"JBCounty commission chair Joyce Avery takes oath from Criminal Court Judge John FowlkesThere was a changing of the guard at the Shelby County Commission on Monday &amp;#8212; and a changing of commissioners&amp;#8217; pay grade, as well. Joyce Avery, a second-term Republican from Arlington, assumed the chairmanship from outgoing chair Deidre Malone, a Democrat, and so felicitous and graceful was the transition that one could almost forget the modest acrimony that may have lingered from Malone&amp;#8217;s failed attempt back in July to get herself elected to a second consecutive term as chairman."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
