The increase of meth use is likely because some prescription drugs are harder to obtain due to stricter laws putting “pill mills” out of business. Specifically, we have seen an increase in a form of meth called “ice.” It’s also called “crystal meth.”

This form of meth got that name because of its crystal or rock-like appearance. When many people think of meth, they envision pop bottles and plas-tic tubing. However, ice is a much stronger form of meth created by more sophisticated means. It is not believed to be made anywhere in this area.

On one day, May 8, in response to two unrelated calls, Whitley County deputies seized approximately 23 grams of what’s believed to be ice. In each case, there were children present. Since then, depu-ties have taken more ice off of the streets, and Barbourville police report seizing over 100 grams of crystal meth in a two-week period.

The May 8 arrests I referenced were the result of good intentioned people picking up the phone and calling to report suspicious activity.

The frequency of calls and anonymous tips has increased during my time in office. I hope that’s because the people have greater trust in this depart-ment. Every call or tip is valuable and very appreci-ated. One of the arrests I mentioned earlier came

from a concerned citizen and helped protect two children under the age of 10-years-old.

I wish drug addiction didn’t exist, but it does. I feel the Christian thing to do is warn those that are suffering from sub-stance abuse that ice is far more potent and more dangerous than what they may be used to.

I hope this helps clarify what we mean when press releases refer to a “crystal-like substance believed to be ‘ice’ methamphetamine.” It’s a national problem, but many people here have asked members of my department and me about these different forms of meth.

Local law enforcement is doing everything to stop drugged drivers. This department has had many traffic stops result in drug possession charges. We’re building cases against area residents who are believed to be receiving ice from out of the state and then trafficking it locally. Calls and tips from the public have been very valuable, and I encourage you all to call anytime you know where drugs are located or a person is driving under the influence.

Governor Matt Bevin will soon become only the sixth person to receive the Daniel Boone Visionary Award. The Boy Scouts of America’s Mountain Laurel District selected Governor Bevin for the honor based on his strong commitment to young people and for his support and promotion of the values important to Scouting. A special dinner and award ceremony in his honor will be held June 2, 2016 at the Corbin Center.

“Gov. Bevin’s lifelong commitment to serving others, his desire to make things better for our young people, his work ethic and strong moral compass make him a good example for our Scouts,” said Mountain Laurel District Chairman, Jay Nolan. “This, combined with his vision, his ability to lead people and bring different folks together for the greater good, that really impressed the nominating committee. He is a great example of the kind of leader we want our scouts to become,” Nolan stated. “We look forward to hearing Governor Bevin speak, and believe he will be an inspiration and encouragement to our scouts, leaders and sponsors. “

Michael Sharpe, chairman of the Daniel Boone Visionary Committee, and Regional President with Forcht Bank, said, “We are delighted the Governor agreed to accept this honor. Scouting is about doing your best, doing your duty, serving others and maintaining high standards of integrity. Governor Bevin clearly has demonstrated all of these. We are also excited that several past honorees like Senate President Robert Stivers, and Bruce Carpenter, our 2015 honoree and Corbin’s Economic Development Director, will also be among those able to attend this year.”

Sharpe also encourages anyone wishing to attend the ceremony and help support scouting to contact him at 606 862-5720 or Kim Ashlock at 606 416-8823 or email [email protected]. All proceeds from the event will be used to support scouts and develop the scouting program right here in the Mountain Laurel District. The district serves nearly 1000 youth and more than 20 differ-ent units in Bell, Clay, Harlan, Jackson, Knox, Laurel and Whitley Counties.

LAYOFFS: Slated to take effect mid-July

STATE REP.: Patrick remains upbeat in defeat

For popular Corbin dentist Keith Gibson, the road to an early retirement started at NIBROC.

Dr. Gibson had asked one of his patients if he knew a good dentist that could possibly take over his practice. Just so happens, he did. The wife of one of the patient’s best friends was a dentist. The two played volleyball together annually at the festival’s volleyball tournament.

“It’s just something they did. I’ve been to NIBROC a bunch of times,” said Dr. Katherine Whitaker.

The Bardstown native, who eventually did take over Dr. Gibson’s Main Street practice, said she wasn’t really looking to make a move. She had a lucrative job at a large dental clinic in Tennessee, but the idea was tempting. She liked the general feel of the Corbin community, and had heard it had good schools and was a great place to raise a family.

“I was at a big practice, but it wasn’t really the life I wanted for myself,” she said. “I wanted something small and to have more per-sonal connections. When this fell into our laps, I thought I might as well take a look at it. That look turned into a sec-ond look, and then a visit. It was just one open door after another.”

