EVERY LIFE IS PRECIOUSTo the Editor:
I would like to address the letter in the Messenger on Sept. 25, 2008. It was very disappointing and dismay-ing to try to understand how one family could be singled out and not shown sympathy. This is supposed to be the Bible Belt of our nation. God has no respect for one person’s life over another’s. He loves everyone unconditionally. All of us will be ac-countable on Judgment Day.
I did not know Kermit Bryson, but everyone I have heard from had only good things to say about him. Of course none of us knows what really happened on that dreadful day.
Every single life is precious. Please show members of this family respect in their time of mourning. You never know when something could happen to you.

INSPIRED BY FEAR OR HOPE?To the Editor:
In these last weeks before our national election, let’s peel back the layers of sound bites and smears to consider what really inspires our vote. I propose that our actual motivations lie beneath the litany of candidate promises and political banter. We know how the tenets of one party’s platform foster fear, and the tenets of the other foster hope. The difference jibes perfectly with the way some of us see the cup half empty, and some see it half full.
As you watch the last debate or listen to TV and radio ads for presi-dent, take a moment to consider, Are you inspired by fear or by hope? Your answer, my friends, will render your choice for president. It’s as simple as that.
Lynn Cimino-HurtSewanee n
GUILT BY ASSOCIATION GOES BOTH WAYSTo the Editor:
Sarah Palin’s accusation that Ba-rack Obama is “palling around with terrorists” is false. She is reaching heights of recklessness in yet another effort to make Obama seem danger-ous and unpatriotic.
Obama was a child when Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, engaged in their alleged “radical” acts—for which they were never tried. Obama and Ayers were part of a group working to secure an Annenberg educational grant for Chicago’s schools. They were both on the board of the Woods fund, a chari-table organization. Ayers hosted one fund-raiser for Obama some years ago. These contacts are a far stretch from “palling around.”
Let’s apply Sarah Palin’s logic to Palin herself and to McCain. Accord-ing to Palin’s fundamentalist religious beliefs, her unmarried pregnant daughter would be categorized as a fornicator, that is, an unmarried person who engages in sex. And, ac-cording to Palin’s logic, which claims Ayers is still a terrorist, her daughter will always be a fornicator, even after she’s married, and Palin will always be the mother of a fornicator.
John McCain was one of five poli-ticians caught in the Keating Savings & Loan scandal. McCain took family vacations with Charles Keating, who was convicted of fraud, racketeer-ing and conspiracy. Thus, McCain is still suspect because 20 years ago he “palled around” with a convicted criminal.
Phil LoneySewanee n
OBAMA’S EXPERIENCE USEFUL FOR WHITE HOUSETo the Editor:
I’m tired of John McCain’s ads and some of his supporters telling stories that Barack Obama is inexperienced. Republicans have mocked Obama as if he’d just appeared out of his com-munity organizer days.
Consider, instead, the facts: In the U.S. Senate, Obama has served on the foreign relations, homeland security, veterans affairs, health, education, and labor and pensions committees. Before that, he served eight years in the Illinois state senate. He earned a degree in political science specializ-ing in international relations, gradu-ated at the top of his class at Harvard Law School and was president of the Harvard Law Review.
Early in his career, he worked in Chicago as a community organizer. As director of DCP, he helped initiate an effective job training program, college preparatory tutoring program and tenants’ rights organization—all with a staff of one and budget of $70,000. He was a civil rights attorney for nine years and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago for 12 years.
In the U.S. Senate, Obama spon-sored 570 pieces of legislation and
in the Illinois state senate, 823. Obama’s first U.S. law was passed with Republican Tom Coburn, allowing Americans to go online to see how every tax dollar is spent; see <www .federalspending.gov>.
We need calm, considered, intel-ligent judgment in the White House. During the past eight years, someone who is as familiar with constitutional law as Obama is would have been helpful in the White House.

