Six years ago this column be-gan to support the large number of reservists called up for active duty to serve in the war in Iraq. Since then, the troubles in the Middle East and Afghanistan have stretched our military to its limits. This is a reminder that someone else is standing guard and facing fi re for us. Please keep the follow-ing individuals, their families and all those who fi ght for freedom in your prayers:

The end of the school term is in sight, and with it the Messenger will take a break. We will publish through May 21, then take a two-week break to gear up for summer activities. We will return to the offi ce on June 5 and will be back in print on June 11.

During the summer a number of clubs do not meet, and churches often change their schedules. Please let us know by phone or e-mail before 5 p.m. on Monday, May 18, if your or-ganization’s schedule will differ from the one we publish regularly in our Community Calendar. Thanks.

On April 17, at St. Mark’s Commu-nity Center, approximately 30 people attended a town meeting sponsored by the University trustees’ Commu-nity Relations Committee. Following the meeting, a picnic supper was served outside.

The committee chair, trustee Alex-ander Moseley of Mobile, Ala., called the meeting to order, and the Rev. Hugh Jones, Diocese of East Tennes-see, offered an opening prayer.

The University’s chief financial officer, Jerry Forster, reported on emergency services on the Mountain. A subcommittee of the Franklin County Commission decided that Sewanee Emergency Medical Service, assisted by Franklin EMS, a division of Grundy EMS, will continue to be first responders for Sewanee and surrounding areas on the Mountain. Rural/Metro of Tennessee ambulance service will serve Winchester and be used as a backup when Sewanee EMS or Franklin EMS requests its assistance. Forster praised Sewanee EMS Director Dennis Jones for his and his team’s excellent service to the community. The Sewanee EMS and Franklin EMS ambulances, parked on the campus, are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Forster gave a report from Emer-ald-Hodgson Hospital Administra-tor Ralph Underwood. In 2008 the volume of inpatient services slowed somewhat, but outpatient services increased. The emergency room and outpatient physical therapy and other services were in great demand. Forster, chairman of the EHH board, said LifePoint Hospitals Inc. contin-ues to be committed to overseeing EHH. Diane Petrilla, M.D., of Sewanee Family Practice, is retiring. David Martin, D.O., of McKenzie, Tenn., will take over Dr. Petrilla’s list of patients this August.

Stephen Burnett, president of the Sewanee Leaseholders’ Association, thanked Louise Irwin for reactivat-ing the dormant organization. The association, with 115 dues-paying members, has elected officers and

board members. The SLA’s mission is to promote responsible relations with the University. The association aims to work with the Community Coun-cil and with the University’s Lease Committee to resolve problems and keep lines of communication open. Burnett studied the services pro-vided to leaseholders by the Sewanee police and fi re departments and the Sewanee EMS, concluding that the University provides high-quality services at reasonable rates.

Forster reported that house sales on the Domain went down from 24 houses sold in 2006–07 to 16 in 2008; so far in 2009, six houses have been sold. The number of University employees who lived on the Domain eight years ago was 221; the number is now 222. Eight years ago 151 non-employees lived on the Domain, com-pared with 206 today. The University would like more of its professors and staff members to live in Sewanee.

Domain Manager Richard Win-slow reported that Wireless Proper-ties spent $200,000 to build a cell phone tower next to the conve-nience/recycling center two years ago and paid the state $20,000 for an environmental test. The site was declared clean with no restrictions on its use. Neither Verizon nor AT&T have placed equipment on the tower. Winslow said his frequent conversa-tions with representatives of both companies are not making headway. He asked Sewanee residents to con-tact leaders in state government and large businesses, asking their help to persuade either or both cell phone providers to serve Sewanee and the Mountain community.

Winslow said that the Sewanee Utility District is still under a mora-torium imposed by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation in 2006 prohibiting any new sewer connections. According to SUD Manager Ben Beavers, the district’s water supply is four months ahead of need. SUD is preparing to

Oilman, hedge fund founder and political activist T. Boone Pickens nearly fi lled Guerry Auditorium for his April 15 presentation of his “Pick-ens Plan” to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign petroleum imports and jump-start investment in alternative energy sources.

The event, sponsored by the Uni-versity’s Babson Center for Global Commerce, was one of scores of simi-lar presentations the billionaire busi-nessman has been making across the country to promote his “Pickens Plan” to use natural gas and wind power to replace much of the petroleum now used in transportation. Pickens launched the effort in mid-2008 in an effort to make energy policy a central issue in the presidential election.

Pickens, 80, told the audience that if current trends continue, foreign oil imports will cost $2 trillion a year by 2119. He said the long-term failure to establish an energy policy to cut the country’s growing addiction to petroleum imports made the United States “look stupid.”

When Pickens launched his plan last year, oil was selling at $150 a bar-rel and has fallen to about $50 today, but Pickens predicted that crude oil will be priced at $75 a barrel before

the end of the year and could reach $300 a barrel in 10 years, barring dramatic changes in energy policy. He said these fi gures did not include the indirect costs of military expenses required to assure U.S. access to foreign oil.

