Work by longtime Sewanee resi-dents Merissa Tobler, clay artist, and Sanford McGee, metal artist, is featured in Shenanigans Gallery until Sept. 29. Tobler and McGee have new works in their respective media, as well as some collaborative pieces combining clay and copper.

Sanford McGee’s work, which in-volves a process of etching botanicals onto copper, comes from a deep eco-

Newly elected chairman of the Franklin County School Board Mike Cunningham has called a special board meeting for the purpose of meeting “a state legal requirement to provide a 10-day notice if there is the possibility a motion could be offered by a school board member concerning the termination of the Director of Schools’ contract.” Accord-ing to Cunningham, “There has been significant public discussion recently about this subject; as chairman, I am announcing that the first portion of our special meeting, beginning at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 25, will be a business meeting for the sole purpose of permitting one or more board members to address the director’s contract.”

Director of Schools Charles Ed-monds was appointed by the school board in 2000 for a four-year term. Changes in state law made the direc-tor’s position an appointed rather than an elected position. Evaluation of the director is held every year. Edmonds’ appointment was extended

F.C. School Board Chair CallsSpecial Meeting Sept. 25

for two years in 2004. He now has a new four-year contract with the board of education that ends June 30, 2010. Under Edmonds’ leadership, Franklin County has gained a new high school, students’ test scores have improved, and all county schools have earned the state’s highest accreditation. Some school board members’ disapproval of the director appears to lie in the area of personnel management and questions of cronyism.

After the new business por-tion of the meeting is completed, school board members will begin a workshop on the following items: Broadview food facility expansion; student fund-raisers; appointment of a working group to study food service needs and expenditures; and pay administration.

The workshop will recess, and the school board will meet with the County Commission’s School Committee at 7 p.m. Attendance is expected to be high, so both meet-ings will be held in Franklin County High School.

Peace Vigil Fridaywith the Iraq Moratorium, a national initiative asking communities to take some form of action demonstrating opposition to the Iraq War on the third Friday of each month.

Signs will be available at the vigil site. Participants may park in the Sewanee Gardeners’ Market lot at the corner of Hwy 41A and Hawkins Lane. For more information contact Leslie Lytle at 598-9979 or <sllytle @blomand.net>.

Berlin and Modernism Conferenceon Friday and Saturday, Sept. 26 and 27, and from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 28.

His interests in sustainability and environmental issues have prompted his current work which is based on his translation of the Green Man, both historically and in our modern,

PRAISE FOR ACTION TAKENTo the Editor:

Thanks to M. Davis, M. Priestley, M. McCleaf and J. Carpenter for call-ing TDOT to account for spraying herbicide along Hwy. 41A leading down to Cowan and on other scenic highways (Messenger, Sept. 11). As noted, the damage to the wildflow-ers may be irreparable. As Sewanee’s representatives to the county com-mission, we intend to pursue the matter in the commission and with TDOT.

We also want to note the accurate reporting in the Messenger of events at the Franklin County School Board meeting of Sept. 2.

One needs to add, however, that the spirit of the school board has been radically altered by the ad-dition of four new members, the continuation of Michelle Stovall and the election of Mike Cunningham as chairman. These elections may be viewed as the voters’ rejection of the failed policies of the past.

The delight with the new board members and satisfaction about the choice of Cunningham as chairman were clearly evident in the commis-sion meeting of Sept. 3, when these members were heartily received.

PALIN=RE-PACKAGED BUSH To the Editor:

Everything we hoped to rid our-selves of from the Bush administra-tion we would have in spades with a McCain/Palin administration:

1. A disdain for science. Why is it that we trust scientists to cure diseases and invent the latest cell phones, but they know nothing about

RIGHT TO LIFE UNDER ALLCONDITIONS IS A CIVIL RIGHTTo the Editor:

There is just a little bit of irony in Pat Tabor’s letter of last week. She claims that Sarah Palin’s “ultra-conservative views” will set every woman “back a generation” if her candidacy with Senator McCain is successful. I assume one of her “more radical views” has to do with Palin’s pro-life life.

So let me get this straight: my position and agency as an American woman has somehow increased and been made easier because I can now legally end my child’s life? How have we advanced women’s lives by allow-ing them to see their unborn baby’s lives as expendable and less valuable than their own? We as Americans cannot even approach the topic of civil rights if we first do not insure the most basic civil right of all: the right to life to all those in utero, includ-ing the baby so desperately wanted, the unplanned pregnancy and the Down Syndrome child. All else is meaningless—the economy, health insurance crises and terrorism—if we won’t extend the simple right to life to those who might one day (or not, sadly) join the conversation.

