AASC PUBLICITY ERROR CAUSES PROBLEMSTo the Editor:

The Animal Alliance-South Cum-berland (AASC) recently sent a mailing to area residents publicizing an upcoming fund-raiser, but the enclosed envelope contained an ad-dition on the return address which caused the post offi ce to be unable to deliver many of the envelopes which contained contributions and were returned to the donors who made them.

We at the AASC have an apology to make to the public and our contribu-tors. In the mailing, the AASC asked for contributions, but through an oversight, two return addresses were printed on the envelope, and only one was deliverable by the post offi ce.

This resulted in the post office returning a number of contributions to the wonderful people who were so generous to us. We are very sorry for any inconvenience that this error caused.

The AASC very much needs ev-ery contribution intended for its spay/neuter program. Anyone who intended to make a donation to the AASC may do so at the following address: Animal Alliance–South Cumberland, P.O. Box 627, Tracy City, TN 37387.

PARTY FOR PAWS THANKSTo the Editor:

On behalf of the Franklin County Humane Society, I would like to thank everyone who made this year’s Party for Paws such a marvelous success. Special mention is due Jayne Slagle of Natural Bridge Events for her fabu-lous food and generosity in catering our event, the Sewanee Mountain Messenger and the Herald-Chronicle for publicizing the affair, and the University of the South for allowing us to use Cravens Hall.

We would also like to thank all the businesses, artists, artisans and friends who donated items for our auction. We are very grateful to the many donors and friends who at-tended Party for Paws and are so faithful in their support of our efforts on behalf of the homeless animals of Franklin County, our subsidized spay program, our Tail Waggin’ Tutors Pro-gram and the other programs of the Franklin County Humane Society. We could not do our work without your continued generous support, and we treasure every one of you.

THANKS FOR LOOSE IN THE LAB WORKSHOP OPPORTUNITYTo the Editor:

We would like to thank Sewanee Elementary School’s Parent-Teacher Organization and the Community Chest for the opportunity to attend the Loose in the Lab Workshop held in Nashville. The workshop provided 100 hands-on lessons for teaching principles and guidelines put forth by the National Science Education Standards. The essence of these standards is to give children hands-on experiences to help them think logically and develop abstract ideas. The students at SES loved the ex-periments and were eager to perform more of them.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERSPROVIDE AN UPDATE To the Editor:

Here is a summary of recent events in Franklin County and our reaction to them:

Education: At our meetings with the new director of schools, Dr. Re-becca Sharber, we have found her to be very cooperative and willing to work with the county commission in a spirit of cooperative endeavor. Our dealings with the reconstituted Franklin County School Board have also been productive. We feel that Dr. Sharber and the new board bring fresh and reformist perspectives to the Franklin County school system.

Judicial Center: An explanation is needed for the commission’s au-thorization of an expenditure of $1.5 million in a bond issue, via the Department of Agriculture, in a special called meeting on May 11. This money had to be allocated to complete the judicial center project to be in accordance with the state fi re marshal’s specifi cations, to pay unpaid contracts, to put furnishings in the new building and to put down paving. Although county revenues are down from last year, there is no tax increase involved here. The reason for the new center was lack of room in the courthouse for the conduct of judicial proceedings.

Wall Restoration on 41A: After numerous meetings were held with the Tennessee Department of Trans-portation (TDOT), the agency is now committed to the restoration of the stone wall on 41A (as one proceeds down the mountain to Cowan). This wall was the result of a 1935 CCC project. We hope this will be funded at least in part by a historical restoration grant. TDOT has agreed to furnish the labor to do the job. The funding for the limestone or sandstone cap and fi ll has to come from another source. If our funding quest is successful, we hope that the project will be fi nished by year’s end.

CAC Among F.C. Agencies Receiving Stimulus Funds

Theresa’s Outreach Ministry.These funds target new situations

due to increased unemployment, par-ticularly for the newly unemployed; agencies are encouraged to offer (to those who qualify): food boxes, shelter, rent or mortgage assistance, and utility assistance.

If you have such a need at this time or know of someone who does, please contact the CAC at 598-5927 or one of the other agencies.

