Count 

(Continued from pg 1) 

The count was to go 

from midnight to midnight. 

As Carrie Ingram of 

CHOTA Community 

Health Services said, the 

information gathered 

would go to Barbara Raper 

of Douglas Cherokee 

Housing Authority and 

then to the coalition. 

Homeless Management of 

Monroe County would 

use information from the 

count for its 10-year plan 

just approved by the 

county commission, as Ingram 

mentioned. 

Raper herself could be 

seen shortly before 11 a.m. 

at the First United 

Methodist Church in 

Madisonville, where a 

soup kitchen was being set 

up. The soup kitchens 

were also operating at 

First United Methodist 

Church in Sweetwater; 

Vonore First Baptist 

Church; Center Presbyterian 

Church in Tellico

At Madisonville First United Methodist Church, 

Emma Tate and Mary Alice Huff help prepare food for 

the soup kitchen. 

Theresa Walker is ready 

to serve food at the soup 

kitchen held Thursday at 

First United Methodist 

Church in Sweetwater for 

the count of homeless 

persons. 

Church in Madisonville, 

Emma Tate, Mary Alice 

Huff, Susan Miley, Barbara 

Penland, and Laurie Mc- 

Neece were among those 

helping out. As McNeece 

said, the food being served 

included “all kinds” of 

soup, including taco, 

turkey noodle, and 

chicken noodle. Ham 

sandwiches, beans, crackers, 

and dessert were also 

served. 

“We’re on the ball,” said 

Raper, who estimated 12 

to 15 doing the counting in 

the county. Cheryl 

Leach was watching 

things in Sweetwater, she 

said, while Bethany

Faraone was helping out in 

Coker Creek. At the 

church in Madisonville, 

Boyd McClure, Ethel 

Reed, Gail Henley, as well 

as county Deputy Jimmy 

Fischer were helping out. 

Keiko McCarroll was putting 

together some of the 

“goodie bags” to be given 

to the homeless subjects. 

At First United 

Methodist Church in 

Sweetwater, Rhonda Ruebush 

was helping to put 

the soup kitchen together. 

Theresa Walker was ready 

to serve. And Connie 

Blomstrom and Regina 

Lawson of Sweetwater 

Area Ministries had at 

least two homeless individuals 

to interview and 

assist. 

Besides CHOTA and 

Sweetwater Area Ministries, 

the Branches of 

Monroe County and Douglas 

Cherokee had information 

tables set up at the 

soup kitchens. 

Persons doing the interviewing 

were instructed 

not to identify the homeless 

individuals found. The 

form given each interviewer 

asks questions including: 

where did subject 

sleep last night; if subject 

is unaccompanied run-

this kind of weather. 

Raper said the likelihood 

of the count being 

thoroughly accurate is not 

great, though it still provides 

a service. 

“They never get these 

accurate,” she said. “Lots

them. And lots of times 

they don’t want to be

Hiwassee Students 

Lend A Helping Hand 

Hiwassee College freshmen, Niya Ervin and Corie 

Scott, volunteer for the 2013 Point-In-Time Homeless 

Count as part of their Psychology Service Learning 

Project. 

for future development of 

housing and services. 

The Hiwassee College 

students became aware of 

the increasing homeless 

population in Monroe 

County and wished to volunteer 

their efforts in 

order to do something 

about it. The students 

participate in community 

service projects for all 

their psychology classes so 

when the opportunity 

arose to run the Point-In- 

Time phone bank for the 

Douglas-Cherokee Economic 

Authority in Monroe 

County, the students 

enthusiastically responded. 

Pat Hinton, Associate 

Professor of Psychology at 

Hiwassee College, stated, 

“I am extremely proud of 

my psychology students. 

They all stepped up to volunteer 

for the 12-hour duration 

of the phone bank. 

