Council Approves Garbage Contract with Long Resolution on Quarry and Bylaw Revision Pending by Leslie Lytle, Messenger Staff Writer At the May 21 meeting, the Sewanee Community Council approved a four- year contract for garbage service with Joe B. Long. e council deferred a vote on a resolution defining the Council’s position on a proposed rock quarry in the Greenhaw community and on a bylaw revision altering residence require- ments for council members. Providing background on garbage collection in Sewanee, University chief financial officer Jerry Forster said Joe B. Long, who has provided the service for many years, reduced his rate last year from $24.85 to $22 per month to remain competitive with a bidder based in Winchester. Long agreed to keep the rate at $22 for the coming year and proposed a $.75 per year increase in July of 2013, 2014 and 2015. Aſter discussion, the Council approved a four-year contract at the fi xed rate that Long requested for the next two years, with the rate in the third and fourth year subject to negotiation. Council representative Chet Seigmund proposed that low-income residents not be charged for garbage collection. Vice- Chancellor John McCardell said the possible impact of that policy on other services needed to be considered. Representative eresa Shackelford said the Community Action Commiee oſten addressed the needs of low-income residents. e council will take up the issue again at the June meeting. Council representative Annie Armour presented a resolution supporting “the efforts of the Greenhaw community to prevent Tinsley Company from constructing a rock quarry and asphalt plant in Greenhaw.” [See adjacent story.] Representative Michael Hurst expressed concern that too lile was known about what measures the Greenhaw community was taking to prevent the construc- tion. Vice-Chancellor McCardell echoed Hurst’s position, saying it was not clear from the resolution what the Council was supporting. Provost John Swallow will convene a commiee composed of Armour and council representative Keep Greenhaw Green Fights Rock Quarry People living along Greenhaw Road, near Decherd and the Alto com- munity, are fighting plans for a rock quarry on 181 acres acquired by the owner of Tinsley Asphalt Company. e area is west of the Domain in the valley, between Old Alto Road and Highway 41A. On July 19, a vote will be held to determine whether to strip-annex the land to the city of Decherd in order for it to be rezoned as industrial to allow for the quarry. e only Decherd residents who will be allowed to vote are two members of the Tinsley family. A group of residents who own prop- erty adjacent to the quarry site has filed a temporary restraining order to halt the July election. Circuit Judge J. Curtis Smith postponed making a decision at the “show cause hearing” about the restraining order on May 30. Statewide Organizing for Com- munity eMpowerment (SOCM) members joined Greenhaw Road residents when they formed the Keep Greenhaw Green Coalition to coordi- nate a sustained campaign opposing the quarry. e group has been active since 2010 and will continue to fight plans for the quarry. SOCM members and residential groups are concerned, not only about the disregard for fair processes that is occurring in Decherd, with only members of the Tinsley David Coe to revise the resolution for the June meeting. e Council approved that Hurst serve as election officer for the coming year. Swallow proposed a resolution to the Council’s bylaws about the residential requirements of council members. Currently, the bylaws state that council representatives need to reside in the district for which they seek election. Due to a misunderstand- ing, Hurst was elected to serve as a District 1 representative, although he resides in District 4. To enable Hurst to continue to serve in District 1, Swallow proposed the bylaw be revised to read, “ A person seeking election as a district representative must live in the district or on either side of a boundary street.” e Council will vote on the bylaws revision in June. Citing an incident where a resi- dent’s dog was mangled by strays, Seigmund questioned what measures could be taken to prevent such occur- rences.

THANK YOU FROM SESTo the Editor:
To our parents and the myriad of volunteers, “Thank you for another successful school year.” It is you who make Sewanee Elementary School such a special place for our children. From our Friday School volunteers, reading tutors, science fair judges, Partners in Education, to our parent volunteers and coaches, we wouldn’t be SES without you.
To quote from the last line of the SES A lma Mater, “Friends forever, learning ever, SES all hail.” We are truly a community of learners. I con-sider myself most fortunate to be part of the team.”

