The St. Lawrence String Quartet (SLSQ) will give a concert on Fri-day, Feb. 20, at 7:30 p.m. in Guerry Auditorium as part of the Sewanee Performing Arts Series. The group is one of the world-class chamber ensembles of its generation and for 13 summers has been the resident quartet of the Spoleto USA Festival in Charleston, S.C.

The concert at Sewanee will in-clude a Haydn string quartet and some movements from the rarely played, lyrical Dvorak quartet “Cy-presses,” followed by newer music.

Local musicians will join the SLSQ for a remarkable work by Argentine composer Osvaldo Golijov for double string quartet and bass, called “Last Round.” Joining SLSQ are Sewanee music instructor Katherine Lehman, three others from Orchestra Nashville and Sewanee Summer Music Festival bassist Sidney King from Louisville.

“Last Round” was written upon the death of renowned tango com-poser Astor Piazzolla. The title is a boxing reference, as Argentine com-poser Osvaldo Golijov figuratively offers Piazzolla one more appearance. The work is an “idealized bandoneon” (the accordionlike instrument syn-onymous with tango), with the fi rst movement a “violent compression” of the sides of the instrument and the second movement a “fi nal, seemingly

University Bookstore Hosts Coe Book Signing Friday

At its Feb. 12 meeting, members of the Franklin County Board of Education were given a binder containing information about the top fi ve candidates for director of schools, selected by a committee of education professionals ap-pointed by the Tennessee School Board Association (TSBA).

AMBULANCE SERVICE UPDATETo the Editor:

The special committee appointed by Franklin County Mayor Richard Stewart to harmonize divergent views about fi rst responder service met on Feb. 11. Basically, the meeting fulfi lled our expectations.

The committee resolution, to be sent to the county legislative commit-tee, stated that Franklin EMS, a divi-sion of Grundy EMS, be the primary ambulance provider for the Domain, the Sewanee Mountain area, Highway 56 running through Sherwood, High-way 156, and other areas: in short, for the whole plateau area. On the other hand, Rural Metro Ambulance Service would be the fi rst responder for all areas in the Franklin County not granted to Franklin EMS.

This division of responsibility derived from an agreement between Franklin EMS and Rural Metro; it still needs the assent of the county commission. We have the list of areas covered by Franklin EMS. We are hopeful that the county commission will accept this resolution at its next meeting, if it is not changed in the legislative committee.

The only real debate at this meet-ing was provided by representatives from Trans-Med ambulance service, a for-profi t group, which sought to be included as a Franklin County provider. This did not occur; the issue may resurface in the future.

COUNTY REPUBLICANS TO RESCHEDULE MEETING To the Editor:

On Feb. 13, the Franklin County Republican Party was scheduled to meet for its biennial reorganizational meeting. Many more people than ex-pected showed up. The leaders of the meeting phoned their state advisor, Randy Stamps.

“Since it was going to be impos-sible for everyone present to [fi t] in the room for the meeting, we recom-mended that they suspend the meet-ing and reschedule,” stated Stamps, the Tennessee Republican Party state director and attorney.

The F.C. Republican Party had re-served a room at the Franklin County Annex that holds around 40 people. By the time the meeting was supposed to start, there were at least 60 people in the room, and almost as many were in the hallway trying to get inside.

“We regret that we had to call off the meeting, but we were unprepared for the high attendance. In the past we usually have only a few dozen attendees,” stated Franklin County Republican Chairman Ray Burns, who is not planning on seeking an-other term.

“I know many were upset that we did not have the meeting anyway since we had such strong turnout, but we wanted it to be fair to everyone. We are working to reserve a larger room and meet again in the next few weeks.”

The Tennessee Republican Party has agreed to help offi ciate the re-scheduled meeting. Currently, the state party is reviewing all procedures laid out in the bylaws to make sure the county’s reorganizational meeting runs smoothly. As soon as a new loca-tion is secured and a date set, a public announcement will be made.

The F.C. Republican Party also

SES RECYCLING FOSTERS GOOD GREEN HABITSTo the Editor:

The Sewanee Elementary School PTO announces that starting last month SES began to recycle paper on a regular basis. Principal Mike Maxon estimates that from 25 to 30 blue 30-gallon bags full of recyclable paper are picked up on the fi rst and third Fridays of the month. That’s a lot. But even more important than the amount of paper being saved from the landfi ll are the good green habits the school is fostering in the students, who have founded their own Green Club. To the three Rs we can now add a fourth—recycling!