PALIN, A REAL CHANGETo the Editor:
In light of recent letters to the edi-tor condemning VP candidate Sarah Palin, I feel she deserves a differing opinion. It has been said (Messenger, Letter to the Editor, Oct. 2, 2008) that Governor Palin is a shady character. She is a sheer delight when compared to the reported shady and dangerous parts of Senator Obama’s life over the many years. Easy research: associa-tion with Ayers, Wright, others.
Sarah Palin’s most admirable trait is her confessed Christian belief that her whole being is guided by a higher power: her life, her family, her church and her job as governor of the state of Alaska. Sadly, she was trashed as a result of this belief (Messenger Letter to the Editor, Sept. 25, 2008). For some, apparently God should be left in the church, not needed for our day-to-day struggles. We can look at our schools and see what this think-ing has done to America.
Sarah Palin has also been trashed for her beliefs on abortion, which is simply murder. Those with differing opinions should look at their children and point to the one they would have aborted if the notion hit them.
Governor Palin’s experience, like that of Senator Obama, is limited compared with seasoned senators in Washington, but she is extremely bright, a doer, with a real connec-tion with the main street folks. A real person, “folksy,” down to earth, very much unlike the mannequins we’ve seen.
Sarah Palin does not need to be defended or defined. If she makes it to Washington, she will not only make much needed and important changes, she will be the change. (Rebuttals not required.)

AN INVITATION TO JOIN A BIBLE STUDYA Bible Study Group is being formed by the Cowan Fellowship
Church for its members and anyone else in the community who would like to study the Old Testament book of Isaiah.
Isaiah has sometimes been called the “fifth gospel”because it contains passages which point to the coming of a “Prince of Peace” and a “Suffering Servant.” A study of Isaiah is an appropriate way to prepare for the seasons of
Advent and Christmas.
The study group will meet from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on the five Tuesday evenings from October 21 to November 18, meeting at the Fellowship Church, located on East Cumberland Street in Cowan. The study of Isaiah will be concluded with another
series of five meetings, during the season of Lent.
The study leader will be Sherwood Ebey, who is a Commis-sioned Lay Pastor in the Presbyterian Church and a retired
professor of the University of the South.
If you wish to accept this invitation to participate in this Tuesday evening Bible Study Group, please contact either
Sherwood Ebey (598-5883) or Pastor Ken Ervin at the church (967-7195.)

SUD Water Plant Completion
DelayedThe Board of Commissioners of
the Sewanee Utility District (SUD) of Franklin and Marion Counties met in regular session at 5 p.m. on Sept. 23 in the SUD office building on Sherwood Road.
Construction of SUD’s new water plant, originally projected for comple-tion in December 2008, has experi-enced several delays due to design modifications not anticipated when the project was initially conceived. At this meeting engineer George Garden, representing Barge, Wagoner, Sumner, and Cannon Inc. (BWSC), the firm overseeing construction, told the commissioners that another unexpected complication has further delayed progress, moving the comple-tion date to November 2009.
Garden explained that the six-inch water supply pipe from Lake O’Donnell would not deliver water at the flow rate necessary for the membrane filters to function prop-erly. The supply pipe, believed to be eight inches in diameter, was found to be a smaller size. Garden, who has been investigating increasing the flow rate with a pump, identified a suitable pump manufacturer.
The other options available to SUD are piping the water over the dam or draining Lake O’Donnell and put-ting in a new pipe—solutions which would cost $200,000–$300,000.
The pump to increase the flow rate would increase the project cost only slightly but costs for electricity would grow by approximately $5,000 a year. According to engineers the 54-year-old cast iron pipe will likely withstand a higher flow rate if the rate is increased gradually.
The pump Garden identified could also be used to pull water over the dam should SUD later decide to switch to that option or in the event the existing pipe failed. SUD has two day’s supply of water in elevated storage, providing sufficient time to implement an emergency over-the-dam system.
The board asked Garden to re-search the exact cost of the over-the-dam and replacement-pipe options, the utility costs associated with the different options, and the risk fac-tor SUD faced if it used the existing pipe.
Commissioner Rick Sommer requested that BWSC provide the manager and commissioners with a monthly progress report until the water plant project is complete.
Updating the commissioners on repair of the leak in the Lake Jack-son dam, Beavers reported that the firm contracted for the job, Barton Southern Inc., pumped foam into the dam, but the “fix” was unsuccessful, because the dam contained a rock strata, a circumstance not previ-ously recognized. Beavers consulted with University Professor of Geology Martin Knoll who advised him that rock-strata leaks were not uncom-mon. Beavers will requisition a core sample to determine the exact loca-tion of the leak, the procedure