Gibson, who has practiced dentistry in Corbin for 26 years, said he’s gotten many questions from patients about why he’s retiring. He’s only 53-years-old. He’s healthy and happy.

Gibson said the reason is simple. He wants to spend more time with his 16-year-old son and 11-year-old daugh-

ter.“When you have kids later in life, they are a blessing, but

it just wears you down trying to be involved in everything they are doing,” Gibson said.

“Dentistry is pretty much all I did the first part of my life, and now it’s to the point with the kids that it’s their time,” he said. “When I would leave here and rush to get to games and other things, I never really felt like I was enjoy-ing them the way I should. I think it was time for me to step aside. It just felt right.”

But Gibson didn’t just want to turn over his practice to anyone. Every move was cautious at first.

“It just kept going through one hoop after the other, and I kept thinking maybe this is meant to be,” Gibson said.

“Once I saw her work in the office, it felt perfect. A lot of my nerves and wor-ries were eliminated.”

Whitaker completed her undergraduate studies at Georgetown College and after graduated from the University of Kentucky School of Dentistry. She said patients have been very positive and under-standing for the most part

about the transition. Gibson’s practice has about 1,500 active patients.

“There’s some hesitancy, but for the most part people have been super nice. I feel like I’ve been nothing but wel-comed,” Whitaker said.

Whitaker said she hopes to bring new services to the practice, including IV sedation dentistry.

“It’s a blessing to have someone here with her skill,” Gibson said. “I feel at peace knowing she is here taking care of everything. It was just meant to be.”

Gibson is currently finishing up seeing his patients.

More than a year-and-a-half after the project was first announced, officials with Grace Community Health Center and the Southeast Kentucky Industrial Development Authority met Thursday to close the sale of 10 acres of property in the Southeast Kentucky Small Business Park that will serve as the site of a new “medical campus.”

Michael Stanley, CEO of Grace Community Health Center, said the project, which was originally scheduled to break ground in early 2015, has been delayed as the non-profit orga-nization has continued to expand.

“Even during this process, we have grown considerably,” Stanley said, noting that in addition to family practice, the organization offers internal medicine, women’s health, behav-ioral health, outreach and school-based health.

“The needs of the community were there and we were meeting the needs of the community. Now it is up to us to

have a facility to bring that all under one roof,” Stanley said.Stanley said what began in October 2014 as an $8-$10 mil-

lion project, has grown to $29-$30 million.Stanley said the location of the site and the room for expan-

sion makes the site ideal for the project.“I know 10 acres sounds like a lot for a medical campus

but as much as we have been growing since 2008, we are envisioning the fact that we are going to need even more land, Stanley said, noting the campus could eventually encompass an additional 40 acres at some point.

Grace Community Health Center reached an agreement ear-lier this month with Dr. Michael Watts and Dr. Truman Perry to merge their practices with the organization.

“They have a rich history and a lot of patients. I think their patient population will be the ones who reap the benefits,” Stanley said. “We expect improved outcomes for the patient through a big focus on quality measures.”

MAKING A TRANSITION

Grace Community Health CEO estimates project at $30 million

The final day o f t h e 2 0 1 6 L e g i s l a t i v e Session ended a little bit dif-fe ren t ly than w a s i n t e n d -ed. Therefore, on Apr i l 27 , Governor Bevin issued several anxiously awaited veto statements on several pieces of leg-islation very important to Kentucky. Those included more than 30 items within the budget bill, which will direct the Commonwealth’s spending priorities over the next two years.

As expected, House Bill 303, the Executive Branch Budget, was vetoed in part by the governor. Due to prolonged conference committee negotiations, which pushed until the final hour of the session, the General Assembly negated its ability to override any veto made by the governor. Therefore, every veto made to the budget bill will stay intact. This was the price paid for time wasted that should have been used to address these issues, beginning the first day of the 2016 General Assembly. However, progress was hampered throughout our 60 days of service for various reason, all guided by the politics of both parties.

Within his first legislative session, Governor Bevin vetoed all or part of 14 bills presented before him by the General Assembly, well over the usual amount. A few I feel worth mentioning are, a free community college scholarship pro-gram, and the state’s new driver’s license bill. The new licenses would have brought Kentucky up to federal require-ments to be used as identification in boarding domestic flights. The federal government has given until October 1, 2020 for licenses to be changed and brought in compliance. I voted against this measure on the floor due to concerns regarding access of public information, and the lack of clarity of the protection and housing of this information. I am sure this issue will be addressed revisited within the 2017 Session.

