Pre-Cull Deer Hunt Today Through

WeekendThe 2008–09 Sewanee pre-cull

deer hunt will take place in four des-ignated zones on the Domain far from campus, from early morning until 10 a.m. and after 2 p.m., today through Sunday, Oct. 19. Large maps of the hunting zones can be seen on the duPont Library bulletin board, the community bulletin board located at the Sewanee Market and in the Student Post Office.

The pre-cull deer hunt is done only by trained and experienced bow hunters, who will be located at least 100 yards from trails and fire lanes.

The following trails will remain open at all times during the pre-cull: the entire Perimeter Trail, Piney Point trail, Beckwith’s Point trail, Bridal Veil Falls, Solomon’s Temple trail in Thumping Dick Hollow, the Tennessee Avenue trail and the Rails-to-Trails bike path.

The pre-cull hunt will continue in November and December. Watch for announcements.

Student affiliates Adrienne Borchardt (L) and Elizabeth Henry talk about the upcoming demonstrations for National Chemistry Week.

Flora & Fauna Preservation Topic

for Luncheon All are invited to enjoy a covered-

dish luncheon on Saturday, Oct. 18, at noon in the Sewanee Senior Citizens’ Center. Chris Roberts, South Cum-berland Project Manager for the Land Trust of Tennessee, will present the program at 12:30 p.m. Come to learn about what is being done to preserve the plants and wildlife of our area for future generations. Bring a dish to share and enjoy luncheon fellowship, or come just for the program.

The University of the South Chap-ter of the Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society (SAACS) will observe National Chemistry Week (NCW) with demonstration programs at Sewanee Elementary School, the University Child Care Center, Sewanee Children’s Center, and, for homeschooling families, Blackman Auditorium.

“Having a Ball with Chemistry” is the 2008 theme, and activities will focus on giving children of all ages an opportunity to have fun and to learn about the chemistry of sports. The study of chemistry has improved the way that athletes train, the sports they play and the equipment they use. For example, chemists have designed syn-thetic fabrics that help athletes swim faster or stay drier. Children will do a demonstration called “Evaporation Exploration” in which they will com-pare the rate of evaporation of water from cotton fabric and a performance fabric. Three additional demonstra-tions will be led by Sewanee faculty, staff and students.

The National Chemistry Week events are sponsored jointly by the

The Red Priest Quartet will per-form on Thursday, Oct. 23, at 7:30 p.m. in Guerry Auditorium as part of the Sewanee Performing Arts Series.

Though Red Priest plays baroque music, the group has been compared to the Rolling Stones, Jackson Pollock and Cirque du Soleil. Founded in 1997, the quartet has played at many music festivals, earning descriptions such as “visionary and heretical,” “wholly irreverent and highly en-lightened” and “deeply imaginative” with a “wicked sense of humor.” Red Priest believes that baroque music is intended to entertain.

General admission tickets are $20

Parents enjoyed a clay class with Burki Gladstone during the 2007 Parents’ Weekend class walk-through.

FAITH RENEWEDTo the Editor:

Sometimes you feel you are at your wits’ end with no faith left in people, and all of a sudden great people emerge!

I was downhearted and hurt, and then people brought my heart to feeling good again. Sometimes when things in life hit you and they are out of your control, you feel helpless. Along came people—some of them strangers—who made me feel better about others and this town. I believe they were sent by God.

I would like to thank some of those people who are angels in disguise: Monteagle Tire, Memories General Store and all the people who donated items and helped with the benefit. I would also like to thank my family and friends.

Tina BretzMonteagle n

THANKS TO PARTICIPANTSTo the Editor:

I would like to thank all of you who contributed to our St. Jude Bike-a-thon on Sept. 13, whether you rode your bike, tricycle or walked. A total of $618 was collected.

The winner of the bicycle from Woody’s Bicycles in Sewanee is Savannah Green. This is the second time Savannah has collected the most money, this year $190. In addition to Savannah, others were Logan Evans, Kobe Coker, Kyle Coker, Mattie Gore, Katie Sherrill, Judy Rollins and Nick Sargent.

The families at St. Jude appreciate people like you and thank all of you for your contributions.

For those who did not participate this year, prepare for 2009 because we will once again ride for St. Jude.

GUILT BY ASSOCIATION—ADIFFERENT TAKETo the Editor:

If McCain-Palin want to play guilt-by-association, they are on a dangerous road. They claim Obama is a radical quasi-terrorist because he served on the board of the Annenberg Challenge back in 1995 with Bill Ay-ers, a reformed domestic terrorist. Logically, the same goes for anyone who would select Bill Ayers to serve on his foundation’s board.