PETITION IN TOWN TO RETAIN ELECTIONS ADMINISTRATORTo the Editor:

There is a petition at the Sewanee Senior Citizens’ Center, the Midway Market and the Sewanee Market ask-ing people to express their support to retain Phillip Custer as administrator of elections.

Franklin County has always been a place where I’ve never had any doubt that every vote—republican or democrat—would be counted. Phillip Custer has never been active in party politics, does not wear his political beliefs on his sleeve, and is by all accounts a fair, honest and capable administrator of elections.

His position is in jeopardy due to the recent election in which, for the first time, Republicans control the Tennessee state legislature. While it was controlled by Democrats, the boards of the county election com-mission were composed of three Democrats and two Republicans. Now, the boards will consist of three Republicans and two Democrats. That is fair enough and is the law of the land. What is troubling is that the state Republican Party wants to replace all the administrators of elections in all counties with people of their choice.

If Phillip Custer loses the position he has held for roughly 10 years, it will be for purely partisan reasons and not because he has failed in executing his duties, nor has he ever been accused of being partisan.

Please sign the petition supporting Phillip Custer.

Helen StapletonSewanee ■

wants to clarify to the public the purpose of the reorganizational meet-ing. Only the election of county party offi cers will be held: chair, vice chair, secretary and treasurer.

There was a misunderstanding that this meeting was called to vote on the county election commissioners and the current county administra-tor of elections. That is not the case. Only the direct party offi cers will be elected.

At the Feb. 9 Sewanee Woman’s Club meeting, Regina Rourk and Betty Phillips gave presentations on the topic “Taking Care of Myself in Diffi cult Times.” Rourk is a licensed massage therapist and certified neuromuscular therapist, and Phil-lips practices individual and group psychotherapy. Both have offi ces at Stillpoint, located between Sewanee and Monteagle.

Rourk briefl y demonstrated one type of gentle massage while the cli-ent (volunteer Rachel Lynch) sat in a specially designed chair and Rourk demonstrated how she can massage a person’s neck, shoulders, arms, hands, upper and lower back and hips. After massage therapy helped Rourk to recover from back pain so severe she could not walk, she decid-ed to become a practitioner. She said that massage therapy not only eases chronic pain but also decreases blood pressure by increasing circulation, increases range of motion, improves skin elasticity, gently drains lymph glands, improves lung elasticity and eases stress.

Besides receiving massages to stay healthy and relieve stress, Rourk recommended setting aside time for regular exercise, playing a musical instrument or listening to music or volunteering to help others. She said, “Find what you enjoy doing, and do it!”

Phillips said that to care for our-selves in diffi cult and stressful times, we need to take care of ourselves in the good times too. Seeing ourselves

Woman’s Club Members Get Strategies for Taking Care of Themselves

as we truly are takes hearing our own voices. We’ve been taught to look outside ourselves for how we should behave, she said, and when we do this, we become alienated from our true selves. Most of us are experts in managing other people’s impressions of us, fi ll our days with distractions and are overcommitted. “We need to take time to listen to our true selves,” she advised.

We have the right to our own time to do nothing but to be, and we need to honor our beings from inside out. “Don’t worry about what others think, and don’t strive for perfection,” said Phillips. Letting go of who we think we ought to be is a fi rst step toward fi guring out who we really are. “Look directly with compassion and humor at who you are, and look at your fears as hand-me-downs,” she said. We cannot change anything until we accept who we are now. She quoted Ram Dass: “When you are forced to bear the unbearable, something dies in you. What dies in you is who you thought you were that couldn’t bear the unbearable.”

Phillips reminded the audience of a book that was popular years ago, “I’m OK, You’re OK,” and said she believes a better alternative is “I’m Not OK, You’re Not OK, and That’s OK.” The best way to combat the hard times, she said, is to “practice loving kindness toward ourselves.” Keep quiet enough “to hear your own voice and accept your true self.”

The University’s Black History Month Lecture Series presents Joseph L. Jones speaking on “Hip-Hop Made Me Do It: Ideological and Institu-tional Defi cits in Contemporary Black Reality,” on Tuesday, Feb. 24, at 7 p.m. in Gailor Auditorium. The lecture is free, and the public is welcome.

