The case of the Napried exemplifies the legal and ethical complexities faced by those who try to recover cultural material in the Mediterranean. Nineteenth-century antiquarian Luigi Palma di Cesnola had collected many early Cypriot artifacts. In 1872, he contracted the Napried, an Austro- Hungarian vessel, to transport his treasures, but the ship sank at an unknown location after departing from Beirut. How does a wreck like the Napried fit within the UNESCO Cesnola and Cypriot artifacts Lecture by Nautical Archaeologist Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage? Should ownership rights and the professional responsibility and standards for in- vestigating a site of this nature hinge on its location? Greene, an assistant professor in the Classics Department at Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario, has almost two decades of archaeological experience directing and participat- ing in excavation and survey projects throughout the Mediterranean. She has taught at Princeton and Rutgers universities, and is an adjunct pro- fessor at the Institute of Nautical Archaeology.

THANKS TO ALL FOR SUPPORT-ING THE PANCAKE SUPPERTo the Editor:
I would like to thank the Sewanee community for the overwhelming support of Otey Memorial Parish’s pancake supper! In particular, this year’s dedication to Otey’s faithful servant, Bob Jones, made the eve-ning especially meaningful to his family and everyone who knew him. All who attended truly represented a cross section of the Mountain fam-ily that Bob so dearly loved, and his spirit seemed to bring us all closer together.
Special thanks to Judy and Carey Wofford and the kitchen crew who worked so well as a team. Kappa Omega Sorority women served the meal and beverages and the cashiers found seats for the absolutely won-derful entertainment put together by Sandy Baird and Beth Charlton. Lizzie Duncan kept the acts rolling with the help of Peggy Peterson manning the audio system.
We are more than grateful for Ken Taylor’s talent of transforming Cra-vens into a Mardi Gras wonderland. Rick Sommer set up the tables, and table setters Rachel Suarez, Steve Burnett, Evie Patterson and Laurie Fisher completed the picture.
Bazzania put us in the right mood the minute we entered the door. The delicious door prizes, made by bakers extraordinaire Marleen Varner, Laurie Fisher and Ann Watkins, must have been enjoyed by those whose names were drawn by Freddie Tucker.
I’d like especially to acknowledge Jan Seigmund from the University of the South for the use of Cravens Hall.
Without this faithful group of vol-unteers, none of this would have been possible. Many thanks to all for a most memorable and enjoyable evening. We indeed are family.

Joel Cunningham, who has served since 2000 as vice chancellor and president of the University of the South, has announced his plans to retire on June 30, 2010, according to University Chancellor Henry Parsley Jr., bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama.
“Joel Cunningham has served with great distinction as Sewanee’s 15th vice-chancellor,” said Parsley, who accepted Cunningham’s decision on behalf of the University trustees. “We are deeply thankful for the extraordinary gifts and leadership of Joel and his wife, Trudy, and we look forward to their remaining in Sewanee and continuing to teach in the College.”
Parsley announced that Joel A. Smith, a 1967 graduate of the Univer-sity, will chair a representative search committee to guide the search for a new vice-chancellor. Cunningham’s administration has been charac-terized by fiscal discipline and a commitment to strategic planning, which have made possible signifi cant campus construction and renova-tion projects that have modernized Sewanee’s learning and living envi-ronments.
During Cunningham’s tenure, Sewanee has enjoyed record applica-tions to the undergraduate College of Arts and Sciences, growth in the infl uence and reach of the graduate School of Theology and increasing recognition as a leading national

The campaign was highlighted by increased resources for scholarships, extensive facil-ity construction and the addition of 3,000 acres in Lost Cove to the Uni-versity’s landholdings.
“It has been a privilege to serve the University of the South and to work with our outstanding students and others whose love and devotion for Sewanee make it such an extraordi-nary place,” Cunningham said. “Trudy and I are delighted that we will remain a part of the community here.”Curbside

At the Feb. 23 Community Council meeting, Sewanee resident Lawrence Gibson brought to the council mem-bers’ attention the traffi c hazard at the junction of Florida Avenue and South Carolina Avenue. According to Gibson, Florida Avenue’s nar-row width makes navigating the intersection particularly diffi cult, a circumstance exacerbated by bushes blocking visibility. Other residents at-tending the meeting corroborated the need for improvement at the intersec-tion. The general consensus was that “the bushes need [to be] drastically trimmed.” It was not known whether the bushes were on the right of way or a leasehold. Vice-Chancellor Joel Cunningham said that the University would look into the issue regarding the bushes, but that widening the road was a matter that would need to be taken up with Franklin County of-fi cials. Police Chief Robert White will

