Across from Mynatt’s Funeral Home in Fountain City

By Betty Bean“You’re at the airport with

your wife and kids, getting ready to board a plane to Disney World. But when you get to the gate for the fl ight to Orlando, there’s an election, and a guy who’s never fl own before is elected pilot and citizens are com-pelled to get on

that plane …”This is how one Knoxville at-

torney described having pending cases in Chancery Court, Division II, where the newly elected and little-known Republican Clarence “Eddie” Pridemore will preside come Sept. 1.

Pridemore’s victory over re-spected incumbent Daryl Fansler, a Democrat, was a product of the GOP’s “Red to the Roots” project

and sent shockwaves through the local legal community.

“You hear it from every lawyer of every stripe who practices here, throughout the courthouse and out on the street and everywhere – ‘Oh, my gosh! What’re we going to do now?’ ” said David Buuck, Knox County’s chief deputy law director.

The city of Knoxville is await-ing several decisions in impor-tant cases pending in Division II, including Lamar v Knoxville, which challenges the city’s right to regulate billboards; Anderson and Wood ridge v Knoxville, an appeal of the city’s closure of Ben Atchley Street in Bearden; and , 584-9964Royal Properties Inc. v Knoxville, dealing with the fate of the Pryor Brown parking garage.

Arthur Seymour Jr. represents the Northshore Town Center de-veloper who intervened in a case fi led by county residents opposing a large mixed-use development

project inside the city.“All I know to do is forge

ahead,” Seymour said. “He says he’s going to judge’s school, so there’s that.”

At “Baby Judges’ College,” oper-ated by the Administrative Offi ces of the Courts in Nashville, Pride-more will have fi ve days of semi-nars, sign up for his $175,000-per-year paycheck and get fi tted for his robe (a standard choir robe will suffi ce). When he returns, Pride-more will immediately face Mo-tion Day, where dozens of lawyers present a wide variety of cases.

“If Eddie has half a lick of sense, he’ll sit there like a stone, nod his head and take cases un-der advisement. The problem with that is he’ll have to write opin-ions and will get swamped pretty quickly. His cases will drag, and complaints will start coming in,” said one very experienced attor-ney, speaking anonymously.

Most worry less about Pride-more than about those who will stand before him.

“I have cases where clients will be in front of a judge with no Chancery Court experience who engaged in the political process and had some issues regarding his personal fi nances. Without being critical of the chancellor-elect, it raises signifi cant questions about the manner and method by which we elect judges in Knox County,” said Greg Isaacs, who represents Lamar Outdoor Advertising.

Attorneys speaking anony-mously had less tactful takes:

“There needs to be a prelimi-nary threshold for who gets to be a judge. … You’re going to wonder why your children got taken away or why you lost your inheritance. … A chimpanzee could have won if it had an R behind its name. … An incompetent buffoon ran a stealth campaign a nd got elected.”

By Sandra ClarkKnox County Mayor Tim Bur-

chett has asked John Schroer, commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Transportation, for one fi nal extension on the TDOT grant for a “park-to-school” green-way connector in Halls. The grant expires Sept. 30, 2014, and Knox County has not begun work on the project.

Burchett called the project “im-

portant” beca use it links Halls El-ementary School to the existing g r e en w ay/s ide -walk pedestrian system in Halls and “complex” because construc-tion involves a wetland mitiga-tion on private property near

Walmart.Burchett assured Schroer that

he and his staff will work with Halls residents to resolve the prob-lems and get on with the project.

The greenway connector is de-signed to start at the back of Clay-ton Park, extend to and across Norris Freeway, proceed along the utility easement through the wetlands created by construction of the new Walmart and adjoining

shops, and terminate on Ander-sonville Pike at Halls Elementary.

Long-range plans call for the greenway to link Halls Elemen-tary and High schools, extending up to the Bob Temple North Side YMCA and over to the softball fi elds at Quarry Road.

Former state Sen. Jamie Wood-son secured the original grant, and Sen. Becky Massey has been working to get the fi nal extension.

Looking at Steve Hall’s defeat

It has been 20 years since a Knox County state representa-tive lost a party primary, but Martin Daniel made history when he upset incumbent Rep. Steve Hall on Aug. 7.

The last time that happened was in 1994 when Tim Bur-chett defeated then-incumbent Rep. Maria Peroulas in the same district.

How did Daniel do it?

Mayor Madeline Rogero reported progress on repairs at Fountain City Lake.

The city budget includes $250,000 for upgrades, with the initial contract on the Aug. 19 City Council agenda.

The lake will be drained and the leak in the earthen berm repaired, starting next month, with spring water to start refi ll-ing by the end of October.

Rogero promised consulta-tion with an engineer toward long-term solutions.

By Wendy SmithIn case there was any

question about it, atten-dance at last weekend’s East Tennessee Historical Soci-ety History Fair settled all bets − Knoxville loves his-tory.

We love to dress our pooches as historical char-acters for the annual “His-tory Hound” competition. We like anyone in costume, especially soldiers, and the loud sounds their weap-ons make. Since we enjoy sports, it’s no surprise that a Civil War-era baseball dou-ble-header featuring teams from Franklin, Roane County, Nashville and our own Knoxville Holstons was

a hit this year.We also appreciate

the things that make our Scruffy City unique − like Underground Gay Street.

This reporter has always been intrigued by the notion that the 100 block of Gay Street was raised to its pres-ent level back in 1919, and that the original sidewalks − now a story below the cur-rent sidewalks − still exist.

An ETHS presentation by Jan Larson to a standing-room-only crowd featured slides of Gay Street before, during and after the massive project to raise the street. The presentation took place in what was originally the ground fl oor of the Empo-

rium. Underground Gay Street is visible beyond the original glass storefront.

“This is the old street-level entry from when this was a furniture factory,” she explained. “Now, when you walk in from Gay Street, you’re actually on the sec-ond fl oor.”

The train and the river were both important for transporting people and goods into and out of town, and Gay Street was the most direct route between the two. But the street was a challenge, especially for those carrying goods, or wearing heavy dresses, be-cause it was a steep hill.

City leaders decided to

build a viaduct to even out the grade, Larson said. This was accomplished by build-ing a wall where the side-walk met the road on both sides, and fi lling it with dredge from the river. Sup-ports were built to hold up new sidewalks, and glass bricks were installed to give light to the area below.

In 2000, the street was renovated to bring the road up to current standards, and archeological treasures, like the original trolley tracks, were revealed.