This summer, all the computers in the University’s duPont Library have been configured to require a user name and password in order to use them. The purpose of this change is to increase security to the comput-ers and network as well as to have a common management system for all the computers in the duPont Library building.

If you have a Sewanee e-mail account, you already have a login to the library computers, which is your Sewanee e-mail user name and password.

If you do not have a Sewanee e-mail account, you will need to register for a user name and password for computer access. When you come to the library, visit the desk on the main fl oor to sign up for a computer use ac-count. For most of our community, a unique user name will be created for you, and you will use your library card barcode number for your password.

If you have questions about any of this, please contact duPont Library at 598-1664.

Abba’s is a multicultural ministry founded on an unswerving commit-ment to scripture. Members serve in a spirit of excellence with integrity and compassion for our community, our nation and our world.

The ministry’s aims are the fol-lowing: Touching all generations with the power of God and the calling He has given us, living with integrity and accountability in all we do, treating each other with dignity and respect, encouraging personal growth by developing and empowering our people, improving the organization by improving ourselves, moving our ministry to greater ethnic diversity, leaving a legacy of hope and promise to future generations and having fun and enjoying the fellowship of others.

A typical Sunday service includes a time of praise and worship, a mes-sage by Pastor Ron Phillips and ministry time, when the congregation prays for each person’s needs. The dress is casual.

For more information contact Donnie at (931) 308-9150. To fi nd out more about this ministry, go to <http://www.cbch.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=18460>.

Music Jam June 18There will not be a Sewanee

The Board of Commissioners of the Sewanee Utility District (SUD) of Franklin and Marion Counties held its regular monthly business meeting on May 26 in the SUD offi ce building on Sherwood Road.

SUD manager Ben Beavers report-ed that on two occasions during the past month when a large amount of rain fell within a very short time span, high inflow and infiltration (I&I) into the sewer system caused SUD to exceed its Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) permit for spray-fi eld applications. According to the Ten-nessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), other water utilities experienced similar overloads. Beavers noted that SUD’s spray fi elds performed well under the high volume spraying with no runoff or pooling. He stressed, however, the importance of reducing I&I.

To that end, Beavers recommend-ed that SUD undertake Phase I of a proposed Wastewater Collection System Inventory and Assessment Study now rather than waiting until 2010, as dictated in its Long Range & Strategic Plan. Beavers suggested that $85,000 in the 2009 budget designated for WWTP rehabilitation be allocated instead to fund Phase I of the study at a cost of $62,000, as TDEC has made no recommenda-tions for WWTP improvements. The 2010 budget allocates $225,000 for the study; Beavers anticipates the total actual cost will be less, ap-proximately $150,000–$170,000. The board authorized Beavers’ request to proceed with Phase I. The four-month project will consist of a basic survey and mapping of the system, followed by a report identifying which areas require an in-depth condition and repair cost assessment, as provided for in Phase II.

Beavers also reported that the Lake Jackson dam continues to leak at a rate of 70 gallons per minute. The sum of $45,000 authorized for repair-ing the leak in August 2008 was never spent because the fi rm that attempted the repair was unsuccessful. He ex-plained that the dam is composed of stratifi ed rock and that the leak is caused by a void between the rock layers. The board approved Beavers’ request to designate the unspent sum to identify and repair the leak by contracting with a fi rm that will bore into the rock layers to locate the void

SUD to Investigate I&I Causes, Repair Lake Jackson Dam

and then fi ll the void with cement or chemical grout. Cement grout used to repair the dam in the past lasted for 20 years, Beavers said.

In other business, the board voted to replace the existing ethics policy with the ethics policy recommended by the Tennessee Association of Util-ity Districts. Under the provisions of the old policy, ethics disputes involving SUD commissioners were reviewed by the county commission having jurisdiction in the disputed circumstance. Under the new ethics policy, disputes are reviewed by the state Water Quality Control Board, an agency more familiar with how water utilities operate. SUD’s attorney Don Scholes wrote the new policy.

The board also voted to make SUD commissioners eligible for the Fowler Center discount rate, which is available to SUD employees. (SUD employees who use the Fowler Center qualify for a discount through an arrangement negotiated by SUD.) A policy already in place allows commissioners to purchase health insurance at the same rate available to SUD employees. SUD commissioners receive no fi nancial compensation for their services to the district.