The newly established animal welfare organization, Animal Alli-ance-South Cumberland (AASC), has made arrangements with a Chat-tanooga group to provide low-cost spaying and neutering for pet dogs and cats in Grundy County and in the Monteagle area of Marion County.
Wally’s Friends in Red Bank has agreed to be part of AASC’s spay/neuter program and will send its van to pick up animals on Oct. 21 between 6:30 and 7 a.m. at the old Grundy County High School lawn in Tracy City. Pets must be brought in hard-sided plastic pet carriers. The pets will be returned to the same location the next day, Oct. 22, for pickup. The AASC will notify owners of the specific return time when they bring their pets for pickup.
A minimum of 25 animals at a time are required to justify the ex-pense of the van. To register for the program, contact the AASC at (931) 592-3732 or (931) 592-1957. Reser-vations may be made no later than 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 17.
Spaying or neutering will cost from $25 to $35 for cats and from $35 to $45 for dogs, depending on the animal’s weight. An additional $10 will be charged for dogs over 50 lbs. The owner must have a rabies vac-cination certificate for each animal or must pay an additional $10 fee for that shot. If the owner wants ad-ditional veterinary services or tests done, the owner must specify those requests at the time reservations are made. As this is a new program, the transportation fee of $5 has been re-duced to $3 per family. Full payment for all services must be made on Oct. 21 at the time of pickup.
The AASC is raising money through donations and other sources to help pet owners who cannot afford the fees. Owners who need payment assistance should ask about lower fees when they make reservations.
The AASC is a young organization looking for help with facilities, fund-

It is appropriate that we celebrate this amazing achievement with such special recognition when a woman completes her courageous journey,” says Susan Binkley, direc-tor.
Tanya Cutright has been working at the Blue Chair in Sewanee and is preparing for a career in insurance. She and her daughter plan to remain in the Monteagle area. “Blue Monarch is a really great program. It’s helped me get my life back together,” says Cutright.

Sewanee Union Theatre This WeekendFriday and Saturday, October 10 and 11, at 7:30 p.m.Admission, $3Sex and the City: The Movie145 minutes • Michael Patrick King • R • 2008
The hit HBO series “Sex and the City” catwalks its way onto the big screen in the feature-film continuation that fans clamored for. Several years have passed since viewers last saw Carrie and company, but when the girls come together, it’s just like old times. Sarah Jessica Parker returns as Carrie Bradshaw, the style-maven journalist whose romantic exploits were the key focus of the show. Also reprising their roles are Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon. Dreamgirls’ Jennifer Hudson co-stars as Carrie’s assistant. “‘Sex and the City’ taps directly back into the TV show’s primal appeal, which is the sweet, sad, saucy delight of sharing these women’s company.” (Entertainment Weekly) “It gives you everything you ever loved about the series, and blows it out into super-size cinematic proportions.” (Premiere) “The best American movie about women so far this year, and probably the best that will be made this year.” (San Francisco Chronicle)