The renovation also un-earthed the possibility of developing the long-buried sidewalks and original fi rst fl oors of the 100 block of

Gay Street.“I’m sure David Dewhirst

would be more than happy to receive input about what should be done, and ideas for how money might be raised to do it,” said Larson.

Jan’s husband, Bill Lar-son, provided tours of the east side of the under-ground, which basically encompasses the original fi rst fl oor of the Emporium. The sidewalk continues past

a courtyard between the Emporium and the Sterchi Lofts, and ends with a gate at the lofts. The tunnel is surprisingly well lighted by the courtyard and the new glass bricks installed during the 2009 renovation.

If a history fair could bring thousands out on a Satur-day afternoon, we can only wonder how popular Un-derground Gay Street might prove on a Saturday night.

Welcome back!Back to school is one of

my favorite times. I love the energy that is present at the start of the school year as teachers, parents and stu-dents are ready to get back to learning and making great memories.

I was fortunate to at-tend the fi rst day of school at Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Academy as staff members rolled out the red carpet to welcome return-ing students. I was a guest paparazzi with a mandate to capture the smiles and some not-so-happy faces of the students.

When I snapped the photo of principal Susan Espiritu hugging a child, I said to myself, “This is what it’s all about.” The look of happiness on the child’s face was price-less, and it was obvious that it was a genuine pleasure for Espiritu to see the child.

Learning in the class-room will always be a top priority in schools, but I also believe that children need to know that they are loved and supported regardless of their situation outside of the school building. The staff at Sarah Moore Greene created a lasting impression for their students with the red-carpet treatment and hosted one of the best back-to-school cele-brations that I’ve witnessed.

Former UT quarterback Sterling “Sterl the Pearl” Henton was there, pump-ing out dance tunes that set the pace for the morning. As students fi led from cars and yellow buses, they walked the carpet as cameras fl ashed, teachers gave high fi ves and hugs were shared.

guests at the breakfast. Other club members were

on hand to greet guests, fi ll drink cups and assist as needed. The event was a great time for everyone who attended.

■ Safety comes fi rst at Stewart RidgeExiting Stewart Ridge

subdivision has been a chal-lenge in the past, but thanks to a new 36-inch convex

mirror installed at the en-trance, residents can feel a bit safer when they pull out onto the main road.

Neighborhood coordina-tor Josh Anderson decided that a mirror would help everyone in the subdivi-sion and purchased it using funds from donations. The mirror was installed by An-derson earlier this month with the help of Bob Hey-dasch and Richard, Christie and Elijah Elliott.

Knoxville Greenways Commission chair Brian Hann had a full plate during his fi rst meeting as chief.

The commission last Tuesday heard updates on waterfront redevelopment and the city’s Bicycle Facili-ties Plan in addition to mul-tiple projects being overseen by the Parks and Recreation Department. Tops was the Greenway Corridor Feasi-bility and Assessment, for which discussion was so involved that Hann decided to schedule a workshop for commission members.

Also at the meeting at Lar-ry Cox Senior Center, Parks & Rec greenways coordinator Lori Goerlich reported that

the grant for an extension of the Sarah Moore Greene Greenway to the Knoxville Botanical Garden was not approved by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.

Other items discussed included connecting the Al-coa Highway Greenway to the University of Tennessee Medical Center, which could have a simple solution, and repairing the foundation on the Will Skelton Greenway, which will entail much more effort and cost. More study is underway.

for improvements at Mary Vestal Park. While the VCO and work crews from the Sheriff’s Offi ce have cleaned up invasive-plant growth ex-tensively along the greenway, there are maintenance is-sues. Also, Johnson empha-sized the need for extending the greenway, at least to Fort Dickerson Park along Blount Avenue if not all the way to the Tennessee River.

Dr. Fred Hurst often asks: What do you call the guy who fi nished last in his class in medical school?

Answer: “Doctor.”Pundits are worried

about newly elected chan-cellor Clarence “Eddie” Pridemore. And we agree he has a high bar to maintain customary Knox County standards.

Pridemore just cannot pay out bonuses for courses not taken; and he must not spend county money to buy a Blu-ray player and discs for his “downtime.”

He must never use a county P-Card at JJ’s Mega Wigs on Gay Street and then, when caught, claim it was for gasoline.

No, no, Eddie. You can-not talk to John Valliant on a cell phone from the bench

Sorry, Stephen King. Move over, Edgar Allan Poe.

The horrors that sprang from those fertile imagina-tions have been eclipsed by real life: The “voting dead” are at large in Knox County.

What else explains the brain-dead decision made by more than 30,000 of our fellow citizens to vote for the manifestly unqualifi ed Clar-ence Pridemore Jr. over Da-ryl Fansler for Chancellor on Aug. 7?

Frankly, I’ve owned cats with more impressive re-sumes than Pridemore’s few years in retail and real-es-tate sales.

The litmus test for voting in this contest was as simple as it gets: Are you capable of tying your shoes with only minimal assistance? Then you voted for Fansler with-out hesitation.

On the other hand, if your frontal cortex teemed with the logic-devouring virus of

High bar for Clarence Eddie

and then, when caught, claim it was about rental property.

And you must never, ever coerce probationers into sex for prescription drugs.

Yep. The bar is high for Clarence Eddie.

But think about it. In some ways the guy’s a ge-nius. How many of his crit-ics are making $175,000 a year for eight years guaran-teed, plus a pension?

know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”

– H.L. Mencken

Guilder

party-line voting, you pulled the lever for Mr. Least Likely To Succeed.

Historically, the Voting Dead cast their mindless ballots about equally for Re-publicans and Democrats:

Despite being nailed by the FBI with $90,000 cash in a freezer in 2005, U.S. Rep. William Jefferson, a Democrat, won re-election

in 2006. He’s now serving a 13-year prison term.

The late Sen. Ted Kenne-dy, shining Democratic star, drove off a bridge in 1969, killing his passenger, and didn’t report the incident until the following day. Mas-sachusetts voters continued to re-elect him until he died in 2009.

Hypocrite and incumbent U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais has apparently won his Re-publican primary contest for Tennessee’s 4th Congressio-nal District.

In our own backyard, starting in 2004 Republican state Sen. Stacey Campfi eld held offi ce for a decade until even the Voting Dead were undone by his lunacy.

If Clarence Pridemore

has taken a bribe, driven off a bridge, talked out of both sides of his mouth about abortion or trashed gays there’s no record of it. And if the media attention he’s drawn since the election seems like beating a dead horse, it’s because this horse never should have left the paddock.