The next regular meeting of the SUD Board of Commissioners is scheduled for June 23, at 5 p.m.

This is an account of my 60th birthday present to myself, an op-portunity to ride my bicycle(s) from just west of Portland, Ore., to Portland, Maine, approximately 3,600 miles. I hope to capture some of the vastness, essence and diversity of the U.S. of A.

I will be supported by a vehicle driven by my 17-year-old son, Ther-on. This will allow me to carry extra things, such as cameras and tripod, tools, parts and extra bicycles. With my son’s help, I will have the luxury of being shuttled to a motel if need be and the opportunity to explore certain places that might be out of reach on a bicycle, given realistic time restraints. Also, I will share what is certain to be an incredible experience with my son. Without his support I doubt if I could pull this off. Did I say support? Yes, my wonderful wife has artfully given me the green light on this journey without making me feel that it would be “jolly” to have me gone.

Oh yes, support. On this ride I hope to support the American Cancer Society by spreading information and awareness, as well as solicit donations for research.

A word about cancer: Most of us have been affected in some way by cancer. We have felt loss and devas-tation from this powerful disease. For me, it has been my mother, my grandmother, an aunt, two uncles, some cousins and several good friends. Some of these people surely

would have survived had they been given modern treatments. Yes, the advancements have been incredible; many cancers are no longer the death sentence that they once were.

Cancer research has been paying off but still has a long way to go and many challenges to face. We can play a part in this. I pledge $1 a mile. That would be way too much for many of you (but not all of you), but what about a nickel a mile for $180? Or a dime a mile for $360? Or a penny a mile for $36. Donate by clicking the following link: <https://www.cancer.org/docroot/DON/DON_1_Donate_Online_Now.asp?from=hpglobal>.

I feel it would be most benefi cial to direct this toward research, so please do so on the site, if you would. After you’ve donated, please e-mail me at woodybike@gmail.com, and let me know who you are (if you want) and how much you donated.

Sewanee Herbarium

Summer CalendarThe Sewanee Herbarium announc-

es its summer programs. These events are free and open to the public.

Sewanee’s Campus Trees—On Wednesday, June 24, from 4 to 5 p.m., a member of the Herbarium staff will lead a stroll among the trees on the University campus, giving tips on identification and tales about outstanding individuals, such as the “Moon Tree.” Meet in front of All Saints’ Chapel for this easy walk.

Lost Cove—On Saturday morn-ing, June 27, Mary Priestley and Yolande Gottfried will lead a two-hour hike to explore a section of the Do-main recently acquired in Lost Cove. Meet at the University’s Spencer Hall (across from duPont Library) at 9:30 a.m. to carpool or caravan to the ac-cess point. This will be a moderately strenuous, off-trail hike.

Sewanee Natural Bridge State Natural Area—On Wednesday, July 8, at 4 p.m., join George Ramseur, botany professor emeritus, in an exploration of the vegetation around this 27-foot-high natural sandstone bridge. It is a short drive from Se-wanee down Sherwood Road (Hwy. 56) to the area, formerly part of the University Domain and deeded to the state in 1974. Meet at the Sewanee Market parking lot to carpool or caravan to the Natural Bridge for this short, moderate walk.

Mega-Mountathon, a Jubilee Event—On Saturday, July 11, 9:30–11:30 a.m., Mary Priestley and Yolande Gottfried will mount pressed plants. Pressed plants are the “bread and butter” of the Herbarium. Valuable for scientifi c reference, they are often objects of beauty. Help them mount the backlog of specimens collected by such giants of southeastern botany as Albert Radford and C. Ritchie Bell. Learn methods that have been passed down through generations, and take home a guide to mounting pressed plants. Meet in the Herbarium on the fi rst fl oor of Spencer Hall.

For more information on these events, call Yolande Gottfried at 598-5327 and leave a message.

On Saturday, June 20, University biology professor David Haskell and local fantasy author David Coe will lead Sewanee’s 13th annual Census of Butterfl ies. The census is sponsored by the North American Butterfl y As-sociation (NABA), and will be similar in both method and purpose to the Christmas bird counts organized by the National Audubon Society. Should it rain on June 20, the count will be held on Sunday, June 21.