Central to Pickens’ plan is the wide-spread conversion of automobiles and trucks from gasoline and diesel fuels to natural gas and increasing use of wind energy. Recent developments in gas drilling technology have vastly increased U.S. gas reserves. “We’ve got more natural gas than we know what to do with,” he said.

CAC to Celebrate 35 Years Sunday

The Community Action Com-mittee (CAC) will celebrate its 35th anniversary, beginning at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 3, in Otey par-ish hall. Clients, partner churches and all community members are invited to attend.

There will be a casual lunch, a brief program and opportunities for people to share their stories of CAC. Reservations are not neces-sary; the event is free and open to all. Participants are encouraged to bring 35 items to celebrate this milestone. Some ideas include 35 cans of green beans, 35 dollars, 35 packages of spaghetti, 35 juice boxes or 35 boxes of cereal. Use your imagination!

If you plan to attend, and if you want to help with some aspect of the event (getting food from Sec-ond Harvest, grocery packing, meal preparation, technical support or publicity), there is a place for you. Contact Laura Willis, CAC director, at 598-5927, or e-mail <[email protected]>.

CAC is an outreach ministry serving the greater Sewanee com-munity based at Otey Memorial Parish on University Avenue.

Senior Center Needs Help

The Sewanee Senior Citizens’ Center needs regular and substitute volunteers to help prepare lunch, especially on Tuesdays and Fridays. If you can spare a little time to lend a hand, please call the center, 598-0771, between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Oilman Pickens Talks Energy

Earlier in the day, Pickens spoke to University students in an environ-mental studies class. He told them reliance on cheap foreign oil was a trap, and “we’ve gone further into the trap than anybody would ever have believed the United States would have done to ourselves.” He said that no matter the cost of a new energy policy, “our problem is so enormous that anything we do will be cheap” in comparison to continuing the coun-try’s increasing reliance on petroleum imports.

In 1956, Pickens founded Mesa Petroleum, which became one of the largest U.S. independent oil explora-tion and production companies. In the 1980s he sought unsuccessfully to take over several major energy com-panies and was branded a corporate raider. He later founded BP Capital Management. In 2004, he provided much of the funding for Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group that chal-lenged Democratic Party presidential candidate John Kerry’s Vietnam War record.

Pickens said his current campaign is not partisan, and he said he met with then-candidate Barak Obama in 2008. Obama “listened very closely” to his energy proposals.

Th e Power of Presence: Spiritual Practice as the Art of Homecoming

Kurt Hoelting, M.Div.6 p.m. Fri, May 1—11 a.m. Sun, May 3

In 2008, Kurt Hoelting made a vow to go car-free for a full year, and to stay within a 60-mile radius of his home in Puget Sound. He did this both as a conscious re-sponse to climate change and as a renewed declaration of allegiance to his place of birth. His pilgrimage to the heart of home changed his life. Drawing upon 25 years of Zen practice and 15 years of guiding contemplative wilderness retreats, Kurt will lead an exploration of con-templative practice as a resource for both personal and ecological healing in a deeply wounded world.

It’s hard to believe that a year has passed since the Land Trust for Tennessee and the University of the South protected 3,000 acres around Lost Cove. Since then, the Land Trust has been trying to balance protection of working farms and forests with protection of wildlife habitats and recreational needs of humans.

Many players and pieces have come together to connect public lands in the Sewanee area into a mosaic of intact forestlands. In recent months the Land Trust has worked with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) to nearly triple the size of Carter State Natural Area. More than 12,000 hikers visited this Class II state natural area in 2008, according to TDEC. The Land Trust worked with the Tennessee Division of Forestry to add more than 800 acres of working forest to Franklin State Forest.

The Land Trust has made con-servation agreements with owners of more than 300 acres of working farms in Winchester and Decherd. These farms contain high concentra-tions of prime agricultural soils and numerous streams and wetlands that protect water quality downstream in Tims Ford Lake.

A conservation agreement with the Land Trust allows a landowner to maintain private ownership, pass it on to heirs, continue traditional land uses like farming, forestry and hunting and possibly realize sig-nifi cant federal charitable income tax

Land Trust Balances Protection of Farms and Forests with Protection of

Habitat and Recreational Needsbenefi ts. In 2008 Congress enacted major changes to federal income tax incentives for conservation agree-ment donations. However, the law stipulates that the changes will expire on Dec. 31, 2009. The changes did the following:

• Raised the deduction a land-owner can take for donating a con-servation agreement from 30 percent of his/her income in any year to 50 percent;

• Allowed qualifying farmers and farm corporations to deduct up to 100 percent of their adjusted gross income; and

• Increased the number of years over which any donor can take those deductions from six to 16 years, beginning the year the donation is made.

To date, the Land Trust has pro-tected approximately 11,700 acres within the South Cumberland Proj-ect Area and formed partnerships with the Conservation Fund and the Friends of the South Cumberland State Recreation Area.