Jones will address how hip-hop music has fi lled an institutional void that traditionally socialized African American youth. In response, sec-tions of the African American com-munity and American society have elevated hip-hop to an institutional status, making it vulnerable and re-sponsible for the stagnation of black advancement. A new ideological slant has been developed within hip-hop that is antithetical to mainstream black ideological traditions—hood mentality.

Jones is assistant professor in the department of political science

Black History Month Lecture:“Hip-Hop Made Me Do It”

at Johnson C. Smith University and a doctoral candidate in political science at Clark-Atlanta University. He is a scholar of and advocate for political liberation as it relates to African Americans. Jones studied in Grahamstown, South Africa, and was a fellow at the Black Panther Party Research Project at Stanford Univer-sity. He is working with the American Bar Foundation and Northwestern University on a research project dealing with voter mobilization of ex-prisoners. As a teacher, Jones was instrumental in creating the first course to fuse political science and hip-hop in an academic setting, “The Politics of Hip-Hop.”

This lecture is sponsored by the Sewanee Lectures Committee, de-partments of Political Science and History and the Multicultural Affairs Offi ce.

State of the HospitalAll departments—general ad-

missions, skilled care admissions, outpatient visits and emergency room visits—experienced slightly higher than expected utilization for the month of January. ER visits, which were up by 10 percent com-pared to January 2008, showed the greatest increase.

“We continue to see growth in laboratory, imaging and physical therapy,” noted EHH Administra-tor Ralph Underwood, comment-ing on the steady rise in utilization of EHH’s outpatient facilities.

The Board of Commissioners of the Sewanee Utility District (SUD) of Franklin and Marion Counties held a special called meeting on Feb. 12 to discuss developments affecting the new water plant.

New SUD commissioners Karen Singer and Ken Smith were sworn in prior to the onset of the meeting.

Representing Barge, Waggoner, Sumner and Cannon (BWSC), the engineering firm overseeing con-struction of the water plant, project manager Ed Walker updated the new commissioners on changes to the water plant design made in the past year, which led to the current circum-stance requiring still further design modifi cations to meet with the ap-proval of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation

SUD Approves Water Plant Modifi cations and Cost Increase

(TDEC). In the spring of 2008, Walker ex-

plained, BWSC informed the board that the original design plan devel-oped by the engineering fi rm Griggs and Maloney did not provide for pretreatment, a critical component. To mitigate cost increases associ-ated with including pretreatment, the board accepted BWSC’s recom-mendation to purchase only one train of 1-million gpd capacity membrane fi lters, instead of two; BWSC reasoned that the redundancy (i.e. backup support) provided by two trains was unnecessary. At the time, BWSC conferred with TDEC and was under the impression TDEC approved the design change.

the Franklin County school board, has called a special meeting at 4:15 p.m. today, Feb. 19, at the Board of Educa-tion, 215 S. College St., Winchester, before today’s scheduled director of schools candidate interviews at 4:30 and 7 p.m. (See article on director of schools candidates on page 1.)

In an e-mail to board members and the media Tuesday night, Cun-ningham said the purpose of this meeting “is to provide an opportunity for a motion or motions to consider an addition to the current list of in-terviewees.”

Cunningham declined to say who asked for the special meeting; did not know the new names of direc-tor candidates to be submitted; and, “didn’t know for sure” whether the names to be added had been vetted by the state agency the county hired for that purpose.

Sewanee, TDOT Collaborate for

Workshop FridayThe Sewanee Herbarium will host

a workshop for Tennessee Depart-ment of Transportation (TDOT) em-ployees from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, Feb. 20, in the University’s Spencer Hall. The workshop, presented in conjunction with the Tennessee Na-tive Plant Society, will provide educa-tion about native roadside plants for TDOT district and regional supervi-sors and staff members.

The workshop grew out of a meet-ing about ways to maintain both highway safety and the state’s native fl ora, which took place last fall be-tween TDOT, state park offi cials and concerned citizens. Friday’s topics include the Cumberland Plateau’s biodiversity, the importance of na-tive plants to wildlife, and plant and wildfl ower identifi cation.

