Where does it go from here?
by Michael Jeffries
The controversy started late in 2006 when the Town of Eatonville attempted to renegotiate 2007 contracts with tenants using the Eatonville Community Center.
The town was set to sign a new contract with Real Life Family Center, which has held church services and related activities in that location since 2001 - part of that time as Bible Church. The problem that existed, however, was that their rent would be increased from $460 to $800 per month - something that Pastor Jonathon Cross advised would "cause a burden on the church."
Also, the primary point of disagreement the church had with the new contract was that they felt fees were not being fairly distributed among the users of the facility - all of which are operating as non-profit organizations and all of which were helping people in the community. The Youth Connection organization is also allowed to deduct community service activities at the rate of $10 per hour from their rent.
The controversy resulted in Real Life Family Center (which is now known as CenterPoint) not signing the contract, seeking legal advice and continuing to pay rent at $460 while negotiating with the town and Mayor Tom Smallwood. CenterPoint has kept up with payments, increased the amount paid and appeared ready to sign a new lease for $800. But that is not the way things went.
At the Oct. 13 Town Council meeting, there was a heated discussion centering around CenterPoint's use of the Community Center and even focusing on use of an extension cord to a shed. Councilmember Bobbie Allison suggested the church was "not a good tenant" and Councilmember Brendon Pierce made similar comments. Councilmember Bruce Rath suggested that a rent of only $800 was "subsidizing a church."
The vote on allowing the mayor to sign a contract with CenterPoint was 3 to 2 against, and the church appears to be, once again, in the position of seeking legal advice and protesting the council's action or finding a new home for church services.

How do you find the cercomference?
The circumference of a circle is found by the use of a protractor. Placing the point of the protractor at what will be the center of the circle, the point is held steady while the two arms of the protractor are turned around, marking the circle as the protractor turns. When this exercise is finished, the point is in the middle of the circumference, and the circumference figure is measured at any point on the outside circle of the circle, to the point in the center of the circle. This is the measuring of the circumference, from the center point to any other point on the circle. This is done by the study of plane geometry.