The Land Trust for Tennessee is a private, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization, founded in 1999. Its mission is to preserve the unique character of Tennessee’s natural and historic landscapes and sites for future generations. The Land Trust has protected more than 41,000 acres, ranging from 1 acre to 4,500 acres, in 37 counties across Tennes-see. See www.landtrusttn.org.

Judy Shetters, formerly of Se-wanee and Cowan, celebrated her 100th birthday in Yulee, Fla., on Feb. 28. Two hundred people attended a party organized by her children in the Chem Cell Club on Amelia Island, Fla. Guests came from California, Texas, South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee. Betty Rollins of Midway attended the birthday party. She and Sister Lucy Shetters are cousins; their great-uncle was Mrs. Shetters’ husband, R.T.

Their daughter Dean Tyre baked a 100-layer cake, and guests signed cards stamped with “100” and hung them on a bright pink tree.

Family and friends made up the 200 guests who celebrated Judy Shetter’s 100th birthday in Yulee, Fla. She is pictured above with her children.

Centenarian Judy Shetters Celebrates Birthday with Family and Friends

Mrs. Shetters has outlived seven of her 11 children and several grand-children. Her surviving children are Bonnie Wise of Palm Coast, Fla.; Dean Tyre of Jesup, Ga.; Hutch Shetters of Waycross, Ga.; and Tiny Kirkus of Yu-lee. Her husband of almost 60 years, R.T. Shetters, died in 1982.

Mrs. Shetters, who lived by herself until fi ve years ago, displayed a sharp memory when she greeted guests at her birthday bash. “It was the fi rst time we had all been together in a long time,” said her daughter Bonnie. “There were so many guests that she didn’t get to open her presents until the next morning.”

MTEC, created by a part-nership between Middle Tennessee State University and Motlow State Community College, will house class-rooms as well as administrative and advising offi ces for both institutions to offer assistance and education for their students. The center is located in the former Medical Arts Building at 841 Union St. in Shelbyville.

“MTSU and Motlow both have long histories of working to meet the educational needs for students from this region,” said Bedford County Mayor Eugene Ray. “Many of the stu-dents who take certifi cate programs or associate-degree programs from Motlow wish to continue their educa-tion at MTSU, so the establishment of the Middle Tennessee Education Center will enhance this effort and will be a great benefi t to the citizens of Bedford and the surrounding counties.”

For more information on MTEC or to schedule an appointment, please call (931) 685-4444. Additional in-formation and updates will be posted on the website at <www.mteducationcenter.com>.

April 1 marked one year to Census Day, and the Census Bureau is set to launch its fi rst major on-the-ground operation in Tennessee to prepare for the nationwide count in spring 2010. To mark the date, census supporters and stakeholders across the state have scheduled events, including proclamation signings and news con-ferences, designed to tell the people of the Volunteer State the 2010 census is coming.

April 1, 2010, is Census Day, the reference date for collecting census information.

Beginning April 13, more than 3,000 census workers began going block-by-block across Tennessee to develop a correct and complete address list. This operation will continue through mid-summer. The updated address list will be used to deliver 2010 census questionnaires next March. More than 140,000 ad-dress listers will knock on doors across America in the address can-vassing operation.

“Address canvassing marks when the census jumps from the page to the pavement,” said William W. Hatcher, regional director at the Charlotte Re-gional Census Center, which supports 2010 census operations in Tennessee, the Carolinas, Kentucky and Virginia. “We’ve been planning this constitu-tionally mandated counting for years. Now the census will be visible.”

Hatcher emphasized the address list developed in 2009 is the corner-stone of a good census in 2010, and that translates into power and money for Tennessee. Census results are used to determine the number of congres-sional seats for each state, the shape of legislative and local government districts, and how $300 billion in federal funds is distributed annually to communities across America.

3,000 Address Listers Hit Streets Across Tennessee for 2010 Census

Address listers will use handheld computers that capture GPS infor-mation as they comb the streets and knock on doors to verify an address and inquire about additional living quarters on the premises.

Census workers also can be identi-fi ed by their offi cial U.S. Census Bu-reau badge or by calling a local census offi ce. Census workers never ask for bank or social security information. All census employees take an oath of confi dentiality and face a fi ne of up to $250,000 and fi ve years in prison for violating that oath.

The Census Bureau has opened three local census offi ces in Tennessee to support the address canvassing. The offices are in Memphis (901) 251-4390, Nashville (615) 234-5740 and Knoxville (865) 291-5400. Later this year, seven more local census offi ces will open in the state to sup-port peak census activities in 2010. Address canvassing will be conducted out of 151 local census offi ces across the United States.

The Sewanee Woman’s Club met on April 13 at noon in the Otey parish hall. The year’s program theme has been “Taking Care,” and this program, “Taking Care of Our Finances,” was ably addressed by William F. Win-chester III, co-owner and managing partner of Lawson Winchester Wealth Management, with offi ces in several locations.

