THANKS TO PATRONS, DONORS FOR SUPPORT IN HARD TIMESTo the Editor:

In looking over this past year with such economic uncertainty, it is truly overwhelming to refl ect on the tremendous help and support from the Sewanee and Monteagle communities for my business, the Blue Chair, and the nonprofi t I direct, Blue Monarch.

I have watched many restaurants close over the past year and sadly, have also watched a number of nonprofi ts shut their doors, some who serve the same population Blue Monarch does. (This is especially tragic since those services are needed even more during an economic crunch.)

So for all of you who continued to patronize the Blue Chair when you might have saved money staying at home, or continued to send checks to Blue Monarch when you might have been tempted to hold back, thank you for all you’ve done to help us survive and even thrive over this past year. We couldn’t have done it without you! Your many words of encouragement and even cards in the mail have been the light at the end of the tunnel for us.

As for the restaurant consultants who always advised me to move the Blue Chair to a big city—and the folks who doubted a small town could really support a nonprofi t like Blue Monarch—truth is we wouldn’t have it any other way.

COMMISSIONERS CONCERNEDOVER LOSS OF GERMANLANGUAGE INSTRUCTIONTo the Editor:

The full Franklin County Com-mission meeting on Sept. 21 went smoothly in that the matters dealt with —rezoning, committee mem-berships, budget cleanup—seemed quite routine.

One important issue that we are now aware of is, however, the cancel-lation of the teaching of the German language in Franklin County High School. Apparently the former popu-lar instructor, Marilyn Davidheiser, signified her intent to retire soon. Thereupon the school administration ended German instruction at FCHS. Director of Schools Rebecca Sharber maintained that there was not enough time to fi nd a qualifi ed replacement for Mrs. Davidheiser.

We, as commissioners, regret this existing gap in the instruction of a vital language. We will encourage the director and staff to make every effort to reinstitute the teaching of German in the near future.

SUCCESSFUL SHOES FORORPHANS’ SOULS 2009To the Editor:

On behalf of all the caring people at Monteagle First Baptist Church, Tracy City First Baptist Church, Monteagle Tire and Auto Service and Street’s Auto Parts, we would like to thank everyone who contributed to the Shoes for Orphans’ Souls 2009 shoe drive. We gathered 149 pairs of new shoes, more than 350 new pairs of socks and 17 pairs of shoelaces to distribute.

At the same time, we will minister to orphans and needy children in our country and around the world. Our contributions, combined with those from the Chattanooga and middle Tennessee areas, made it possible for 21,313 children to be the benefi ciaries of new shoes. Socks totaled 37,013 pairs and shoelaces, 746. Thank you for your contributions.

A DEEPER, RICHER EXPERIENCE OF LIFETo the Editor:

Over the last several weeks, I have had the privilege of being honored at two receptions—one on Aug. 5, 2009, at Emerald-Hodgson Hospital and then on Sept. 20, 2009, at the Sewanee Inn—both to mark the occasion of my retirement from offi ce practice here in Sewanee.

Both events were beautifully planned and carried out with much love, and I had the pleasure of seeing so many of you for hugs and well wishes. I was particularly honored by the creation of a Haiti Mission Fund

SALES BY SHENANIGANSARTISTS AND GENEROUS MATCH BENEFIT HUNGRYTo the Editor:

As many in Sewanee may remem-ber, in August the artists of Shenani-gans Gallery made “Food” a theme of our art work and pledged a percent-age of our gallery sales to the support of local food related charities, specifi -cally the Sewanee Community Action Committee and the Grundy County Food Bank. Thanks to the generosity of those who have visited our Gallery, we were able to raise $300, which we will divide evenly between these two deserving charities. In addition, Kiki and Ben Beavers, Shenanigans owners, have graciously offered to match our donations, meaning that the CAC and Grundy Food Bank will each receive $300.

All of us who display our work in Shenanigans Gallery would like to thank the people of Sewanee for their support of our art and for their concern for the well-being of their neighbors in these difficult times. In addition, we would like to extend a special thank you to Kiki and Ben for providing such a warm, wonderful setting for our artistic creations. We are all blessed to live in such a caring community.

at Regions Bank that has been set up to help support work that I and others do in Haiti, which was presented to me on Sept. 20.

