Serving Where Called
Six years ago this column be-gan to support the large number of reservists and National Guard members called up for active duty to serve in the war in Iraq. About 120,000 troops remain in Iraq to support and train their military and assist with counterterror-ism.
On Dec. 1, President Barack Obama announced he is send-ing 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan to focus on reversing the Taliban’s momentum. They will join the 68,000 troops cur-rently deployed in this volatile area.
This is a reminder that some-one else is standing guard and facing fire for us. Please keep the following individuals, their families and all those who fi ght for freedom in your prayers:

MEMORIAL DAY VOLUNTEERS THANKEDTo the Editor:
I want to thank those who helped me put out flags in the Monteagle Cemetery on Memorial Day: Marilyn Nixon, Dewayne Dyer, Heather Fultz, my daughter Debbie Parsons and Gary West. It has been an honor to put out the fl ags for 25 years at Sum-merfield, Harrison in Midway and Monteagle and Lappin cemeteries in Monteagle. I was grateful for the help I received at Monteagle. I also want to thank Dee Underhill at the Chamber of Commerce and Marilyn Nixon for announcing it at the city meetings leading up to the ceremony. A special thank you to all the pastors who an-nounced it in their churches. It was a
moving ceremony and we were very grateful for all the people that came out and honored the veterans. The VFW performs a ceremony at the Monteagle Cemetery every year and we were especially proud of all the people that came this year. I hope they remember it next year.

Parking will be allowed on Univer-sity Avenue beyond Duck River until 1 p.m., at which time all vehicles must be removed in preparation for the parade beginning at 2 p.m. There will be signs posted on University Avenue with this information.
Texas Avenue will be closed from University Avenue to Lake Cheston for the fi reworks. Only handicapped per-sons will be allowed to drive to the lake. All cars which drive to Lake Cheston will be required to wait till pedestrians are out before they may leave.
There will be a shuttle bus running from 9 a.m. until after the parade, from the Duck River offi ce, up University Avenue to the Arts & Crafts Fair, to
Fulford Hall and back. Ample parking is available behind Fulford Hall.
Please be sure to express your appreciation to the many volunteers who make Sewanee’s July 4th such a fantastic experience.
May we all have a safe and happy holiday!

insured in the event of any damage to the tanks. Customers who subscribe to the service would have a receiving antenna attached to their homes. This company currently supplies service or has contracted to provide service to Bell Buckle, Pleasant Ridge, Petersburg, Center Grove, all of Moore County and parts of Lincoln County. The cost for business service is $94.95 per month, and residential service ranges from $39.99 to $74.99 per month, depending on the speed selected by the customer with four options available. Monster Broad-band also offers telephone service with nationwide long-distance call-ing for $74.99 per month.
Doug Cameron, president of the SUD board, said the board needed to consult with other utilities leasing water tanks to Monster Broadband before reaching a decision. SUD Man-ager Ben Beavers asked Johnston to supply him with the propagation map showing the prospective broadcast range. Johnston will attend the July board meeting to answer further questions.
In his general manager’s report, Beavers said income is 0.4 percent below the budgeted amount, and expenses are 13 percent below those projected in the budget. Efforts to repair the leak in Lake Jackson dam with grout were unsuccessful. Beavers will solicit bids for repairing the leak with pressure grouting.
Beavers asked the board to render a decision about the Sunset Trust bond, which is approaching the end of its fi ve-year renewal cycle. SUD undertook the $120,000 debt in 2000 to pay for a water service line to the Deepwoods area. The board anticipated that the $4,000 tap fee for Deepwoods’ customers would pay off the bond, but that has not been the case because there have been few new taps in Deepwoods. SUD has been making payments on the bond from its general fund.
Beavers presented the board with three options for dealing with debt from the bond: pay off the $68,000 re-maining, drawing from the $594,000 cash on hand; renew the bond with Regions Bank at an interest rate be-tween 5.2 percent and 6.15 percent; or refi nance the debt at Citizens Tri-County Bank at 4.35 percent interest. The board voted to pay off the debt. The fee for new Deepwoods taps will remain at $4,000 until SUD recovers