MANY MADE RA M A SUCCESSTo the Editor:
We would l ike to ex press our profound gratitude to all who served in the R AM clinic held in Sewanee May 19–20. Th e clinic was an extraor-dinary event that brought together more than 100 people from our com-munity to work with RA M and other volunteers to provide much-needed dental, vision and medical services to our neighbors.
Under the direction of Ty Wilkin-son, members of the county health councils, the Sewanee community, and University staff participated in months of planning and preparation.
Twenty-fi ve Sewanee students, led
by Dixon Myers, returned to campus after classes had ended to help set up, work and break down the clinic. Volunteers rose well before dawn and worked 13-hour shift s. Th ey spent the night in parking lots to greet patients as they arrived, shutt led patients to the Fowler Center, and registered them for services beginning at 5:30 a.m. Others worked in triage, the vision, dental and medical clinics, and guided patients through stations.
Many helped Chef R ick Wright and Sarah Gunn serve healthy deli-cious meals to more than 200 volun-teers. Th e Sewanee Police Department coordinated securit y throughout the weekend, which passed without incident.
All of this was made possible by a University administration that enthu-siastically supported the idea.
In the end, more than 500 patients were served, many our neighbors, coworkers and family of children w ith whom our k ids play and at-tend school. What started out as a “project” unfolded as a gift . We were overwhelmed by the gratitude shown by patients and gratifi ed to share this experience with those whose paths don’t normally cross our own. We recognized the needs of our neighbors and worked closely together as only a true community can. So, thank you to all for making this clinic a success. We were humbled and privileged to work alongside you.

Sewanee Utility District of Franklin and Marion Counties Water Quality Report 2011Is my drinking water safe? Yes, our water meets all of EPA’s health standards. We have conducted numerous tests for over 80 contaminants that may be in drinking water. As you’ll see in the chart below, we detected only 11 of these contaminants. We found all of these contaminants at safe levels.
What is the source of my water?Your water, which is surface water, comes from Lakes O’Donnell and Jackson. Our goal is to protect our water from contaminants and we are working with the State to determine the vulnerability of our water source to potential contamination. The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) has prepared a Source Water Assessment Program (SWAP) Report for the untreated water sources serving this water system. The SWAP Report assesses the susceptibility of untreated water sources to potential contamination. To ensure safe drinking water, all public water systems treat and routinely test their water. Water sources have been rated as reasonably susceptible, moderately susceptible or slightly susceptible based on geologic factors and human activities in the vicinity of the water source. The Sewanee Utility District of Franklin and Marion Counties (SUD) sources rated as slightly susceptible to potential contamination.An explanation of Tennessee’s Source Water Assessment Program, the Source Water Assessment summaries, susceptibility scorings and the overall TDEC report to EPA can be viewed online at www.state.tn.us/environment/dws/dwassess.shtml, or you may contact the Water Syst
Why are there contaminants in my water?Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. Community water systems are required to disclose the detection of contaminants; however, bottled water companies are not required to comply with this regulation. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). For more information about your drinking water, please call Water Superintendent James Smartt at 598-5201. Este informe contiene información muy importante. Tradúscalo o hable con alguien que lo entienda bien.
How can I get involved?
Management Review Board of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation pursuant to Section 7-82-703 (7) of Tennessee Code Annotated. You can also visit our website, <www.sewaneeutility.org>, for more information.
Is our water system meeting other rules that govern our operations? The State and EPA require us to test and report on our water on a regular basis to ensure its safety. We have met all of these requirements. Results of unregulated contaminant analysis are available upon request. We want you to know that we pay attention to all the rules.
Other InformationThe sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.Contaminants that may be present in source water:
· Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.· Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production,
mining, or farming.· Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff and residential uses.· Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations,
urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.· Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation prescribe regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. SUD’s water treatment processes are designed to reduce any such substances to levels well below any health concern. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.Due to all water containing dissolved contaminants, occasionally your water may exhibit slight discoloration. We strive to maintain the standards to prevent this. We at SUD work around the clock to provide top quality water to every tap. We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life and our children’s future.
Do I need to take special precautions?Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice from their health care providers about not only their drinking water, but food preparation, personal hygiene, and precautions in handling infants and pets. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
Lead in Drinking WaterIf present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The Sewanee Utility District is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components.
concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at <www.epa.gov/safewater/lead>.
Water System SecurityFollowing the events of September 2001, we realize that our customers are concerned about the security of their drinking water. We urge the public to report any suspicious activities at any utility facilities,
Water Quality DataWhat does this chart mean?
MCLG: Maximum Contaminant Level Goal, or the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. MCL: Maximum Contaminant Level, or the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated constituents, a person would have to drink 2 liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect.MRDL: Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level: the highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for the control of microbial contaminants.MRDLGcontrol microbial contaminants.BDL: Below Detection Level: laboratory analysis indicates that the contaminant is not present at a level that can be detected.
AL: Action Level, or the concentration of a contaminant which, when exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.
Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l): explained as a relation to time and money as one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000.
Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter: explained as a relation to time and money as one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000.
NTU: Nephelometric Turbidity Unit: nephelometric turbidity unit is a measure of the clarity of water. Turbidity in excess of 5 NTU is just noticeable to the average person.
TT: Treatment Technique, or a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.
During the most recent round of Lead and Copper testing, 0 out of 20 households sampled contained concentrations exceeding the action level.1 100% of our samples were below the turbidity limit.
2 Infants and young children are typically more vulnerable to lead in drinking water than the general population. It is possible that lead levels at your home may be higher than at other homes in the community as a result of materials used in your home’s plumbing. If you are concerned about elevated lead levels in your home’s water, you may wish to have your water tested and
available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).3 Nitrate in drinking water at levels above 10 ppm is a health risk for infants of less than six months of age. High nitrate levels in drinking water can cause blue baby syndrome. Nitrate levels may rise quickly for short periods of time because of rainfall or agricultural activity. If you are caring for an infant you should ask advice from your health care provider.4 While your drinking water meets EPA’s standard for trihalomethanes, it does contain low levels. Some people who drink water containing trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidneys, or central nervous system, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer. 5 We have met all treatment technique requirements for Total Organic Carbon removal.

