The parks are the top choices for a pilot program to try entrance fees proposed earlier this year as a way to help bolster state parks.

Brentwood pastor King elected bishop The Rev. James King pastor of Brentwood United Methodist Church, was elected a bishop Friday in the United Methodist Church. King, 52, received the necessary votes on the 19th ballot from delegates at the Southeastern Jurisdiction Conference in Lake Junaluska, N.C.

"I'm just numb. I'm shocked, grateful and humbled," King said. "In coming here, I felt like I was standing in the middle of the bridge, seeking direction from God." King has been minister for one year at the Brentwood church, which has about 5,000 members, making it the largest United Methodist congregation in the Tennessee Annual Conference, the regional Midstate district. I le formerly served as pastor of ('lark Memorial United Methodist Church in Nashville. Survivors ax Gretchen Gretchen Cordy of Clarksvillc was voted off the popular CBS show Survivor Wednesday night, leaving nine people behind to continue vying for the $1 million Will hearing the Tennessee Waltz 17 times a day from the state's new $4 million carillon at the Tennessee Bicentennial Capitol Mall drive people in the neighborhood bonkers? No, says state architect Mike Fitts.

"I feel confident it is not going to do that. If it is a nuisance, we will turn it (the volume) down." After a four-year delay, the 95-bell Tennessee Carillon began ringing out such tunes as Tennessee Waltz and Love Me Tender at noon Friday to celebrate the state's rich musical heritage. Starting yesterday, the bells began ringing out songs on the hour between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. at the mall, just behind the state Capitol.

The carillon has been under construction for the past 18 months. City needs $20 million in ADA improvements Metro government may have to spend more than $20 million in the next four years to bring the city into compliance with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act, as part of a deal reached with the U.S. Department of Justice. The agreement, which must be approved by the Metro Council before it's final, allows the city to continue receiving millions in federal dollars while it works on making public buildings more accessible to people with disabilities. Federal law, including the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, allows the government to withhold federal money from cities that have not complied.

Officials said Wednesday that total cost will depend on a survey of government buildings and services. The $20 million is an estimate done by Mayor Phil Bred-esen's administration more than a year ago. American Ironware will fashion a so-called donor recognition wall inside the Frist's rear entrance nearest Union Station.

Drug suspects held despite court ruling Two people arrested last week on charges of possessing 264 pounds of marijuana thought they were free to go when a Davidson County General Sessions judge ruled Wednesday afternoon that Metro police did not have sufficient reason to search their tractor-trailer rig.

But local prosecutors quickly contacted federal drug enforcement agents, and a U.S. magistrate issued a new marijuana possession charge late Wednesday afternoon against Varohando Ly-vette McDonald, 32, of Amarillo, Texas, and Ray Marshall Rcid, 38, of Hempstead, N.Y. McDonald and Reid were released Thursday morning from the Metro Jail into the custody of federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents. General Sessions Judge Mike Mondelli ruled, after a preliminary hearing Wednesday, that Metro police did not have a valid reason to search the truck after stopping it July 6 for careless driving near the Bellevue exit on Interstate 40. So Mondelli dismissed drug possession charges against the driver, McDonald, and her passenger, Reid, that were based on the discovery of 26 pounds of marijuana in the trailer, in the midst of boxes of Styrofoam dinner plates.

But Metro Jail officials held McDonald and Reid overnight until they could be arrested on a federal charge of possessing marijuana with intent to distribute. candidates would be voted off by an alliance because those candidates would prove to be a threat. In last week's Tennessean reader survey on who should be booted next, Cordy received only a handful of votes. Union Hill shut down Metro Schools Director Bill Wise announced Thursday that Union Hill Flementary, a small, dose-knit school that has been a focal point in northern Davidson County for more than 50 years, will close because of a lack of students. Despite working vigorously for months to keep the school open, Union Hill parents were unable to find enough students to convince the school system it would be financially feasible.

The school, which served 130 students last year, had only 72 students confirmed for 2000-01. The school board had asked parent leaders to come up with 110 committed students. "There just simply aren't sufficient numbers, to be fair," Wise told 77ie Tennessean Wednesday.
