County OK’s Halls greenway

FEATURED COLUMNIST BETTY BEAN

The Halls area “park to school link” greenway project was OK’d by County Commission last week, the final hurdle before construction can begin. Knox County will use $501,282 in federal pass-through money from TDOT, with a local match of $125,320, said Mayor Tim Burchett.

The Halls project, along with a greenway in Plumb Creek Park on Hickey Road in northwest Knox County, was funded when Burchett was a state senator. Former

Sen. Jamie Woodson was instrumental in securing the Halls funds. Knox County’s match primarily will be labor from the departments of Parks and Recreation and Engineering and Public Works.

Commission approval was unanimous.

The one-mile Halls project will connect Halls Elementary School to Norris Freeway. The new greenway will pass through Clayton Park at Halls.

“This project will provide a safe route for students who

walk to school, as well as additional recreational opportunities for Halls residents,” said Burchett. “These are much-needed improvements that will increase pedestrian accessibility in the Halls community.”

The numbers can be stunning.

A Corryton resident was billed $56,200, later reduced to $44,200, to contain a fire in April 2009. More recently, Mary Kiser’s father received a bill for more than $18,000 from Rural/Metro to extinguish a blaze at a trailer he paid $2,500 for 20 years ago.

Speaking at the recent County Commission luncheon, Kiser said the bill represented two years of Social Security benefits for her father.

Contacted late last week, she said a compromise was in the works.

Sources close to Rural/Metro say these incidents are uncommon. But when they do occur, the wisdom of subscribing to Rural/Metro or the fire department serving your community in the county becomes apparent.

Before Kiser spoke, Chief Jerry Harnish of Rural/Metro provided commissioners with an overview of the department’s costs. For unlucky county residents such as Kiser’s father, one number stood out in the chief’s presentation. The cost for subscribing to Rural/Metro for the owner of a 1, 500 to 2,000 square

foot house is about $264 annually.

The comparable subscription cost in Shelby County is $366, Harnish said. If calculated as cost per capita, the method used by the International City Management Association, Knox County residents pay $60 compared to more than $150 in Shelby County.

Harnish said nonsubscribers use about 40 percent of the department’s services but pay only about 2.5 percent of the costs. Some costs are unrecoverable, such as personnel and equipment utilized in the Tedford Road landfill fire in 2008.

There’s nothing mysterious about the bill a nonsubscriber may face for containing a fire, Harnish said. He acknowledged that anyone getting a $1,500 invoice for extinguishing a

fire in a car worth $800 may not see the value, but it reflects the actual costs, which he pegged at $1,500 per hour – annual expenses divided by annual hours worked.

Among the biggest issues facing the industry are the costs for nonsubscribers and the “fragility” of volunteer services, Harnish said. A utility district service charge could address these issues in part and reduce the cost to former subscribers by bringing anyone with a water meter into the system.

Harnish said a special district tax would allow the most equitable distribution of costs and allow the county to specify service levels.

However, instituting it might require modification of the county procurement code.

Mayor Tim Burchett’s office and left most observers scratching their heads. Now a review of the scores awarded to the project finalists by the county’s evaluation committee reveals how close the competition was and how the rankings of one evaluator changed the outcome for the runner-up, Partners Development, and may have sealed the fate of the project.

The six-member evaluation committee was chaired

by Mitch Steenrod, a senior executive with Pilot Travel Centers. Developer Buzz Goss, Mathew Myers from county purchasing, Doug Dillingham with the school system, local executive Kevin Wilson and UT architecture professor Tricia Stuth rounded out the committee.

The finalists were the Devon Group, Hewlett Spencer LLC, Municipal Capital Markets Inc. and Partners Development. The proposals were rated in five categories: cost, adherence to program standards, time to complete, innovation and “identification and complete understanding” of any proposed financ-

ing arrangement.

Cost, which considered the long-term operating costs of the facility in addition to the contract amount, was worth 35 points. Program standards was assigned 30 points and time to complete 15. Innovation and understanding proposed financing were worth 10 points each.

Thus a perfect score was 100, and a proposal could receive a maximum score of 600 when the individual evaluations were totaled.

Hewlett Spencer and Municipal Capital Markets finished with scores of 541.63 and 539. 2 respectively. Both lagged the leaders by a fair margin. The Devon Group edged Partners Development

558.22 to 552.5.

In order, these were the individual scores for the Devon Group and Partners Development: ■ Goss – 98, 97 ■ Dillingham – 96.8, 97.5 ■ Steenrod – 94, 97 ■ Stuth – 94, 78 ■ Wilson – 93.12, 96 ■ Myers – 82.3, 87 A glance at the list reveals that Myers was not as impressed with the proposals as his fellow committee members. His rankings for all the finalists ranged from 82.3 to 87.1.

But Stuth’s score of 78 for Partners Development leaps off the page. Statistically, it’s an “outlier,” although not a

“significant” outlier.

The Shopper-News asked purchasing director Hugh Holt if he considered dropping Stuth’s score from the ranking because it differed so markedly from the others.

“We looked at that,” Holt said. “We’re numbers people.”

In the end, he said, “everybody on the committee” felt Stuth had performed conscientiously, that her ranking was not “arbitrary or capricious.”

A closer look at the evaluation shows most of the difference in Stuth’s scores for Devon and Partners derives from two areas, cost and innovation. Innovation encompasses nearly any aspect of To page A-2

Carter proposal From page A-1 the design that could reduce costs, increase efficiency or “greatly enhance the educational experience.� Stuth awarded the Devon Group 32 points for cost and 8 for innovation. Partners Development earned 27 points for cost and none for innovation, a 13-point swing that clinched the top ranking for Devon.

