It has been 20 years since a Knox County state representative 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 Burchett defeated then-incumbent Rep. Maria Peroulas in the same district.

How did Daniel do it?

He also added hundreds of observations to the journal he started at age 15.

Eventually, those observations would number 18,000 and are now computerized as a part of the park archives for use by scientists in understanding the long-term changes in its flora and fauna.

Update on Fountain City Lake 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 refilling by the end of October.

Rogero promised consultation with an engineer toward long-term solutions.

Burchett requests TDOT extension on Halls grant

By Sandra Clark Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett has asked John Schroer, commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Transportation, for one final extension on the TDOT grant for a “park-to-school” greenway 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” because it links Halls Elementary School to the existing g r e e n w a y/s i d e walk pedestrian system in Halls and “complex” because construction involves a wetland mitigaTim Burchett tion on private property near

Walmart.

Burchett assured Schroer that he and his staff will work with Halls residents to resolve the problems and get on with the project.

The greenway connector is designed to start at the back of Clayton 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 Andersonville Pike at Halls Elementary.

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

Former state Sen. Jamie Woodson secured the original grant, and Sen. Becky Massey has been working to get the final extension.

Pridemore faces trial by fire; lawyers worry

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 flight to Orlando, there’s an election, and a guy who’s never flown before is elected pilot and citizens are comPridemore pelled to get on that plane …”

This is how one Knoxville attorney 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 respected 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 awaiting several decisions in important cases pending in Division II, including Lamar v Knoxville, which challenges the city’s right to regulate billboards; Anderson and Woodridge 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 developer who intervened in a case filed 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,” operated by the Administrative Offices of the Courts in Nashville, Pridemore will have five days of seminars, sign up for his $175,000-peryear paycheck and get fitted for his robe (a standard choir robe will suffice). When he returns, Pridemore will immediately face Motion 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 under advisement. The problem with that is he’ll have to write opinions and will get swamped pretty quickly. His cases will drag, and complaints will start coming in,” said one very experienced attorney, speaking anonymously.

Most worry less about Pridemore 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 finances. Without being critical of the chancellor-elect, it raises significant questions about the manner and method by which we elect judges in Knox County,” said Greg Isaacs, who represents Lamar Outdoor Advertising.

Attorneys speaking anonymously had less tactful takes: “There needs to be a preliminary 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 and got elected.”

History Fair offers peek at

Underground Gay Street

By Wendy Smith In case there was any question about it, attendance at last weekend’s East Tennessee Historical Society History Fair settled all bets − Knoxville loves history.

We love to dress our pooches as historical characters for the annual “History Hound” competition.

We like anyone in costume, especially soldiers, and the loud sounds their weapons make. Since we enjoy sports, it’s no surprise that a Civil War-era baseball double-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 present level back in 1919, and that the original sidewalks − now a story below the current sidewalks − still exist.

An ETHS presentation by Jan Larson to a standingroom-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 floor of the Empo-

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

“This is the old streetlevel entry from when this was a furniture factory,” she explained. “Now, when you walk in from Gay Street, you’re actually on the second floor.”

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, because it was a steep hill.

City leaders decided to

build a viaduct to even out the grade, Larson said. This was accomplished by building a wall where the sidewalk met the road on both sides, and filling it with dredge from the river. Supports 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 unearthed the possibility of developing the long-buried sidewalks and original first floors 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 Larson, provided tours of the east side of the underground, which basically encompasses the original first floor 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 Saturday afternoon, we can only wonder how popular Underground Gay Street might prove on a Saturday night.

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 students are ready to get back to learning and making great memories.

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 priceless, and it was obvious that it was a genuine pleasure for Espiritu to see the child.

Learning in the classroom 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 celebrations that I’ve witnessed.

Russells celebrate 50th anniversary

Brian Hann talks with Vestal Community Organization representative Eric Johnson after the Greenways Commission meeting.

■

Fred and Ann Russell celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary Aug. 17. Both are retired educators from the Knox County Schools and are longtime residents of the Halls and Powell communities.

Meanwhile, on the greenways

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

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

Also at the meeting at Larry 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 Alcoa 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.

Eric Johnson from the Vestal Community Organization talked to the commission about getting support

for improvements at Mary Vestal Park. While the VCO and work crews from the Sheriff’s Office have cleaned up invasive-plant growth extensively along the greenway, there are maintenance issues. Also, Johnson emphasized the need for extending the greenway, at least to Fort Dickerson Park along Blount Avenue if not all the way to the Tennessee River.

government High bar for Clarence Eddie Dr. Fred Hurst often asks: What do you call the guy who finished last in his class in medical school?