From www.imdb.com: Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott star in Role Models as Danny and Wheeler, two salesmen who trash a company truck on an energy drink–fueled bender. Upon their arrest, the court gives them a choice: do hard time or spend 150 hours with a mentorship program. After one day with the kids, however, jail doesn’t look half bad. Once the center’s ex-con director (Jane Lynch) gives them an ultimatum, Danny and Wheeler are forced to tailor their brand of immature wisdom to their charges, Augie (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) and Ronnie (Bobb’e J. Thompson). And if they can just make it through probation without getting thrown in jail, the world’s worst role models will prove that, sometimes, it takes a village idiot to raise a child.

Theatre/Sewanee’s production of Tennessee Williams’ play “Stairs to the Roof ” will open on Wednesday, Feb. 25, at 7:30 p.m. in the Tennes-see Williams Center. Additional performances will be on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 26–28, at 7:30 p.m., and a matinee on Sunday, March 1, at 2 p.m.

Rarely produced, written in the early 1940s and published in 2000, “Stairs to the Roof ” is one of Wil-liams’ most unusual plays. By turns fanciful, surreal, acerbic, funny and romantic, the play’s action unfolds much like a movie in a midwestern city during the Depression. With a cast of 35 and multiple locations (a shirt factory, a bar, a zoo, a carnival and a rooftop), “Stairs to the Roof ” will surprise and delight theatergoers familiar only with Williams’ better-known, more realistic plays, such as “The Glass Menagerie.”

Parker-Roberson to Wed

David Michael Parker Jr. and Melanie Bracie Roberson of Sewanee announce their upcoming wedding on April 11 at DeSoto State Park’s Howard Chapel in Mentone, Ala.

Miss Roberson is a 1998 gradu-ate of Druid Hills High School in Atlanta. She attended Eckerd College, St. Petersburg, Fla., and Berry Col-lege, Rome, Ga., majoring in Spanish and international business. She is remodeling their Sewanee home, while Mr. Parker works out of town for the F.E. Moran Alarm Company of Michigan.

The bride’s parents are Christine Marie Curtin of Atlanta and Rich-ard G. and Donna Lynn Roberson of Woodland, Ala. Her maternal grandparents are Eleanor Cataldo of Mountain Lakes, N.J., and the late Michael Cataldo. Her paternal grand-parents are the late Junior and Madell Roberson. Her step-grandparents are the late Ray W. and Margaret Smitherman.

The groom is the son of Michael and Gloria Parker of Sewanee. His paternal grandparents are Mamie Parker and the late Allen W. Parker Sr. of Lookout Mountain, Ga. His mater-nal grandparents are the late Brother Irvin “B.I.” and Pearlie Wooten.

A household shower will be hosted for the couple at the Sewanee Senior Citizens’ Center on Saturday, Feb. 28, from 1 to 3 p.m. Friends and well-wishers are invited.

Tennessee Williams’ “Stairs to the Roof” Opens Wednesday

This production is one of a series of Theatre/Sewanee events through-out the College’s Easter semester in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Tennessee Williams Center. The theme of the series is “Tennes-see Early and Late: The Unknown Tennessee Williams.” The series will continue into late April to coincide with the Tennessee Williams’ Festival, with productions of later plays, a one-man show by Williams impersonator, Jeremy Lawrence, and lectures.

“Stairs to the Roof ” is directed by Timothy Cobb and David Landon, with costumes by Ashton McRae, set design by Dan Backlund and Abram Jones, lighting by Timothy Cobb, stage management by Christie McCorkle and technical direction by John Piccard.

Reservations are recommended; call 598-3260.

By John Bordley, Sewanee Carillonneur50th Anniversary of the Dedication of the Polk Memorial Carillon: Installment #4

Planning for a grand chapel had been started by 1886. Various architects submitted plans, and various models were considered. Construction of the original All Saints’ Chapel actually began in 1905 but came to a screeching halt in 1907. In a publicity piece entitled “Designing and Building a Chapel at Sewanee,” ca. 1960, Vice-Chancellor McCrady wrote, “In the great fi nan-cial panic of 1907 the failure of the Bank of Winchester, in which the funds had been deposited, brought an end to the work, and left the stark stone walls uncovered, and the lonely cornerstone (at the northeast corner) 60 feet away, where it sat by itself for the next half century. Three years later, enough money had been raised to construct a temporary wooden east end, a roof at half the intended height, and, in contrast with these compromises, [there were] carved oak choir pews, pulpit, and lectern of the fi nest quality. With these provisions the unfi nished chapel was put to use.”