Cameron announced that SUD has been served with a Director’s Order by Alan Schwendimann, director of the Division of Water Supply, Tennes-see Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC). The order cites SUD for four non-water-quality-re-lated violations: (1) failure to perform a customer survey to detect new cross connections; (2) failure to require inspection of two backfl ow devices; (3) untimely fi ling of a report; and (4) discrepancy in turbidity readings [though all readings were well within regulation limits]. SUD was fined $6,400, with additional fi nes to follow if SUD does not meet the benchmarks TDEC set to remediate the issues.
“We’ll meet all of them,” Beavers reassured the board. SUD’s attorney, Don Scholes, commented that SUD’s fine was much less than the fines TDEC recently assessed other water utilities.
A SUD customer appealed to the board for an adjustment to an abnor-mally high bill caused by lightning striking and bursting a pipe. The customer said he contacted SUD when he noticed a drop in pressure; however, water had continued to fl ow into his home. The burst line was discovered three days later. The water flowing into the customer’s home came from pooled water that had leaked from the SUD main. Two years ago, the same customer received an adjustment for a high bill resulting from a leak caused by a line broken by a lightning strike.
Normally, the board allows one adjustment per customer every 72 months (six years). Cameron noted that the leaked water was not due to negligence on the customer’s part and that there was nothing the customer could have done to prevent the leak, as is the case with leaks resulting from frozen pipes. After careful consideration, the board voted to allow the customer’s request for an adjustment. SUD policy stipulates that when adjustments are granted, the amount of the bill above normal usage is reduced by half (in this case from $110 to $55).
The next meeting of the SUD Board of Commissioners is scheduled for 5 p.m., Tuesday, July 27, in the SUD offi ce building on Sherwood Road.

6) THE SEWANEE MOUNTAIN MESSENGER Thursday, July 1, 2010
Sewanee Utility District of Franklin and Marion Counties Water Quality Report 2009Is my drinking water safe? Yes, our water meets all of EPA’s health standards. We have conducted numerous tests for over 80 contaminants that may be in drinking water. As you’ll see in the chart below, we detected only 11 of these contaminants. We found all of these contaminants at safe levels.
What is the source of my water?Your water, which is surface water, comes from Lakes O’Donnell and Jackson. Our goal is to protect our water from contaminants and we are working with the State to determine the vulnerability of our water source to potential contamination. The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) has prepared a Source Water Assessment Program (SWAP) Report for the untreated water sources serving this water system. The SWAP Report assesses the susceptibility of untreated water sources to potential contamination. To ensure safe drinking water, all public water systems treat and routinely test their water. Water sources have been rated as reasonably susceptible, moderately susceptible or slightly susceptible based on geologic factors and human activities in the vicinity of the water source. The Sewanee Utility District of Franklin and Marion Counties (SUD) sources rated as slightly susceptible to potential contamination.
An explanation of Tennessee’s Source Water Assessment Program, the Source Water Assessment summaries, susceptibility scorings and the overall TDEC report to EPA can be viewed online at www.state.tn.us/environment/dws/dwassess.shtml, or you may contact the Water System to obtain copies of specifi c assessments.
Why are there contaminants in my water?Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. Community water systems are required to disclose the detection of contaminants; however, bottled water companies are not required to comply with this regulation. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
For more information about your drinking water, please call Water Superintendent James Smartt at 598-5201. Este informe contiene información muy importante. Tradúscalo o hable con alguien que lo entienda bien.
How can I get involved?Our Board of Commissioners meets on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 5:00 PM at the Utility Offi ce. Please feel free to participate in these meetings. The SUD Board is elected and consists of fi ve members. Each member serves a four-year term. Decisions by the Board on customer complaints brought before the Board under the District’s complaint policy may be reviewed by the Utility Management Review Board of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation pursuant to Section 7-82-703 (7) of Tennessee Code Annotated. You can also visit our website, <www.sewaneeutility.org>, for more information.
Is our water system meeting other rules that govern our operations? The State and EPA require us to test and report on our water on a regular basis to ensure its safety. We have met all of these requirements. Results of unregulated contaminant analysis are available upon request. We want you to know that we pay attention to all the rules.
Other InformationThe sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water:· Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.· Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production,
mining, or farming.· Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff and residential uses.· Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations,
urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.· Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation prescribe regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. SUD’s water treatment processes are designed to reduce any such substances to levels well below any health concern. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.
Due to all water containing dissolved contaminants, occasionally your water may exhibit slight discoloration. We strive to maintain the standards to prevent this. We at SUD work around the clock to provide top quality water to every tap. We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life and our children’s future.
Do I need to take special precautions?Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice from their health care providers about not only their drinking water, but food preparation, personal hygiene, and precautions in handling infants and pets. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
Lead in Drinking WaterIf present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The Sewanee Utility District is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by fl ushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
Water System SecurityFollowing the events of September 2001, we realize that our customers are concerned about the security of their drinking water. We urge the public to report any suspicious activities at any utility facilities, including treatment plants, pumping stations, tanks, fi re hydrants, etc., to 598-5611.
Water Quality DataWhat does this chart mean?• MCLG: Maximum Contaminant Level Goal, or the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. • MCL: Maximum Contaminant Level, or the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. To understand
the possible health effects described for many regulated constituents, a person would have to drink 2 liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect.
• MRDL: Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level: the highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for the control of microbial contaminants.• MRDLG: Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal: the level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not refl ect the benefi ts of the use of disinfectants to
control microbial contaminants.• BDL: Below Detection Level: laboratory analysis indicates that the contaminant is not present at a level that can be detected.• AL: Action Level, or the concentration of a contaminant which, when exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.• Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l): explained as a relation to time and money as one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000.• Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter: explained as a relation to time and money as one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000. • NTU: Nephelometric Turbidity Unit: nephelometric turbidity unit is a measure of the clarity of water. Turbidity in excess of 5 NTU is just noticeable to the average person.• TT: Treatment Technique, or a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.
During the most recent round of Lead and Copper testing, 0 out of 20 households sampled contained concentrations exceeding the action level.1 99.8% of our samples were below the turbidity limit.
2 Infants and young children are typically more vulnerable to lead in drinking water than the general population. It is possible that lead levels at your home may be higher than at other homes in the community as a result of materials used in your home’s plumbing. If you are concerned about elevated lead levels in your home’s water, you may wish to have your water tested and fl ush your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using tap water. Additional information is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).3 Nitrate in drinking water at levels above 10 ppm is a health risk for infants of less than six months of age. High nitrate levels in drinking water can cause blue baby syndrome. Nitrate levels may rise quickly for short periods of time because of rainfall or agricultural activity. If you are caring for an infant you should ask advice from your health care provider.4 While your drinking water meets EPA’s standard for trihalomethanes, it does contain low levels. Some people who drink water containing trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidneys, or central nervous system, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer. 5 We have met all treatment technique requirements for Total Organic Carbon removal.