I need each and every one of you who attended, or sent me a card, or simply expressed their thoughts to me in the offi ce before my last day there, to know how much that has meant to me, and how much you mean to me as individuals and a community.

Dr. Matt and I came here 23 years ago with the intent of practicing good primary care medicine in a small ru-ral town to try to help an entire com-munity. What I have learned is that in hearing your concerns, helping in whatever way we could, experiencing your grace at times of distress, and in sharing laughter with you, that my own experience of life is deeper and richer in every way. Thank you.

Curbside Recycling

FridayResidential curbside recycling

pickup in Sewanee is on the fi rst and third Friday of each month. Friday, Oct. 2, will be a pickup day. Recyclable materials must be separated by type and placed in blue bags by the side of the road no later than 7:30 a.m. Please do not put out general household trash on this day.

Blue bags may be picked up in the University Lease Offi ce, 110 Carnegie Hall, at the Physical Plant Services administrative office on Alabama Avenue or at the PPS warehouse on Georgia Avenue.

Those searching for answers con-cerning the U.S. military presence in Afghanistan won’t want to miss the fi lm “Rethink Afghanistan” and follow-up discussion scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 6, at 7 p.m. in Gailor Auditorium. Produced and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Robert Greenwald, “Rethink Afghanistan” examines the consequences of mili-tary escalation in Afghanistan and how the war could further destabilize a nuclear-armed Pakistan.

The cost of sending one U.S. soldier to Afghanistan is more than $700,000. Why? Conditions of Afghan women are drastically worse since the U.S. invasion in October 2001. Why? What is the relationship between al-Qaeda and the Taliban?

A discussion will follow the 72-minute fi lm, with Yasmeen Mo-hiuddin, Arthur Knoll and Henry Hamman serving as discussion leaders. Mohiuddin is a Pakistani native. In her role as University professor of economics, she estab-lished Sewanee’s Summer-in-South Asia Program, enabling students to travel to Bangladesh and study the Grameen Bank’s success in making

loans to the severely impoverished population. Knoll is former professor of Middle Eastern history at the Uni-versity of the South. Hamman set up a relief program for Afghan refugees in western Pakistan sponsored by the Afghanistan Relief Committee after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Later, as London bureau chief for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, he reported on the negotiations that led to the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan. His novel “Lapis” is set in Afghanistan.

There are now more than 100,000 Western troops in Afghanistan, including 63,000 Americans. More Western troops have been killed this year than in any year since the confl ict began. The screening of “Rethink Afghanistan” is scheduled to coincide with the anniversary of the U.S. inva-sion of Afghanistan, which began on Oct. 7, 2001.

The African American Alliance and Cumberland Center for Justice and Peace (CCJP) are co-sponsoring the fi lm-discussion event. For more information contact Leslie Lytle at sllytle@blomand.net or 598-9979.

Pantry Sunday Oct. 4

At its regular meeting on Sept. 10, the Franklin County School Board discussed revisions to its policy on Drug Testing of Student Athletes and approved the revised policy. Board members also discussed their policy on fi eld trips, particularly using rec-reational or entertainment trips as rewards for reading achievement.

The district’s policy on Drug Testing of Student Athletes covers students in grades six through 12 who participate in school-sponsored athletic events, including cheerlead-ers and teams’ support staff.

The revised policy says, “The process of drug testing of student athletes is a serious endeavor. When-ever it is allowed by Tennessee State law, the Franklin County Board of Education prefers to be able to conduct random drug tests of ath-letes. It is important to maintain the integrity of this process. Therefore, any employee or volunteer found to jeopardize the integrity of the drug-testing process shall be appropriately disciplined, which could include ter-mination.”

Board members also discussed the merits of testing for drugs using hair samples instead of urine speci-mens. They asked Assistant Superin-tendent Linda Foster to research the cost of hair tests.

Sewanee representative Steve Ford asked about sections of the policy covering middle school stu-dents who had been involved in

F.C. School Board Approves Athlete Drug Testing Policy, Discusses Field

Trip Policydrug use and their eligibility for high school sports.

The policy says that if a student has two positive drug test results throughout grades six through eight, the student will be suspended from all further participation in athletics. This means that two strikes and you’re out of sports for middle school.

Board members changed wording in another part of the policy, stating that positive drug test results carry over from year to year throughout the student’s career at the middle school level. At the beginning of high school, students will start with a clean record.