That would be media giant Walter H. Annenberg (1908–2002), recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Ronald Reagan in 1986, Am-bassador to England and producer of many of the documentaries you watched in school. Is this great Ameri-can also a supporter of terrorists and a radical?

I have volunteered on various boards and committees such as Little League, the Sewanee Community Center, playground committees, the 4th of July Games Committee, etc. I never ran FBI checks on the other parents and citizens who worked with me. We were just a group of people coming together temporarily for a common purpose, and I appreciated their contribution no matter what their beliefs or background. I hope volunteerism in this country doesn’t suffer from people’s fear of guilt-by-association.

The country has bigger things to worry about. In the words of John Mc-Cain, “Sooner or later, people are go-ing to figure out if all you run is nega-tive attack ads, you don’t have much of a vision for the future or you’re not ready to articulate it.” [The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, 2/21/2000]

CorrectionIn the Oct. 9 MESSENGER, in

the article on the Leaseholders Ass-sociation meeting, it was stated that Glenn Swygart had thanked Barbara Schlicting for her help in expediting the transfer of his mother’s lease after her death in 1999. Actually it was his mother-in-law, Mrs. Raymond (Amy) Finney, whom he says he would have been proud to have had as his mother. We regret the error.

Serving Where Called

We began this column five years ago in response to the large number of reservists who were called up for active duty to serve in the war in Iraq. Since then, the troubles in the Middle East and beyond have stretched our military to its limits. This column is a reminder that someone else is standing guard and facing fire for us. Please keep the following people, their families and all those who fight for freedom in your prayers:

Leaseholders’ Assn. to Meet

The Sewanee Leaseholders’ As-sociation will meet on Thursday, Oct. 30, at 6:30 p.m. in the Senior Citizens’ Center. A board of directors will be elected.

The purposes of the Sewanee Leaseholders’ Association are to pro-mote the interests of the leaseholders, to assist the University in arriving at a fair and just lease policy and to provide an outlet for expression of grievances and concerns that disturb the amity of the community. All lease-holders are encouraged to become members and to attend the monthly meetings. Annual dues are $2.

At the Franklin County School Board’s regular meeting on Oct. 9, board members voted unanimously to begin the selection process for a new director of schools. The first step is to ask representatives from the Tennessee School Boards Association (TSBA) to visit Franklin County and meet with teachers, staff members, administrators and board members to determine the qualifications for the district’s next director of schools.

The board thanked Assistant Superintendent Linda Foster for standing in for Charles Edmonds, whose resignation was accepted at the Sept. 25 board meeting, and asked her to continue to perform both jobs until the November board meeting. Foster agreed to continue and made it clear that she does not wish to be considered for the director’s position and needs additional assistance soon. Steve Ford said that Foster should be paid for doing additional work, and the rest of the board agreed. Foster will be compensated at a rate to be determined.

The package of services for which the board agreed to contract with the TSBA will cost $8,500. In addition to visiting the county’s schools and speaking with many employees, the TSBA will draw up a profile outlin-ing the qualities and skills sought in a director, circulate the profile throughout the state and present a list of the best candidates available. The problem with starting a search at this time of year is that many of the most qualified professionals are working under contracts.

Board members spent an hour contemplating how to proceed with the Broadview Elementary School kitchen and cafeteria renovation and expansion. The board had been waiting to begin the project until the state’s fire marshal approved the architect’s plans; that approval has been given. HDH Construction Man-agement’s Tom Smith, construction manager, together with F.C. Schools

New Director of Schools Search BeginsMaintenance Supervisor Bobby Campbell fielded board members’ questions regarding what various bids included and to what extent the district’s skilled workers and laborers could be used at Broadview.

The board voted to accept a $587,100 bid from HDH that will include most materials and the use of four skilled district workers when they are needed (at their regular salaries) and between three to four of the district’s laborers (at $10 per hour). Campbell said that three part-time laborers quit in September, so more laborers must be hired to help with this project. He has skilled elec-tricians, plumbers, carpenters and others on his staff who can work as needed on the project.

Board members could not agree on the legality of a motion passed at their Sept. 2 meeting, asking the director of schools to fill open posi-tions with current personnel when possible. Members Ford, Michelle Stovall and Mike Cunningham had spoken separately with board at-torney Rob Wheeler about this issue and interpreted his advice differently. Mike Holmes moved that Wheeler be asked to attend the November meet-ing to advise board members on this matter. The motion passed.

