The county is seeking a declaratory judgment in Chancery Court that would prohibit Kelley A.
Mure from examining unredacted memos and e-mail ONE messages that were placed in her file "in anticipation of litigation," the lawsuit says. The suit says the documents are privileged as both attorneyclient communications and as work product, which is defined as documents "which would disclose the attorney's theory of the case or trial strategy" and thus are exempt from the federal Freedom of Information Act, according to a U.S. Department of Justice Web site. Mure was fired Oct. 5 based on what has been described as a loss of confidence in her.
She has asked to examine her personnel files, but some documents were heavily redacted. It is those documents Mure wants to see. But the county filed its suit Monday in an apparent attempt to head off any litigation Mure might initiate to obtain the documents. Until the suit was filed Monday, Mure was not represented by counsel. She has now retained Knoxville attorney Wayne Ritchie.
Mure declined to comment on the suit Wednesday, referring all questions to Ritchie. Attempts to reach Ritchie were unsuccessful. Mure came to Blount Coun- ty in October 2004 to head a department that is overseen by representatives of Blount County, Maryville and Alcoa. Her job was to coordinate emergency preparedness on all levels of manmade and natural disasters. Such efforts are virtually mandated by the federal government if local governments are to be eligible for federal funds in the event of a catastrophic event.
County Finance Director Dave Bennett is acting as Homeland Management director since Mure's firing.

Inmates with nothing but time on their hands in jails are using imagination and resourcefulness to create intricately designed arts and crafts, officials said. Crafty inmates use imaginations Many have artistic talents that have never been nurtured BY DICK COOK Chattanooga Times Free Press JASPER, Tenn.
Inmates with nothing but time on their hands in area jails are using imagination and resourcefulness to create intricately designed arts and crafts, officials said. Nanci Sims, the jail administrator for the Marion County Sheriff's Department, looked over an assortment of decorative arts her staff recently confiscated during a search of inmates' cells. "Why don't these inmates use this talent out in the world?" she said as she held up a dreamcatcher a weblike American Indian charm that is supposed to protect from nightmares made of threads from a washcloth and the rim of a plastic bowl lid. "The things we think of as trash, they make something out of. It's really ingenious." Inmates in regional jails regularly take materials smuggled into the facilities or acquired from within and transform them into art forms, law enforcement officials said.
Sequatchie County Sheriff Ronnie Hitchco*ck said he's seen dreamcatchers and other textile art made from towels or wash- AARP from B7 Some Democrats object to calling the $54 billion bill a deficit-reduction package when Republicans also are advocating $70 billion in tax cuts. Seeking more tax cuts than spending reductions, Republicans are increasing the federal budget's red co*ckE from B1 injured. Black had filed a civil lawsuit against the motorcycle's manufacturer seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages, according to court records. Federal prosecutors allege the lawsuit was part of a fraudulent scheme to collect money from Nanci Sims, jail administrator for shows a tattoo gun taken from some of the artistic talents of cloths. Some of the inmates in his jail apparently had a rudimentary understanding of the fermentation process, too.
"We used to feed the inmates fruit," Sheriff Hitchco*ck said. "They wouldn't eat it, but (would) hide it in a cup, let it ferment and make julep out of it." McMinn County Sheriff Steve Frisbie said he's seen a lot of handcrafted things, including crosses made from bed linens. What stands out in his mind, he said, is a motor-driven tattoo gun. ink, Democratic Reps. Jim Cooper of Nashville and John Tanner of Union City said.
Republicans say more tax cuts will aid the economy and boost federal tax receipts. AARP objects to three Medicaid proposals in the legislation: to raise co-payments slightly; to consider the last five years rather than three years of income in determining eligibility; and to bar the company. Black allegedly lied under oath "by concealing that he had engaged in an unsafe act at the time of the accident," court records state. When he wrecked, he was allegedly "performing a according to the FBI. He initially was charged with perjury and two counts of mail fraud, but the superseding indictment issued Tuesday Marion County Sheriff's Office, inmates in the jail.
She marvels at "They used parts from a transistor radio, part of a toothbrush and ink from a pen," he said. "After that, flags went up, and we started limiting things that the inmates could have in the facility." Jail administrators said that, try as they may to keep control, as long as trusties can go in and out of a jail, contraband will be smuggled inside. Sims confiscated a motor-driven tattoo gun in Marion County's recent shakedown. She said the design was similar to the one Frisbie found years ago. those with $500,000 or more equity in their homes from Medicaid eligibility.
Mary Liz Knish of AARP Tennessee said the home equity provision could force longtime residents in strong housing markets to sell their homes before they could get Medicaid benefits. Currently, states can seek reimbursem*nt of Medicaid costs from the estates of those with According to the new indictment, Black "did knowingly attempt to corruptly persuade and to engage in misleading conduct toward Jonathan Morgan by telling Morgan, keep your story. Whatever you said in your deposition, keep it' and you didn't see nothing, son, you said you was sitting there and all you know somebody hit your dropped one of the fraud charges. Motorized tools aren't necessary for jailhouse tattoos, William Poe, a Marion County inmate, said during an interview at the jail. Poe is awaiting transfer to the state penitentiary for violating parole on a conviction for manufacturing methamphetamine.
"I did this one in about two hours," Poe said as he thrust his right forearm out to reveal a 10- inch tattoo of a flaming skull. "I did it freehand, just out of my head, without any kind of pattern." Sims was curious what Poe used for ink. He shrugged his shoulders and offered no explanation. Then he reluctantly admitted to using soot melted from a Styrofoam cup mixed with "either shampoo or baby oil." "It's just amazing the ingenuity these people have," Sims said. Marion County Sheriff Ronnie "Bo" Burnett said he was relieved that recent shakedowns at the jail didn't turn up weapons or drugs.
The handcrafted items his staff found ranged from dice made with dried toilet paper to a pipe made from a real corncob and a straw. "No facility is totally secure," Sheriff Burnett said. "We've got people coming in and out of here on work release, and they will bring things in." real estate assets, but homeowners do not have to sell their homes while they are alive and living there. "The more that we cut the Medicaid program arbitrarily, the more that people are going to be hurt in this state," Knish said. Richard Powelson may be contacted at 202-408-2727.
Black's alleged statements toward Morgan on Sept. 22 were part of a scheme to influence Morgan's testimony and "hinder, delay, and prevent the communication to a law enforcement officer of information relating to the commission of a federal offense," the indictment states.
