Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett stopped by the Love Kitchen last week to see founders Helen Ashe and Ellen Turner and to drop off a special delivery thanks to The Holiday Festival of Lights at The Cove at Concord Park.

As the mayor walked through the kitchen doors to greet the twins, he received as much in hugs and smiles as he brought to the kitchen. Ashe and Turner chatted up a storm with the mayor and piled on hug after hug prior to the presentation.

Thanks to the generosity of Knoxvillians, the Love Kitchen was presented with more than $2,500 in cash and nearly 2,500 pounds of food. The festival is a free event presented by the Parks and Recreation Department. Visitors were encouraged to donate food items needed by the Love Kitchen to continue providing meals and emergency food packages to families in need.

More delays for Western Avenue

By Greg Householder

FEATURED COLUMNIST MARVIN WEST

As workers for the Parks and Recreation Department wheeled in barrels and carried in boxes packed with nonperishable food items, the sisters squealed with delight and could not quit thanking everyone for their donations.

“They are national treasures,” Burchett said of Ashe and Turner.

“They are very honorable people.”

Ashe and Turner are on a continuous mission to feed the homeless, helpless, homebound and hungry people in Knoxville. Through the donations they are able to help even more people. It is something that the pair truly enjoys. If you have never been to the Love Kitchen, stop by, sign up to volunteer and receive one of the best hugs in town.

Improvements to Western Avenue, first revealed in October 2007, could be delayed until 2015 because of a snag called the “Shanklin Law.” TDOT officials outlined the dilemma at a community meeting last week at the L.T. Ross Building.

As designed, Western Avenue (State Route 62) would be widened from Texas Avenue to Major Avenue, including the railroad crossings at Keith Avenue. And those crossings created the dilemma.

The Shanklin Law essentially says that in the case of a Federal Aid Project (i.e. receiving any federal funding) “if there is a grade crossing (of a railroad track or tracks) within 200 feet of a transportation project, a review is required for adequacy of the crossing and its warning devices. If the grade crossing review recommends upgrades to the crossing then the upgrades must be made and/or measures taken to close the crossing.”

So it was back to the drawing

board for TDOT and the SR62 project.

TDOT and its consulting engineers came up with four options: Option One: to hold existing horizontal alignments of SR62, Keith Avenue and Western Avenue, adjust their profile grades, and redesign the SR62/Keith Avenue intersection and at-grade crossing to meet current standards.

Option Two: to shift the centerline of SR62 approximately 75 feet to the north, redesign SR62/Keith Avenue intersection and at-grade crossing to meet current standards, and adjust vertical alignment on SR62 and Keith Avenue.

Option Three: to connect Keith Avenue and Sterchi Street while closing the existing railroad crossing on Keith Avenue. This would move traffic from one dual at-grade crossing at Keith Avenue to two separate at-grade crossings. One crossing will be located at Century Street and the other at the intersection of Century Street and Proctor Street.

Option Four: to realign Keith

Joe Deering with Neel-Schaffer Inc., the consulting engineer for the State Route 62 Western Avenue project, explains the design at the TDOT public information meeting last Tuesday in the L.T. Ross Building. Photo by Greg Householder Avenue and eliminate the existing railroad crossing by building a bridge over the tracks to cross over to the other side of Keith Avenue.

TDOT has chosen Option Four.

TDOT and its consulting engineers, Neel-Schaffer Inc., made their pitch last Tuesday to a goodsized crowd of interested citizens, politicians and media at the L.T. Ross Building near the project site.

The project will begin near Texas Avenue and proceed east. It will then encompass Schofield Road (across the tracks from the current Western Avenue which will remain the same) and end at Major Avenue. This would include the relocation of Massachusetts Avenue and the redesign of Keith Avenue with a bridge over the tracks and connecting the current Western Avenue with the new SR62.

So now it is a waiting game.

The project is not yet funded, but right-of-way acquisition is projected to begin this year with construction tentatively planned for 2013. TDOT project manager Mike Russell told those attending Tuesday’s meeting that, realistically, funding may not be available for three years, which would push the project back to 2015.

Bonuses and billboards at County Commission

By Sandra Clark

Expect fireworks from Commissioners R. Larry Smith, Richard Briggs and Tony Norman at today’s County Commission meeting, which gets underway at 2 p.m. and is viewable on Comcast Channel 12.

Smith wants discussion of the county’s certification process and bonus policies.

He’s hammered on bonus payments by Trustee John Duncan before certification work was complete, leading to Duncan’s decision to pay back part of the bonuses while referring to Smith as “grandstanding.”

