Carpenter was the director of the two-day summit in late April that brought together 75 high school and college students—among them Christians, Jews and Muslims—to explore a great- er understanding of their shared Abrahamic faiths. “e Youth Peace Summit provided a forum for dis- covery of the things that bring us together,” said Carpen- ter. “In joining our faiths under this common cause, we empower youth to change the things that keep us apart and a forum to learn what can bring us together.” e aendees’ first activity at the DuBose Conference Center was a casual panel discussion led by college students from Vanderbilt, MTSU and Sewanee. Each discussion leader talked about how their particular faith and beliefs had impacted their lives. “It’s interfaith activities like this that help us understand each other,” said Sufia Yosuf, a Muslim college student aending the summit. Aſterwards, Muslim participants watched their Christian peers conduct Compline, an evening prayer service, while the Christian youth later observed the Islamic worship traditions. “Even among our differences, the weekend was filled with the presence of God,” said Keith McFarland, a high school-aged Christian from Sewanee. e summit continued with small group activities and a question-and- answer session that was a time of honest sharing interjected with laughter. Most of the participants came from urban centers, so a hike along the Perimeter Trail was a special treat. e hike ended at the Memorial Cross, where the Rev. Joe Porter and Imam Mohamad Ahmed concluded with prayers. “It was the perfect ending,” said Carpenter. e Youth Peace Summit served as a culmination of the Sons and Daughters of Abraham Project, a two-year-long program developed by Carpenter. Young people from Fire on the Mountain first met the summit’s Muslim participants in January 2009 at the Islamic Center of Nashville. Last summer, the Sewanee youth joined their Muslim peers and prepared bagged lunches at the mosque, then delivered the food to locals leſt homeless by middle Tennessee’s May floods. e Sons and Daughters of Abraham Project made quite an impression on its participants, including eighth-grade Fire on the Mountain member Emily Masters of Monteagle, who won the regional 4-H public speaking competition with an essay on religious tolerance based on her experiences. In her speech, Masters described the project as an “opportunity to meet with youth groups of different religions to share interesting information about how we worship and to learn exactly what religious tolerance means.” Fol- lowing the success of the recent interfaith youth peace summit in Tennessee, event planners and participants turned their aention toward their next faith exploration in Alabama. “We just returned from Alabama from a successful summer outreach mis- sion.” said Carpenter.

CHILD ADVOCACY TRA ININGTo the Editor:
On June 4, the Manchester Arts Center hosted a two-hour program offered by the Children’s Advocacy Center called “Darkness to Light.” Th is is a program every parent, educator and anyone else interested in the well-being of children should have att ended. Heather Kleinfeld did a fi ne job in pre-senting this informative program.
We, as a nation, need to become more aware of the problem of child abuse and take an active interest in learning how we can help to prevent it. Child abuse occurs in one of every four children. Please don’t take it for granted that it can’t happen to you or those you love. Th rough this program, you can learn to recognize the signs of a predator and the signs that abused children give when they are crying out for someone to come to their aid.
Please learn more about the Chil-dren’s Advocacy Center and its pro-grams; take action and begin today to become an advocate for children.

Calling All Readers and WritersA Lett er fr om the Editor:
Janet Graham and I have been publishing the Sewanee Mountain Messenger for about six months now, and we’ve made a variety of changes since we took over. We want you, the reader, to tell us what you think about the changes—from the new calendar format to the diff erent typeface. We care about what you think. So, please give us your honest feedback. Learning what you like and don’t like is the only way we can know if we’re serving our audience.
We’ve also begun adding columnists to the paper, adding new “voices” to the pages. Many people have expressed an interest in writing their own column for the Messenger. If you’ve always wanted to write for a newspaper, here’s your chance.
Prospective columnists should send an e-mail to <[email protected]> that contains these things: the “pitch”—the one- or two-sentence sum-mary of what your column will be about, a brief description of why you’d make a great columnist for our paper and two sample columns, each no longer than 400 words. Columns and their authors need to have some relationship with our Mountain, need to be relevant to local issues (a column on the history and background of underwater basket weaving won’t make it, nor will a column on geopolitics) and should not duplicate columns that already exist. Read the other terrifi c columnists who write for us and look to them for inspiration. Th ey set a high standard for writing.
Send your information to me no later than Friday, July 1, and we’ll see what happens. Among the many changes taking place in the Messenger is the layout and use of space, and this will determine in part how many new columnists we take on and how oft en we publish them.
And, for those of you who simply want to write on occasion and tell us what you are passionate about, I remind you that the Lett ers to the Editor section is one of the most widely read parts of our paper. We encourage healthy, respectful debate on a wide range of topics in this section.
Th ank you to the many people who make this work possible. We could not produce a free, weekly, community newspaper without the faithful support of our advertisers, the generosity of the Community Chest and printing assistance from the University of the South. Together, we make community in this beauti-ful place we call home.
—Laura Willis