Winchester studied at UT Knox-ville, and got his master’s degree at the University of Wales (Swansea). He confi rmed that we are in a recession, with the stock market off about 40 percent; he also acknowledged that he

Regarding preventing personal fi -nancial loss, he advised that everyone should know what assets they have, know where they are, and make sure a trusted other person has access to it. He suggested a “little red book” with account numbers, phone numbers, addresses, e-mails and names of advisors be kept in a safe place.

He also strongly advised people to have a written fi nancial plan regard-ing use of assets and drawing income

“Dislocation: Sewanee Senior

Art Majors 2009”On view through May 9 in the Uni-

versity Art Gallery is “dislocation,” a selection of work by Sewanee’s senior art majors.

The exhibition features six gradu-ating art majors: Claiborne Buck-ingham, Tyler Cooney, Lo DiFiore, Elizabeth Frierson, Robert Parker and Lane Turbeville. Artists DiFiore and Turbeville will give artists’ talks at the reception. The title “disloca-tion” refers to the fact that each artist deals with the visual removal or transformation of context in his or her work. The act of removing or re-appropriating context becomes a means for close examination of the forms or environment presented in the artwork, forcing a reappraisal of the given reality.

The University Art Gallery is located on Georgia Avenue. Hours are 10 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 12–4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Herbarium Walks SaturdayHall across from the duPont Library. The walk will last about one hour and will be canceled in case of rain or high winds.

TintinnabulationBy John Bordley, Sewanee Carillonneur

Commencement Week 1959: May 31 to June 8.On May 31, 1959, there was a concert played by Albert Bonholzer (this

time listed as University Carilloneur), and students Clayton Farnham, Waring McCrady, David Elphee, Fred Jones, Charles Kelly and David Littler. The program noted that the day was the 150th anniversary of the death of Franz Joseph Haydn, composer of “Austria,” the University Hymn.

On Thursday, June 4, Staf Nees presented a carillon concert. The pro-gram notes that, “When (Jef) Denyn founded the International Carillon School at Mechelen, Staf Nees, together with Kamiel Lefevere (Carillon-neur at New York’s Riverside Church) were its fi rst pupils and graduates.” Nees was fi rst Denyn’s assistant, and then in 1944 he became the school’s director. “He became City Carillonneur of Mechelen in 1932, the most distinguished carillon post in Europe. His playing, not only in Mechelen, but on all the important carillons in Belgium, Holland, England, France, Germany and Denmark, soon brought him eminence as the outstanding exponent in Europe of carillon art, and recognition as a virtuoso and interpretive artist of the fi rst rank.”

The Nees program consisted of an Improvisation; three pieces by Nees (Preludim in C for Carillon [dedicated to Kamiel Lefevere], “Dance of the Bells,” and Fantasie No. 1 [dedicated to Jef Denyn]; two Bergerettes from the Weckerlin Collection (Non, je n’irai plus au bois and Que ne suis-je la fougere); two pieces by and in memory of Jev Van Hof, professor of composition at the Carillon School in Mechelin, who had died on April 24 (Intermezo, Menuet, and Sonata); Intermezzo from “Cavalleria Rusticana” by Mascagni and “Pizzicati” (from Sylvia) by Delibes; “Tango” by Albeniz; “Santa Lucia,” a Napolitan Folksong, and “O Sole Mio” by De Capua; and “Clair de Lune” for Carillon by F. Marriott. Staf Nees wrote a nice note in the Red Book which was translated by someone, “It was a rare pleasure for me to play the lovely Paccard carillon of the University at Sewanee. The beautiful tower, the clean sounding bells, as well as the exemplary appointments, make the playing of this instrument a treasure for the carillonneur.” “Van ganser harte profi ciat!” (congratulations). Nees signed the record book and one week later, after returning to Belgium, signed and dated a copy of the program, which is in the record book.

On Friday, June 5, the altar and reredos were dedicated. On Sunday, June 7, the baccalaureate service marked the re-opening of All Saints’ Chapel. At the service, the narthex and Shapard Tower were dedicated.

Please plan to attend the recreation of Nees’ anniversary program on Thursday, May 7, at 10:30 a.m., during Commencement Activities 2009. Refreshments will be served.

Jill Carpenter and Susan Church will be the featured artists in She-nanigans Gallery for the month of May. Both Carpenter, who specializes in quilting, and Church, who does woodwork, are new to the gallery. A reception to welcome them will be held Sunday, May 3, from 3 to 5 p.m. at Shenanigans.

Carpenter, a long-time Sewanee resident, has been a teacher, book-seller and writer. Recently she has begun once more to sew and quilt, skills she learned from her mother and grandmother. Unlike earlier gen-erations, Carpenter does not have a quilting bee to get her quilts “off.” She machine-quilts smaller patchwork pieces and often relies on Andrea Hill of Skyline, Ala., to machine-quilt her large pieces with a special long-arm sewing machine. Carpenter’s “Double Helix” and “Sunrays” are among the patchwork pieces that will be dis-played in the gallery.