Answer: “Doctor.”

Pundits are worried about newly elected chancellor 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 cannot talk to John Valliant on a cell phone from the bench

Sandra Clark

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 genius. How many of his critics are making $175,000 a year for eight years guaranteed, plus a pension?

Jamie Rowe: fast out of the gate Judging by the media speculation about 2nd District school board candidate 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” speculation grew out of a published report that Rowe has a 250-name host committee list. The air of mystery has been promoted by reporters 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 reflect those of her district. And the “puppet” suspicion? See item B. Underlying the questions is the fact that the election could flip the balance on a board that has been 8-1 proMcIntyre to a 5-4 split the

Association leaders Ronnie Collins, Katie and Bev Gooch, City Council members Mark Campen and Nick Della Volpe, retired art teachers Betty Maloy (Central) and Christine Harness (Gresham); Retired TVA executive Nan Scott, former County Commissioners Mark Harmon and Billy Tindell, longtime Central teacher (and Tommy Schumpert campaign 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 Democratic primaries, was active in Kincannon’s first (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 confident enough in my own beliefs that I won’t be copying anyone Jamie Rowe 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 fiscally responsible. I want to see resources used wisely.”

Space doesn’t allow listing much of her resume, but here are some highlights: 2004 Fountain City Woman of the Year, 1991 Bicentennial Gold Medal Award Winner (for environmental education work at Gresham Middle School), founder of the Shannondale Walkathon.

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

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

Second, Daniel committed his personal time going 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 field against him until early voting was well underway. He was caught flat-footed.

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

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 legislation to allow Tennova to build a high-rise hospital on Middlebrook Pike without checking with the neighborhood as to their views while accepting significant campaign donations from the Tennova PAC. Hall then endorsed Stacey Campfield for state senate on TV when Campfield was politically toxic.

Fifth, the two appearances 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 victory for Daniel came from

the Rocky Hill county precinct and Deane Hill Recreation 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 flavor to the district.

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

Future and current legislative incumbents might take note that people do watch the legislation you introduce and it can become an issue. Also, clever redistricting may work against you, not for you. Be careful whom you endorse, especially if he is losing by an overwhelming margin. Talk to voters before introducing legislation that impacts them.

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

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

Hypocrite and incumbent U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais has apparently won his Republican primary contest for Tennessee’s 4th Congressional District.

In our own backyard, starting in 2004 Republican state Sen. Stacey Campfield held office 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 website, 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 difference between “it’s” and “its”?

Can Knox County afford a copy editor to clean up his

written decisions?

Pridemore’s recent bankruptcy doesn’t inspire confidence. Now the voting dead have handed him authority over the affairs of an untold number of others for eight years.

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

Does conservative Republican 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.

Betty Bean other way.

Rowe, long active in local politics and schools, has never run for office before, understands the speculation, but has been too busy to address it.

Last Friday, three days before Kincannon officially 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 Council members Carlene Malone and Jack Sharp, Alice Bell Spring Hill Neighborhood

Steve Hall, Mark Donaldson moving on Mayors Burchett and Rogero will appoint a committee under a new state law to choose a new MPC director as Mark Donaldson has decided to move on.

However, it is unclear how many members will serve on it, their qualifications, 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 review and attendance.

Neighborhood groups worry that Rogero’s deputy Bill Lyons will overly influence 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 committee membership. They feel Lyons is unfavorable to his-

toric neighborhoods if big businesses are involved.

This column first reported the hiring of Dave Hill at MPC in May, which triggered a firestorm of criticism leading to the Donaldson 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 fairness in hiring.

Both Rogero and Burchett issued statements on Donaldson leaving. Rogero’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

Victor Ashe

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 defeated then-incumbent Rep. Maria Peroulas in the same district.

Conditions were ripe for Hall to lose, but it required a combination of circumstances. Had any of those circumstances been missing, Hall might have prevailed as Daniel’s initial polling showed Hall was 40 points ahead.

Night of the ‘voting dead’ “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”

– H.L. Mencken Sorry, Stephen King.

Move over, Edgar Allan Poe. The horrors that sprang from those fertile imaginations 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 unqualified Clarence Pridemore Jr. over Daryl Fansler for Chancellor on Aug. 7?

Frankly, I’ve owned cats with more impressive resumes than Pridemore’s few years in retail and real-estate 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 without hesitation.

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

Larry Van 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 Republicans 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

It’s great to be a Tennessee Vol Tennessee football is so much fun when the Volunteers win.

The religious devotion, old-fashioned faith, is again justified. Joy is contagious.