Briggs wants to extend the county’s moratorium on electronic billboards, draw-

Norman wants to strip the Briggs Amendment off the Hillside and Ridgetop Protection Plan.

government City Council must lead on Lakeshore A-4 • JANUARY 23, 2012 • POWELL SHOPPER-NEWS

State officials (i.e. Gov. Bill Haslam and Mental Health Commissioner Doug Varney) say two things up front about closing Lakeshore Mental Health Institute: 1. It’s not a done deal.

2. It’s not about the money.

And while hardly anybody will admit it on the record, nobody with a lick of sense believes them. It is a done deal. It is about the money.

That’s why City Council’s State Reps. Harry Brooks (left) and Bill Dunn talk with school board vice chair Indya Kincannon following Thursday’s State 8-1 vote last week to table a of the Schools address. Brooks, Dunn and Rep. Ryan Haynes white paper regarding the closing of Lakeshore makes drove in from Nashville to attend the session. Photo by S. Clark little sense. The report was prepared by the Mayor’s Council on Disability Issues.

And the council’s rejection of it sent a signal that local government is not willing to take a strong, proactive stand to ensure fair treatment for one of the most vulnerable segments of society, the mentally ill.

a workable transition plan and to allow that working group to become the nucleus of a collaborative effort to improve mental health services and delivery.

Another newbie, Finbarr Saunders, made a motion to accept the 58-page CODI document, but failed to get a second after Council member Brenda Palmer said she was worried about the “implications” of the white paper and made the motion to table it, which means that a separate vote will be required to bring it back up for consideration. (Later, she said that having it presented in resolution form was a big source of her heartburn.)

Duane Grieve, who represents the 2nd District where what’s left of Lakeshore resides, seconded the motion and said he shares Palmer’s concerns that approval of the CODI report would be interpreted as an endorsement of its recommenda-

Betty Bean as fair treatment for Lakeshore employees, historic preservation and looking out for city taxpayers who already feel put upon by a burgeoning homeless population.

In a gutsy move, newbie member Mark Campen cast the only dissenting vote.

The CODI document recommended that city government support the closure of Lakeshore, but only if the resulting savings are reinvested in community-based services and if it undertakes its own study of potential costs to the city and how the closure will affect Knoxville residents.

The report also advocated a working group to collaborate with the state to develop

tions, despite Law Director Charles Swanson’s observation that many past councils have routinely approved and accepted such documents without repercussion.

Nick Della Volpe observed that the governor and the commissioner can promise that funding will follow the patients, but it will be up to the legislatures of the future to honor those promises – and therefore nobody can make long-term guarantees. Nick Pavlis recommended waiting to see what the Legislature of the present decides to do.

Wait for the Legislature to act? Lakeshore is closing June 30. Five months out is not too soon to make a plan, which is what CODI has stepped up and done. If City Council members don’t like CODI’s plan, they should get together and make a better one. And inform the Legislature what Knoxville wants.

The clock is ticking.

The pension study task force chaired by Bob Cross continues to meet at KCDC with few in attendance. It is unclear if it will make any substantive proposals for change in the city plan despite rising costs to the city treasury. Mayor Rogero has to add $13 million for pension shortfalls in her first city budget this May. In 2013, she will need to add at least $14.6 million more.

The issue seems to have been forgotten.

County Commission

Meet Judge Steve Sword The first thing you must know about the young attorney who replaced Criminal Court Judge Richard Baumgartner is that he’s not Richard Baumgartner.

Steve Sword was appointed by Gov. Bill Haslam from a list of three lawyers recommended by the Judicial Selection Commission.

The former prosecutor and graduate of UT College of Law said he was thinking about running for district attorney when the judge’s job became open following the resignation of Baumgartner.

Attorney General Randy Nichols is not expected to seek re-election.

Sword said Knox County needed a judge “to restore trust and to be a servant to the community.” He spoke last week to the Halls Republican Club.

“Now that people want to hear what I’ve got to say, I can’t say anything,” he joked.

Sword said there’s no way to instill perfect justice, but “most of the time the jury gets it right.”

Perhaps from his experience as a prosecutor, Sword is mindful of getting a case to trial quickly. While all judges work hard, he said defense attorneys often try to delay trials, particularly when their clients are out on bail. Every day of delay is another day they are not convicted felons.

And attorneys usually have several balls in the air at once. They grab the ones that are about to hit the floor first.

No lawyer works on a case until it’s within three weeks of trial, he said.

“I will set deadlines. You will not get a trial date until the defendant says he

won’t accept a plea bargain.

I’ll tell the defendant what the penalties will be if convicted, and then set a trial date. I won’t accept a plea on (high level) felonies on trial day,” Sword said. “And I’ll give you a trial within two months.”

