TDEC Lifts Moratorium on SUD
Wastewater Treatment Plant
The Board of Commissioners of
the Sewanee Utility District (SUD)
of Franklin and Marion Counties
held its regular monthly business
meeting on Aug. 25 in the SUD office building on Sherwood Road.
SUD Manager Ben Beavers announced that he had received official notification from the Tennessee
Department of Environment and
Conservation (TDEC) lifting the
moratorium on SUD’s wastewater
treatment plant (WWTP). In 2005,
TDEC cited the WWTP for violations and mandated rehabilitation
of the facility, prohibiting SUD
from taking on new sewer customers until the order was lifted. SUD
undertook immediate remedial
measures at the WWTP and has
operated in compliance with TDEC
regulations since 2006.
The remedial actions at the
WWTP included rehabilitation of
the spray fields, which requires
periodic thinning of trees. Beavers
said SUD consultant Nate Wilson
was marking trees for thinning,
and the road around the WWTP
had been regraded to facilitate
tree removal. SUD made a profit
from the previous timber harvest,
but given the road work needed
and current low price of timber,
SUD’s goal for the upcoming timber
harvest is to “break even,” Beavers
explained.
As in the previous timber harvest, the contractor will be charged
for damaged spray nozzles and paid
a bonus if no nozzles are damaged,
an effective policy, according to
Beavers. There was no damage
during the last timber harvest, and
the contractor was paid the bonus.
“It was well worth it,” Beavers commented.
The board voted to approve a
credit card usage policy drafted
by Beavers at the recommendation
of the state comptroller’s office to
minimize the risk of misappropriation of funds. The policy stipulates
the following: no cash advances
on SUD credit card accounts; all
transactions must be documented
by a receipt; monthly, a designated employee, who is not the
card holder, will review credit card
charges comparing the receipts to
the statement; purchases made by
an employee

Peace Cranes from page 1 . . .
Volunteers will find a table with
origami crane-folding instructions in
the duPont Library lobby. Volunteers
also will demonstrate how to fold
cranes on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays, from 3 to 4 p.m. today
through Sept. 18.
The Sewanee peace crane project is based on a dream of a young
Japanese girl, Sadako Sasaki, who
was 2 years old when Hiroshima was
bombed. Ten years later she contracted leukemia, commonly known
by the Japanese as the “Atom Bomb
Disease.” At that time there was little
hope of survival; however, Sadako
believed in an ancient Japanese legend, which holds that folding 1,000
cranes so pleases the gods that the
folder is granted one wish. Sadako
wished to get well and live a long life.
Although she did not reach her goal of
1,000 cranes, her struggle for life and
her dedication to peace inspired her
classmates to construct a peace statue
for all children who were victims of
the atomic bombing of Japan. This
statue, completed in 1958, stands in
the Peace Park in Hiroshima with
the inscription, “This is our cry. This
is our prayer. For building peace in
the world.” Each year, mountains of
origami cranes have been sent to
Hiroshima for Peace Day (Sept. 21)
in affirmation of this prayer. The
crane has become a symbol for peace
throughout the world.
The first Sewanee peace crane
exhibit was sponsored by the Cumberland Center for Justice and Peace
in the early 1990s. It included cranes
made by members of the Sewanee
community. The origami birds have
flown across the library lobby four
times since that first display. Members of the community have always
been encouraged to participate.
Each time an exhibit ended, a portion of the old display was saved.
New cranes have been added each
time. The first exhibit had about 800
cranes; the second, in 2001, had a
little over 1,000. The exhibit in 2005
had around 2,500.
The 2008 exhibit was installed
the week of Veteran’s Day, with 1,600
cranes from the 2005 exhibit and
1,000 new cranes. The Sewanee community folded an additional 1,500
cranes to create a memorial to the
American military dead in Iraq. By
Memorial Day, 4,033 cranes were
in the air. In response to several
comments, additional cranes will be
added to honor the soldiers fighting
in Afghanistan. The current exhibit
will remain until the end of fall term
2009.
THE SEWANEE MOUNTAIN MESSENGER
Six years ago this column began to support the large number
of reservists and National Guard
members called up for active
duty to serve in the war in Iraq.
As the United States withdraws
troops from Iraq, they are being
redeployed to Afghanistan. About
130,000 troops will remain in
Iraq to support and train their
military and assist with counterterrorism. This is a reminder that
someone else is standing guard
and facing fire for us. Please keep
the following individuals, their
families and all those who fight
for freedom in your prayers:

