CAC OFFERS THANKSTo the Editor:
On behalf of the Communit y Action Committee (CAC), I would like to thank all who made the fi rst annual Hunger Walk such a huge suc-cess. It was Rotary Club president John Goodson’s vision and the hard work of so many volunteers that made this amazing event possible.
The weather cooperated, 20 0 people registered for the walk, the food was outstanding, and live music added to the celebration of the day. It is our hope that we raised awareness of food insecurity that exists in our community. Together we can make a diff erence. Your participation in the Hunger Walk means you already have. With deep gratitude.

SUD Reallocates
Budget Funds
by Leslie Lytle, Messenger Staff Writer
At the April 28 meeting of the Board of Commissioners of the Se-wanee Utility District of Franklin and Marion Counties, the board approved SUD Manager Ben Beavers’ request to reallocate funds in the 2015 capital improvements budget. Th e board also responded to two customer requests for bill adjustments.
In keeping with Beavers’ recom-mendation, lift station rehabilitation was deferred until 2016, and funds designated for a water reuse study and for infl ow and infi ltration repair were reduced. The freed-up funds will enable SUD to pay for a pressure boosting station in Midway and sewer system inspection and cleaning by the fi rm Sani-Tech.
Sani-Tech will inspect manholes, clean sewer lines and inspect sewer lines via closed circuit television for damage. Two-thirds of SUD’s sewer lines have already been inspected by a video camera. Inspecting the remain-ing 22,000 feet will enable SUD to determine which sections of line most need repair. Inf low and infiltration of water into SUD’s aging sewer lines increases SUD’s wastewater treatment costs. In March, infl ow and infi ltration accounted for nearly three-fourths of the wastewater SUD treated.
Th e board reviewed two customer requests for bill adjustments. Accord-ing to SUD’s adjustment policy, when a leak occurs between the meter and the residence foundation, SUD will reduce the customer’s bill by half. The policy limits customers to one adjustment every three years and a lifetime total of three adjustments. Unaccounted-for leaks do not qualify for an adjustment.
One customer applying for an adjustment was denied because he received an adjustment two years ago. Th e other customer had no explana-tion for the 72,000 gallons of water used during her absence, resulting in a $700 bill. A plumber found no sign of leaks, and the water meter tested as accurate.
The customer’s children visited the house every other day during her absence and observed no sign of excess water use. A water hose left on or a run-ning toilet could account for the high usage, Beavers said.
“Unless there is some compelling evidence the meter is wrong, it’s very diffi cult for us to forgive a bill,” com-missioner Ken Smith said.
Forestry professor Scott Torreano updated the board on the trial wet-lands slated for construction at the SUD wastewater treatment plant in conjunction with a research project undertaken jointly by the Univer-sity of the South and the University of Georgia. Student interns will begin collecting data in late May, Torreano said. Th e interns will be required to sign a waiver defining liability and site use restrictions. Torreano recom-mended Beavers contact the Univer-sity att orney if SUD had stipulations to add to the waiver.
The next meeting of the SU D board is scheduled for May 19, a week earlier than usual to avoid conf licts posed by Memorial Day.

Second Harvest
Partners with Walmart
Walmart has launched a new cam-paign, “Fight Hunger, Spark Change,” to help food banks across the United States, including Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. Th e cam-paign runs through Sunday, May 3.
One in si x people in A merica struggles with hunger at some point during the year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Hunger is a nationwide problem with local implications in every community.
Second Harvest announced the annual “Map the Meal Gap” results in April, which revealed that 5,840 indi-viduals in Franklin County, including 2,200 children, are food insecure. Franklin County’s food insecurity rate of 14.3% increased by 0.4% year over year, and the child food insecurity rate of 24.8% decreased by 0.2%.
Th ere are three ways the public can participate in the eff ort:
1. Take a picture of six friends who share a commitment to fi ght hunger. Th en, post it on Facebook, Instagram or Twitt er with the hashtag #WeSpark-Change. For each public post Walmart will donate $10, up to a maximum donation of $1.5 million, to Feeding America/Second Harvest.
2. Walmart customers can pur-chase one of 240 participating prod-ucts in Walmart stores, and the sup-plier will make a donation to help Feeding America and Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee.
3. Walmart customers can make a donation on behalf of Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee at the register during checkout.
Th is is Walmart’s tenth year part-nering with Feeding America nation-ally to fight against hunger and the second annual “Fight Hunger. Spark Change” campaign.

