A rash of fires over the cold holiday weekend completely
destroyed two residences and a 4-unit apartment complex, leaving
several families without lodging, but fortunately, there were no
serious injuries associated with the fires.
On Thursday, December 23, the double-wide mobile home
residence of the Albert R. Maney family at 1201 Panther Branch
Road was completely destroyed by a fire of unknown origin.
Three units from Jamestown, along with the East Jamestown
and Allardt units responded to the fire, but were unable to save
either the structure nor its contents.
Another fire on Sunday morning, December 26 completely

the Fentress Co. Sheriff ’s
Department, Rescue Squad,
Ambulance Service, and Fire
Departments.
Miss Hawn was cited for
failure to show proof of

New Year’s Resolutions
What new year’s resolutions
should we make for the year
2011? The usual ones like trying
to exercise more, going on a diet,
or giving something up, just do
not seem to work that well with
most people. I very seldom get
past January before my determined resolutions have gone along
the wayside. Perhaps we should
make resolutions that are not so
demanding and that are more enjoyable for everyone. For example,
we could try to be more positive
and expect only good things to
happen to us; every day we could tell our spouse that we
love them; we could try to be a better listener and not do
all of the talking; we could say something nice to someone each day; we could pray, praise and thank God
throughout each day for all of His many blessings; and
we could try to live a better life and set good examples
for our family, friends and coworkers. Although making
and breaking our new year’s resolutions helps to show
us our faults and shortcomings, by following the love of
our Lord
and striving each day to be a better person, we will meet
with God’s approval.
I can do all things through Christ
which strengthen me.

Committee Releases Information Regarding
The New Proposed Jail For Fentress County
EDITOR’S NOTE:
The
following information was
released by the Fentress County
Jail Committee, following their
meeting on December 20, 2010.
The Jail Committee is
composed of
Bob Pile,
Chairman; Leonard Bilbrey,
John Galloway, Todd Burnett,
Bill Phipps, Ray Buck, Frank
Smith, Floyd Stephens, Tony
Choate, and Rodney Jones.
This news release is to provide
information regarding the new
proposed Jail for Fentress
County.
Open Letter to the Citizens
of Fentress County:
Of late, there have been many
rumors as to why or why not
Fentress County must have a
new jail/justice center. This is
something that has been
known and talked about for
years, with no action.
In order to dispel some of
these rumors and provide the
citizens with some of the facts
facing Fentress County the
following list of issues is
submitted
for
your
information.
It is a fact that Fentress
County is facing the high
probability of their current jail
being decertified by the TN
Department of Corrections
and still face that probability if
immediate corrective action is
not taken.
It is also a fact that the
courthouse was built in 1905
and
due
to
changing
regulations, responsibilities,
records requirements and work
load is now and has been
busting at the seams for both
work space and records storage
space. A courthouse annex has
also been looked at for years
and must in the near future be
addressed. It would be much
cheaper to add additional
space to the jail being built
rather than building a separate
facility or buying an already
existing building, should an
appropriate building become
available.
The public is invited to tour
the courthouse at any time to
see these problems for
those arrested told the
investigating officers that they
would ride around and look for
houses where it appeared that
no one was home, and they
would stop and one of them
would go to the door and
knock. If someone answered
the door, they would tell them
they were looking for someone.
If no one answered, they
would then try to make entry at
the back of the house and go in
and take jewelry, coins, guns, or
anything that was easy to carry
off.
Those arrested and charged
include:
Jerry Phillips, 24, of 223 Deer
Lodge Avenue, Deer Lodge,
TN, who was charged with 7
counts of Aggravated Burglary,
7 counts of Theft Over $1,000,
and 1 count of Theft Over
$500.
He is currently in
custody under $100,000.00
bond.
Stacey Blevins, 25, of 3114
Sheep Ranch Road, Robbins,
TN, charged with 5 counts of
Aggravated Burglary and 5
counts of theft Over $1,000.
She is currently in custody
under $50,000.00 bond.
Derek Nagy, 28, of 1500
Coal Hill Road, Sunbright,
TN, charged with 2 counts of
Theft Over $10,000 and 2
counts of Aggravated Burglary.
He is in custody under
$50,000.00 bond.

Commission Meets
In Busy Session
The Fentress County Commission met in regular monthly
session on Monday, December
20, 2010, and took action on a
number of items of business in
a busy, 90-minute meeting,
including approval of a $1
million loan for the Highway
Department;
approved
refinancing of the Allardt
Elementary School bonds,
approved a lease with Extreme
Sports Complex for a portion
of the old Landfill property,
and voted to apply for a grant
to establish a disaster shelter in
the West Fentress community.
With all members present,
and following the routine
opening
procedures
and
approval of the notary list, the
first item approved was the
appointment of Ryan Smith to
the Joint Economic Community Development Board, which
came on a motion by Gary
Peters, seconded by Lowell
Findley.
Following a brief discussion,
the commission approved a
motion by Bob Pile, seconded
by Donal Williams, to
authorize Highway Supervisor
Butch Blevins to borrow up to
$1 million to blacktop and tar
and chip roads, to be paid back
over a 5-year period at 4%
interest from Union Bank. This
passed with all voting for except
Billy Campau.
Rick Delaney with MorganKeegan then explained the
procedure for issuing General
Obligation Refunding Bonds in
the principal amount not to
exceed $1,550,000 to refinance
the Allardt School Bonds,
which would result in the
savings of some $225,000 to the
county, as well as reduce the
payback time by 4 years.
Leonard Bilbrey then moved
CHURCH OF CHRIST BIBLE CORNER
Phil Adams, Minister
This year you can think and do better.
Truth be known, probably all of us have room for improvement.
I know that there is a ton of things that I need be better at. And
even though I know this, change is diﬃcult. This year before
you make some promises to yourself (and to God !), you just
might want to think about it. This year I want you to do three
things.
1st Begin with a thorough self-examination. No change is
possible until you really understand just where it is that you are
beginning the process from.
2nd Look to a better source for your direction. It is high time
that you and I began to look to God for our guidance.
3rd Make the changes without delay. Time is our only truly
limited resource.
Only after we know where we are really at, and only after we
know where it is that we should go, can we make the changes
that we know that we should make. David sums it up all very
well in Psalms 119 verses 59 and 60.
“ I have considered my ways, and have turned my steps to your
statutes. I will hasten and not delay to obey your commands. “I made
haste and did not delay” Psalms 119:59-60 NIV