Board members unanimously passed a motion to accept the TSBA’s Code of Ethics and waived a second reading; the code is now in place and applies to the members of the school board.

Ford questioned the ethical be-havior of the board and specifically of the chairman. He distributed a three-page handout enumerating 40 examples of violations by Cunning-ham of the board’s Code of Ethics and TSBA’s training. Board members Kevin Caroland and Chris Guess said they did not want to hear about Ford and Cunningham’s dissension.

University of the South admis-sions directors, Jerre Maynor and Lisa Burns, met with Franklin County High School representatives Oct. 9 to develop a plan for improving aware-ness of the University’s opportunities for local students. The purpose of the plan is to assist students with the admissions process, explain the process of applying for financial aid, and making students aware of avail-able scholarships.

Despite the competitive selection process and the high cost (approxi-mately $42,000 per year for room, board and tuition) of attending the University, many FCHS students meet Sewanee’s high academic standards, and both FCHS and the University would like to see more FCHS students admitted to the school.

Pictured above (left to right) John Jackson, Diana Spaulding and Lee Brannon from FCHS and Lisa Burns and Jerre Maynor from Sewanee.

Early VotingThrough Oct. 30 The U.S. presidential and state gen-

eral elections will be held Nov. 4. Early voting has started and will continue through Oct. 30. For additional infor-mation contact the elections adminis-trator at the Franklin County Election Commission, 839 Dinah Shore Blvd., Suite 1, Winchester; 967-1893.

FCHS and University Collaborate for Student Success

To make students and parents more aware of the opportunities af-forded by Sewanee, FCHS has invited the representatives of the University to speak to interested seniors on Oct. 27 at 10:50 a.m. in the school audi-torium. Parents are invited to attend this information session as well.

Additionally, admissions and financial aid directors will address parents at the Nov. 20 meeting of the school’s PACT (Parent and Com-munity Team). Other goals that will be addressed include increasing minority student applications to the University of the South, showing students how to create a strong ap-plication, and explaining to teachers what the University seeks in a teacher recommendation.

On Oct. 6 about 50 people at-tended the annual fall town meeting called by the University Trustees’ Community Relations Committee and chaired by Alec Moseley, a trustee from Alabama.

University Chief Financial Offi-cer Jerry Forster presented updates on leaseholder issues discussed in committee, retirement community progress, Emerald-Hodgson Hospi-tal, the Sewanee Inn and golf course, and the status of the cell tower. Domain Manager Richard Winslow addressed the new SUD water plant and Lost Cove; Superintendent of Leases Barbara Schlichting reported on development in downtown Se-wanee; and Marvin Pate, director of Physical Plant Services, reported on the deer cull and new buildings on the Sewanee campus.

In his report Forster thanked Stephen Burnett, Sewanee resident and accountant, a member of the Leaseholders’ Association subcom-mittee on municipal services, for his objective assessment of this Univer-sity budget item. Leaseholds pay an average of $450 per year for police, fire, ambulance and other municipal services.

The University has invited a num-ber of representatives of retirement communities to consider Sewanee as a location for development. According to Forster, retirement communities like Graystone and Alexian Brothers prefer a population density of above 100,000 residents. The University continues talks with a group out of Alabama, Morgan LLC. Meanwhile, a grassroots group called Folks at Home is working toward providing in-home care for residents.

Forster reminded attendees of the effort the community exerted to convince LifePoint to keep Emerald-Hodgson Hospital open in 2001–02. Since then the hospital has had “a good run for the last several years,” Forster reported, although admis-sions have been declining due in large part to the loss of TennCare coverage for many.

The Sewanee Emergency Medical Service is doing well, according to Forster. When the SEMS is unable to run or there are advanced needs, the Grundy Ambulance is dispatched. Grundy keeps a vehicle parked

across from the hospital. Once Dr. Amy Evans’ office is complete, the ambulance will be stationed at her former office.

Pledges totaling $1.5 million have been received toward renovating the the University’s nine-hole golf course. It is estimated that the renovations will cost $3 million. The University is scaling down the original DPS design which called for a clubhouse, cottages adjacent to the course and banquet space. One option that the University is considering is to keep the Sewanee Inn restaurant and add space at the back, Forster stated. Priority will be given to guest rooms (approximately 30 traditional rooms), a banquet space and some three-bedroom suites which can be owned by in-dividuals. The third-party-owned suites will help fund the project. A design is expected in the spring. The architect working on the conceptual design is Tom Hogan of Atlanta.