Although Partners’ proposed cost was roughly $1 million below the $13.8 million price tag negotiated with Devon, Devon’s proposal included innovations in energy efficiency. Municipal Capital Markets also rated a

zero in innovation on Stuth’s scorecard.

It was a judgment call to retain Stuth’s ratings. While her integrity and good faith efforts are not in question, the unintended consequence of retaining the outlier ranking may be to quash the effort to build rather than renovate in Carter.

The school board reluctantly came to the table the first time. The second time around may prove a harder sell for the mayor.

The Shopper-News attempted to contact Stuth about her rankings. She did not respond to our questions.

He said his major TYP complaint was that decisions were being made by “a very small group of people. Knoxville needs to be run by the people and their representatives, not by a small group.”

His major opponent, Finbarr Saunders, who served as 4th District County Commissioner until his defeat last summer, didn’t go on the attack, but he didn’t hesitate to draw distinctions between his resume and Peabody’s, citing his own work as a founder of the Bearden Council.

“That is an example of how I operate in the community – get people together, get them talking and then represent those interests. For 40 years I’ve been going to meetings similar to this, and I did none of this community work thinking I would run for political office,” he said. “Having said that, I think this prepares

Wallace said he supports ridgetop protection but opposes much of the rest of the plan, and serves on the board of the Knoxville Association of Realtors which also opposes the plan.

“I was asked and have supported voting that down,” he said. “We need more people to be involved.”

A member of the audience observed that the Realtors didn’t participate during the three years the task force was meeting, and Wallace said he regrets that: “I think that’s something they’ve learned: they need to be more involved.”

Stancil, who moved here six years ago from Memphis, said he wants to be a voice for fragile inner city neighborhoods and promised to push for consistent codes enforcement. He doesn’t like giving the Chamber Partnership public dollars, is not a fan of the Ten Year Plan and is critical of former Mayor Bill Haslam in his second term: “Bill Haslam ran Knoxville well in his first term, and the second time he was elected, we elected a mayor and we got a candidate.”

Saunders pronounced Knoxville “… in an incredibly good situation. We have incredible resources, including a wealth of connectivity with greenways and parks and county schools that are getting better all the time. We have a whole host of events downtown, and downtown Knoxville has become the sparkplug of this whole region.”

Wallace, who has a degree in landscape design, runs the family real estate firm. He chairs the Knoxville Housing Partnership and has served on numerous advisory boards including KCDC and Downtown North/275.

His most eyebrow-raising moment came when he was asked if he had been involved in arranging for busloads of local Realtors to go to the City-County Building the day that County Commission was voting on the Hillside and Ridgetop Protection Plan.

They were the headline act at the joint 3rd and 4th District Democrats’ meeting last week, to which all the at-large candidates were invited. City elections are nonpartisan, although some candidates do identify with one of the major parties.

Eyebrows went skyward all over the room when anti-Ten Year Plan to end Chronic Homelessness activist Ron Peabody (who has endorsed mayoral candidate Ivan Harmon, a Republican) made an early declaration: “I am not going to vote my conscience. I will vote the will of the people.”

I couldn’t help thinking about how James won’t get to see Anthony running kickoff returns for the Vols this fall.

The minister, of course, was right. The crowd at Greater Warner Tabernacle AME Zion Church was a reflection of a life that touched hundreds, maybe thousands, of others in everyday ways.

Exuberant, boisterous and generous in the extreme, James was hilariously braggadocios and, before his health betrayed him, gifted with physical strength and athletic ability. When his big heart started to give out, he came to know the misery of failing health. But he was always willing to share what he had with whomever he

Nobody could feel bad when James came calling.

He wouldn’t allow it.

In his youth, when he was a gifted athlete (an Anderson family trait), he took up power lifting, and muscles bulged on his fireplug frame. At one get-together, I was trying to light some charcoal and asked if

he had a match.

“Not since Superman died,” he said, grinning that face-splitting grin.

When he joined the Knoxville Fire Department, he found the perfect job. He could help people when they needed it, crack jokes with his buddies when it was slow and make time for his lawn care business. He made a smoker/ grill out of an old water heater and proclaimed his barbecue the best in town and probably the world.

But he was plagued by heart trouble, and a couple of years ago, a lung full of toxic fumes he sucked down at a house fire ended his career prematurely, and probably helped cut short his life.

One of the speakers at his funeral was a friend of his daughter Jessica’s whom he had coached in soccer. She called him Superman. How, she asked between wracking sobs, could Superman die?

I haven’t figured that one out either.

would allow the board to continue the listening session without interruption.

We do not have a written policy, but nevertheless, we believe it was the prudent way to handle a formal business meeting to ensure the safety of the public and TVA staff.”

This is from Barbara Martocci, a senior manager of public relations.

My reaction is this: “Make up the rules as you go. Hide behind security (need to identify persons, hence no masks, paint, etc.) and phony decorum (no disturbances) and publish nothing. The people learn the rules when they get there. We are the federal government and can’t be questioned. If you think we are wrong, take us to court and maybe you will get an answer in eight to 10 months.”

What is the TVA dress code? There is no written policy.

Who, then, decides what is acceptable or not? Is this not a limit of free speech least amount of distraction guaranteed under our U.S.

Windsor Gardens

For 16 years as mayor of Knoxville, I presided over public forums at City Council where citizens came in all forms of dress and costumes. Gary Hiscock came dressed as an American Indian. One person used her time to sing a song instead of making remarks. Other brought props. One asked for silence. The audience often held signs and posters reflecting their views.