Ford said he hopes students will learn from their mistakes in middle school and be ready to participate in high school athletics.

Under new business, members discussed the fi eld trip policy that limits trips to those deemed “edu-cationally beneficial.” Director of Schools Rebecca Sharber said she had not given permission for teach-ers at Cowan Elementary School to take students on a fi eld trip to the Winchester Swimplex as a reward for achieving particular levels in the school’s accelerated reading program. Sharber said this trip did not qualify as educational.

Chris Guess said he was concerned about cutting this type of trip be-cause schools that use fun fi eld trips as rewards have been successful

Peace Vigil Set for Wednesdayversary of the U.S.-Afghan confl ict which began on Oct. 7, 2001, when the U.S. launched Operation Enduring Freedom with the goal of neutralizing the international terrorist group al-Qaeda, which claimed responsibility for the Sept. 11 attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C.

Most Afghans alive today have seen nothing but war, beginning with the Soviet invasion in 1979. More than a million Afghans have been killed and three million maimed, almost one-third of the prewar population. There are 3.1 million Afghan refugees. According to most foreign policy ex-perts, al-Qaeda—the declared enemy of the U.S.—is no longer a presence in the country.

The vigil is being sponsored by the Cumberland Center for Justice and Peace. Signs will be available at the vigil site. Participants may park in the Sewanee Gardeners’ Market lot at the corner of Highway 41A and Hawkins Lane. For more information contact Leslie Lytle at 598-9979 or <sllytle@blomand.net>.

The foundation has been graded, Garden said, with the trenching work to come next. He anticipates the slab will be poured in mid-October. All excavation is being done with a rock trencher, and no blasting will be necessary. The proposed interior and exterior paint colors will be displayed at the SUD offi ce in early October, and community residents will be invited to comment on the paint selections.

By the BWSC time line, the build-ing should be closed in and ready to receive equipment in early January 2010. During the testing phase, pro-jected for early July, water processed in the new plant will feed water to the extant plant; that is, for a short period the water will be treated twice, in or-der to keep the existing plant online during the testing phase.

SUD Manager Ben Beavers raised a question about the need for a policy to govern the maintenance of private hydrants. The University and St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School recently installed hydrants at build-ings being outfi tted with sprinkler systems. According to state fi re code regulations, any building with a sprinkler system must have a hydrant within 100 feet of the building. The University is installing sprinkler systems in all dorms. St. Andrew’s-Sewanee installed a sprinkler system at McCrory Hall to comply with new regulations for newly constructed public facilities.

SUD charges the University for hydrant maintenance, Beavers ac-knowledged. However, hydrants lo-cated within 100 feet of a building are diffi cult to fl ush without fl ooding the building, and, also, the hydrants are often diffi cult to access. For buildings with sprinkler systems, the hydrants are located on the fi re service line for the building. According to the Ten-nessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), SUD is not responsible for maintaining and fl ushing the private hydrants, even though the water is not metered and in direct contact with the water in the SUD system. There is no TDEC or state fi re code policy to govern maintenance of private hydrants.

Construction Underway for New Water Plant in Sewanee

SUD Commissioner Rick Sommer advised that a policy needed to be devised, based on input from TDEC and the state fi re marshal. Beavers will follow up with the goal of draft-ing a policy.

In other business, Beavers sought the board’s opinion on an employee leave bank system. SUD employees have expressed interest in donating their leave time to an employee whose wife is experiencing severe complica-tions related to her pregnancy; the employee anticipates needing to take time off from work in excess of his accumulated leave. The board voiced approval of the practice. A vote was not necessary since the employee relations matter fell within the do-main of responsibilities assigned to the manager.

In an update on the leak in the Lake Jackson dam, Beavers said dye testing in three bore holes yielded positive results. Beavers will contract grout companies for bids on repairing the three leak sources.

The logger conducting the timber harvest in the wastewater treatment plant spray fields has damaged two spray heads, Beavers reported. Beavers has decided to forgive the logger the cost of replacing the spray heads in return for the logger clearing sapling and brush growth from the banks of the B Cell lagoon. Beavers justifi ed the decision as cost-saving for SUD, explaining that it would take SUD employees several days to do the job with a weed-eater.