There were 13 students in 

total taking shifts 

throughout the day. Two 

students were there at 

6:50 a.m. in order to prepare 

and other students 

stayed until 7:30 p.m. to 

finish. It was a long day 

but well worth it!”


Fort Loudoun Electric: Death and Debts 

Greg Altum 

Fort Loudoun Electric 

Cooperative needs to be 

properly notified when a 

customer or member has 

passed away, said the coop 

board of directors’ during 

the Thursday meeting. 

At the meeting held at 

the FLEC building in 

Vonore, general manager 

Jarrod Brackett said the 

co-op had $12,456.44 in 

bad debts for December 

2012, which was not the 

highest ever but still substantial. 

That debt came 

from 57 different accounts 

and a lot of those were 

renters, Brackett also said. 

“We’re still pursuing these 

debts,” he stated. 

The co-op has had a 

problem with who should 

take over the paying of 

bills to the co-op when a 

customer or member has 

passed away, Brackett said. 

“We need documentation 

they are legal heirs” when 

a person is assuming the 

paying of bills for someone 

who has passed on, he 

added. The co-op is ready 

to work with customers 

any way it can, he added. 

FLEC had 270 new 

members in December, 

At Thursday's FLEC meeting, from left, directors 

Ralph Hall, Doug McJunkin,and Vernon Davis. 

Brackett reported, for a 

present total of 31,236, 

which is still a decrease of 

51 over the month before. 

“That does concern us,” 

Brackett stated. He said 

that more people moving 

in to reside with others 

could be a factor in the declining 

number. 

Sales were up in December 

2012, Brackett reported, 

although that 

could not be reflected immediately 

in the financial 

report. The reason for 

that, he said, was the timing 

of the billing. And as 

chairman D.C. Barefield 

said after the meeting, “we 

pay TVA for power and 

then we’re paid by the customer,” 

which has not 

happened yet. 

People were using more 

power in December, 

Brackett said at the meeting, 

and December had 

“three real clear cold pockets.” 

FLEC technically has 

$5,123,000 in construction 

projects going on right 

now, Brackett said, and 

most of that involves substations 

which are completed 

or near completion. 

Substations at Niles Ferry 

and Wellsville are completed 

while one at Rarity 

Point should be complete 

around May, Brackett said. 

FLEC has $1.5 million in 

construction earmarked 

for 2013, Barefield stated. 

“All in all, I think we’re 

heading in the right direction,” 

Barefield also said. 

“Our debt is coming 

down (and) we’re doing 

better than a lot of other 

cooperatives.” 

FLEC showed a 99.6 

percent reliability rate for 

2012, Brackett said at the 

meeting, “and that’s good,” 

demonstrating how 

quickly the co-op restores 

power. There had been a 

couple of recent instances 

where the co-op was notified 

of power outages and 

was able to restore power 

before the member notified 

the co-op. 

A big reason that could 

be done, he said, was the 

new advanced metering 

system recently installed. 

Thanks to it, Brackett 

added, the co-op now has 

3,056 meters to read instead 

of nearly 8,000 as it 

had before.

that President Obama violated 

the U.S. Constitution 

when he bypassed the 

Senate last year in filling

ased in favor of unions. 

In a move that was 

quickly condemned by the 

National Rifle Association 

on Friday, Congressional 

Democrats introduced a 

new and broader assaultweapons 

ban that included 

barring the sale and 

manufacture of the powerful 

firearms and banning 

magazines that hold more 

than ten rounds. The 

NRA said the measure, 

which was introduced by 

California Senator Diane 

Feinstein, was “an assault” 

on the Constitution. 