What would give me the greater dignity as a woman is a culture and a leader who would protect the future women of this great country and make sure they are, to put it as simply and clearly as I can, born.

Gasoline Frenzy Felt Here

In the wake of hurricanes Gustov and Ike, fear of gasoline shortages and suddenly spiking prices sent people rushing to the pumps last Thursday and Friday. Lines at Sewanee Auto Repair on Friday afternoon spilled down University Avenue. Christina and Harold Thomas, owners, thank the Sewanee community for being so considerate while waiting for gasoline. Their supply of regular was exhausted by Monday afternoon, Sept. 15; on Wednesday, they still had 1,000 gallons of high test on hand. Sewanee is on the supplier’s waiting list and should receive gasoline today, Sept. 18, or Friday, Sept. 19.

the environment or the origin of life on the planet?

2. Abuse of power. Sarah Palin attempted to have her local librarian in Wasilla fired for not agreeing to ban books, tried to have her former brother-in-law fired for personal reasons and made all city employees sign loyalty oaths to her.

3. Fiscal recklessness. As mayor, the town started with a surplus and ended her term with a deficit in the millions. Sound familiar?

4. Continuation of the occupation of Iraq. Sarah Palin believes that we are doing “God’s task in Iraq.” What other potential conflicts might she consider to be God’s will?

5. A poor standing in the world. I believe that Palin would do little to improve America’s diminished stand-ing in the world. We need a diplomat, not a demagogue.

6. Energy independence. Bush, Palin and the Republicans have consistently thwarted much-needed investment in alternative energy.

Please don’t be fooled by all of Palin’s talk of being a reformer. She supported the “Bridge to Nowhere” up until it became politically un-popular to do so and kept the money designated for it. She did list the plane on eBay but ended up selling it to a supporter at a huge loss to Alaska. Sarah Palin’s projects have appeared on McCain’s famous “Pork List” three times! Palin is Bush all over again in a prettier package.

techno world. In a very real sense the Green Man has awakened and expressed himself with the current interest in “everything green.” Global concerns as varied as weather ex-tremes, habitat destruction, addiction to oil, sustainability and organic, local food sources as well as our carbon footprint have urged us to “think globally and act locally.” The first completed work of this theme which McGee is exploring, Magnolia Green Man, is currently being exhibited.

Merissa Tobler’s clay pieces are designed for daily use, primarily in preparing and serving food. Her goal is to create pieces that are sturdy enough to stand up to daily wear and tear, as well as being beautiful to the eye and comfortable in the hand. The current show also includes some of her work that does not have function as its main goal. These include clay stones and masks.

Catechumenate Explores Discipline

of DisasterThis Wednesday, Sept. 24, at 7

p.m. the Catechumenate will meet in the Mary Sue Cushman Room of the Women’s Center on Mississippi Avenue. The group will share coffee, dessert and conversation before Uni-versity Chaplain Tom Macfie speaks on the discipline of disaster and how we deal with things going wrong within our own lives. After hearing about instances of large-scale disas-ters from the Bible, participants will break into small groups to explore their beliefs. One of the reasons for Catechumenate’s success is the mix-ture of students, seminarians, faculty and community members who come together to share their lives.

The Catechumenate will meet on Wednesdays from 7 to 8:30 p.m. throughout the semester. For more information please contact Lay Chap-lain Seth Olson at 598-1251.

On Aug. 23, Francis and Dorothy Thorpe’s barn burned down; one wall is left. No one knows how the fire started. Their son Greg ran into the barn, found miniature horse Stormy lying down in his stall and carried him outside. Then Thorpe ran back into the barn to get Pattycake, a large black-and-white horse, but the door to her stall was stuck. As he yanked the door open, Pattycake stepped into the fire. Thorpe sensed that the horse was trying to shield him from the flames. Pattycake’s body was on fire as he led her outside.

Both horses survived, Stormy with second- and third-degree burns from the heat on his face and left side of his body, and Pattycake with first-degree burns over her entire body. Remark-ably, Greg was not burned. Megan Taylor, director of riding and head coach of the University’s equestrian team, provides this update because many have been concerned since the Thorpes’ thank-you letter in the MESSENGER. Stormy, who has been living at the Equestrian Center since Sept. 1, is doing well under the care of the Equestrian Center’s veterinar-ian, Stacey Smith of the Fayetteville Veterinary Clinic.