A year ago Wireless Properties erected a 180 foot cell tower behind the convenience center. Environ-mental questions raised by Verizon were investigated and the state, after testing the site, found it to be safe. To improve cell reception on cam-pus, the University has encouraged Wireless Properties to offer financial incentives (such as first year free rent or reduced rent) to Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint.

Richard Winslow reported that the Sewanee Utility District is build-ing a new membrane water filtration plant. Should a water emergency arise, SUD has been granted access to Lake Dimmick. The utility is still under a sewer moratorium due to spray field deficiencies, which have been corrected. SUD is waiting for the Tennessee Department of Environ-ment and Conservation to approve the remediation.

Winslow gave an update on the University’s newly acquired Lost Cove property. The presence of invasive plant species (kudzu, privet) will be addressed by the University with mechanical and chemical methods of control. Eroded logging roads will be grassed as walking trails. A survey to establish property lines will be conducted.

Barbara Schlichting reviewed the development in downtown Sewanee:

University Trustees Meet with Community Membersin Town Hall Forum

six homes and two townhouses in Parson’s Green; new parking on Reed’s Lane and improved parking at Shenanigans and the Blue Chair; ren-ovation of the former HeadQuarters beauty shop into rental space; and new businesses opening—Woody’s Bicycles on Reed’s Lane and Corners Custom Framing in Sewanee Station. She also reported nine new homes in Wiggins Creek II.

Marvin Pate reported that this is the ninth deer cull season, the fourth with an added pre-cull hunt on se-lected fall weekends. In the last five years 496 deer have been harvested. Since the herd is fluid and deer can travel miles to browse, an accurate count of the herd is difficult. Ques-tions regarding the number of deer on the Domain and the impact of browsing needs to be scientifically studied, and there are plans to un-dertake such a study.

Pate reassured a resident that no bow-hunting will be conducted within 100 yards of homes and private property. The majority of the hunters are University employees. Plans for possible future hunting in Lost Cove are incomplete at this time, according to Pate.

Two new buildings have been added to the University campus—the $22 million Spencer Hall addition to Woods Lab and the Kyle Rote Jr. soc-cer fieldhouse, which includes lock-ers, training space and restrooms.

Volunteer fireman Doug Cameron noted that only one leaseholder is serving with SEMS and three are serving on the Sewanee Volunteer Fire Department. He urged commu-nity members to volunteer for one of these necessary services.

Other opportunities to serve in our community include the SUD board and the Community Council, which has openings in all four dis-tricts.

A complaint that the intersection of Kentucky and Tennessee avenues is dangerous was addressed. Once renovation of the soccer field located at that corner is complete, roadwork will be done.

Sewanee’s new chief of police, Robert White, spoke to the members of the Civic Association on Oct. 6. A native of Estill Springs, White worked part-time with the Sewanee Police Department for three years, served as assistant police chief for eight months and began serving as chief in late August.

“Sewanee grew on me,” White said, “the community, working with the kids; it’s been a great experi-ence.” White smiled as he recalled his earliest memories of Sewanee. As a senior in high school, he participated in “a lot of party weekends here on campus.” One night recently, as he walked around the Delta house to a side porch, he said, “I realized this was the place where I kissed my first Sewanee girl.”

After graduating from high school, he left home to join the military, and after he was discharged, he started a career in law enforcement and emer-gency management that has lasted for 30 years. For the past six years he administered the explosives detection program at Arnold Air Force Base.

Chief White enjoys the police/student/community relations aspects of his job. He said, “We have good of-ficers who are willing to do things that many wouldn’t do—it’s about helping others.” He stressed the importance of police officers being consistent and fair and said, “Alcohol-related enforcement incidents with students are up. We’re trying to get the younger ones under control, especially at sporting events.”

Last year he started a personal safety program at Sewanee for female students, which is continuing to gain momentum. “All of us,” he said, “go to various places, not always in Sewanee.” For example, when we go to Wal-Mart and other places after dark, we need to be constantly aware of strangers, especially in parking lots as we walk to our cars.

Next semester White plans to add an enhancement to the safety course, an aggression defense program, which may also be offered to mem-bers of the community. “In high stress or crisis situations, you’re not going to be able to think; you have to fall back on your training.”

Other programs to be presented on campus will be DUI and seat belt education. White would like to offer an educational program for parents, a fitting station to show how children’s car seats should be properly placed in cars.