Pridemore himself may be suffering from partial brain death, as demonstrated by this on his campaign web-site, www.pridemore2014.com: “I hope to make Knox County proud to have me as it’s next Chancellor.”

Do we want a Chancellor who doesn’t know the differ-ence between “it’s” and “its”? Can Knox County afford a copy editor to clean up his

written decisions?Pridemore’s recent bank-

ruptcy doesn’t inspire confi -dence. Now the voting dead have handed him authority over the affairs of an untold number of others for eight years.

Where will the new Chan-cellor stow the “conservative Republican” label that he wore during the campaign when his court opens for business?

Does conservative Re-publican justice differ from run-of-the-mill Republican justice? From Democratic justice?

“Better Dead than Red” was a popular slogan way back when. For the “voting dead” in this race, they’re one and the same.

Judging by the media speculation about 2nd Dis-trict school board candi-date Jamie Rowe, the casual reader might think she was:

A. A political juggernaut. B. A political unknown.C. An Indya Kincannon

wannabe.D. Somebody’s puppet.The “juggernaut” specu-

lation grew out of a pub-lished report that Rowe has a 250-name host committee list. The air of mystery has been promoted by report-ers attempting to suss out which side of the essential James McIntyre argument she’s on by checking out her Facebook friends. The Kincannon mention comes from an assumption that the former board member’s positions refl ect those of her district. And the “puppet” suspicion? See item B.

Underlying the questions is the fact that the election could fl ip the balance on a board that has been 8-1 pro-McIntyre to a 5-4 split the

Jamie Rowe: fast out of the gate

other way.Rowe, long active in lo-

cal politics and schools, has never run for offi ce before, understands the specula-tion, but has been too busy to address it.

Last Friday, three days before Kincannon offi cially vacated her school board seat, Rowe planted a couple of green-and-white Jamie Rowe for school board signs in front of her Tazewell Pike home and sat down to talk.

She moves fast but not fast enough to have signed up 250 public supporters (she claims 180-something on the list so far).

Here’s a sample of who’s on there: former City Coun-cil members Carlene Malone and Jack Sharp, Alice Bell Spring Hill Neighborhood

Association leaders Ronnie Collins, Katie and Bev Gooch, City Council members Mark Campen and Nick Della Vol-pe, retired art teachers Betty Maloy (Central) and Chris-tine Harness (Gresham);

Retired TVA executive Nan Scott, former County Commissioners Mark Har-mon and Billy Tindell, long-time Central teacher (and Tommy Schumpert cam-paign mastermind) Jean Payne, Fountain City activist Barbara Ray and numerous members of the extended Helton family, long active in Fountain City athletics and community life.

Who’s not there?Any member of the

school board.Rowe, who has voted in

both Republican and Demo-cratic primaries, was active in Kincannon’s fi rst (and only contested) campaign. Did she ask for Kincannon’s endorsement?”

“No, I did not. I called her as a courtesy, but I’m

running for s c h o o l board, and I’m confi -dent enough in my own beliefs that I won’t be copy-ing anyone else.”

Would she have voted to extend Superintendent James McIntyre’s contract?

“No. There was no logical reason to commit $222,000 more taxpayer dollars (for a fourth year). To me, that’s not fi scally responsible. I want to see resources used wisely.”

Mayors Burchett and Rogero will appoint a com-mittee under a new state law to choose a new MPC director as Mark Donald-son has decided to move on. However, it is unclear how many members will serve on it, their qualifi cations, who will chair it, who will fund it, who will staff it and its timetable. Meetings and records of this committee must be subject to public re-view and attendance.

Neighborhood groups worry that Rogero’s deputy Bill Lyons will overly infl u-ence her choices for this committee as Lyons has recently clashed with the Fort Sanders Neighborhood by having excluded Fort Sanders from the World’s Fair Park review commit-tee membership. They feel Lyons is unfavorable to his-

toric neighborhoods if big businesses are involved.

This column fi rst report-ed the hiring of Dave Hill at MPC in May, which trig-gered a fi restorm of criti-cism leading to the Donald-son departure.

It is amazing that MPC chair Rebecca Longmire defended the Hill hiring, saying it was in compliance with the MPC bylaws. Even if the bylaws were followed, it is clear the bylaws need to be changed to assure fair-ness in hiring.

Both Rogero and Bur-chett issued statements on Donaldson leaving. Rog-ero’s was lengthy and full of praise. Burchett’s was two sentences long with a single “thank you.”

Martin Daniel: It has been 20 years since a Knox County state representative

lost a party primary, but businessman Martin Daniel made history when he upset incumbent Steve Hall by 157 votes on Aug. 7. It was 1994 when Tim Burchett defeat-ed then-incumbent Rep. Maria Peroulas in the same district.

Conditions were ripe for Hall to lose, but it required a combination of circum-stances. Had any of those circumstances been miss-ing, Hall might have pre-vailed as Daniel’s initial polling showed Hall was 40 points ahead.

First, Daniel invested $85,000 of his own money into his campaign, which allowed him to do the mail-ings, yard signs and phone calls needed to win.

This money only matched what Hall had accumulated in PAC donations over four years.

Second, Daniel commit-ted his personal time go-ing door to door for more than 60 consecutive days, becoming known to voters during the hot summer.

Hall had others going door to door for him.

Third, Hall did not realize the aggressive force coming onto the fi eld against him until early voting was well underway. He was caught fl at-footed.

Fourth, Hall handed Daniel three issues that only Hall could have cre-

Steve Hall, Mark Donaldson moving on ated and caused voters to abandon Hall.

Those issues included legislation to sell Lakeshore Park, which is the most used park in the city.

Hall also sponsored leg-islation to allow Tennova to build a high-rise hospital on Middlebrook Pike without checking with the neighbor-hood as to their views while accepting signifi cant cam-paign donations from the Tennova PAC.

Hall then endorsed Sta-cey Campfi eld for state sen-ate on TV when Campfi eld was politically toxic.

Fifth, the two appear-ances Hall and Daniel made together on TV assisted Daniel, whose performance was more polished and informed while Hall was clearly on the defensive and visibly distressed in front of the camera.

Sixth, the margin of vic-tory for Daniel came from

the Rocky Hill county pre-cinct and Deane Hill Recre-ation city ward.

Both are adjacent to Lakeshore Park, which Hall tried to sell.

Hall had lobbied to have those precincts placed in his district to maintain a 70 percent GOP fl avor to the district.

It never occurred to Hall that he might lose in a pri-mary to a resident of these new precincts. Daniel lives in Rocky Hill.