In the 1940s, Vice-Chancellor Alexander Guerry attempted to raise money to complete the chapel. However, Guerry died suddenly in the late 1940s, and it was McCrady’s arrival as the new vice-chancellor in the early 1950s that got the project moving forward again. The Shapard family of Griffi n, Georgia, donated the money for the tower, and theirs was the largest single gift toward the completion of the chapel (the total construction cost of which was $1,200,000). The tower is modeled after that of St. Mary the Virgin at Oxford, but the design evolved signifi cantly to accommodate the carillon. The War Memorial Chapel occupies the ground level of Shapard Tower; the carillon occupies the upper levels.

W. Dudley Gale III donated the second largest gift for the chapel comple-tion, $65,000 for the Polk carillon. Because of Gale’s earlier contacts with Arthur Bigelow, Bigelow was able to be involved with the plans for the construction of the tower. One early suggestion, according to McCrady, was the openings into the belfry behind the buttresses of the fourth story of the tower. Unlike the sequence of events in many bell towers, the bells could be installed as the tower was being constructed. This raised the question, “What bells?”

“A Woman Ain’t I?” at Motlow

Kathryn Woods will portray for-mer slave Sojourner Truth in “A Woman Ain’t I?” on Tuesday, Feb. 24, at 9:25 a.m. in Eoff Hall on Motlow’s Moore County campus in Tullahoma. The performance is part of the col-lege’s Black History Month activities. The public is invited at no charge; reservations are not needed.

Sojourner Truth (1797–1883) was a slave in New York for the fi rst 29 years of her life. She became an advocate for abolition and women’s rights. Woods’ presentation joins Sojourner at the end of her life, as she recalls her early days as a slave, details her relationship with God and shares poignant stories of her days walking through this land.

Woods’ credits include perfor-mances with the Wheelock Family Theatre, the People’s Theatre and the Underground Railway Theatre. She also has performed in Moscow and at the Edinburgh Arts Festival.

School Scoopworked as an assistant principal, junior high school math teacher, adult basic education teacher and real estate agent.

Banyard, with a doctorate in education administration and su-pervision from Mississippi State University, is principal of East Marion High School in Clinton, Miss., and has worked as principal of three high schools, athletic director, assistant principal, fifth-grade teacher and coach and ninth-grade biology and social studies teacher.

Roberts, with a master’s degree, major in health and physical educa-tion and minor in curriculum and instruction, from Austin Peay State University, is principal of Marshall County High School in Lewisburg, Tenn. He was principal of Franklin County High School for three years, a high school history teacher, high school principal and athletic direc-tor, assistant principal, health and physical education teacher and head football coach.

Stevens has a doctorate of edu-cation from Nova Southeastern University, Fla., and is a graduate of a two-year superintendents’ profes-sional development program from the Georgia School Superintendents Association. He is superintendent of Webster County Schools in Preston, Ga., and has worked as assistant superintendent; elementary, middle and high school principal; pre-K di-rector and teacher at the elementary, middle and high school levels. He has taught health, physical education, math, science, record-keeping and test-taking skills and has coached baseball, football and wrestling.

In other business, F.C. Schools Maintenance Supervisor Bobby Campbell reported that work on the Broadview cafeteria is proceeding well. The board agreed to pay an additional $5,500 for brick to be laid around a large freezer that is stick-ing out of the kitchen and $73,000 to move the electric line and to cover additional architect fees for plans to complete the project.

The board postponed further discussion of Huntland School’s sewer line until the March work session, when Huntland commu-nity representatives may have a plan for locating the line, a fi ltration

area and a pumping station that could benefit residents as well as the school. The board asked Acting Director of Schools Linda Foster to locate architectural fi rms interested in presenting concepts for Huntland School’s new kitchen and cafeteria and a science lab and classrooms in place of the current cafeteria.

Director Foster has written a plan for student Internet use (board policy 4.406, to fulfi ll state requirements for compliance), saying students who use school computers must follow the district’s user agreement. Students who violate the agreement by access-ing, displaying or sending offensive materials will be prohibited from using school computers.