discuss the problem with Franklin County Highway Commissioner Joe David McBee.
Council representative Shirley Taylor also raised a traffic-related concern about vehicles exceeding the speed limit on Kennerly Road, which is now a main route to campus as a re-sult of new construction. “It’s like the interstate,” Taylor said, commenting on the early morning traffi c. Coun-cilman David Coe suggested speed bumps might resolve the problem. The VC replied that speed bumps had been proposed for other locations, but the idea was rejected, because they posed road maintenance diffi culties. Addressing Councilwoman Taylor’s concerns, Chief White promised to post a patrol car on Kennerly Road as often as possible.
Representative Pam Byerly re-ported on the community cleanup scheduled for March 7, from noon until 2 p.m. Under Byerly’s supervi-sion, sororities and fraternities will target specifi c locations. She invites and encourages the participation of community residents, asking that people work their neighborhoods. Those joining in the community project should meet at the Bishop’s Common at 11:30 a.m. Saturday to pick up collection bags. The bags are to be left at the roadside. Byerly is arranging for collection.
At the previous Council meeting, concerns were expressed about the practice of buses parked at the gym leaving their diesel motors running. Chief White reported that signs had been posted stipulating that buses must turn off their motors and that notifi cation was sent to the charter companies advising them that parked buses were prohibited from leaving their motors running for more than 10 minutes. Buses that need to leave their motors running for longer than 10 minutes were being directed to park at the old dairy building site, White added, noting that buses had been parking there since the summer, and he had received no complaints.
Chief White also reported on steps taken to address the complaints about
Community Council Takes Up Traffi c Hazard Issuesthe overly bright lights at the rear of Regions Bank. White brought the issue to the bank’s attention, and as a result, the lights have been angled downward and reduced in brightness by 60 percent. For security reasons, no further illumination reduction is possible; any further remediation would need to involve the three pole lights in Parson’s Green. Councilman Phil Loney asked if the pole lights could be dimmed. White will ex-plore the possibility of lower wattage fi xtures or baffl ing to minimize the brightness.
Coe requested an update on plans for the new golf course. University Chief Financial Offi cer Jerry Forster responded that discussion continues about the need for increasing the distance from the bluff, but that the basic concept remains unchanged. Forster noted that construction will not begin in the near future, because the funds raised so far were not suf-fi cient to fi nance the project. Council-man Dennis Meeks commented that he believed most of the community would be satisfi ed with improving the present golf course. Most of the donations have been designated for a new course, Forster said.
In response to a question about improving cell phone service in the community, Forster reported on a recent meeting with an AT&T liaison. AT&T understood the community’s needs, according to Forster, and the company is willing to partner with the owner of the communications tower. The possibility of receiving service from Verizon is “unpredict-able,” Forster conceded, noting that Verizon committed to installing equipment over a year ago and had received a “green light” regarding all environmental concerns.
The Community Council meets on the fourth Monday of the month, at 7 p.m. in the Sewanee Senior Citizens’ Center. The next meeting is scheduled for March 23. Agenda items are due in the Provost’s office by noon on Monday, March 16.

ChurchNews Obituary
Kathy BacklundKathryn Diane “Kathy” Backlund
of Sewanee was born in Pasadena, Calif., on Nov. 26, 1949, to Gerald and Ann Carson, and died on Feb. 21, 2009, at Southern Tennessee Medical Center.
After their mother’s death in 1951, she and her sister, Janet, were raised by their grandmother, Margaret Oden, in Shreveport, La. There Kathy graduated from Byrd High School in 1967 and Centenary College in 1971 with a bachelor’s degree in vocal performance.
She taught voice and was active in musical and theatrical productions in New York; Lincoln, Neb.; and Jackson, Mich., where she especially enjoyed an opportunity to perform with Ed Asner. Kathy married Dan Backlund and moved to Sewanee in 1989 with her son from her fi rst marriage, Jason Engle, who attended St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School and the University of the South.
Sewanee audiences remember her rich mezzo-soprano voice in concert with the University Choir, the Sewanee Chorale and the University Orchestra—in particular as soloist in Haydn’s “Mass in Time of War” and Handel’s “Messiah.” Sewanee theater-goers will remember her as Dame Carruthers in “Yeomen of the Guard” and Frau Schneider in “Cabaret.” She appeared in many Theatre/Sewanee productions, including “Guys and Dolls,” “The Rhymers of Eldritch” and “The Cripple of Inishmaan.”
From 1989 to 1998 Kathy worked with Shipp and Judith Webb as offi ce manager and fabricator of jewelry. She did typesetting and proofread-ing for The Sewanee Mountain Messenger from 1993 to 1996. She was appreciated campuswide for her cheerful and conscientious work as customer service coordinator of the University’s Physical Plant Service from 1998 until her death.
Kathy was an active volunteer and crisis counselor with the Sewanee chapter of the National Organization for Women. She was a regular donor and fund-raiser for the Franklin County Humane Society (and adop-tive parent of dogs Sali and Kaiya) and took an active role with the Democratic Women.
In addition to her husband, Dan; sister, Janet (Carl) Lewis, of Stonewall, La.; father, Gerald Carson, of Shreve-port; and son, Jason, of Jackson, Mich., Kathy is survived by her dear aunt, Linda Smith of Austin, Texas; cousins, Lori, Dyanne and Tanner Bush, all of Austin; and Jack and Jean Hooker of Mt. Pleasant, Texas.
A celebration of Kathy’s life will be held on Monday, March 9, at 4 p.m. in the University’s Convocation Hall.
“This is planned as an informal, come as you are celebration of her life,” according to her husband, Dan. “A short program will begin with some thoughts Kathy wished to share with us all, followed by refreshments and fellowship—please bring a Kathy story to share with friends!”
In lieu of fl owers, the family re-quests that donations be made to the Kathy Backlund Theatre Arts Schol-arship Fund through the University’s Development Offi ce, 735 University Ave., Sewanee, TN 37383-1000 or to a charity of your choice.