Pattycake has been very well taken care of at Blue Springs Veterinary Clinic in Manchester. On Sept. 12, Taylor and one of her students, El-eanor Kibler, drove Pattycake to the Animal Clinic at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. At the Univer-

University Equestrian Center Reaches Out to Burned Horses

sity’s clinic, veterinarians will prepare Pattycake for skin grafts, which they told Taylor the horse should be ready for in one month.

Taylor said, “Pattycake, such a sweet horse, miraculously survived for good reasons, perhaps to help veterinary students learn how to perform skin grafts on horses.” Commenting on her love for horses and all animals, Taylor said, “You’ve got to love them and care for them.” Taylor said Stormy likes humans very much, and everyone in the com-munity is welcome to visit him at the Equestrian Center any time between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Mondays through Fridays.

Members of the Sewanee eques-trian team are making and selling cupcakes to raise money to help pay the veterinary bills. Other student organizations are planning fund-raisers to help the Thorpes, retired employees of the University, pay for their horses’ care.

A special account has been estab-lished for Pattycake at Regions Bank in Sewanee. If you would like to con-tribute you may stop by the Sewanee branch or mail a check payable to Megan D. Taylor/Pattycake Fund to the bank or to Taylor at SPO Box 1179, Sewanee 37383. For more informa-tion or suggestions on other ways you can help, please e-mail Taylor at [email protected].

Doug Dye of Sewanee, who works at CVS Pharmacy in Monteagle, attended a certificate program last month of the American College of Veterinary Pharmacists in Memphis in Advanced Therapeutic Equine. Pharmacists successfully completing this continuing education program can offer the best possible care to veterinary patients.

Comprehensive coverage of thera-peutic options for equine medicine included: Horse from Head to Foot—anatomy and physiology of horses to facilitate assessment of drug therapy; Equine Medication Techniques—administration of medication either directly (tablets, pastes, etc.) or as food additives; Preventive Health Issues—infectious diseases, toxicity and vaccinations; and Equine Disease States—colic, ophthalmology, wound management, orthopedic, respiratory, dermatological and reproductive.

The course was offered by the American College of Veterinary Phar-macists, an international association of private pharmacy practitioners whose mission is to assure delivery of the highest quality health care services available.

Folks at Home is the name for a new project being considered to help aging Sewanee residents remain in their homes as they face the transitions associated with ad-vancing stages of life. Meg Binnicker and Laura Willis discussed the new project at last week’s EQB (Emeritus group) meeting at the Sewanee Inn. A small group of people has been meeting for the past six months to consider how this new organization would operate and what services it would provide.

For years the Community Ac-tion Committee (CAC), which Willis directs, provided a driver service, but available volunteers dwindled to the point that this was discontinued. People have continued to request this service from CAC and wondered if CAC could expand to provide services to aging community members.

About three years ago, CAC be-came aware of Beacon Hill Village, a nonprofit organization in the Boston area that provides services to older community members, including grocery shopping, delivering meals, taking pets to the vet, running er-rands, paying bills and driving folks to social outings and to medical appointments. Beacon Hill Village

“Folks at Home” Program Discussedcharges an annual membership fee to those who use most of its services, with other more specialized services available on a fee-based, as-needed basis.

Earlier this year, Rachel Lynch and Liz Camp began meeting with individuals interested in having something in Sewanee based on the Beacon Hill Village model. Their work has resulted in the development of a preliminary mission statement and a survey to assess local interest and needs. The group envisions that ini-tially Folks at Home will begin under the umbrella of an existing 501(c)3; one major pledge has already been made to support the new group’s work. The group’s next step is to establish a board of directors.

Binnicker, who has been working with a subcommittee that included Camp, Liz Workman, Carol Cubberley and Anne Griffin, introduced a survey to the EQB group and invited those in attendance to complete it as a field test before beginning an extensive survey of the whole community of prospective clients.

For more information about Folks at Home, contact the CAC at 598-5927.

728-5600Since 1989

The Rev. John Taliaferro Thomas, head of St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School, spoke to members and guests of the Civic Association at its Sept. 8 meet-ing. A graduate of the University of the South, Thomas related his attrac-tion to Sewanee and to St. Andrews-Sewanee School.

Thomas said he left Sewanee in 1988 with all of his belongings in a compact car and now, 20 years later, he has returned with his wife, Janice, two children, a dog and 9,500 pounds of possessions in a truck. In the spring of Thomas’s junior year in high school, his father, a university professor, and he visited several pro-spective universities in the eastern and southeastern parts of the coun-try. Thomas had received a brochure describing the University of the South and asked his father to take him to Sewanee. His father said, “Where is it?” They arrived on a foggy day in March during spring break; hardly a soul was to be found. They saw a sign on the Admissions office door saying “Out to lunch.” So they found a place to eat lunch, and when they returned, Director of Admissions Albert Gooch took them on a tour of the campus.