Sewanee Alum is “Jeopardy” ChampionSewanee residents Laurie Saxton and Tommy Hewitt recently traveled to Oc-
racoke Island, N.C., where they met Charles Temple, C’95, the newly crowned teacher tournament champion on the television game show “Jeopardy.”
Temple has taught English for the past eight years at Ocracoke School, one of North Carolina’s smallest public schools that encompasses all grades, kin-dergarten through seniors in high school. Saxton and Hewitt also met Flavia Burton, an ESL teacher originally from Nashville who had two nieces and a nephew att end Sewanee (including Sophia, C’13).
“Temple and Burton are determined to send one of the island’s students to Sewanee,” Saxton said.
Ocracoke School has 151 students, 29 of them in the high school where Temple teaches. Temple’s winning episode aired during the school’s prom. Students wanted to watch their teacher in the fi nals, so they were shutt led by school bus to a local restaurant in time to watch the episode and then loaded back onto the bus to return to the dance.
With his victory, Temple earned $100,000 and secured a spot in the show’s Tournament of Champions later this year.

Haven of Hope Off ers Crisis AidHaven of Hope, an emergenc y
shelter located in Manchester, provides safety education and support to victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking in six middle Tennessee counties, including Franklin County.
Mona Mason, executive director of Haven of Hope, said a misconception about domestic abuse is that leaving the abuser is always the safest option. She said that 73 percent of emergency room visits by abused women occur after separation from the violent partner, and that 75 percent of women who are killed by their partners or husbands are mur-dered at or aft er separation. “Don’t judge a victim’s actions or inactions,” she said. “Reach out. Become aware of what you can do to make a positive, supportive diff erence in the life of a victim.”
Haven of Hope’s crisis hot line is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week at (800) 435-7739 or (931)-680-3011.

Th e Mountain Goat Trail (MGT) is gett ing a big boost from a new neighbor. LAR Development, the team behind Cedar Rock, a new community nestled just below Sewanee, will present the Mountain Goat Trail Alliance with a $10,000 donation at its ground-breaking celebration set from 6 to 8 p.m. for Saturday, June 18, at Cedar Rock.
Cedar Rock is a collection of 100 home sites set across 790 acres of moun-tainside views. Th e property’s home sites are a minimum of fi ve acres; part of the development is adjacent to where part of the MGT will be constructed.
“Th e Mountain Goat Trail is a fantastic example of what a public-private partnership can achieve in a community,” said Luis Ruiz, president of LAR Development. “We aren’t just absentee developers. We have two homes under construction in Cedar Rock for my own family and I am excited to meet our neighbors. Personally, I am an avid cyclist, so the opportunity to be part of the Mountain Goat Trail is terrifi c.”
Th e Mountain Goat Railroad was initially constructed in 1853 as a rail spur from the Nashville and Chatt anooga Railroad. Since then, the Mountain Goat Trail Alliance has been working to convert the now abandoned train line into a hiking and biking corridor through Franklin and Grundy Counties. While the fi rst phase of the trail linking Sewanee to St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School is complete, the donation from Cedar Rock will help in the construction of the next two phases.
“Th is area of Tennessee has been a destination for outdoor enthusiasts for years,” said Janice Th omas, president of the Mountain Goat Trail Alliance. “But, the Mountain Goat Trail repre-sents more than that. It’s our link to enhanced community ties, stronger tourism and economic development. It also refl ects the community’s dedi-cation to a healthy lifestyle.”
In addition to the initial $10,000 donation, LA R Development will also donate an additional $1,000 for each lot sold at Cedar Rock in the name of the lot’s new owner. If all 100 proposed home sites are sold, that amounts to another $110,000 towards the completion of the Mountain Goat Trail. It’s a donation that Ruiz isn’t only proud of, but knows will be put to good use within the community.
“Th e Mountain Goat Trail is a link to this area’s past, yet stands as symbol of this area’s future,” he said. “We hope that showing our commitment to the project will ignite interest from other donors to step up, so people can enjoy the trail for generations to come.”
New Marketing Director Hired at University
Parker Oliver, C’89, has been named executive director of marketing and communications at the University of the South. Oliver has more than 20 years of experience supporting educa-tion, fi nancial services and consumer technology. He has led teams at market-ing agencies to serve clients, including Loyola University (School of Nursing and School of Law), the University of Utah, Microsoft and Iomega.
“Parker will play a central role as we work to advance the name and reputa-tion of this great university, to make Sewanee a less well-kept secret,” said Vice-Chancellor John McCardell. “I am delighted that Parker is returning to his alma mater.”
During the search to hire the new executive director, McCardell said, the offi ce of marketing and communica-tions has done a “splendid job” under the leadership of interim executive director Laurie Saxton.
“Th e offi ce not only continued its regular course of business, but each member of the marketing and com-munications staff worked with great dedication to develop and execute the plan to communicate and publicize Sewanee’s 10 percent fee reduction, leading to unprecedented media cover-age for the University,” he said.
A n English major at Sewanee, Oliver lettered in both football and baseball, and served as sports editor for the Purple. He and his wife, Katie, have two children, Emmie, 17, and Tommy, 13.