On Feb. 23, members of the Se-wanee Garden Club gathered at Bob-bie Steffner’s house to hear David Haskell, professor of biology, describe his family’s sustainable living opera-tion in Sewanee. Haskell and his wife, Sarah Vance, moved here 11-and-a- half years ago.
As an Englishman who loves pars-nips, Haskell knew he’d have to grow his own here in the South. He and Vance grow many other vegetables, some of which they can or freeze. Haskell had gardened with his grand-father, and Vance had grown up on a dairy farm and was also a gardener. Soon they added a few goats, and Vance started to make cheese, yogurt and soaps.
The addition of ducks provided eggs and ridded the earth of grubs and other pesky insects. Haskell uses the bedding from the ducks’ stalls to enrich the garden soil and increase the number of earthworms. The soil retains its moisture and almost never requires any watering. Haskell has outwitted predator animals with some ingenious devices to keep them
Haskell’s Sustainable Living Discussed with Garden Club
out of the garden and has built pens and stalls for night protection of the goats and ducks. Gradually, the Haskells developed an ecologically sustainable system.
After a lively discussion, the group enjoyed refreshments provided by Yolande Gottfried and Sue Garland. The March 23 meeting will be hosted by Jane Flynn.
Barbara Schlichting, University superintendent of leases, provided the following summary of the Feb. 18 meeting of the Lease Committee.
The meeting was called to order, and the following items were ap-proved: the January minutes; the request to replace the front door and to remove windows and replace with rock to match the rest of the house at Lease No. 530, located at 151 Tennes-see Ave.; the request to transfer Lease No. 801, located at 296 Sherwood Road, to Joe and Libby Thoni; the request to replace the existing porch on Lease No. 528, located at 115 University Ave., pending approval of paint color and materials; the request to increase the size of Lease No. 238, located at 710 Lake O’Donnell Road, by .13 acres and to rebuild a dilapi-dated shed; list of off-campus hous-ing for the upcoming year presented by Residential Life; and short-term rental on Lease No. 630, located at 230 Tennessee Ave., provided the lease-holder is in residence.

The Board of Commissioners of the Sewanee Utility District (SUD) of Franklin and Marion Counties held its regular monthly business meeting Feb. 24 at the SUD offi ce building on Sherwood Road. The board elected the following officers to serve in 2009: Doug Cameron, president; Rick Sommer, vice president; Ken Smith, secretary.
The board discussed at length whether to grant exceptions to the tap fee increase approved at the Oct. 28, 2008, business meeting. The fee increased approximately 200 percent (from $1,975 to $4,151) as a result of
SUD Board Elects Offi cers, Considers Bill Adjustments
Water System Development and Wa-ter Resources charges implemented in order to pay for system improve-ments and the acquisition of new water supply sources made necessary by taking on new customers.
A contractor and a prospective home builder asked to be grandfa-thered in at the prior rate, which was in effect when they phoned the offi ce to inquire about tap fees in conjunc-tion with their respective building projects; neither applied for a tap at the time. (Customers with applica-tions on fi le were grandfathered in at the old rate.)
The Oct. 9 Messenger reported the prospective rate increase and the board’s intention to vote on the issue on Oct. 28. It was argued that notifi cation should have appeared in customer bills. Board president Cam-eron pointed out that most prospec-tive customers do not receive bills. To the argument that more explicit notifi cation highlighting the increase should have appeared in the newspa-per, SUD Manager Ben Beavers said he had conferred with SUD’s attorney on the matter, and SUD is under no legal obligation, aside from posting fee increases in the minutes. The board voted down a motion to grant exceptions to the tap fee increase.
The board also took up a request for a corrected bill from SUD custom-ers who own a home on Summit Trail, but reside in Tullahoma. The custom-ers normally receive a minimum use bill of $9.60, except when the house is rented. For the Jan. 10 to Feb. 10 period, they received a bill for over $5,000 with usage of 580,400 gallons. The owners checked the home Jan. 29, and there was no sign of leaking water. SUD meter readers detected the problem Feb. 10, observing the high usage and rapidly revolving meter, and turned off the tap.
Inspection by a plumber hired by the customers revealed spray leaks in two cracked pipes. To register this type of usage, Beavers estimated a fl ow of 57,000 gallons per day on the property in the 12-day period, but he found no signs of erosion when he investigated the site. In support of the customers’ request for an adjust-ment, Beavers said it was “unlikely” that that much water passed from the property. He estimated spray leaks