On the way home, Thomas told his father he wanted to go to college in Sewanee. He said to the Civic Associa-tion: “There was a sense of the place that was palpable. I don’t know why my senses told me this, but somehow I knew.” After completing a bachelor of arts degree in English literature at the University, Thomas earned a master of divinity degree from Virginia Theological Seminary. He and his wife have lived in Pensacola, Fla.; Atlanta, Ga. and, most recently, Bethesda, Md., where he served as chaplain of St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Potomac near Washington, D.C. In Bethesda, he said he learned about diversity: he met people who did not eat grits and who used the word “barbecue” as a verb.

Now that the Thomases are set-tling into Sewanee, they have suffered a bit of culture shock; getting their drivers’ licenses in Jasper took only 13 minutes. When considering whether to come back to Sewanee, Thomas said he hesitated to revisit the place of his youth where his memory flashes brought back his own personal Eden. As he investigated St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School, Thomas said he realized it is a great place for families, kids and dogs. His memories of St. Andrew’s School were limited to the reservoir, a place he and his college friends enjoyed.

Thomas said that the more he learned about today’s SAS from for-mer Head of School Bill Wade, from conversations with those familiar with the school and from reading students’ Facebooks, the more he was impressed with the school. In their Facebooks, some students said SAS “had saved their lives.”

SAS Head of School Addresses Civic AssociationThomas described SAS with en-

thusiasm: “We have students from 14 states and 10 countries—we’re more ethnically, socioeconomically, nationally and perhaps religiously diverse than anywhere I’ve ever lived. The word is not fully out about this great place.” What is special about the school is expressed in its mission statement: “the commitment to teach every child with every learning style,” said Thomas. “Other schools say they seek strong students, meaning they’re easy to teach. Most of our northeast-ern counterparts long ago abandoned their original missions of teaching all children in favor of teaching kids who are very easy to teach.”

What we know at SAS, Thomas said, is that kids have different styles of learning. In addition to visual and aural modes, “children need kines-thetic learning experiences,” he said, and “SAS is still teaching all students. SAS is academically rigorous. We have three National Merit semifinalists, as well as many students in that vast middle area, adolescents who are still searching. SAS is a well-kept secret. Under its veil of humility is this fabulous school, and most people do not know how great it is. I want our daughter and son to graduate from St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School.”

This year SAS has 262 students, 82 boarders and 180 day students. A member of the audience asked about SAS’s sports program. Thomas replied, “We’re small but pound for pound, we have the scrappiest teams I’ve ever seen. All students have op-portunities to participate in sports. Our daughter, who never before has been interested in team sports, is now a volleyball player.”

“Sewanee is a great place to live—it’s intergenerational, kid-friendly, dog-friendly, faith-friendly and full of wonderful characters, some of whom

are in this room. We are grateful and blessed and truly honored to be here,” Thomas said.

He was accompanied by his wife, Janice; they have two children, Emily and Sam, a dog named Henry and a recently adopted Sewanee dog, Scout.

The next meeting of the Civic As-sociation will be on Monday, Oct. 6, at 6:30 p.m. Cub Scout leaders Lisa Rung and Sandy Carr will speak. Res-ervations for dinner are helpful but not required; please contact Lauren Drinen at <[email protected]> or 598-0105. Membership is open to all, and dues are $60 per person, cov-ering all meals for the eight-month series. Individual meals may be pur-chased at the door for $10.

Please contact Thomas Manshack with program ideas or commu-nity concerns at <tmanshack@gmail .com> or 598-3514.

R E E L T EMovie Reviews by Laura Willis

MI

Free Cinema Guild MovieTONIGHT at 7 p.m.Sewanee Union TheatreWild at Heart

Nicholas Cage and Laura Dern star as Sailor and Lula in this bizarre road trip of a film by director David Lynch. Along the way, they encounter a series of Lynchian tableaus—a grotesquely violent villain (Willem Dafoe), people dying on the side of the road, strange pop-culture references, and Lula’s crazy mother (Diane Ladd, Dern’s mother in real life) chasing them down. Cage seems to be channeling Elvis through most of the movie, and you can’t tell if you are supposed to take this seriously or laugh at him. Is it parody? Is it art? Lynch is clever and witty, and “Wild at Heart” won the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 1990. One respected reviewer wrote about it, “The movie is lurid melodrama, soap opera, exploitation, put-on and self-satire.” You’ll either love it or hate it. Rated R for extremely graphic violence and language. 124 minutes.