Chris Roberts, South Cumberland Project Manager for the Land Trust of Tennessee, will present the program at 12:30 p.m. Come to learn about what is being done to preserve the plants and wildlife of our area for future generations.
On Thursday, Oct. 16, at 6 p.m., at the Cowan Center for the Arts, Charles and Sally Hubbard will show slides of their May 28 to June 7 trip to Egypt. The Grand Circle trip began in Cairo and went south to near the Su-dan border. During five days in Cairo, the Hubbards visited the Egyptian Museum, the sphinx, pyramids at Giza and Sakkara, a factory for hand-woven rugs, the Alabaster Mosque at the Citadel, a Coptic church, the Khan el-Khalili bazaar and historic homes in the oldest part of the city.
A day trip by train north to Al-exandria allowed them to see Ro-man and Greek ruins near the blue Mediterranean and the fabulous new Alexandria Library, built in honor of the world-famous library established by Alexander in the third century B.C. and destroyed in the time of Caesar and Cleopatra.
The couple flew south to Abu Simbel to see the two temples built by Pharoah Ramses II—incredibly relocated uphill when the waters of Lake Nasser began to rise in 1960.
Hubbards to Present Slide-Illustrated Tour of Ancient Egypt and the Nile
In Aswan they boarded the Anuket, their floating hotel for seven days, enjoyed felucca rides on the wide river Nile and visited the lovely Philae Temple complex, dedicated to Isis, also relocated to the highest point of its island in the lake. They watched papyrus paper being made.
In both ancient and present-day Egypt, civilization stretches within a mile to the east and west of the Nile River. Cruising north from Aswan, they stopped at Kom Ombo where Sobek the crocodile god was worshiped, and at Edfu’s Temple of Horus. From Luxor they visited the Valleys of the Kings and Queens, the tomb of Queen/King Hatshepsut, Karnak and Luxor. An overnight trip to Quena provided an opportunity to see the Greco-Roman Temple of Dendera dedicated to Hathor.
All are invited to the show. The Cowan Center for the Arts is at 301 Montgomery St. (formerly Cowan First Baptist Church). For informa-tion, call the Hubbards at 598-5338.
Bear Hollow Features “Charlie
Brown”Bear Hollow Dinner Theatre and

Based on Charles Schulz’s Charlie Brown comic strips, the musical features all the familiar characters—Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy, Sally, Linus and Schroeder—who take part in an average day in the life of Charlie Brown.
Dinner reservations are required at least 24 hours in advance. Tickets are $15 for the show or $30 for the show and dinner. For reservations and in-formation call (931) 924-2327, or see www.bearhollowtn.com. Bear Hollow Dinner Theatre is located at 11885 US Hwy 41, Monteagle.
Prater’s Mill Country Fair
Discover a hidden treasure of Appalachia’s people at the Prater’s Mill Country Fair near Dalton, Ga., on Saturday, Oct. 11, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 12, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The fair is a festival of juried artists and craftspeople, musicians and southern cooks.
Prater’s Mill is a working gristmill established in 1855. A few of the fair’s offerings are music, dancing, storytelling, canoeing and delicious food. Crafts demonstrations include blacksmithing and hand tufting, which evolved into the tufted carpet industry in Dalton.
Admission is $5, children 12 and under free. Prater’s Mill is located at 500 Prater’s Mill Rd. and Hwy. 2, 30 miles south of Chattanooga. For more information call (706) 694-6455 or see www.pratersmill.org.
SAS Players to Premiere Play
The SAS Players will present an original comedy, “Allison Under-ground,” in the St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School Theater, Oct. 17–19.
Vaguely inspired by “Alice in Wonderland,” “Allison Underground” follows the adventures of a group of American teens who get lost in an underground shopping mall. Direc-tor and playwright John Holleman says, “Finding a play with 21 good roles proved to be more difficult than developing a script of our own. Once I made the decision to create an origi-nal work, the play was planned to be as creative as we could manage.”
Performances are Oct. 17 at 8 p.m., Oct. 18 at 7 p.m. and Oct. 19 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for children under 10. SAS students are admitted free. For reservations, call the SAS box office at (931) 968-0202.