Sewanee’s 2010 Fourth of July cel-ebration, “A Star Spangled 4th,” begins Friday evening, July 2, with a Street Dance from 8 p.m. to midnight, with music provided by Ginger and Live Wire.

At 1 p.m., Sewanee carillonneur John Bordley will present a program of patriotic songs from Shapard Tower adjacent to All Saints’ Chapel, followed at 2 p.m. by the parade up University Avenue.

The Sewanee Utility District is flushing fire hydrants within the district during June and July.
During flushing, the hydrant is opened to allow any sediment and stale water to be removed from the main. Flushing must be performed annually to comply with state law and to ensure the highest quality of water possible. During fl ushing, some dis-coloration may be noticed but is of no health risk. Additionally, there may be a momentary loss of water pressure while the hydrant is open.
SUD has begun flushing at the water tanks before moving out toward outlying areas. Therefore, areas near town will be flushed first and the areas of Sherwood Road, Midway and Jump-Off will be fl ushed in that order.
Flushing will be performed be-tween the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to reduce inconvenience. If you have any questions, please contact the util-ity offi ce at 598-5611.

Anti-nuclear Weapons Start-up Group in Sewanee
A group supporting the worldwide movement to eliminate all nuclear weapons is forming in Sewanee. Members of this new group are ask-ing others in the Sewanee community who are interested in working toward this goal to stop by the CCJP booth on Saturday, July 3, and write their names and e-mail addresses on a sign-up sheet.
An organizational meeting will be held later this summer or early fall to determine what fi rst steps the larger community group will take. One possibility is to form a local group affi liated with Global Zero, an inter-national organization; see <www.globalzero.org>.
A fact sheet about nuclear weap-ons will also be available at the CCJP booth on July 3.
Global Zero’s declaration, which may be signed online, states: “We, the undersigned, believe that to protect our children, our grandchildren and our civilization from the threat of nuclear catastrophe, we must elimi-nate all nuclear weapons globally. We therefore commit to working for a legally binding verifi able agreement, including all nations, to eliminate nuclear weapons by a date certain.”

