This exhibition traces the development of one of America's most innovative 20th century jewelry firms. From 1930 to the late 1950s Schepps' clientele included Coco Chanel, the Duchess of Windsor, Katharine Hepburn and Rosalind Russell, to name a few. The Washington Post named him "America's Court Jeweler," for the commissioned pieces for the White House families. Tomory Dodge explores what he calls the "collisions between nature and culture, or fantastic sites that seem located on the very edge of society's reach." The paintings emerge from the space between narration and abstraction, creating an ambiguous place that is neither completely abstract nor representational.

The present day Neyland Stadium, Shields-Watkins Field had its beginning in 1919. Col. W. S.

So what can you expect to see if (scratch that — make that when) you come to see the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Tennessee? Oh sure, like any Hall of Fame, there will be lots of old stuff and, of course, plaques recognizing Hall of Fame inductees for their achievements. But there's more than that. Here's your sneak peek at what's inside the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. Well, we'd better start outside. At one end of the Hall of Fame building is the biggest basketball you've ever seen. It's 30 feet tall and weighs 10 tons, and it sits on top of a glass staircase that looks like a basketball net. You can't miss it.

Old Crow Medicine Show plays old-time string music that's fresh, energetic and distinctly American. Still getting to know their instruments, the players first met in New York, rambled across Canada and then settled for a year in North Carolina to hone their sound: a twangy evocation of sideshow carnivals hopped up on corn liquor. With their slappy hambone rhythms and jug-band harmonies, these young upstarts sound like old pros. OCMS performs Friday, October 20, 8 p.m. Tickets are sale now at the Tennessee Theatre box office, all Tickets Unlimited outlets, by phone at 656-4444 or online.

I hold the strong conviction that the true breed of diminishing mountain folk of Southern Appalachia are among the most admirable people in the world. They are kind, gentle and compassionate, yet tough and resourceful. Above all, they are interesting. I have always loved these people, even as a child. I hunted, worked and visited with the "old people" of the community, including my four grandparents who were all descendants of the pioneers who settled in Big Valley in East Tennessee in the 1700s.