Franklin County homeowners threatened with default or foreclosure can receive free assistance dealing with their mortgage servicers by contacting certifi ed counselors ap-proved by the Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA).
“Foreclosure intervention coun-seling is a highly specialized service, and our counseling agencies have earned certifi cation and have adopt-ed the National Industry Foreclosure Counseling Standards,” said Ted R. Fellman, THDA executive director.
Fellman said THDA’s certified foreclosure intervention counsel-ors possess a strong knowledge of mortgage default and/or foreclosure intervention counseling, specifi cally relating to current industry practices of loss mitigation to include loan repayment, forbearance, modifi ca-tion, refinance, loan assumption, short sale, deed-in-lieu, community referrals, and other remedies avail-able to the homeowner to avoid foreclosure.
“Homeowners struggling with the threat of losing their home need the assistance of a no-cost professional counselor to help them develop a plan of action to deal with their situation,” he said. “Tennesseans facing this issue should be wary of foreclosure scam artists who promise to assist them for a fee.”
THDA certifi ed counseling agen-cies available to Franklin County residents are as follows: Affordable Housing Resources, (615) 251-0025; Life of Victory Ministries, (615) 213-1468; and Woodbine Community Organization, (615) 850-3453.

University–SES CooperationAs part of a class studying children’s literature, University students have
been visiting Sewanee Elementary School to work with students in several classrooms. Senior Kaylie Castleberry has been working with the students in Gail Sherrill’s second-grade class. The focus of the study is to increase the students’ love of reading and appreciation of different genres of literature. As part of her class requirement, Castleberry provided students with several writing and art projects involving different genres.
Pictured are Sewanee senior Kaylie Castleberry with SES students Katie Sherrill and Conner Durm.
St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School an-nounces that Mack Prichard, Tennes-see’s longtime, recently retired state naturalist, is the 2009 recipient of the Yeatman Award for Environmental Education. Prichard will be honored during the sixth “perennial” Trails & Trilliums on April 18–19, at SAS. This celebration of native plants includes guided hikes, speakers’ presenta-tions, a garden tour and children’s activities.
Also honored will be the Land Trust for Tennessee in appreciation for its members’ efforts in preserv-ing the South Cumberland Plateau, especially the recent gift of 3,000 acres in Lost Cove to the University of the South. President and Execu-tive Director of the Land Trust for Tennessee Jeanie Nelson will receive the organization’s award and serve as this year’s keynote speaker for Trails & Trilliums.
The Yeatman award is named for esteemed environmental educator Harry Yeatman, professor emeritus of biology of the University of the South. Mack Prichard and the Land Trust will be honored at an evening recep-tion, Wine & Wildfl owers, on April 18. According to Dr. Yeatman, “Mack has done a wonderful job of spreading the good word about conservation in the state. He has made so many
SAS Trails & Trilliums to Honor Prichard, Land Trust of Tennessee
talks, led so many hikes. And he is very interesting! He has given loads of publicity to the need for conservation, and I am delighted that he is being honored this year.”
Over the past 40 years, Prichard traveled more than one million miles across Tennessee, took some 20,000 photographs and spoke to at least 2,500 audiences, spreading the need for conservation along with his love of nature. He served as park naturalist, state archaeologist and natural areas administrator prior to being named Tennessee’s first state naturalist.