Future and current leg-islative incumbents might take note that people do watch the legislation you introduce and it can become an issue. Also, clever redis-tricting may work against you, not for you. Be careful whom you endorse, espe-cially if he is losing by an overwhelming margin. Talk to voters before introduc-ing legislation that impacts them.

Tennessee football is so much fun when the Volun-teers win.

The religious devotion, old-fashioned faith, is again justifi ed. Joy is contagious. Strangers laugh and ex-change high fi ves. Costs of tickets and parking and hot dogs no longer seem exorbi-tant.

There is a buzz as the thousands depart, replaying highlights. Some move on to next week and guess what the score will be and wonder if it is fi nally our turn against Alabama and who will make all-American. All is right with the world. Well, almost.

Excitement carries over to dinner parties and late-night snacks and even Sun-day school. I once heard a preacher weave a Vol victory

so much pain and anguish and indigestion when the Volunteers lose. It hurts to say they’ve been doing a lot of that lately and by some rather ugly scores. Our ter-rifi c freshmen Butch Jones brought in were 11 or 12 the last time Tennessee was rel-evant.

Losing generates so many negatives and very feeble excuses. The coach called the wrong play. We should

try the other quarterback. How can all those offi cials miss that obvious holding foul? Our team is so young and inexperienced and the ball was wet.

Offended fans take los-ing personally. Coffee is lukewarm and breakfast is tasteless. Traffi c is terrible, the computer is slow and it looks like more rain.

Losing lasts through Tuesday and sometimes Wednesday if Florida did it. Business suffers. No kid-ding. Losing dulls ordinary discussions.

Eventually, a trace of optimism breaks through, suffering subsides and be-lievers come back to life and start counting again. Can the Vols still qualify for a

bowl game?I am reminded of a little

essay I did years ago: What is Tennessee football?

Some think of it as the greatest show on Earth, high drama, gladiatorial theater, pomp and circum-stance, played out in front of huge audiences, soon to be bigger with the new SEC Network.

Faces change and even that forever jersey turns gray but the story line stays the same, us against them, pas-sion and glory or confusion, turnovers and heartbreak. Been there and seen it all.

For sure, Tennessee foot-ball is money, multimillion-dollar budget, low or no reserve fund, greedy amuse-ment taxes, astronomical

debt service, Butch’s salary plus a bonus for players’ ac-ademic success.

OK, I know you are won-dering. Dave Hart is paid $817,250 to be athletic di-rector – unless I missed a recent raise.

Tennessee football rises above it all.

Some said my best line from that years-ago sum-mation was this: “Tennes-see football is an ensemble of very special people, a col-lection of remarkable snap-shots, moments inextricably linked by blood, sweat and tears, always orange.”

To me, Tennessee foot-ball will remain the mem-ory of George Cafego, the epitome of a Volunteer. It is Doug Atkins and Reggie White getting bigger and better through the years. It is Larry Seivers and Dick Williams and Curt Watson

and Bill Young and others who required no recruiting. Tennessee had always been their team.

Tennessee football is that season of destiny, the ’98 national championship. It is the Arkansas fumble and Al Wilson refusing to lose.

Tennessee football is checkerboards and the Vol Walk and the Neyland statue. It is Dewey Warren’s one-yard run in Memphis and Peyton Manning lead-ing the band and staying for his senior season.

Tennessee football is the exhilaration of walking away a winner and the futility of fi nal seconds ticking away when the Vols are behind and can’t do anything about it. You feel like crying and maybe you do – until some-body starts the chant, “It’s great to be a Tennessee Vol.”Marvin West invites reader reaction. His

Arthur John Stupka was born on Oct. 24, 1905, the oldest of four children of Louis and Mary Stupka, both natives of Bohemia, now the Czech Republic. Louis owned a meat and produce market in Cleve-land, Ohio, on the southern shore of Lake Erie. That is where Arthur fi rst experi-enced the great outdoors.

Arthur Stupka: Archivist of the Smokies

He graduated from Ohio State University, where he also earned his master’s degree in zoology, and then joined the National Park Service at Yellowstone as a ranger-naturalist in 1931.

The following year he was

transferred to Acadia Na-tional Park near Bar Harbor, Maine, as chief naturalist.

He came to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in 1935, just one year after the park was created.

J. Ross Eakin, the park’s fi rst superintendent, told him, “I don’t need a natu-ralist because I don’t want any more visitors (until con-struction is fi nished).” Eakin advised him to get acquaint-ed with the park by hiking, observing and recording. He also was charged with establishing a natural his-tory collection and making connections with the scien-tists who could help develop the park’s resources.

He spent the next four years doing just that and working closely with the Ci-vilian Conservation Corps to lay out the 800-mile trail system in the park, one of Stupka’s proudest achieve-ments. He also added hun-

dreds of observations to his journals, which he had begun when he was only 15. Eventually, those observa-tions would number 18,000 and are now computerized as a part of the park ar-chives for use by scientists in understanding the long-term changes in its fl ora and fauna.

He documented the di-sastrous year of 1946 when the American chestnut had already disappeared and the acorn crop was very poor. It was estimated that between one-third and one-half of the black bear population left the park’s sanctuary that year in search of food. Gray squirrels had a mor-tality of up to 90 percent in some watersheds.

There possibly were spe-cialists who knew more than Stupka about birdlife in the Smokies, and prob-ably some knew more about mushrooms, herbs, shrubs

and trees. Others may have known more about animals and reptiles. However, Ar-thur Stupka probably knew far more about all of those things as a group than any other in-dividual. His inter-national reputation infl uenced special-ists like Roger Tory Peterson to provide expertise in the park’s planning and development.

In 1961, after 25 years as park naturalist, when he was within two years of re-tirement, he was offered the opportunity to use the large attic in park headquarters as his study. There he pro-duced this series of books and pamphlets summariz-ing his knowledge of the fl ora and fauna of the park.

After his retirement, Ar-thur J. Stupka remained in Gatlinburg, continued his observations and record-

keeping and added to the journals in the park’s ar-chives. He passed away April 12, 1999, at age 93, survived by his wife, Grace G. Stupka, two daughters, four grandchildren and sev-en great-grandchildren. Af-ter private services, he was

interred in Sevier Coun-ty’s Walnut Grove Cem-etery near the Great Smoky Mountains that he loved.

torical Collection for their assistance

At the beginning of this school year, I want to talk about the power of music and your child’s mind.