that the commission pass a
resolution authorizing the
issuance of the bonds, which
passed unanimously.
The commission also passed
budget amendments for the
Election Commission, Solid
Waste
Department,
the
Highway Department, and
Debt Service Fund.
Fentress County Chamber of
Commerce Executive Director
Walt Page then gave an
economic update to the
commission, and presented a
list of prospects wanting to
locate in Tennessee, but most of
those required either rail service
or close proximity to interstate
highway access. At this time,
Fentress County does not have
any buildings meeting the
criteria required.
On a motion by Bilbrey,
seconded by Findley, the
commission then approved
yearly reports as presented.
County
Attorney
Paul
Crouch then gave a report on
establishing term limits for
elected officials, stating that
term
limits
could
be
implemented if the county
wanted to go from their current
constitutional form of government
to
either
charter
government or metropolitan
government. He pointed out,
however that this would not
affect the offices of Circuit
Court Clerk or School Board
Member positions. He further
explained that to do either
would require a referendum
vote by the public.
Commissioner
Leonard
Bilbrey then made a motion
that no action be taken on this
matter, and his motion was
seconded by Bill Phipps and
passed without opposition.
Commissioner Gary Peters
said that the West Fentress Fire
Department was trying to raise
money to construct an
emergency shelter and they
might be eligible for a $300,000
federal grant, which would only
require a 9% local match, and
asked for authority to proceed
with the grant application,
which was approved.
They also passed another
resolution
to
authorize
application for a $1 million,
100% Disaster Funding Grant
for the construction of a new E911 facility which would
include
an
Emergency
Operations Center.
Following a discussion, the
commission
approved
a
resolution allowing the Extreme
Sports Complex to lease a
portion of the old landfill
property off Owens Road for
the development of a sports
complex, with the stipulation
made that the proceeds of the
sale of any timber which was
removed from the property to
go to Fentress County.
Following more discussion,
Bill Phipps made a motion,
which was approved, to
authorize the lease with
Extreme Sports Complex for
the 38-acre parcel.
The lease stipulates that if the
sports complex ceases to exist,
if feasibility studies show that it
cannot be built, the corporation
is dissolved or loses its tax
exempt status, it is understood
that the Lessor may declare the
Lease terminated and after six
(6) months, the buildings or any
improvements not removed
from the premises shall become
the property of Fentress
County.
Former County Executive
David Beaty then addressed the
commission, asking them not to
implement the proposed meter
fee tax, stating: “I feel that it’s
an unfair thing to do after the
recent property tax increase.
There’s no need for it, since you
have a surplus in your budget.”
Kristin Rosecrants addressed
the commission about the
Industrial Development Board
selling some of the former
county-owned buildings for as
little as a third of their value,
noting that one of the buildings
had been obtained with
$224,000 in grant money, which
would now have to be repaid.
Commissioner
Pile
acknowledged that there had
been an oversight at the time
the buildings were transferred
to the Industrial Board, which
was something that should have
shown up in a title search, if
one had been done.
Ms. Rosecrants said she felt
that Commissioners Pile and
Bilbrey
were
“basically
responsible for the $224,000”
since they were on the
commission through the whole
process and also when the
buildings were transferred, and
asked for their resignation,
stating “legal proceedings could
be taken.”
The commission then set the
January meeting for Tuesday,
January 18 rather than the
normal Monday, January 17
because of the Martin Luther
King holiday.
Commissioner Ray Buck then
made a motion, which passed,
that in the future, that future
committee
meetings
be
advertised in the Courier in at
least a business-card size ad
rather than the small legal type.
They also voted to advertise
for property for the newlyproposed jail complex, and also
voted to publish the findings of
the Jail Committee in the
Fentress Courier.
Executive Frank Smith then
presented a bill from B & W
Builders which they had
presented for a bid they had
submitted for work at the
UCHRA Office, requesting
payment as they alleged they
had submitted the low bid.
Commissioner Ray Buck
moved that the bill not be paid,
because the commission had
rejected all bids, and his motion
passed.
The meeting then recessed.
Rash Of Accidents
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE A-1)
about 5:30 p.m., a singlevehicle accident on the Wilder
Road sent two Wilder residents
to an out-of-town hospital for
treatment of injuries.
According to reports, Roger
Phillip West, 70, was reportedly
traveling East on the Wilder
Road when his 2005 Ford F150 pickup truck left the road
and
traveled
down
an
approximately
250-foot
embankment.
Mr. West, and a passenger,
identified as Martha West, 61,
were transported by ambulance
to Cookeville Regional Medical
Center for treatment of what
was described as non-lifethreatening injuries.
Another passenger in the
vehicle, identified as Roman
West, 18, was not injured in the
accident, which totaled the
pickup truck.
All three occupants of the
vehicle were reportedly wearing
seat belts.
The accident was investigated
by Tennessee Highway Patrol
Trooper Bill Sewell, assisted at
the scene by fellow THP Officer
Keven Norris, Fentress Co.
Sheriff ’s Office personnel,
Rescue Squad, Ambulance
Service, and Fire Department
personnel.
There were also numerous
accidents involving vehicles
having slid off the road, some
involving minor property
damage, but thankfully, no
accidents involving serious
injury or death.

Council Fails To De-Annex
Henbo’s, Accepts Resignation
Of Buster Stockton
The Jamestown City Council,
meeting in regular monthly
session on Monday, December
20, took action on a number of
items of business, including a
vote to apply for a $1 million
disaster grant to purchase new
fire equipment, and accepted
the resignation of Councilman
Buster Stockton effective
December 31, but were unable
to pass a resolution to de-annex
Henbo’s Convenience from the
corporate limits.
With all members present
except Joan Bailey, Mayor
Gwenith Duncan called the
session to order and welcomed
those attending.
Following a motion by Gene
Holt, which was seconded by
Charles Cooper and passed to
dispense with the reading of
the minutes of the previous
session,
City
Building
Inspector Bob Lane announced
that the Planning Commission
had
recommended
that
Henbo’s II Convenience be deannexed from the city if the
council did not wish to sell beer
inside the corporate limits, and
instructed the council that
although the resolution had not
been drawn up, and since it had
to pass on two successive
readings, that they could, if
they wished, pass it on first
reading this month, and then
pass on second reading in
January, and the resolution
would take effect in February.
Councilman Gene Holt said:
“I understand that the county
gave them a beer permit to sell
beer when in fact, they were
inside the city limits.”
Inspector Lane said that he
had researched this matter, and
could find no documentation
that Henbo’s was ever inside
the city, so therefore, this was a
moot point at this time.
Keith Conatser then made a
motion, which was seconded by
Gene Holt, to pass the
resolution
to
de-annex
Henbo’s, but when it came to a
vote, it ended in a 2-2 tie, with
Conatser and Holt voting for
and Buster Stockton and
Charles
Conatser
voting
against.
Amanda Mainord of the
Upper Cumberland Development District then addressed
the council, explaining an
opportunity for the city to
qualify for a 100% disaster
grant of up to $1 million due to
the straight line winds which
caused severe damage to our
area earlier this year. She said
that the city could qualify for
this grant through a fire
protection project, which
would allow the city to obtain
a new fire truck, 6 mobile
generators, a thermal-imaging
camera, and other needed
equipment,
and
asked
permission to apply for the
grant before the permit window
closed.
This
was
unanimously
approved on a motion by
Conatser, seconded by Cooper,
and passed with all four
members present voting for.
Tom Bennett of Bennett &
Associates Engineering firm
then addressed the council,
stating that the Wallace
Subdivision project was about
complete, and the city could
apply for a new sewer
rehabilitation project, which
would allow them to obtain a
$500,000 grant which would
92% grant and only 8% local
matching funds. He said that
no action had to be taken at
this meeting, but that they
needed to be looking at a
project to define to make the
application, which they could
do between now and next
month’s meeting.
The financial statement was
then read and approved,
showing a general fund of
$134,537.38, and utility funds
of $386,336.49 in the water
fund and $1,850,655.33 in the
gas fund, for total of all funds
of $2,371,529.20.
They then voted to pay
monthly bills in the amount of
$309,001.56, which came on a
motion by Cooper, seconded by
Conatser.