Jessie Ball duPont Library’s fourth annual Edible Books Festival is com-ing on April 1. Everyone is encouraged to enter the contest and have fun eat-ing the entries after they are judged.
To get an idea of what others have created for previous worldwide festi-vals, Google “Edible Books Festival.” A favorite “punny” book is “Frank in Stein,” depicted as a frankfurter person caged in a beer stein being attacked by gummy worms. Many people like to make books out of cake, but books have been made from cheese, hummus, grapes and other fruit, phyllo, olives, seaweed and all kinds of edible substances. Prizes will be awarded in two age categories.
The festival is a great April Fool’s Day custom. Start thinking about your entry now, and stay tuned for details. For more information contact Wanda Cheston, 598-1658, or Joan Blocher, 598-1778.

The group has provided spaying and neutering for 158 pets since the fall, saving county residents and taxpayers thousands of dollars in vet bills.

50th Anniversary of the Dedication of the Polk Memorial Carillon: The chapel construction years 1957–1959
During the 1957–58 school year, services continued in the existing chapel with the new construction taking place on all sides. The narthex was added on the west end of the rectangular nave. The choir and sanctuary were added on the east end. A wing at the northeast corner added the sacristy, St. Augustine’s chapel, an altar guild work room, and offi ces. On the south side, Shapard Tower was started.
In 1958, the bells were shipped from France to New Orleans and then transferred to rail cars for their journey to Sewanee. Photographs from the time show the bells then being transferred from the rail cars to trucks for the trip up the hill to the chapel. Placement of the bells in the tower started in the summer of 1958 and ended in that autumn, as the in-stallation was concomitant with the tower construction. The largest bell, the 7,500 pound bourdon, was put in fi rst on the third level of the tower. A picture of Sally McCrady Hubbard with the bourdon still on the ground was taken by her mother, Edith Mc-Crady. Another photo shows the next seven bells in place, as the narthex is being worked on. Other photos exist which show the upper 48 bells in their frame on the fourth level. For each level, the bells were put into the tower when the tower was at the correct height, and then the walls at that level were completed and the next level was started. The playing cabin is located at the bottom part of the fourth level, above the eight largest bells and below the 48 smaller bells. One of Bigelow’s goals was to minimize the lengths of the wires that connect the batons on the clavier to the clappers in the bells. Watson adds that the lengths of the wires are particularly important with the treble bells, where the action needs to be the most sensitive. With the split design for the bell chambers, the longest connection is about 15 feet (except for the connection to the bourdon).
During the 1958–59 school year there were no services in the chapel, as the construction that had started at the peripheries came right into

Chaplain Collins told Waring McCrady that it was really awkward bowing to the silver screen while the organist, Paul McConnell, wheezed on a little por-table reed organ. Waring adds that everybody hated the un-liturgical theatre situation, and complaints were made in the Purple, but there was no handier solution, and the unsatisfactory situation continued until it was no longer necessary. Sunday services were held in the old Ormond Simpkins gymnasium, and some hangings and other accoutre-ments were taken to the gymnasium to make it seem like a church!

what I make.” Dasom was proud that people wanted the work of her hands and were willing to pay for it. “When I told my father about my sales, he was proud of me, but he suggested that rather than spend the money, I might use it to learn a second lesson—I should learn what it feels like to help others. I asked around for suggestions, and my world history teacher Burki Gladstone suggested that I consider the Amazing Grace Orphanage.”
Gladstone had learned about Amazing Grace during a 2006 chapel talk by National Geographic photog-rapher and SAS alumnus Stephen Alvarez. Alvarez had recently visited the orphanage and had put together a photographic exhibit titled, “Through the Glass Darkly: Confl ict and After-math on the Sudan–Uganda Border” which was on display in the school’s gallery.
Susan Abiku Tabia founded the Amazing Grace Orphanage in 1994 in response to the desperate need caused by unrest in southern Sudan and across the border in refugee camps set up in Uganda. Approximately 30 children live at the orphanage. Alvarez’s talk inspired the SAS sixth grade to sponsor one of the orphans, a tradition that has continued with each subsequent class so that the middle school is now connected to the Amazing Grace with the sponsor-ship of three children.
For Dasom there was a connection as well: “I had represented Sudan in our school’s Model United Nations, so I knew a lot about the area and the problems there.” In a strange coincidence, the amount Dasom had to donate— $400— was equal to the donations that initially funded the location and construction of the or-phanage, a fi gure that puts the power of Dasom’s gift in perspective.
On Feb. 27, Dasom had the oppor-tunity to meet with Leisha Adams, the partnership and sponsor coordinator for Lahash International, the organi-
zation that supports Amazing Grace. Adams was on the SAS campus to visit with the middle schoolers and to thank them and Dasom for their support and for the impact they have made in the children’s lives. The two talked about how the gift came to be and about the ongoing need for support.
Dasom, whose name means “love” in Korean, is now hoping for the op-portunity to travel to the Sudan and Uganda for her next lesson.