According to CBS 

News on Friday, millions 

of smokers will be priced 

out of health insurance because 

of tobacco penalties 

in Obamacare, which will 

permit health carriers to 

charge smokers up to 50 

percent higher premiums 

starting next year. The Affordable 

Care Act will penalize 

a 55-year-old smoker 

$4,250 more per year and 

a 60-year-old smoker 

nearly $5,100 on top of his 

or her premiums.

was “far from over” and 

was “a very serious air 

safety concern.” Following 

recent battery fires in 

at least two planes, the 

FAA grounded all the 787s 

in the country and authorities 

in Europe, Chile, 

Poland, Ethiopia, and 

India quickly followed 

suit. A dog who served nine 

tours of duty in 

Afghanistan and who was

sergeant before he was retired 

from the Army has 

been denied burial in a national 

ceremony, where 

the canine’s handler was 

interred, according to Detroit 

television personnel 

on Friday and a mother 

who said the dog had 

served in defense of the 

country alongside her son. 

“Mina,” a bomb-finding 

canine, was recently euthanized 

after serving three 

tours with Michigan native 

Army Sergeant Corey 

McCourt. 

NBC News said on Friday 

an Army wife who was 

denied membership last 

year at a Fort Bragg 

spouses club because she 

was married to a female 

army officer had been 

named Fort Bragg’s 2013 

“Spouse of the Year.” The 

vote came from an online 

election that included 

nominees from all military 

branches, handing the 

honor to Ashley Broadway 

in a runaway vote that 

beat all the others “by a 

country mile.” 

In Chicago, five persons 

died from shootings 

on Saturday, a day of 

bloodshed in the Windy 

City that began in early afternoon 

when a gunman 

killed one man and 

wounded another in a

died from bullet wounds 

near a South Side eatery, 

and later in the afternoon 

a man in his 30s and a 

teenager were shot to 

death. Police said there 

had been no arrests.

custom-made fuel was described 

as “so clean” the 

car would not require filters 

like other diesel-powered 

autos need, as the 

special bio-fuel, or “meatpacking 

residue,” or “organic 

glop,” was much 

more efficient than other 

traditional fuel. (First, a

Sessions Court Accelerates into New Year 

As January proceeded 

full speed toward February, 

Monroe County General 

Sessions Court

momentum on Tuesday 

into the budding first 

month of 2013. 

In court actions of last

shunting his case to the 

grand jury, waiving charges 

of theft over $1,000, five 

counts of burglary, and five 

counts of vandalism to the 

upper reaches of criminal 

court. 

James David Finley 

opted for grand jury consideration 

and waived his 

case from the lower court, 

which included two 

counts of theft over 

$1,000. 

Dylan Moser waived

Moore 


Charged by Monroe 

County Sheriff’s Deputy 

CJ Williams with possession 

of Schedule II oxycontin, 

with possession of 

Schedule II oxycodone, 

with possession of Schedule 

IV alprazolam, and 

with possession of unlawful 

drug paraphernalia was 

Brandy Kay Moore, 36, of 

Liberality Road. 

Williams said he spotted 

two vehicles parked 

beside Mount Harmony 

Baptist Church on Mount 

Harmony Road around 

12:30 a.m. As he entered 

the church’s parking lot, 

he watched a female run 

from the front of one vehicle 

to its rear. 

Speaking to the occupants 

of both vehicles separately, 

Williams said he 

heard different stories, 

and because the location 

was in an area of “high 

drug activity,” he asked for 

and received consent to 

search the vehicles and the 

occupants. 

In Moore’s vehicle, he 

discovered a pill crusher 

and a snorting straw, both 

with a white powder 

residue. Williams said a 

search of Moore’s purse 

turned up a prescription 

bottle for buspirone, but 

inside the bottle were two 

oxycontin 15-mg pills and 

12 alprazolam .25-mg pills. 

In a small pouch in the 

purse, there were six oxycodone 

hydrochloride 15mg 

pills wrapped in a 

plastic wrapper, Williams 

said. 

Tallent 


Charged by Monroe 

County Sheriff’s Sergeant 

Ray Haynes with two 

counts of assault was 

Daniel Lee Tallent, 33, of 

Niles Ferry Road, Madisonville. 