A Cup Of Comfort For Cat
Lovers
Edited by Colleen Sell
Reviewed by Lowell Norris
Around my house we are cat
lovers, so A Cup of Comfort
for Cat Lovers caught my
attention immediately. We
have two cats a Calico named
Mattie and a solid black cat
named Christmas. They are a
part of our family, just like the
kids. They run and frolic and
play and occasionally get into
some mischief.
When I read this book the
fifty stories in it hit home with
me and reminded me about
our cats and how much we
love them. Some of the stories
are truly extraordinary.
There is one about a cat who
saves her family from a tree
viper and a cobra that gets
into their house. This was a
military family and they were
stationed in the Philippines.
The stories in this book will
amaze and move you, even to
tears. Some of the stories are
about the healing power of
pets in our lives.
In one, (I don’t want to give
them all away) a man’s
daughter brings him a cat to
help revive him after he is
diagnosed with terminal
cancer. Everyone of the fifty
stories in this amazing little
book are extraordinary. I
think anyone who is a cat
lover
or
who
maybe
considering getting a cat will
be inspired by it.
The
book
is
also
informative. For instance, I
didn’t know that Lilly’s are
deadly to cats. It causes acute
kidney damage. If you are like
me and didn’t know this,
along with some other
interesting facts, I invite you
to curl up with your cat if you
are lucky enough to be blessed
by one and read this
wonderful little book. It is
ready and waiting at the

ISSUES FOR
CONSIDERATION
REGARDING NEW
JAIL/CRIMINAL JUSTICE
CENTER
EXISTING JAIL:
1. Authorized to house only 20
inmates. (Sheriff’s log on 1
Dec. 10 = 102 prisoners in
custody; 70 housed in other
jails; 32 in Fentress County.
Cost of housing inmates in
other counties is at least
$35.00 per day at the present
time and is expected to
increase to $55.00 in the
near future. 70 inmates at
$35.00 = $2,450.00 per day
cost to county. $2,450 x 30
= $73,500.00 per month cost
to county. $73,500 x 12 =
$882,000.00 per year cost to
county. 70 inmates at $55.00
= $3850.00 per day cost to
county. $3850.00 x 30 =
$115,500.00 per month cost
to county. $115,500.00 x 12 =
$1,386,000.00 per year cost
to county.
These are monies that
Fentress County must pay to
other counties for the
housing of our prisoners.
There should have been 12
more prisoners out to other
counties to be within
regulations.
2. Facility condition is very
poor. Built 1978. Poor air
circulation, plumbing is
inadequate and mostly non-
functional.
Most
mechanical equipment is
outdated and expensive to
maintain. No female or
juvenile housing other than
temporary holding cells (48
hours).
A jail study
completed by TN State this
year estimated that it would
cost $672,000.00 to simply
renovate the jail to remove
unsafe and unsanitary
conditions, but would not
increase the capacity of the
jail
or
fix
Sheriff
Department/911 operating
space.
3. Present rules of
the
Tennessee
Correctional
Institute require that any jail
renovation must meet the
standards of a new jail
facility. A renovated facility
would require additional
square footage for each
inmate, a separate book-in
facility, a multi-purpose
room
for
conducting
programs,
a
medical
examination room, an
outside exercise area, and a
sally-port for unloading
prisoners.
The present
location simply does not
permit such an expansion.
These
additional
requirements would not
permit the housing of
additional prisoners and
would result in the same
overcrowding
and
transportation
problems
which
currently
exist.
Further, the inadequacies of
the Sheriff ’s Department
and
911
Center
administrative
capacities
would not be addressed and
the overcrowding of the
courthouse offices would
still exist.
4. Cost
of
transporting
prisoners to and from out of
county jails is high.
Prisoners housed in other
counties have to be taken
there, brought here for every
court date, returned after
court, fed while out of their
cell and finally brought back
to be released. In some cases
our deputies must go to
transport our inmates to
doctors, hospital, etc. when
the need arises in other
counties. This situation also
creates dangers concerning
possibility of accidents and
injuries.
Between 15 Nov. and 1 Dec.
2010
the
Sheriff ’s
Department transported 18
prisoners to and from other
counties at a cost of
$2,627.00 for deputy and
travel cost for this 15 day
period.
$2,627.00 x 2 = $5,254.00
per month cost to county.
$5,254,00 x 12 = $63,048.00
per year cost to county.
SHERIFF DEPARTMENT:
1. Sheriff ’s Department has
little to no office space for
daily
administrative
operations, records or
evidence storage (3 small
offices and a closet for
evidence storage). These
small rooms are along
hallway and open to inmates
being moved along this
hallway for one reason or
other, creating security
problems. Some clerical
offices are located across the
street and scattered.
2. Intake (Booking) is located
in hallway at front doors,
again creating security
problems with visitors or the
general public being in the
hallway while prisoners are
being processed or taken or
out of the building.
3. There is no space for
prisoner interviews.
A
holding cell has to be used
for searches and clothing
changes which is normally
occupied, requiring the
additional movement of
inmates during this process,
creating additional security
problems.
4. Prisoners must be moved
outside to be taken to the
courtrooms located in the
courthouse.
“During
movement is the most
probable time of prisoner
escape or problems.” This
creates
more
security
problems for both Sheriff ’s
Staff and the general public.
5. The kitchen is totally
inadequate to support the
number of prisoners now
being housed on a daily
basis.
911 FACILITY:
1. Currently, 911 is located
with
the
Sheriff ’s
Department and handles all
county and city emergency
calls and dispatch of all
emergency response vehicles
to include City Police,
Sheriff Department, Fire,
Ambulance and Rescue.
2. Current 911 facility is not
secure from Sheriff Dept.
which causes distractions
and unnecessary access by
activities going on in the
Sheriff’s Dept. 911 needs to
be segregated from other
ongoing activities to be able
to provide effective and
prompt emergency response
to calls.
3. If the 911 facility is not in
close proximity to the sheriff
offices, a separate sheriff
dispatch center would have
to be built and staffed,
approximately doubling the
current 911 budget of
$170,600.00.
4. Grants may be available for
a major portion of building
a 911 center.
STAFFING:
1. Each jail position that is
staffed 24/7 requires 4.2
persons at an annual
approximate
cost
of
$30,000.00 per person which
includes salary, insurance,
taxes and all other costs for
a total of $126,000 per year.
2. A staffing study is essential
during the design phases of
the project to insure all
unnecessary positions (due
to layout of building) are
eliminated.
3. Eliminating a position due
to a building layout would
save
the
county
$3,780,000.00 over a 30-year
period.
LOCATION: No decision has
been made as to the building
location:
1. Building must be in city
limits of the county seat if
constitutional offices are
housed.
2. 10+/- acres will be required
for building/parking and
possible future expansion.
3. Adequate access roads
capable
of
frequent
emergency traffic.
4. Proximity to sewer and other
utilities is required.
5. Current county owned
property will be evaluated
for suitability first.
6. The county plans to
advertise
for
suitable
property within the city
limits or easily annexed in
order to be fair to all
landowners and then make
provisions for obtaining the
best value for the site.
COURTROOMS:
1. Public safety and prisoner
security is very poor in
present courtrooms. There
is risk any time a prisoner is
taken out of a secure facility
as it is presently done.
2. Public safety is a major
concern when moving high
risk prisoners. The only way
to secure the courtroom area
would be to screen everyone
entering the courthouse,
costing at least two full time
security officers and metal
detectors.
3. Existing courthouse would
be hard to secure without
interfering with normal
public office operation.
4. No separate entrance for
judges, court officers, jurors,
and the general public. The
brother of the guy whom the
judge just sent to prison
could be waiting at the front
door.
5. Separate
jail
and
courtrooms will lead to
expensive and long term
transport cost, manpower
costs, inefficiencies and
security risks. On 23 Nov., a
typical court day requiring
32 jail inmates to be brought
to court (4 female & 28
male) requiring several trips,
3 vehicles and 5 officers with
court ending about 6 p.m.
CIRCUIT COURT CLERK:
1. Clerk operations need to be
near sheriff offices and
courtrooms
for
daily
operations of warrant issue,
records
checks,
court
proceedings.
2. Present Clerk’s office is
inadequate for the increased
workload of today. The
office is very cramped and
overcrowded with little
records
storage
space.
Records are stacked from
floor to ceiling and not
secure. There is no security
for either the staff or the
records.
3. At least 8 to 10 trips back
and forth from the office to
courtroom on court days to
pull records, check files,
update information, answer
emergency situations is
typical.
4. The Clerk now has several
rooms of records stored in
the
courthouse
and
elsewhere throughout the
county
that
is
not
immediately accessible.
5. General
courthouse
overcrowding and secure
storage
space
has
tremendously increased over
the years and is now at a
critical point. Moving the
Sessions Judge and Circuit
Court Clerk offices could
allow expansion of the other
public offices in the current
courthouse and save the cost
of building or buying a
courthouse annex in the
near future.