It never once occurred to me or to any member of council to prohibit these citizens (some of whom did not even live in the city) from appearing, dressed as they wished and saying what they wished. Has TVA become so high and mighty that they feel they are immune from comment reflected in how someone dresses?

Of course, the same TVA tried to deny release of their top salaries until the News Sentinel threatened legal action. TVA needs to reach out to citizens and listen instead of figuring out ways to limit participation. Right now TVA is arrogantly tramping on guaranteed constitutional rights. If they can do it to Chris Irwin, it could be you next. Smokey, our UT mascot, 0had better avoid TVA public hearings. He will be barred. He might impact public safety.

Constitution? What if Lawson had worn orange paint to highlight his support of the Vols? Would a woman who wore a veil over her face due to religious reasons be barred from a TVA meeting? Would a person who wore a turban for cultural or religious reasons be barred?

Who devised these unstated standards? No one is talking. Did the board in open session vote to impose a dress code? No. What public process occurred to arrive at this questionable decision? None. Is the TVA board seriously worried about how citizens dress at their board meetings when they have more important issues? I guess so.

It is naive to think wearing makeup impacts the safety of the public and TVA staff. It may look silly and foolish but it has no impact on safety.

By barring Chris Irwin, TVA gave him a front page photo in the New Sentinel.

TVA made his day. And for what purpose? Seems to me he would have an excellent federal lawsuit against TVA for denying him his First Amendment rights.

Will he will pursue this?

Even if TVA could legally impose these standards, why bother? Who cares if someone looks foolish?

Teacher pay and tenure The current discussion of teacher pay, incentives, merit pay or what-have-you makes Lamar Alexander look like a prophet. And it makes

Sandra Clark one wonder how K-12 public education would look today had Lamar’s ideas for master teachers and merit pay been enacted in the 1980s.

A case can be made that the master teacher and incentive pay components of Alexander’s Better Schools program set his career back 20 years and killed off his chances to be U.S. president.

And all Tennesseans got for it was a lame, watered-down Career Ladder program that made no one happy. We can only hope that’s not the case with APEX. “APEX?” you say.

“Advance. Perform. Excel,” says Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre. “APE?” said school board member Karen Carson.

Ah, confusion from Day One. So McIntyre, the good soldier, scheduled three public meeting to discuss APEX (formerly known as strategic compensation). The next two are: 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 30, at Bearden High, and 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 8, at South-Doyle Middle School.

Indya Kincannon addresses teachers at Central High School’s forum on strategic compensation. “APEX is local.

Bring your ideas to your administrator. Hopefully, morale will improve.” Photo by S. Clark Last week’s was at Central High, and teachers had several questions.

APEX rates teachers on four criteria: student success (test scores, 35%), effective instruction (classroom observation, 35%), teacher leadership (measured by quality and impact, 20%), and high-needs schools (based on number of students on free/reduced lunch and longevity at that school, 10%).

Teachers can earn an extra $1,500 or $2,000 per year, and there are schoolwide and administrator awards as well.

The plan is extremely detailed, and already teachers are poking at holes.

“Morale is low,” said one.

“It’s defeating to be told that most of us will be a ‘three.’ ”

Farragut dreamin’

Former Knox County chief of staff Mike Arms drops by the Farragut Branch Library wearing a Bart Gordon T-shirt while County Mayor Tim Burchett conducts a constituent meeting inside. “I’m just looking for a computer,” said Arms.

“Wow, that used to be Dean Rice,” said a bystander. Photo by S. Clark

“Is there a quota on the 4s and 5s?”

“What are the criteria for physical education teachers?”

“Yeah, what about art and career technical education?”

“Can music teachers be evaluated by a music supervisor, someone who knows our subject?”

“What if I take maternity leave?”

“What happens when the money runs out? Will this program stay?”

Good grief! You’d think McIntyre was sticking his hands into the teachers’ pockets to take away money they’ve already got.

APEX is funded with outside money, not the general schools budget. And, yes, it might go away. But anyone who improves to earn the incentives will be left with better skills.

McIntyre said the program is not about getting rid of bad teachers, but is “trying to help teachers get better every year … better every day.” He said changes in state law will make tenure difficult to obtain and “rare,” but Knox County Schools will work with teachers who try to improve.

“Teach the children with passion. Keep learning, and you’ll be OK.”

“It’s not just putting the film on and hitting play. You had to be an PULL UP A CHAIR … | Jake Mabe engineer back then,” Reeves says.

One of Reeves’ current projects is digitizing the raw footage of WBIR’s popular “Heartland Series” from 1984-90.

“Every community needs to get out and find this stuff and contact their TV stations to see what they have. A lot of what used to be here went to the dump. And it’s like that nationwide.” (NBC-TV notoriously taped over almost every episode of the daytime version of the original “Hollywood Squares” TV show and tapes of virtually everything aired on the DuMont TV network are long gone.)

The TAMIS collection also includes virtually every kind of obsolete equipment needed for playback.

“We think this is going to be the wave of the future for educational research,” Reeves says. “There are numerous stories out there and folks are filling in the gaps. It’s a great resource if you want to do research on local history. We’ve begged for and gotten stuff donated. We have no money but we love what we do. We think it will pay off in the end.”

Grand openings TALES OF TENNESSEE | Marvin West

H

istory has taught us that anything can happen – and that possibility adds excitement to the opening of any Tennessee football season.

Indeed, there have been startling upsets in both directions, dramatic finishes and the introduction of superstars.

For some strange reason, I do not expect Montana to make the prime list of unforgettable openers. UT Martin, Western Kentucky, AlabamaBirmingham and UNLV did not. Neither did Southwestern Louisiana, East Carolina or Fresno State.

My favorite season openers? I have a few.