Haynes said he was dispatched 

to a home on Old 

Niles Ferry Road to investigate 

a disturbance on 

December 17, finding a female 

who said she had 

been thrown to the 

ground and assaulted by 

Tallent. He was angered, 

she said, because she had 

left him at another person’s 

home and returned 

to her home. 

A male who owned the 

home occupied by the female 

told Haynes that Tallent 

had kicked in a locked 

door and shattered a 

storm door. Tallent also 

struck the man, dropping 

him onto a coffee table, 

where he hit his head and 

went unconscious. 

Tallent was gone from 

the residence when 

Haynes arrived, he said.

Programs Available To Improve Farming 

Lazaro Novoa grew up 

in a rural community in 

Cuba, where his grandfather 

owned a small farm 

with sheep and goats. He 

moved his family to the 

Sweetwater area about five 

years ago where he purchased 

a one hundred 

eleven acre farm. Inspired 

by his grandfather, it was 

Novoa’s desire and that of 

his son, Anthony, to expand 

the diversity of his 

farm to include cattle 

along with sheep and 

goats. 

With only about 20 

percent of his land usable, 

Novoa and Anthony 

began their work in 

preparing the land for livestock 

grazing. Their 

neighbors noticed their 

hard work and effort and 

it was suggested that perhaps 

Novoa should check 

with the Natural Resources 

Conservation 

Service (NRCS) to see if 

any of the USDA programs 

could assist in his 

endeavor to improve productivity 

of his land. He 

decided to go to the 

USDA Service Center located 

in Madisonville to 

find out more about the 

programs his neighbors 

had told him about. 

“Everything started 

there,” says Novoa, “The 

need for a productive farm 

and the desire to work toward 

healthier pastures

motivated me to become 

involved in the NRCS Environmental 

Quality Incentive 

Program (EQIP) 

not only for the conservation 

of my land but for future 

enhancement of it.” 

To maximize the productivity 

of his farm, he 

has a portion of his fields 

set aside for a vineyard. In 

his vineyard he has planted 

muscadines from which 

he produces wine. 

Lazaro and Anthony 

foresee a bright future for 

their farm. Lazaro stated, 

“For the future I would 

like to see productive, fertile 

soil and be able to harvest 

the greatest 

percentage possible in hay 

for grazing of my livestock.” 

He goes on to say, 

“When I started five years 

ago only twenty percent of 

my land was usable. With 

the help of my son, we 

now have close to seventy 

five percent that is usable 

for pasture and hay land. 

We plan to continue to 

work on expanding the 

productivity of our farm in 

collaboration with the 

NRCS.” 

When asked if he 

would recommend other 

farmers or landowners to 

the NRCS he responded, 

“I would definitely recommend 

working with the 

NRCS. I am thankful for 

all the help I received and 

I would encourage other

they surely will be helped

Renovation - Plant Clovers in Grass Pastures 

Jonathan Rhea 

Monroe County 

Extension Agent 

A goal of Monroe 

County cattle producers 

should be to provide the 

nutrients their cattle require 

as economically as 

possible. Allowing the 

cattle to acquire their own 

feed through grazing is the 

most efficient way to provide 

these nutrients. The 

majority of cattle in Monroe 

County graze tall fescue 

or orchardgrass 

pastures. While these pastures 

provide good quality 

forage over a long portion 

of the year, they can be 

improved. One of the 

best and easiest ways to 

improvement is to add 

legumes such as red or 

white clover and annual 

lespedeza to these pastures. 

Benefits of clovers 

Adding clovers to pastures 

or hay fields can produce 

benefits in four ways: 

(1) Increased yield 

(2) Improved animal performance 

(3) Nitrogen fixation 

(4) More summer production 

1.Increased yield 

Research in Tennessee 

has shown that tall fescue 

overseeded with white 

clover, or a combination of 

white clover, red clover 

and annual lespedeza, will 

produce more forage than 

a pure tall fescue pasture 

fertilized with 60 pounds 

of nitrogen per acre. 