By John Bordley

A Report on My Summer Concerts in BelgiumWay back in July, my wife and I went to Belgium for 10 days, and I

played five carillon concerts. The idea of the concert tour all began with one concert in Mechelen. Graduates of the Royal Carillon School in Mechelen are invited to play a concert, in one of the two years following graduation, as part of the regular summer Monday night series. Since I graduated in 2006 and couldn’t go last year, we decided to go this year.

When we lived in Belgium for the 2005–06 school year I learned that the Belgians spend a lot of money on printed materials —booklets, post-ers, special newspapers. Each concert series, whether a series for carillon or orchestra or piano, has a printed booklet with the dates, biographies, concert programs and program notes.

I had submitted information about my program to each of the concert series I performed in, and as expected, printed program booklets were available. The one thing that caught me completely off guard, however, was the large poster with my name on it for the Mechelen concert. I’ve never had my name in big letters on a poster before.

It turns out that the Monday night I had chosen back in the winter was the national holiday of Belgium, somewhat akin to our Fourth of July. So Mechelen had a big celebration planned, with activities during the day in the marketplace, a dance troupe immediately before the carillon concert, and another event immediately after my concert, and then fireworks.

Unfortunately it was a dreary, rainy, cool Belgian day. Most of the events were canceled. Only about half the number of people who usually come to the official listening place for the carillon concerts braved the weather. These 50 people huddled under a protective awning; I wore a sweater and a jacket to climb up the 413 steps to the playing cabin.

After the concert some of the people usually gather for beer on an outdoor veranda at one of the many restaurants on or near the market-place. The night of my concert people drank tea and hot chocolate! The fireworks did go off right in front of the carillon tower at the cathedral. Amazingly, they let the crowds get as close as 10–20 feet from where the fireworks are set off.

The other four concerts went well, and we got to visit some towns that we had not visited previously. Appreciative audiences attended each of the events.Sewanee Chorale

Kicks OffMonday night rehearsals of the

Sewanee Chorale have begun in the lower level (The Pit) of Hargrove Hall, the School of Theology academic building off Tennessee Avenue, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Singers in all voice ranges are needed and invited to join.

Reynolds Shares Tips to Care for

Environment with Woman’s Club

The Sewanee Woman’s Club began its 78th season on Monday, Sept. 8, with Otey parish hall filled to capac-ity.

President Elaine Goleski wel-comed the happy group and their guests, thanking Phyllis Kinder and Myrna Nesbit of the program com-mittee for their excellent lineup of topics for the year’s meetings on the topic “Taking Care.”

Jason Reynolds, a Sewanee resi-dent and graduate of Tennessee Tech in Cookeville, has served South Cum-berland State Park in Monteagle as a park ranger for the past six years.

Reynolds’ remarks were accom-panied by slides of some of the extraordinary natural beauty of our region. His focus was pragmatic, as he explained in detail actions that individuals can take to contribute to solutions, rather than being part of problems, for our environment.

Reynolds first explained the “Leave No Trace” strategy, which, when visit-ing natural areas, includes planning ahead (know where you’re going, have a map); traveling on durable surfaces (stay on the trail); packing in and packing out (don’t litter, take all your trash with you); leaving what you find (don’t remove arrowheads, fossils, beautiful rocks or plants); minimizing campfires (use extreme caution, use a fire ring and put out the fire completely); respecting wildlife (don’t feed wild creatures, respect their territory); and being considerate of others (keep dogs on a leash, keep noise level down if in a large group).

The second concept he addressed —“the three Rs” (reduce, reuse, recycle)—was already familiar to many, but his recommendations were creatively grouped to maximize the effect of all efforts.


TinTinnabulaTion


emotional wounds. Residents of Blue Monarch typically suffer from substance abuse disorders, domestic violence, homelessness, educational deficiencies and intergenerational poverty and abuse.

Substantial research has demon-strated that addicts need long-term, highly structured residential recovery opportunities. Studies also reveal that fewer than 10 percent of addicted women with children are able to access such programs because they

will lose their children to the foster care system in the process. Blue Monarch assists Tennessee women in breaking the cycle of abuse and addiction by providing a unique recovery program that keeps women and children united.

To send donations or receive more information, please contact Blue Monarch at P.O. Box 1207, Monteagle, TN 37356; (931) 924-8900; or <www .bluemonarch.org>.