Sommer announced that the regional water supply planning meeting scheduled for 5 p.m., Oct. 5, will be held at Monteagle City Hall (a change from the previously desig-nated location to allow for handicap accessibility).

The next regular business meeting of the SUD Board of Commissioners is scheduled for 5 p.m., Oct. 27 at the SUD office building on Sherwood Road.

Kathy Prince, one of North El-ementary School’s special education teachers in Altamont, is starting an after-school program to teach fi fth- and sixth- grade students how to play the guitar. She attended a workshop presented by the nonprofi t organization Little Kids Rock (LKR) and is excited about using the new teaching techniques she learned with interested students.

According to the LKR website, “The program focuses on popular music styles that most students al-ready listen to, including rock, blues, rap and hip-hop.” A few of LKR’s honorary board members are Bonnie Raitt, Paul Simon and BB King.

Prince says that, while she plays “well enough to get the kids started,” she is looking for a few accomplished guitarists from the University and the larger community who would like to volunteer to help teach students who are eager to learn.

Prince can order Fender classical acoustic guitars from LKR for $50 each. She is asking individuals and businesses in the Mountain commu-nity to fund guitars for children who cannot afford to buy one.

Little Kids Rock has been operat-ing only in large, inner-city schools. Prince says, “I begged my way into the workshop and had a fabulous experi-ence.” She convinced the workshop leaders that her Grundy County stu-dents are just as needful as children who live in large cities. The LKR organization usually works with large corporations and businesses that donate funds for guitars and other

Guitars for Grundy Programinstruments for their city’s schools. To help Prince get her rural program started, LKR is providing good qual-ity guitars for a low price.

Members of the community who would like to donate funds to pur-chase guitars or volunteer to help teach are asked to leave a message for Prince at (931) 692-3367 or at North Elementary School, (931) 692-3710. Note: All volunteers in schools are required to pass a background check at their own cost before they can work with students.

Joe Wilson has accepted the position of assistant coach for the Sewanee men’s lacrosse team, according to Marty Watters, head coach for the Tigers.

“I really appreciate the oppor-tunity that Coach Watters, Mark Webb and Sewanee have given me,” Wilson said. “I look forward to getting on campus, getting to work and learning everything I can from the athletic staff. I’m a local guy, and it’s great to see the growth of lacrosse in Tennessee. Hopefully, I can be an addition to that growth.”

A lacrosse player since child-hood, Wilson, from Franklin, Tenn., brought his love for the sport to Brentwood Academy and the University of Tennessee, where he was the vice president, president and captain of the club lacrosse team.

In 2008 Wilson graduated from UT with a bachelor’s degree in communication with a focus on journalism and electronic media. Prior to his arrival on the Moun-tain, Joe worked for Harrow Sports and coached at Woodland Middle School in Brentwood.

The University’s Spanish House recently had the opportunity to showcase the cuisine of Peruvian chef Enrique Madico. He presented his homeland’s cuisine, history and culture through a demonstration and tasting of typical Peruvian dishes.

Providing a variety of dishes from distinct regions, Madico instructed a large gathering of faculty and students on the selection of ingredients, prepa-ration and proper cooking methods for his regional fare. The menu in-cluded tilapia ceviche, mussels served with corn salsa and a traditional fl an

He has begun talks with UNICEF to imple-ment the use of “Nutrifi sh,” a Peruvian protein concentrate product. Madico believes this product could assist the alleviation of the hunger crisis in de-veloping countries around the world. Sewanee senior Chima Ikwuezunma said that the Spanish Department thanks Chef Madico for his delightful, delicious presentation, and wishes him all the best in his future competi-tions and undertakings.

Barbara Hughes and Larry Carden are the featured artists in Shenani-gans Gallery in October. To help celebrate their work, Shenanigans and the gallery’s artists will host a reception with food in the gallery on Sunday, Oct. 4, from 3 to 5 p.m.