School ScoopEach month throughout the
school year, Franklin County High School will spotlight teachers and staff members who contribute to the success of the school. Teachers spotlighted in October are Marilyn Davidheiser of Sewanee, Kelly Hen-drix and Garold Jennings, and the staff member being spotlighted is Belinda Cagle. FCHS wishes to thank these dedicated individuals for their positive impact on student learning and the school environment.
Marilyn Davidheiser, German teacher: Kind, caring and dedicated are three words often used to describe Davidheiser. She smiles at everyone and spends much of her own time working with students to resolve their personal and academic issues. She is a master teacher, and her students forever remember and respect her.
Kelly Hendrix, business teacher: Hendrix possesses a rare combina-tion of talent and work ethic. As a sponsor of the Student Council and instructor of the leadership class, Hendrix is a fine role model for stu-
FCHS Spotlights Teachers and Staffdents. She is conscientious, organized and nurturing. FCHS students and faculty are fortunate to have her.
Garold Jennings, science teacher: Jennings always sets the bar high for his students. Whether preparing students for the Gateway biology exam or making a citizen’s arrest, Jennings can always be counted on to put students first. He believes that all students can learn, and he loves to prove it.
Belinda Cagle, teacher assistant: Cagle has worn many hats during her long tenure at FCHS. She has served in the attendance office, library and camera room. She has assisted with driver’s education and many other programs as needed. No matter what is requested of her, Cagle is flexible and ready to serve.
Earth Science Week Oct 12–18Governor Phil Bredesen has pro-
claimed Oct. 12–18 as Earth Science Week in Tennessee to recognize the importance of the earth sciences to Tennessee’s safety, health, welfare and economy.
As part of Earth Science Week, the Tennessee Department of Environ-ment and Conservation’s Division of Geology, in partnership with the American Geological Institute, is dis-tributing a limited number of Earth Science Week toolkits to earth science teachers across the state. Sewanee Elementary is participating and will receive 12 toolkits.
“Earth sciences are integral to finding and conserving mineral, en-ergy and water resources important to our state’s continuing prosperity,” said Bredesen. “I’m pleased we are able to help provide educational tools for earth science teachers and aware-ness for all Tennesseans.”
The toolkits include posters, read-ing materials and several CDs with information on earth observations from space, GIS technology and activities, EarthCaching, and our national parks.
FCHS Welcomes Large Crowd to Parent-Teacher

Monteagle Elementary School held its annual Grandparents’ Day on Sept. 26, honoring more than 400 grandparents and some great-grandparents. The students, teachers and administrators honored them with numerous expressions of love and gratitude: a welcoming recep-tion with special music and poems written by students and a slide show and tours of the school featuring students’ art projects. Pictures of grandparents with their grandchil-dren were taken.
Linda and Jerry Mansfield (seated in middle) enjoyed Grandparents’ Day at Monteagle Elementary with their great-grandson Matthew Thomas (front) and grandsons (standing, L–R) Jon Michael and Jacob Mansfield.

MES Grandparents’ Day aHuge Success
Special guests Cam and Sissy Stewart of Monteagle served as the school’s “adopted grandparents” for children whose grandparents could not attend. All grandparents were given a certificate and mementos to remember the day. Classroom projects before the event enhanced students’ understanding of family heritage. The grandparents thanked the school for recognizing them.
“Many had never visited the school; this was an opportunity to include an entire population of caregivers who are involved in our students’ lives,” said Principal Janet Layne.

St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School se-nior Will Womack of Jackson, Miss., recently received a National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) Achieve-ment Award in writing. Recipients were chosen from 1,789 students nominated in their junior year.
The Achievement Awards in Writ-ing are conferred by NCTE in recogni-tion of excellence in writing by high school juniors. Winners demonstrate writing ability in two forms: first, a sample of their best writing in any form or genre drafted and revised over time and, second, an impromptu essay on a subject set by the Achieve-ment Awards Advisory Committee and responded to by other candidates in that year.
“What a greatly deserved honor,” said English teacher Susan Core. “Will is not content with just writing poetry, a difficult enough task, but he challenges himself in the types of poetry he writes, as he undertakes difficult forms, such as the sonnet