July 8 “Lunch and Learn” Addresses
Hospice CareThe Academy for Lifelong Learn-
ing at St. Mary’s Sewanee is pleased to announce that Lane Mathis Price, M.D., will be the speaker for the July “Lunch and Learn” program, to be held Thursday, July 8, at noon. Her topic will be “One Solution to the Health Care Mess: Hospice.”
According to Price, hospice “offers an opportunity for patients and their families to determine what type of medical care they want in the event of terminal illness. Hospice is not about dying, but about living life to its full-est. Hospice care looks at quality of life, rather than quantity of life.”
Price is medical director of the Willson Hospice House in Albany, Ga., which serves 11 counties in the southwest region. This facility, which opened in May, is the new home for the Albany Community Hospice. Price is board-certifi ed in radiation oncology and also by the American Board of Hospice and Palliative Medi-cine. She is a fellow of the American College of Radiation Oncology.
She received her medical degree from the Medical College of Georgia, and has a Ph.D. in science education and physical chemistry from the Uni-versity of Georgia. She previously was on the staff of the Decatur Oncology Center and the Hospice of the Valley in Decatur. She has a home in the Monteagle Sunday School Assembly.
The “Lunch and Learn” monthly series provides opportunities for lifelong learning for local residents and visitors in a beautiful bluff set-ting at St. Mary’s Sewanee. This is the series’ fi rst year, which will continue through August. Plans are already underway for the second season, to begin September 2010 and continue through August 2011. Annual dues are $10, and more than 130 people have paid dues for this year’s program season.
A boxed lunch may be purchased for $10. Lunch reservations for the July program are due by Friday, July 2. E-mail <[email protected]> or call Vanessa or Hadley at 598-5342. Reservations are not required to attend the lecture, and participants may bring their own lunches. For information call Anne Davis (924-4465) or Elaine Goleski (924-3227).

The River Gallery in Chattanooga opens the “Sensation” exhibit on July 1 and continues until July 31. There will be a reception with the featured artists on Friday, July 2, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the gallery’s location at 400 E. Second St.
“Sensation” depicts the landscape painting of Tatiana Hill, John Kelley and Kelly Jean Ohl. Hill adds her unique element to landscape painting with her spatial depth and glazing techniques. Drawing inspiration from her everyday surroundings, Hill captures the alluring and calming essence of her environment. Kelley strives to produce joy in his colorful and energetic landscapes. One can almost feel the wind moving across his canvas. Ohl uses texture to draw people to her work. In her decorative and functional ceramic work, she uses a technique called “mark mak-ing” in which she presses common household items into clay to produce lively and interesting patterns and shapes.
The River Gallery is open to the public at no charge Monday–Saturday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m. and Sunday, 1–5 p.m. and by appointment. For information call (423) 265-5033 or visit <www.river-gallery.com>.

Senior Center Closed July 5
The Sewanee Senior Citizens’ Cen-ter, located at 55 Ball Park Rd., will be closed on Monday, July 5, reopening at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, July 6.
At 1 p.m. on Saturday, I will play a concert of patriotic music. Then on Sunday, Sam Hammond, university carillonneur at Duke University, will make his annual appearance and play a concert at 4:45 p.m. as part of the Sewanee Summer Carillon Series. For both performances the new video system should be working, allowing people on the ground to observe the carillonneur playing in the tower.
Tours of the tower will take place, weather permitting, at 11:30 a.m. and 12 p.m. on Saturday and following the Sunday afternoon concert. For the Saturday tours there will be sign-up sheets at the sandwich board sign at the southwest corner of the chapel. Tours are limited to 10 people. Additional times for tours following the parade are possible if there is a demand.
What does one see and learn on the tower tour? On the way up the 124 steps, there are frequent stops to observe the eight large bells, to learn about the history of the tower and to understand the mechanism that allows a depressed key (baton) at the keyboard (clavier) to result in the clapper of a bell striking the bell and producing a sound. At the playing cabin, one can see the upper 48 bells and the clavier itself. A walk around the parapet on the outside of the tower allows visitors to observe the sur-rounding area. There are great views of the Domain, the valley towards Cowan and Winchester (if the sky is not too hazy!), Lost Cove and of course, the campus buildings.
The large eastern white pine next to the tower is being featured this week. As part of an article to appear in the Sewanee Magazine this fall, I had my picture taken with this tree this past Thursday. The tree and its siblings in Manigault Park and at SAS grew from N.C. seeds that were raised in a nursery in Germany and planted about 1910, the year that the chapel was built. In a photograph taken by Edith McCrady in 1958, one can see that the pine tree in question was, at about half of its current age, half of its current height! The view of the tree from the parapet is quite a bit different from the view of the tree at the ground.
Sewanee resident Sherry Cardwell will be displaying her photography at The Artisan Depot, the gallery of the Franklin County Arts Guild, through August 31. A reception for the artist will be held on Friday, July 9, from 5 to 7 p.m.
Caldwell, a native of Franklin County and a 1976 graduate of Franklin County High School, has been a photography buff since she
was a teenager. In 2000, one of her photographs was published in the International Library of Photogra-phy. She is a member of the Franklin County Arts Guild and will be a student at the University of the South this fall.