Barbara Hughes will show paint-ings on wood she did in response to a mission trip she took to Haiti last year with the Sisters of Saint Mary. Hughes’ exhibit, “Little Ones of Haiti,” includes paintings, in the bright col-ors of the Haitian culture, of seven children she tended to in an infant rescue home in Port-au-Prince. Hughes says she wanted to “celebrate the personhood of each of these little children whom I came to love while I was there.” The stories of each child will be part of the show. Visitors to the gallery will have an opportunity to contribute to this remarkable home, if they choose.

in encouraging children to read. Cleijo Walker agreed, saying, “We need to keep fi eld trips as rewards for reading success, but the kids left behind in their schools need to be getting instruction, not just babysat.” Michelle Stovall said, “We need to be careful not to discourage our lower tier students; if they are working just as hard as higher level students, we need to encourage them, too.”

Elementary Supervisor Nancy Graham said a list of educational fi eld trips has been drawn up; she will give this list to the board before its next meeting. Members agreed to discuss this issue at their Oct. 1 work session.

In other business, Chairman Mike Cunningham and Vice Chair-man Chris Guess were re-elected to the same positions for the 2009–10 academic year, and Kevin Caroland volunteered to serve as the board’s

representative to the Tennessee Legis-lative Network (TLN). Ford has served as the TLN representative for the past two years. The TLN is a school board lobbying group that keeps lines of communication open between the Tennessee School Board Association and local school boards.

Walker and Guess will represent the board as trustees for the certi-fi ed staff ’s sick leave bank. If bank members become seriously ill, they may apply for 20 to 60 days of paid sick leave. The trustees vote on granting the requested days. If the days are granted, an individual may use them after using all of his or her accumulated sick leave days.

Among several items Sharber mentioned in her report, she has ordered hand sanitizer dispensers to be installed near all school cafeterias. She plans to cancel ENA, the district’s Internet service provider, and change

to AT&T. If the district uses AT&T, its representative has assured her that AT&T will install fi ber optics to sup-ply high-speed, broadband coverage throughout Franklin County.

The next work session will be on Thursday, Oct. 1, at 6:30 p.m, and the next regular school board meet-ing will be held on Thursday, Oct. 8, at 6:30 p.m. in the board meeting room.

Dozens Attend Hen Hall Blessing at the GreenHouse

On Sept. 26, several dozen Univer-sity students, families, faculty, staff and community members fi lled the GreenHouse in the afternoon for a celebration around the blessing of the new chicken coop named “Hen Hall.” As they arrived on the cool, rainy afternoon, guests were greeted by the sounds of local musicians and the aromas of freshly baked bread and mint tea.

The blessings represented mul-tiple faith traditions. Pastor Jack Nance of Hubbards’ Cove Church of God in Sherwood recited a Psalm and led the group assembled near the chicken coop in prayer. Professors Sid Brown and Julie Püttgen offered a Buddhist blessing.

S ewanee’s env ironmental ly themed, sustainably focused student residence—the GreenHouse—is ret-rofi tted with low-fl ow showerheads and energy-effi cient lighting.

Senior Paul Dixon is the house manager of the GreenHouse. He and the other nine residents wanted to raise chickens to increase aware-ness about living sustainably. “A lot of students don’t know where their food comes from,” said Dixon. “People like animals and can associate with them more than with a garden of vegetables.”

Sewanee Children’s Center Outingsthrough Abbo’s Alley to hunt for scents. This hike was the culmination of their study of human senses.

Sports ScoreboardSewanee first-year goalkeeper

Britt Williams has been named Ti-ger of the Week and SCAC Women’s Soccer Defensive Player of the Week for her play the weekend of Sept. 25–27.

Head coach Patrick Johnston said, “Our defensive record speaks for itself, and while in previous games she was somewhat isolated due to the outstanding players in front of her, Britt was everything we needed this weekend. She was more the reason for our perfect defensive weekend than any other player.”

During weekend play, Williams earned two shutouts in goal for Se-wanee as the Tigers played to a 0-0 draw with DePauw and won over Centre 1-0; they remain unbeaten at 5-0-1. She had 12 saves on the weekend. Williams, a freshman, hasn’t lost a match for the Tigers and has allowed only one goal in all 560 minutes of all six Tiger matches. She has earned fi ve shutouts and has 24 saves so far in 2009.

Other Outstanding Performances

Chris Grover, a freshman goal-keeper on the Sewanee men’s soccer team, earned the win in goal for Sewanee’s double overtime win over DePauw on Sept. 25 and then came in at halftime on Sept. 27 to hold Centre scoreless in the second half and get the 2-1 win. He was also named the SCAC Men’s Soccer Defensive Player of the Week. The Tigers are 2-0 so far in the SCAC.