Anyone interested in participat-ing in the count is welcome. There is a $3 per person administrative fee mandated by NABA. The count will begin at 9 a.m. at the Lake Cheston pavilion and will continue until late afternoon. Participants are invited to remain with the census organizers for as long as they wish. Those wishing to join the count later in the day can do so at the Memorial Cross on Ten-nessee Avenue at 1 p.m.

As with the Christmas bird count, participants in the census will count not only the number of different spe-cies seen, but also the number of indi-vidual butterfl ies. The fi nal count will be sent to NABA so that the results

2009 Sewanee Butterfl y Census June 20can be tabulated with other censuses taking place throughout the continent around the July Fourth holiday.

Last year’s count in Sewanee turned up 34 butterfl y species and nearly 250 individual butterflies. In past years, counters have seen as many as 350 butterfl ies.

This is the 35th year NABA has organized the counts. Last year, the association sponsored 474 counts in 49 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, four Canadian provinces, and two Mexican states.

Participants in Sewanee’s count need only a sharp eye, a bit of patience and a willingness to learn. No prior knowledge of butterfl ies is necessary. A pair of binoculars is recommended, although not required. It is suggested that participants wear long pants and sturdy shoes, and that they bring along insect repellent. Participants should also bring a snack and some-thing to drink. Those who intend to continue counting through the after-noon should bring lunch as well.

Interested persons should call David Coe at 598-9775 for more information.

Bob Askew and Claire Reishman are the featured artists in Shenani-gans Gallery for the month of June. Askew does both oil and water-color paintings of Sewanee and its environs, while Reishman makes functional pottery using a number of different glazes.

Reishman is currently working on cups, bowls and plates intended for daily use. She fi res her work in a soda/salt kiln, where soda and salt are introduced to the kiln’s atmosphere once the kiln has reached its fi nal temperature. She is also experiment-ing with shino glazes which trap car-bon within the glaze as the kiln heats up. As Reishman says, “It is exciting to me to see the interplay of glazes on the forms which I make, and to think about the ways in which the pots I make will ultimately be used.”

Askew is working on refi ning his craft, working with thicker, richer paint, and incorporating tree and rock studies into his work. He con-

Looks At Books

The Friends of the Library

Summer Reading: BiographiesBiographies, autobiographies, and memoirs seem to have renewed

popularity these days, perhaps because the engaging style and realism of several recent works bring their subjects vividly alive. We’re inspired to read the newer titles and revisit older ones. Let’s start with newer titles suggested by Sewanee readers for our longer summer days and save the older favorites for later discussion.

Kevin Reynolds suggests “Milking the Moon: A Southerner’s Story of Life on this Planet,”* by Eugene Walter as told to Katherine Clark (Crown, 2002). Kevin describes Walter as a colorful individual with a hand in countless endeavors: cooking, theatre, Fellini fi lms and the Paris Review, among others.

Donna Pahmeyer liked “The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obses-sion in the Amazon”* by David Grann (Doubleday, 2009) which she terms a “double biography,” as it folds one story into another. Grann, a New Yorker attached to take-out food and air conditioning, met his own challenges as he set out to solve the mystery of the 1925 disappearance of British explorer Percy Fawcett. Donna also mentioned “Undress Me in the Temple of Heaven,”* by Susan Jane Gilman (Grand Central Publishing, 2009). Donna assures us that this book is about China. This memoir is a coming-of-age story with recent college graduates leaving their comfort zone—and possibly ours? It’s on my list.

Cheryl King found “Infi del”* by Ayaan Hirsi Ali (Free Press, 2008) an engrossing life story by the controversial Somali-born former member of the Dutch Parliament who views her Muslim heritage through a modern feminist’s eyes.

Ron Lee states that Jeanette Wall’s story of life in “The Glass Castle” (Scribner, 2006) is a “pretty rough,” amazing story of a childhood with eccentric, neglectful parents, told in a nonjudgmental way. Wearing shoes held together by safety pins was one of Wall’s lesser challenges.