Arrests
Made
1 of the Fentress Co. Fire
Department arrived, they
found a family trapped in one
of the upstairs apartments.
Two small children were
handed down to the firemen
and volunteers and a ladder
was then used to evacuate the
two adults, after which they
were all taken to Jamestown
Regional Medical Center to be
checked out for possible smoke
inhalation.
It appeared that the fire had
started on the southeast end of
the 4-unit complex near the
electrical entrance, but the
cause of the fire had not been
determined at press time
Tuesday afternoon.
Firemen continued to battle
the blaze for several hours, as
the fire spread to the attic
making it all but impossible to
extinguish, and the firemen’s
efforts were directed to keep the
fire from spreading to adjacent
structures.
There was another fire which
destroyed an outbuilding
Sunday in the Clarkrange area.

residents to decide whether to
build Cookeville General in the
first place. And in the 1990s, it
took three referendums for
residents to decide whether to
maintain ownership of the
hospital or sell or lease it. The
debate over the hospital has
often been contentious, but
when it’s viewed over a
continuum – over the events of
the past 60-plus years – it’s
easier to understand why there
were differing opinions. A lot
was at stake.”
From 2008 to mid-2010,
Clemons conducted well over
100 interviews with 45
Cookevillians associated with
the hospital and combed
through more than 50 written
sources, including 64 years’
worth of newspaper coverage
Pictured left to right: Matthew Brady, Triston Brady, Brian Brady, of the hospital by the Putnam

From the beginning, the project
was meant not only to
illuminate
an
important
portion of Cookeville’s history,
but to do it quickly, while there
were members of the original
5 Generations
New Book, The People’s Hospital,
Chronicles History Of CRMC
Book release coincides with
hospital’s 60th anniversary
(COOKEVILLE,
Tenn.,
Dec. 1, 2010) – How the people
of Cookeville helped their
public hospital navigate the
often-stormy political and
financial waters of change in
health care is a story as full of
intrigue, suspense, heartache
and joy as any other major
event in local history.
And now there’s a book
chronicling that sometimes
turbulent history. The People’s
Hospital: A History of
Cookeville Regional Medical
Center, 1950-2010 traces the
origins of the city-owned
hospital, which began as a 15bed private clinic near the town
square in 1921, to its status
today as a regional referral
center.
“The transformation in
health care in this country since
World War II is mindboggling,” said local author
Laura Clemons, who was
commissioned
by
The
Foundation at CRMC to
research and write a history of
the hospital to be released in
time for its 60th anniversary
this December. “It’s really
nothing short of a revolution,
and it played out in every large
city and many rural areas like
ours throughout the country,
changing our lives in numerous
ways.”
Telling the story of a hospital
is a rare form of local history,
and yet hospitals play a huge
role in the life of any
community. That’s especially
true when the hospital is public,
said Clemons, because its
origins and fate are inextricably
linked to the community that
owns it.
“I took on this project in part
because it’s an inherently
interesting topic – it’s about life
and death,” Clemons said. “But
it was also a way to learn more
about Cookeville’s history. To
understand how we came to
have a hospital in the first place
meant understanding what the
city was like in the mid-1900s,
when the radical shift in health
care began.
“When the people of
Cookeville decided to build and
operate their own hospital in
the late 1940s, knowingly or
not, they laid the groundwork
for huge change in this city,”
she said. “I believe the case can
be made that that decision
rivals only the one that resulted
in Tennessee Tech University.
Those two sectors of society –
health care and higher
education – have since become
industries, and they’ve helped
make Cookeville the city it is
today.”
Cookeville bought its first
hospital from the surgeon who
built it, William Howard, in
1927, because the hospital was
on the verge of bankrupting its
founder. From then until 1950,
the city contracted with nurses
to run the hospital. It wasn’t
until construction began on its
replacement,
Cookeville
General on the west side of
town, that the city hired a
professional trained in hospital
administration. Since then, 17
men and women have served as
administrators.
“I came to this story
objectively; I didn’t know much
about hospitals or health care
before beginning the research,”
said Clemons. “So a lot of
things surprised me. The fact
that the first hospital in
Cookeville was located on
Broad Street -- and was used
from 1921 to 1950 – surprised
me. The fact that it wasn’t the
first hospital in Putnam
County, given Cookeville’s
population and its position as
the county seat -- surprised me.
The first hospital here was a
private facility, St. Raphael
Mission in Monterey, which
served patients from 1914 to
1943.
“But I think what surprised
me most was the fact that
history really does repeat
itself,” she said. “The fate of the
hospital has been subject to
two major public discussions
that culminated in multiple
referendums. In the 1940s, it
took two referendums for the
Cookeville General staff still
living.
"Our Foundation Board of
Directors realized how easy it is
to ‘lose’ the history of an
institution,” said Gary Curto,
executive director of the
Foundation. “When the last of
the original seven physicians,
Dr. J.T. DeBerry, passed away
in 2007, the board members
agreed that the time had come
to start gathering our history,
before more of it was lost.”
The resulting book, a
hardcover 128-page edition,
chronicles the growth of the
hospital since the 1920s and
contains more than 250
photographs. The People’s
Hospital is on sale at the
CRMC Auxiliary Gift Shop,