Church, with her husband, Tom, used to own and run the Belvidere Market in Belvidere, Tenn. For the past several years she and Tom have been doing woodwork. Susan special-

Foundational skills will be taught: how to start and tend a coal forge, basic hammer control and age-old forging techniques for shaping and forming hot steel. Students will cre-ate small utilitarian items during the two-day class. No experience is necessary, just the desire to try black-smithing. Students should expect to complete a minimum of two or more projects during class. All materials and tools are provided. Additional in-formation on local forges, blacksmith associations and other resources will be discussed.

Requirements are to wear long pants with full shoes (no tennis shoes or open-toed shoes) and a cotton shirt with long sleeves (synthetic materials will melt and are danger-ous when sparks fly). If you have your own safety glasses, please bring them; instructors will also provide them. The class fee of $40 includes materials.

Gilies, a blacksmith for over 17 years, is past president of the Appa-lachian Area Chapter of Blacksmiths (AACB) and a member of the Artistic Blacksmiths Association of North America. He owns the Lynchburg forge and has taken several classes at John C. Campbell Folk School.

Gould, a blacksmith for eight years and a member of AACB, is news editor for the Lynchburg forge and operates “The Irondovetail” as a side business. He has taken several blacksmithing classes and enjoys making 18th-century lighting and hearthware. He also does custom work, such as gaz-ing ball stands, large yard art, coffee tables, wine racks, puzzles and other fun things.

Frühlingsfest (Spring Fest), a festi-val with competitions for high school German language students, was held at Lee University in Cleveland, Tenn., on April 17 and 18. Franklin County High School students at-tending the event were Troy Allison, Hillary Amacher, Jesse Brandon, Brian Campbell, Ashley Cardenal, Amy Cragar, Kristal Foster, Tristan Williams and Blake Young.

They were accompanied by their teacher Marilyn Davidheiser, visiting students from Germany Kassandra Pape and Svenja Welskop, and chap-erones Wendy and Rodney Amacher and Pam and Bill Elliott.

All nine students sang a Swiss folk song a cappella and enchanted the audience with their fi nger-snapping beat. Cardenal wrote the script for a fairy tale, and Williams stole the show with his humorous portrayal of the prince.

First place in folk dance went to Campbell, Cragar, Young and Svenja Welskop, who wore Bavarian-style attire. The fellows performed a traditional Bavarian thigh-foot slapping “Schuhplattler,” and the couples walzed in “Fenster” (window) formation.

Davidheiser was not surprised that the nine-student FCHS team earned honorable mention in the con-versation competition. Each student

FCHS German Students SweepSpring Fest Competitions

had to speak with three interviewers to earn points for speaking ability. Cardenal and Foster had the highest personal scores in that event.

For the fi rst time ever, the FCHS team won the Goethe Bowl trophy. Goethe Bowl is a college bowl event based on knowledge of Germany and is one of the most prestigious awards of the Frühlingsfest. On the winning team were Cardenal, Williams and Allison.

Allison was also awarded two third-place ribbons for listening comprehension and for dictation. Amacher won second-place ribbons in listening comprehension and for baking Spitzbuben. Cardenal placed second in listening comprehension and won second place for baking Easter crown bread.

Brandon’s painting of a Bavarian girl won a second-place ribbon. Wil-liams’ pencil drawing of Germany’s great writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe so impressed Professor Jim Davidheiser that he has asked to use it in his university class on Goethe. Cardenal recited two of Goethe’s poems beautifully.

In the challenging vocabulary bee, Foster earned a second-place ribbon and Young, an honorable mention. In the skit Young played the witch/beggar and Foster, the heroine.

Sophia Hartman and Conner Durm, second-grade students at Sewanee Elementary School, were winners in the countywide Earthwise Poster Contest. They each won a $5 cash prize. The theme of the contest was “Cleaning Up for Company.” The Earthwise program promotes the three r’s of environmental awareness: recycle, reuse and reduce.

build a new water treatment plant and is working with other utilities for a more regional approach to water provision, as well as with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on long-range plans for water supplies. All nearby utility districts are working cooperatively except for the Grundy utility district; its board is advocating bringing water in from the Tennessee River. SUD is not favorably disposed to this idea, as Sewanee’s lakes are providing clean water. For SUD’s response to Grundy’s proposal, see www.sewaneeutility.org.

Winslow said, “We have excellent leadership in SUD chairman Doug Cameron and in SUD manager Ben Beavers.” In the meeting Cameron said the district hopes to receive some federal recovery funding to help pay for the new water plant. A member of the audience asked about the beaver population. Cameron said, “We have no beavers on our property. Between Lakes Jackson and Dimmick, the beavers built a dam, backing up earth to the manmade dam, so SUD helped tear up the beavers’ dam. The Univer-sity’s beavers are impinging on our dam.” Cameron also said that SUD is considering recycling wastewater through the new water plant using an ultraviolet purification system instead of chlorination.