The power of

Carol Shane

Carol’s CornerAs a piano teacher, I try to

introduce students to a wide spectrum of music. Dur-ing one young man’s lesson in the spring of 2013, I put on a CD of Igor Stravinsky’s 20th-century masterpiece “The Rite of Spring.” His eyes lit up. “The dinosaurs!” he exclaimed. “This is, like, my favorite song!”

“‘Fantasia,’ right?” I said.“Yes!” he replied. “I love

this! What is it again?”Fortunately, the Knox-

ville Symphony Orchestra was getting ready to per-form the piece; since I’m an orchestra member, I was able to take Evan (not his real name) to a rehearsal. The 17-year-old was over-whelmed by the opulence of the theater, and when the orchestra began to play, the largeness of the sound threw him for a loop. “I feel a little lightheaded,” he said.

I made sure he had a bottle of water. “Breathe,” I suggested. In a few minutes I glanced sideways to check on him.

He was playing a video game on his laptop. I was crushed. He knew it, too.

“I’m sorry,” he whis-pered. “It’s just too much; I can’t take it all in. I’m over-whelmed, and I need to fo-cus on this for a while; it will help me to calm down.”

We made a deal. Ten min-utes of video game, tops, and then he needed to put it away and be present with the sound and the immensi-ty of the experience. He did, he was, and he had what I believe was one of the great-est nights of his young life.

This year he’s a fresh-man in college. “The Rite of Spring” didn’t make him do that, of course, but at one point during a lesson last year, he did offer this: “You know, studying music is

helping my schoolwork.”Music enlarges our chil-

dren’s experience of the world.

And in an age when we are glued to small screens and music comes in 30-sec-ond sound bites, our kids need to know about big-ger, deeper, more sustained ways to experience it. Their brains will benefi t. Their attention spans will grow. Maybe they’ll want to take part themselves, maybe not. But as they say, “It’s all good.”

In Evan’s case, no mat-ter how much he returns to that small screen, he can’t “un-remember” the sounds he heard that night or the

sights of the musicians making them.

Our area is rife with op-portunities for introduc-ing classical music to your kids. WUOT radio – 91.9 FM – plays a wide variety of pieces day and night. Law-son-McGhee Library has an excellent collection of CDs and knowledgeable librar-ians who are eager to help.

One of the easiest things you can do is to keep music playing in your home. Have it on when you’re eating din-ner or when the kids are do-ing homework. Make it part of the soundtrack of your children’s lives.

Take them to see some real live events. I urge you

to check out the listings for the KSO’s fantastic Young People’s Concerts and Very Young People’s Concerts on the orchestra’s website, www.knoxvillesymphony.com.

Or take them to hear kids their own age.

At 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 24, Second Presbyterian Church, 2829 Kingston Pike, will sponsor a free youth concert featuring young performers from all over the city playing and singing classical music.

The Knoxville Symphony Youth Orchestra Associa-tion showcases 275 young performers, elementary to high school age. Their fall

concert – the fi rst of four this season – will take place at 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 10, at the Tennessee Theatre. Admission is free. You won’t believe how well these kids play.

The KSYOA’s Maestro James Fellenbaum, whose 3-year-old daughter, Kiri, is a big “Nutcracker” fan, says, “Music opens the mind to unlimited possibilities. When music becomes part of children’s lives, it intro-duces them to an entirely new language, one that is infi nitely fascinating to ex-plore, and one that everyone understands.” Send story suggestions to news@

Church of God is preparing for many things wonderful. But right now there is added focus on an upcoming cel-ebration.

Co-pastors Drs. Tom and Shar Fry are working with members to raise funds

for the church’s centen-nial homecoming extrava-ganza Oct. 5. The event will include a morning ser-vice with special guests, a church history museum and an evening service with dra-ma and dance.

A bazaar was held at the church in August, giving

members an opportunity to set up booths and donate a portion of sales back to the church. All kitchen sales went to the church. Funds will be used for building repairs and preparation for the centennial.

“We are a generational church,” said Shar Fry. “The

With the death of Robin Williams, the world is a sadder place, having lost a world-class clown. However, as one television commen-tator opined, “God is surely laughing right now.” I can only imagine the string of jokes Williams may be offer-ing at the Pearly Gates.

I was never a “Mork & Mindy” fan, so I fi rst dis-covered Robin Williams in “Dead Poets Society.” I re-member hearing people ex-press their amazement at his playing a serious role. I didn’t know then that clowning was his native tongue.

Today, stunned, we ask ourselves what could have made such a beloved, funny, creative, inventive man be-come so despondent as to (apparently) take his own life? He had a wife and three children, an adoring public, years of life ahead. And yet …

The ancient Greek theater used masks to denote com-edy and tragedy. Scholars say that the masks were made obvious so that the persons sitting on the farthest seats of the amphitheater could see the emotions being por-trayed.

However, there is another sense in which comedians – perhaps especially Williams – wear masks. I believe com-edy is a defense mechanism, a way to push away sadness, to cover it, hide it, deny it or fi ght it. Williams’ comedy (particularly in interviews) was his armor. He kept inter-viewers at bay, off balance, laughing so hard they could not talk. By so doing, Wil-liams managed to control the interview and evade uncom-fortable questions. When Robin Williams was on, no

For his anger is but for a moment; his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning.

(Psalms 30:5 NRSV)Even in laughter the heart is sad, and the end of joy

is grief.(Proverbs 14:13 NRSV)

The mask of comedy

one else had a chance!So now, the world won-

ders, what exactly were the demons that lurked in the wings? Apparently, there were tremendous fears and doubts and insecurities, per-haps even a terrible diagno-sis. Most probably, we will never know exactly.

What can we learn from this s hocking news?

That life is fragile. That we live in a fallen, broken world. That, sadly, we don’t always get what we want, and we can’t keep what we have.

However, we also learn that the sun comes up again. The world keeps turning. Life goes on. Somewhere in this country, right now, a young comedian is honing his skills, practicing his timing, fi nding ways to make us laugh.

So, in the spirit of Robin Williams, tell a joke today. Tell several. Find something to laugh about. Go to see a performance by that young comedian. Encourage him or her, if you can.

And even now, in the midst of our sorrow, Red Skelton and Emmett Kelly – those master clowns – are welcoming one of their own, and heaven is a merrier place.

So, remember our friend Robin Williams with joy. And remember, too, that “Laugh-ter is deliverance, bubbly salvation” (“Stitches,” Anne Lamott).

O’Dell is a 2014 graduate of the Leadership Academy and was previously assis-tant principal at Northshore Elementary and Brickey-McCloud Elementary.

