U.S. Postage PAID Sewanee, TN Permit #55 2) THE SEWANEE MOUNTAIN MESSENGER Thursday, September 4, 2008 Letters SINCERELY GRATEFUL To the Editor: Our “Rummage Sale for Change” was a huge success! Through the hard work of more than 30 volunteers before, during and after the sale, we were able to pull off this two-day wonder. The amazing generosity of the folks who donated goods for the sale created a wide variety of merchandise from the practical to the luxurious and all things in between. This was truly a team effort and only through such a collaboration could we have reached such success. The sale raised over $4,500 to be used to increase awareness and visibility of Barack Obama’s campaign for presidency of the United States in our tri-county region and nationally. Many thanks to those who donated items for the sale and to our enthusiastic customers. A heartfelt thank you is extended to the volunteers, who cleaned, scrubbed, publicized, priced, organized, registered voters and provided hospitality. We are lucky to live in such vibrant communities in our corner of the Cumberland Plateau Christi Teasley, Monteagle Arlyn Ende, Sewanee Anne Chenoweth Deutsch, Alto Cumberland Plateau for Obama n SUSTAINABILITY ISSUE To the Editor: I could not agree more with District 4 Annie Armour’s assessment of Sewanee’s chicken situation. Thank goodness Sewanee is blessed with people like this, talented individuals who can so effortlessly think “outside the box.” I ask others to embrace the Sustainability Through Chickens Program, just as I ask others to embrace getting a BMW dealership for Sewanee, for how can Sewanee achieve self-sustainability without both chickens and BMWs? Charles Solie (Sewanee Academy ’70, College ’75), Cowan n FAMILY PICNIC AND OPEN HOUSE HOSPITALITY To the Editor: The PTO board of Sewanee Elementary School (SES) wants to thank everyone involved with the family picnic and open house on Aug. 26. It was a great opportunity to see changes in classrooms, talk with teachers and meet with other parents and children. Over 200 hot dogs, chili dogs and veggie dogs were served, as well as numerous fruit cups and an untold number of potato chips. The board would like to thank Principal Mike Maxon and all our wonderful teachers at SES for their hospitality, Mark Webb and the University’s Athletic Department for loaning us coolers and, especially, Chastity Williams, Lasenia Ladd and Jim Sliger for all their help. School is off to a great start this year! Christopher McDonough for the Sewanee Elementary School PTO Board n SINCERE THANKS Friends, foes and countrymen, I can’t begin to thank you for your cards, messages and especially your prayers. I am now at Vanderbilt Stallworth Hospital’s boot camp with several hours of rehab every day. I look forward to returning to Sewanee soon. Trink Beasley Nashville n OBAMA’S LIFE DEMONSTRATES CHRISTIAN VALUES To the Editor: The Democratic Convention showed us two loving families: one belonging to the United Church of Christ, one to the Roman Catholic Church. Barack Obama and Joe Biden were demonstrating Christian values, not mouthing political catchphrases. All indications are that John McCain will continue the hypocritical policies of Bush. Check this out: McCain voted “no” 19 times when Democrats attempted to raise the minimum wage; see www.politifact.com. At the end of his acceptance Shear Class Hair Design #UMBERLAND3TREET7EST#OWANs !PPOINTMENTSORWALKINSWELCOME ()'(,)'(43!.$0%2-3!30%#)!,49 THE SEWANEE MOUNTAIN MESSENGER speech, Obama said,“At this moment, in this election, we must pledge once more to march into the future. Let us keep that promise—that American promise—and in the words of scripture, hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess.” This reference is from Hebrews 10:23: “Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering.” The end of that verse says, “for he who has promised is faithful.” That is, Jesus is faithful to us. Because Obama is a believing Christian, we can assume he relates this last part of the verse to himself. Jesus will be faithful to him, helping him be faithful to the highest aspirations of our country. The way Obama has lived his life shows that he understands how religion can form a person but not invade government policy. His Christian values called him early into public service, and his record is there for all to see.