White left the audience with a few more safety tips: As you are walk-ing in an unfamiliar or potentially

dangerous place, don’t let yourself be distracted from observing the envi-ronment by conversing with someone else walking beside you or on your cell phone. Those who would do you harm are watching for people whose minds are elsewhere. “I wish everyone would carry a gun and be well-trained in how to use it. We should not be prey to the predators,” he said.

White advised the group not to give personal information of any kind to people who come to your door or call you on the phone; nor should you reveal information online. [See the Federal Trade Commission’s Bureau of Consumer Protection website regarding identity theft: <www.ftc complaintassistant.gov/>.]

If you are at home or on campus and see or hear something suspicious or enter your house alone and feel something is amiss, call the Sewanee police for assistance (598-1111). If you are or someone in your family is having a life-threatening emergency, call 911. The 911 dispatchers in Win-chester will decide whether to ask the Sewanee police to answer your call.

White said, “We invite your phone calls, complaints, comments and con-cerns. Please come by the office, and we’ll do what we can for you.”

Civic Association president Eliza-beth Duncan reported that the as-sociation had received all budget requests for this year and will present a proposed budget to the member-ship for approval at its next meeting on Nov. 3. The presenter will be John Bordley, professor of chemistry, who will speak about the new Spencer Science building.

Emerald-Hodgson Hospital UpdateEmployee Recognition

Emerald-Hodgson Hospital (EHH) honored Leslee Hoosier as the September birthday winner. Leslee is a registered nurse and has served at EHH since February of 2004. She resides in Sewanee with her daughters, Karlee and newborn Hallee, who keep her quite busy. Each month EHH recognizes an employee selected in a random drawing among all employees born in that month. As the September honoree, Leslee received a gift basket containing movie tickets and other goodies and use of a close-in parking space for the month of September. Congratulations Leslie Hoosier!

State of the Hospital Utilization of EHH’s outpatient facilities not only exceeded last Septem-

ber’s levels, but was nearly 20 percent higher than expected. Skilled care admissions were also up, while emergency room visits held steady and general admissions declined slightly compared to September 2007. EHH Administrator Ralph Underwood attributes the rise in EHH’s outpatient visits to increased utilization of the hospitals laboratory, imaging and physical therapy services.

The Rev. Dr. Robert D. Hughes III has written a new book, “Beloved Dust: Tides of the Spirit in the Chris-tian Life.” Hughes is the Norma and Olan Mills Professor of Divinity at the School of Theology.

Published by Continuum Inter-national Publishing Group, “Beloved Dust” takes a realistic, contemporary view of the human being as entirely physical (dust) and then shows it immersed in three great tides of the Holy Spirit, the traditional threefold rhythm of conversion, transfigura-tion and glory. What is unique about Hughes’s approach, among other things, is the effort to root spiritual theology in the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, an outgrowth of renewed inter-est in the Trinity among Catholics and Protestants.

Hughes actively serves in a num-ber of national and international organizations. He has held several offices in the local, state and national American Association of University Professors, most recently serving on

Hughes Publishes “Beloved Dust”the national council. He is completing responsibilities as a faculty trustee of the University and a chaplain of the General Board of Examining Chap-lains of the Episcopal Church.

Hughes and his wife, Barbara, reside in Sewanee, where he is a mem-ber of the Sewanee Chorale, the local chapter of Phi Beta Kappa and the Guild of Humanists. He is a trainer in the School of Theology’s Education for Ministry (EfM) program, a four-year curriculum in adult theological education. He maintains a private practice in spiritual direction.

Hughes’ degrees include master’s and doctorate degrees from the University of St. Michael’s College, Toronto; an M.Div. from the Episcopal Theological School; and a bachelor’s degree from Yale University.

AN INVITATION TO JOIN A BIBLE STUDYA Bible Study Group is being formed by the Cowan Fellowship

Church for its members and anyone else in the community who would like to study the Old Testament book of Isaiah.

Isaiah has sometimes been called the “fifth gospel”because it contains passages which point to the coming of a “Prince of Peace” and a “Suffering Servant.” A study of Isaiah is an appropriate way to prepare for the seasons of

Advent and Christmas.

The study group will meet from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on the five Tuesday evenings from October 21 to November 18, meeting at the Fellowship Church, located on East Cumberland Street in Cowan. The study of Isaiah will be concluded with another

series of five meetings, during the season of Lent.

The study leader will be Sherwood Ebey, who is a Commis-sioned Lay Pastor in the Presbyterian Church and a retired

professor of the University of the South.