In October, Sword’s second month on the bench, the three divisions of Criminal Court closed 200 felony cases. Sword closed 108 of them. The three divisions collected $78,000 in fines and fees. Of that, Sword collected $32,000.

The young man loves the job and plans to work hard.

He promises not to embarrass the county.

He graduated from UT law school and King College in Bristol. He’s a captain in the U.S. Army Reserve and is active at Fellowship Evangelical Free Church. He and his wife, Alice, have two daughters.

PBA regroups, sort of Mayors come and go, but the Knoxville-Knox County Public Building Authority rolls on.

Meeting to reorganize last week, the group re-elected its officers: Billy Stokes, chair; Winston Frazier, vice chair; George Prosser, secretary. Those three plus Scott Davis and Keena Ogle make up the executive committee.

Other members are Tierney Bates, Lewis Cosby, Jennifer Holder, Dr. Rocio Huet, Chip Miller and F.

Leaks abound And we’re not talking Judge Steve Sword about those employees in the Trustee’s Office who keep calling R. Larry Smith.

No, these leaks are falling on the desk of Dr. Bill Lyons, deputy to Mayor Madeline Rogero.

PBA chief Dale Smith said he decided to use rappellers to wash windows PBA chair Billy Stokes at the City County Building. That meant the railing for scaffolds could be torn down. But the railing was “embedded in the membrane roof” and punched a hole, said Smith.

“It leaked on Dr. Lyons.”

PBA got a half million dollars insurance settlement for hail damage to re- Tim Howell place the roof so all’s well.

Senior Citizens Home Assistance seeks county aid Tim Howell said Knox County has a ways to go toward fulfilling a commitment made by former Mayor Mike Ragsdale toward building the agency’s new facility.

Speaking at County Commission’s workshop last week, Howell said Ragsdale promised a $3 million challenge grant to Senior Citizens Home Assistance and the group has “done what we said,” raising more than $5 million.

Knox County has paid $2.4 million, leaving a $556,000 balance. Commissioners told him to meet with Mayor Tim Burchett to seek help in the county’s 2013 budget.

‘I’m here! Yes!’ Becky Massey hit the wrong button on her first state Senate vote. The panel on each legislator’s desk offers three choices: green for yes, red for no and blue for present (no vote).

When the speaker called for a roll call of members, 32 senators hit blue and Massey hit green. The colors flashed on the wall for everyone to see. And now Massey is getting some digs from her colleagues.

A-6 • JANUARY 23, 2012 • POWELL SHOPPER-NEWS

Remembering Dr. Malcolm Cobb Farragut Cleaners. At the new facility he was joined in his practice by Dr. Hollis Duncan, and the Cobb-Duncan Clinic offered excellent medical services to the community for many years. Both physicians regularly made house calls and in many instances helped birth children at a patient’s home.

There were no regular office hours for these two physicians. They were on call 24 hours every day, and an emergency call from a patient’s family at midnight would bring them to your home within 30 minutes. Ambulance service at that time in rural areas was mostly offered through funeral homes, and it often took up to an hour

before an ambulance arrived.

If the patient was critical, Dr. Cobb would get them to his car and drive them to the hospital to save time and, often, the patient’s life.

Our home was located on the street behind the Cobb residence, so we usually managed to get to his home when someone was ill. I can remember him turning me over his knees and giving me a shot in the rump while I protested loudly because his daughter, Julia, was peeking around the corner at me in this compromising position. But on numerous occasions he would just walk over with his medical bag. Just his presence in the room made you feel better when he would say, “He’ll be OK – it’s just that mean old flu that’s been going around.”

With his experience in the war, he could have enjoyed a practice as a successful surgeon, which would have resulted in better compensation, but Dr. Cobb saw a need in the community for good medical services and he

chose to fill it.

During his years of practice in the small office behind his residence, Dr. Cobb never had many of the modern conveniences that physicians have today, including an answering service and secretaries. However, Mrs. Cobb was an RN and was there when needed. He did, however, have an “unofficial answering service” thanks to our telephone company.

Retha Hammonds ran the switchboard from her home and could see his small office from her window. When someone would call for Dr. Cobb, she could look to see if his car was there. If he was not there, she would tell the caller that he was out, but she would call them back when he came home. I am not sure Dr. Cobb was ever aware of his answering service.

I have many fond memories of the Cobb family, particularly his son, Malcolm, who was my age and my best friend. But I also had some embarrassing moments.