In late 1955, Bowden Wyatt declined an invitation to the Gator Bowl because the foe was going to be Auburn. Those same Tigers just happened to be first on the 1956 Tennessee schedule. The coach did not want them scheming against his single wing for eight consecutive months.

The 1956 opener at Birmingham’s Legion Field ended at Tennessee 35, Auburn 7. It was a knockout that launched a championship season and a host of honors for Johnny Majors.

The 3M company created the backdrop for the wonderful 1968 opener between Tennessee and Georgia. For the discount price of $230,000, athletic director Bob Woodruff and young coach Doug Dickey purchased a magic carpet to cover Shields-Watkins Field.

Diggers dug up sacred sod and hauled away tons and tons of historic dirt. Down went a layer of crushed stone with asphalt topping, a sponge pad and a plastic cover, supposedly similar to real grass. Well, it was green.

Georgia, being far, far away, didn’t hear about this shocking development in a timely fashion. Bulldog athletic director Joel Eaves, an Auburn

man and a bit old-fashioned, went ballistic. Livid is another descriptive word.

He lashed out at Tennessee for making this radical change without discussing it. He said Georgia might find cause to void the contract and stay home.

Georgia came to the game.

Tennessee took a 7-0 lead.

Georgia caught up and went ahead. Georgia went up by eight with an 80-yard breakaway in the fourth quarter.

Game over. The end.

Facing sure defeat, Bubba Wyche generated a little late entertainment for Vol faithful.

Surprisingly, the fun lasted the length of the field, 16 plays, including a fourth-down completion and finally, a touchdown pass to Gary Kreis.

Time expired with the ball in the air.

In a miracle among miracles, Bubba followed with a two-point conversion strike to tight end Ken DeLong.

Eight points after the game was over, 17-17 tie, terrific opener, best show ever on Doug’s rug.

Great opener in ’98, Tennessee at Syracuse, new Tee Martin against Donovan McNabb, seesaw struggle with five lead changes. The gutty Vols, two points behind, launched a last-ditch drive but it died on a fourth-down incompletion.

But wait, behold the yellow swath of cloth on the green turf, penalty against the home team for pass interference.

Amazing.

New life for the visitors.

Terrific response. Jeff Hall field goal on the final play, Vols win 34-33, first step toward the national championship.

Unbelievable first game in 2006, a joyous 35-18 rout of California. Domination of a ranked foe was complete rejuvenation from the previous season which was not very good. Erik Ainge was again

Why we call it the present For all our days pass away under your wrath; our years come to an end like a sigh. The days of our life are 70 years, or perhaps 80 if we are strong; even then their span is only toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away.

(Psalm 90: 9-10 NRSV) 1. There will be enough.

2. There wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be any extra.

3. It may not be exactly what you would choose.

4. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come until you absolutely have to have it.

5. When in doubt, see Rule Number One. (The Rules of Manna from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bread of Heaven,â&#x20AC;?

Cross Currents, Feb. 2, 2009) Is it plagiarism if you quote yourself?

Two and a half years ago, at a moment when I was between jobs and wondering â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next?â&#x20AC;? I wrote in this space the words quoted above about Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rules concerning the gift of manna to the Children of Israel in the wilderness.

I have quoted myself many times since then: to myself when the budget gets a little tight, to those I encounter in my work who are struggling and to friends who are uneasy about the economy.

At the time, I was speaking about money. This week, however, I have be-

gun to think of the days of our lives as manna as well.

Like manna, they are doled out day by day, and nothing we can do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; nothing! â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can speed them up or slow them down. Our days are given to us one at a time, and each one is precious and unique. We can use them or squander them, enjoy them or endure them.

Last week, my mother was in the hospital for a few days after a fall. Her health has been failing for some time, but this moved us into a new world of decision-making.

Then, the news that coach Pat Summitt has early onset dementia stunned everyone who loves and respects and admires her. For this woman of such intelligence, such vitality, such discipline, such intensity, such power to be stricken at her age with a disease that is usually associated with old age is unthinkable. She pledges to fight it with everything she has, and I have no doubt she will.

Still, it gives one pause.

We have no guarantees.

A 90-something preacher I once knew always answered the routine greeting â&#x20AC;&#x153;How are you?â&#x20AC;? in the same way. His emphatic answer was always, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good day.â&#x20AC;?

One morning my curiosity got the better of me, and I asked him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Henry, why do you tell me itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good day when I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t asked about the day? I asked about you!â&#x20AC;?

He grinned at me and replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;At my age, any day I wake up is a good day!â&#x20AC;?

It behooves us all to remember that. We should savor our days and use them well.

As one of the children in Family Circus says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every day is a gift; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we call it the present.â&#x20AC;?

Churches challenged Declining revenue forces review, innovation

Local pastors react to economic challenges

By Sandra Clark

By Jake Mabe

Recently, The Tennessean profiled Nashville area churches that have closed or modified their outreach since the onset of the economic downturn in 2008.

We tasked Shopper reporters to talk with church leaders to discover the impact of the economy on their congregations. While each Shopper-News paper has interviews from its community, readers can find all interviews on our website at www.

ShopperNewsNow.com/.

What did we learn?

Smaller churches are hurting worse than larger ones, which seem better able to absorb flat or declining revenue. Some churches are growing, such as Concord United Methodist which just hosted a three-day celebration of its new contemporary worship center. Others have been challenged to become “better stewards” of the Lord’s money.

According to the Tennessean, most of the state’s residents belong to congregations with fewer than 100 people, and many of those actually number fewer than 50. A 2010 survey on church giving showed small churches endured a heavy 40 percent drop in donations during the economic crisis. With far less money for building maintenance and fewer people volunteering, more congregations are considering closing down.

