September 10, 1977 Around Adair with Ed Waggener The article below first appeared in the September 10, 1977 issue of the Daily Statesman. Topics included the hospitalization of Mayor W.R. Murphy, Dr. Jerry Oakley's move to Springfield, TN, a dispute over the color of coffee, Depp's Restaurant in Edmonton, and the budding medical career of then three-year-old Shawn Goodpaster. --Pen By Ed Waggener It has been disappointing to hear of the hospitalization of Mayor W.R. Murphy, who was taken to Adair Memorial Hospital Thursday morning. A spokesman said that Dr. Murphy is suffering from an "extensive hypertensive condition." He is under the care of his old friend and family physician, Dr. J.C. Salato. Someone has to be in attendance in Mayor Murphy's room at all times, his wife, Maggie Murphy, said. The mayor has been feeling much better at times, Mrs. Murphy says, but she is cautious about calling his overall condition improved. He is able to see some friends, however, such as Bill Cooley. Like Mayor Murphy or not, everyone in Columbia has to admit that he is a fighter. He never let an adversary get him down, and with the prayers of the people this week-end, he won't let this bout with high blood pressure get him either. A good man is leaving Columbia Sunday evening, September 4, there will be a farewell fellowship for Dr. Jerry Oakley and family at the Columbia Baptist Church. Dr. Oakley is taking a new pastorate at Springfield, Tennessee. He has been quite active and influential in the affairs of the community as well as those of the church. He will be missed by a great many here. The local Baptists have a public committee composed of Bobby Beard, Hunter Durham, Crawford Loy, Dr. M.C. Loy, and Delmer Upchurch, with Mrs. Hunter Durham and Delmar Jessie, Jr., serving as alternates. They are seeking a replacement for Dr. Oakley at this time. Coffee colored? Doug Beard, the college boy son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Beard of Lowe's Lane, described one of his teachers as having "coffee-colored" hair. The first time Mrs. Beard and Doug encountered the teacher at the same time, Mrs. Beard was surprised after hearing Doug's description to have met a blonde. "I thought you said she had coffee-colored hair," Mrs. Beard said. "Oh," Doug said, "I meant it's the color of coffee with cream in it." For amber pots of coffee There is no way to describe coffee color anymore. America has gone to amber colored coffee, at least that's what a lot of (out-of-Columbia) restaurant coffee is. There are two rules: Tea should be weak. Coffee, hot and black. But since the price increase, more and more restaurants (away from here, of course) are serving coffee-tinted, or coffee flavored water. A lot of the eating place coffee can be improved by adding anything - from chicory to black pepper to instant coffee which is sneaked in. There's still a bargain in coffee Despite the fact that coffee is often overpriced and understrength, there's still one place - maybe the only place in the world - where you can still get a 5-cents cup of coffee. And it's good. The place is Depp's in Edmonton. They don't give free refills, as many restaurants do; every additional cup costs another 5 cents, and each one is a cup of potent brew. Depp's is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Depp. Depp is a brother of Columbia's Phil Depp. The Depps are the parents of Nancy Loy, the wife of Adair County High School Principal Harry Loy. They learn early about malpractice Those astronomical malpractice settlements are obviously affecting the concepts even kids have about the practice of medicine. Don't wonder about doctors being cautious. Even play doctors feel the same. Shawn Goodpaster, the three-year-old son of Sheila Goodpaster and the grandson of Nell Rogers, Fortune Street, carries his toy doctor's bag with him everywhere. Young Dr. Goodpaster was obviously charming a lady in a local restaurant recently, and, to try to get the handsome little fellow's attention, she asked, "Honey, won't you give me a shot?" Shawn didn't answer at first, but after she begged for two or three times he answered, "No." She insisted on knowing why. "Well, lady," he said, "I just don't believe you're sick." Adair Dairymen to meet The Adair County Dairymen, Inc., fall meeting will be held at Adair County High School on Tuesday, September 20, 1977, at 7:00 p.m. All DI members and their wives and all other interested dairy farmers are invited to attend, according to local DI representative J.C. Yarberry. Tim Mogan, Louisville manager of KYANA Division of Dairymen, Inc., will be the speaker. Director James Keltner of Columbia will also report to the fall meeting.