Here’s a chance to see an old favorite on the big screen. “Grease” is a clas-sic, the biggest box-offi ce draw of 1978, starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, who were both just starting their careers. It is a 1950s high school love story, a Romeo-and-Juliet romance set in California with bobby socks, drive-ins, drag races Frankie Avalon and leather jackets.Th ere are great performances from Didi Conn, Stockard Channing and Jeff Conaway. But really, “Grease” is all about the dancing and the music, with its iconic BeeGee’s title song, “Hopelessly Devoted to You,” and my favorite, “Beauty School Drop Out.” Rated PG-13 for sexual content including references, teen smoking and drinking, and language. —LW
Note: In June, the SUT will have fi lms Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday evenings at 7:30.

Wade Hall Earns Gold LEED
Certifi cation St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School’s
Wade Hall for the Sciences has been awarded LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) gold cer-tifi cation by the U.S. Green Building Council. Wade Hall, dedicated last fall, was rated LEED gold for the sustain-able components incorporated into the structure’s design and construction.
“I am delighted to have our com-mitment to sustainability confi rmed in this very public and universally ap-proved way,” said the Rev. John Th om-as, head of school. “Th e beautiful 550-acre campus that SAS occupies is one of our greatest assets. Th is building is a gift to that inheritance.” Th e building was constructed for just $2.1 million –on time and within budget. “Wade Hall represents the best possibilities in school construction,” Th omas said. “Th e design was a true collaboration between teachers, administrators and our architects, Franklin Associates of Chattanooga. We have proven that sustainable design does not have to be expensive design.”
The 8,200 square-foot building includes fi ve classroom/laboratories for instruction in physics, chemistry, biology, environmental science and middle school sciences, an outdoor classroom, abundant storage space and common space for students to study and congregate. The science com-mons, made possible in part by a gift from the Edward E. Ford Foundation, houses an electronic dashboard that displays energy and water usage.
Wade Ha l l ’s env i ron menta l ly friendly design and constr uction include:
Solar orientation: Wade Hall is located and oriented to take advantage of the sun as a source of free lighting. Because the long axis of the building is in an east-west direction, daylight easily and carefully enters the class-rooms. Th is provides natural light to
the occupants, and helps to reduce the need for artifi cial lighting during the school day.
Thermal envelope: Advanced framing and insulating techniques, heat refl ective roofi ng and high-per-formance glass minimizes thermal energy transfer through the envelope of the building. Th is helps keep students comfortable without over-utilizing mechanical air conditioning.
Embodied energy: Materials and systems with high recycled content and that are easily recycled and regionally sourced keep the embodied energies of the building low.
High effi ciency HVAC: Natural ventilation and a high effi ciency me-
chanical system combine to handle the heating, ventilating and air condition-ing (HVAC). Th is variable refrigerant volume (VRV) system provides a high level of individual control while using a fraction of the energy of a traditional system. Operable windows both at occupant level and near the ceiling where hot air can be exhausted provide natural ventilation.
Indoor environment quality: Low-to-no volatile organic compound materials and fi nishes in the building reduce off-gassing and maintain a high level of indoor air quality. Visual and physical access to the outdoors is available from most spaces within the building.
CONVENIENCE/RECYCLINGCENTER HOURS
The Convenience Center, for household garbage, trash and recycling, is located on University Avenue by the golf course. Its regular hours are: 1–6 p.m., Monday; 3–6 p.m., Tuesday through Friday; 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday; Closed Sundays and on national holidays. There are recycling bins for metal, newspapers/magazines, plastic, plastic bottles and aluminum cans. GLASS IS RECYCLED HERE!