Jail Committee Releases
Information Regarding The New
Proposed Jail For Fentress Co.
Open Letter to the Citizens
of Fentress County:
Of late, there have been many rumors as to why or why not
Fentress County must have a new jail/justice center. This is
something that has been known and talked about for years,
with no action.
In order to dispel some of these rumors and provide the
citizens with some of the facts facing Fentress County the
following list of issues is submitted for your information.
It is a fact that Fentress County is facing the high probability
of their current jail being decertified by the TN Department of
Corrections and still face that probability if immediate
corrective action is not taken.
It is also a fact that the courthouse was built in 1905 and due
to changing regulations, responsibilities, records requirements
and work load is now and has been busting at the seams for
both work space and records storage space. A courthouse
annex has also been looked at for years and must in the near
future be addressed. It would be much cheaper to add
additional space to the jail being built rather than building a
separate facility or buying an already existing building, should
an appropriate building become available.
The public is invited to tour the courthouse at any time to
see these problems for themselves.
Citizens are also invited and encouraged to attend any and
all committee or commission meetings which are advertised in
the news media at least a week prior to the meeting dates.
ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION REGARDING NEW
JAIL/CRIMINAL JUSTICE CENTER
EXISTING JAIL:
1. Authorized to house only 20 inmates. (Sheriff’s log on 1
Dec. 10 = 102 prisoners in custody; 70 housed in other jails;
32 in Fentress County. Cost of housing inmates in other
counties is at least $35.00 per day at the present time and is
expected to increase to $55.00 in the near future. 70 inmates
at $35.00 = $2,450.00 per day cost to county. $2,450 x 30 =
$73,500.00 per month cost to county. $73,500 x 12 =
$882,000.00 per year cost to county. 70 inmates at $55.00
= $3850.00 per day cost to county. $3850.00 x 30 =
$115,500.00 per month cost to county. $115,500.00 x 12 =
$1,386,000.00 per year cost to county.
These are monies that Fentress County must pay to other
counties for the housing of our prisoners. There should
have been 12 more prisoners out to other counties to be
within regulations.
2. Facility condition is very poor. Built 1978. Poor air
circulation, plumbing is inadequate and mostly nonfunctional. Most mechanical equipment is outdated and
expensive to maintain. No female or juvenile housing other
than temporary holding cells (48 hours). A jail study
completed by TN State this year estimated that it would
cost $672,000.00 to simply renovate the jail to remove
unsafe and unsanitary conditions, but would not increase
the capacity of the jail or fix Sheriff Department/911
operating space.
3. Present rules of the Tennessee Correctional Institute require
that any jail renovation must meet the standards of a new
jail facility. A renovated facility would require additional
square footage for each inmate, a separate book-in facility,
a multi-purpose room for conducting programs, a medical
examination room, an outside exercise area, and a sally-port
for unloading prisoners. The present location simply does
not permit such an expansion. These additional
requirements would not permit the housing of additional
prisoners and would result in the same overcrowding and
transportation problems which currently exist. Further, the
inadequacies of the Sheriff’s Department and 911 Center
administrative capacities would not be addressed and the
overcrowding of the courthouse offices would still exist.
4. Cost of transporting prisoners to and from out of county
jails is high. Prisoners housed in other counties have to be
taken there, brought here for every court date, returned after
court, fed while out of their cell and finally brought back to
be released. In some cases our deputies must go to
transport our inmates to doctors, hospital, etc. when the
need arises in other counties. This situation also creates
dangers concerning possibility of accidents and injuries.
Between 15 Nov. and 1 Dec. 2010 the Sheriff’s Department
transported 18 prisoners to and from other counties at a
cost of $2,627.00 for deputy and travel cost for this 15 day
period.
$2,627.00 x 2 = $5,254.00 per month cost to county.
$5,254,00 x 12 = $63,048.00 per year cost to county.
SHERIFF DEPARTMENT:
1. Sheriff’s Department has little to no office space for daily
administrative operations, records or evidence storage (3
small offices and a closet for evidence storage). These small
rooms are along hallway and open to inmates being moved
along this hallway for one reason or other, creating security
problems. Some clerical offices are located across the street
and scattered.
2. Intake (Booking) is located in hallway at front doors, again
creating security problems with visitors or the general public
being in the hallway while prisoners are being processed or
taken or out of the building.
3. There is no space for prisoner interviews. A holding cell has
to be used for searches and clothing changes which is
normally occupied, requiring the additional movement of
inmates during this process, creating additional security
problems.
4. Prisoners must be moved outside to be taken to the
courtrooms located in the courthouse. “During movement
is the most probable time of prisoner escape or problems.”
This creates more security problems for both Sheriff’s Staff
and the general public.
5. The kitchen is totally inadequate to support the number of
prisoners now being housed on a daily basis.
911 FACILITY:
1. Currently, 911 is located with the Sheriff’s Department and
handles all county and city emergency calls and dispatch of
all emergency response vehicles to include City Police,
Sheriff Department, Fire, Ambulance and Rescue.
2. Current 911 facility is not secure from Sheriff Dept. which
causes distractions and unnecessary access by activities
going on in the Sheriff’s Dept. 911 needs to be segregated
from other ongoing activities to be able to provide effective
and prompt emergency response to calls.
3. If the 911 facility is not in close proximity to the sheriff
offices, a separate sheriff dispatch center would have to be
built and staffed, approximately doubling the current 911
budget of $170,600.00.
4. Grants may be available for a major portion of building a
911 center.
STAFFING:
1. Each jail position that is staffed 24/7 requires 4.2 persons
at an annual approximate cost of $30,000.00 per person
which includes salary, insurance, taxes and all other costs
for a total of $126,000 per year.
2. A staffing study is essential during the design phases of the
project to insure all unnecessary positions (due to layout of
building) are eliminated.
3. Eliminating a position due to a building layout would save
the county $3,780,000.00 over a 30-year period.
LOCATION: No decision has been made as to the building
location:
1. Building must be in city limits of the county seat if
constitutional offices are housed.
2. 10+/- acres will be required for building/parking and
possible future expansion.
3. Adequate access roads capable of frequent emergency
traffic.
4. Proximity to sewer and other utilities is required.
5. Current county owned property will be evaluated for
suitability first.
6. The county plans to advertise for suitable property within
the city limits or easily annexed in order to be fair to all
landowners and then make provisions for obtaining the best
value for the site.
COURTROOMS:
1. Public safety and prisoner security is very poor in present
courtrooms. There is risk any time a prisoner is taken out
of a secure facility as it is presently done.
2. Public safety is a major concern when moving high risk
prisoners. The only way to secure the courtroom area
would be to screen everyone entering the courthouse,
costing at least two full time security officers and metal
detectors.
3. Existing courthouse would be hard to secure without
interfering with normal public office operation.
4. No separate entrance for judges, court officers, jurors, and
the general public. The brother of the guy whom the judge
just sent to prison could be waiting at the front door.
5. Separate jail and courtrooms will lead to expensive and long
term transport cost, manpower costs, inefficiencies and
security risks. On 23 Nov., a typical court day requiring 32
jail inmates to be brought to court (4 female & 28 male)
requiring several trips, 3 vehicles and 5 officers with court
ending about 6 p.m.
CIRCUIT COURT CLERK:
1. Clerk operations need to be near sheriff offices and
courtrooms for daily operations of warrant issue, records
checks, court proceedings.
2. Present Clerk’s office is inadequate for the increased
workload of today. The office is very cramped and
overcrowded with little records storage space. Records are
stacked from floor to ceiling and not secure. There is no
security for either the staff or the records.
3. At least 8 to 10 trips back and forth from the office to
courtroom on court days to pull records, check files, update
information, answer emergency situations is typical.
4. The Clerk now has several rooms of records stored in the
courthouse and elsewhere throughout the county that is not
immediately accessible.
5. General courthouse overcrowding and secure storage space
has tremendously increased over the years and is now at a
critical point. Moving the Sessions Judge and Circuit Court
Clerk offices could allow expansion of the other public
offices in the current courthouse and save the cost of
building or buying a courthouse annex in the near future.
GOALS OF THE FENTRESS
COUNTY GOVERNMENT:
1. To provide a safe, secure and efficient correctional facility to
deter, incapacitate and rehabilitate offenders.
2. To avoid the financial liability of an inadequate jail facility.
3. To avoid the expense and inefficiency of housing inmates in
other counties.
4. To provide a secure and efficient judicial facility.
5. To alleviate the overcrowding in non-judicial and public
offices in the present courthouse and provide the offices
efficient office space.
6. To provide a modern and efficient law enforcement and 911
center.
7. To present a modern and efficient governmental
infrastructure to encourage economic development.
8. To accomplish these goals cost-effectively.
PUBLIC INPUT:
1. All citizens of Fentress County are invited and encouraged
to attend any and all Jail Committee Meetings to express
their concerns and contribute to the input of this decision
making process. Meeting dates and times are published
both by radio and newspaper at least one week prior to the
meeting.
2. Citizens are also encouraged to tour both the jail and the
courthouse to access the conditions of these facilities for
yourself.
3. A website is planned in the near future with this and more
information and will be updated throughout this building
process. The website address will be published in the media
as soon as it is established. Arrangements for those without
web access will also be made at that time.