Duck River Electric Membership Corporation will conduct energy audits of all F.C. schools except Clark Memorial and Townsend; those two will be done by Winchester Utilities. With correct audit information, the system can apply for grants to help pay electric bills.

Foster reported that two calendars were proposed, and the teachers preferred calendar B for 2009–10: the fi rst abbreviated school day for students will be Monday, Aug. 10, 2009. Fall break will be Oct. 19–23; Thanksgiving break, Nov. 25–27; Christmas break, Dec. 21–Jan. 1; spring break, April 2–9; and the last day of school, May 28.

The next board work session is Thursday, March 5; the regular board meeting is Thursday, March 12; both will be held at 6:30 p.m. in the central offi ce meeting room.

SES Friday School BeginsFriday School began at Sewanee Elementary School on Feb. 13. This four-week volunteer-driven enrichment

program offers a variety of activities to spark the students’ imaginations, strengthen their bodies and prompt them to explore. Messenger staffer April Minkler prowled the SES halls and playground and came back with the following photo review.

At the right, Samantha Dotson asks a Friday School student “What is your name?” in Russian (written phonetically on the board, along with the answer, “My name is...” )

Below, students in Jennifer Bach-man’s kitchen chemistry class made a lava lamp using vegetable oil, colored water and an Alka-seltzer tablet.

Batting practice takes total concen-tration and a lot of coordination, as dem-onstrated by this SES student during a sports class.

Excitement erupted when members of the Sewanee Volunteer Fire Department showed off the truck’s siren.

Sports Scoreboard

Sewanee swimmer Will Overton and basketball player Ben Pursell have been named co–Tigers of the Week for their play Feb. 12–15.

Overton, a freshman on the swim team from Jacksonville, Fla., was the only Sewanee male to make fi nals three times (the maximum number of individual events) at the SCAC Swimming and Diving Champion-ships in Nashville last weekend. He set a new school record in the 500 freestyle (4:46.57) on Thursday and was a key contributor to four Sewanee relay efforts.

Senior basketball player Ben Pursell helped propel Sewanee to its first SCAC home sweep since 2005 and its first three-game win streak since 2005. The Tigers topped Birmingham-Southern and Rhodes, and Pursell had 38 points and 23 rebounds on the weekend, logging a

Tigers of the Week: Will Overton and Ben Pursell

16-16 double-double on Friday and leading the Tigers with 22 points and seven rebounds on Sunday. Pursell reached the 1,000-point milestone this year and is averaging close to 10 rebounds per game—good for second in the SCAC.

Other outstanding performances:

Trey Axe, a senior on the baseball team from Austin, Texas, , was 5 for 7 with one walk, two runs scored and a double on the weekend as Sewanee dropped a pair of games to #27 Pied-mont in Demorest, Ga.

Derry Roberson, a sophomore tennis player from San Ignacio, Belize, won both of her singles and doubles matches against Millsaps on Saturday and was the only Sewanee player to win a match against Division II North Alabama on Sunday.

Sewanee hosted the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) Hunter Seat Show on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 14–15, and came out on top as the high point team both days (39 and 40 points). The reserve high point team on Saturday was Murray State (36 points) and on Sunday, MTSU and Murray State both with 29 points.

Saturday’s fi rst-place fi nishes for the Tigers were Caroline Willis in the open fences, Ellen Yungmeyer in the intermediate fences, Martha Cook in the novice fl at and Eleanor Kibler in the intermediate flat. Kibler’s per-formance qualifi ed her for the 2009 Regional Championships.

Other individual placings for the Tigers were second place for Lindsay Maxwell in the open fences and open fl at, second for Veronica Phillips in the intermediate fences, second for assistant coach and alum Carrie Barske in the alumni fences and

On day two of the IHSA Hunter Seat Competition, the Sewanee squad was high point team with 40 points. Reserve high point teams were MTSU and Murray State with 29 points. Se-wanee’s Maxwell was fi rst in the open fences and open fl at and was the high point rider for the day.

Other fi rst-place fi nishes for Se-wanee were West in the open fl at, Bar-ske in the alumni fl at, Ansley Riedel in the novice fl at and Sarah Hope de Mayo in the intermediate fl at.

Sewanee’s next competition will be at Tennessee Tech in Cookeville this weekend.