Blue Monarch Challenge Grant from page 6 . . . “Reduce” includes reducing emis-

sions by driving well-maintained smaller cars; bicycling; buying food and other necessities locally; reducing electricity use by turning out lights when leaving rooms; using compact fluorescent bulbs (note: Home Depot stores will accept these for recycling); collecting rainwater for gardens, plant-ing native species of flowers to reduce the need for water; looking for energy-efficient appliances (Energy Star) and participating in the Green Power Switch program (for more information call DREMC or your utility office).

The category of items to “reuse” includes grocery bags, (take your own to avoid consuming plastic or paper); water bottles (use tap or filtered water; stop buying bottled water) and other containers; and donating old clothes to the Hospitality Shop, Appalachian Women’s Guild or another venue where they’ll be used (such as by a quilting group).

Items to “recycle” include plastic bottles and containers, cardboard, newspaper, magazines, phone books, metal, aluminum cans and office paper, all of which can be taken to the Convenience Center on University Av-enue. Surprising statistics about items commonly seen on roadsides include the deterioration rate: plastic bag or

disposable diaper (10–20 years), alu-minum can or plastic six-pack holder (200–400 years).

What else can we do? Tell a friend what you learned; don’t litter with cigarette butts, which take 2–5 years to disintegrate; volunteer for litter pickup; watch out for invasive plant species; use alternatives to pesticides, herbicides etc., or if you use them, fol-low label directions exactly to avoid their ending up in the waterways; get your family involved.

The next meeting of the Woman’s Club is Oct. 13. Andrea Hatcher, visit-ing assistant professor of political sci-ence at Sewanee, will speak on “Taking Care of Our Right to Vote.”

Three SAS Seniors Named National Merit Semifinalists

The National Merit Scholarship Corporation Program recently named three St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School seniors National Merit semifinalists. Zach Huffman son of Angela and Clifford Huffman of Sewanee, Daniel Shaver, son of Stephen Shaver and Karen Kuers of Sewanee and Susanne Fest of Yellow Springs, Ohio, and Carly Westling, daughter of Richard and Bronwyn Westling of Sewanee, are among the elite 1 percent of high school seniors who earned this recognition based on their perfor-mance on the PSAT. In addition to being outstanding students, in the SAS tradition of well-roundedness, these students share, among them, the accolades of state-qualifying swimmer, boy scout, varsity soccer player, thespian, record-holding long distance runner and musician.

More than 1.5 million juniors in over 21,000 high schools entered the 2009 National Merit Program by taking the 2007 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualify-ing Test. To become a finalist, a semi-finalist must have an outstanding

Forty representatives from col-leges and universities across the country will visit St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School in the coming weeks. In an average year, the school will welcome close to 50 admissions’ representatives, nearly one college representative for each member of the senior class.

“We encourage our students to visit the colleges and universities they are considering, but it’s tremen-dously valuable to have representa-tives from those schools visit us as well,” according to SAS Director of College Counseling Christine Asmus-sen. “When college representatives come to our campus, they get a bet-ter sense of what goes on here. They see the quality of the school and its facilities. It is a real benefit to our students to have someone at the col-leges who can put their applications into context.”

Meg Armour-Jones, an SAS senior, hopes to attend Connecticut College or Mount Holyoke next year: “My

COLLEGE DAY. Franklin County High School (FCHS) held its annual College Day on Friday, Sept. 12. Approximately 700 students and parents turned out to meet with representatives of nearly 40 colleges, technical schools, financial assistance organizations and several branches of the military.

Sewanee field hockey hosted season-opening games with Rhodes and Hendrix on Sept. 13 and 14, with Rhodes winning the first contest and Sewanee besting Hendrix on day two.

Rhodes came to the Mountain Saturday, Sept. 13, to face Sewanee in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) opener for both schools. The Lynx got up 2-0 in the first half and then secured the 3-1 win over the Tigers at the conclusion of play.

Rhodes scored two first-half goals. In the second half, Sewanee rallied to a one-goal deficit on an unassisted Clare Ashburn (Washington, D.C.) goal late, but the rally was stopped short by a Rhodes goal in the 66th minute.

W&L Topples Sewanee on the

MountainWashington and Lee came to the

Mountain on Sept. 13 and squared off against the Sewanee Tigers in a battle between two rival teams that first played each other in 1892 (Sewanee won 22-16 on that occasion). The Generals got up on Sewanee 24-6, and Sewanee’s late charge gave the Tigers only six more points, securing the final score of 24-12.

Washington and Lee (W&L) jumped out to an early start three minutes in with a Tommy Kennedy 30-yard field goal. Sewanee answered seven minutes later in the first with an Andrew Gould (Chatsworth, Ga.) kick through the uprights to even the score at three apiece.