AVIEWFROMTHEDUMP
by Francis Walter
I have salvaged three items from the Dump, not counting the big tin cans I use for cleaning paint brushes.
One is a roll of fence wire which is endlessly useful. Th e other two are a cast-iron frying pan and a cast-iron Dutch oven from the “Tin and Steel” bin. Th e frying pan took a lot of work with a steel brush, then a fresh curing. I gave the Dutch oven to friends who will not cook in aluminum.
Th e “Tin and Steel” bin, my favorite, is always the last place I visit. Some day I may even fi nd there a 1930s Diehl oscillating electric fan with brass blades, just like my grandmother’s.
Th ere is now a sign on that bin telling people not to walk into it. One side is open, leaving three sides closed, and the sides are tall. If you are inside rooting around and someone innocently throws some metal over a high side, you could get hurt. I only go in aft er checking to see that no one is approaching.
Walking to my pickup truck one day with a trifl ing thing I’d salvaged, someone called out in a helpful tone, “You bett er watch it. You’re not sup-posed to do that.”
He directed me to a new posting on the bulletin board att ached to the small house the Dump manager uses. It bore the full authority of Franklin County declaring that, like Hades, anything could come into the Dump, but no Orpheus should try to take anything out.
Th is was a Rule. Serious.Th row a rule at me, and it enters my soul. But I heard myself telling my
fellow dumpster that I would disobey that rule the minute I saw something I or a friend could use.
Let them arrest me. I will fi ght.

A visitor expressed concern about the job security of employees at the Sewanee Market since the University has purchased the business. Forster said the business was leased through December and aft er that time, on a month-by-month basis. Th e University, Forster said, had no voice in hiring or fi ring employees at the present. Future use of the Market is being reviewed by the urban planners who will make a recommendation later this year.