2. Improved animal 

performance 

Research has shown 

that clovers improve animal 

gains and conception 

rates. High quality feed is 

important for a calf to gain 

well and for a cow to rebreed 

after calving. 

Clovers are more digestible 

and contain more 

nutrients than grasses. 

Their presence in a pasture 

improves the palatability 

of the forage, which 

will increase the amount 

and quality of the forage 

the animal consumes. Research 

has also shown that 

including clovers in an endophyte 

- infected tall fescue 

pasture helps decrease 

fescue toxicosis. The result 

is an increase in weaning 

weights, milk 

production and conception 

rates. 

3. Nitrogen fixation 

Another characteristic 

that makes legumes a desirable 

component of a 

pasture is their ability to 

provide nitrogen. Rhizobium 

is a group of bacteria 

which enter the roots of 

legumes and form nodules, 

or knots. The bacteria inside 

the nodules take nitrogen 

from the 

atmosphere and put it into 

a form that the plant can 

use. Not only is the nitrogen 

available to the 

legume, but the surrounding 

grass plants can use a 

portion of this nitrogen. 

The ability of legumes to 

“fix” nitrogen is actually 

the result of this mutualistic 

relationship (beneficial 

to both) between the 

legume and the bacteria. 

The bacteria get energy 

from the legume, while 

the legume gets nitrogen 

from the bacteria. 

The amount of nitrogen 

fixed can differ according 

to the legume 

used. The amount can 

range from approximately 

50 pounds of nitrogen per 

acre each year for annual 

legumes such as crimson 

clover and annual lespedeza, 

to more than 150 

pounds per acre each year 

for alfalfa. Research has 

repeatedly shown that including 

a clover in grass 

pasture can replace about 

60 pounds of nitrogen per 

acre. If at least 30 percent 

of the ground area in a 

pasture is covered by 

clover, there will be no 

need to apply any nitrogen 

in the spring. If nitrogen 

costs 25 cents per pound, 

this would be a savings of 

15 dollars per acre each 

year. 

4. More summer 

growth 

The majority of the 

growth from cool season 

grasses such as tall fescue 

and orchardgrass occurs 

during the spring and fall. 

During the summer, high 

temperatures and drought 

cause these grasses to slow 

or stop production. Several 

legumes such as red 

clover and annual lespedeza 

can extend the 

grazing season and provide 

high quality pasture 

that is otherwise unavailable 

during this summer 

forage slump with pure tall 

fescue or orchardgrass 

pastures. 

Steps for renovation: 

(1) Remove excess pasture 

growth prior to renovation. 

This is best done by 

grazing down to a 1 - inch 

stubble in late fall or winter. 

Removing the excess 

forage will help ensure the 

legume seeds will come in 

contact with the soil. 

(2) Fertilize and lime according 

to soil test. 

Legumes require a 

higher soil pH and fertility 

level than do grasses. Fertilizing 

by soil test will ensure 

that legume 

establishment will not be 

limited by low pH, potash 

or phosphate levels. DO 

NOT APPLY NITRO- 

GEN. Nitrogen will stimulate 

grass growth, 

thereby increasing the 

competition with the 

legume seedling. 

(3) Select the proper 

legume. 

The major legumes 

used in grass hay fields and 

pastures in Tennessee are 

white clover, red clover 

and annual lespedeza. 

White clover is the most 

tolerant to grazing. Red 

clover provides greater 

forage yields and will be 

productive later into the 

summer than white clover. 

Annual lespedeza will provide 

more production during 

mid to late summer, 

especially on droughty 

hillsides. 

Be sure to plant certified 

seed of a recommended 

variety. Using 

certified seed is the only 

way to be sure of what you 

are planting. Check with 

Monroe County Extension 

Office for recommended 

varieties. Also be 

sure to inoculate the seed 

with the proper Rhizobium 

bacteria, or purchase 

preinoculated seed. This 

will ensure that the bacteria 

needed for nitrogen 

fixation are present during 

seed germination and 

seedling development.