An example is Nashville’s LaVergne Presbyterian Church. With a congregation of seven, it will no longer collect canned goods for the food pantry or recite the Apostles’ Creed. It voted to disband after 124 years of service.

Knoxville native the Rev. Dale Peterson writes in his book, “Leave a Well in the Valley,” of a similar situation. The congregation of the oldest Baptist church in Michigan dwindled to fewer than 200 members and risked what Peterson called “death by default.” Instead, it voted to merge with another congregation, giving away approximately $11 million in assets and ending its historic mission.

The Tennessean story concludes: “Four Methodist congregations in Tennessee have closed this year, and 16 Tennessee Baptist Convention churches closed last year. All were small with well under 100 members. It

When asked about how the economic downturn has affected his church, Cross Roads Presbyterian pastor the Rev. Robert Cook says, “It’s been quite strange.

“The first year of it we were not badly affected, offering-wise. This past year, we were heavily affected by it.”

Cook says the church is trying not to get to a point at which it will have to cut back on offerings or services but says, “We’re getting close to a point where I’m not sure what we’re going to do.

“We are looking at growing, either an addition to our sanctuary or some Cook other kind of project, and we’re going to do a big outreach program in the fall. We’re looking at a new focus and re-creating our identity. Cross Roads has always been a big family church and very welcoming. They were to me and my family. We want a place where people can come as they are, no strings attached, to Cross Roads Church, a place where the community can come should they need anything.”

Cook says in mid-September the church will hold a Back to Church Sunday, “whether they come to our church or any other church.

“In one sense, the economy has been a blessing, because it’s a reminder that we’re not here for ourselves, we’re here for the community.”

The Halls Food Pantry, which is housed at the church and is served by a group of area churches and businesses and the Halls Welfare Ministry, has seen in increase in usage, but has not suffered due to lack of food.

“We are feeding 200 to 300 people at a time,” Cook says. “Sometimes the food pantry gets low, but by next time (when it opens) it’s filled back up again. The Halls community and the businesses have supported it phenomenally.”

Salem Baptist Church pastor Michael Eldridge says that Salem has been blessed financially to the point that the economy hasn’t affected the church too much.

“I don’t know that our giving is down,” Eldridge said. “I came from a situation (in Henderson, Ky.) where they were having to make staffing decisions as far as whether some were going to be full time or part time (positions) and custodial services, yes or no.”

Eldridge Eldridge says Salem has seen an increase in needs for benevolence giving.

“It requires us to be as gracious and as passionate as we were before, but with the realization that we’re dealing with limited resources.”

Eldridge says that the current economic climate has caused the church staff to undergo extensive preplanning before deciding to launch a new initiative.

“Which we should have been doing all along,” he says. “Prosperity and no fear have a way of loosening the purse strings and you can do so to the point that you’re a poor steward. In some ways, I’m grateful for it.

“I am concerned about not meeting a need that is a great need and the economy is part of that. Some churches are $50, $60, $70 or $80,000 below projections. Some take on a fearful mentality and do nothing when they should be doing something.”

has been extremely hard for church leaders to close down their congregations. … Not only is it hard for church leaders and attendees, but also for the communities that these church closings

are occurring in. Many compare their church closings to the death of a friend. Many have hopes that the tenacious and steadfast faith of church members won’t be forgotten.”

Congress enacted legislation in 2006 that required the Postal Service to prefund future retirees’ health insurance benefits (including future employees not yet hired), a burden required of no other business or agency, public or private. It forced the payment of $5.4 billion annually for 10 years, directly from operating expenses, which have led to losses of $5 billion annually. Without those burdensome payments, the Postal Service would have earned hundreds of millions of dollars annually over the past 4 years.

The Great Recession and high fuel prices only worsened the financial impact.

As a result of the losses, over 120,000 jobs have been cut and there are efforts to end Saturday mail delivery and close local post

offices. Some people may not be affected by ending Saturday delivery, but many others benefit from the medicine, letters, cards, checks, matter for the blind, newspapers, packages and/or magazines they mail or receive on Saturdays. Many small businesses rely on timely, 6-day mail delivery.

Three separate government agency audits of the Postal Civil Service Retirement System found a minimum of $50 billion in overpayments. Legislation is pending in Congress that would provide relief from the devastating and unjustifiable legislation enacted in 2006. HR 1351 is crucial to solving the USPS financial crisis and maintaining the best and least expensive mail delivery in the world.

The past seven years have been difficult, but this year, under the direction of coach Jackie Railey, the Central High School cheerleaders are poised to make a comeback.

The bad times started in 2004 when longtime cheerleading coach Sandy Adcox died, leaving a void that was nearly impossible to fill.

In the years that followed, the squad’s grief was compounded by a long stretch of bum luck that didn’t let up until last fall when Railey took charge.

This summer, the Central High squad brought back a truckload of hardware from the Universal Cheerleading Association camp: a trophy for superior overall performance; another for placing first in Extreme Dance, Large Varsity Division; yet another for snagging third place in the cheer evaluation. They were awarded a Spirit Stick and a Superior ribbon each day, as well.

Railey says she couldn’t be more proud.

“Central High School hasn’t been to camp in eight years,” she said. “We’ve got a lot of good things that are happening here, and we are putting the past behind us. I’ve had total cooperation from the girls and their parents.”

A rejuvenated booster club has been working hard, too.

“We have two new sets of uniforms this year. This group of parents have done a great job,” Railey said.

She said she’s going to be relying on team captain Harley Branche, the only senior on the 16-member squad, to start all the chants and keep everybody in line.