One particular instance was

in my capacity as best man at his wedding. Dr. Cobb gave me a check to pay the preacher. After the ceremony, I couldn’t find the check, and after frantic searching I had to admit that I had lost it. Of course, Dr. Cobb simply wrote another check, but at the time I thought it was an unforgivable dereliction of my duty.

The Cobb family moved to a beautiful new twostory brick residence on Kingston Pike in the 1950s.

As of this writing, the house still remains and is part of the Cosco property at the corner of Kingston Pike and Lovell Road. From the Pike you can tell that the house has been gutted and is slated for demolition.

But, in its time, it was one of the finest homes on the Pike. But like many stately homes along the Pike, it too has fallen victim to the march of progress.

However, for many of us “oldsters,” it will always be the home of our beloved physician.

Next comes salesmanship.

Following yes is the task of maintaining agreements as coaches switch jobs.

Sometimes there is unscrupulous bombardment.

may make promises they do not keep. Sometimes they make promises they have no intention of keeping. Sometimes they just change their minds. Daily, hourly, minute by minute.

Indeed, hearts are broken and spirits are crushed.

Weeks, months, even years invested in relationship building go to waste in an instant.

Recruiting is bloody mean on both sides. Coaches tell big, fast Frankie that he is the man of their AllAmerican dreams, the only middle linebacker on the recruiting board. Frankie says “cool” and count me in.

Committed!

Those same coaches conclude, after careful video study, that Charley, in another township, is bigger and faster than Frank,

meaner, too, with genuine linebacker hair on his chest.

The same sales pitch is delivered. Charley swallows a huge helping and pledges allegiance.

Frankie eventually realizes something is seriously wrong, no more happy calls or witty texting. Silent message? He should consider other opportunities, he doesn’t exactly fit the new and better plan.

But there was a commitment.

Oh? Pressure peaks on both sides when coaches must pry a committed athlete from rival clutches. Adults contribute to juvenile delinquency. They suggest it. Encourage it. Demand it.

Rewards far outweigh risks. It doesn’t matter what you told that other coach.

This is a better deal – for both of us.

Some coaches, fighting for their professional lives, chose survival over integrity.

Then, there is the NCAA moat, one-year scholarships, 25 max, renewable at the coach’s option, 85 total, impossible calculations, public relations nightmare.

Coaches can exchange people against the big number by creating vacancies. There are induced transfers and occasional medical discharges and the almost always available violation of team rules.

Privacy laws conveniently prevent explanation.

Sadly, the majority motto this time of year is do whatever it takes, just win, baby.

If you spill a little blood, we’ll mop.

oday, our area is fortunate to have stateof-the-art medical services that are within minutes from most locations. The new Medical Center of Turkey Creek and Parkwest Medical Center are recognized as premier facilities and offer services that would have been available only in major metropolitan areas 60 years ago.

But the community was fortunate to have one of the finest physicians a small community could hope for in Dr. Malcolm F. Cobb. After graduating from the University of Tennessee Medical School, he opened a small office in 1934 at the rear of his residence at the corner of Olive Street and Third Street.

He continued his practice there until he entered military service in 1942.

He served in the European Theater during World War II and was decorated for bravery under fire. On one occasion he continued to perform surgery and treat soldiers in a medical tent near the front lines where incoming enemy artillery rounds were sending shrapnel through the tent.

Dr. Cobb never talked about his military service and most of what we later learned came from official sources.

After the war he returned to his small office, where he continued his practice for several years before moving to a new facility on Kingston Pike just east of present-day

In others, they are having a hard time because they have made bad decisions. (Who hasn’t, at one time or another?) And in still others, their troubles are caused by not acting: by not doing that thing – small or large – which might begin to turn the situation around.

CROSS CURRENTS | Lynn Hutton Linus, that philosopher of the Peanuts gang, explained it to Lucy this way: “Hoping Why do you want the day of the Lord? to goodness is not theologiIt is darkness, not light; cally sound.” as if someone fled from a lion, That was his final word and was met by a bear; on the subject. He did not or went into the house and rested a hand against go on to explain what works the wall, and was bitten by a snake. better than “hoping to good(Amos 5: 18-20 NRSV) ness.”

So the Good Book do declare.

messes I have gotten myself into. I can’t just hope that God will provide a living for me, or a future, or a dream.

I can (and do) hope that God will give me a level playing field, like the preacher in the old song quoted above: “Oh, Lord, Lord, if you can’t help me, for goodness’ sake, don’t you help that bear!”

I can (and do) expect that God will be with me and guide me (if I am willing to be led). I also believe that God expects me to think on my own account – to use the sense God gave me.

I can (and do) expect that God will forgive me when I mess up (for which I am immensely grateful), because the psalmist sings that “… as far as the east is from the west, so far he removes our transgressions from us.”