She met with teaching staff members recently to get a feel for what was need-ed, and she said this year staff will revamp the PLC and bring support for the TEAM rubric.

The big celebration at the school was that the kinder-garteners at Shannondale scored the highest in the

county on the SAT 10 tests. Construction continues

at the school with the new addition and library space. “It’s going slowly, but we want it to be done well,” said O’Dell. “The teachers are patiently waiting but are also very excited to see the fi nished product.”

problem solving, reading and writing.”

He’s not saying that the students at Halls can’t read or write; that is far from the truth. S t u d e n t s need to be p r e p a r e d

for taking tests and showing what they know, but they also need to be able to in-teract with others, learn to solve diffi cult situations and know how to communicate effectively.

These characteristics, along with knowledge, make (in my opinion) a well-rounded individual.

Halls High has gained

many new, strong teach-ers who will help raise test scores and keep the school at the top of its game. “We are largely a veteran crowd here, with two of the new teachers being rookies and the rest being transfers with fi ve-plus years of teaching experience,” Duff said.

On the fi rst day back at school, Duff spoke with the students and came away with a good impression. “I feel really good about the people here at Halls. We have a great staff, great students and live in a great community.”

The agriculture pro-gram at Halls, which was briefl y eliminated, is back, and Duff complimented the students who stepped up to speak to the school board

about the decision. “They deserved a victory, and they got one.”

New to the teaching staff is Sam Alexander, a weld-ing teacher who also teaches art. Duff is excited to have Alexander on staff in hopes of building a strong welding program as part of the CTE curriculum.

New to the administra-tive staff is Ken Dunlap, who will serve as assistant principal and athletic direc-tor. “Ken brings a wealth of experience to our school, and he is a friend of mine,” said Duff. “I think he will love the kids here at Halls.”

Duff concluded: “We are the same old Halls High with the same successful rec ord and proud of the school and community.”

Good things at Halls HighBy Ruth White

I’m just going to say it – I like Mark Duff. How can you not? He knows how to be a strong leader at a great school but knows how to re-lax and have some fun, too.

The students at Halls High respect him as an au-thority fi gure but know that he is there for them when needed.

Duff said last year’s test scores had dipped a bit from previous years. He wasn’t pleased, but he also wasn’t licking any wounds.

“We have to refocus on some things and what goes on in the classroom,” he said.

“Not only getting stu-dents ready for taking tests, but getting back to funda-mentals and working on

Kendall Williams competes nationally

Kendall Williams recent-ly competed at the National Barrel Horse Association Youth World Champion-ships in Georgia. More than 1,100 participants were in the teen division and 800 in the youth division. Contes-tants ran for over $300,000 in cash and prizes.

In the fi rst round, Ken-dall placed 128th on Firen Red Sparks (Sparky) and

416th on Shilo. In the sec-ond round, she placed 30th on Sparky and 304th on Shilo. The competition is one of the most innovative barrel racing businesses in the industry and is credited with introducing the divi-sional concepts to barrel racing.

Kendall is the daughter of Dr. T.D. and Jennifer Wil-liams.

Meeting Judge ReevesShopper-News interns Zoe Risley, Julia Grant and Sydnie Seay were pleased to meet the Hon.

Pamela L. Reeves, the fi rst female U.S. District Court judge in the district, at a naturalization

ceremony. Photos by R. White

The last event for the Shopper News interns was a naturalization ceremony held Aug. 8 at the Knoxville City County Building. It is safe to say there wasn’t a dry eye in the main assembly room as more than 160 im-migrants became American citizens. Interns Zoe Risley and Julia Grant, plus Syd-nie Seay, a friend of Julia, attended.

Welcoming new citizens is last assignment for interns

Sara Barrett

The ceremony began with opening remarks by both Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett and Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero. U.S. District Judge Pamela Reeves presided over the ceremony and welcomed America’s newest citizens with metaphorical open arms. This was Reeves’ fi rst naturalization ceremony since being appointed in March.

Reeves talked about her upbringing and how her early circumstances did not keep her from becoming the fi rst female judge appointed to the bench in this district of federal court.

“I came from a small house by a creek, with an outhouse and no running water. The great thing about this country is that you can become the person you want to be. It is not based on

where you were born,” said Reeves.

Sudan native Omjoma Sanadi and her 6-year-old daughter, Deanna Aian, sat next to our group as they waited for Sanadi’s 23-year-old son, Nader Luka, to re-ceive his citizenship. Sanadi is beginning the lengthy testing portion of the citi-zenship process and says she is pleased to make the effort. She talks about the violence in Sudan and how she fl ed with her children in hopes of living a safer and happier life. As to what she enjoys most about being in

America, Sanadi said sim-ply, “Freedom.”

It takes each person ap-proximately 10 minutes to walk to the podium and re-ceive his or her certifi cate of citizenship. The importance of the moment can be seen in many ways.

One recipient takes lon-ger than most to climb the few steps to the judge be-cause he is on crutches. He had just broken his leg but wanted to complete his long journey to citizenship.

Family members in the balcony cheer and proudly videotape their loved ones

shaking hands with the judge and receiving a small American fl ag.

Each new citizen’s name is announced as he or she receives the certifi cate.

“It is an honor for me to stand here as you complete your journey,” said Rogero during her welcoming re-marks.

“No matter what brought you here, bloom where you are planted. And exercise your right to vote.”

By Betty BeanTucked into the short

block between Fountain City’s park and lake, Stout’s California Concepts occu-pies one of the most visible spots on North Broadway, so it’s hard to miss the white-haired fellow with the broom and the heavy-duty dustpan who appears every morning to sweep up the stretch from the front of the salon, across Church Street and all the way down to the duck pond.

“He’d take a rake and clean up that pond scum if we’d let him,” said his wife, Shirley (referring to the thick coating of algae that’s taken over the surface of Fountain City Lake this year).

Foster “Shop” Stout, aka the Fountain City Sweeper, has been cleaning up his little piece of Broadway ever since he and Shirley bought the salon in 1993. Ask him why he does it and he gives a simple answer:

“I hate trash.”A friendly, funny guy who

turned 84 on August 16, he’s got a quip for every occa-sion.

“Sweet 16 and never been kissed,” he said, grinning while Shirley burst into laughter, something she does just about every time Shop gets to cracking jokes. Their daughter, Jane Brant-ley, who runs the salon, laughed, too.

He acquired his nick-name when he was a teen-ager working at C.M. Mc-Clung, and one of the older employees would summon him by hollering “Shopboy!”