FOUL CALLED IN BATTLE OF
THE CHEFS
To the Editor:
To comment on the “Battle of the
Chefs” article in the last issue of the
Messenger, I feel that a foul must be
called in this competition. I am Chef
John Gegumis, the Greek competitor
in this event. As we prepared our
dishes for the evening, my Peruvian
challenger was listing the ingredients
in his dishes. I was told that one
ingredient was Kalamata olives. As
these can only be Greek, that entrée,
therefore, was a foul in the competition. I ask that the crown of Super
Chef be retrieved until all investigations are completed.
Furthermore, I ask that a rematch
take place at my place of business
with my customers, who have already
told me that I will win, so I have
arranged to have my manager, Lela
Franklin, award me a 20-ft. trophy as
the New Super Chef. To use a Greek
ingredient with any dish other than a
Greek dish taints the authenticity of
that dish. A little salt in much water
salts all the water. No Peruvian ingredients were used in my menu.
John Gegumis

[If only we could use emoticons in
Letters to the Editor, this one would
be full of laughing faces. We did
check with Chef Enrique Madico, the
Peruvian chef, who said the olives were
Peruvian, but that he used the Greek
name for this type of black olive to
simplify understanding.
More good-natured cook-offs are
planned; watch the Messenger ads for
details. Ed]

THANKS FOR GREAT OPEN
HOUSE
To the Editor:
On behalf of everyone at Sewanee
Elementary School I would like to
extend a big “thank you” for a great
open house. Parents were able to
visit the classrooms to meet and
greet all of our wonderful teachers.
Our attendance was overwhelming.
We served 260 parents and students
during dinner. SES is truly a special
place in our community. Thank you to
all that helped to make this occasion
a huge success

HEALTH CARE REFORM
CAN NOT WAIT
To the Editor:
As a businessperson I know that
businesses that can afford it are now
spending around $9,600 a year for
health insurance for their employees.
Other industrialized countries
offer universal coverage for all their
citizens at half the per capital costs
that the United States spends.
I am concerned that these costly
expenditures for health care do not
deliver the best value for my family and for many other Americans.
That is why I am supporting health
reform.
We need a system that insures
all citizens, not just those fortunate
enough to work for employers that
provide it or those eligible for Medicare. Anything less strikes me as
unethical and immoral in a country
as rich and powerful as America.
We need a system that costs
less. Continuing cost increases are
not sustainable for our employers.
Without reform even Medicare is not
sustainable. Spending so much on
health care is robbing America of the
money necessary to invest in better
education for our children, address
climate change, develop new energy
options, create jobs and invent new
technology.
Health care reform is not something that can wait.

Labor Day
Closings
Labor Day is Monday, Sept. 7,
and all federal, state and county offices will be closed, as will banks and
public schools. The Sewanee Senior
Citizens’ Center will be closed and no
lunch will be served that day.
University offices will be open, as
will St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School.
The duPont Library and Fowler Center will observe regular hours.
County Commissioner Arthur
Knoll, who serves on the Franklin
County Commission School Committee, reports that in its Aug. 24 meeting
the committee discussed the possibility of a partnership with Middle
Tennessee State University which
would give adults the opportunity
to continue their education beyond
high school, yet within the county. To
qualify, the county needs to identify
key people who would help establish
a core group of about 15 to 25 interested individuals to participate.
“Mike Cunningham of the school
board heartily supported the proposal, as did John Payne of the
Industrial Development Board, both
of whom felt that the county needed
to produce more skilled technicians
rather than to just graduate liberal
arts candidates,” Commissioner Knoll
reports. “Skilled graduates would be
attractive to new enterprises moving
into the area.”
According to Commissioner Knoll,
Director of Schools Rebecca Sharber will explore the MTSU offer, to
ascertain MTSU’s online programs
and the possibility of utilizing the
government’s stimulus program.
Arthur Knoll, along with Johnny
Hughes, represents District 5 (Sewanee, Sherwood and Keith Springs
Mountain) on the Franklin County
Commission. In addition to the
school committee, Knoll serves on
the long-range planning and the
health and retirement committees.
Hughes chairs the legislative and the
long-range planning committees and
serves on the law enforcement and
the fire committees.