Sports Tiger of the Week: Julia Wood
Julia Wood has been named Tiger of the Week for her performance the weekend of Oct. 3–5. Wood is a fresh-man tennis player from Tulsa.
Wood reached the quarter-finals (top eight) of the Wilson/ITA Regional Championships as an unseeded first-year player last weekend and posted a 3-1 record over the weekend.
“I was very pleased with Julia’s mental toughness this weekend. In the round of 16, she was down 5-1 in the third set and was able to come back and win in a tie-break. After this three-hour marathon match, she had to turn around and play the No. 3 seed, who eventually defeated her 6-4,7-6. I knew she was very exhausted, but she fought to the bitter end,” added coach Conchie Shackelford.Others receiving recognition
Lizzie Butler, a freshman soccer player from Carrabelle, Fla., scored two of Sewanee’s three goals in less than 45 minutes of play in the 3-2 Tiger win over Oglethorpe Saturday night.
Hayley Robb of Huntsville, Ala., won her first college cross country race on Saturday, leading the Tigers at the Tiger Twilight Invitational. Winning by over a minute to the second-place runner, Robb finished with a personal best time at 6K with 23:11.19 (fourth fastest time ever on this course).
Men’s cross country captain, senior Rex Davis, finished third and led the Tigers to a team victory at the Tiger Twilight Invitational. His time of 27:44 is a season best and
led the team to a 32 to 42 victory over second-place Covenant College.
Lynn Hancock, a senior from Paris, Ky., was able to convert on two of her nine shots in the 7-1 winning effort on Friday against Transylvania. In total, Lynn had two goals and one assist in the game. She now has 10 goals and two assists for the season.

Tiger Field Hockey Slams Transy
The Sewanee field hockey team jumped out 2-0 on visiting Transylva-nia on Friday afternoon, Oct. 3, to set the tone for a 7-1 slam of the Pioneers. Sewanee led 4-1 at the half.
In the first, Taylor Skeen and Caro-line Carlin scored goals before Transy netted its only goal. Senior captain Lynn Hancock scored Sewanee’s next two goals to lock down the 4-1 tally at the break.
In the second half, Sewanee added some insurance with a goal by Elise Landau and a pair by Liza Ketcham to secure the final 7-1 win.
Clarkie Crawford had nine saves in goal for Sewanee. Sewanee outshot the Pioneers 31-9 on the day and took 11 penalty corners compared to six by Transy.
Sewanee is 6-3 (2-2 SCAC).
Sewanee Football Takes a Hit
Sewanee hosted Centre on the Mountain Saturday for Family Week-end, and the Colonels disappointed a large Sewanee crowd by topping the Tigers 28-16.
In the first quarter, Sewanee got out to an early lead on a 36-yard An-drew Gould (Chatsworth, Ga.) field goal. Centre answered eight minutes later with a touchdown. In the second, Sewanee jumped back ahead of Cen-tre with a four-yard Patrick Shelton (Hickory, N.C.) TD run. Centre would gain a 14-10 lead for halftime in a two-yard touchdown run.
In the second half, Centre kept the Tigers at bay, scoring two more touchdowns that bookended Bruce Bentley’s (Lynchburg, Va.) four-yard touchdown reception from Shelton. As time ran out, Centre held the 28-16 edge.
Shelton completed 18 passes for 172 Tiger yards. Defensively, Cha-lankis Brown (Millbrook, Ala.) led Sewanee with eight total tackles.
Sewanee falls to 2-3 and is 1-2 in the SCAC. Sewanee will play at Austin this weekend.