The Lost Cove survey has been completed, thanks to Elizabeth Mot-low’s generous cooperation, said Winslow. The University has three new conservation easements. On the cove’s south side, 800 or so acres of land have been acquired by the state, so the land is well protected. A trail system is being designed, and natural resources graduates are do-ing a research report on Lost Cove. Winslow and his student assistants will be going after the cove’s invasive species.

Folks at Home Director Kathleen O’Donohue said the program will be launched as soon as services are orga-nized properly. Many more volunteers are needed to provide transportation, shopping assistance, minor home re-pairs, yard work and help in people’s

homes. Volunteers may bank credits toward their receipt of services in the future. O’Donohue attended a confer-ence in Oakland, Calif., for aging in place (AIP) providers. There are 32 AIP villages in the United States. The goal of Sewanee’s program is to es-tablish a nonprofi t with membership fees and to get some grants to help fund implementation. The services will be offered to people of all ages who reside in the 598 telephone prefi x area on top of the Mountain.

Citizens’ concerns were the fol-lowing:

1. Some roads, especially Hall Street, are in bad repair. Could Geor-gia Avenue be extended to the high-way to relieve heavy traffi c on Finney Lane?

2. Three families in the neighbor-hood of St. Mark’s Community Center are paying all the center’s utility bills. Could the University assume these bills?

3. As the Tennessee River is pol-luted with poisons from coal runoff and medications in human waste, it is hoped that SUD will stand fi rmly against bringing the river’s water to the Mountain; it would pollute the area’s watershed and get into Sewanee’s lakes and streams.

4. Many parts of the Jump-Off and Sherwood Road areas are in the Domain. It would be environmentally responsible and useful to residents to fi nd alternatives to cars for travel to and from Sewanee. Could more links to the Mountain Goat Trail be created? Could we explore the pos-sibility of getting an electric bus or van (like those in Chattanooga) for public transport along Highways 56 and 156?

Sports Scoreboard

On April 18, Sewanee Elementary School hosted its 10th annual Tiger Golf Tourney. The weather was great as a full fi eld of golf enthusiasts head-ed out to the links at the Sewanee Golf Club. Three tied with 12 under par in the championship fl ight.

In a scorecard playoff, the team of Ovie Sisk, Jerry Garner and Dustin Nash came in fi rst; Alan Hill, Jody Bray and Marcus Blackburn came in second; and the local family of Fred Ladd, Doreen Ladd and Gary Ladd came in third. There were a total of four fl ights, with fi ve winners in each fl ight.

A big thank you goes out to the numerous corporate sponsors from the valley to the plateau, SES’s fantas-tic parents and the many players who made the day a huge success. Though all funds are not in yet, SES Principal

Winning golfers of the SES Golf Tourney (l–r) are Jerry Garner, Ovie Sisk and Dustin Nash.

SES Tiger Golf Tourney a Huge SuccessMike Maxon estimates that the event raised $3,400 for the school.

Tiger GolfThe Sewanee men’s and women’s

golf teams played in Tunica, Miss., last weekend at the 2009 SCAC golf championships, and after all three rounds, the Sewanee men fi nished in seventh place, topping Hendrix and Millsaps, while the Sewanee women were eighth.

Sewanee’s Brittany McCall led the women with a 34th-place fi nish and rounds of 117, 111 and 113. Southwestern won the women’s team competition, followed by DePauw.

For the men, Neil Dyer shot a team-low round of 74 on Sunday to fi nish at 22nd. Oglethorpe won the men’s championship, followed by Rhodes in second.

The 2009 Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) National Horse Show was held at the Tennes-see Miller Coliseum in Murfreesboro last weekend, and Sewanee’s Whitney Myers competed in the individual Walk-Trot-Canter on Thursday af-ternoon and, while she gave a good effort, there were some inconsisten-cies in the ride and she did not place in the ribbons.

Also at the event, Sewanee fresh-man Sarah Long won the fi rst-ever Jon Conyers Memorial Scholarship. Conyers, a close friend of Sewanee equestrian coach Megan Taylor, passed away in November 2008 and the IHSA Board of Directors decided to name a scholarship in his honor. Sarah was nominated for consider-ation by Coach Taylor and was chosen from a group of nominees by the Conyers Memorial Scholarship Com-mittee, of which Taylor is the chair.

In addition to a pewter trophy, Long was awarded $1,000 from the Intercollegiate Equestrian Founda-tion. “I nominated Sarah for this award because she is a hard-working, dedicated young horsewoman, who not only understands the long hours that it take to be around horses, but she does so without complaint,” added Taylor.

Coach Taylor was honored with the national Sportsmanship Award for a Coach on Saturday, also. Riders

Sewanee Men’s Lacrosse Tops BSC and Hendrix, Falls

to ColoradoSewanee traveled to Birmingham

to play the Birmingham-Southern College (BSC) men’s lacrosse team on April 22 and topped the host Panthers 11-6. On April 25, Sewanee beat Hen-drix 10-9, and on April 26, Sewanee fell to Colorado College 22-4.