Leaseholders who are not employees or retired employees of the University pay an annual ground rent fee to the University, which is 6 percent of the appraised value of the lot, as determined by the F.C. tax assessor. (Lease Policies and Procedures, p. 17: “. . . any time there is a change in a lease, the lease form will be updated and the lease fee adjusted based on the then current tax assessor’s appraisal.”) Haskell said he and fees committee members are concerned that ground rent fees have increased to the degree that non-University employees with moderate incomes, such as teachers, carpenters and artisans, who would like to live on the Domain cannot afford to live here: “Newcomers who have average salaries are discouraged by high rates,” he said. This means that gradually Sewanee’s population will become less diverse, composed primarily of University employees and those who can afford the fees. Haskell said, “Could the 6 percent rate be rolled back to help attract more new people with mid-level incomes?” CFO Forster said that last year the average house on the Domain sold for $207,000, and houses are also available from $50,000 to $150,000 for those with middle or lower incomes. When buyers who are non-University employees purchase houses on the Domain, they pay a one-time lease transfer fee, and their annual ground rent fee is frozen at 6 percent of the current appraised value of the land. Forster said that the land owned and leased by the University is worth approximately $22 million, and the University receives only 2.75 percent of this value from nonemployees. In 2001, there were 151 nonemployees leasing homes on the Domain, and now there are 208. David Bowman, chair of the housing committee, suggested part of the lease policy be reviewed—this stipu- Thursday, September 4, 2008 THE SEWANEE MOUNTAIN MESSENGER (5 lation: after 30 years each leasehold expires, and leaseholders who are not employees of or retirees from the University must pay a revised ground rent of 6 percent of the current appraised land value. Members of his committee are concerned that leaseholders on fixed incomes might be unable to pay the much higher ground rent fee. Stephen Burnett, chair and sole member of the municipal services committee, introduced himself as a retired accountant “from one of the big eight firms specializing in government accounting.” He said he has been reviewing the municipal budget and described it as “complex, a hybrid.” Burnett has discussed with Forster the methodology and rationale for city services and said the average annual payment for Sewanee city services by leaseholders is $482. “By and large, it is pretty good value,” he said. Burnett distributed a summary sheet of his findings, including this information: The total municipal services budget for the fiscal year just ending is $1,239,431; leaseholders paid 18 percent or $217,158, which averages $482 for 450 parcels. The University paid the remaining 82 percent of costs,“based on an analysis and comparison of market values (for improved leaseholds) and replacement values for University buildings.” Forster said that the 18 percent leaseholder/82 percent University division of the municipal cost burden would remain the same this year. Burnett said he will meet with fire, police, EMS and other community services early in September and asked that leaseholders with concerns in these areas e-mail him at <bur [email protected]> or leave written messages at the Sewanee Realty Office, 115 University Ave. Randy Peterson, chair of the garbage and recycling committee, said fees for these services are $24 per month in addition to municipal services fees. Part of the garbage/ recycling fee pays Joe B. Long for pickup, and part goes to Marion County, where he offloads the refuse. Peterson reported that curbside recycling is not being used regularly by many; about half of the leaseholders use this service. Domain Manager Winslow set up a large map on an easel showing the Domain’s four districts so that leaseholders can make sure they know in which district they live. The map will remain at the community center. Superintendent of Leases Schlichting brought copies of “Lease Policies and Procedures” and left them there for anyone who wants a copy. Leaseholders may also phone Kirkland Leonard at 598-1626 to ask for a copy to be mailed or stop by the Lease Office, 110 Carnegie Hall, to pick one up. The next meeting of the Leaseholders’ Association will be on Tuesday, Sept. 30, at 6:30 p.m. at the Senior Citizens’ Center. —Reported by Kathy Hamman Chikamaka Tribe to meet The Chikamaka Band of South Cumberland invites Chikamaka members and Native American Indians of Chikamaka (Chickamauga) Indian descent to the tribe/band’s monthly potluck social the first Saturday of each month.

Yogi Anderson Appointed Head of Scenic Land School Veteran school administrator Herbert “Yogi”Anderson has been named the new head of Scenic Land School in Chattanooga, effective this month. Anderson has 36 years of experience in private school education as a teacher, head coach, camp director, development officer and alumni affairs director. He has served as the senior development officer for the University of the South since 2004, where his responsibilities have included cultivating and soliciting donations for the school’s capital campaign. The campaign recently concluded after raising $205 million dollars, surpassing a $180 million dollar goal. Established in 1966, Scenic Land is a private school serving students preK through eighth grade with learning differences such as dyslexia and attention deficit disorder. Throughout its history the school has been committed to helping students eventually enroll and succeed in mainstream public or private schools. Earlier this year the school experienced financial shortfalls, but vigorous fund-raising efforts and a special lead gift of $1 million have laid the foundation for a substantial endowment and greater financial stability. Anderson’s career in education includes serving as the director of summer programs at Baylor School. In that role he was responsible for managing programs for more than 1,200 children ages 4–15 each summer. Prior to that, he was head of the Alumni Association, head wrestling coach and summer programs coordinator at the University of the South. From 1978 to 1986, he taught English at Notre Dame High School and served as head wrestling coach. In addition, Anderson has served on numerous academic committees at the secondary and university levels, as well as several community volunteer boards. Anderson received a bachelor’s degree from Sewanee in 1972. He and his wife, Joli, live on Signal Mountain and have two grown children and one grandchild.