Unemployment Numbers Climb In December 

Greg Altum 

Like most other Tennessee 

counties (all but 

two), Monroe County saw 

its unemployment rate rise 

for December 2012, according 

to figures provided 

by the Tennessee 

Department of Labor and 

Workforce Development. 

Monroe County’s jobless 

rate came to 9.9 percent in 

December, rising from 9.1 

percent in November and 

12.1 percent one year ago. 

Out of a total labor force 

of 18,650, the county had 

16,800 employed and 

1,850 unemployed. 

“It’s a traditional thing,” 

said Jeff Hentschel, communication 

directors for 

the department. Schools 

close for the holidays, and 

manufacturing and construction 

both slow down. 

McMinn County saw its 

unemployment rate go 

from 8.3 percent in November 

(and 9.8 percent 

one year ago) to 9.0 percent 

in December. Out of 

a total labor force of 

23,540, that county had 

21,420 employed and 2,120 

unemployed. 

Loudon County saw its 




one year ago) to 6.2 percent 




24,010 employed and 

1,600 unemployed. 

Blount County saw its 




one year earlier) to 6.2 percent 




62,250 employed and 4,130 

unemployed. 

According to preliminary 

figures not seasonally 

adjusted figures, Tennessee 

saw its unemployment 

rate go from 6.9 

percent in November (and 

8.1 percent one year earlier) 

to 7.6 percent in December. 

Out of a total 

labor force of 3,129,800, 

the state had 2,891,000 

employed and 238,700 unemployed. 

The nation as a whole 

also saw an increase in its 

unemployment rate, 

though noticeably smaller 

than the increase for the 

state and most of its counties. 

According to preliminary 

seasonally unadjusted 

figures, the United States 

saw its unemployment 

rate go from 7.4 percent in 

November (and 8.3 percent 

one year earlier) to 7.6 

percent in December. Out 

of a total labor force of 

154,904,000, the nation 

had 143,060,000 employed 

and 11,844,000 unemployed.

Warren and Macon 

were the two counties in 

the state that saw decreases 

in their unemployment 

rates for December. 

Williamson County had 

the state’s lowest unemployment 

rate for December, 

coming in at 5 

percent. Lincoln County 

was the second lowest at 

5.3 percent, followed by 

Knox County at 5.7 percent. 

Scott County had the 

state’s highest unemployment 

rate for December, 

coming in at 16.8 percent. 

Obion and Lauderdale 

counties tied for second 

and third, coming in at 13.1 

percent each. 

Sixty-three counties 

had unemployment rates 

in December greater than 

five percent but less than 

10 percent. Thirty-two 

counties saw jobless rates 

10 percent or greater.

North Korea threatened 

South Korea on Friday, 

warning Seoul of 

“strong physical countermeasures” 

if the South 

participated in new 

United Nations sanctions 

aimed at punishing Pyongyang 

for its controversial 

December rocket 

launch. President-elect 

Park Geun-hye of South 

Korea said she would not 

tolerate any provocations 

by the North, but would 

push for continued dialogue. 

Emergency personnel 

in Egypt said on Friday 

that 110 persons were injured 

in clashes between 

police and protestors during 

rallies in Cairo marking 

the second anniversary 

of the revolution that 

overthrew the regime of 

former President Hosni 

Mubarek. The mainly liberal 

and secular opposition 

denounced Islamist President 

Mohammed Morsi, 

saying the goals of the prodemocracy 

uprising had 

not been met. 

Officials in Yemen said 

on Thursday the group’s 

number two leader died of

A radical Hindu nationalist 

party in India handed 

out kitchen knives and 

chili powder to women in 

the city of Mumbai on Friday, 

a response to the recent 

gang rape of a 

college-age female by five 

men on a city bus. The 

Shiv Sena Party said it distributed 

21,000 knives and 

had plans to hand out 

100,000 more. 