family being allowed to vote, but also the environmental destruction the quarry could cause.
“This area offers a plethora of spectacular places to hike, cave, fi sh, hunt and breathe fresh air in quiet surroundings,” SOCM member Philip Lorenz said. “It also has its share of lower income residents struggling to make ends meet. But the last thing Franklin County needs is another quarry, especially when it is being railroaded down people’s throats, and leaving the residents of Greenhaw with no way to have a fair say over their part of the community.”
B everly Ca mpbel l-Mea ker, a SOCM member who lives in Decherd, said she was worried that the approval of a quarry on Greenhaw Road would represent a setback for her community.
“I feel it will destroy the good works that have gone into building up the community, as well as being a trashy and unsightly eyesore in what is now a beautiful natural area,” Campbell-Meaker said. “I am sure there are already resources available for obtain-ing rocks, gravel and such without destroying this part of the Greenhaw community.”
Georgia Hewitt , a SOCM member in the nearby community of A lto, questioned the w isdom of indus-trial activity in this corner of Franklin County, especially when weighed against the potential damage to the environment and the standard of living for people in the area.
“I believe it is a guise for greed and market domination at the cost of our local watersheds and quality of life,” Hewitt said. “I would never live near a quarry. I would fear for the stability of the land, the noise and the negative eff ect on livestock and crops.”
ILIKETO WATCH
by Kiki Beavers
ReunionTh ere are moments that come along and defi ne your life. It could be
something as simple as a line from a book, a verse from a song, or a scene from a movie that takes you back to a specifi c place and a time. Usually, these “aha” moments make me think of old friends, and how people have come in and out of my life.
Molly, Linda, Sue, Allison, Kim and I were inseparable at school. We were roommates, teammates and classmates. Th e six of us went through everything together. We played rousing games of backgammon and spades. We consoled each other through hardships and stupid boy troubles. We could talk to each other as best friends, sisters and competitors. During school breaks, we went to Molly’s or to Kim’s house for a visit. Th e six of us were a family, and Sewanee Academy was our home.
It was during our junior year when the fi nal talks and the subsequent merger of the two boarding schools on the Mountain happened. Although I disagreed with the idea, the reality was that two boarding schools could not be sustained on the Mountain.
Instead of being worried about tests, college applications and SAT dates, we wondered from which school would we graduate during that tumultuous year. Together with other students, and some alumni and faculty, we tried to make our voice heard opposing the merger. We called school trustees. We wrote lett ers. We att ended meetings. We strategized over the lunch table. We fought back with everything a group of teenagers could come up with. We tried to save our school family and our home.
A couple of weeks aft er the merger was approved, the six of us sat in a movie theatre watching “Taps.” Th e movie stars Timothy Hutt on (who earned a Golden Globe nomination for his portrayal of Cadet Major Mo-reland), and Tom Cruise and Sean Penn at the beginning of their movie careers. “Taps” was considered a teen drama, but Oscar winners George C. Scott (“Patt on”) and Hutt on (“Ordinary People”) are in leading roles. Th e movie is beautifully fi lmed, and one can already see the movie-star promise in Penn.
“Taps” is about honor, tradition and fi ghting back. In the movie, the military academy is going to be closed so that condominiums can be built on the site. Th e cadets take matt ers into their own hands to try and stop the demolition, and they have to face the real military during the siege.
“We have a home here. We think it is something worth defending,” Moreland says in the fi lm.
Watching this movie helped us reconcile the hopelessness of our situ-ation. Sometimes you get to choose your path, and sometimes your path is chosen for you. We felt helpless when life decisions were made that were beyond our control, and wanted to do something to stop it. Not that we would have resorted to pick up arms and fi ght that way, but it felt good to consider another option through watching the fi lm. Th is was our home, and we were right to defend it.
Five of us went to another school for our senior year, St. Mary’s College in Raleigh. Molly stayed here to att end the newly merged school. Of the six, only three have ever returned back to our precious Mountain.
For a while, the Academy campus just sat there. Vacant. Gray. Sacred. Cold. It was too much to even drive by our previous home during those early years of the merger. We would never, ever, be together like that again.
As the latest SAS alumni weekend approaches, Molly will be back for her reunion, and what I consider to be my 30th high school reunion. She is part of my family, and the Mountain is still my home. I do not think she would want to see “Taps” again, but she would understand why I would like to watch.