After the veto statements were revealed, Kentucky’s final budget reflected in part the priorities that were House Republican Caucus budget proposals. Over the next two years, the budget will take a giant leap toward reaching sol-vency of the state’s nearly $38 billion pension liability. We fought for funding public pensions at historically high levels in order to fulfill our retirement commitment to Kentucky’s workers and teachers, and all without borrowing any money. We must correct this shortcoming, and it is unacceptable to do it while strapping our children and grandchildren with more debt. I am proud to have helped lead this charge.

Kentucky’s final budget fully funds the Judicial Branch, and dodges potential cuts which would have been devastating to one of our state’s most important systems. Without full funding, our court systems would have faced nearly 600 lost jobs and major delays in a very functional, efficient system. Furthermore, important and highly successful programs such as drug court would have been eliminated. It is important our courts function effectively and efficiently, and it is just as important that programs like drug court remain intact to help those in need.

Another area which received ample funding was K-12 education, which is certainly near the top of the priority list for Kentuckians. I was the spokesperson for the K-12 budget issues for the House Republican Caucus and am very pleased that we were able to hold the funding for our programs. Southeastern Kentucky students need the reinforcement that these early interventions provide.

Finally, our two year budget includes funding for a sav-ings account to ensure we invest in the future of Kentucky. Just like your family, our state must have a savings account should we fall on hard economic times. We must ensure our future stability by retaining enough of a savings to fund the important programs for our children, families, and businesses for generations to come.

Although I did not agree with every cut and veto, I do feel that this budget is the most comprehensive and fiscally responsible budget that the Kentucky General Assembly has produced in many, many years. We have got to improve our financial situation for our children and grandchildren. We have a long way to go, but I am grateful that we have taken the first step in the right direction.

As always, I welcome your comments and concerns on any issues facing our Commonwealth during the 2016 Regular Session. I can be reached through the toll-free message line in Frankfort at 1-800-372-7181, or you can contact me via email at [email protected]. Also, personal cell phone number is 606 524-2007. If you ever have any questions or if I can be of service to you; please do not hesitate to contact me.

Perry said joining with Grace Community Health Center would allow he and Watts to provide additional services to their patients which number approximately 10,000. “They will give us really good support. I think it’s a good fit,” Perry said.

Stanley said Grace Community Health Center officials would welcome “neighbors” in the medical field to provide pharmacy, X-ray, CT scans and other services.

“We meet on a regular basis with (Baptist Health Corbin

officials), so they know our process,” Stanley said, noting some of the space limitations the hospital is facing with some of its diagnostic opera-tions. “That is what we are trying to do is to have some space for them to actually expand also.”

Grace Community runs it’s own main clinic in Gray, and acquired Women’s Health Associates in 2014. It also has numerous medical providers in Knox, Clay, Leslie and Bell counties, and provides school nursing services for Clay, Bell and Leslie County School Districts, and the Corbin Independent School

disturb our neighbors.Years ago when my mother was bed-

ridden and still at home there was a neighbor who had a barking dog that barked day and night. It was hard for her to get proper rest because of the noise. The dog owner was cited several times. The noise would stop for a short period and then a few weeks later the barking would start again. This went on and on.

I was told the city took action on the dog lot owner some time ago. It may have worked for a while but now the noise is back. Now it should be elimi-nated once and for all. The noise below

my bedroom window is still there but it has only been a week since it started and I’m hoping the owner will realize the disturbance the puppies are caus-ing.

You think our neighborhood is the only one with this nuisance? No way. I have talked to several others who are experiencing the same situation.

The city needs to come down hard on these inconsiderate people. If bark-ing dogs are disturbing you, call the city and complain. Where I moved almost all of our neighbors had dogs but they kept them inside and walked them on a leash. There wasn’t a nui-sance problem. The same should be true here!

that a couple of years ago over concerns it could be dangerous to kids.

Owens said the division of waste manage-ment then tried to come up with another way to spend those funds and one of the ideas they came up with was to use the recycled rubber in chip seal paving projects.

“It takes specialized equipment to spread it but the state is going to pick up the total cost of the rubberized chip seal,” Owens said.

The county’s match would be the regular chip seal spread on the rest of the road.

“It is basically a research project for the state to see if the rubberized chip seal holds up better than the regular chip seal,” Owens explained.

The road that Whitley County officials are trying to get the grant money to pave is a por-tion of Tiny Branch Road.

If the Whitley County is selected to take part, rubberized chip seal would be applied to 1.5 miles starting at the beginning of the roadway. The rest of the road and part of Tiny Branch Spur would receive regular chip seal, Owens said.

“This is the first time the state has done this project so there are a few kinks that they need to get worked out,” Owens explained.

One kink is that the state is used to chip seal being applied in urban areas over existing hard surface roads. However, on gravel roads two and some-times three layers of chip seal must be applied.