Senior Center NewsADASHOFSPICE

To the Sewanee class of 2015:We oft en speak about political matt ers by using the analogy of the
body. Diverse thinkers, including Plato, St. Paul, Shakespeare and Hobbes, have described human society in anatomical terms for cen-turies, and the metaphor of the body politic is so pervasive that we are almost always unconscious of it being used. President Obama is our “head of state”; we might say Joe Biden is his “right-hand man”; and the very word “constitution” denotes the organization of our government, as well as the health of our own bodies.
Just because we think and talk this way so oft en does not make the body politic a cliché. Au contraire, it is vitally useful, and frankly I’m not sure how else I could speak the things I’m feeling right now as we conclude another year of academic life in Sewanee.
We are members of the University, and that is an important thing: Th e word “member” denotes in more than one sense a part of the human body, the real thing made of fl esh and blood, our physical presence in the world that bumps into all kinds of other bodies, that is as subject to pain as to pleasure, and will one day die and decompose and become food for millions of other living things with their own vulnerable bodies.
Membership also involves activity: the purpose of the stomach is to digest, of legs to walk. In the case of a school it is necessary that the activity of most of its members—you, its students—is missionary. Th e typical student is educated and formed in Sewanee for life elsewhere, for a lifelong mission to serve humanity in all kinds of ways: as doctors, lawyers, priests, teachers, cooks, musicians and innumerable other vocations. At the end of the graduation ceremonies on May 10, the vice-chancellor will charge graduating seniors with the explicit commission: “Chosen and now honored youths, see to it that you bear yourselves with uprightness and integrity, to the glory of God, to the honor of the state, and to the good name of this University. Farewell, and may God bless you.” Th rough your membership, Iuvenes dilecti et exornati [chosen and now honored youths], Sewanee works in a multitude of places across the whole world.
Th ere are other members of this community, though, whose missions and vocations tie them to this place: professors, administrators, workers in the dining hall and dormitories. And as one such member still here aft er being given that charge two years ago at my own graduation, I want to say something:
We will miss you.When you pass through those gates on your way out of the Domain
aft er graduation, even though campus looks deserted, there are still a few of us here. In those days I have felt like an amputee with phantom pains in limbs—members—that aren’t there. Th ere are spaces that should hold your bodies: choir stalls in All Saints’ Chapel, rocking chairs on porches, bleachers at the football fi eld, desks in classrooms, fraternity house lawns. But in the fi rst days aft er Commencement, all those spaces seem empty and aching. Sewanee becomes peaceful, but vague, fl att ened and quiet: everything seems disembodied.
But I say only “seems” and not “is.” I will try to console myself. In Se-wanee the eyes still see, and the tongue still tastes, the ears hear, and the heart beats. Your physical separation from us is painful, but not mortal. For those of you who fi nd it painful to leave, know this: we are a body with wounds and scars, suff ering for the moment, but we are still alive and—through you—reaching out to embrace the whole world.
of Pam Byerly, John Flynn, Barbara Schlicting, Th eresa Shackelford and John Swallow will address redrawing district boundaries to equalize popu-lation distribution, electing at-large representatives, and possibly reducing term lengths from four to two years.
The council approved meeting dates for 2015–16, scheduling regular meetings for Aug. 31, Oct. 16, Jan. 25, Mar. 28 and May 23. On non-meeting months, a day was reserved for a meet-ing if community issues dictated a need.
Communit y members recom-mended new signage at two locations, a blue “Hospital” sign at the entrance to Emerald Hodgson Hospital and a “Trucks Entering Highway” sign at the junction of Hwy. 41A and Finney Lane. Sewanee police chief Marie Eldridge will contact the Franklin County Highway Department about these requests.
Updating the council on recycling and trash collection concerns, Michael Gardner the University’s director of physical plant services, said the University’s goal is to adopt single-stream recycling, where the recycling items do not require sorting. In doing so, however, it may make it necessary to have separate vendors for residential and University trash collection.
Franklin County Solid Waste Man-agement does not off er single-stream recycling, Gardner said, and there are no Franklin County vendors that off er the service. Gardner said discus-sion was underway with four vendors, including the current service provider, Joe B. Long.
Gardner plans to have a contract proposal at the next council meeting scheduled for June 22.