Shaver, Stewart Pace SAS Runners
The St. Andrew’s-Sewanee girls and boys cross country teams ran in the Chattanooga Cross Country League race at Woodland Park Bap-tist Church on Tuesday, Sept. 30, and the SAS boys took 21st place, paced by SAS senior captain Daniel Shaver (Sewanee). Shaver logged a time of 17:10, a personal best time that secured him third place overall out of 163 runners.
Defending state champ Kee-ley Stewart (Winchester) paced the Mountain Lion girls, running 21:29—good for seventh place over-all out of 118 runners. Carly Westling (Sewanee) improved her last race time by 1:29 for a final mark of 30:49. Senior Hali Gipson (Coalmont) also improved her previous time by 2:37 to finish just behind Westling at 31:39.
Other Mountain Lion boys to fin-ish strong were Felix Huo (Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany), Cory Cho (Gyeonggi-do, Korea), Scott Owsley (Sewanee) and Allen Tubbs (Webb, Miss.).

Pledger Schaefer Leads Lions
In their final regular season match, the St. Andrew’s-Sewanee Mountain Lion golf team lost to rival Webb School, 227-190, in a two-way match on Oct. 2 at the Bear Trace Course at Tim’s Ford. The medalist was Webb’s Garrett King, with a 42, closely fol-lowed by teammate Sutton Jones (44). Pledger Schaefer of Winchester led the Lions with a 56. Three teammates tied for second place on the team with 57s—Stewart Anderson (Sewanee), Swade Mooney (Tracy City) and Danny Hseih (Taiwan).
SAS Volleyball Report
The St. Andrew’s-Sewanee vol-leyball team defeated regional rival Webb School of Bell Buckle Wednes-day night, Oct. 1, 25-11, 25-15 and 25-19.
Asia Szewczyk had a solid game running the offense, recording 23 as-sist. Jodie Brown had 16 kills and four digs; Elle Gilbert recorded nine kills, four blocks and eight digs; Chelsea Tharp had 19 digs; Ann McDonald had two kills and 10 digs; Taylor Ka-vanaugh had two kills and two digs; and Catelyn Hutcherson added four kills and two digs.
The Mountain Lions improved to 11-3, 2-1 on the season.
On Saturday, Sept. 27, the St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School Mountain Lions varsity girls’ soccer team trav-eled to Huntland High School and picked up a 3-0 win. On Tuesday, Sept. 30, they hosted Marshall County and put another in the win column.
In the Huntland game, the first 20 minutes of the match were back- and-forth, with both teams fighting to control the match before the Mountain Lions found their rhythm and took charge. SAS senior Molly Midgett struck first at the 32nd min-ute, scoring a goal off the left flank. Ten minutes into the second half junior Hannah Barry came out of the back to score off a free kick from senior Mercedes Burleyson. Fresh-man Allyson Ridley hammered one home off an assist from sophomore Marianne Sanders, putting the score 3-0. Despite leading, the Mountain Lions continued to press forward
SAS Girls’ Varsity Soccer EarnsBack-to-Back Victories
with senior Sarah Carter just miss-ing the net by inches and freshman Sadie Shakelford hitting the cross bar in the last 10 seconds of the match. SAS dominated play, outshooting the Hornets 9-2.
SAS got a second victory on Tuesday, Sept. 30, over Marshall Co. Midgett again was the first to strike with a goal assisted by Carter, who followed this up with a goal of her own in the second half, the first goal of her career. Three minutes later Ridley played a beautiful drop pass to Burleyson, who struck the back of the net with a shot just outside the 18-yard box. Throughout the match, SAS’s defense did a great job of swinging the ball around the back and changing the point of attack, according to Coach Margot Burns. Junior Zoe Petropoulos and senior Flora Ziliak had one of their best performances of the year; all of SAS’s attacks started on the back line, with the defenders winning the ball and building the attack.