Stories from vastly different eras are recommended by Rachel Reavis. The present is represented by Carol Burnett’s “One More Time” (Random House, 2003), imbued with humor and pathos. Next Rachel directs us to Stephen Ambrose’s, “Undaunted Courage: Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson, and The Opening of the American West” (Simon & Schuster, 1997), with its trove of information and atmosphere.*

For earlier eras, Jenny Gore speaks for Jon Meacham fans whose “American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House”* (Random House, 2008) won the Pulitizer for biography. Jenny writes that she is fi nding Meacham’s account an easy, interesting read, with fascinating particulars, e.g., she shares Jackson’s interest in Scottish patriot William Wallace.

For a wealth of fascinating particulars, we might dive into the two-volume biography which Pat Kelley recently read: David L. Lewis’s “W. E. B. Du Bois, 1868–1919: Biography of a Race” and “W. E. B. Du Bois, 1919–1963: The Fight for Equality and the American Century”* (Holt Paperbacks, 1994 & 2001). These two volumes (1604 pages) take us from Du Bois’s early life to his death on the eve of Martin Luther King’s historic oration on equality. Pat tells us that we’ll discover an engrossing personal, political, and cultural history that is extremely well-documented.

On a less daunting scale, I’m enjoying “Margaret Wise Brown: Awak-ened by the Moon,” by Leonard S. Marcus (Beacon Press, 1992). His chronicle of the life of the creator of “Goodnight Moon,”* a favorite of little ones and their parents since 1947, tells of a dramatic, unconventional life which contrasted the gentle simplicity of her writing during the golden age of the American picture book.

*Available in duPont LibraryNext time: more biography, focusing on our old favorites plus sugges-

tions from children and young adults. Please send ideas to <lonewise@bellsouth.net>.

Last week the University hosted “Does It Fit?,” the first nationwide vocational discernment conference for young people of color, sponsored by the Ethnic Ministries offi ces and the Pastoral Leadership Search Effort of the Episcopal Church Center.

About 40 young adults ages 18 to 30 attended the four-day event, during which they were encour-aged to explore their own vocations, whether as ordained or lay leaders or as involved volunteers and church members. The participants attended workshops, worshipped together, explored their gifts and talents, and heard presentations from several out-standing members of the clergy.

The “Does It Fit?” conference of-fered an opportunity to explore issues of career and discernment, particu-larly as they relate to communities of color (African American, Native American/Indigenous, Asian and

The Monteagle Rotary Club hon-ored recipients of the 2009 Rotary Scholarships at Grundy County High School. On May 15 Rotary President-elect Roy Millar presented scholar-ships to two graduating seniors: Deidre Andrews, who will attend Ten-nessee Technical Center in Shelbyville to study in the nursing program, and Lacy Fultz, who will start her college career at Tennessee Technical Univer-sity in Cookeville.

With the two young women’s goals set, their dedication and perseverance have been rewarded, and they should be proud of their accomplishments.

The Monteagle Rotary Club wishes them the best in pursuing careers in their chosen fi elds. Well done!

Latino/Hispanic).“The conference was a great suc-

cess,” said the Rev. Dr. Walter Brown-ridge, associate dean for community life at Sewanee’s School of Theology. “We had participants from as close to Sewanee as Florida, and as far away as Barbados, Alaska and Hawaii. We were happy to be able to offer them Sewanee hospitality as they consider the many ways of serving God.”

Sewanee’s hosting of the confer-ence was made possible by a grant from the Arthur Vining Davis Foun-dation intended to expand initiatives in promoting diversity within the seminary community. The Episcopal Church is responding to society’s changing demographics by support-ing the inclusion of persons of color in the mainstream life and mission of the church and by preparing young people for both ordained and lay ministry.

SAS Softball Team Fourth in State

The St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School Lady Lions fi nished their season by placing fourth in the state’s TSSAA Division IIA softball. On May 20 at the spring fl ing tournament the Mountain Lions lost to Southern Baptist Educational Center and First Assembled Christian School from Memphis.

The team loses three seniors but has a young, experienced lineup look-ing out on next year’s horizon. “This is our second year in softball, and we already have experienced state-level play. These girls never cease to amaze me,” said Coach Dan Barry.

Joe Dombrowski has stepped down as Sewanee’s head volleyball coach after fi nishing his fourth sea-son in 2008. He also assisted with the University’s track and fi eld program. He plans to pursue career opportuni-ties beyond college athletics.