Harley is a seasoned veteran who cheered three years at Gresham Middle School and also participated in competitive cheering for four years and spent one year as a Baby Bobcat cheerleader.

HALLS/FOUNTAIN CITY SHOPPER-NEWS • AUGUST 29, 2011 • A-11

Seniors step up for Halls High football Red Devils to host Powell this week

By Jake Mabe Coach Kevin Julian said before Halls High School’s season-opening game against Clinton that his team hasn’t stopped working since the end of last year’s tough, winless season.

He said the team has been working with a purpose and deserves “some good things to happen.”

It happened Aug. 19 with a 21-12 home win against the Dragons.

“The kids believed and started out after Thanksgiving to change the way they worked,” Julian said. “The culmination is them having the opportunity to win the ball game. I am excited for them. This is the result of hard work.”

Julian says his 13 seniors have all stepped up to play key leadership roles.

“We tell them this is their team. We also tell them this is their last team unless they play in college and we preach that. These seniors

Brown had 186 yards passing and 50-plus yards rushing against Clinton.

Long rushed for 50 yards, had 60 yards receiving and 12 tackles on defense.

“They showed great leadership. And our other seniors stepped up and played well.

It was a great team win.”

The game was delayed 90 minutes due to inclement weather.

Julian says the team’s strength lies in its skill position players.

Central senior is research assistant at UT Medical Center

By Betty Bean Corey O’Neal came to Central High School from Bristol, Tenn., as a sophomore and immediately got involved with football, baseball, wrestling, student government and science club. Now, in his senior year, those are all things of the past.

“No clubs this year,” he said. “All my extra time goes to UT Medical Center. Sports are fine, but I’m not going to do that in college. I’m still in National Honor society.

That’s the only one.”

Corey is one of two Knox County high school seniors involved in the University of Tennessee’s polyMER program, which provides selected students the opportunity to become involved in research being conducted

by UT’s Graduate School of Medicine and College of Engineering. The program is divided into three phases: six weeks of classes and subject matter lectures, an apprenticeship of six months to a year that requires at least nine hours of lab work a week and development of a National Institute of Health-

At the end of the first semester, Stephens picked the students who would go on to get apprenticeships.

Corey says he never knows how many hours he’s going to be putting in. “It could be two hours or I could be there until 11 at night,” he said.

can’t afford that.”

Julian had anticipated a near-total passing attack against Clinton, but says the game situation plus the unexpected return of two offensive linemen allowed Halls to utilize a more balanced attack.

“We ran 23 times and threw 26 times. The way the game ran, we got up by nine points in the third quarter and we were able to run the ball more than I thought we could.”

Powell heads onto Dink Adams Field this Friday night (Sept. 2) ranked second in the state and coming off a successful 11-win campaign last year.

“They’ve got eight starters back on either side of the ball. For us to be successful, we have to have an emotional output. If you don’t look at last year (which was a blowout), all of our games against Powell these past few years have been decided by seven or eight points or so. We’re going to need to keep it close in order to find a chance to win.”

HEALTH & LIFESTYLES NEWS FROM FORT SANDERS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

Adaptive driving program keeps mom behind the wheel While driving her son to school and soccer practice, 47-year old RenĂŠ Morgan of South Knoxville was used to improvising.

Morgan has multiple sclerosis, a condition of the nervous system that impairs movement in her legs. As the disease progressed, she began having trouble moving her right leg quickly enough to push the gas and brake pedals.

So she would put her hand under her knee to lift it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had a wreck, because I stay back from other cars and am very careful. But I was told that I shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be driving,â&#x20AC;? Morgan says.

Finally in late June and early July, Morgan attended the Adaptive Driving Program at the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center. Adaptive Driving Specialist Jenny Pugh worked with Morgan for more than six hours, testing her eye sight and reflex time, prescribing the controls that would work best for her Chrysler Town & Country van, and then training her in how to use them.

used to have on his truck. He drove 18-wheelers,â&#x20AC;? Morgan says.

For her left hand, Morgan has a mechanical hand control for the gas and brake. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lever attached to a long metal rod that reaches the pedals. She pushes one way for the gas, and another for the brake.

The rod attachment is one of the most common hand controls used in cars and can be bypassed when someone else wants to drive the van with foot pedals.

For her blinker, Morgan has an attachment that allows her to flip it with her right finger.

Pugh rode with Morgan at first as she practiced driving with her new hand controls in quiet parking lots, then in low-traffic neighborhoods. As she got more confident, they drove onto KingsDriving is more comfortable for Rene Morgan after hand controls were inton Pike and Interstate 40. stalled in her van. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was OK,â&#x20AC;?

doing all this so I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot of time to think about it, so I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that nervous.â&#x20AC;?

Combined with the automatic door and mobility scooter ramp on the van, Morganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand controls allow her to keep driving her son to school and soccer practice, safely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it relieves the stress of me having to worry about having a wreck,â&#x20AC;? she explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still got around the same that I do now, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just easier on me.â&#x20AC;?

Outfitting a van with hand controls and receiving training for it can cost more than $2,000, and fees are typically not covered by medical insurance. There are payment plans through many car outfitters, however, and there are grants available through some disability organizations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for my peace of mind,â&#x20AC;? says Morgan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deďŹ nitely worth it.â&#x20AC;?

For more information about the Adaptive Driving Program at Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center, call (865) 541-2493.

Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Adaptive Driving Program:

Helping people maintain their independence After an initial evaluation at the Adaptive Driving Center, if additional driving rehabilitation therapy is needed to learn to use special equipment, clients pay an hourly rate for individual instruction.