Owens said the program would require the fiscal court to monitor the rubber-ized chip seal road docu-menting any changes to the roadway for five years.

The projected cost for the multiple layers of rub-berized chip seal on 1.5 miles of roadway is about $85,000.

Owens said that she sub-mitted the grant electroni-cally right after Monday’s fiscal court meeting, and she hopes to find out next month if Whitley County is selected to take part in the program.

Whitley County Judge-Executive Pat White Jr. said the state is trying to partner with counties that already have a successful chip seal program, which Whitley County does. Whitley County started using chip seal about seven years ago.

“I think this is also a good opportunity for us to get this road served with a hard surface that we may otherwise not be able to afford,” White added.

He said the state used a similar substance to patch potholes on the Exit 15 ramps a few years ago.

The fiscal court normally meets on the third Tuesday of each month, but because of the Primary Election Tuesday, the meeting was moved to Monday instead.

Also during Monday’s meeting, the fiscal court accepted the first reading of the 2016-2017 fiscal year budget, which starts on July 1, 2016.

The $15,055,299 budget is $488,081 higher than the proposed budget approved one year ago for the 2015-2016 fiscal year.

The largest amount of budgeted appro-priations is $3,368,002 for the general fund or 22.37 percent of total appropriations. This is up $230,746 over what was originally bud-geted for the current fiscal year.

The next largest appropriation in the 2016-2017 budget is the $3,040,158 jail fund, which accounts for 20.19 percent of all appro-priations. This is up $234,780 over what was originally budgeted for the current fiscal year.

White said that one of the biggest changes in this year’s budget is a drop in state road aid funding that comes from gas tax.

In addition, the fiscal court heard a presen-tation from Corbin Economic Development Director Bruce Carpenter Monday concerning the 600-acre Southeast Kentucky Business Park, which is a regional industrial park for Bell, Clay, Knox, Laurel, McCreary and Whitley counties.

Currently CTA Acoustics, Pepsi Cola Bottling Company/Breaktime Vending, and Kowa Kentucky are located in the park. Together they employee 750 people.

On May 12, officials closed on the sale of 10 acres of property where Grace Community Health will build a $5 million medical com-plex that will create 75 new jobs.

Because the business park is a multi-coun-ty regional park, participating government agencies split payroll tax revenue generated there. In 2014, each participating county received $27,825.52 in tax revenue compared to $13,515.82 that each participating county received in 2013.

“Obviously, as we are able to create jobs in that industrial park all the counties benefit,” Carpenter said.

The Corbin Economic Development Office, which oversees the park, receives 10 percent of all the occupational tax revenue from busi-nesses in the park and the county governments

each receive 15 percent of the occupational tax rev-enue.

“The reason we are here tonight is to thank you all. For the last nine years, you all have contributed a por-tion back to our operating office, $10,000 per year. We are here to thank you for that significant impact you have made on our office. We hope you all will continue to do that,” Carpenter said.

“We are going to every county. As we all know, dollars get very tight. In

order for our office to continue our marketing efforts, it is going to be very imperative that we are able to receive funding. We certainly appreciate what you all have done in the past and we hope that you all will continue doing that in the future.”

The Southern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce is the largest contributor to the office donating $65,000 annually.

In other business, the fiscal court:• Approved an emergency budget amend-

ment that will disburse $79,254 in addi-tional occupational tax revenue to the cities of Corbin and Williamsburg. This amount of collections was above what was initially budgeted.

• Adopted M&M Lane into the county road system. The road is 0.20 miles in length.

• Renamed Gary King Road as Elijah Cupp Road. White noted that the name of the road has always been a little confusing because King never actually lived along that road.

• Approved a reimbursement form related to the judicial center that reimburses the county $317,200 towards operating expenses at the facility. The fiscal court technically owns the facility, but the Administrative Office of the Courts reimburses the county for rent and operating expenses at the facility. The reimbursement money to cover security at the facility is paid separately and goes to the Whitley County Sheriff’s Department.

• Presented a $500 check from the Litter Lieutenants Program to the Corbin High School National Art Honor Society, which picked up trash along the roadways near Corbin Primary School.

Bena Mae’s Bena Mae’s

KitchenKitchen

Bena Mae SeiversPromises, promises ...

Sheriff Andy Taylor and Floyd the bar-ber are sitting on a bench in front of Floyd’s barbershop in Mayberry one

hot summer day. Andy says “well, as Mark Twain said, everybody complains about the weather but nobody does anything about it.”

Floyd answers, “Did he say that? Andy says “Uh-huh.”

Floyd says, “ I thought Calvin Coolidge said that.”

“No, no Floyd,” Andy says. “Calvin Coolidge didn’t say that,”

Floyd looks at Andy and asks, “what did Calvin Coolidge say?”

