First Baptist Church of Powell is more than holding its own during this period of a stagnant economy. It’s actually expanding its mission work. According to FBCPowell’s pastor for missions and evangelism, Tim McGhee, this can be attributed to a couple of factors. While giving is up by 5 percent for the first six months of this year, overall giving has been generally flat for the past few years since the recession officially hit the country in 2008, according to McGhee. One factor that is helping the church do more with less is the shift of some of its focus from internal, activities aimed at members, to external, things that

Wow! The parking lot at Powell Place was packed last Thursday as students, families and friends rallied to support the Panther football team in Friday’s home opener
against Austin-East. Food City hosted the kickoff pep rally and provided free water. Rain threatened but never dampened the enthusiasm of the kids and fans. The band played on, the cheerers cheered, the dancers danced, the coaches
looked somber and the players wore grey Panther T-shirts and clustered at the edge of the crowd. In all, it was a tremendous show of Powell Pride and community support for this Panther team which exceeded expectations last season and looks toward another great year.

Churches challenged Declining revenue forces review, innovation By Sandra Clark 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 situa-
Anxiety at Powell Presbyterian
tion. 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 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.”
“There is anxiety in our church,” says Powell Presbyterian Church pastor Jonathan Warren. With a congregation of just below 100, the church has noticed a drop off in giving, especially this year according to Warren. “Gas prices have increased, food costs have increased, retirees are not sure how their stocks are going to do, it does affect people’s giving,” says Warren. In the first two years of his pastorship, the church surpassed its giving pledges. It has also gained almost 10 percent in membership. Warren does not credit all of this to the economy. “The changes were due to the changing of the guard here,” he says,

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

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 in-

novation. Innovation encompasses nearly any aspect of 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.

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 nonsub-

cross daily and forsake all that they have to follow Him in expanding His kingdom. Members are counseled in getting out of debt and essentially downsizing their lives. McGhee tells of one member who related to him that he had cut his expenses by 50 percent by taking up the Kingdom Challenge. The Kingdom Challenge represents about $200,000 of the church’s budget and it has all been new revenues, said McGhee. So First Baptist is able to do more with the same. It has “church plants� – new churches – in places like Mill City, Ore., and Baltimore, Md. It plans a church plant in the old North Knoxville area. Its missionaries travel all over the world. The church has ministries that serve area mobile home parks, housing projects such as Western Heights and North Ridge Crossing (formerly Christenberry Heights). It offers adult Bible study classes in Lonsdale. – Greg Householder

referring to his taking over as pastor. “New people come in and people leave,� he said. While giving is off thus far, Warren says that the church has a recent history of lagging on pledges and then catching up and surpassing them near the end of the year. Powell Presbyterian added a mobile food pantry this year after a single individual contributed approximately $800 for the trailer of food from Second Harvest Food Bank. Normally PPC has three mobile pantries per year and this year the church will have four. The church also participates in the Family Promise ministry. Family Promise is a program where homeless families live in area churches for a period of time before moving to another until they can find housing through KCDC. Warren has noticed that it seems that families are taking longer to find housing – an indication of the impact of a bad economy. The biggest impact of the
bad economy on the church is the stress and anxiety it has brought. This puts pressure on pastors Warren because as people feel they have less and less control over their lives, they need to vent. And pastors are the recipients of this venting. “That might mean people don’t show up at church as often,� he says. – Greg Householder

scribers 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.

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.
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?

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.

POWELL SHOPPER-NEWS • AUGUST 29, 2011 • A-5
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.”

A volunteer from Johnson City who knows how to work the machine required for playback has helped digitize the 2-inch quad recordings. “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. Other interesting items in the collection include surviving tapes of Jim Clayton’s “Star Time” TV show, episodes from teenage star Jimmy Hartsook’s early TV program, recordings by Happy Holler’s favorite country couple, Carl and Pearl Butler, and receipts and handwritten lyrics of songs written by Arthur Q. Smith that he would sell for beer money – no joke – to pay off his tab at the Three Feathers Bar. One such song, “Missing in Action,” became a hit for the country singer Ernest Tubb. Other 78s include snippets of a live recording of “The Mid-Day Merry-Go-Round” featuring Knoxville radio legend Lowell Blanchard. The Presley recording from April 8, 1972, turned up a few weeks ago.

WDVX. Reeves and Trott host it every other week. Other rare items in the TAMIS collection include sound recordings from WNOX-AM’s rock and roll era that came from popular disc jockey Johnny Pirkle’s collection, including master tapes of local bands. Other rarities include an early pop recording called “It’s Sure Going to Hurt” that Dolly Parton made for Mercury Records, early 45 rpm singles from Con Hunley (on the Prairie Dust label), home movies shot at the original location of McGhee Tyson Airport on Sutherland Avenue (near present-day West High School) and even a print of the Ingrid Bergman film “A Walk in the Spring Rain,” which was shot on the UT campus and in Gatlinburg and made its debut in Knoxville in 1970. 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.” For more information about TAMIS or to donate film or audio items with connections to local history, call Bradley Reeves at 215-8856 or visit http://www. tamisarchive.org/TAMIS_Web/ TAMIS_home.html. Jake Mabe is a huge film buff and Elvis fan who was “All Shook Up” when he heard clips of the long-missing April 8, 1972, Presley concert at Stokely Athletic Center.

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, Alabama-Birmingham 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.

Why we call it the present 1. There will be enough. 2. There won’t be any extra. 3. It may not be exactly what you would choose. 4. It won’t come until you absolutely have to have it. 5. When in doubt, see Rule Number One. (The Rules of Manna from “Bread of Heaven,” Cross Currents, Feb. 2, 2009) Is it plagiarism if you quote yourself? Cross Two and a half years ago, Currents at a moment when I was beLynn tween jobs and wondering Hutton “What’s next?” I wrote in this space the words quoted above about God’s rules concerning the gift of manna to I have quoted myself the Children of Israel in the many times since then: to wilderness.

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 begun 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 – nothing! – 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 decisionmaking. 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 “How are you?” in the same way. His emphatic answer was always, “Oh, it’s a good day.” One morning my curiosity got the better of me, and I asked him, “Henry, why do you tell me it’s a good day when I haven’t asked about the day? I asked about you!” He grinned at me and replied, “At my age, any day I wake up is a good day!” 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: “Every day is a gift; that’s 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)