There are many types of adaptive driving equipment available to people with physical disabilities, says Pugh. A left foot accelerator, for example, can help a person who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use his or her right foot. Hand controls, spinner knobs for one-handed steering, blinker crossovers, mobility ramps, electrical swivel seats and wheelchair mounting systems are all available to drivers with various disabilities.

Pugh can demonstrate all of them in the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sedan and wheelchair-equipped van. She works with clients to determine which equipment is best for each person. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most equipment is interchangeable in most vehicles,â&#x20AC;? says Pugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jenny Pugh, Driving patients to get the wrong equipment, and Rehabilitation Specialist we want them to get the right equipment that is best for their budget and will last.â&#x20AC;?

Driving is a joy to millions of Americans.

But if a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical or mental skills have declined with age or illness, driving may not be safe.

Before you assume that Mom or Dad needs to hang up the keys, it can be helpful to get a thorough evaluation at the Adaptive Driving Program at the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center. The centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director, Jenny Pugh, is the only Adaptive Driving Rehabilitation Specialist in the Knoxville area and one of just 600 nationwide.

"Just because someone's getting older doesn't mean they can't drive."

Is it time to stop driving?

As coordination, eyesight and other skills decline in old age, there may be a time for an elderly person to quit driving. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration mentions these warning signs that seniors may no longer be able to drive safely: N Becoming lost when taking a familiar route.

N Appearance of new scratches and dents on the car.

N Getting ticketed for a driving violation.

N Getting into a car accident or having a near-miss.

N Driving too fast or too slowly for no apparent reason.

N Finding that signs and road marking are suddenly overwhelming.

N Having health problems that impact driving or taking medications that affect driving.

N Receiving a recommendation from a doctor to stop or reduce driving.

‘Some like it hot’ Stretch it out with hot yoga

By Shannon Carey

I

f you think yoga can’t give you a powerful cardio workout, think again.

Yoga is best known for its gentle stretches, but there’s a vast variety of yoga styles. One of these, hot yoga, turns the yoga studio’s temperature up to 90 degrees, making the stretches deeper and the heart rate pump.

Philip Clift, an instructor at Knoxville’s Glowing Body yoga studio, teaches the Hot Power Yoga class, which not only turns up the heat, but it turns up the intensity. It’s a vigorous exercise with powerful movements, meant to appeal to runners and weight lifters. But, Clift says, the class is approachable. Any skill level can take part.

Clift got started in yoga after a year and a half as a massage therapist, which he still practices. A combination of old sports injuries and new vocational back pain made him look for a therapeutic exercise.

“I figured yoga was probably the best thing I could do,” he said.

After exploring the different yoga styles, Clift found Ashtanga yoga, a vigorous, strong workout and a variation on the Vinyasa style.

“By its very a nature, it creates a lot of heat in the body,” said Clift.

Clift has been teaching Power Yoga since 1995. A couple of years ago, he decided to turn up the heat.

“When you’re sweating, your body is more pliable,” he said. “You probably have more resistance to hurting yourself, your circulation is strong. It’s a very practical, beneficial style, especially for those who like intense workouts.”

Also, sweating is believed by some to cleanse the body of harmful toxins.

“Personally, I think there’s a lot to that,” Clift said.

Over the years of doing Hot Power Yoga, Clift has noticed that his sweat is cleaner.

“A lot of people claim that they feel better, more fit, more flexible, less prone to injuries,” he said. “You really do just feel a sense of well-being from practicing yoga.”

Who shouldn’t do hot yoga? Clift said anyone advised not to exercise in heat should choose another style, as should those with heart problems or high blood pressure.

Women who are recently pregnant and new to the practice should not do hot yoga.

Just like any style of yoga, newcomers can build up to the full practice of Hot Power Yoga at their own pace. Clift said those who “are comfortable with their bodies and fitness-oriented in general” can probably jump right in.

“If not, start with a general Hatha yoga class to learn the poses and get more comfortable with your body,” he said.

Finally, Clift said people are sometimes intimidated by the spiritual aspect of yoga. While you can combine a physical and spiritual practice, Clift said you can use yoga just as exercise, too.

The Glowing Body in North Knoxville offers a variety of classes for any skill level.

Organic eating Tips for families and singles

By Shannon Carey

Y

our local grocery store has an organic alternative for just about every food, usually at a higher price. If you’re interested in going organic but don’t want to blow your household food budget, all those choices can be confusing.

Beth Booker, clinical dietician with Fort Sanders Regional, says there is merit to the organic eating movement, and there is hope for the frugal organic eater.

According to Booker, organic fruits and vegetables

have been shown to have higher levels of disease-fighting antioxidant behavior than their conventionally grown counterparts. Organic dairy products have lower bovine growth hormone and chemical residue levels than other diary, and organic meats are worth the investment, too.

However, when it comes to organic packaged foods like cookies, “A cookie is a cookie, even if it’s organic,” said Booker. “For your dollar, it’s better to buy organic dairy and fruits and vegetables and let the packaged stuff be packaged stuff.”

For produce, Booker recommends going to the Environmental Work Group’s website, www.ewg.org, and checking out the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 lists. The Dirty Dozen are the 12 fruits and

vegetables most likely to contain high levels of pesticide residue. Some examples are apples, celery and strawberries. The Clean 15 have the lowest pesticide levels and include onions, corn and pineapple.

These lists are good places to start, said Booker. Select a few from the Dirty Dozen and try buying those organic for a while.

Also, try shopping at the local farmers market.

“Certified organic means a farmer has jumped through a lot of hoops to be documented and inspected, and that’s an expensive process,” Booker said.

“So, some smaller operations, like at the farmers market, are growing organic but aren’t certified. Talk to the farmer and go with your gut feeling.”