Strangers laugh and exchange high fives. Costs of tickets and parking and hot dogs no longer seem exorbitant.

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 finally 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 latenight snacks and even Sunday school. I once heard a preacher weave a Vol victory

Marvin West

into a sermon.

Tennessee football is 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 terrific freshmen Butch Jones brought in were 11 or 12 the last time Tennessee was relevant.

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 officials miss that obvious holding foul? Our team is so young and inexperienced and the ball was wet.

Offended fans take losing personally. Coffee is lukewarm and breakfast is tasteless. Traffic 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 kidding. Losing dulls ordinary discussions.

Eventually, a trace of optimism breaks through, suffering subsides and believers 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 circumstance, 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, passion and glory or confusion, turnovers and heartbreak.

Been there and seen it all.

For sure, Tennessee football is money, multimilliondollar budget, low or no reserve fund, greedy amusement taxes, astronomical

debt service, Butch’s salary plus a bonus for players’ academic success.

OK, I know you are wondering. Dave Hart is paid $817,250 to be athletic director – unless I missed a recent raise.

Tennessee football rises above it all.

Some said my best line from that years-ago summation was this: “Tennessee football is an ensemble of very special people, a collection of remarkable snapshots, moments inextricably linked by blood, sweat and tears, always orange.”

To me, Tennessee football will remain the memory 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 leading the band and staying for his senior season.

Tennessee football is the exhilaration of walking away a winner and the futility of final seconds ticking away when the Vols are behind and can’t do anything about it. You feel like crying and maybe you do – until somebody starts the chant, “It’s great to be a Tennessee Vol.” Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Arthur Stupka: Archivist of the Smokies 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 Cleveland, Ohio, on the southern shore of Lake Erie. That is where Arthur first experienced the great outdoors.

Jim Tumblin

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 National 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 first superintendent, told him, “I don’t need a naturalist because I don’t want any more visitors (until construction is finished).” Eakin advised him to get acquainted with the park by hiking, observing and recording.

He also was charged with establishing a natural history collection and making connections with the scientists who could help develop the park’s resources.

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

dreds of observations to his journals, which he had begun when he was only 15.

Eventually, those observations would number 18,000 and are now computerized as a part of the park archives for use by scientists in understanding the longterm changes in its flora and fauna.

He documented the disastrous 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 mortality of up to 90 percent in some watersheds.

There possibly were specialists who knew more than Stupka about birdlife in the Smokies, and probably some knew more about mushrooms, herbs, shrubs

and trees. Others may have known more about animals and reptiles. However, Arthur Stupka probably knew far more about all of those things as a group than any other inNaturalist and party on conducted dividual. His intertrip.

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

Carol Shane

Carol’s Corner As a piano teacher, I try to introduce students to a wide spectrum of music. During 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 Knoxville Symphony Orchestra was getting ready to perform 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 overwhelmed 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.

Members of the Knoxville Symphony Youth Orchestra Association demonstrate fierce concentration during a concert.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered. “It’s just too much; I can’t take it all in. I’m overwhelmed, and I need to focus on this for a while; it will help me to calm down.”

We made a deal. Ten minutes of video game, tops, and then he needed to put it away and be present with the sound and the immensity of the experience. He did, he was, and he had what I believe was one of the greatest nights of his young life.

This year he’s a freshman 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 children’s experience of the world.

And in an age when we are glued to small screens and music comes in 30-second sound bites, our kids need to know about bigger, deeper, more sustained ways to experience it. Their brains will benefit. 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 matter 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 opportunities for introducing classical music to your kids. WUOT radio – 91.9 FM – plays a wide variety of pieces day and night. Lawson-McGhee Library has an excellent collection of CDs and knowledgeable librarians 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 dinner or when the kids are doing 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, w w w.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 Association showcases 275 young performers, elementary to high school age. Their fall

concert – the first 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 introduces them to an entirely new language, one that is infinitely fascinating to explore, and one that everyone understands.”

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

I was never a “Mork & Mindy” fan, so I first discovered Robin Williams in “Dead Poets Society.” I remember hearing people express 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 become 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 comedy 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 portrayed.

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

one else had a chance!

So now, the world wonders, what exactly were the demons that lurked in the wings? Apparently, there were tremendous fears and doubts and insecurities, perhaps even a terrible diagnosis. Most probably, we will never know exactly.

What can we learn from this shocking 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, finding 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 “Laughter is deliverance, bubbly salvation” (“Stitches,” Anne Lamott).

O’Dell is a 2014 graduate of the Leadership Academy and was previously assistant principal at Northshore Elementary and BrickeyMcCloud Elementary.