Shapiro, is Sept. 12–14. The question at the heart of his program is “Will you engage this moment with kindness or with cruelty, with love or with fear, with generosity or with scarcity, with a joyous heart or an embittered one?” Shapiro is an awardwinning author and poet who teaches in the religion department at Middle Tennessee State University. Cost for the retreat is $190 for residential participants (limited space) and $100 for commuters. A one-day workshop, “Poetry as Sacred Space,” will be Wednesday, Sept. 17, 9 a.m.–3 p.m., with Sewanee professor Jennifer Michael. The cost is $50. Michael is professor of English specializing in the English Romantic period. Poets use language to create a world of their own, and for poets such as Rumi, Wordsworth, Hopkins and Hirschfield, this created world is space in which to encounter the divine. The retreat will be informed by Michael’s new book in progress, “Apprehensions of the Sacred: Poetry and Contemplation.” “Prayer in the 21st Century” will take place Sept. 26–28, led by Phyllis Tickle, founding editor of the religion department of Publishers Weekly, author and lecturer. Prayer is the most ancient and universal of human religious practices. Participants will look at how 21st-century technology and science are beginning to inform and expand our understanding of prayer and explore how these insights can be applied to the creation of a richer, more devout prayer life. Cost for the retreat is $220 for residential participants and $130 for commuters.

The board approved an authorization request by SUD Manager Ben Beavers to retain Barton Southern Inc. to repair the Lake Jackson dam, at a cost not to exceed $40,000. Because of the leaking dam, Lake Jackson is losing 100,000 gallons of water per day (gpd). SUD’s daily average water use is 350,000–400,000 gpd. Beavers expects the repair will be complete by the end of October. The board also approved Beavers’ authorization request for early payment of the Water and Sewer Revenue Funding Bonds. The $145,000 balance will be paid from a reserve fund set up as a requirement of the bond issuance in 2001 to consolidate SUD’s debt. Early payment will save SUD $5,500 in interest and free up the remainder of the reserve fund—$50,000—for other district projects. SUD Commissioner Lyle Brecht reported that SUD had received the safe sustainable yield data from Consolidated Technologies, Inc. (CTI), the firm SUD hired to perform a raw water supply study. According to CTI’s calibrations, the district has a safe sustainable yield of 500,000–550,000 gpd. The board voted to accept the CTI study. The study data will be posted on SUD’s website, <http:// sewaneeutility.org>. The safe sustainable yield data will enable the board to proceed with and finalize a long-range strategic plan. The board voted to adopt nine new policies resulting from planning session discussions. A brief description of the new policies follows. Annual Rate Adjustment Policy: Beginning in 2009, SUD will adjust the rates for water and sewer services with a percentage change each year equal to the Annual Southern Consumer Price Index. Who Pays for Growth Policy: To encourage responsible growth, SUD will require new developers to install water and sewer connectors at the developers’ expense and to pay for any improvements to SUD’s system required as a consequence of new connections. Decentralized Wastewater Service Policy: SUD will encourage developers to install decentralized wastewater treatment facilities, and, upon completion, SUD will assume ownership, operation and maintenance of the facilities. Waterline and Sewer Line Extension Policies: SUD will assist homeowners seeking new water or wastewater service by offering materials at the district’s cost. If the workload permits, the service may be installed by the district at the homeowners’ cost. In the case of benefit to SUD, the district may pay for all or part of a water or sewer main extension. Water Meter Change-Out Policy: SUD authorizes the manager to implement a change-out program for all meters in the system. (Changeout of SUD’s large two-inch meters is already underway, and Beavers hopes to have the project completed by fall 2009. Because most of the large meters service dorms and University buildings, the meter replacement must be done during holidays.) Watershed Protection Policy: SUD will work cooperatively with landholders of the watersheds that provide the public water supply for SUD to protect public health and to assure water quality. Regional Cooperation Policy: SUD will participate in regional planning efforts and desires to further those that are cost-effective and meet the needs of the people of the Cumberland Plateau. Creation of an Infrastructure Repair and Replacement Reserve Policy: SUD will create a repair and replacement reserve to provide for future funding of water and wastewater service needs, to forego debt or reduce the amount of debt required for future infrastructure improvements. Surcharge accounts for water and wastewater will be maintained separately. In discussing the reserve policy, Board President Doug Cameron expressed concern that the monthly surcharge added to water and sewer bills to fund the reserve might pose a hardship for some customers. SUD offers Operation Help for customers who need financial assistance with bill payment; Cameron will investigate making this service more effective. Commissioner Brecht will consult with Raftelis Financial Inc. on how to structure the surcharge rate in a manner appropriate to the district’s size, circumstances and customer base. The board also voted to develop a Water Conservation Policy no later than its November 2008 business meeting, with Commissioner Cliff Huffman to lead the initiative, and to approve a Green Commitment Policy, delineating the utility’s intention to “pursue and encourage environmental best practices.” In a related area, the board amended its policy defining the conditions of water and sewer service for developments. The policy stipulates that the water resource development fee would be waived for developers who meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Copia’s Kennels standards for green construction and technology. The policy as amended stipulates that developers who meet LEED “green” standards will receive a discount on the fee. At a working session held that morning, SUD consultant Elmo Lunn talked with the board about why the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) had not yet lifted the moratorium on SUD’s wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). SUD has been in compliance with TDEC regulations since corrective actions were taken; however, Lunn explained, two of the TDEC officials who worked closely with SUD during the corrective action process have left the agency. Lunn will meet with the new officials to ensure they understand the complexities of SUD’s system, which functions by a combination of subsurface soil filtration and vegetative transpiration. Lunn recommended SUD send TDEC a copy of the “master file” detailing all the remedial action taken at the WWTP. The board’s next strategic planning meeting is scheduled for Sept. 23 at 9 a.m. The September business meeting will be held at 5 p.m. the same day.