Th e DUFF 7:30 p.m. • Friday–Sunday, May 1–3 2015 • PG-13 • 101 minutes
A “My Fair Lady” for the teens of the 21st century, this comedy revolves around the inevitable truth that everyone in high school needs to fi nd a way to accept themselves and one another to survive the brutal social scene. Despite being everything to the contrary, Bianca (Mae Whitman) learns from a brutally honest jock, Wes-ley, that she is a “DUFF” in her group of friends, which stands for Designated Ugly Fat Friend. Having been a DUFF myself during my teen years, I can understand Bianca’s outrage when it is laid so bare to her. As she begins looking at photos of her and her friends, she sees that she is not conventionally prett y and doesn’t dress as well as her counterparts. Bianca makes a deal with Wesley to help her get out of the DUFF zone before she graduates. But instead of becoming popular for her looks, she becomes popular for her enlightened understanding: While it is a positive thing to improve yourself, what is even bett er is staying true to the essence of who you are and helping eradicate the ruthless labels that we impose on one another. Rated PG-13 for crude and sexual material throughout, some language and partying, this fi lm is appropriate for teenagers, older adults and families of older children.

LOOKSATBOOKSby Pat Wiser for Friends of duPont Library
Soon the January freeze and April showers (i.e., downpours) will be a distant memory. Soon we’ll all be kvetching about the heat, fl eeing to shade and icy drinks. What books will enhance your escape? A few ideas from my list:
For early morning coff ee on the front porch, I’m saving Nashville writer Ann Patchett ’s collection of previously published essays, “Th is is the Story of a Happy Marriage.” Tempting off erings include the prolifi c author’s account of her childhood struggle with reading. I did enjoy a vivid account of her learning to scale a six-foot wall for Los Angeles Police Academy try-outs in “Th e Wall.” In reality, the essay’s subject is the warmth and pride shared with her father, a longtime policeman. Th e strong father-daughter bond was revealed yet again, sadly, in Patchett ’s February newspaper commentary describing regular fl ights to California during her dad’s last days.
George Hodgman’s memoir, “Bett yville,” will appeal to anyone who has been a parent’s caregiver (or just likes interesting personal narra-tive). Moving in with his mother started as a visit for her 91st birthday; the freelance editor from Manhatt an decided to stay aft er observing her condition. Th e crisp prose chronicle of a new life in his small Missouri hometown and loving, exasperated portrait of his indomitable mother promise absorbing reading.
Aft er missing Richard Louv’s Trails & Trilliums keynote address, I was pleased that duPont Library has two copies of “Last Child in the Woods: Saving our Children from Nature-Defi cit Disorder.” Reviewers say that Louv pulls together new research on positive eff ects of time in the natural world for today’s “wired generation.” His practical, simple suggestions will be helpful as we entice children from iPads to outdoors.
In the midst of fun on lakes and trails, I’ll be discreet with my own screen time, as I sneakily revisit the PBS “Masterpiece” adaptation of Hil-ary Mantel’s fact-fi ction piece of 16th-century English history. Th e TV series uses the fi rst title of her trilogy, “Wolf Hall” and includes material from the second, “Bring up the Bodies.” Th e third book will be released later this year. Writing largely from the perspective of Th omas Cromwell, the enigmatic adviser to Henry VIII, Mantel creatively fi lls in blanks about a fi gure who lacks his king’s historical documentation. DuPont Library off ers both books, and DVDs are on early order. Announce plans to abandon family and chores before you dive in.
July 14 brings the release of Harper Lee’s novel, “Go Set a Watchman.” Writt en before “To Kill a Mockingbird,” it is set 20 years later, with the grown-up Scout visiting her aging father, Att icus. When editors rejected this book and convinced Lee to develop its fl ashbacks of Scout’s child-hood, she produced “Mockingbird.” Released in 1960, it is her only pub-lished novel to date. When publicity for the fi rst work appeared last year, fears of coercion generated public debate about the writer’s competence. I was among the dubious until State of Alabama investigators concluded that the frail writer is fully able to authorize publication. As we’d expect, distributors report record-breaking pre-orders.
For children’s summer reading, watch for an upcoming issue with great ideas from local librarians, teachers and parents.