I don’t remember what Andy said after that, but history tells us that Calvin Coolidge was a good president who was the soul of brev-ity. He didn’t talk much and when he did it was always short and to the point. Hence the name “Silent Cal.” He made no extravagant promises, didn’t need to as the country was barreling along through a prosperous period.

In 1928, He was succeeded in office by Herbert Hoover whose team ran on the prom-ise of “a chicken in every pot, and a car in every garage.” I got to thinking about that and my curiosity got the best of me. So I went to google and asked how many cars were on the road in 1928.

The answer: 3,033. In the whole U.S. of A. And that got me to thinking, just how many homes in Corbin had garages? The answer, if I recall correctly, very, very few.

That led me to “a chicken in every pot,” which conjured up a picture of men in an old ramshackle pickup throwing chickens to houses on each side of the road.

Now if history serves me right, there were no zoning laws in Corbin that forbade its citizens to raise chickens in their backyard. So there was no shortage of chickens. We even had fried chicken for breakfast, let alone Sunday dinner three Sundays out of four.

But back to campaign promises of another day. In 1928, Herbert Hoover won the pres-idential race by a landslide by beating New Yorker Al Smith who was a democrat and also a catholic. Hoover warned the nation that Al Smith would turn the Holland Tunnel into a 3500 yard tunnel that reached all the way to the Vatican and that the White House would be a palace for the Pope.

He also said he would bring the nation to a much grander prosperity than it had ever known. And we all know what happened after that. Seven months into his presidency, the stock market crashed and the country went into The Great Depression that lasted for years. Millions of people were out of work.

I vaguely remember what we called “hobo’s” riding the rails and looking for jobs. I recall some of the times when they knocked on our back door begging for food. This happened often when they dropped off the train when it stopped in Corbin. It was a sad scenario of what was taking place all across the nation.

Mama always had something for them to eat and I remember us sitting on the back steps listening to their sad stories. It was a terrible time and it took the country years to get over it.

But Hoover wasn’t alone when he made promises he couldn’t keep. Just turn on your TV. It’s deja vu all over again.

Controlling mosquitos is challenging to say the least. You may even think you are fighting a never-ending bat-tle. With mosquito-borne diseases like the Zika virus becoming more prevalent, it is even more important to know how to take control of these pests around your home environment. Learning to do a few simple things could help protect you from more than the itchiness of a

mosquito bite.All mosquitos need standing water to develop

through their larval stages and that does not neces-sarily mean a lake or pond. It also includes bird baths, kiddie pools and even discarded soda pop cans. The key to controlling them around your home is to stop them from breeding in the first place.

Some things you can do include:• Drain and remove trash, bottles and any debris

that holds water.• Recycle any unused containers that could collect

water, especially old tires.• Change water weekly in bird baths, wading pools,

watering troughs and animal bowls.• Fill in holes, depressions and puddles in your yard.• Make sure your culverts and ditches are draining

properly.• Check and clean out clogged gutters to ensure

drainage.• Keep ornamental ponds stocked with fish.• Fix leaky hoses and faucets.• Drain water from flowerpots and garden contain-

ers.• Turn over wheelbarrows, buckets and other items

that collect water.• Adjust tarps covering woodpiles, boats and grills to

remove standing water.• Encourage natural enemies of mosquitoes, such as

warblers, swallows, martins and other insect feeding birds.

It is a good idea to start these practices early in the season. Just because the mosquitoes are not biting yet, does not mean that they are not developing.

For more information about mosquito control, visit http://www.uky.edu/Ag/Entomology/entdept/facul-ty/Brown/index_files/Page601.htm or contact the Whitley County Cooperative Extension Service at 549-1430; e-mail [email protected]; or visit the office located in Cumberland Regional Mall, 965 S. Highway 25W, Williamsburg.

Controlling mosquitos

Garrard CoffeyAgriculture and Natural Resources

It is often said that the habits children learn at a young age carry over to adulthood. Safe sun expo-sure should be included in those healthy habits.

We all need some sun-light to get our daily dose of vitamin D which helps our bodies absorb calcium. But being outside as little as 15 minutes is all most

of us need. Any change to the skin’s color, whether it is a sun-

burn or tan, could be the result of sun damage. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that even a few serious sunburns during childhood could increase your child’s risk for skin cancer later in life.

While anyone, regardless of skin color, can get sun damage, those with light skin and light eyes are the most at risk because their bodies have lower amounts of melanin in their skin. Melanin absorbs harmful UV rays before they cause skin damage. Kids with moles, kids who have parents with a tendency to develop moles or kids with a family history of skin cancer are also at an elevated risk of skin damage from the sun.