A nightclub fire killed 

at least 180 persons in 

southern Brazil, following 

a band’s pyrotechnics 

show that set the business 

on fire on Sunday, causing 

a mass melee toward exits 

to escape the blaze. Military 

police officials on the 

scene of the Kiss nightclub 

said the death toll 

would rise above 200, listing 

asphyxiation and trampling 

as primary causes of 

death in a crowd that 

numbered over 500.

Over the weekend, about

And according to biologists 

at Sweden’s Lund 

University on Friday, when 

dung beetles roll their tiny 

balls of excremental food 

across the sands of South 

Africa on a moonless 

night, they find their way 

by observing the glow of 

the Milky Way, using it as 

a navigational aid while 

traveling in a straight line. 

Even on the darkest of 

4651 New Highway 68 Madisonville 

nights, the beetles were 

described as “incredibly 

attuned” to the sky, watching 

the fuzzy streak of the 

galaxy in order to make a 

straight-line getaway from 

the dung heap and not circle 

back, where other beetles 

might try to steal their 

tiny ball of poop, intended 

to become a meal as far 

away from the heap as 

possible.

Tennessee Secretary of 

State Tre Hargett’s office 

has received inquiries 

about an official-looking 

notice from Corporate 

Records Service. It appears 

that these notices 

began arriving in mailboxes 

around January 22, 

2013. Corporate Records 

Service is not registered, 

affiliated, or associated 

with the Tennessee Secretary 

of State. 

The mailer is causing 

confusion for Tennessee 

corporations due to its appearance 

as an official 

document. Tennessee corporations 

are required to 

file annual reports with 

the Tennessee Secretary of 

State. Most corporations 

have also recently received 

annual report notices 

from the Secretary of 

State. 

Corporate Records 

Services is requesting a 

$125 fee. The standard fee 

to file a corporation annual 

report in Tennessee is 

only $20.

Wreck 


The second driver, who 

was operating a 2012 Ford 

F-250 pickup truck, was 

not injured in the collision. 

Russell identified him 

as 61-year-old William A. 

Roach of Tellico Plains. 

The accident happened 

around 6:30 p.m. 

According to Russell, 

Cheek’s 1996 Toyota 

Camry was eastbound on 

Fairview Road when it 

came out of a curve partially 

on the wrong side of 

the roadway. Roach, he 

said, attempted to steer 

the truck out of Cheek’s 

way and avoid the crash, 

but was unable to do so.

Customers may also call 

the Business Services Division 

at 615-741-2286 for 

more information. 

Reports of similar mailings 

have surfaced in other 

states including Florida, 

Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, 

Maine, New York, Texas, 

and Washington. 

The two vehicles hit 

head-on, but the Toyota 

continued to drift into the 

oncoming lane. 

Russell said Cheek was 

not wearing a seatbelt. 

However, Roach was 

buckled inside the Ford. 

Russell said he believed 

Cheek’s use of a seatbelt 

would have made a difference 

in the accident. 

It was unknown 

whether Cheek had been 

drinking or was under the 

influence of drugs. Russell 

said Roach had not been 

drinking nor using drugs. 

Blood tests were performed 

on both men, he 

said. 

No charges or citations 

were issued.

Antibiotic Resistance 

A Growing Concern 

Antibiotics, those wonderful 

drugs that fight bacteria, 

are losing their 

healing powers for growing 

numbers of people. 

The Tennessee Department 

of Health is working 

to educate Tennesseans 

that some antibiotics are 

no longer effective for 

some people due to antibiotic 

resistance, a condition 

that can be created when 

antibiotics are overprescribed 

or misused. 

