WAGONER -- A Wagoner County judge has reinstated the operating license of a Broken Arrow home day-care provider that faced being shut down for housing children during an ice storm-related power outage.

District Judge Darrell Shepherd on Tuesday issued an order overturning the state Department of Human Services' revocation of Krina Hendricks day-care license and reinstating it.

"I'm very relieved," Hendricks said. "I have no ill feelings toward the DHS."

DHS revoked Hendricks' license in April for alleged violations related to her keeping children during the widespread power outages after December's ice storm.

Hendricks kept children for several of her customers, who also did not have power and had no other alternative, for periods over more than a week during the outage.

In his ruling, Shepherd wrote that the decision to revoke her license did not give due consideration to the extreme hardships the power outage caused for everyone or the fact that Hendricks' record as a child care provider was unblemished.