With 15 years of collegiate coach-ing experience in volleyball, cross-country, track and fi eld, the Baltimore native came to Sewanee after serving as assistant cross country and track and fi eld coach at Rensselaer Poly-technic Institute in Troy, N.Y.

Dombrowski Steps Down as Tiger Volleyball Coach

Dombrowski earned a political science degree from Goucher College and an associate of arts degree in po-litical science from Essex Community College. He has varsity letters in cross country (team captain), swimming and track and fi eld at Goucher and in cross country and track and fi eld at Essex.

Coach Dombrowski’s wife, Mi-chele, is the women’s lacrosse coach at Sewanee. They have two daughters, Anja and Kira. Selected for the Sewanee women’s lacrosse all-region team were (l–r) Hanna

Moran, Megan Welton and Steffi Renniger.

The Intercollegiate Women’s La-crosse Coaches Association has announced its 2009 All-Regional Teams. Hanna Moran, Megan Welton and Steffi Renninger were tapped as all-region selections from Sewanee. Moran and Welton were fi rst-team selections, while Renninger received a second-team nod. The Tigers were 8-5 overall in 2009 in only their sec-ond year of varsity competition.

Moran, a sophomore defender from Towson, Md., started in all 13 games and picked up 35 ground balls and logged a team-leading 36 draw controls on the year. She also chipped in three goals on eight shots for the Tigers.

Welton, a freshman midfielder from Germantown, Tenn., started all 13 games and led Sewanee with 41 goals on the year. She also had 15 assists, picked up 30 ground balls and logged 35 draw controls.

Three Tigers Named to Women’s Lacrosse All-Regional Teams

Renninger, a junior midfielder from Darnestown, Md., started 12 games and was second for the Tigers with 31 goals on the year. She had 15 assists, 21 ground balls and 22 draw controls.

“As a team, we took huge steps forward this season. Just about every individual game, individual season, team game and team season record was rewritten. Steffi , Hanna and Meg were instrumental in that success across the board,” said Coach Michele Dombrowski. “They are deserving of these awards this year; I am even more excited that all three will be back in uniform for us next year. I think their selections are indicative of the potential we have.”

The week of May 18 was a busy one for many members of the St. Andrew’s-Sewanee tennis team as they studied for exams, prepared for graduation, and traveled back and forth to Murfreesboro for the TSSAA State Tournament.

After defeating Southern Baptist Educational Center the previous week in the quarterfi nals, the SAS girls’ team fell in the semifi nals of the Division IIA State Tournament to St. George’s of Memphis, the eventual state champion. The SAS girls took an early 2-0 lead with command-ing singles wins from No. 1 Sadie Shackelford, 6-1, 6-0, and No. 2 Avery Shackelford, 6-3, 6-1. However, they were unable to capture a win at No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5, falling 3-2 after the singles matches.

Shackelford and Shackelford quickly evened the score 3-3, winning their doubles match 8-1. Unfortu-nately, the No. 2 doubles team of Zoe Petropoulos and Christina Woopen could not secure the win against a consistent St. George’s team.

Seven members of the SAS tennis team returned to Murfreesboro later in the week to compete in the individ-

ual portion of the State Tournament. Representing SAS in boys’ singles, Seth Morris faced an experienced player from St. George’s and lost, 6-0, 6-0. In boys’ doubles, Rob Hurst and Ben Calder won a three-set battle against Lausanne, 7-5, 2-6, 6-3, and then fell in the semifi nals to the ulti-mate champion, a University School of Nashville (USN) team, 6-0, 6-1.

In girls’ doubles, Woopen and Petropoulos edged out the No. 2 team in the west, 6-4, 7-6 (7-1), before fall-ing in the semifi nals to last year’s state champion from USN, 7-5, 6-3. In girls’ singles, Sadie Shackelford knocked off the No. 3 player from the west, 6-1, 6-3, and then took care of the No. 1 player from the west, 6-0, 6-0, on her way to the fi nals. In the other half of the draw, Avery Shackelford dominated the west’s No. 4 player, 6-2, 6-0, and then topped the east’s No. 3 player, 6-3, 6-3, to face her sister for the state championship.