She met with teaching staff members recently to get a feel for what was needed, 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 kindergarteners 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 finished product.”

Good things at Halls High

By 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 relax and have some fun, too.

The students at Halls High respect him as an authority figure 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 students ready for taking tests, but getting back to fundamentals and working on

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.

Students need to be Mark Duff prepared for taking tests and showing what they know, but they also need to be able to interact with others, learn to solve difficult situations and know how to communicate effectively.

These characteristics, along with knowledge, make (in my opinion) a wellrounded individual.

Halls High has gained

many new, strong teachers 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 five-plus years of teaching experience,” Duff said.

On the first 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 program at Halls, which was briefly 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 welding 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 administrative staff is Ken Dunlap, who will serve as assistant principal and athletic direc- Kendall Williams and Sparky recently competed in the NBHA tor. “Ken brings a wealth of Youth World Championships.

Tucked into the short block between Fountain City’s park and lake, Stout’s California Concepts occupies 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 occasion.

“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 Brantley, who runs the salon, laughed, too.

He acquired his nickname when he was a teenager working at C.M. McClung, and one of the older employees would summon him by hollering “Shopboy!”

After 10 years at McClung, Shop got drafted and sent to Korea. His most vivid 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 remembers 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 field.

“I didn’t want to marry the first girl I met,” he said.

“Wanted to make sure I got the right one.”

Again Shirley laughed.

“Met in a barn, Lord! Married 58 years.”

“I’ve got her remodeled.

She’s got a new (heart) valve, had her kidney remodeled – 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 enjoy coming here because you don’t have to be sitting here long to start laughing. It’s kind of like an oldfashioned barbershop – and Mom and Dad being here makes it more fun. They’ve never met a stranger.”

Foster “Shop” Stout sweeps up Broadway.

Rogero gives lake info Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero starts every speech by saying, “I love my job.” And she means it. Last week Rogero demonstrated her mastery of that job at the North Knoxville Rotary Club.

Sandra Clark

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

Rogero’s administration is continuing the redevelopment program launched by Mayor Bill Haslam, starting with the center city and moving outward. Downtown 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 parking. Daytime parking will serve TVA Towers and the Langley Building (formerly Kimberly-Clark), she said.

The city uses public money strategically to leverage private investment with projects underway all over town. Here are highlights: North: Façade grants and installation of bike routes on North Central led to a resurgence of restaurants and bars. Last week

Happy Holler was added to the National Register of Historic Places, and we learned Baxter Properties has bought several tracts for future development.

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

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

Rogero promised consultation with an engineer toward long-term solutions.

South: The old Baptist Hospital is coming down to make way for private-sector apartments and a plaza.

East: The warehouse district of Magnolia Avenue is due attention, with $500,000 in façade grants to upgrade the area around Pellissippi State’s Magnolia Avenue campus. Work is underway to alleviate flooding on Prosser Road. with two lanes to open by Sept. 1.

West: The Cumberland Avenue streetscape (starting after football season) will redefine the city’s image to visitors at UT. The street will be two lanes with a center turn lane, and KUB is moving utility lines to the back alley. Rogero praised the $62 million “very modern, urban design” Walmart and Publix complex just opened on the site of the old Fulton Bellows brownfield.

With a master’s degree in planning and a can-do

attitude, Rogero is moving Knoxville forward. And did we mention, she absolutely loves her job.

Gov. Bill Haslam said Academy Sports + Outdoors will build a new 1.6 millionsquare-foot distribution center on more than 200 acres in Cookeville to support continued company growth. Academy will invest $100 million and create approximately 700 new jobs in Putnam County over the next five years.

Maddi’s mother, Amanda Dillon, said, “When the new books come to the mailbox, she wants to open them right then and there, so she is going to love walking over to borrow these. They’re not books we already have at home.”

In addition to her mother, one of the most frequently present adults in Maddi’s life is “Mr. Kenny.”

“This is really going to be something that our neighborhood 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 Library are just one of many ways we work to offer our residents not just a great place to live, but also an enhanced quality of life. We are grateful for individuals like Kenny who go well beyond the call of duty to help implement and make these programs available for residents across our city.

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

‘Candy Lady’ finds help for swallowing problems When Dorothy Robbins of Sevierville visits Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, she usually brings a box of fresh peanut brittle or assorted avors of tafďŹ es with her. “They call me the Candy Lady,â€? said Robbins, 73. “I’ve worked 40 years at the candy shop (Ole Smokey Candy Kitchen) in Gatlinburg. So I make a variety and take it to them. Dr. Jackson loves peanut brittle, so I always take him some.â€?

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 everywhere,� Robbins recalled.