Catechumenate:
“The Beginning”
On Wednesday, Sept. 9, at 7 p.m. in
the Cushman Room of the Women’s
Center on Mississippi Avenue, the
Catechumenate will talk about the
beginning and share in desserts
and coffee from Stirling’s. University
Chaplain Tom Macfie will make a
presentation before everyone breaks
into small groups to discuss views
on the start of creation. One of the
ingredients for the success of the
Catechumenate is the mixture of
students, seminarians, faculty and
community members coming together to share their lives. For more
information contact Lay Chaplain
Seth Olson at 598-1251.

The Episcopal Peace Fellowship
invites you to its weekly meetings
for prayer, study and work, directed

Monteagle
On Sunday, Sept. 6, at 10:30 a.m.
in Christ Church Monteagle, several
well-known hymns will be sung that
include the word “labor,” calling to
mind the imagery of physical work,
harvesting grain and serving in
God’s vineyard. Even though ours is
no longer an agrarian society, we appreciate those who plant and harvest
our food.
The Sunday before Labor Day was
once known as Labor Sunday. The
original call for a special day to lift
up the dignity of labor was proposed
as “Labor’s Holiday.”
After the Sunday service each
week, lunch is served. Folks are bringing various kinds of barbecue this
week, and all are welcome.

“Falling Whistles for a Free World”:
Peace in Congo?
Sean Carroll
Geneticist to
Kick Off Darwin
Celebration
Sean Carroll will speak on Monday, Sept. 14, at 7:30 p.m. in Blackman Auditorium on “Remarkable
Creatures: Epic Adventures in the
Search for the Origins of Species,” also
the title of his most recent book. The
lecture is free and open to the public.
He will sign copies of his book earlier
in the day from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. at
the University Bookstore. He will not
be available to sign books following
the evening lecture.
Geneticist Carroll is the acknowledged leader of the exciting new field
known as “evo devo,” evolutionary
developmental biology. His groundbreaking book “Endless Forms Most
Beautiful” was published in 2005 to
rave reviews. “Making of the Fittest”
won the 2007 Phi Beta Kappa Science
Book Award, enhancing his reputation as one of today’s most influential
scientists.
Carroll’s latest book,“Remarkable
Creatures: Epic Adventures in the
Search for the Origins of Species,”
is an account of some of the most
dramatic adventures and important
discoveries in two centuries of biological exploration and how they gave
birth to and nourished the science of
evolution.
A charismatic speaker, Carroll is
professor of molecular biology and
genetics and an investigator with
the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of Wisconsin. His
research has centered on the genes
that control animal body patterns
and play major roles in the evolution
of animal diversity.
Carroll’s talk is sponsored by the
University’s biology department to
celebrate the 150th anniversary of
the publication of Darwin’s worldchanging work, “On the Origin of
Species,” and is supported by contributions from the University Lectures
Committee and J. Milton Harris and
Alice Chenault.
Other related talks: Sept. 25, Daniel
Promislow, Department of Genetics,
University of Georgia; Oct. 23, Jaap de
Roode, Emory University.
Sean Carasso, CEO of a start-up
nonprofit organization called Falling
Whistles, a campaign for peace in
Congo, will be in Sewanee Sept. 6–10;
a schedule of his presentations appears at the end of this article.
When Carasso went to Congo
in January 2008, he discovered an
illegal military prison for children.
It was there that he heard about the
“whistle blowers,” boys abducted by
rebel armies who were too small to
carry a gun and were sent to the front
lines of war armed only with whistles.
Their duty was to make enough noise
to scare the enemy away or to receive
the first round of bullets. Carasso
wrote e-mails describing what he saw,
and they were forwarded widely.
Carasso’s writing was the first step
toward starting the nonprofit organization Falling Whistles, which supports Congolese advocacy programs
to restore the lives of war-affected children through the sale of whistles. The
whistle serves as a symbol of protest
against this war, largely absent from
the western world’s consciousness.
This past summer, Will Watson
(C’12) had the opportunity to work
as an intern at Falling Whistles.
“Time and time again, I was amazed
at Carasso’s intelligence and gifts as a
speaker. His passion is advocating for
youth and peace in our world,” commented Watson.
Carasso is a graduate of the University of Texas with a degree in political
science. His speaking topics include
but are not limited to: 1) the war in
Congo and its strategic centerpiece
to geopolitical security and peace, 2)
cultural action and youth social movements of the past five years, and 3) the
role of the whistle blower in standing
up for peace.
Carasso’s visit to Sewanee begins
on Sunday, Sept. 6, at 6 p.m., when
he will be the speaker for Growing in
Grace in All Saints’ Chapel; everyone
in the community is welcome.
On Monday, Sept. 7, at 12:15 p.m.,
he will speak at the Career Services
luncheon in the McClurg dining hall
meeting room on “Starting and Managing a Nonprofit Organization.” This
event is for students and faculty only.
On Tuesday, Sept. 8, at 7:30 p.m., in
Convocation Hall, Carasso will give a
keynote presentation, “Falling Whistles for a Free World.” He will speak
about Congo as a strategic centerpiece
to geopolitical security and peace and
the work of Falling Whistles, with its
goal of seeing that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is realized
in Congo. Everyone in the community
is welcome to attend this event.