Sewanee opened its 2009 baseball season at Piedmont on Feb. 14, and the game was locked at one apiece until the fi fth inning when the host Lions jacked a pair of home runs to take the lead they would increase to 9-2 for the fi nal tally. On Feb. 15,

Piedmont Stops Sewanee TwicePiedmont posted a comeback win over Sewanee 17-8.

In the fi rst game, Franklin Pogue and Trey Axe led Sewanee’s offensive effort with a double and a single each. Pogue also got one of Sewanee’s RBIs, along with newcomer Thomas Pillow. Junior hurler Greg Bartleski took the loss on the mound for the Tigers.

In the second game, Sewanee wrapped up a weekend at No. 27 Piedmont and got out to a 2-0 lead on Rascoe Dean’s and Pogue’s runs driven in by Bryant Denison in the second inning. Piedmont rallied, though, and a two-run third followed by a six-run fourth sent the host Lions on their way to an eventual 17-8 win over Sewanee.

Sewanee is 0-2 so far. The Tigers will play at LaGrange this weekend.

Sewanee wrapped up the SCAC swimming and diving champion-ships in Nashville on Feb. 14. The men fi nished fi fth overall, and the women fi nished in the eighth spot. DePauw won the men’s competition, and Trinity was fi rst in the women’s effort. Courtland Day represented Sewanee well, taking the only Tiger fi rst-place fi nish with a win in the 200 breaststroke (2:08.74).

On Feb. 12 for the women, Alix Kloster made the fi nals and then took fourth spot in the 500 freestyle in 5:15.54, which earned her 15 points for the team. Also for the women, Se-wanee’s 400 medley relay teams took eighth and 13th of 17 teams.

For the Tiger men on Feb. 12, Will Overton placed seventh in the 500 free fi nals with a mark of 4:46.57. Loren Peterson was seventh overall in the 50 freestyle with a time of 21.58. In the three-meter diving event, Ju-lian Davis was 13th in the fi eld with a score of 158.1.

Feb. 13 highlights were Overton’s fourth-place finish in the 400 IM (4:13.70), Kloster’s fi fth place fi nish in the women’s 200 freestyle (1:58.70) and Day’s fourth place fi nish in the 100 breast (58.67). On the relay cir-cuit, Jaime de la Fuente, Ryan Holody, Overton and Peterson took fourth place in the men’s 800 freestyle relay with a mark of 7:04.66.

SUD Approves Water Plant Modifi cations and Cost Increase from page 7 . . .

According to BWSC engineer George Garden, there was a “misun-derstanding.” In January, the board learned that TDEC had rejected the fi nal design specifi cations for the new water plant submitted in December 2008 by BWSC. Citing TDEC’s reasons for rejecting the design specifi cation, Garden said, “They want you never to be in a position where you can’t produce some water”; TDEC had decided to require redundancy to allow for failure of a membrane fi lter train or for cleaning or maintenance downtime.

To provide for redundancy, BWSC suggested two alternatives to the board. Alternative one proposed installing two .5 million gpd capac-ity fi lter trains for a total rating of 1 million gpd and production of .5–.6 million gpd if one train was down; the project’s footprint would decrease slightly; the project cost would increase from $2.64 million to $3 million. Alternative two proposed returning to the original plan which called for two 1-million gpd filter trains allowing for full redundancy; a necessary 10-foot increase in the building’s width would cause a slight increase in the project’s footprint; the total cost would increase to $3.24 mil-lion. Walker stressed that with either alternative, SUD’s available raw-water supply limited its maximum produc-tion to 1 million gpd.

SUD consultant Elmo Lunn of Vet-eran Management Services pointed out that with either alternative there was backup support in the membrane filtration component, but not in other components of the system. In the event of membrane fi lter failure,

Garden projected downtime would be minimal, since the membrane manufacturer kept fi lters in stock, and shipping would take only one or two days. Garden added that he had signed letters from TDEC and the State Revolving Fund, SUD’s lend-ing agency, stating they approved of both plans.

Asked about advantages to alter-native two, Garden said that if both trains were operated simultaneously, there would be a slight energy sav-ings, but it would not offset the higher up-front cost; also, because of the extra capacity, SUD could treat reject water, with a slight gain in fi nished water. SUD manager Ben Beavers noted that, with either alternative, the new water plant would make it possible to draw more usable water from the supply lakes, which might give the district as much as 30 ad-ditional days’ supply under drought conditions.