Seemingly unperturbed by the matchup, the sisters played hard, testing each other every point. Ulti-mately, Sadie defended her 2008 state championship title with a 6-4, 6-3, win over Avery.

SES Field Day May 21Sewanee Elementary School students enjoyed their annual Field Day

events on May 21, on the University’s football fi eld. This is one of the students’ favorite days of the year, and they appreciate all that fi eld day general coach David Gilliam does to make it such fun. Above, kindergartener Jenna Black takes off running; below, fourth-graders play tug of war.

Track and FieldThe Southern Collegiate Ath-

letic Conference (SCAC) this week announced its inaugural Women’s Track and Field Sportsmanship Team. Ten women’s track and fi eld athletes were selected to the 2009 squad. Sewanee junior Chessie Macrae was among those honored. “Chessie is a very solid runner, student, teammate and citizen,” said Coach Jeff Heitzen-rater. “She is constantly putting the welfare of her team before herself. I look forward to having her leadership and model work ethic next year in her senior season.”

The SCAC is placing a special emphasis on sportsmanship this year, asking fans of the conference to exhibit good sportsmanship at all conference functions. Each coach was asked to elect one member per team who displayed good sportsmanship throughout the 2008–09 season.

Men’s TennisTwelve men’s tennis players were

selected to the 2009 Sportsmanship squad. Sewanee sophomore Jay Hill, of Greenville, S.C., was among those honored.

“Jay is not only an excellent tennis player and leader on our team, but he exemplifies hard work, dedica-tion and a commitment to playing the game the right way,” said Head Coach John Shackelford. “His peers and opponents both respect him as a true competitor and model of sportsmanship.”

Women’s TennisTwelve women’s tennis athletes

were selected to the 2009 Sports-manship Team. Sewanee’s Derry Roberson, from San Ignacio, Belize, was honored for Sewanee.

“Derry is just a super person who is always gracious after victory or defeat. A very positive player, she’s a pleasure to coach,” said Coach Con-chie Shackelford.

Nature NotesNight Sounds

Jean and Harry Yeatman report that they often spend evenings at their home listening to the interesting sounds. When they hear a loud, rapid “tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk,” they know it is the call of the Yellow-billed

Cuckoo. Sometimes it calls “cow-cow-cow.” These noises come from this long-tailed, slender bird with white under-tail markings, a white belly and throat, and a grayish-brown back and top of head. Its curved bill is as long as its head and has a yellow lower mandible.

The Yellow-billed Cuckoo spends the winters in Mexico, Central and South America and migrates to most of the eastern United States, rarely to the West. Its favorite food is caterpillars, especially those that spin and live in tents that look like spi-derwebs. Cuckoos pinch their prey to make it wet enough to

swallow. The Yeatmans note that if caterpillar tents are too numerous, you can shoot them out of treetops with a small-gauge shotgun, but don’t shoot the birds!

The Yellow-billed Cuckoo is a cousin to our slightly smaller Black-billed Cuckoo, which lacks the rufous (reddish-brown) wing feathers and has smaller white under-tail spots and a totally black bill. Our cuckoos’ nests are made of a loose bundle of sticks in a tree.

The European Cuckoo cousin is a large gray bird or, rarely, a brown female. This bird is a brood-parasite, which lays its eggs in other birds’ nests. Their young hatch early and kill or push out the other nestlings. The host mother dutifully rears the young cuckoos. This rearing habit is sometimes used by our Black-billed Cuckoos. Harry once found two of these smaller, differently marked eggs (not Cowbird eggs) in a Yellow-billed Cuckoo’s nest. The young of both species were reared by the adult female Yellow-billed Cuckoo. Behavior traits sometimes show up in cousins, so beware. Another name for our Black-billed Cuckoo is rain crow, but its call does not accurately predict rain.

Oh father, answer me,Why, why must money be?The stones along the shore,The leaves upon the tree

Are worth as much and more.Why must we labor forOur greasy greeneryWhen such fi ne things are free? . . .

The leaf, alas, will dieAnd crumble in your hand,And the stone’s color dryTo dullness on the sand.

And only money, son,Retains its characterWhen withered in the sunOr dried in the salt air.
