commemorating the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. headline Pikeville
College’s Winterfest celebration Jan. 20-25.
The week’s activities get under way on Monday, Jan. 20, Martin Luther King
Jr. Day. A special ceremony celebrating the life of Dr. King will be held in
Booth Auditorium at 2 p.m. The Rev. Gene E. Layne of the Church of God
M.P.G. of T., and Bishop Nathaniel Collins Sr. of Wando, S.C., will be the
featured speakers. Students from Pikeville College’s music program will also
perform. On Tuesday, Jan. 21, Bishop Collins will be the keynote speaker for
the weekly Chapel service at 11 a.m. in Booth Auditorium, with music by the
College’s Concert Choir. The community is cordially invited to attend both
services.
On Wednesday, Jan. 22, the Pikeville Concert Association will host the
Hungarian Symphony Orchestra at 8 p.m. in Booth Auditorium. Tickets will be
available at the door or for more information, call (606) 437-5407 or (606)
437-7878.
Winterfest activities continue on Thursday, Jan. 23, with an alumni art
exhibit and reception for the artists from 3-5 p.m. in the Marguerite Weber
Art Gallery located on level 2 of the Record Memorial Building. The exhibit
will include drawings, paintings and some sculptures featuring the works of
more than a dozen alumni from the Classes of 1966 through 2001.
Later in the evening, the campus community will have an opportunity to learn
more about the countries some of Pikeville College’s students call home
during a Roll Call of Nations. The ceremony will be held in Booth Auditorium
at 7 p.m.
Winterfest’s events culminate on Saturday, Jan. 25. The annual Hall of Fame
induction ceremony will be held at noon in Booth Auditorium. This year’s
Hall of Fame inductees are Clay Campbell, Autumn Damron Maynard, Joey
Osborne, and Andy Renick. The College will also pay tribute to two of its
most supportive fans, recognizing Hal Blake Amos, Class of 1958, and Dr.
Steven J. Shockey as honorary Hall of Fame members.
Though known throughout the mountains of Eastern Kentucky and southern West
Virginia as a basketball coach, Clay Campbell, a member of the Class of
1981, was an outstanding golfer in his college days, winning several
tournaments, including the Pikeville College, Cumberland College, and the
Asbury College Invitationals and the Lonesome Pine Invitational. He is the
first golfer to enter the Pikeville College Athletics Hall of Fame.
During her career as a Lady Bear, Autumn Damron Maynard, Class of 1994, was
twice named her team’s best defensive player, and as a senior was named the
team’s Most Valuable Player after averaging 22 points, five assists and
three steals. During her junior year, she averaged 15 points, five assists
and three steals. She was selected to the all-conference team in the KIAC
both of those seasons. Her career total of 1,464 points was good for fifth
place on the all-time scoring list upon graduation, and still has her among
the school’s Top 10.
Joey Osborne, a member of the Class of 1977, played both baseball and
basketball during his career at Pikeville College. He came to Pikeville with
Coach Wayne Martin and was a member of the 1976 team that played in the
NAIA’s national tournament. It was on the baseball diamond, though, where
Osborne excelled. A shortstop, pitcher and catcher, he was a four-year
starter for the Bears. His most memorable day as a Bear came in Frankfort
when he hit four home runs in a doubleheader against Kentucky State
University.
After graduating from South Warren High School in 1948, Andy Renick came to
Pikeville Junior College to play for another western Kentuckian, Bill
Houchins. During his two seasons here, the Bears made it to the Kentucky
State Junior College Tournament both seasons and the 1950 team won the state
championship. Renick was named to the all-tournament team both years. A fine
rebounder, he averaged 18 points per game in his career and started every
game the Bears played during his two seasons.
Winterfest excitement continues on Saturday afternoon when the Lady Bears
hit the hardwood against Cumberland College at 2 p.m. Then at 4 p.m. the
Bears take on Mountain State University. During halftime of the Bears’ game,
Pikeville College will crown its representative to the Mountain Laurel
Festival.
Remote parking and continuous shuttle service will be available for all
Winterfest events from the College gymnasium, located on the lower campus,
and behind the Mark III at the Landmark Motel. On Monday the shuttle will
run from 1-4 p.m. and from 7:15 a.m. to 8:45 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday. Shuttle service will be available from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday.

Pikeville College’s Elizabeth Akers Elliott nursing program has announced
that the May 2002 class of 16 nursing graduates achieved a 100 percent pass
rate on the National Council of Licensing Examination for Registered Nurses
(NCLEX-RN). Pikeville College nursing graduates remain above the national
and state averages on NCLEX-RN. The national pass average was 84 percent;
the Kentucky average was 90 percent.
“We are delighted to share in the success of our graduates. This is a
wonderful achievement for these men and women,” said Mary R. Simpson, RN,
Ph.D., chairperson of the Nursing Division. “I also want to commend the
nursing faculty – Karen Damron, Dwyna Dean, Karen Martin, Teresa Mauk, and
Jennifer Scott – who go the extra mile to individualize the instruction our
students receive.”
An associate degree in nursing from Pikeville College can be completed in
four semesters. Nursing coursework takes place in campus lecture, computer,
and skills laboratory classrooms and in many health care facilities. Upon
passage of the NCLEX, graduates are licensed for immediate employment as a
registered nurse. According to Dr. Simpson, the majority of the 2002
graduates are employed at Pikeville Methodist Hospital and Williamson area
hospitals as well as in Prestonsburg and Lexington.

Collaborative effort enhances medical
education, student opportunities
 Scott
Patterson is making the most of his learning opportunities. His desire to
help others and his interest in general surgery keeps the fourth-year
student at Pikeville College School of Osteopathic Medicine (PCSOM)
committed to fulfilling these goals.
Earlier this year, during his clinical rotations at Jackson Purchase Medical
Center in Mayfield, Ky., Patterson collaborated with general surgeon Alex
Argotte, M.D., and pathologist Henry Viles, M.D., on a case study of a
patient diagnosed with pure squamous cell carcinoma of the breast, a rare
type of breast cancer. The case study was published in the August 2002
volume of the medical journal Surgical Rounds.
“Dr. Argotte knew I was interested in going into general surgery,” said
Patterson. “He mentioned to me that he had some interesting cases to write
up to be published, which would be educational and show the resident
coordinators that I was serious about going into general surgery.”
Journals, like Surgical Rounds, are designed to help physicians quickly
review clinical cases. The articles vary, but include material on rare and
interesting cases or new techniques.
As a medical student, the process was a good experience, according to
Patterson. Under the guidance of Drs. Argotte and Viles, Patterson began
studying the patient’s history and physical examination and researching pure
squamous cell cancer of the breast in order to study diagnosis and
treatment. He was also responsible for reviewing mammography images and
pathology slides to use as picture illustrations. Patterson said it was
interesting to see how the process works to publish a paper, including
writing, proofing, and reviewing before final submission of the article.
“It’s unusual to have students published in peer-reviewed journals at this
level of their education. Those opportunities usually come during their
residencies,” said William Betz, D.O., FACOFP, and chair of PCSOM’s
Department of Family Medicine. “This was a great collaboration between a
medical student and adjunct faculty at our core sites. It’s not often you
see medical students collaborate on a journalistic endeavor to improve
medical education.”