Former Monterey Police Chief
Gets Four Year Sentence
EDITOR’S NOTE: The
following article is being
reprinted with permission from
Dale Welch and the Hilltop
Express.
Former Monterey Police
Chief Tim Murphy didn’t get
the pre-trial diversion that he
had requested.
Instead,
Criminal Court Judge David
Patterson handed down a fouryear-sentence.
Murphy
pleaded guilty in September of
this year to Official Misconduct
and Theft of over $10,000
before Criminal Court Judge
David Patterson. The charges
were brought into court at that
time “by information,” by
passing an indictment or
presentation before a grand
jury.
As part of that sentence,
Murphy is to repay the town
$25,800 of the money that he
pled guilty of stealing from the
town. He will have to serve 90
days of his sentence in the
Cumberland County Jail before
he can file a petition for early
release. He will be on parole
for the remainder of his four
years, or longer if it takes him
longer to pay back the money
he stole.
The sentence was an
agreement between District
Attorney Randy York and
Murphy’s attorney, Jonathan
Young, made during a break
during the sentencing hearing
last week. In that hearing
several family and church
members were lined up to
testify as character witnesses
for Murphy. However, only
two actually testified before an
agreement was reached and
approved by the Judge.
Monterey First Baptist
Pastor
Johnny
Bowman
testified that he had known
Murphy for 25 years, that
Murphy had been a Sunday
School teacher and even
chairman of the deacons. “I
knew he was struggling
financially,” Pastor Bowman
said. “I tried to help him
myself.”
District Attorney General
York asked if the pastor knew
that Murphy had made over
$50,000 for the past three years
that he had worked for the
Town of Monterey. The pastor
said that he did not know what
Murphy made.
Former Monterey Alderman
Richard Smith, who had served
with him as a deacon at the
church, was the second
character witness for Murphy.
Smith said: “I know he’s
sorry. I also know his children
has suffered.
It’s been
humiliating. His children has
suffered more than he knows.
Smith also testified that if
Murphy was put in jail, he
couldn’t make restitution.
General York pointed out that
over the last year Murphy
hadn’t attempted to pay
anything back.
“He’s not
paying now. What difference
would jail make?” General
York asked.
Smith said that Murphy had
trouble finding a job over the
past year since he resigned as
police chief, and had applied
for the church’s janitorial
position.
After the sentence was
pronounced, Murphy said:
“It’s been a long, hard road. I
came here today not expecting
any special favors. I apologize
to
the
Community
of
Monterey, to my family, my
church family. I have brought
a lot of shame on my wife and
children. Yes, I prayed to God
that he would release me of this
sin and here we are today.”
Murphy pled guilty to
stealing
missing
money,
weapons and other property
after a special audit by the State
Comptroller’s Office completed
a requested audit that revealed:
*$14,920 in cash “obtained
by the former police chief for
confidential narcotic investigation transactions. There was

Best Friends Sanctuary (Community Pet
Advocates) 2010 Accomplishments
by Donna Kiser, President
As another year begins, I’ve
taken time to reflect on our
accomplishments.
This is
important as there is an endless
amount of dogs, cats and
puppies in need. We need
encouragement to keep our
organization going. In 2010,
we transported 780 canines to
our no kill sister shelter in Ohio
where they find loving indoor
homes. This is 3495 since we
began this in April of 2006. We
will be transporting another
load this week that will increase
our grand total to over 3500.
We have spayed or neutered 224
pets this year for low income
house holds. Thanks to the
generosity of our citizens, we
have been able to finance some
of the expenses with Best
Friends funds. We are also
spaying the mother dog of any
litter that we take to our sister
shelter. This is a great service
to Fentress County as we are
greatly reducing the stray
population. Please spay or
neuter your pets to help the
community.
We have received grant funds
from Two Mauds and the Greg
Biffle Foundation for our low
income spay / neuter programs.
Our volunteers must apply for
the grants and then administer
the funds, make phone calls
and process the paperwork. We
have received grant funds for
use in 2011 from Two Mauds
and
The
Community
Foundation
of
Middle
Tennessee. We will continue to
apply for more grant funds.
We have also received grant
money from Wal-Mart, Sam’s
Club, memorial contributions
and personal contributions
have helped and are greatly
appreciated. All donations are
really appreciated, regardless of
amount.
We have been blessed to
receive pet food donations from
Nutro, Tractor Supply Co.,
Food Lion, and Wal-Mart.
This food greatly helps our
foster homes feed the unwanted
pets under their care.
We are members of UCAN,