Our girls will learn from Emily’s playing ability as a Division I player and will benefit from the competitive nature she possesses. The thing that excites me the most is her undeniable love of the game,” said Harrison. Sewanee Realty 931.598.9200 From “Two-Liners Stolen From Others by Joe F.

Hancock is a senior art history major from Paris, Kentucky. Sewanee moved to 2–0 so far in 2008 last weekend with wins over Ohio Wesleyan and Kenyon. Hancock scored four goals on the weekend, including both game-winning goals in the two games. In 2007, she played in all 16 games, scoring seven goals and adding an assist. “Lynn did an excellent job of finding the goal this weekend,” commented head coach Jen Baldaccini. “The combination of placing herself in the right spots and her excellent stick-work allowed her to break free from defenders and give herself enough time to shoot the ball.” Sewanee’s next competition will be against Rhodes and Hendrix on the Mountain in two weeks.

The object of this trip was to enjoy the birds that flock to famous Little Elder Island. Double-crested Cormorants Great Egret At the boat-launching ramp, a pair of Killdeer flew up. As the naturalists motored towards the island, Double-crested Cormorants were flying overhead toward their roosting trees, and Black Terns were seen resting on buoys when they were not flying overhead. This tern can be all black or mixed black and white, depending on the season. Later, Common Terns, white with darker primary wing feathers, forked tails, small black caps and orange bills, were flying high, as were the whiter Forster’s Terns. When the small, tree-covered island was reached, the bird experts were greeted with noises—growls, grunts, honks, etc. The racket was made by many Double-crested Cormorants, Cattle Egrets, Great Blue Herons, mature Little Blue Herons and tall white Great Egrets. Great Egrets are notable for their yellow bills, black legs and large size. One Black-Crowned Night Heron was there, and an Osprey was flying in the sky. Common Crows and perhaps some Fish Crows were scavenging this rookery. Two unidentified ducks arrived—perhaps Wood Ducks, Blue-winged Teals or Mallards—but the birds’ features were difficult to see. One Yellow Warbler appeared in the dead trees. On previous trips, these observers had seen two Yellow Warblers resting on the island. A flock of Canada Geese was honking in flight nearby. The Swants were wonderful hosts on this and previous trips. Local photographer Lyn Hutchinson took the picture at right of a Red-shouldered Hawk on the gutter of All Saints’ Chapel. It is hoped there is a nest nearby. 7EST-AIN3TREETs-ONTEAGLE4. (/-% &!8 WWWSMOKEHOUSEREALTYCOM EMAILKIMO REALTRACSCOM HOMES FOR SALE Tracy City REDUCED!

The grayling aleap in the river, The bighorn asleep on the hill. The strong life that never knows harness; The wilds where the caribou call; The freshness, the freedom, the farness— O God! how I’m stuck on it all. The winter! The brightness that blinds you, The white land locked tight as a drum, The cold fear that follows and finds you, The silence that bludgeons you dumb. The snows that are older than history, The woods where the weird shadows slant; The stillness, the moonlight, the mystery, I’ve bade ’em good-by—but I can’t. There’s a land where the mountains are nameless, And the rivers all run God knows where; There are lives that are erring and aimless, And deaths that just hang by a hair; There are hardships that nobody reckons; There are valleys unpeopled and still; There’s a land—oh, it beckons and beckons, And I want to go back—and I will. ..... —From “The Spell of the Yukon” (1907) by Robert Service We’re glad you’re reading the Messenger!