OPENING JUNE 4!
BOOKMARKEDA Column for Young Adult Readers and Adults Who Appreciate Th e Genre
by Margaret Stephens
Sherlocked!May 6 was a signifi cant Sunday in Sewanee. Bishop Bauerschmidt
visited St. James, children everywhere began preparing for Mother’s Day (right?), and the second season of “Sherlock” fi nally aired on PBS’s Masterpiece Mystery.
Die-hard “Sherlock” fans, of course, had already YouTubed all three episodes when they came out in Britain several months ago. (“Unfair!” cried at least one viewer. “Network torture!” another.) One teen marked off the wait by folding daily origami Black Lotuses (a reference from the fi rst season) which she taped up around (and around) her room. It was a long winter.
Why am I writing about British television when I review books? Th e thing is, the PBS series is doing for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle what Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” fi lm trilogy did for Tolkien. Not hurting Tolkien any, either, since Martin Freeman, who plays Sherlock’s straight-man sidekick John Watson in “Sherlock,” will star as Bilbo Baggins in the upcoming fi lm “Th e Hobbit”(only 196 days until its release Dec. 14, but who’s counting!).
Teens are reading “Sherlock Holmes,” tweeting about Sherlock Holmes, blogging about Sherlock Holmes. Th ere’s a fairly intelligent podcast, “Th e Baker Street Babes,” by a group of young women around the world that analyzes “the canon”—original Conan Doyle stories and their various adaptations—with the careful ferocity of a team of graduate students deconstructing “Moby Dick.”
Television is driving teens to books.Th ose of you who grew up with Granada Television’s adaptation
with Jeremy Brett as Holmes, set very faithfully in Victorian London, may be appalled to see that the BBC Sherlock lives at 221B Baker Street in the present day and makes fullest use of technology in his work. He is seen texting “Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!” to the journalists listening to Detective Inspector Lestrade’s explanation of a series of murders and deploying Dr. Watson and wi-fi to Skype a murder scene. (So that Sher-lock doesn’t have to get dressed and leave his apartment.) Watson doesn’t write up the cases for the Strand magazine; he blogs about them, their titles tweaked just enough to pay homage to the original stories while lett ing you know you’re in the 21st century. (e.g. “Th e Geek (instead of Greek) Interpreter.”)
I know I was. Appalled at the idea of a modern Sherlock, that is.Th en I watched the fi rst episode and, well, I was hooked. Th e shows
are fast-paced and witt y; Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock is, to bor-row a “Baker Street Babe” term, “absolutely brilliant.” As are Martin Freeman’s Watson, Rupert Graves’ Lestrade, and, oh, yes, Andrew Scott as an incredibly evil and probably insane master criminal Moriarty (with a cell phone whose ringtone is “Stayin’ Alive” from “Saturday Night Fe-ver,” proof of both his insanity and the show’s weird and wacky humor).
We’ve had a rule in our house since forever that before you watch a fi lm adaptation, you have to read the book. I’d make an exception in this case. If you watch “Sherlock,” you’re going to crave more, which can only drive you straight to Conan Doyle. You’ll want to hunt for clues into the fascinatingly enigmatic Sherlock’s character. And if you don’t read the originals, you’re going to miss half the fun, since the show drops references and inside jokes all over the place.
How can you watch “Scandal in Belgravia” and not rush to the origi-nal “Scandal in Bohemia” to fi nd out more about the real Irene Adler? I mean, you know she couldn’t have been a dominatrix in Victoria’s England. Aft er last Sunday’s terrifying “Hound of the Baskervilles,” you want to read for yourself what in the Conan Doyle story drives Henry Baskerville to the point of madness as, in the episode, he’s made paranoid to the point of insanity by—
But you need to watch it yourself. And read. Maybe not all 56 stories plus the four novels, but at least some of the classics in the collection, “Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.” Defi nitely “Th e Final Problem from Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes” so you understand what happened at Reichenbach Falls. Which is going to make you want to read the im-mediate sequel, “Th e Adventure of the Empty House” from “Th e Return of Sherlock Holmes,” which is going to make you want to watch the Jeremy Brett version of the same.
Which may lead you to the also-wonderful mystery novels of Laurie R. King, who gives to a 50-something retired Holmes a young female partner, beginning in “Th e Beekeeper’s Apprentice.”
All of which might turn you into a Baker Street Irregular. Or even a Baker Street Babe.
And make you as impatient as the rest of us for the fi nal episode of season two of “Sherlock,” “Reichenbach,” which airs Sunday on PBS’ Masterpiece Mystery.