The board voted to approve al-ternative one. The new water plant is now scheduled for completion in spring 2010.

Former SUD commissioner Lyle Brecht observed that the water plant project might qualify for a grant under President Obama’s economic stimulus package. Commissioner Rick Sommer said the board will explore the possibility.

The SUD Board of Commissioners holds its regular monthly business meeting at 5 p.m. on the fourth Tues-day of the month at the SUD offi ce on Sherwood Road. The next meeting is scheduled for Feb. 24.

Friday morning started with Blount and W. Evans coming in the prelims in the 200 freestyle and the 100 butterfly. Determined to give their all in their first state meet, Blount came into the wall and fi n-ished with a personal best time in his freestyle, placing him a quick and sweet 47th place, and W. Evans fi nished with a personal best and a 49th place.

Saturday morning preparation paid off for Nick Evans. He led the distance freestyle in the 500 with a strong showing, putting him in 39th

Blount, as he has done all year, came out all fi red up and in the 100 backstroke brought home a 74th. In the 100 breaststroke, junior N. Evans showed his experience, leading SAS and fi n-ishing 45th, W. Evans placed 46th and Huffman fi nished 80th.

With all the enthusiasm and ex-citement of her fi rst state meet, senior Obermiller energized the team with her best career performance and a new school record in the 100 back-stroke. She fi nished in 58th place in the breaststroke.

“It was a great meet,” head coach Nan Long said. “The three seniors who swam their fi nal laps in this meet will be missed, but we are learning and getting stronger!”

Nature NotesWinter Visitor and Spring Delight

This winter a few Brown Creepers have been observed by Harry and Jean Yeatman. These little brown-bodied, white-breasted, long-tailed tree climbers are associ-ated with chickadees, nuthatches and Downy Woodpeckers. Note the Brown Creeper’s slender curved bill and white band above each eye. It climbs up tree trunks by little hitches or hops in a spiral ascent until it reaches the tree top. Then it fl ies to a nearby tree base and repeats the spiral search for small insects, insect eggs and larvae below pieces of bark and in crevices.

This action of the Brown Creeper is un-like that of nuthatches, which run up and down trees and limbs. Creepers build their nests under the loose bark of dead and dying trees in our northern states. They sometimes emit a weak call in winter, but their pleasing song is reserved for breeding areas.

Daffodils began blooming in the Yeatman’s yard on Feb. 11. We try to keep a record of fi rst sightings of Daffodils and Crocuses. Did you have an earlier bloom?

South Cumberland Areas ProtectedThe Land Trust for Tennessee,

with its partner, the Conservation Fund, and assisted by the Friends of the South Cumberland, just com-pleted the protection of nearly 5,500 acres at Fiery Gizzard and Savage Gulf, both part of the South Cum-berland State Park and Natural Area. This area is visited by many of us and nearly 1 million people from around the world every year.

Protecting the view from Stone Door at Savage Gulf State Natural Area has been a priority of the State of Tennessee and the conservation community for almost 30 years—and now it is a reality. Nearly 3,100 acres, including highly threatened bluff property, was purchased for eventual transfer to the state of Tennessee.

In addition, nearly 2,400 acres along the Fiery Gizzard trail system and its associated viewshed are now protected; a large piece is also protected with a conservation ease-ment donated to the Land Trust for Tennessee.

“We thank you for your support of the Land Trust, and the chance it gives to us to insure that future gen-erations will enjoy the same beauty and natural resources of the South Cumberlands that we enjoy today,” said Jeanie Nelson of the Land Trust for Tennessee.

The Episcopal Missionary Church

The British love their heritage, Their pomp and pageantry; And nothing suits them better than An anniversary—An excuse for a toast and a fl ag on a pole, Or a plaque, or to plant a tree. Every day of the year belongs to a saintOr a much more colorful sinner: Someone died or someone was born King Alfred burnt the dinner, Or something remarkable happened, or The West Indies brought on a spinner. But the dullest day in all the year Is the nineteenth of February; For nothing of note took place today As far as I can see, And it’s time we did something about it And gave it identity. . . . But how to commemorate such a great day?Have a party? Or write an encomium?Monks can stay in and celibate Round the monastery harmonium; I suggest we observe—at 11 o’clock—Two minutes’ pandemonium.