Help your kids practice sun safety this summer. Ideally, have them stay in the shade during the hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when the sun’s rays are the strongest. This is true regardless of whether it’s sunny or cloudy.

If your children must be outside, especially during peak sun times, make sure they apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going outside and reapply it every two hours. It should also be reapplied when leaving the water or after sweating to maximize protection. Sunscreen can be applied on children 6 months and older. The American Academy of Dermatology recom-

mends all kids wear a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.

When possible, encourage your child to wear pro-tective clothing. Many swimsuits and other clothing now have UV ratings on them. You can also test whether articles of clothing will block UV rays by placing your hand inside the clothing. If you cannot see your hand, it should provide some protection from the sun.

A baby’s skin is often thinner and has underde-veloped melanin. This means they will get sunburns easier than older children. It is best to make sure your baby stays in the shade when outdoors. You can keep them in the shade by using an umbrella or play tent.

If they must be exposed to the sun, make sure they are wearing clothing, including a hat, which can help shade their skin. You may want to dress your older children in long-sleeved clothing if the weather is not too warm which will give them added sun protection.

Remember the skin is not the only thing the sun damages. It can also damage lips and eyes. Have your children wear a lip balm with a 30 SPF and sunglass-es to protect their eyes.

Some medications, such as antibiotics and acne medications, can also increase the skin’s sensitivity to the sun. Sunscreen may not always protect the skin from the sun in these instances. Check with your doctor or pharmacist about your child’s medi-cations and how they could affect skin sensitivity to sunlight. Take extra precautions to keep your child covered up or shaded if they are taking one of these that could cause increased skin sensitivity.

For more information on family health and safety, contact the Whitley County Cooperative Extension Service at 549-1430; e-mail [email protected]; or visit the office located at 965 S. Highway 25W, Williamsburg.

Kids need sun protection, too

Williamsburg High School Band and Choir mem-bers held their annual Brown Bag Bash on May 5. The event, normally held around the courthouse square, was moved indoors to the gymnasium at Williamsburg High School due to rain. Local digni-taries, such as Williamsburg Mayor Roddy Harrison and Whitley County Judge-Executive Pat White Jr., cooked hot dogs and polish sausage that were sold to students and community members. The choir and band provided entertainment in the form of a free concert for those in attendance. Proceeds benefit the school’s choir and band programs.

A Legend in His Own Time

GOODNIGHT, DADDY

As children growing up, we looked upon our dad with pure adoration. He was tall and sturdy and his

muscles in his arms rippled as he moved. He always looked so spiffy in his neatly pressed uniform. We can still remember fighting one another over who got to wear his state police hat. We were so proud of him! Ev-eryone else had John Wayne on TV, but we had him in our living room.

Thank you Daddy for all the love you gave us and all of life’s lessons you taught us along the way. We will always treasure our memories of you and continue to carry a big part of you in our hearts every single day.

Thank you Dear Lord, for handling our dad, so gently when it was time for him to come home. He always said he simply wished to go in his sleep, as our Pappaw Eas-tin had several years before.

We will never forget that beautiful spring morning in May, Dad, when Jesus unexpectedly called you home. We didn’t get to say goodbye, so until we meet again one fine day in Heaven, we shall say Goodnight, Daddy, Goodnight, Sweet Prince.

Goodnight, Dearest Father, our Best Friend, our Hon-orable Role Model, our Precious Pap, and our Truest Hero, Goodnight Sweet Prince.

With All Our Love Always and Forever,Your Dearest Boys, Don, Greg and Stan West

The Church is losing it’s identity in the world today. It is being swal-lowed by it, pulled into its ways. The Church is virtually unidentifiable. We seem to have lost the edge. We don’t want to be left out, to be dif-ferent. We try to make everyone feel good and comfortable. Though

this sounds decent, we choose the world instead of Christ.

The first century church was separate from the Roman world in which it was placed. They were called Christians (Acts 17:11) identifying them with the Christ who was crucified just a few years earli-er. They were persecuted, hated for their faith. They lived a life different from the world around them; they followed the rules of faith passed on by the Apostles. This continued until Constantine made Christianity the religion of the Empire. History shows that every time the church surrenders to the pressures of the world it falls. Christians are called to be witnesses of Christ in the world.

Around the start of the 16th century, the Holy Spirit opened the eyes of the Roman Catholic lead-ers. Martin Luther wrote 95 thesis reacting to a church dogma. He opposed them on the door of the Castle Church at Wittenberg, Germany. He was reminding people that salvation is by faith through the grace of God (Ephesians 2: 8, 9). The sinner should not have to pay money for it. Salvation is by grace, not by works. He was burned alive at the stake. Many others in the hundred or so years following lost their life only because they chose to obey the teachings of Jesus Christ. Christians today must have the courage to stand up for their faith, to live according to the principles that Jesus their Lord and Master established. Christians are called to stand up for Him. Paul tells us that the attractions of the world are diametrically opposed to that of Christians (Galatians 5: 16, 17). We need to choose our side.