Th at connection between artists and fairgoers makes fi nding that special something even more memorable.”

For the fi rst 50 minutes the match remained scoreless with both teams plac-ing eight shots on frame. Cascade scored the winning goal on a quick counter att ack with eight minutes left in the match. Despite falling short the Mountain Lions fought hard throughout and continued to show progress as a team. Goal-keeper Larson Heitzenrater made some spectacular saves and played hard in his last middle school match alongside his classmates John Beavers, Spencer David and Alexander Milford.
“It has been a privilege to coach this team,” said coach Margot Burns. “We struggled to fi nd the back of the net, but showed progress throughout the season and showed real character when confronted with defeat.”

Riverside Christian
Th e St. Andrew’s-Sewanee Moun-tain Lions traveled to play the Knights of Riverside Christian Academy on April 24 and defeated the host team 7-3. Casey Willis pitched a complete game, allowing two earned runs while striking out seven.
SAS opened the game loading the bases on singles by Riley Rhoton, Levi Higgins and Sam Th omas aft er two outs, but were unable to score. The Knights countered in their half of the fi rst inning with two runs on two hits and an error.
The Mountain Lions came back in the second inning, as Blaise Zeitler continued his hot hitt ing by opening the inning with a single and advanced to second on an error. Charlie Jenkins followed with a R BI single and ad-vanced to third on an error.
Willis walked, before Briar Sain produced a sacrifice R BI to tie the score. Rhoton and Higgins were hit by pitches to load the bases and two consecutive wild pitches scored both. Th omas and Christian Hanger coaxed walks, before Higgins scored on an-other wild pitch. SAS batt ed a round to make the score 5-2.
Th e Knights threatened again in the third inning, when Willis walked the leadoff batt er, but he was erased on an attempted steal on a perfect throw from SAS catcher Rhoton. Th e next Knights’ batt ers had a single and a walk before a fielder’s choice pro-duced the second out. With runners at second and third, the batt er lined what appeared to be a two-run single, before Thomas made a spectacular diving grab.
“Sam’s play absolutely was the defensive play of the year thus far and was a game changer,” said coach James Barry. “We have talked to our players about defense being a key and work on diving drills during practice.”
SAS added a single run in the sixth inning, as Willis singled and stole second and third before Rhoton hit an RBI single.
SA S extended the lead in the seventh, when Higgins singled, and Th omas walked. Hanger put down a sacrifi ce bunt to advance the runners, before Higgins scored on a fi elder’s choice.
“I thought our team came out aft er the opening inning and made a state-ment,” Barry said. “RCA is undefeated in their conference, and we knew this would be a close contest.”