After a week off due to poor weather conditions, St. Andrew’s-Sewanee girls’ varsity soccer team traveled to Nashville twice last week to compete against two regional op-ponents, St. Cecelia and Mt. Juliet Christian.

St. Cecelia, currently the number one team in the region, dominated play and defeated the Mountain Lions 0-6.Despite the loss, freshman goalkeeper Katie Craighill kept her composure throughout the match and came up with some huge saves.

On Thursday, Sept. 23, the Moun-tain Lions bounced back to defeat Mt. Juliet Christian, 3-1. Senior defender Hannah Barry led the team, scoring her fi rst hat trick of her career off a corner kick from freshman Nikki Johnston. Twelve minutes later Barry

Great Finale for SAS Golfers

The Sequatchie Invitational Tour-nament on Sept. 24 at Fall Creek Falls Golf Course wrapped up the season for the SAS Mountain Lion golf team. They came out of it with a winning season and a third-place award out of a fi eld of seven teams.

The winner of the tournament was South Pittsburg (371), followed by host Sequatchie County (389). The Mountain Lions (404) were excited by their improvement over the season, refl ected by their defeat of Richard Hardy—which had beaten them twice earlier in the season, Bledsoe County, Van Buren County and Boyd Christian.

At the tournament the Lions were led to victory by eighth-grader Jenna Burris (91), who played from the men’s tees. Jenna took home the third-place individual medal—in a field of 34 boys. Also contribut-ing to the team’s greatly improved performance were Danny Hseih (97) of Taiwan, Swade Mooney (106) of Monteagle and Martin Robinson (110) of Shreveport, La.

Coaches Phil and Jerry White ap-preciated the way the players worked to improve throughout the season and expressed great appreciation for Dan Hatfi eld, Sewanee Golf Course manager, and David Burris, of Willow Brook Golf Course, who helped all the players move closer to their po-tentials. The Whites see even greater seasons in the years ahead because of the unusual number of promising golfers in the middle school.

The St. Andrew’s-Sewanee Middle School soccer team defeated Huntland School (5-0) on Sept. 28.

The Mountain Lions came out strongly from the fi rst whistle and dominated play for the entire game. Goals were scored by eighth-graders Emily Blount and Marisa Wilson with two apiece. Eliza McNair added the fi fth goal in the second half.

Blount did an excellent job of con-trolling the fi eld and distributing the ball from the center-midfi elder posi-tion. Other outstanding performances in the game included the leadership and hustle from captain Lucy Howick at sweeper and Sarah Beavers in goal.

The St. Andrew’s-Sewanee vol-leyball team picked up two wins recently.

On Sept. 22, the SAS team defeated Davidson Academy, 25-21, 25-23, 25-19 and 25-22. Hannah Wimber-ley came off the bench to spark the Mountain Lions in the fourth game when they were trailing by three points. Wimberley served the next four points, including two aces to lead the comeback. Middle hitters Elle Gilbert and Mollie Farrell battled at the net with Davidson’s strong front line. Gilbert led the team with 14 kills, four blocks and eight digs; followed by Farrell, seven kills, two blocks, two aces and seven digs; Asia Szewczyk, fi ve aces, three kills and six digs; Wimberley, four aces; Maddie Griswold, 18 assists; Catelyn Hutch-erson, four digs; Allyson Crandall, two digs.

DePauw Football Edges Out Sewanee

SAS Girls’ Varsity Soccer 5-2-1hammered home her second goal.

Eight minutes into the second half Mt. Juliet Christian scored. SAS’s Barry continued her dominance when sophomore Allyson Ridley split Mt. Juliet’s back line, and Barry was free to slot home a shot just past their keeper.

“We had a diffi cult time fi nding a rhythm,” commented Coach Burns, “but we continued to fi ght and came out with the victory.” In addition to Barry’s performance, junior Allison Post played hard throughout the match, creating scoring opportunities while freshman Alex Berner-Coe and kunior Lucia Krcmeryova worked to adjust to new positions on SAS’s back line.

The Mountain Lions move to 5-2-1.

SAS MS Soccer Team Defeats HuntlandSeventh-grader Eva Miller did an excellent job moving to the ball and clearing it out of the back, not allow-ing Huntland to create many offensive opportunities. All new sixth-graders played great games; a particular highlight was Isabel Butler’s beautiful driven cross from the right side of the fi eld late in the game.