In the late 18th and 19th centuries, began a movement to restore the Church to its pristine condition based on the teachings and practices of the Apostles.

As one reads the New Testament, it is clear that Christians then focused on sound Christian liv-ing, and proclaiming the message about Jesus. If Christians chose to live according to New Testament principles, accepting to be different from the world, the world would be different. Jesus said of the disciples that they live in the world but were not of it. Christ’s Church is called to show Christ to this lost world. He wants to save them; He cannot unless they see Him in us. Jesus said that His disciples could not have both the world and Him. We are required to make a definite choice: Jesus or the World. We cannot have both.

The world is continually invading the Church. We seem to offer little resistance. We should stand out with visible differences in our words, thought processes, our expression love for the lost just as Jesus did for the women caught in adultery in John 8 verse 3. He said to her: “go and sin no more,” an act of compassion. There has to be transformation in the life of people who come to Him. Paul instruct-ed the Roman Church in these words: “Therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing and perfect will of God (Romans 12:1, 2). This is the only way this world will see the Church and possibly benefit from the Gospel. We need to set ourselves apart from the world in order to be able to reach people. We cannot give in to the world’s demands and pres-sures and be the representation of Christ on this earth. We have to live by a different standard, one visibly different from that of the world. The world is hungry for a Church that stands on the ideals held by the Restauration Movement, that promotes a Christ centered Gospel and a message (Jude 3) powerful enough to turn this world upside down as it was the case in Thessalonica in Acts 17: 6.

With only days remaining before post-season play begins, area baseball teams are busy making final preparations on the field. Assuming weather does not force cancel-lations for the remainder of the week, all coaching staffs will have at least one more opportunity to see their teams in action before tournament play begins.

The Corbin Redhounds started their week off with a 4-0 win over Middlesboro on Senior Night Monday. After the victory, which put the Hounds at 18-14 on the season, Head Coach Cody Philpot said, “We have played better in the last couple of weeks. This was a good win for us, especially on Senior Night. I feel like we are trending back in the right direction. We are making plays, and we have some guys who are stepping up. Hopefully, we will get to play a little more before the district tournament.”

When asked about his team’s attitude head-ing into the postseason, Philpot explained, “Our guys trust and have confidence in them-selves. We’re just trying to not put too much pressure on, and stay relaxed. When you get to postseason play, whoever can handle the pressure usually comes out on top.”

Philpot added that the Hounds are not over-looking anyone moving forward, stressing that his team will have to come out and play well against Williamsburg in the first round of the district if they want to advance on to this year’s 13th Region tournament.

Speaking about the competition in the dis-trict and region this season, Philpot said, “The region as a whole has been pretty wild. There have been quite a few upsets. There are usual-ly two or three teams that are pretty much the clear-cut favorites, but this year is different. Everybody knows that you are going to have to show up and play well. You can’t overlook anybody. Everybody seems to have at least one guy that is capable of beating people on the mound.”

The Whitley County Colonels also began the week with a win, defeating Leslie County 7-1 Monday evening to improve to 19-11 on the year. After the win, Head Coach Kyle Adams said, “It seems like we’ve been a team all year long that will only play from the third or fourth inning on. We’ve been able to get things going a little earlier the last few games, though. We’ve been playing well defensively, so everything for us is going to come down to hitting the ball. We have to make contact.”

When asked how he is feeling about things overall heading into the postseason, Adams said, “I’m confident, and the players are con-fident going into the tournament. These are the games that mean the most. I would trade all of our wins for that one district win come Monday night, and I think that we’re ready. We’ll be there, and we’ll be playing as hard as we can.”

Adams said that he expects to see South Laurel start their ace pitcher, Braden Miller, on the mound in their first round game, but he still feels good about the Colonels’ chances.

“Our kids know what kind of pitcher he is,” Adams said of Miller. “South is more confident with him on the mound, because he gives them the best chance to win, but we’re looking forward to the match up. We’ve beaten good pitchers before. It’s just going to come down to hitting the baseball. If we do that, then we’ll be fine.”

The number four seed in the 50th District tournament, Williamsburg, will be looking to pull off the upset against top seeded Corbin in round one and advance to region. The Yellow Jackets have shown that it can be done, nearly beating the Redhounds in the regular season, but they will have to take come ready to play to the best of their abilities.