At the June 28 meeting, the Se-wanee Community Council passed a resolution honoring Vice Chancellor Joel Cunningham, who has presided over more than 100 Community Council meetings. The resolution also expressed gratitude to Cunningham and his wife, Trudy, for their dedi-cation and service to the Sewanee community. Cunningham’s tenure as vice chancellor ends with the summer term. This was the fi nal Community Council meeting with Cunningham presiding. (The Community Council does not meet in July.)
Lyle Lorren addressed the council about noise from trucks equipped with Jacobs brakes, also called Jake brakes. A Jacobs brake is a compres-
sion braking mechanism installed on some diesel engines as a supplemen-tal means of slowing the vehicle. The use of compression release engine brakes causes the vehicle to make a loud chattering or machine-gunlike noise. Lorren lives on Maple Lane, just off Sherwood Road, and is frequently awakened in the middle of the night by Sherwood Mining Company and Franklin Industrial Minerals (FIM) trucks using Jacobs brakes. Loren contacted FIM man-ager Randy Downing about the noise, and, initially, Downing informed him that he could not do anything about the problem since the drivers owned the trucks and were private contractors. However, after Lorren
filed a sheriff ’s report, the trucks stopped using the Jacobs brakes in the middle of the night. According to Lorren, some municipalities ban the use of Jacobs brakes, and he appealed to the council to make Sewanee a “Jake-brake-free zone.”
Cunningham pointed out the Council was an advisory body, not a governing body, and that Sewanee was not a municipality. Cunningham questioned the council’s authority to put in place a rule that would hold up under state traffi c laws. Council rep-resentative John Flynn suggested the council pass a resolution in support of prohibiting compression braking on the Domain. Police Chief Robert White noted that the supplemental braking system was needed for heav-ily loaded trucks on and approaching steep downgrades. The council passed an amended resolution in support of prohibiting compression braking on the Domain except in circumstances where such braking is determined to be essential for public safety. The resolution will be sent to the county mayor and both county commission-ers for the Sewanee area.
Council representative Annie Ar-mour announced that Tinsley Group, the corporation seeking to locate a quarry in the Greenhaw community, had approached the City of Monteagle about annexing the property pro-posed for the quarry site. In 2009, the Franklin County Commission turned down Tinsley’s request to locate a quarry in Greenhaw. Subsequently,