Coach Knoll praised the team: “We have been working really hard on the basics. It was so exciting to see all this come together for the girls in this game. They won almost every ball out of the air and were passing crisply. This game was a true team effort.”

SAS Volleyball Wins TwoOn Sept. 28, the team picked up a

hard-fought district win against Riv-erside Christian School, 9-25, 23-25, 25-17, 25-19 and 15-12. SAS got off to a slow start dropping the fi rst two games, but rarely trailed in the fi nal three games.

Seniors Szewczyk, Farrell and Griswold rallied the team, dominating the net and running the offense. Emily Thomas, Hutcherson, Wimberley and Ellen Gobel did a nice job on defense. Farrell led SAS with 17 kills, 10 digs and two blocks; Szewczyk added 11 kills, one block and 10 digs; Griswold, 24 assists; Ivy Chuang, two aces.

SAS improves to 13-7 (4-3) on the season. Head coach Rob Zeitler said, “It was a gutsy win for us. After trailing by two games, we fought back to pull out the win against a good team.”

Nature NotesScreech Owls

In late afternoons this month, Jean and Harry Yeatman have enjoyed listening to the voice of the Screech Owl. It sounds like a tremulous whistle, rising and then falling. It is a sort of “whinny,” and can easily be imitated by people. Sometimes these owls get into the Yeatmans’ basement, but are easily removed. This owl occurs in two color morphs, in spite of books calling them color phases; phase means stage of development. Little Blue Herons start out as white-plumaged and molt to permanent blue. Screech Owls keep their colors throughout life.

The Screech Owl has feather tufts that are incorrectly called “ears.” The true ears are lower on the head and hidden by feathers. One of the ears is lower than the other, which helps owls hear more correctly.

Woodpecker holes, natural cavities and birdhouses are used for nesting, sleeping and escaping the rain, snow and enemies such as hawks, large owls, bothersome Blue Jays and Crows. Our big Barred Owls fi nd Screech Owls to be their favorite food, and locate them by following their calls. In areas with many Barred Owls, Screech Owls have learned to call less often.

Their food consists of beetles, small birds, moths, mice, shrews and even earthworms. Crayfi sh were found in the crops and gizzards of Screech Owls killed by cars near Morgan’s Steep.

Four or fi ve white, rounded eggs are laid in selected holes in trees and in boxes. The downy young are protected by the adults, that will even attack people pass-ing too close to the nesting site.

Summer has given way to fall.Many kudos to Marianne Tyndall, the Happy Gardener, for using one of the best gardening tricks around—planting late blooming, fl oriferous annuals in the late spring/early sum-mer to fi ll gaps in a perennial bed. The zinnias, cosmos, and sunfl owers at the Lemon Fair and St. Andrew’s-Sewanee have been spectacular. The great thing with this practice is once some annuals have been planted, cosmos and cleome in particular, they will reseed consistently. Then, they can be moved to an appropri-ate spot.

Now the conditions are perfect for fall planting. My greatest consid-eration when transplanting is soil moisture. Although all plants should be watered in after transplanting, consideration should be given when digging things up. If plants are moved when the soil is too dry or too wet, they are not given optimal conditions for a good start. Another consideration when transplanting now is setting priorities. For instance, I intend to substantially rearrange a hosta collection this fall. Because the leaves are the showy part of the plant and these leaves will be decimated by the fi rst freeze, I need to rearrange these plants now while I can tell who is who. Of course, these plants could also be labeled and thus moved at any point, with or without leaves.

—By Buck Gorrell (C’88), a 1997 graduate in horticulture of the Uni-versity of Tennessee at Knoxville, has worked and trained in Atlanta, Knoxville, England and Nashville. He describes his gardening as “water con-cious, shade tolerant and deer saavy.”

Freedom is not following a river.Freedom is following a river, though, if you want to.It is deciding now by what happens now.It is knowing that luck makes a difference.

No leader is free, no follower is free— the rest of us can often be free.Most of the world are living bycreeds too odd, chancy, and habit-forming to be worth arguing about by reason.

If you are oppressed, wake up aboutfour in the morning: most places,you can be usually free some of the time if you wake up before other people.