After 10 years at Mc-Clung, Shop got drafted and sent to Korea. His most viv-id memory of the war was

seeing a MiG that a Russian defector had landed on an American base.

“It was probably 1953, and we’d offered a million dollars to anybody who’d defect because jets were just coming out good and the MiG was supposed to be a real fast plane, and we wanted to see how it worked,” he said.

He stayed in the army until 1955 and saved his money for a new car. When he got back home he bought a snazzy red-and-white ’54 Oldsmobile that he remem-bers very fondly.

“That’s the way I got hold of Mamma,” he said. “She liked that car.”

They met at the D-Lynn Barn, a square-dance place on Broadway down toward Whittle Springs, where Shop said he was playing the fi eld.

“I didn’t want to marry the fi rst girl I met,” he said. “Wanted to make sure I got the right one.”

Again Shirley laughed. “Met in a barn, Lord! Mar-ried 58 years.”

“I’ve got her remodeled. She’s got a new (heart) valve, had her kidney re-modeled – I’ve got too much in her to trade.”

Shop and Shirley are at the shop every day, a custom Jane endorses, even when Shop asks her customers if they want a warranty with their haircut.

“I have 80 percent male clients, and they all en-joy coming here because you don’t have to be sitting here long to start laugh-ing. It’s kind of like an old-fashioned barbershop – and Mom and Dad being here makes it more fun. They’ve never met a stranger.”

“We deal with diverse opinions to form consensus to move the city forward,” she said, urging the busi-ness audience to get their staff “out of silos” and work-ing together.

Rogero’s administration is continuing the redevelop-ment program launched by Mayor Bill Haslam, start-ing with the center city and moving outward. Down-town is vibrant, and now the city is running out of parking. The new Walnut Street parking garage will add 1,060 spaces with free night and weekend park-ing. Daytime parking will serve TVA Towers and the Langley Building (formerly Kimberly-Clark), she said.

The city uses public mon-ey strategically to leverage private investment with projects underway all over town. Here are highlights:North: Façade grants

The businesses and com-munity groups around the East Towne-area Exit 8 on I-640 are one step closer to having the ability to lease space on offi cial logo signs leading up to their exit.

The East Towne Area BPA was formed to address access and visibility issues. More than 100 businesses are hidden from interstate travelers by the overgrown vegetation and sunken roadway, just beyond the earthen berms erected to al-low clearance for crossover bridges.

Until recently, TDOT rules prohibited those trav-eler service signs on inter-state exits within cities of more than 100,000 popu-lation. The blanket rule doesn’t quite work here, where traveler views are ob-

structed by the road design. So the 70,000 daily trav-

elers on I-640 see only an exit sign identifying road names – hardly notice of businesses lying just be-yond Exit 8.

Beginning on Oct. 29, the revised logo sign rule will allow the governing body in larger cities to seek TDOT approval to allow logo signs that don’t meet the TDOT requirements. This matter will soon be presented for action to Knoxville’s mayor and City Council. Final ap-proval rests with TDOT.

Qualifying businesses can apply for rental space on those standard blue inter-state signs leading up to the exit. Those general notices are followed by directional signs as you travel down the ramp. The goal is to advise

“This is really going to be something that our neigh-borhood kids get a lot of use out of,” Manis said. “Even for the older ones, because they can read to the younger ones. It helps everybody.”

Partnerships like the new one with Imagination Li-brary are just one of many ways we work to offer our residents not just a great place to live, but also an en-hanced quality of life. We are grateful for individuals like Kenny who go well be-yond the call of duty to help implement and make these programs available for resi-dents across our city.

Only six businesses per sign are allowed, with preference given to those closest to the interstate. It’s not advertis-ing, it’s traveler advice.

This good news came from business and neigh-borhood groups and local government offi cials – all invited guests at the ETAB-PA monthly meetings.

‘Candy Lady’ fi nds help for swallowing problemsWhen Dorothy Robbins of

Sevierville visits Fort Sand-ers Regional Medical Center, she usually brings a box of fresh peanut brittle or assort-ed fl avors of taffi es with her.

“They call me the Candy Lady,” said Robbins, 73. “I’ve worked 40 years at the candy shop (Ole Smokey Candy Kitchen) in Gatlin-burg. So I make a variety and take it to them. Dr. Jackson loves peanut brittle, so I always take him some.”

Robbins tells a funny but harrowing story about the time in October 2011 when a 200-pound bear broke into the shop at night. Robbins and a coworker found him in the morning.

“There was a hole in the glass door and pecans every-where,” Robbins recalled.

The women called the po-lice, who chased the bear out of the shop and right past Robbins. Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency offi cials tried to trap him in the days

following, with no success. The incident made the news and can still be seen on You-Tube.

“I said we have the sweet-est bear in town!” said Rob-bins. “He was the smartest, too – he picked our candy shop! And they never did catch him.”

But that wasn’t the fi rst frightening experience for Robbins. In 1989, she suc-cessfully battled Hodgkin’s lymphoma, undergoing 40 radiation treatments at Fort Sanders Regional.

The treatments elimi-nated the cancer, but sub-sequent scarring from chest radiation narrowed her esophagus to the point where she couldn’t eat without food getting caught. A narrowed esophagus can also be the result of acid refl ux disease, a common ailment.

“It’s very frightening,” Robbins said. “People who have not had it happen to them don’t know.”

Any food could get stuck in Robbins’ esophagus for days, especially foods like chicken or beef, she said. “I couldn’t swallow anything else either, even saliva,” she added. “It’s a scary thought when nothing will go down.”

Robbins lived with the condition for many years. But about fi ve years ago, she was referred to Dr. Mark Jackson, a gastroenterolo-gist with Fort Sanders Re-gional. Jackson told Robbins he could “stretch” her esophagus to help her swallow better.

With Robbins under anesthesia, Jackson inserted an endoscope – a tiny lighted video camera – down her throat. He then used slender instruments to expand and stretch the nar-row places.

The procedure made a dif-ference immediately, Rob-bins said, and she now has the treatment on a regular

basis. At fi rst she went every month, and now sees Jack-son several times each year.

Her procedure is done at the Cen-ter for Diges-tive Health at Fort Sanders Regional and takes about 15-20 minutes. “I’m

d o w n and back in a day,” said Robbins, noting that she eats softer foods immediately following the procedure.

“Dr. Jackson is a wonder-

ful doctor. That whole group, they’re great – so wonderful and caring.”

Sweet words from the Can-dy Lady, who can more easilyswallow the foods she enjoys.