Against BSC, Will Finney led Se-wanee with four goals and an assist. Neat Clark scored three goals, and Jack Thomasson contributed two. Will Grimes scored one goal and as-sisted on three more. Spencer Graves logged 11 saves in goal in the winning Tiger effort.

On April 25, Sewanee and Hendrix faced off in a match-up in Colorado Springs. Sewanee edged out the War-riors 10-9 after leading 5-3 at the half. A four-goal fourth quarter nearly gave Hendrix enough to even the score, but a fi fth Hendrix fourth-quarter goal was called back, giving Sewanee the one-goal edge it needed for the win. Clark led Sewanee with fi ve goals; Grimes scored two goals. Finney logged three assists and chipped in a goal of his own.

Sewanee wrapped up a road week-end and its 2009 season on April 26 at Colorado College and fell 22-4 after trailing 12-2 at the half.

Thomasson led Sewanee with two goals. Sewanee had 28 saves in goal, compared with three for CC.

Sewanee finishes its season at 4-10. Sewanee and Colorado College will face off again next year, as the Southern Collegiate Athletic Confer-ence (SCAC) will begin sponsoring men’s lacrosse as a championship sport in 2010.

Sewanee sprinter Chalankis Brown has been named Tiger of the Week for his performance the weekend of April 24–26.

Brown, a sophomore from Mill-brook, Ala., broke the Sewanee school record and the all-time Southern Col-legiate Athletic Conference (SCAC)

Women’s Lacrosse Report

Sewanee hosted Christopher New-port in women’s lacrosse at Puett Field in Sewanee and after leading early, fell to the visiting Captains 19-17.

Megan Velie, Page Carpenter and Catherine Sanders led Sewanee’s scoring effort with three goals each. Amy Nusbaum had 11 saves in goal for the Tigers. Sewanee closes its 2009 season at 8-5.

Equestrian Nationals: Long andCoach Taylor Honored

competing at the 2009 IHSA National Horse Show were allowed to vote for Sportsmanship Awards for a Volun-teer, a Rider and a Coach. “What an honor it was to win this award. I was completely shocked when my name was announced and it was nice to be recognized,” says Taylor.

Sewanee provided eight horses for this year’s National Horse Show. Four of the horses, Nantucket, Spot-tie, Mystical Tale and Churchill, are owned by the University. Three of the four remaining horses were owned by Sewanee students: Altimo (Sara Luce), Footing (Caroline Willis) and Tornado (Lindsay Maxwell). The fi nal horse was Presto, owned by Sewanee alumna Sarah Howell Shamess. “Al-most all of our horses were used at this year’s national show. We were just as proud when one of our horses placed in a class as we would have been if it was one of our riders,” says Coach Taylor.

In addition to providing horses, the Sewanee equestrian team mem-bers who volunteered to help at the show assisted in setting up the jump course Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and assisted Taylor in running the silent auction. “I cannot thank enough the horses’ owners and the Sewanee students who worked 14-hour days at the show to help make this happen,” concluded Taylor.

record in the 100-meter dash at the 2009 SCAC Track and Field Champi-onships last weekend, with a time of 10.75. His time puts him in the top 15 Division III performances so far this year and was a provisional national qualifying time. Along with being conference champion in the 100, Brown was the 200-meter champion and was part of the All-SCAC third place 4x100 relay team.

Brown is also a standout defensive back on the Sewanee football team who has been named All-SCAC for the last two years and led the league in 2008 with seven interceptions. He had 57 tackles this year. In high school, Brown excelled in football and baseball. He had never run track until joining the Tiger squad in the spring of 2008.

SAS scored four more runs in the fourth inning, as Howick scored on an RBI double by Morris. Mooney

Nature NotesPlant Succession on Sandstone

Sandstone outcrops are common in Sewanee, according to naturalist Harry Yeatman. Following removal of the soil by erosion, burns and human action, plants invade the bare rocks in a succession of species adapted to survive in a series of environmental changes. (Retired pro-fessor George Ramseur is an expert on plant succession on exposed sandstone.)

The fi rst plants to grow on the outcrops are usually black moss (Grimmia), which turns green when wet, and lichens, especially Par-melia. These “pioneers” are attached to the rock surface and trap rain, dust and loose sand. This substrate enables “reindeer moss” (Cladonia lichens) and hairy cup moss (Polytrichum) to survive and spread over some of the rock.

These mosses and lichens build up more soil that enables grasses, weeds and some conspicuous fl owers to survive and spread. Cracks

in the rock hold m o i s t u r e a n d speed up the pro-cess of covering the exposed rock.

B e h i n d t h e University’s Can-non residence hall is a good place to see the early stag-es of plant succes-sion, but be careful not to get stuck by the Opuntia cac-tus. Succession will slowly go on to broomstraw ( Androp ogon ) , bushes, shrubs, then cedars, pines, oaks, hickories, sourwoods, dog-woods, locusts and so on.