Smokies Spring Wildfl ower PilgrimageYolande and Robin Gott fried report that they saw six of the 10 spe-

“Yellow trillium was everywhere, more or less fi lling the niche that Litt le Sweet Betsy does in our area. Th ere was also the Sweet White tril-lium with large fl owers on a stalk above quite large leaves—dinner plate size, sometimes. At higher elevations it was replaced with the white form of Wakerobin or Stinking Willy, with smaller, less cup-shaped fl owers. Also at higher elevations was the lovely Painted trillium, white with a red splash at the base of the petals, a northern species at the southern end of its range. Another treat was Vasey’s trillium, large with a nodding deep red fl ower below the whorl of leaves. Th e Large-fl owered white trillium, same as in Shakerag, was there, too.
“Heading up to 5,000 feet at Newfound Gap was like going back in time to early spring. Th e slopes were white with abundantly blooming Carolina silverbells and some Allegheny serviceberry, a diff erent species from the one in our area. On the ground were masses of white fringed phacelia, a tiny winter annual that puts on quite a show at that time of year.
“Of course, photographers were beating a path, literally, to any Yellow Lady Slippers, and we saw some lovely specimens of those, plus the oc-casional showy orchids. For fern lovers, there was the dwarf bristle fern on the ‘ceiling’ of a rock crevice, also sheltering lovely liverworts and mountain saxifrage, and on the trail further up that slope, maidenhair spleenwort. Th e intermediate wood fern was one of the most common ferns in the park, where we would fi nd marginal wood fern in our area. Th e names refer to the position of the spore-bearing structures on the underside of the fronds.
“Th e abundance and variety of wildfl owers, of course, defy coverage in this space. Go and see if you ever get the chance,” the Gott frieds said.
Nesting Red-Shouldered Hawks On April 24, Laura Willis reports that she was dive-bombed by a
Red-Shouldered Hawk when she was gett ing too near the hawk’s nest, which must contain newly born chicks.
Th e Red-Shouldered Hawks have nested in the Willis yard for more than a decade. It is impossible to tell if it is the same pair of hawks each year, but the hawks have been in their current nest for more than a dozen years. It is located about 60 feet up, in a white oak tree; even from the ground, the nest looks huge. Th roughout the year, the hawks hunt in the stream located near the nest and along the edge of Running Knob Hollow Lake.
On this recent siting, the hawk was perched on the edge of the nest mid-morning. Willis reports, “With a camera in hand, I walked down our driveway, gett ing closer and closer to the nest, taking pictures. I watched the pair of raptors move in and out of the nest, calling in their distinctive, loud voice. I love these hawks and was happy to see them out and active.
“One hawk seemed to be ‘talking’ to me (anthropomorphism, I know). She sounded so close, when ... SWOOOSH!!!! She fl ew at me, her wings fl apping right near my head. I could feel her glide past me. She was talking to me: Leave my nest alone!
“Primal fear propelled me up to the house. I went inside, pulled on a dark ball cap (thinking that would camoufl age me) and went back in the front yard to pull weeds. I heard the hawks talking in the distance and was happily clearing the yard, when SWOOOSH!!!!! Th e hawk fl ew right near my head again! I went inside for the rest of the day.”
A few days later, on April 29, Willis reports that she observed (from a safe distance) one of the hawks perched on the side of the nest, bending over as if grooming or feeding small chicks.

Twenty people came out to pull garlic mustard around and below Morgan’s Steep on April 26. College students and community members joined together to make this the Sewanee Herbarium’s most successful garlic mustard pull to-date. About 20 bags of the invasive weed (pictured above) were hauled away by physical plant services, who burned the plants, for which the Herbarium is grateful.

Th en came fair May, the fayrest mayd on ground,Dekt all with dainties of her season’s pride,And throwing fl owers out of her lap around:Upon two brethren’s shoulders she did ride,Th e twinnes of Leda; which on either sideSupported her, like their soveraine queen.Lord! how all creatures laughed, when her they spideAnd leapt and daunc’t as they had ravisht beene!And Cupid self about her fl utt ered all in greene.