Tinsley approached Winchester, Decherd and Estill Springs about annexing the property, hoping to gain approval for the quarry with the property subject to the authority of a different jurisdiction. All three municipalities decided against an-nexation.
At a recent meeting, the Monteagle Planning Commission turned the annexation proposal down, Armour said, but there was support for an-nexation among some city offi cials, and the annexation proposal would likely be brought before the Mon-teagle City Council. According to Do-main Manager Nate Wilson, Tinsley threatened to sue if the proposal was not brought before the full council for a vote. The city attorney has pro-posed convening a public meeting and letting the citizens determine the annexation question. In the event of annexation, connecting Monteagle to the Greenhaw property would be accomplished by a one-foot-wide strip of land running along Highway 41A for 17 miles. Wilson said the next Monteagle City Council meeting was Tuesday, July 27, beginning with a workshop at 4 p.m.
At the February meeting, the Sewanee Community Council ap-pointed Armour and former Do-main Manager Richard Winslow to monitor Tinsley’s efforts to locate a quarry in Greenhaw, in view of the proposed site’s close proximity to
the Domain (approximately one-and-a-half miles). Wilson has now assumed that responsibility, along with Armour. Wilson is researching the possibility that rezoning the property to industrial for the quarry could increase the likelihood that land bordering the Domain would be rezoned as industrial. Cunningham said that the council could hold a special called meeting during the summer, if necessary, to address the quarry annexation proposal.
Sewanee Leaseholders Associa-tion President Stephen Burnett an-nounced that he was working with two other association members to compile a list of issues detailing lease-holders’ concerns. Burnett said that he wanted to present the list at the August Sewanee Community Council meeting and that he recommended the council establish a committee to critique the issues brought to the council’s attention.
The council set meeting dates for the 2010–11 calendar year. The coun-cil will meet on the fourth Tuesday of each month, with exceptions in the following months as noted: no meeting in July and December; Janu-ary 18 (third Tuesday); May 16 (third Monday); June 13 (second Monday).
The next meeting of the Sewanee Community Council is scheduled for 7 p.m., Monday, August 23, in the Sewanee Senior Citizens’ Center. All community council meetings are open to the public.

Fireworks Safety on the Fourth
The State Fire Marshal’s Office reminds Tennesseans while fi reworks are a traditional part of Fourth of July celebrations, many people are seriously injured each year by their careless use.
If consumer fireworks are legal where you live and you decide to set them off on your own, be sure to fol-low these important safety tips:
• Never allow children to handle or ignite fi reworks.
• Read and follow all warnings and instructions.
• Be sure other people are out of range before lighting fi reworks.
• Only light fi reworks on a smooth, flat surface away from homes, dry leaves and fl ammable materials.
• Never try to relight fi reworks that have not fully functioned.
• Keep a bucket of water and a garden hose nearby in case of a mal-function or fi re.
• Sparklers, like matches and light-ers, are not toys. They cause hundreds of injuries every year. Sparklers can reach temperatures as high as 1,200° F, and they stay hot long after they have burned out. You wouldn’t hand a matchbook or lighter to a child to wave around or play with, so do not give a child a sparkler.
Fireworks can cause serious burns and eye injuries. A 2007 law prevents children under 16 from purchasing fireworks; and those who are age 16 or 17 must present a photo ID to purchase them.

Sewanee’s 14th Annual Butterfl y Census, held on Sunday, June 27, was a tremendous success. Observers identifi ed 32 different species of but-terfl y and 314 individual butterfl ies. Once again, this year’s census shows that Sewanee continues to support a diverse and vibrant butterfl y popula-tion.
The census, led by associate profes-sor of biology David Haskell and local author David B. Coe, encompassed most of the Sewanee area. Counters started the day at Lake Cheston and made stops at several sites, including the horse farm, Memorial Cross, the rails-to-trails bike path, Abbo’s Alley, Green’s View, Lake O’Donnell and the St. Andrew’s-Sewanee campus. In all, the counters logged nearly 20 miles by car and more than seven on foot.
The 32 species seen during the
University Book
Store Hours Summer hours at the University of
the South Book and Supply Store are Monday–Wednesday, 7:30 a.m.–6 p.m.; Thursday and Friday, 7:30 a.m.–7 p.m.; Saturday, 9:30 a.m.–7 p.m.; and Sunday, noon–6 p.m.
Locally Grown
FoodSewanee has two great markets
offering locally grown produce and flowers: the Sewanee Gardeners’ Market, open each Saturday from 8 to 10 a.m. at the corner of Hawkins Lane and US 41A; and the Cumberland Farmer’s Market that takes orders on-line at <sewanee.locallygrown.net> for Tuesday pickup at the Sewanee Community Center.
census was the third highest total in the count’s history, while the 314 individual butterfl ies was the second highest total for any Se-wanee cen-sus. “We’ve seen more species before, and more indi-vidual butter-flies before, but the combination today was fantas-tic. This might have been our best count ever,” said Coe.
Highlights of the day included a Giant Swallowtail, a very large, choco-late brown butterfl y, that is boldly patterned with yellow markings. Counters also observed more than a dozen Red-spotted Purples, colorful members of the Admiral family, and nearly one hundred Silver-spotted Skippers.
Annual Butterfl y Census Results
Most area residents know that Jump-Off Road is a long route with no shoulders. Traffic moves fast. Bicyclists on the road are in danger and in some spots can actually cause danger.
Highway 156 is a state-designated “Bike Route”. A request has been submitted to the Tennessee Depart-ment of Transportation (TDOT) to create a bike lane along Jump-Off Road (Highway 156) that would travel from the Mountain Goat Trail at the St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School intersection to the Franklin/Marion State Forest.
TDOT says there is a lot of com-petition for funds for these projects. The task is to prove great public sup-port for adding a wide shoulder to the road to make it safe for bikes and