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

following, with no success.

The incident made the news and can still be seen on YouTube. “I said we have the sweetest bear in town!� said Robbins. “He was the smartest, too – he picked our candy shop! And they never did catch him.�

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

The treatments eliminated the cancer, but subsequent 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 reux disease, a common ailment. “It’s very frightening,â€?

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 ďŹ ve years ago, she was referred to Dr. Mark Jackson, a gastroenterologist with Fort Sanders Regional. Jackson told Robbins he could “stretchâ€? 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 narrow places.

The procedure made a difference immediately, Robbins said, and she now has the treatment on a regular

Body’s digestive train can be derailed When your co-worker phones the ofďŹ ce saying he or she has “stomach u,â€? don’t believe it. That’s because the vomiting and diarrhea associated with the condition probably has nothing to do with the 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 system.

Dr. Muhammed The mouth, Iqbal, Gastroenteresophagus, stomach, ologist large and small intestines, 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 together just to process that sausage biscuit you had for breakfast, it isn’t surprising that sometimes things go wrong. In fact, an estimated 60 to 70 million Americans are affected 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: â– Gastroenteritis – Often called “stomach u,â€? it’s inammation of the small intestine caused by viruses, bacteria or parasites. â– Gastroesophageal Reux Disease (GERD) – More commonly known as heartburn, symptoms occur when the stomach contents back up into the esophagus.

Occasional GERD doesn’t usually indicate a problem. “But if it’s persistent, if you have difďŹ culty or if you have weight loss, it needs to be evaluated,â€? said Dr. Mu-

hammed Iqbal, gastroenterologist with Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. GERD can sometimes be a symptom of other conditions such as asthma, esophageal cancer or a precancerous condition called Barrett’s esophagus. â– Constipation – Americans spend $725 million a year on laxatives, trying to facilitate a bowel movement. â– Diarrhea – Constipation’s “evil twinâ€? causes repeated trips to the bathroom. Usually diarrhea is brought on by mild infections of the colon or small intestine. â– Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) – IBS is an intestinal disorder that causes abdominal pain, cramping or bloating and diarrhea or constipation. â– Inammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) – Another name for either Crohn’s disease or ulcertative colitis. The disease stems from inammation of the colon. â– Diverticular disease –The colon 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. â– Colorectal cancer – The digestive system is home to more cancers and causes more cancer mortalities than any other organ system in the body. Colon cancer affects more than 100,000 Americans each year. The good news is that most colon cancer is preventable through regular screening. “Colon cancer deaths have decreased because 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,â€? Iqbal says, adding that the most important thing to remember is that “colonoscopy saves lives.â€?

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

basis. At ďŹ rst she went every month, and now sees Jackson several times each year.

Her procedure is done at the Center for Digestive Health at Fort Sanders Regional and takes about 15-20 minutes. “I’m

down and back in a day,� said Robbins, noting that she eats softer foods immediately following ful doctor. That whole group, they’re great – so wonderful the procedure. “Dr. Jackson is a wonder- and caring.�

Sweet words from the Candy Lady, who can more easily swallow the foods she enjoys.

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 gastroenterologists (specialists in digestive disorders) diagnose and treat the cause of “GI blues.�

The Fort Sanders Center 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, inDr. Mark Jackson, Gastroenterologist cluding the following:

Colonoscopy Colonoscopy 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 inserting a 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 history of colon cancer, in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,â€? says Dr. Jackson. “The thing I’ve learned over the past 25 years is the importance of getting people past the fear and embarrassment 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 intestine, which cannot be viewed with traditional upper endoscopy or colonoscopy. The camera

takes multiple pictures of the small intestine as it passes through the bowel. The most common use is to search for causes of bleeding from the small intestine. It can also be used to test for Crohn’s disease and small bowel tumors.

On the day prior to the procedure a laxative solution is given to cleanse the small intestine.

The PillCam is then swallowed and passes through the digestive tract while transmitting video images to a recorder worn on the patient’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 procedure is the visual examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract using a lighted exible endoscope. It is performed in an outpatient setting and utilizes intravenous sedation to relax the patient. The endoscope is inserted through the mouth into the esophagus, stomach, and upper part of the small intestine. 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 exible lighted tube is passed through the mouth and into the stomach and upper intestine to visualize the opening to ducts from the liver and pancreas. Once identiďŹ ed, a narrow plastic tube is passed through the scope into the duct, where a dye is injected and X-rays are taken. If the exam shows a gallstone or narrowing of the ducts, specialized equipment can be used to remove the stones or relieve the obstruction. The exam takes 30-60 minutes.