Food Bank Report For November
Submitted by Don Padget
In November the Food Bank
served 865 families. These
families included 2,054 people.
There were 280 seniors, 586
children, and 1,188 adults. It
was the largest month this
winter. We also had 29 new
sign-ups. But on November 23
we served 240 families which
was the second highest number
of families this year, and
probably since the food bank
started back in 1983.
We have been able to supply
a good amount food—thanks
to generous donations from
Wal-Mart, and purchases from
Second Harvest Food Bank
and Save-A-Lot Grocery. Savea-Lot also generously reduced
the price of some orders.
We have the same problem we
had last month—beer boxes to
pack in. We use beer boxes
because they have been
plentiful, they are an easy size
to carry out, and they are quite
regular in size, which makes
packing easier. We get most of
our boxes from Henbo’s but
lately they can’t keep up with
our demand.
I’m not recommending you
drink more beer, but I if you
do, ask the seller if they will
save boxes for the food bank.
And if you know another
source of boxes, please let us
know. If you who receive food
would return your boxes, that
would be a help.
We got a big shipment from
Second Harvest, including
U.S.D.A. surplus cheese, beef
roasts, and catfish which are
free. However, we had to
purchase nearly 20,000 pounds
of other food from Second
Harvest and we purchased 50
cases of peanut butter from
Save-A-Lot.
This has been a very generous
time of year. We received
almost $1,500 in local
donations and are very pleased
with the support we have in the
county.
December is already looking
like a big month, so we still
need your help—with money
and boxes. You can send money
contributions to the Fentress
County Food Bank, P. O. Box
508, Allardt, TN 38504, or give
them to any of the volunteers
who work there. If any of you
want to work with us, or visit to
see our operation, come any
Tuesday morning and you’ll be
welcome.
The covers are made of heavy-duty vinyl and include space
for you to write your personal or emergency numbers.

All friends and family are welcome
Did you have the perfect
Christmas? I did but it wasn't
the perfect Christmas as we see
in the movies or in the
magazines. What makes it
perfect is being with your
family and those you love and
knowing the real reason for
Christmas.
We know, as homemakers,
how we want to have the
perfect meal, the perfect gift,
the perfect tree, and on and on.
It started for me with the
perfect tree. I couldn't find my
Christmas tree. I had lost my
artificial tree. My daughter
gave me her old one last year
and I had discarded my old
tree. I kept telling her that I
couldn't find my tree and for
her to look at her house and see
if it was there. She couldn't find
it. A week before Christmas, I
opened a storage closet at her
house and found the tree. She
thought I had been looking for
my old tree, not her old tree.
After I started putting it up, I
remembered why she had given
it to me. One of the legs on the
stand was broken and you had
to prop it up. Last year it
worked fine but I had
something else there in that
spot this year. George said
rather than move that piece of
furniture just put it beside it.
My
two
youngest
granddaughters, Haley and
Sierra, helped me put the
decorations on. We were
laughing so hard as we watched
it lean a little to the right so we
moved some decorations to the
left and didn't put heavy ones
on it at all.
It is a charming little tree, but
George suggested I take it
down before the angel on top
breaks her neck.
Christmas morning I got up
to fix food to take to a
Christmas breakfast, when I
discovered my oven had went
out. There went all my oven
cooking for the rest of the day.
We still had a good meal. We
just changed plans. Our family
enjoyed our evening together
and had a good day.
I co-teach a Sunday School
class and there's one thing we
always talk about. "Each day
when we wake up, we have a
choice. We can have a good
day or we can have a bad day,
so we might as well have a good
one." There is always a bright
side to everything...even if we
need help finding it. Sometimes
it is not always easy.
Sometimes the stresses of the
world seem to bear down on us
as our minds are filled with todo lists, our trees get lost or
lean too far, our oven is broken,
we can't find something, a
loved one is sick, traveling is
bad with snow and ice, there
doesn't seem to be enough
money to buy all the perfect
presents, and for lots of
families --jobs are hard to find.
Sometimes our days feel
overwhelming and we wish we
could press a pause button and
just sit for five minutes with a
blank mind (women are
emotional thinkers).
I think Christmas Day
reminds us to treasure all the
gifts we enjoy each day in our
lives, things that are much too
special to fit inside a box or
stocking.
Treasure the memories and
the people in our life.
Snow is everywhere as I write
so lets make chocolate gravy.
Someone asked me recently
how I make it, so if you will
make the biscuits (my oven
won't work) I'll make the gravy.
It is a Southern recipe, right up
there with our biscuits and
cornbread.
Chocolate Gravy
1 cup sugar or Splenda
2 tablespoons all-purpose
flour
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 cup milk (may need to add
a little more if it gets too thick)
1 tablespoon butter
Combine everything except
butter in a medium heavy
saucepan. Bring to a boil over
medium
heat,
stirring
constantly
to
prevent
scorching. Reduce the heat and
stir for a minute more. It will
get thick fast. Stir in butter. I
like to tear up my biscuit first
then pour the gravy over it.
This will serve about 4 to 6
people or one Drucilla all day
long.
Haley was visiting with me
yesterday and George was
reheating something in the
microwave. When the timer
beeped on the microwave, she
said, "Poppy your food is
beeping." She told me last
week that she was going to be a
doctor when she grew up and a
teacher, then when her kids got
sick in her classroom, she could
doctor them and wouldn't have
to call the nurse. I like that idea.
Someone from Crossville
called me the other day about
the Lemon Bites recipe. She
just left a message. I returned
her call and left a message but
she did not call back. She just
said she had a question about
that recipe. It could have been
the question that someone
from Cookeville had. They
wanted to know about the nondiary whipped topping---it is
just cool whip. By the way you
can use other cake mixes if you
don't like lemon.
If you have a question or a
recipe to share, just give me a
call or e-mail me...931-8392313
or
[email protected] or
ask me on Face-book. I hope
all who got my cookbook enjoy
it. Thank you to everyone for
the nice comments and for
buying it. I still have books
available.

Clarkrange Teams
Post Wins Over Oliver
Springs And Oneida
Clarkrange’s Lindsey Crabtree guns a 3-pointer.