Eight Division III Southeastern Colleges To Form New
Athletic ConferenceSeven members of the NCA A Division III Southern Collegiate Athletic
Conference (SCAC) announced this week that they are leaving the conference eff ective July 1, 2012, to form a new athletic conference beginning with the 2012-13 season. Th e announcement was made in Atlanta at the 2011 annual meeting of SCAC presidents.
Spanning six states, the new conference will include Birmingham-Southern College in Alabama, Centre College in Kentucky, Hendrix College in Arkansas, Millsaps College in Mississippi, Oglethorpe University in Georgia, and Rhodes College and Sewanee. Joining them to create the new eight-member conference will be Berry College in Rome, Ga.
Th e new conference is being formed to foster athletic competition and co-operation among academically selective, residential liberal arts colleges located in the southeastern region of the United States. Th e geographic focus will result in reduced travel time and costs, while still allowing for a strong conference of like-minded institutions, all of which integrate competitive athletics into the whole of the student’s educational experience.
“Given the success of the SCAC over the last 20 years, the decision to start anew was diffi cult,” said University of the South Vice-Chancellor John Mc-Cardell. “Th is is a positive move for Sewanee and for its scholar-athletes. We are pleased to be joining these other seven small liberal arts institutions in a new conference that will be a good fi t academically and athletically.”
Formed in 1991, the SCAC grew out of the College Athletic Conference, which was formed in 1962 by three of the colleges in the new conference (Centre, Rhodes and Sewanee). Th e new conference will continue in this same tradition of academic and athletic excellence.
Jay Gardiner, who currently serves as athletics director at Oglethorpe, will serve as the new conference’s interim commissioner. Oglethorpe president Lawrence Schall, who currently chairs the SCAC executive committ ee, will serve as convener of the conference’s Presidential Council during the 2011-12 academic year. Brian Chafi n, athletics director at Centre, will serve as convener of the Athletics Director Council in 2011-12
Th e new conference’s fi rst offi cial meeting took place immediately following the conclusion of the 2011 annual SCAC meeting.
Martial Arts AchievementsInstructor Michael Cimino-Hurt is pleased to announce two promotions
at the Mountain Martial Arts Dojo. Dale Hoagland has achieved the rank of 5th Kyu, and Namtso Norbu has achieved the rank of 8th Kyu.

NATURENOTESBy Harry and Jean Yeatman
Th e Brown Th rasher’s SongBrown Th rashers are year-round inhabitants of Sewanee and like
mockingbirds, mimic the calls and songs of other birds, including lost baby chickens. Th eir songs can be distinguished from those of the mock-ingbird by counting the number of times the syllables of the mimicked tunes are repeated. Th e thrasher sings in couplets, while the mocker repeats each syllable at least four or fi ve times. Listen to each bird. Th rash-ers are in many yards in Sewanee. A mocker inhabits the trees by the Sewanee post offi ce and sings high up on a tree or house roof. Th rashers feed on the ground, scratching the dry leaves to get insects, worms and small lizards. Mockers like berries and insects, both fl ying and on trees. Th rashers are incorrectly called Long-tailed Th rasher, which is in a dif-ferent bird family. Look for the spott ed white chest and rusty head, tail and back. Th e nest can be on the ground or in a brush pile, bush or small tree. It is composed of twigs, rootlets and leaves. Th e eggs are quite prett y, thickly speckled with tiny speckles in cinnamon or rufous brown, and three to six in number.