Nature NotesYeatmans Walk with Nature
In spite of the drought, Harry and Jean Yeatman and Joy Dog cel-ebrated Oct. 1 with a walk to Lake Eva, off Jump-Off Road. When they ap-proached the lake, they saw seven yearling White-tailed Deer running up and down, playing and splashing in the water. The deer stopped at intervals to eat Water Shield, which has nearly covered the lake’s surface with oblong leaves. This invasive plant is a relative of the Water Lily.
An abundance of White Turtlehead flow-ers were in bloom (pink version on right). These members of the Snapdragon family are well named because when the sides of a bloom are pressed, the “turtle’s mouth” opens like that of a real turtle.
White Cow Parsnips and White Snakeroots showed their white clusters of blooms. Nod-ding Ladies’ Tresses Orchids (below) were like small flowered spikes near the water. In the woods nearby, Club Mosses (Lycopo-dium digitatum) were giving off spores, as were Foxtail Lycopodium and Slender Club Moss. These are relatives of ferns and are not mosses. Many species of Goldenrods were in bloom. Their pollen does not float in air currents but is harvested by bees. Ragweed pollen is the sneeze maker, Harry tells us.
When the three nature lov-ers returned to their pasture, they observed and listened to two Red-headed Woodpeckers. Many migrating Acadian Fly-catchers were typically perched on dead tree branches; they repeatedly flew out to catch in-sects in the air and returned to
the same limbs. Maryland Golden Asters and Snowy Asters were abundant on the Yeatmans’ property and the Lake Eva dam.
John Muir wrote, “In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.”

Reporting on long-term water supply planning, Commissioner Sommer said the Army Corps of Engineers had contracted with the Tennessee Department of Environ-ment and Conservation to perform a study investigating regional water supply solutions on the Cumberland Plateau.
Commissioner Lyle Brecht pre-sented preliminary recommenda-tions from Raftelis Financial Inc., suggesting a Repair and Replacement Reserve surcharge of $0.52 per 1,000 gallons of water and $0.66 per 1,000 gallons of wastewater. Proceeds
from the surcharge would fund an account set up to provide for future water and wastewater service needs.The board voted to accept Raftelis’ report recommending rates for the Water Resource Charge, Water System Development Charge, and Wastewater System Development Charge defined in SUD policy.
The recommended Water Re-source Charge of $2,615 for new customers anticipates capital costs associated with securing new water supplies. The Water and Wastewater System Development charges an-ticipate capital costs associated with treating, transporting and storing water and wastewater. Raftelis rec-ommended an $878 Water System Development Charge, in addition to the tap fee, and a $1,158 Wastewater System Development Charge. At the October commissioners’ meeting, the board will vote on whether to adopt the recommended rates.
The board also voted to delete the footnote from the Water and Sewer Service to Developments Rule. The footnote defined an Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) as using 384 gallons of water per day. The board deleted the footnote after conclud-ing that the ERU definition, based on average anticipated use, might change as the result of implementing water conservation practices.
Board President Doug Cameron provided an overview of the Wa-tershed Management meeting with University representatives Martin Knoll, Professor of Biology John Evans and Domain Manager Richard Winslow. Cameron stressed that the University shared SUD’s dedication to managing the watershed carefully to preserve water quality and quantity. He recommended SUD budget $2,500 for watershed-related testing, with University students to perform the test procedures. The amount falls within the manager’s discretionary budget guidelines, so a vote was not necessary.
Commissioner Cliff Huffman agreed to serve as election officer for the January election. A commissioner will be selected to fill Franklin County Seat A, currently held by Commis-sioner Lisa Rung who is term-limited. Potential candidates must submit a petition containing the signatures of at least 12 SUD customers residing in Franklin County. Dates for pick-ing up and returning petitions will be announced at the next business meeting, Oct. 28 at 5 p.m. At 9 a.m. on the morning of Oct. 28, the commis-sioners will hold a planning session. Both meetings will be at the SUD of-fice building on Sherwood Road.

Oct. 9, 1940—John Lennon’s Birthday ... Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes,Full of fish-and-finger piesIn the summer, meanwhile, back behind theShelter in the middle of the round-a-boutA pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray,And tho’ she feels as if she’s in a playShe is anyway.
Penny Lane: the barber shaves another customerWe see the banker sitting, waiting for a trend.And then the fireman rushes inFrom the pouring rain,Very strange!
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes,Wet beneath the blue suburban skies.
—From “Alice in Lennonland: Penny Lane”(1967) by John Lennon and Paul McCartney