The Clarkrange Buffaloes

THP Reminds Celebrants: Don’t
Wreck The Holidays With Too
Much Cheer On The Roadways
REMEMBER: DRUNK
DRIVING. OVER THE
LIMIT. UNDER ARREST.
NASHVILLE
--In
conjunction with the National
Drunk and Drugged Driving
Prevention
Month,
the
Tennessee Highway Patrol will
be cranking up its enforcement
effort
throughout
the
Christmas and New Year’s Day
celebrations to find and remove
impaired
drivers
from
Tennessee roadways. State
Troopers will be conducting
more than 100 sobriety and
driver license checkpoints with
a clear message to motorists –
“Don’t Wreck the Holidays.”
THP is also participating in
the national campaign, Drunk
Driving. Over the Limit. Under
Arrest. “The Highway Patrol
will be working with law
enforcement officers from
hundreds of agencies across the
state and country to remove
impaired drivers from the
road,” Department of Safety
Commissioner Dave Mitchell
said. “It is our duty to ensure
the public’s safety through
education, regulation and
especially enforcement; we take
this responsibility seriously on
holidays and all throughout the
year.”
The 2010 Christmas holiday
period began at 6 p.m. on
Thursday, December 23, and
runs through 11:59 p.m. on
Sunday, December 26, while
this year’s New Year’s holiday
period will commence at 6 p.m.,
Thursday, December 30, and
will conclude at 11:59 p.m.,
Sunday, January 2, 2011.
The holiday season is one of
the deadliest and most
dangerous times of the year
due to an increase in impaired
driving. In 2009, 303 people
died in Tennessee traffic crashes
involving
a
driver
or
motorcycle rider with a blood
alcohol concentration (BAC)
of .08 or higher. That’s a one
percent decline from the 306
impaired driving deaths in
2008, and a 19.6% decline from
the 377 impaired driving deaths
in 2007. Nationwide, impaired
driving fatalities dropped from
11,711 in 2008 to 10,839 in
2009, a 7.4 percent decline.
“While the number of
impaired driving fatalities has
declined both nationwide and
in Tennessee, that’s not
enough,” said THP Colonel
Tracy Trott. “We will not
rest…we will not stop working
until drunk driving fatalities
become non-existent. Our
Troopers will spare no expense
to keep drunk drivers off the
road en route to saving lives this
holiday season. If we catch you,
we will arrest you.”
The National Highway Traffic
Safety
Administration
(NHTSA) states that in
December 2009, 753 people
nationwide were killed in
crashes involving a drunk driver
with
a
blood
alcohol
concentration of .08 or higher.
That was down from 888 people
killed in similar impaired
driving crashes in 2008.
During the 2009 Christmas
holiday period, six people were
killed in traffic crashes on
Tennessee roadways.
This
represents one death every 17
hours. Alcohol was involved in
33 percent of those crashes and
one of the five vehicle
occupants killed was not
wearing a safety restraint.
Thirteen people were killed
during last year’s New Year’s
holiday period 2009-10 and 23
percent of the fatalities
occurred in alcohol-related
crashes.
In 2009, there were 989 traffic
fatalities in Tennessee, down
just over five percent from 1,043
fatalities in 2008.
As of
December 16, preliminary
statistics indicate that 996
people have died on Tennessee
roadways this year, an increase
of 48 deaths (9 percent)
compared to 948 fatalities at
this same time a year ago.
If you are planning to drink
alcohol with family and friends,
there are several simple steps to
help avoid a tragic crash or
trauma and the financial costs
associated with an impaired
driving arrest.
• Plan ahead: Whenever you
plan on consuming alcohol,
designate your sober driver
before going out and give that
person your keys.
• If you’re impaired, call a
taxi, use mass transit or call a
sober friend or family member
to get you home safely.
• Wearing your seat belt or
using protective gear when on
your motorcycle is your best
defense against an impaired
driver.
• And remember, “Friends
Don’t Let Friends Drive
Drunk”. If you know someone
who is about to drive or ride
while impaired, take their keys
and help them make other
arrangements to get to where
they are going safely.
• Violators often face jail
time, the loss of their driver’s
license, higher insurance rates,
and
dozens
of
other
unanticipated expenses from
attorney fees, other fines and
court costs, towing and repairs,
lost time at work, etc.
Statistics for the 2009
Christmas and the 2009-2010
New Year’s Holiday period are

to bring JROTC to Dekalb
County high schools. School
officials are very receptive to the
program and the chapter looks
forward to supporting this very
worthwhile
program
and
adding it to those already
established in Fentress, Putnam
and White counties.
The
chapter provided the main
impetus for bringing JROTC to
Cumberland County high
schools in 2006. Unfortunately,
the program ended in 2009.
The focus on future successful
efforts was followed by a brief
summary of accomplishments
throughout
the
chapter’s
history by Linda Frazier. They
included the establishment in
2004 of an annual academic
scholarship to an outstanding
JROTC senior as well as the
implementation
of
the
MOAAHELPS program in
2008. MOAAHELPS provides
financial assistance to veterans
and their families and to
veterans organizations. This
program has assisted with rent,
utilities, transportation and
food. Working with the local
Veterans Service Office and
social service agencies, such as
Creative Compassion, Inc.,
Good
Samaritans
of
Cumberland County, and St.
Alphonsus Community Service,
the chapter has disbursed over

unemployment rate at 6.3
percent, up from the October
rate of 6.0 percent. Scott
County had the state’s highest
unemployment rate at 19.9
percent, up from 18.9 percent in
the previous month, followed
by Marshall County at 16.2
percent, up from the October
rate of 15.4 percent.
Figures released for Fentress
County reflected an unemployment rate of 11.1%, up .6%
from October’s rate of 10.5, but
down 1.4% from November of
2009.
Figures released for adjoining

Garden Quilt.
The family is very thankful
for your help.

Your New Year’s Resolution
A new year is a new chance to
make a difference. This New
Year’s, make it your resolution
to change a child’s life by

parent. Foster and adoptive
parenting classes in Cookeville
will begin in January.
“Every child deserves a family
and a place to call home,” said
Barbara
Grunow,
Youth
Villages director of adoption.
“It takes regular people –
moms, dads, single adults,
married couples, grandparents
– to become foster and adoptive
parents to children in foster
care who are waiting for a
home. Being a foster or
adoptive parent is such a
wonderful way to make a
difference.”
Youth Villages, a private
nonprofit organization, has
been providing foster care
services in Tennessee since 1992
through a partnership with the
Tennessee Department of
Children’s Services. Youth
Villages is looking for adults

counties, who want to make a
difference in a child’s life by
becoming foster or adoptive
parents.
Becoming a foster or adoptive
parent through Youth Villages
is free. The organization
provides free training for foster
and adoptive parents, as well as
free 24-hour support and
monthly reimbursements to
help offset the costs of adding a
child to your household.
Adoption through Youth
Villages is free, and many
children qualify for ongoing
adoption subsidies.
Youth Villages offers multiple
foster and adoptive parent
information sessions in January
and February. Information
sessions are set for Tuesday,
Jan. 4 at 5 p.m.; Thursday, Jan.
6 at 5 p.m.; Tuesday, Jan. 11 at 5
p.m.; Thursday, Jan, 13 at 5

Tuesday, Feb. 15 at 5 p.m.;
Thursday, Feb. 17 at 5 p.m.;
Friday, Feb. 25 at noon; and

training starts Jan. 11, 6-9 p.m.,
and continues Tuesday and
Thursday evenings.
Both the information and
training session will take place
at the Youth Villages Cookeville
office at 1420 Neal St., Suite
202.
To become a Youth Villages
foster or adoptive parent, you
must complete the Youth
Villages foster and adoptive
parent training, be single or
have been married for at least
one year, have adequate space
in your home for a child, show
proof of income and pass a
background check.
Youth Villages handles the
adoption process for foster
parents who wish to adopt.

foster and adoptive parent
information session or training,

Villages foster and adoptive
parent recruiter, at (931) 5256905.