“When we are not feeling 

well and visit our doctor, 

we may expect him or 

her to give us antibiotics 

to treat our illness,” said 

TDH Chief Medical Officer 

David Reagan, MD, 

PhD, a specialist in infectious 

diseases. “It’s important 

to know, however, 

that antibiotics are intended 

to treat bacterial 

infections, not viral infections. 

Since common colds 

are viral infections instead 

of bacterial, taking antibiotics 

can have dangerous 

side effects including causing 

allergic reactions, or 

unintended consequences 

such as decreasing their 

effectiveness when they 

are needed to treat bacterial 

infections.” 

The American College 

of Physicians estimates 50 

percent of the 133 million 

courses of antibiotics prescribed 

in a year are not 

necessary because they are 

given for viral infections. 

Other important reasons 

why antibiotic resistance 

develops are that patients 

don’t finish taking the full 

dosage prescribed for a 

bacterial infection or they 

give the unused antibiotics 

to someone else. 

“It’s important to finish 

the full dose of antibiotics 

your doctor prescribes,” 

Reagan said. “Take the directed 

amount each day 

and for the number of 

days as prescribed. For example, 

if your doctor instructs 

you to take two 

pills daily for ten days, you 

should not stop or cut 

back to one pill daily if you 

feel better in a shorter 

amount of time. If you 

don’t follow the prescription 

instructions exactly, 

bacteria can still be in your 

body and, if not treated, 

can become resistant to 

future antibiotic treatments.” 

It’s also important not 

to give unused antibiotics 

to others with similar illnesses. 

The person getting 

the drugs may not need 

them or may not get the 

dosage needed, and can 

also develop antibiotic resistance 

or suffer serious 

side effects. 

Antibiotics trace their 

history to 1928, when the 

first naturally occurring 

one, penicillin, was discovered. 

They gained widespread 

acceptance in the 

1940s, significantly reducing 

death and illness from 

many infectious diseases. 

Because of widespread 

misuse of antibiotics, the 

Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention now 

lists antibiotic resistance 

among its top public 

health concerns. To lean

The mission of the 

Tennessee Department of 

Health is to protect, promote 

and improve the 

health and prosperity of 

people in Tennessee. For

Habitual Vehicle 

Offender Apprehended 

Driver Taken From behind the Wheel, Arrested 

A Monroe County 

driver entered into law enforcement 

custody early 

Saturday morning, when 

police officers found him 

driving impaired with 

multiple driving violation 

convictions. 

Charged by Sweetwater 

Police Patrol Officer 

Danny Poe with habitual 

motor vehicle offender, 

driving under the influence 

(DUI), and driving 

on revoked license fourth 

offense was Billy Wayne 

Wright, 48, of Old Highway 

11, Sweetwater. 

Poe spotted Wright’s 

vehicle on Main Street 

around 3:30 a.m. and 

pulled in behind it, he said. 

The vehicle pulled into an 

apartment complex parking 

lot and Poe went past 

and pulled over just ahead. 

He said the vehicle came 

back out and went past 

him. 

Getting in behind the 

vehicle a second time, it 

pulled off the roadway 

Wright 

into another parking lot. 

Poe said he eased up right 

behind the vehicle and 

made contact with 

Wright. 

Wright smelled of alcohol, 

Poe said. He then 

checked Wright’s driving 

status and found his license 

revoked because of 

a DUI and because 

Wright was a habitual 

motor vehicle offender. 

Revoked convictions all 

were from Loudon 

County and ran from 1989 

to 1993. 

Wright was unable to 

perform sobriety tests because 

he told Poe he was 


sick. 

In another driving arrest, 

Tennessee Highway 

Patrol Trooper Cory Russell 

on Friday charged 

Garrett Marshall Hilb of 

Henderson Drive, Madisonville 

with third offense 

driving on suspended license, 

felony evading, 

reckless driving, speeding, 

and driving without insurance 

and without registration. 

Hilb ran from 

Russell on Highway 68 but 

Russell located his car on 

Skydome Road, arresting 

him.