If you wish to accept this invitation to participate in this Tuesday evening Bible Study Group, please contact either

Sherwood Ebey (598-5883) or Pastor Ken Ervin at the church (967-7195.)

Lytle Book Signing Oct. 24

A book signing of “Execution’s Doorstep” by Leslie Lytle will be held on Oct. 24 at 4:30 p.m. in the Univer-sity Book Store.

“Execution’s Doorstep” tells the true stories of five lives trapped in a living nightmare, sentenced to die for crimes they did not commit. Since capital punishment was reinstated in the mid-1970s, more than 120 individuals have been proved in-nocent of the crimes for which they were sentenced to death. Lytle’s book poses a simple question: Can we trust the life and death of any person to a system run by human beings?

Sister Helen Prejean, author of “Dead Man Walking” and “Death of Innocents,” said this about Lytle’s book: “Here’s a promise: if you ac-company Ms. Lytle into these five stories you’ll not only ‘get it,’ you may be moved to join our efforts to change it.”

Lytle serves on the board of the Tennessee Coalition to Abolish State Killing; reports for the Sewanee Mountain Messenger; and is the edi-tor of Local Action and Beyond, the journal of the Cumberland Center for Justice and Peace (CCJP). Lytle also serves as the executive director of the CCJP.

The works of fiber artist Coral Turner are on display at the St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School Gallery until Oct. 31. There will be a reception for the artist on Thursday, Oct. 30, from 5 to 7 p.m. On Saturday, Nov. 1, Turner will conduct a workshop for members of the community from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

A 1992 graduate of St. Andrew’s-Sewanee, Turner lives in Knoxville.After earning a bachelor of fine arts degree in sculpture, Turner found she did not enjoy making things any longer: “I restricted myself with so many rules that I felt I had worked my way into a corner. I made nothing for five years, at which point I started feeling restless.” She worked her way out of that corner by pursuing new media. She began to knit and took a silk screening class. Her creative work flourished when she stopped impos-ing rules on herself. Turner pursued a master’s degree in fiber, continues to create prints and works with em-broidery and needlepoint.

Holmes said that he and other new board members want to move for-ward and not focus on past problems. Ford moved to rescind Cunningham’s chairmanship, seconded by Mike Abbott. The board tabled the motion until the November meeting.

In other business, the board voted not to approve a student fund-raiser proposed by North Lake Elementary because the funds would have been raised to pay for a new copy machine for the school. Setting parameters for student fund-raisers is an issue that Stovall has brought up repeat-edly during meetings in 2008; she suggested that this be an issue for a working session soon, along with an update on the reading program.

The board asked School Nutri-tion Supervisor Kathryn Stewart to prepare a report for the November meeting explaining food costs, and she agreed to do so. Cunningham asked her to include information on what other school systems are doing to keep their food costs down.

Each year two board members

serve as trustees for the teachers’ sick leave bank. Abbott offered to serve again, and Guess volunteered to serve this year.

Several Leadership Franklin County members attended the meet-ing. The organization, in its 13th year, has 14 adults and 23 high school juniors as members.

After Assistant Superintendent Foster presented nine pay scales for noncertified employees, the board discussed the need to simplify the scales. The board asked Foster to work with her staff to consolidate the scales, and she agreed to bring a new version to the December board meeting.

The date and location of the November board meeting will be announced closer to the time of the meeting.

Sewanee Children’s Center Student Outreach

The students in A’ndrea Fisher and Christie Pierce’s classes at the Sewanee Children’s Center teamed up with SCC board member and parent Rachel Lynch for a penny drive to support postnatal care in developing nations.

During the children’s studies of the world, Lynch brought to the class options from the Episcopal Relief and Development (ERD) Fund for out-reach. The class chose postnatal care to coincide with Fisher’s pregnancy.

All of the children at SCC par-ticipated in this effort and raised over $100. The teachers used this event to practice academic skills such as counting, estimation, geography and the social skills of generosity and caring.

SCC continues to accept donations of any amount for this worthy cause. Jars are located in the center and in the parish hall of Otey Parish.

There are still a few open spots in the SCC program, call Maggie Hanson at 598-5928 for more information.

Tiger Field Hockey Loses Two

The Sewanee Tiger field hockey team was on the road in Indiana and Kentucky last weekend.

The Tigers faced DePauw in Green-castle, Ind., in SCAC action Saturday, Oct. 11, and the host DePauw Tigers topped Sewanee 4-1.

The lone Sewanee goal was on a Taylor Skeen shot from a Claiborne Buckingham assist. The shot count was even on the day, with each team taking 10 attempts at the net. In goal for Sewanee, Clarkie Crawford had one save and Emily Detmer had two saves.