Grundy County Health Clinic Staff Member
HonoredDaryl Adams of the Grundy Coun-
ty Health Department has been hon-ored for her outstanding contributions to women’s health by the National Health Service Corps (NHSC). As NHSC celebrates the 40th anniver-sary of its program this year, it is featur-ing the work of outstanding clinicians.
Adams works with the Grundy County Health Department, where she expands the reach of the clinic beyond its four walls and into the com-munity. When she fi rst met a patient who had never come to the clinic for a mammogram or screening, Adams knew it was her obligation to work with the clinic to raise awareness of the resources available to the community.
She presented the idea of putt ing up fl yers and inviting women to the clinic to learn about how to get mam-mograms for free—an initiative that has been very successful. With the dedication and commitment of the clinic, the eff ort has become an annual event known as “Mountain Tops and Bott oms: A Woman’s Health Event.”
For many without medical cover-age or reliable income, primary health care providers are essential to the prevention and treatment of major health conditions. Adams is one such provider.
Grundy Co. Rotary School
ProgramTh e Grundy County Rotary Club
recently presented the “Don’t METH With Us” program to all of the fi ft h-, sixth- and seventh-graders throughout the Grundy County School system.
The students heard from club members about the dangers of the drug methamphetamine and then watched a video of one of the Rotar-ians, a retired Chemistry professor, which showed how easily the chemi-cals used to make meth can ignite and explode. At the conclusion, each child had the opportunity to go aboard the Meth Task Force exhibit trailer to see some of the horrors of drug use.
The students received a T-shirt with the logo “We Are The Future, Don’t METH With Us,” a wrist band, and a Rotary Service Medal key chain. Almost 500 children participated in the program.
Th e Grundy County Rotary Club meets at 11:30 a.m., Tuesdays, at the Dutch Maid Bakery in Tracy City. All are welcome to att end.

ATTHEMOVIESSewanee Union Th eatre Th is Week Friday–Monday, June 1–4, 7:30 p.m.Rise of the Planet of the ApesRated PG-13 • 120 minutes • $3
“Rise of the Planet of the Apes” is a creative and interesting update of the “Apes” franchise. James Franco and Frieda Pinto star in the fi lm, but the real star is actor Andy Serkis as the ape Caesar. Th rough a variety of special eff ects, Serkis and director Rupert Wyatt convincingly portray the ape as a creature of emotion and intelligence. Th e scene on the Golden Gate Bridge may rank up there with King Kong on the Empire State Building for its memorable actions on a beloved landmark. Rated PG-13 for intense and frightening sequences of action and violence.

“Project Dance” Camp
There is still time to sign up for Project Dance, a summer dance camp for kids. Th e fi rst session is June 4–8; the second session is July 16–20. It is designed for children ages 7 and older.
Children will learn about modern and improvisational dance, working with different media to tell stories through movement.
Th emes planned for the June camp week are Music and Prop Day, Sto-rytelling Day, and Performance Day. Each day there will be a modern tech-nique class followed by working on the theme of the day through art, music, improv and dance.
For more information, including class times, or to sign up, contact instructor Debbie Welch at (423) 637-3849 and by email, <[email protected]>.
Doug McCoy will exhibit a collection of his new acrylic and ink paintings and drawings, “Feast Your Eyes,” during June at In-Town Gallery. He seeks to delight the viewer through the use of minute details. Th e opening reception is 5–8 p.m. (EDT), today, June 1, at the Gallery.
As a lifetime resident of Chatt anooga, McCoy’s ink drawings are familiar to many people, but this new exhibit will feature a shift in style.
“I wanted to try some new imagery while still maintaining the level of detail my collectors love. Th is new work is infl uenced by Escher and the Pop Art movement,” he explained.
By using repetition of line and design, the art invites the viewer to feast their eyes on the intimate dots and strokes. Th e medium is applied with small-tipped brushes and pens onto cott on canvas or cold-pressed watercolor paper.
McCoy has exhibited at the Four Bridges Arts Festival and is a top-selling artist at the Chatt anooga Market. Local collectors in-clude the TVA corporate offi ces and many medical professionals.
In-Town Gallery is one of the oldest cooperative galleries in the nation. It presents the original work of more than 30 regional studio artists. It is located at 26A Frazier Ave., Chatt anooga. For more information, call (423) 267-9214, or visit <www.intown gallery.com>.
“Feast Your Eyes” Show at In-Town Gallery
Area Artists’ Watercolors on Display at Artisan Depot
Th e featured art at the Artisan Depot gallery is work by members of Patricia Underwood’s watercolor class. Members of the class with works in the show include Ruth Benson, Sherry Cardwell, Joanne Cooper, Carol Foreman, Judy Grealis, Charles Hubbard, Joanne Naylor, Jim Poteet, Mary Priestley, Jennifer Redstreake and Georgie Speers.
Underwood’s interest in watercolor was sparked aft er taking an adult educa-tion class in the mid-1980s while living in Arizona. She knew she was hooked aft er the fi rst class and continued to learn as much as she could about the medium. Her mastery of watercolor is evident in her expressive subject matt er, which includes bears, marine life and the clear crisp Aspen trees of Flagstaff , Ariz., where she resided from 1982 until 2002.
Underwood has taught watercolor at the Center for the Arts in Cowan for a number of years. She is the vice-president of the Franklin County Arts Guild.
Th e exhibit will be up until mid-June. Artisan Depot gallery is located at 201 Cumberland St. East, Cowan. For more information call (931) 636-0169.