SAS MS Students Enjoy WinterimEach year, St. Andrew’s-Sewanee
Middle School students stop going to classes for one week in February to participate in morning and after-noon workshops. The week is called Winterim, an annual tradition to dispel the mid-winter blahs.
During the week of Feb. 23, stu-dents had opportunities to explore bouldering, scriptwriting, animation, knitting, soccer, storytelling, animal care and musical theatre. One group created a radio broadcast for the school’s radio station, WMTN 102.5, The Mountain. Another group will do a reading of the play “Inherit the Wind,” a fi ctionalized account of the Scopes trial. Students could choose to explore outdoor skills, such as fi re building, safe hiking, map reading, and knot tying, or explore Chinese culture through taiji, calligraphy, language and cooking.
On Feb. 23, sixth- and seventh- graders met with Carter Roberts, head of the World Wildlife Fund. On Feb. 25, they took an all-class hike and bike. On Friday, Feb. 27, the entire middle school met with Leisha Adams, a representative from Lahash International, who talked about Amazing Grace Orphanage in Uganda. Each middle school class is sponsoring the education of a child who lives at the orphanage.
“We have found that our students love this mid-winter break in rou-tine,” said Doug Burns, director of the middle school. “As much as anything, they enjoy seeing their teachers in a different light, and we love sharing some of our interests with them.”
SAS sixth-grader William Gilchrist (right) shows Sewanee Elementary students Kenneth Dykes and Katie Sherrill a baby squirrel. The SAS students had spent the week training with SAS public relations director and wildlife rehabilitation specialist Margaret Matens as part of the school’s Winterim program and went to SES to teach the students about wild animals. The baby squirrel was rescued from a fallen tree on the University of the South campus after the last round of windstorms.

Sports ScoreboardSUD Board Elects, Considers from page 6 . . .resulted in a loss of 51,000 gallons in 12 days, at a cost of approximately $100 or $300, depending on whether the high or low usage rate applied. The board voted to adjust the bill to refl ect $200 in water sales plus taxes and to drop all penalties.
In other business, the board voted to approve an amended purchase order to Pall Corporation for two half-million-gallon membrane fi lter trains, as opposed to a one-million-gallon membrane filter train. The amendment was the result of recent design modifications to the new water plant in order to meet the ap-
proval of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC).
Manager Beavers reported that he had received no news on when TDEC would lift the moratorium placed on SUD’s wastewater treatment plant in 2005, prohibiting SUD from taking on new sewer customers unless TDEC granted an exception. Following the 2005 violation, SUD took corrective action and has since remained in compliance with all regulations. The TDEC offi cials who were reviewing SUD’s status recently retired; the decision on whether to lift the mora-torium now rests with new TDEC offi -cers. Since 2009, SUD has added nine new sewer connections by receiving special permission from TDEC.
Beavers updated the board on his
investigation into Stimulus Package funding for construction of the new water plant. He found that the water plant project is not eligible because SUD has already been approved for a loan. Beavers said, however, SUD did qualify for funding for two other proposed projects: automatic meter reading and sewer collection system leak detection. On the board’s rec-ommendation, Beavers will pursue Stimulus Package funding for both projects.
The Board of Commissioners of the Sewanee Utility District holds its regular business meeting on the fourth Tuesday of each month, at 5 p.m. in the SUD offi ce building on Sherwood Road. The next meeting is scheduled for March 24.

Tiger of the Week: Will Holloway
Sewanee sophomore men’s ten-nis player Will Holloway of Augusta, Ga., has been named Tiger of the Week for his play the week of Feb. 23–March 1.
Holloway earned a commanding 6-1, 6-0 singles win over scholarship player Johannes Jonsson at No. 5 and then picked up a solid 8-2 win at No. 3 with partner Andrew Jolley. The Tigers topped NAIA school Cum-berland 5-4 against a team made up entirely of scholarship tennis players on Feb. 26.
“In a tight match against Cumber-land, Will Holloway stepped up with two big wins,” said veteran Sewanee coach John Shackelford. “Missing his doubles partner, Jay Hill, Will showed both flexibility and leadership in
teaming with Andrew Jolley for the win at No. 3 doubles. He then showed how tough he can be in singles with a mix of aggressive and consistent baseline play.”