Sewanee Union Theatre
Sewanee Union Theatre This Week
Thursday–Saturday, Sept. 3–5, at 7:30 p.m.
Star Trek
126 minutes • PG-13 • Admission $3
On the day of James Kirk’s birth, his father dies on his ship in a last stand
against a mysterious alien vessel. He was looking for Ambassador Spock,
who is a child on Vulcan at that time, disdained by his neighbors for
his half-human nature. Twenty years later, Kirk has grown into a young
troublemaker inspired by Capt. Christopher Pike to fulfill his potential
in Starfleet even as he annoys his instructors like young Lt. Spock. Suddenly, there is an emergency at Vulcan and the newly commissioned USS
Enterprise is crewed with promising cadets like Nyota Uhura, Hikura
Sulu, Pavel Chekov and even Kirk himself, thanks to Leonard McCoy’s
medical trickery. Together, this crew will have an adventure in the final
frontier where the old legend is altered forever even as the new version
of it is just beginning. (www.imdb.com.)
Sewanee Union Theatre Next Week

When she learns that she’s in danger of losing her visa status and being
deported back to her native Canada, overbearing book editor Margaret
Tate (Sandra Bullock) forces her put-upon assistant, Andrew Paxton
(Ryan Reynolds), to marry her. Directed by Anne Fletcher (27 Dresses),
this romantic comedy also stars Craig T. Nelson and Mary Steenburgen
as Andrew’s parents, Joe and Grace, and Betty White as the outspoken
Grandma Annie. (www.netflix.com)
EQB Meetings Resume
The EQB Club, Sewanee’s oldest
existing organization, begins its
138th year on Wednesday, Sept. 16,
with the first of its 12 Advent semester lunches at the Sewanee Inn.
Gathering time is 11:30 a.m., with
lunch catered by Julia’s at noon. Reservations are required; call Caroline

<[email protected]>. For
the first luncheon, the reservation
deadline is Sunday, Sept. 13, before 6
p.m. Lunch costs $10 per person.
From time to time, Spotlight
speakers highlight the lunches to
report on current events and issues of
interest to the community. This year’s
first Spotlight will be presented at the
Sept. 23 lunch by Kay MacKenzie, advisor to the University’s international
students. She will speak about this
year’s new international students and