Sewanee Coaches Lead by ExampleTh roughout this athletic season, I have writt en about a number
of outstanding student-athletes here at Sewanee. Th ese include such people as Watson Fellowship recipient Blair Barrows, or Wooden Cup nominee Watson Hartsoe. Th ese stories tell how these outstanding individuals strive to be great, both on and off the fi eld. What is oft en overlooked, however, are the men and women that help to mold these student-athletes while they are here on the Mountain. Th ese individu-als, Sewanee’s coaches, are oft en the ones teaching each Tiger student-athlete about honor, integrity, sportsmanship and commitment.
At Sewanee, our coaches teach student-athletes to be leaders in the community. By helping a student-athlete become involved in reading to local school children or helping the underprivileged abroad, coaches connect their student-athletes with community needs.
Sewanee’s coaches regularly practice what they teach during Se-wanee Elementary School’s Friday School, which began in 1977.
Like so many others in the community who help Friday School, Sewanee men’s soccer coaches David Poggi and Kelly Wolverton, men’s basketball coach Bubba Smith, former football coach Robert Black and football coach Tommy Laurendine volunteered their time and give back to SES. All these men taught SES students drills, proper technique and most of all, how to have fun playing sports.
“Kelly and I look forward to Friday School every year,” said Poggi. “My kids att end SES, and events such as this are what make this com-munity such a special place to live.”
“Friday School is one my favorite things I get to do each year at school,” said SES third-grader Meredith Foster. “All the volunteers teach us a lot, and we have fun doing it.”
More than fundamentals and skills, it was the coaches’ ability to develop character and self-confi dence that impressed SES principal Mike Maxon.
“Th ankfully, the athletic department has always taken a keen inter-est in helping with this program,” said Maxon. “What stands out every year is how each coach instills in our youth positive character traits such as sportsmanship, perseverance and discipline. Th ese are the type of qualities that produce positive citizens in this ever-changing world.”
Coaching is an honorable profession with a huge responsibility. At its core, coaching is not about the money or the fame. Instead, it is about helping young people fi gure out who they are, who they want to be and how to get there. Here at Sewanee, our coaches are no diff erent. Th ey are the ones standing right behind our current, and maybe future outstanding student-athletes every step of the way.

SAS Tennis Season Ends
In the quarterfi nals of the Division IIA State Tennis Tournament on May 25, Sadie Shackelford of Sewanee fell to Claire Sullivan of St. George’s Inde-pendent School, 6-2 and 6-1.
Th is was her fi ft h consecutive state tournament appearance. She was state champion in 2008 and 2009, runner-up in 2010, and semifi nalist in 2011.
“Sadie ends an amazing tennis career at St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School with an 85-8 singles record and a 51-3 doubles record,” coach Kelley Black said. She will play tennis at Middle-bury College next year.
The St. Andrew’s-Sewanee boys’ tennis team traveled to Jackson, Tenn., on May 17 to play University School of Jackson in the SAS boys’ fi rst substate appearance.
As the fourth-place team in the East region, SAS faced the fi rst-place team in the West region. Unfortunately, University School proved too tough. Th e SAS boys lost 0-5.
Th e 2012 season marks the SAS boys’ most successful tennis season. With all players returning next year, the team looks to continue its success.
Team members included Justin Stubblefi eld, Patrick Toomey, Slater Goodson, William Zhang, Joel Lee and Andrew Heitzenrater
St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School fi elds 26 interscholastic teams in 12 sports, plus club teams in mountain biking and dance. More than 60 percent of its students participate in sports.
Boat Shed Repurposed for Hay Barn