Head Coach Bryan Hopkins is hoping that his Jackets will come into next week’s tour-nament ready to take care of business. If they do, then he knows they can end up contending for a district title.

“It’s hard to judge these kids,” Hopkins said of his team. “They are a good group. They’re talented, and they have the opportunity to do great things. When they show up, they’re unbelievable. But when they don’t, we might as well tell the other team that we’re taking the day off and just give them the W.”

Hopkins said that if he sees his players have the right attitude when they step off the bus before any given game, he is very confident that they will come away victorious. He saw that winning attitude before last week’s game at Clay County, which the Jackets went on to win by a final score of 6-3.

“They have the potential,” Hopkins contin-ued. “We all know that they are capable. They see that in themselves, but there are just times when they don’t have the mental toughness to be able to push through a bad situation.”

Moving into the postseason, Hopkins said he is trying to constantly remind his team that there are no guarantees. “There is nobody that is just overpowering this year,” he said. “So everybody has an opportunity. It just depends on who shows up. I’m trying to get them to understand that they do have a chance. The only ones that can do it is them, though.”

Finally, the Lynn Camp Wildcats were victorious earlier this week as well, defeating Bell County at home 6-5 to improve to 11-17 on the year. The Cats will finish out their regular season schedule later this week before hosting the 51st District tournament next week. As the #3 seed, their first game of the tourney will be against Pineville next Tuesday night, May 27.

The 50th District baseball and softball tournaments will begin on Monday, May 26, at South Laurel High School, with the c hampionship games being contested Tuesday. See next week’s edition of the News Journal for coverage from both district tournaments.

Long list of congratulations, plenty of good luck wishes

through this week’s sports

section to get more details on each of the events that I am about to men-tion here, but in my column this week I just wanted to take a moment to personally say “congratula-tions” and/or “good luck” to several different area teams and athletes. So, here goes…

Congratulations to Corbin High School’s Jeremy and Jordan Elliott on finishing up another fan-tastic season of bass fishing at last week’s KHSAA state championship tournament on Kentucky Lake in Gilbertsville. Overt the course of two days, the Elliotts caught a total of eight fish with a combined weight of 18 lbs, 4 oz. That was good enough for a 33rd place finish out of 64 teams. Congrats on getting to represent your school at state, guys! Best of luck in the future!

Congratulations to all of the Corbin archers who got to travel to Louisville last week and compete in the NASP national tournaments. Several local kids stepped up and performed quite well on this big stage, so they should be very proud. Keep up the good work guys and girls!

Congratulations to the Corbin High School boys and girls tennis teams, who also got the oppor-tunity to represent their school at the state level over the weekend, competing in the 2016 KHSAA tennis team state championships in Lexington. The boys were unfortunately beat out in the first round by North Oldham, but the girls advanced all the way to the semifinals with victories over South Oldham and Henry Clay. They were defeat-ed in the semis Sunday morning by eventual defending state champs McCracken County.

FILE PHOTOSALL ROADS LEAD HERE: Jaclyn Jewell, Anna Grace Zehr, Chris Tan, Nikhil Krishna, Samantha Spady and Cora Stevens are half of the 12 local tennis players that will be making the trip to Lexington this week for the 2016 KHSAA singles and doubles state championship tourna-ments. The tourneys are scheduled to kick off tomorrow (Thursday) and run through Saturday.

The 2016 KHSAA state championship tennis tourna-ments for singles and doubles competitors will be held in Lexington this week, and 12 of our coverage area players will be involved.

On Thursday, Whitley County’s Chris Tan will be in action at 8:00 a.m. at the University of Kentucky’s Boone/Downing tennis com-plex. Williamsburg’s Hannah Thomas and Whitley County’s Anna Grace Zehr will also play their first matches of the day at 8:00 a.m. at the Shillito Park tennis complex.

Corbin’s Samantha Spady will be in action at 9:15 a.m. at Shillito, followed by team-mates Ellie Jane Carloftis and Jaclyn Jewell competing in the first round of the girls doubles bracket at 10:30.

Corbin’s Nikhil Krishna and Brady Keith will also be

competing in doubles action at 10:30 Thursday morning back over at UK, followed by the team of Zane and Seth Maguet taking the court for their first match at 11:45.

The final first-round match of the day will see Emily Morton and Cora Bo Stevens taking the court at 1:00 p.m. at Shillito Park.

Whoever wins their first round matches Thursday will advance to play again later that same day. Competition in all brackets will resume Friday at UK, and will con-clude there on Saturday.

Full brackets for each tour-nament are now available online at KHSAA.org.

The News Journal will pro-vide full coverage of the 2016 tennis championships in next week’s edition, including photos, results and comments from players and coaches.