on Jump-Off Roadpedestrians to use the road. A petition has been created and is circulating to show the area residents’ support for the creation of a bike lane or a wide shoulder on Highway 156.
Jump-Off coordinators are urg-ing residents to consider signing the petition to show support for making Jump-Off Road safe for bicyclists. Copies of the petition are available at Julia’s on University Ave., Woody’s Bike Shop, the Sewanee Community Center and Sewanee Family Medical Practice. There will some copies in the Cumberland Center for Justice and Peace booth at the Fourth of July celebration in the park.

Sewanee Receives Sustainability
Grant for Energy Management,
Interns A new grant from the Jessie Ball
duPont Fund will provide resources for some of the University of the South’s sustainability efforts, from student-faculty research to commu-nity outreach to managing University energy use.
The grant is expected to fund fi ve student interns for the next three summers, who will collaborate with faculty members on sustainability research projects. The new funding will also provide for energy manage-ment software that will allow more sophisticated analysis of, increased efficiency in, and communication about the University’s use of energy. Grant funds will support community action around sustainability, as well, with increased outreach opportuni-ties for Sewanee’s Environmental Residents.
At the end of the three-year grant period, the University will host a “vir-tual conference,” a webinar for sharing the results and experiences with other colleges and universities.

Nature NotesBlack Bear Sighting in Jump-Off
On June 22, Linda Peters phoned Harry and Jean Yeatman to report that a Black Bear was walking around under the Peters’ deck. Jean and Harry drove over to the house, which is only a few hundred feet from the Yeatmans’ home. Linda reported that it had ambled over to the Wintons’ house next door, but apparently it had gone into Lost Cove. Bears have shown up several times off Jump-Off Road. They wander into Tennessee from northern Alabama. A few years ago a mother bear and two cubs were seen in the fi elds off Sherwood Road. They do not pose a problem here, but apparently knocked down the long metal pole holding a bird feeder in the Yeatmans’ side yard! It was badly bent. Be on the lookout for these animals. They are interesting visitors here and avoid humans.
Roy Millar reports on June 29: “We woke this morning around 5:30 a.m. and found this bear in our yard (pictured below, left), eating the black-oil sunfl ower seeds from our two bird feeders. We live on Ravens Den Road and were really surprised by this sighting of a black bear. I called the Marion County Sheriff ’s Department and they had several reports from various residences and said the bear was looking for companionship. Needless to say my bird feed-ers are totally de-stroyed. The bear stayed about 45 minutes and fi nally wandered on down the mountain to-ward Battle Creek, I believe.”

The Sewanee Herbarium has scheduled the following events this summer. They are free and open to the public.
Nature Journaling Opportunity, beginning at 9 a.m. on Thursdays in June and July, will be led by Mary Priestley. She has been practicing nature journaling for nearly 10 years. Opportunities for conversation about nature journaling will be given, and books on the subject will be available to peruse, but this is not a workshop. Rather, it is an invitation to set aside any or all Thursday mornings in June and July for nature journaling. Meet at the gazebo in Abbo’s Alley. Bring a notebook (preferably small and un-lined), a pen or pencil and something to sit on, if you wish.
Sewanee Herbarium Summer Events A Lake Cheston Stroll on Tuesday,
July 6, at 4 p.m. will be led by Jean and Harry Yeatman. Come take a walk around Lake Cheston with these eminent Sewanee naturalists and see what can be found—wetland and aquatic plants, meadow plants, trees and shrubs and perhaps some bird-watching. Meet at the Lake Cheston pavilion for this easy, one-hour walk. Bring hats and insect repellent, if desired, though the insects usually are not a problem.
For more information on these events contact Mary Priestley at <[email protected].> Directions are available on the Her-barium website, <lal.sewanee.edu/herbarium>, under Calendar of Events.