With the launching of Tim Keith-Lucas’ boat, the Santa Catalina, the area on Breakfield Road has been returned to the University and is now called “Leroy’s Loafi ng Barn.”
Leroy is the Keith-Lucas’ horse that lives at the University Equestrian Center.
“I bought Leroy when he was 19, and offered him to the Equestrian Program as a school horse,” Lisa Keith-Lucas said recently. “I rode him on weekends.”
Leroy was retired in May 2011 at the age of 31 aft er being used in Se-wanee classes and has carried riders in several IHSA regional, zone and national championships. She said Leroy is a double-registered buckskin Quarterhorse (both his breed and color are registered).
Tim Keith-Lucas said, “Leroy has taught generations of beginner riders at the college, because he has the pe-culiar trait of doing absolutely nothing until told what to do by the rider and then doing exactly that.”
About the naming of the barn, he said, “He’s been loved by many, so the Loafi ng Barn is in his name. Lisa has been involved in the equestrian program since she was a freshman at Sewanee.”
Tigers Earn IHSA Service AwardTh e Sewanee Tigers earned the inaugural Intercollege Horse Show Associa-
tion’s (IHSA) Service Award for their annual fund-raiser, “Horses in the Hood,” which supports a nonprofi t organization based in California that helps send inner-city children to horseback riding camp each summer.
Each year, the equestrian team raises money to send one child to one week of camp.
Th is past fall, Sewanee raised enough money to send two children to the camp.
Sewanee fi rst submitt ed for the award in the medium team competition at the regional level. Aft er submitt ing their presentation, the Tigers continued to the zone level, where they again won their division. From there, Sewanee won the fi rst-year honor aft er a committ ee of judges ranked Sewanee’s philanthropic eff orts as the best in the IHSA National Show Medium Division.
“We are thrilled to win this award because we want to raise awareness of the great things that ‘Horses in the Hood’ is doing,” said coach Megan Taylor. “Hopefully, more people will want to get involved with this organization, so that more children can benefi t from time spent with horses.”

NATURENOTESBy Harry and Jean Yeatman
Coachwhip Snake Encounter“A s I stepped out
onto my porc h one aft ernoon,”reports Jean Yeatman , “I glanced dow n to see a coach-whip snake lying there. Th is is a very rare snake for this area; I have not seen one in the 62 years we have lived here.
“I called Harr y to come a nd ad m i re it , and he picked it up. We found it very tame, so we took it to a friend, Deb McGrath, to give to her son. She was so enam-ored with it, she kept it for herself. We asked if she would play with it for a few days and then let it go, which she did.
“A week later I was walking out our stone walk, and found a king snake of the milk snake variety. I picked it up, and it was very tame. It was a cold day, and it seemed to like wrapping around my arm to get warm. Th is is also a rare snake for our area. It eats poisonous snakes, so aft er admiring it, I put it back on the walk.”
Large Bobcat Sighted Near Local HomeOn May 25, around 5:30 p.m., a very big bobcat emerged from the
wooded hillside near the home of Peggy Th oits (in the Ratt lesnake Springs area) and looked up at the screened-in porch where she sat with her two dogs. Its body was brown, and it had a bobbed tail and black rings on its legs. It looked “roly-poly big,” she said, “well nourished or perhaps a pregnant female.” Th e dogs barked, the big cat looked at the porch and then turned and walked down into the cove out of sight. About an hour later Peggy heard a panicky deer making repeated alarm calls and moving rapidly through the woods on the hillside on the other side of her house.

June 1, 1898—Birthday of John Masefi eld
Laugh and be merry, remember, bett er the world with a song,Bett er the world with a blow in the teeth of a wrong.Laugh, for the time is brief, a thread the length of a span.Laugh, and be proud to belong to the old proud pageant of man.
Laugh and be merry: remember in olden time,God made Heaven and Earth for joy He took in a rhyme,Made them, and fi lled them full with the strong red wine of his mirth,Th e splendid joy of the stars: the joy of the earth.
So we must laugh and drink from the deep blue cup of the sky,Join the jubilant song of the great stars sweeping by,Laugh, and batt le, and work, and drink of the wine outpouredIn the dear green earth, the sign of the joy of the Lord.
—“Laugh and Be Merry” by John Masefi eld