SMS Soccer Opens with Shutout
On Feb. 26 in Fayetteville City, South Middle School’s soccer team opened its season with an 8-0 shut-out. SMS Trojans scored early, when Javier Roque completed the work started by Jesse Hayes and Trevor Dykes to put South up 2-0 in the fi rst six minutes of play.
Dykes scored a goal of his own, and Jesus Sanchez and Hayes fin-ished out the fi rst half by scoring. The second half brought three more goals, as Jose Garcia scored twice and Austin Scott brought in the fi nal talley. The Trojans’ defense, led by sweeper Caleb Limbaugh, only al-lowed Fayetteville four shots on goal, all in the fi rst half.
South opens conference play on Friday, March 6, at home against Tullahoma.
The SAS middle school boys’ soc-cer team had a home fi eld advantage when they played Highland Rim Academy on Feb. 23, which was the fi rst match of the season.
Even though they had only had a few days of practice, the SAS boys did an excellent job of communicating with each other on the fi eld, and they quickly found a rhythm and started working together as a team, reports coach John Owsley. A little over fi ve minutes into the game, Arden Azarbarzin found a hole in Highland Rim’s defense and scored the first goal of the season. A few minutes later, Hunter Craighill crashed the goal and fi nished a loose ball before the defenders or the goalie could get to it. A few minutes later, Slater Goodson drilled a diagonal shot past the keeper for the third goal of the game.
Three minutes into the second half, Azarbarzin was fouled. His direct kick sailed over the wall of de-fenders’ heads and dropped under the crossbar. Highland Rim got their fi rst goal of the game midway through the half. With less than 30 seconds left on
SAS MS Boys’ Soccer Wins Twothe clock, Andrew Heitzenrater cre-ated a break away down the right side of the fi eld, and from 20 yards out, he centered the ball to Abe Johnson, who picked up the fi fth and last goal of the game.
A few days later, the SAS MS boys’ soccer team traveled to Fayetteville, Tenn., to play South Lincoln. Again, Azarbarzin picked up the fi rst goal of the game. Near the middle of the fi rst half of the game, Sidney Durant picked up SAS’s second goal. In the second half Johnson, caught in con-gestion, played the ball back to Robert Post, who, from at least 25 yards out, made a picture-perfect shot over the crowded middle of the fi eld and just out of reach of the keeper’s hands. Edwin Keeble picked up SAS’s fourth goal of the game by following through on a run up the middle and driving a loose ball into the back of the net. With only a few minutes left to go, Slater Goodson took the ball deep into the right corner and centered it to Merritte Broxson, who was well positioned at the far post, just waiting for the opportunity to pick up his fi rst goal of the season.
Sewanee competed at Murray State University on Feb. 28 and March 1 in collegiate equestrian action, taking fi fth place on Saturday and rounding out the weekend with a seventh-place fi nish on Sunday.
On Saturday Whitney Myers highlighted the Tiger effort with a fi rst-place fi nish in the novice fl at. Assistant coach Carrie Barske earned a top fi nish on Saturday with a fi rst place in alumni fences and third in the alumni fl at.