Animal Harbor Joins Program to Save Dogs
Earlier this week, a PetSmart Charities Rescue Waggin’ vehicle arrived at the Franklin County Humane Society Animal Harbor in Belvidere to pick up 21 dogs and puppies for a ride that will save their lives.
Since May, 2010, Animal Harbor has sent homeless dogs and puppies aboard the Rescue Waggin’ vehicle for transport to other animal shelters where there are more adopters seeking dogs. So far, the Humane Society has sent 181 dogs on this lifesaving ride to a new shelter. Dogs are generally adopted within a week of arriving at the new shelter.
“Our mission is to save pets’ lives,” said Pat Th ompson, president of the board of Animal Harbor. “Until we can get everyone to sterilize their pets, the Rescue Waggin’ program will continue to be an important tool to help us save more lives every month.” PetSmart Charities Rescue Waggin’ program operates under professionally developed industry standards for humane transport. As one of 60 shelter partners in the program, Animal Harbor is also eligible for funding to expand spay/neuter services for cats and dogs, as well as receive professional consultation to improve shelter facilities and operations.
Th e Rescue Waggin’ Program provides animal shelters with a viable al-ternative to euthanasia. More than 45,000 dogs and puppies have been saved nationwide since the program began in 2004.
To celebrate Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month, Animal Harbor is off ering a substantial discount on the adoption fee for adult cats for the entire month of June.
For some families, a cat is bett er pet choice than a dog because they are a litt le easier to care for. Cats are very clean, make great companions and are great at keeping mice away.
Animal Harbor has dozens of cats from which to choose. They have a special room where visitors can go in and socialize with the free-roaming cats. Th ey have cats of every color, size and personality. In the intake cages, there are many new cats and plenty of spring kitt ens that will be ready for adoption soon. In the cat community room, there are lots of adult cats and older kitt ens.
Tokkie is a cat who really stands out. She is always snuggled on the boss’s lap or in her chair... she must be really special to have that privilege, so
June is Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat Month
why is she still at the shelter? Perhaps because one of her rear legs had to be amputated three years ago. This doesn’t seem to bother Tokkie—the only restriction she has is that she must stay inside.
Please visit Animal Harbor to fi nd the perfect cat for you. All of Animal Harbor’s cats are already spayed or neutered.
“When you adopt a cat from a shelter, you not only get the pleasure of knowing that you gave one cat a good home, you also open up a space for the shelter to save another life, so you’ve really helped two cats, not just one,” organizers said.

When biking on Sewanee side-walks, cyclists should slow down when passing pedestrians since some may not hear a warning bike bell and know to step to the right. Walkers should walk on the left -hand side of the road, traveling against the traffi c; bicy-clers should travel in the right-hand lane, going with the fl ow of traffi c. During the day, both walkers and bikers should wear clothing of bright, easily seen colors, and, from dusk on, wear light, refl ective clothing. In any case, don’t just assume drivers can see you. Be on the lookout … for your own safety.

... Th ere wasn’t any real change, it was just a heat spell,A rain spell, a funny summer, a weather-man’s joke,In spite of the geraniums three feet highIn the tin-can gardens of Hester and Desbrosses.New York was New York. It couldn’t turn inside out.When they got the news from Woods Hole about the Gulf Stream,Th e Times ran an adequate story.But nobody reads those stories but science cranks....
So, one evening,Talking with an old watchman, beside the fi rstRaw girders of the new Planetopolis building(Ten thousand brine-cooled offi ces, each with shower)He saw a dark line creeping across the rubbleAnd turned a fl ashlight on it. “Say, buddy,” he said,“You bett er look out for those ants. Th ey eat wood, you know,Th ey’ll have your shack down in no time.” Th e watchman spat.“Oh, they’ve quit eating wood,” he said, in a casual voice,“I thought everybody knew that.” —and reaching down,He pried from the insect’s jaws the bright crumb of steel.
—From “Metropolitan Nightmare” by Stephen Vincent Benét (1898–1943)