Body’s digestive train can be derailedWhen your co-worker phones the offi ce

saying he or she has “stomach fl u,” don’t believe it. That’s because the vomiting and

diarrhea associated with the condition probably has nothing to do with the fl u – it’s more likely to be gastroenteritis, one of the more common ailments that can go wrong with the super-sophisticated human plumbing we call the digestive sys-tem.

The mouth, esophagus, stomach, large and small intes-

tines, and anus are all part of the digestive system, with the tongue, salivary glands, pancreas, liver and gallbladder also pitching in. Even nerves and blood play a major role in the digestive process.

With so many body parts working to-gether just to process that sausage biscuit you had for breakfast, it isn’t surprising that sometimes things go wrong. In fact, an es-timated 60 to 70 million Americans are af-fected by one digestive disease or another each year, resulting in 48.3 million visits to the doctor, 21.7 million hospitalizations and almost a quarter million deaths.

Here are a few common conditions: ■ Gastroenteritis – Often called

“stomach fl u,” it’s infl ammation of the small intestine caused by viruses, bacteria or parasites.

■ Gastroesophageal Refl ux Dis-ease (GERD) – More commonly known as heartburn, symptoms occur when the stomach contents back up into the esopha-gus.

Occasional GERD doesn’t usually in-dicate a problem. “But if it’s persistent, if you have diffi culty or if you have weight loss, it needs to be evaluated,” said Dr. Mu-

hammed Iqbal, gastroenterologist with Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. GERD can sometimes be a symptom of other con-ditions such as asthma, esophageal cancer or a precancerous condition called Barrett’s esophagus.

■ Constipation – Americans spend $725 million a year on laxatives, trying to facilitate a bowel movement.

■ Diarrhea – Constipation’s “evil twin” causes repeated trips to the bathroom. Usu-ally diarrhea is brought on by mild infec-tions of the colon or small intestine.

■ Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) – IBS is an intestinal disorder that causes abdominal pain, cramping or bloating and diarrhea or constipation.

■ Infl ammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) – Another name for either Crohn’s disease or ulcertative colitis. The disease stems from infl ammation of the colon.

■ Diverticular disease –The co-lon becomes weakened and pouches form along its surface. The pouches can collect food and become infected, resulting in pain and tenderness in the lower abdomen.

■ Colorectal cancer – The diges-tive system is home to more cancers and causes more cancer mortalities than any other organ system in the body. Colon can-cer affects more than 100,000 Americans each year. The good news is that most co-lon cancer is preventable through regular screening.

“Colon cancer deaths have decreased be-cause there is effective screening and better treatments. Pre-cancerous polyps (growths that can be precursors to colon cancer) can be completely and safely removed during colonoscopy,” Iqbal says, adding that the most important thing to remember is that “colonoscopy saves lives.”

If you have digestive discomfort or diffi culties, or symptoms that may be caused by the conditions listed above, call 865-541-4280 or go to www.fsregional.com/gi

Time for ‘gut check’? Tests can be life savers

Tummy trouble? It may be time for a “gut check.” A variety of tests are available to help gas-

troenterologists (specialists in digestive disorders) di-agnose and treat the cause of “GI blues.”

The Fort Sanders Cen-ter for Digestive Health has gastroenterologists Richard Cohn, MD; Jeffrey Brown, MD; Mark Jackson, MD; Muhammed Iqbal, MD; and Robert Pollack, MD, who offer a variety of diagnostic procedures, in-cluding the following:

ColonoscopyColonoscopy is the examination of the entire

colon (large intestine) to look for early signs of colon cancer (polyps). Usually an outpatient procedure, colonoscopy is performed by in-serting a fl exible lighted tube into the rectum. It requires intravenous sedation and adequate preparation to clean the colon. The exam will take about 20 minutes but can save your life.

Colonoscopy screening is recommended for everyone at age 50 and every 10 years after that if the test is normal. People with a family histo-ry of colon cancer, infl ammatory bowel disease or ulcerative colitis need to have the procedure at a younger age and more frequently.

“Colon cancer can be managed, treated and cured if found early,” says Dr. Jackson. “The thing I’ve learned over the past 25 years is the impor-tance of getting people past the fear and embar-rassment of having to go through colonoscopy. The more people we can get screened the better.”

Capsule endoscopy (“PillCam”)This high-tech procedure uses a pill-sized

video camera to view images of the small intes-tine, which cannot be viewed with traditional upper endoscopy or colonoscopy. The camera

takes multiple pictures of the small intestine asit passes through the bowel. The most commonuse is to search for causes of bleeding from the small intestine. It can also be used to test forCrohn’s disease and small bowel tumors.

On the day prior to the procedure a laxativesolution is given to cleanse the small intestine. The PillCam is then swallowed and passes through the digestive tract while transmittingvideo images to a recorder worn on the pa-tient’s belt. The test takes about eight hours.

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD)Upper GI endoscopy, sometimes called EGD,

helps in diagnosing and treating esophagitis,heartburn, ulcers and bleeding. The procedureis the visual examination of the upper gastroin-testinal tract using a lighted fl exible endoscope. Itis performed in an outpatient setting and utilizesintravenous sedation to relax the patient. The en-doscope is inserted through the mouth into the esophagus, stomach, and upper part of the smallintestine. The exam takes about 5-10 minutes.

Endoscopic Retrograde

Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)ERCP enables the physician to diagnose

problems that involve the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts and pancreas. In this procedure a fl exible lighted tube is passed through themouth and into the stomach and upper intes-tine to visualize the opening to ducts from the liver and pancreas. Once identifi ed, a narrowplastic tube is passed through the scope into the duct, where a dye is injected and X-raysare taken. If the exam shows a gallstone or nar-rowing of the ducts, specialized equipment canbe used to remove the stones or relieve the ob-struction. The exam takes 30-60 minutes.

Approximately 1,100 people participated or volunteered at the fi fth annual Butterfl y Run, held last Saturday on Cherokee Boulevard. The race honors Emily Barger and Maddie Harrill, who lost their bat-tles with cancer in 2008. The Butterfl y Fund was es-tablished by their families to raise funds for research, treatment and services dedicated to the defeat of childhood cancers.

The largest team to compete was the Bearden High School football team. The entire team was regis-tered, and approximately 75 participated, said associate head coach Hunter Fendley. It was the fi fth community service project the team has taken on this year.

Misty Barger said that she is humbled by the sup-port she has received from the community. Other fun-draisers are the Black Tie Gala, held each spring, and a golf tournament that will be held at Fox Den Coun-