(Psalm 103:12) And I can (and do) expect that at the last, God will open His everlasting arms and receive me into His embrace. Which is, of course, hoping to goodness.

By Cindy Taylor Substance abuse in Union County has been at the top of everyone’s radar for the past two years. Many organizations in the city and county have lent their services, and individuals have volunteered their time to get the word out and draw support for program implementation.

Enter iCARe Coalition Union County.

ICARe is the Initiative for Community and Adolescent Resilience engaging Union County. This group has spent two years in building a foundation of love and caring for teens that is based on trust and understanding. Their ultimate goal is to develop a strategy for combating the underage and binge drinking problem in Union County.

Implemented by chair Eddie Graham, coordinator Lanelle Mulkey and counselor Greg Schmid in 2010 through a $50,000 Developing Coalition state grant, iCARe Union County Coalition is affiliated with Enforcing Underage Drinking

Eddie Graham, Lanelle Mulkey and Greg Schmid of iCARe Union County Photo by C. Taylor Laws (EUDL). Susan Dillingham has worked with Union County at the state level and was instrumental in writing the grant.

“Our first goal was to let people know that there is a problem,” said Graham who is the coordinator for school health for the Union County school system. “Our numbers have come through a survey we did at the high school on binge and underage drinking.”

Much from that survey will startle people, especially

parents who think they know their children.

Among Union County High School students, more than 60 percent claimed to have used alcohol. Right at 40 percent said they had used alcohol in the past 30 days.

More than 31 percent said they had participated

These are frightening numbers.

CPR saves lives

By Rob Webb CardiopulmonaryResuscitation, or CPR, can mean the difference between life and death for cardiac arrest patients.

Webb But sadly, an alarming majority of Americans are afraid to administer CPR because they don’t know how.

Cardiac arrests are more common than you think, and 80 percent of them occur at home. So the life you save with CPR could likely be someone you love.

In a cardiac emergency, the most important thing is to keep blood flowing.

The Powell High School basketball teams split games with Karns and Hardin Valley Academy.

On Friday the 13th, bad luck plagued the Panther boys as Powell fell 69-59 to Karns. Luck was with the girls as the Panthers won 57-41.

Joey Macourek and Steven Parsons led the boys with 11 points. Jack Rase added 10 in the loss to the Beavers.

Alexis Gillespie led the Powell girls with 13 points.

Maddy Blackwelder added 12 and Shea Coker had 10 against Karns.

Last Tuesday, it was the boys turn to win the split against Hardin Valley Academy. The boys downed the Hawks big 65-45 behind Clay Payne’s 17 points. Macourek added 13 and Dallas Fields had 10 in the win over the Hawks.

The girls lost a heartbreaker to the Hawks 45-42 in a thriller that went down to the wire. Coker led the Powell girls with 14 points.

Last Friday, the Panthers took on Clinton. Results of Friday’s game were unavailable at press time.

The Panthers will entertain Campbell County on

The staff at Young-Williams would like you to meet 5-year-old Greta, a female Eskimo/Australian shepherd mix. Her adoption fee has been prepaid by her Furry Friend, so she is free to her new family. This girl loves to run and may do best with a family that has a large fenced yard, although she also enjoys being indoors as well. She adores people and will benefit from gentle guidance and structure. Greta is available for adoption at the main center at 3210 Division St. The “new” center at Young-Williams Animal Village is at 6400 Kingston Pike. Both facilities are open daily from noon to 6 p.m. Visit www.young-williams.org to see photos of all of the center’s adoptables and call 215-6599 for more information about each pet.

Sharing love one stitch at a time Quilters at the Halls Senior Center spend much of their time together giving to others. In the past two years, the group (sometimes consisting of two people, other times close to a dozen) has made 568 quilts that have been donated to Children’s Hospital for the pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

Ruth White

This lively group of women get together at the center every Thursday morning at 10 and chat, share stories and get busy making beautiful quilts. “We take donations, learn new techniques and are just happy to see new people stop by,” said quilter Iro Novak.

quick Valentine’s Day gifts.

Students need to bring felt squares, embroidery thread, needle and buttons to acces-

sorize the hearts. The class will meet at 1 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 26. Call the center to preregister, 922-0416.

Levy went on to say the interaction with a HABIT animal helps the children gain self-confidence and can improve their ability to relate to others (both humans and animals).

Animals in the program have passed both a medical and behavioral test and are paired with trained volunteers who are evaluated regularly.

The human-animal duo of Katja and Levy have been visiting Cobb’s room for about four years. In addition to Katja, there are six other HABIT dogs that also visit the school.