Tigers Take No. 1 Seed Trinity to OT
Sewanee opened the 2009 SCAC Men’s Basketball Championships against No. 1 seed Trinity and nearly upset the favorite.
Trinity led 19-18 at the half and eventually got the 53-52 win in over-time. The game was tied at 45 at the end of regulation, and Trinity edged out Sewanee 8-7 in the overtime period. Sewanee led 52-48 with 16 seconds left, but a Jonathan Lewis trey and a layup by BJ Moon, with one second left, gave Trinity the edge.
Ben Pursell and Bradley Pierson teamed up for 33 of Sewanee’s 52 points, with Pursell logging a team- high 19. Casey Berry had eight points, four steals and three assists. In the last game of their career, Sewanee’s seniors totaled 44 of the 52 Tiger points.
“I couldn’t be more proud of our seniors in how they shouldered our team down the stretch of the season and in today’s game,” added Sewanee coach Bubba Smith. “They can walk away from today’s performance proud of how they represented Se-wanee, both on and off the court. We wanted to walk away from this season playing our best basketball, and today Trinity got our best. Hope-fully today’s performance will be a great motivation for our young guys and a building block for the future of Sewanee basketball.”
Sewanee finishes the 2008–09 season at 7-19.
Men’s Lacrosse Falls to KenyonThe Sewanee men’s lacrosse team
played at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, on Feb. 28, and the Tigers fell 18-2 after trailing 11-1 at the half.
Will Grimes and Jack Thomasson each had goals, and in goal Stewart Calder had 16 saves for Sewanee.
Sewanee, at 0-2, hosted York on March 4 on the Mountain.
Men’s Tennis Bests Cumberland
Sewanee hosted NAIA school Cum-berland on Feb. 26, and after Sewanee won two doubles matches and two singles matches, No. 3 player Philip Kuntz pulled through with a third set win to clinch the win for the Tigers.
No. 1 Sewanee doubles players Charlie Boyd and Henry Litchfield won their doubles match 8-5, and Andrew Jolley and Will Holloway provided a second doubles win at No. 3. Kuntz, Jeff Lepley and Holloway won singles matches to give Sewanee the 5-4 edge.
“Our guys played very well this afternoon against a team of all schol-arship athletes. I am especially proud of Andrew Jolley, who stepped in for a sick Jay Hill and earned us some points and Philip Kuntz, who won a clutch fi fth match when we had four on the board,” said coach John Shackelford.
Sewanee’s next competition will be against SCAC foes Southwestern, Oglethorpe and Centre on Saturday, March 7, and Sunday, March 8, on the Mountain. The Tigers are 2-1.Men’s Golf Opens
Season; Osborne Shoots 74
The Sewanee men’s golf team opened its 2009 season at the Wyn-lakes Wynternationals in Montgom-ery on Feb. 23–24, and the Tigers closed the two-day event with 329—a two-stroke improvement from Mon-day’s 331. Huntingdon College won the event, shooting a 293 on Tuesday for a 591 total. Rhodes College was second.
Sewanee’s Robert Osborne shot sub-80 rounds each day, closing with a 74 on Tuesday, good for eighth place. Others in Sewanee’s top fi ve were Will Stanley (28th place), Neil Dyer (44th place), Alex Coe (47th place) and Martin Tilson (48th place).
Women’s Tennis Falls to Cumberland
Sewanee hosted NAIA in-state foe Cumberland on Feb. 25, and the Lady Tiger tennis team fell to the visitors 7-2. Ashley Macon picked up a win in the exhibition No. 7 singles spot.
On the doubles end of the match, Shannon Logsdon and Abby Rudd highlighted the Tiger effort with an 8-2 win at the No. 2 spot. In singles, Michelle Flume beat her opponent 6-0, 6-1 in the No. 3 spot.
Sewanee’s next matches will be at home against SCAC foes Southwest-ern and Oglethorpe on Saturday.
Tiger Track and Field Hosts Indoor

Allan Long (Signal Mountain, Tenn.) was the top Sewanee fin-isher, taking second in the 55-meter hurdles with a 7.87 mark. Chalankis Brown (Millbrook, Ala.) was third in the 55 meter dash with a 6.56 mark. He was also fi fth in the 200-meter dash. Tyler Cooney (Mt.

“I thought our team performed very well in our last big indoor meet of the season. Now we can spend a few weeks focusing on training and allowing some injuries and sickness-es to pass to prepare for our outdoor season,” added Sewanee coach Jeff Heitzenrater after the meet.
Sewanee’s next competition will be at Birmingham-Southern in two weeks to kick off the 2009 outdoor season.

Nature Notes
Waterfowl ObservationsOn Feb. 23, Jean and Harry Yeatman and Jean Raulston went
to Stevenson, Ala., to enjoy seeing waterfowl on the wide Crow Creek Wildlife Reservation. They took binoculars and a long-range spotting scope to identify ducks and other birds out on the water.
There were wonderful views of many Green-winged Teal (pictured above), the males colorfully marked with red heads, topped with green around the eyes. A vertical white mark was conspicuous near the front of the gray body. The females are speckled brown. The teal swam past some mallards, which are much larger ducks.
Some white-bodied ducks with red sloping heads and black bills were identifi ed as Canvasback Ducks. Some loud “honking” led the observers to many Canada Geese. About a dozen long-legged Great Blue Herons were standing in the water, and fl ying when disturbed. Coots were seen all over the water, diving for water plants. A single Pied-billed Grebe was nearby, disap-pearing under the water for water insects, crayfi sh and small minnows. Canvasbacks dove for water celery and other plants.
Mallards, teal and many other ducks tipped their foreparts down to reach plants in shallow water. The tail and hind end protrude above the water (pictured at right), while its bill procures the food.
Watch birds to observe their feed-ing and other behaviors. Some kinds of ducks spring out of the water, while some have to gain speed by running on the water before taking off.

Trinity PlaceThe pigeons that peck at the grass in Trinity Churchyard Are pompous as bankers. They walk with an air, they preen Their prosperous feathers. They smugly regard their beauty. They are plump, they are sleek. It is only the men who are lean.
The pigeons scan with disfavor the men who sit there, Listless in sun or shade. The pigeons sidle Between the gravestones with shrewd, industrious motions. The pigeons are busy. It is only the men who are idle.
The pigeons sharpen their beaks on the stones, and they waddle In dignifi ed search of their proper, their daily bread. Their eyes are small with contempt for the men on the benches. It is only the men who are hungry. The pigeons are fed.