Sewanee wrapped up the weekend of SCAC road action on Sunday, Oct. 12, and the host Colonels edged out the Tigers with a breakaway goal in overtime, securing a 1-0 win for Centre.

Sewanee had eight shots on goal, but Centre took 18 shots and one found its home in the back of the net in the overtime period. Crawford earned six saves in goal for the Tigers and is leading the SCAC in saves and saves per game.

Sewanee is now 6-4 in 2008 and is 2-4 in league play.

Sewanee jumped out to an early 14-3 lead in Sherman, Texas, Satur-day, Oct. 11, against Austin College and was leading 20-10 at the half, but the Tigers couldn’t hold on. The Aus-tin Kangaroos rallied in the second half to get a 33-22 win.

After Austin got an early field goal in the first quarter, Sewanee scored a pair of touchdowns, both on short runs by Ben Cleveland. In the second quarter, Austin eased the Sewanee lead with a 34-yard run, but Sewanee answered on a pair of Andrew Gould field goals, taking the halftime score of 20-10 in favor of Sewanee. Gould is currently leading the league in field goals.

In the second half, Austin turned it on, scoring two touchdowns in the third quarter, followed by a field The Sewanee men’s soccer team

traveled to Georgetown and San Antonio, Texas, last weekend for SCAC play.

In Georgetown on Friday night, Oct. 10, Southwestern got out to a 1-0 lead in the first half, but the Tigers tied it up in the 66th minute of play on a Jackson Gannaway goal from a Matt Engle corner kick. In the 74th minute, Southwestern took the 2-1 lead that would last.

Sewanee took 16 shots compared to 22 for the Pirates. Matt Hale had eight saves for Sewanee, while South-western had three.

Sewanee faced No. 1 Trinity in San Antonio on Sunday, Oct. 12, and fell 5-1.

Sewanee and Trinity played a scoreless, defensive battle for nearly 30 minutes before the top-ranked Trinity Tigers jumped out to a 2-0 lead. They would add one more in the first, taking the halftime score to 3-0.

In the second half, Trinity added some insurance before Gannaway gave the visiting Tigers some life with an 82nd-minute goal from a Matt Lightfoot assist. Trinity scored one more late, giving the hosts the final 5-1 tally.

In goal, Sewanee senior Johnny Nalley had six saves. Trinity outshot Sewanee 28-7 in the contest.

Overall, Sewanee is now 4-8-1 and is 1-5-1 in the SCAC.

The Sewanee women’s soccer team fell to two Texas teams last weekend in SCAC matches.

Sewanee women started off strong in SCAC soccer play Friday, Oct. 10, playing to a first half 0-0 draw against Southwestern in Georgetown, Texas, but the Pirates locked down a 3-1 win before time ran out in the second.

South Middle Sports Banquet

On Monday, Oct. 20, at 6 p.m. South Middle School student athletes in football, girls’ soccer and cross country will be honored during the annual fall sports banquet.

Tiger of the Week: Lilly Barnett

Lilly Barnett, a first-year soccer defender from Abilene, Texas, has been named Tiger of the Week for her play the weekend of Oct. 10–12.

Barnett has come in and earned a spot as a starter at the center of Sewanee’s defense, which has allowed only 10 shots per game average for Tiger opponents. Barnett returned to her home state last weekend and played in front of her parents and friends in Sewanee’s two near misses in SCAC play. She played all 90 min-utes in both games and continued to anchor the Sewanee defense and win balls in the air. Barnett is also a member of the TEAM USA National Windsurfing Team.

“Lilly is the definition of a gamer,” said Sewanee coach Dylan Harrison. “Give her a contest where there is a winner and a loser and she will do everything in her power to help her team win. The thing that impresses her teammates the most is her abil-ity to win every head ball that she challenges.”

Others receiving recognitionCaitlin McNaughton, a sophomore

defender on the field hockey team, played superior defense in both Sewanee games this past weekend. “Caitlin has a great sense of the game and knows when to set up to play defense on a player and when to hang back and wait for the play

Lilly Barnett

to develop. She has been a consistent player for us throughout our season. Caitlin helped to keep Centre College to only one goal on 18 shots in our game on Sunday,” commented coach Jen Baldaccini.

Robb Named SCAC Runnerof the Week

ished with a personal best time at 6K with 23:11.19, which was the fourth fastest time ever on the course. This is the second time Robb has been named Runner of the Week in 2008.