Organic dairy products often have coupons available on the manufacturersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; websites, and many grocery stores are introducing store-brand organic lines.

As for organic meat, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth the investment, but Booker said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also better to generally eat lower quantities of meat. It will help with your food budget and your health. Make it a garnish instead of the center on your plate.â&#x20AC;?

You can make up that extra protein with whole grains, legumes and beans, high protein cereals and pastas, dairy or soy and meat analogs like soy or veggie burgers.

Singles especially can have trouble eating organic because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to buy fresh foods without them going to waste.

Bookerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice: shop the salad bar. It may cost more per piece, but you can get a variety of items with less waste. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I may not need the 10 ounce bag of spinach, but I want a spinach omelet that week,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Also, although the name can be confusing, shopping places with bulk food aisles is a good choice for singles looking to go organic. That way you can buy one scoop of oats or a handful of walnuts. It keeps your ingredients fresh, too.

Again, the farmers market is a good choice because shoppers have more freedom to pick quantities. Splitting a CSA share with a friend is also an option.

But, above all, take small steps and shop wisely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a big time advocate of doing what you can by eating right 90 percent of the time,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ease into it gradually. Making small changes in your life can make big changes in your body.â&#x20AC;?

Maximize your workout

The journey to getting fit doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end when you step off the treadmill. Whether training for a marathon or simply hitting the gym in preparation for beach season, the decisions you make from the moment you wake up until your head hits the pillow affect your health and ultimately your performance.

Steer clear of the dreaded workout rut by continually reinvigorating your exercise routine. Instead of heavy aerobic exercise or weight lifting, spend the week walking, swimming or biking.

In a hurry? Try a meal replacement shake equipped with the right balance of nutrients your body needs. Plus, eating a healthy meal in the morning means youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re less likely to overeat later in the day.

Try Herbalife24â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hydrate, which offers bioavailable electrolytes that replenish your body served up in an easy-to-carry stick pack, making it refreshing to drink throughout the day and on the go.

Keep your body guessing

Pump up the jams Research has shown that listening to music during exercise can increase motivation, endurance and fight feelings of fatigue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all helping to improve results. Before hitting the trails or the gym, create a playlist of your favorite songs to help push you that extra mile.

We all have experienced a point in our exercise program in which we stop seeing results and start getting bored. Steer clear of the dreaded workout rut by continually reinvigorating your exercise routine.

Instead of heavy aerobic exercise or weight lifting, spend the week walking, swimming or biking.

Join an intramural team or try new exercise classes like Pilates or Zumba. The key here is variety, ensuring youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re constantly targeting different muscles, moving in various ways, all while helping maintain workout motivation.

Hit the snooze button One frequently overlooked but crucial aspect of any workout program is sleep. While you sleep, your body is hard at work rebuilding muscle, getting faster and fitter.

Sleep speeds recovery, which means you can train harder for longer durations without overextending yourself. Avoid eating a heavy meal or drinking too much water before bed, and try to develop a sleep routine consisting of eight to nine hours of uninterrupted, deep slumber. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ARA

Bottoms up Whether you are exercising in the gym or working in an office, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to stay hydrated. Because hydration directly impacts athletic performance, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for athletes to keep fluid levels topped off.

Finding the right match Choosing a personal trainer

By Shannon Carey

I

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an important relationship, one that can affect your health as surely as your relationship with your doctor or dentist.

Your choice of personal trainer is important. He or she can help you or hinder you in reaching your fitness goals. Your personal trainer can help you recover from injury or cause an injury, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to arm yourself with knowledge.

Katie Logan, training coordinator for Fort Sanders Health and Fitness, is an expert on the subject. At Fort Sanders, she oversees

trainers and fitness instructors, gives classes for the staff and teaches group fitness herself.

She holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in exercise science, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certified by the American Council on Exercise and the American College of Sports Medicine.

Degrees and certifications are a good place to start when

youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re scoping out a gym or trainer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you choose the place where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to work out, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to ask who this facility is hiring, what is the highest level of knowledge there,â&#x20AC;? Logan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;See if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re putting yourself into an educated atmosphere.â&#x20AC;?

Find out what degrees the management and trainers

Celebrating 25 Years of Promoting Heal

hold. Find out their certifications and make sure those certifications are accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). The facility should also carry liability insurance.

When choosing individual trainers, find out how long theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been training, what their levels of experience are and what kind of clients they tend to attract. If you have a special need or injury, ask for referrals to trainers who can accommodate you.

Ask for references and talk to clients, both current and past. Look for them to use the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;challengingâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;funâ&#x20AC;? when talking about their workouts. If any of them say they got injured while working out with the trainer, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge red flag.

Frankly, said Logan, if you hear anything but glowing recommendations, look elsewhere.

Find out what the trainerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies and practices are.

How does he or she bill? What is the cancellation policy?

th & Fitness!

Take time to find out if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re comfortable with that person. Would you feel more comfortable with a male or female trainer? Do you get along? Is he or she available when you are? â&#x20AC;&#x153;People arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to work out if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not convenient for them,â&#x20AC;? said Logan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You want to choose a person whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to train you when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most convenient for you.â&#x20AC;?

When you first talk with a trainer, he or she should ask lots of questions, said Logan.

Topics should be your history, your goals, your lifestyle and your health history. You should work together for a total fitness plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Exercise canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be done one hour a week,â&#x20AC;? said Logan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to think about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on the other six days.â&#x20AC;?

Logan encouraged people to visit the Fort Sanders Health and Fitness website at www. fshfc.com, where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find more tips and a link to the American Council on Exercise with even more guidelines for finding a personal trainer.