Now some of the flowers fol-lowing the mosses and lichens are in bloom. Look for

them in partly covered sandstone. The tiny red-stemmed Diamorpha smallii (top photo) cover some of the rock area and are showing tiny white flowers. The taller, fine-stemmed Arenaria globra (bottom photo) show larger white blooms with fi ve petals. In June the beautiful pinkish-purple Talinum mengesii fl owers, a wild portulaca, may make an appearance.

This article is only a starter for the study of plant succession. See the University’s Herbarium staff and books in the library on plant taxonomy and ecology for more information.

The community is invited to view a flock of bird skeletons that has settled in the display cabinet at the entrance to Spencer Hall on the University campus (the smaller entrance that leads directly north to the Alumni House).

These skeletons were prepared this semester by students in David Haskell’s Ornithology class. Each skel-eton was prepared from a bird that had died by hitting a window or a car.

The Franklin County Humane Society’s Animal Harbor offers these two delightful pets for adoption.

Little Tristan is an adorable Terrier mix pup who will win your heart. The perfect size for a lap dog, he also enjoys romping in the grass with his sister. Tristan is up to date on shots and neutered.

Pets of the Week: Meet Tristan & KaiKai is a handsome Tabby kitten,

a real cuddle bug who will amuse you when he plays with his toys. Kai is negative for FeLV and FIV, house-trained, up to date on shots and neutered.

Call Animal Harbor at 962-4472 for information and check out <www.fchumane.petfi nder.com>.

Bird Skeletons DisplayedThe birds were skinned, dissected, fleshed, then processed through a colony of flesh-eating dermestid beetles. Finally, the skeletons were cleaned with hydrogen peroxide and reassembled using wire and glue.

The display includes owls, hawks, woodpeckers, grebes, songbirds, and ducks. These “bare bones birds” reveal the hidden beauty and diver-sity of avian architecture. Memento mori.

from them. He recommended check-ing once a month or quarter on the status of assets to see what has changed.

He said we should educate our-selves on the fi nancial situation by reading magazines such as Fortune and Kiplinger’s, judicious use of TV sources, or a trusted financial advisor.

To prevent theft, Winchester ad-vised getting a post offi ce box, since thieves often cruise neighborhoods to take benefit or social security checks. He also advises his clients to ask themselves two questions regarding their involvement in the stock market: 1) What is my getting-out point? and (2) What is my risk tolerance?

He recommends keeping emer-gency funds in an interest-bearing checking or savings account. He also recommended not putting one’s children on one’s checking account as co-owners, saying signing privileges for them are not as risky.

In summary Winchester advised the participants to take care of things that are in their control and to make sure their intentions are known by their children or heirs.

Winchester answered a series of lively questions about subjects from ID theft insurance, I-bonds, trusts and wills. His expertise and friendly demeanor were warmly received.

In the business meeting, Ways and Means Committee chair Rachel Lynch reported that funds raised from the auction were $951, with a total for the 2008–09 season of $1,455. There are 101 dues-paid members.

Thurmond Library chair Emily Harsh reported that the campaign to retrieve overdue and lost books was going well, and exhorted members to be on the lookout for the tell-tale library markings on books.

The Sewanee Woman’s Club will meet next on Monday, May 11, and members and guests are encour-aged to wear their most festive hat, as May is Hat Month. Members are also asked to bring boxes of crayons (24), No. 2 pencils or blunt scissors for the Mountain TOP Day Camp near Altamont.

Come out into the sun and bathe your eyesIn undiluted light. On the old brassOf winter-tarnished grassUnder these few bronze leaves of oakSuspended, and a blue ghost of chimney smoke,Sit and grow wiseAnd empty as a simpleton.

The meadow mouse, twitching her nose in prayer,Sniffs at a sunbeam like celestial cheese.Come out, come out into the sunAnd bask your kneesAnd be an acolyte of the illumined air.The weathercock, who yesterday was cold,Today sings hallelujah hymns in gold.

Soon the small snake will slip her skinAnd the gray moth, in an old ritual,Unseal her silk cocoon.Come shed, shed now, your winter-varnished shellIn the deep diathermy of high noon.The sun, the sun, come out into the sun,Into the sun, come out, come in.

—“Come Out Into the Sun” by Robert Francis

1. Expect others to notice your hearing loss before you do! A common complaint for persons with hearing loss is that other people mumble and if they would just speak up, it would be easier to hear them. This is placing the “blame” on others rather than accepting the reality that your hearing is not as good as it used to be. It is likely that family, friends and co-workers will realize this difficulty before you do.

2. Expect your audiologist to be knowledgeable, courteous and accommodating. When going through this process, it is very important that you are comfortable with the audiologist that you have chosen to provide services for you. You should be allowed time to ask questions and discuss important issues related to your hearing loss and hearing aids.

If you have questions about hearing loss or hearing aids, please feel free to contact us at the Hearing Center. We are located at 705B North Atlantic Street in Tullahoma. We can be reached at (931) 393-2051 or toll-free at (888) 303-2051. You can also visit our website at www.thehearingcenterllc.com. We look forward to hearing from you.