“Hayley ran a tough race this week with a solid time, given she had to run by herself the entire race. She contin-ues to improve as we head toward the conference and regional meets,” said head coach Jeff Heitzenrater.

Sewanee Footballgoal and another TD in the fourth. Sewanee finalized the 33-22 score with a safety against the ’Roos with three minutes left.

Sewanee led the game in total offense with 361 yards, compared to 223 for the ’Roos. The Tigers earned 20 first downs; Austin had 10. Cleve-land led Sewanee’s rushing game with 74 yards on the ground. Patrick Shelton threw for 253 yards, 117 of them to Bruce Bentley.

Defensively, Chalankis Brown grabbed an interception for Sewanee, taking his season total to seven. He is leading the league in picks. Brown had six tackles on the day.

Sewanee fell to 2-4 with the loss and is 1-3 in the league. The Tigers face Millsaps on the road this week-end.

Men’s Soccer Update

Women’s Soccer Reporttook a 1-0 lead. Elizabeth Constantine tied it up for Sewanee from a Fritsl Butler assist four minutes later, but Southwestern added two goals to its total late in the second half to secure the 3-1 final score.

Virginia Zakas had six saves in goal on the night. Southwestern out-shot Sewanee 19-17. Each team took three corner kicks and committed six fouls.

On Sunday, Oct. 12, in San Antonio, Sewanee got out to a 1-0 lead early on an Evey Gannaway goal from a corner kick that would give the Tigers a 1-0 edge over host Trinity for the remain-der of the first half. Trinity would get the eventual 3-2 win, though, and would send Sewanee back to the Mountain without the SCAC women’s soccer win.

In the second half, Sewanee in-creased its lead to 2-0 when new-comer Lizzie Butler scored an unas-sisted goal in the 56th minute. Trinity waited until the 80th minute before scoring the first of its three goals to give Trinity the go-ahead.

Trinity outshot Sewanee 17-8 and took six corner kicks compared to only three for Sewanee. In goal, first- year player Virginia Zakas grabbed five saves, while Katie Cowan had only two for Trinity.

Sewanee falls to 6-4-1 and is 4-3-1 in league play.

Nature NotesDistinguishing Red-Bellied from Red-Headed

WoodpeckersThis fall Harry and Jean Yeatman have seen Red-headed Wood-

peckers and Red-bellied Woodpeckers frequently in trees by their barns. The larger Red-bellied birds are trying to drive away the smaller Red-heads.

The Red-headed Woodpecker (below, feeding young) has a call that sounds like a hard-to-start weed eater—a series of “perrup, perrup per-

rup.” The Red-bellied Wood-pecker (below) says, “cha, cha cha.” The adults of both species h ave re d o n their heads, but the Red-headed shows a black back with much

white on the mid-hind wing feathers and rump. The white patches are very conspicuous in flight. The Red-bellied has a black and white closely barred back and rump.

The adult male Red-bellied shows the red extending to the bill, but the female has the red confined to the crown and nape, so sexes can be distinguished. The Red-headed adult males and females look alike and must be distinguished by their behavior. Both species are in the same genus of woodpeckers, so watch the behaviors of the sexes of the Red-bellied, and apply them to the Red-headed to tell the females from the males.

The faint red of the Red-bellied is difficult to see if the bird is not held in the human hand. The head of the young Red-headed is grayish-brown (no red), whereas the head of the young Red-bellied is completely gray.

Both species feed on acorns and beetle larvae found in the acorns, berries and other fruit, wood-boring insects and so on. Unlike the Red-bellied, the Red-headed is an expert catcher of flying insects, which it captures like a flycatcher bird. A butterfly comes along, and the Red-headed leaves its perch on a pole or limb and expertly catches its meal. There are mounted specimens of these woodpeckers in the Biology Department’s cases in Spencer Hall.

From Bard to Verseby Scott and Phoebe Bates

1-2-3 was the number he played but today the number came 3-2-1; bought his carbide at 30 and it went to 29; had the favorite at Bowie but the track was slow . . .

Dénouement to dénouement, he took a personal pride in the certain, certain way he lived his own private life, but nevertheless, they shut off his gas; nevertheless, the bank foreclosed; nevertheless, the landlord called . . .

And wow he died as wow he lived, going whop to the office and blooie home to sleep and biff got married and bam had children and oof got fired, zowie did he live and zowie did he die, . . .

Very much missed by the circulation staff of the New York Evening Post; deeply, deeply mourned by the B.M.T.,