Dues for the year are $30 for individuals or $50 for couples. Checks
payable to EQB may be brought to the
first luncheon or mailed to Richard

Liberal Arts.” The annual Christmas
dinner party will be held on Dec. 12,
and the traditional Kentucky Derby

Beavers informed the board that
on the recommendation of SUD’s
attorney Don Scholes, SUD will file
an insurance claim to recover the
$60,000 loss due to misappropriation
of funds, allegedly by the former office manager.
The board reviewed the amended
Professional Services Agreement
with Barge, Waggoner, Sumner and
Cannon, Inc. (BWSC), the engineer-
The best thing to do
behind a person’s
back is to pat it.
From “Two-Liners
Stolen From Others by
Joe F. Pruett”
ing firm overseeing construction of
the new water plant. In June, BWSC
requested an increase of more than
$250,000 for engineering-related expenses, explaining that unanticipated
complications and modifications to
the original design would cause them
to incur an additional $300,000 in
expenses above and beyond those
itemized in the initial agreement
with SUD.
SUD Commissioners Ken Smith
and Rick Sommer met with BWSC
representatives George Garden and
Ed Walker to discuss the line-item rationale for the increase and ultimately
agreed to the revised fees proposed
by BWSC, with the exception of a
slight reduction in the planning fee
requested by BWSC which was lowered from $67,500 to $60,000. The
amended agreement did not require
a vote by the board since, in order
for the project to proceed, the board
approved the budget in June, with the
understanding that approval did not
constitute a contract with or obligation to BWSC. By the amended agreement the total increase in engineering
related fees is $250,000.
Looking to the projected completion date, BWSC engineer Garden
said, “You should be able to make
water by July 5” (of 2010).
Commissioner Smith introduced
a discussion about drainage from the
Sewanee Airport runway contaminat-
ing SUD’s water supply. University
Forester and Domain Manager Richard Winslow confirmed that there was
no contingency plan for containing
a fuel and fluid spill in the event of
an accident. Board President Doug
Cameron proposed that a bulldozer
could be used to push up a temporary retaining wall to contain a spill.
Smith will bring up the issue at the
University’s next Natural Resources
Advisory Committee meeting.
Commissioner Sommer announced a Tennessee Department
of Environment and Conservationsponsored public meeting to share
information of TDEC’s regional planning initiatives for the Cumberland
Plateau. The meeting is scheduled for
5 p.m., Sept. 10, at DuBose Conference

Prayer Shawl
Ministry Begins
Sept. 8 at St. James
An organizational meeting to
launch a Prayer Shawl Ministry will
be held on Tuesday, Sept. 8, at 4:30
p.m. at St. James Episcopal Church
in Midway.
The shawls do not have to be knitted; they can be sewn, crocheted, assembled, recycled, etc. (Free knitting
lessons are available, as are needles
and yarn.)
Whether they are called prayer
shawls, comfort shawls, peace shawls
or mantles, the shawl maker begins
with prayers and blessings for the recipient. The intentions are continued
throughout the creation of the shawl.
Upon completion, a final blessing is
offered before the shawl is sent on its
way. Some recipients have continued
the kindness by making a shawl and