Sewanee took a slight edge on the Generals early in the second quarter on another Gould kick, but W&L quarterback Charlie Westfal ran into the end zone just before the half to give W&L a slight 10-6 advantage going into halftime.

In the second half, W&L came on strong, eventually bringing its lead to 24-6. With just three minutes left, Sewanee began a late rally that would earn the Tigers a touchdown and then nearly another, but time ran out before the Tigers could finish. Newcomer Jacob Adams (Augusta,

The Sewanee men’s soccer team hosted Maryville Sept. 12 and Hunt-ingdon on Sept. 14.

The Maryville Scots handed a loss to the men’s soccer team Friday. After getting out to a 1-0 lead early, Sewanee eventually suffered a 4-1 loss in the match.

Freshman Matt Lightfoot (Ger-mantown, Tenn.) struck early for the Tigers in the fourth minute. Maryville tied it up late in the first half and then turned the screws in the second, get-ting the eventual 4-1 win.

Both teams had 13 shots on goal and both goalkeepers (Gainsville, Georgia’s, Johnny Nalley for Sewanee) nabbed two saves on the day.

Sewanee hosted Huntingdon (Ala.) College on Sunday for a rainy weekend match and took it to the Hawks with a 6-0 shutout.

Sewanee led 2-0 at the half and then doubled its scoring in the sec-ond for the six-goal win. In the first, Patrick Johnson (Cleveland, Tenn.)

Sewanee hosted Maryville in DIII women’s soccer action Friday night, Sept. 12, and played to a 2-2 draw with the visiting Scots.

Maryville got out to a 1-0 lead in the first half, but Sewanee answered with two goals in the second, only to be matched with a late goal by Maryville to secure the 2-2 final total.

Sewanee outshot Maryville 18-11 and took five corner kicks compared

In goal, Clarkie Crawford (Lou-isville, Ky.) logged 11 saves for the Tigers.

On Sunday, Sept. 14, Sewanee got out to a 2-1 first-half lead over Hendrix in SCAC action and then increased its lead to 3-1 to secure its first conference win.

Carly Grimm (South Salem, N.Y.) scored Sewanee’s first goal, and Caitlyn McNaughton (Middleberg, Va.) scored Sewanee’s other first-half goal. Grimm put the final ball in the net for Sewanee in the 58th minute of the game to secure the 3-1 win. Crawford had four saves in goal for Sewanee.

Sewanee moves to 3-1 with the win and is 1-1 in the SCAC. The Tigers face Transylvania and Wittenberg on the road this weekend.

SAS Cross Country: Shaver, Stewart Lead SAS at Fletcher ParkSenior Daniel Shaver (Sewanee)

and Keeley Stewart (Winchester) led the St. Andrew’s-Sewanee (SAS) effort at the Chattanooga Cross-Country League Race in Fletcher Park on Thursday, Sept. 11. Shaver placed third overall for the boys out of 206 runners, logging a time of 18:18. Returning state champ Stewart, a sophomore at SAS, placed 16th of 160 girls with a mark of 23:11 in her first race since overcoming tendonitis in her knee.

For the boys, Houston Jones (Se-wanee) was next for the Mountain Lions, running a 23:04 for the 5K race. Others performing well were Felix Huo (Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany), Cory Cho (Gyeonggi-do, Korea), Scott Owsley (Sewanee), Allen Tubbs (Webb, Miss.), and Jackson Spencer (Alexandria, Va.). Andrew Novotny (Starkville, Miss.) performed well in the JV race for the Mountain Lions.

SAS FootballDespite Buikai Massaqui’s 172

rushing yards and a total offense advantage of 203 yards to 130, the St. Andrew’s-Sewanee Mountain Lions fell to the Mount Juliet Christian Saints 43-0 at home on Saturday, Sept. 13. Tackling problems and an inability to finish offensive drives led to the team’s demise.

The Saints scored on the first play from scrimmage on a hook and lat-eral and then punched 30 points onto the scoreboard in the second quarter to take the wind out of the Mountain Lion’s sails by half time.

Senior captains Sean Hershman and Rob Hurst led the team in tackles with 7 and 5 respectively, each adding a sack. Emmanuel Gaubad added an interception to the defensive effort.The Lions play at home on Saturday, Sept. 20, against Scottsboro Christian, kicking off at 1:30 p.m.