SAS Girls’ Varsity Soccer Stuns Franklin Co.,
Dominates Huntland
The St. Andrew’s-Sewanee girls’
varsity soccer team stunned Franklin
County High School on Aug. 25, and
dominated Huntland on Aug. 27, putting two in the win column.
On Aug. 25, SAS opened their
regular season with a 3-2 victory over
Franklin County High School.
Sophomore Allyson Ridley of
South Pittsburg was the first to put
SAS on the board. Ten minutes later
FCHS’s Hannah Simmons tied the
match up.
In the second half senior captain
Greer Sims of Ambrose, Ga., scored
her first career goal off a cross from
sophomore Sadie Shackelford of
Sewanee. With only 10 minutes remaining, Simmons answered with
her second goal of the match. Both
teams continued to fight hard and
create scoring opportunities. Then
with 10 seconds remaining, senior
captain Zoe Petroplous of Sewanee
chipped the ball over the defense to
Sadie Shackelford, who fought off
three defenders and slotted the ball
home for SAS’s first win over FCHS
in 10 years.
SAS senior captain Hannah Barry
of Sewanee anchored the defense,
along with freshman Katie Craighill,
also of Sewanee, who was making her
first start in the goal.
The Mountain Lions were back
in action at home on Aug. 27 in their
second match of regular season play
and defeated Huntland High School
3-0.
Allyson Ridley was the first to
put SAS on the boards. Later she
assisted senior captain Greer Sims,
who scored her second goal of the
season off a cross just outside the
six-yard box.

The St. Andrew’s-Sewanee middle
school girls’ soccer team was defeated by Fayetteville City School on
Monday.
The Mountain Lions held Fayetteville to a single goal in the first half
of the match. Despite a strong start
at the beginning of the second half,
Fayetteville increased their offensive
pressure, and SAS was unable to hold
them out of the net. The final score of
the match was 4-0.
Coach Knoll commented,“We have
many young players and a tremendous amount of potential. This was a

Nature Notes
Canoeing the Elk River
On Aug. 22, the weather was good, so Jean, Harry and Clay Yeatman, William Gilchrist, Henrietta Croom and her son, Fred, drove
to Kelso, Tenn., to rent three canoes from Kelso Canoe Rental, to paddle
and drift down the Elk River. They were taken to the launching point
seven miles east of Fayetteville. Sandwiches and drinks were taken by
the participants. Lunch was at mid-morning, while sitting in canoes.
The Elk is one of the most scenic
rivers in Middle Tennessee, comments
Harry. It flows southwest through
steep wooded hills. The water was
clear, and soon wildlife was observed.
Kingfishers (see illustration) “rattled”
and dove into the stream to catch
small fish. When the canoes rounded
a river bend, a large flock of Black
Vultures were flying overhead and
roosting in some trees by the stream.
On logs in the water large numbers
of empty shells of Asiatic clams were
observed. They indicated that many
muskrats were present and well-fed.
A big beaver was seen chomping on
tender branches at the water’s edge.
Beavers live in large holds in the river banks. A river otter (see illustration) made an appearance. The canoe rental people said that one of
these large fish-eaters had produced three “cubs.” This indicates that this
mammal is being restored
to former good numbers according to Harry. Two Great
Blue Herons were encountered. One flew downstream,
“swacking.” A few Wood
Ducks that appeared to be
in eclipse (moulting) plumage were disturbed and flew
away. Slider Turtles were
sunning on logs, slipping
into the water as the canoes approached. Crows, Pileated Woodpeckers,
one Red-shouldered Hawk and many Carolina Wrens called from the
stream-side trees. A single Turkey Vulture flew overhead.
The Elk River varies in depth from a few inches over gravel beds
to more than 10 feet in deep pools. Finding the correct canoe course
downstream was not too difficult, but around some bends fallen trees
were encountered and proved to be challenging. The few rapids were
fun and fast-flowing. No canoes were overturned. The pickup point six
miles downstream from the input was reached, and Henrietta used her
cell phone to notify the rental people to get the travelers and canoes. It
was a good trip for these experienced canoeists.

16) THE SEWANEE MOUNTAIN MESSENGER Thursday, September 3, 2009
From Bard to Verse
by Scott and Phoebe Bates
Labor Day: Monday, September 7
Moving through the silent crowd
Who stand behind dull cigarettes
These men who idle in the road
I have the sense of falling light.
They lounge at corners of the street
And greet friends with a shrug of shoulder
And turn their empty pockets out,
The cynical gestures of the poor.
Now they’ve no work like better men
Who sit at desks and take much pay;
They sleep long nights and rise at ten
To watch the hours that drain away.
I’m jealous of the weeping hours
They stare through with such hungry eyes.
I’m haunted by these images,
I’m haunted by their emptiness.