SAS Girls’ Volleyball WinsThe St. Andrew’s-Sewanee (SAS)

girls’ volleyball team defeated Bledsoe County in a home match on Thursday night, Sept. 11 ( 25-16, 25-11 and 25-14). Maddie Griswold led SAS with a strong performance, recording 20 assists, 17 points and three digs. Elle Gilbert and Jodie Brown dominated net play, recording 17 and 10 kills respectively. Asia Szewczyk added 12 points and five digs; Ann McDonald had nine points and five digs; Mollie Ferrell had nine points, three kills and one block. SAS improved to 5-1 on the season.

St. Andrew’s-Sewanee’s varsity soccer team defeated Middle Ten-nessee Christian at home on Tuesday, Sept. 9. Senior captain Molly Midgett (Winchester) put the Mountain Lions on top in the first half with a long bending shot from the left flank. Throughout the match the Mountain Lions created many scoring opportu-nities, outshooting the Cougars 9-4, but were unable to convert to another goal. Senior goalkeeper Rachel Pope (Winchester) and junior Hannah Barry (Sewanee) fought hard to organize the defense, earning the Mountain Lions their first shutout of the year.

On Thursday, Sept. 11, the SAS Mountain Lions traveled to Bell Buckle for their first district match of the season against archrivals the Webb School. Webb took the early

SAS Varsity Soccer Moves to 3-2-1lead, scoring eight minutes into the match. Webb seemed to have the Mountain Lions on their heels until the second half, when the Mountain Lions settled down and began to get pressure on the ball. With only three minutes remaining in the match, Midgett dribbled down the left flank and served a high cross into the 6-yard box. Three SAS play-ers crashed the goal with freshman Allyson Ridley (South Pittsburg) hammering it home.

Coach Burns said, “I was particu-larly proud how we continued to fight for the ball up until the last minute.” During the last 10 minutes of the match, junior Greer Sims (Rome, Ga.) and freshman Sadie Shakelford (Sewanee) played some of their best soccer to date.

SAS Golf Posts Up Several WinsSt. Andrew’s-Sewanee Mountain

Lion golf team racked up several wins last week, including revenge on Rich-ard Hardy and Huntland schools.

The Lions improved their season opener score by 26 strokes as they defeated Van Buren County on its demanding home course (Fall Creek Falls) by a score of 232-203. For the second time in two days, Sewanee’s Stewart Anderson tied for medalist honors. He and Van Buren’s McCoy both had 48s.

In a match at Scenic View Golf Course in Decherd on Sept. 10, SAS golfer Julia Vollrath-Roediger took the

medalist award in a three-way match with Huntland and Moore County. She scored a 48, two strokes ahead of Huntland’s Austin Williams.

The team took revenge on Richard Hardy on Sept. 11 at the Sewanee golf club (225-212) in a five-way match. Anderson bested Richard Hardy’s leading player, 50-53. Vollrath-Roedi-ger, who still maintains the best team average for SAS, was one stroke away from Anderson. They were followed by David Brower (55) and Pledger Schaefer (56).

Nature NotesNature as Teacher

We are becoming a television and computer-based society, Harry Yeatman reflects. “These are very useful sources of information, but cannot take the place of experience with real things, and are sometimes inaccurate,” he observed. “They can complement knowledge of living organisms, but they cannot supplant the knowledge and enjoyment of real nature. It is time to learn from and to appreciate the live animals, plants and environment with which we share our planet earth.” A quota-tion from the Bible, he feels, is appropriate:

But ask now the beasts,And they shall teach thee;And the fowls of the air,

And they shall teach thee;Or speak to the earth,

And it shall teach thee;And the fishes of the seaShall declare unto thee.

Job 12:7–8“We will learn that animals and even plants show their own, individual

personalities and behaviors,” Yeatman said. Some individuals can survive hardships and some cannot. “We watch birds at our birdfeeders. We have observed one female Pileated Woodpecker repeatedly drive crows away from sunflower seed, but other Pileated females and males give way to these same approaching crows.” Be aware that some of the statement in-volving animal behavior and plant survival, as given in publications and on television, cannot agree with your experiences and observations.

“We can identify bird calls and songs from re-cordings, but they are poor substitutes for listening to these songs in the proper environment,” Yeatman continued. “Listen to the Wood Thrushes singing in Abbo’s Alley at dusk in late spring and early summer. Seeing the Grand Canyon or the giant trees of Cali-fornia in person is supe-rior to looking at pictures of these in books.”

“Several years ago, we showed some students a Bald Eagle standing on a sandy beach feeding on a fish. One girl excitedly said ‘That’s our National Bird.’ She had seen pictures of it, but this was the real thing,” Yeatman reminisced. “Nature can be harsh, but it is often beautiful. Participate with it, enjoy it and protect it. Share our environment with it.”
