INNOCENT MAN EXECUTED. IS THE DEATH PENALTY WORTH THE RISK? To the Editor:
In 2006, U.S. Supreme Court Jus-tice Antonin Scalia stated that in the modern era there has not been “a single case—not one—in which it is clear that a person was executed for a crime he did not commit. If such an event had occurred in recent years, we would not have to hunt for it; the innocent’s name would be shouted from the rooftops.”
That name recently surfaced. Cam-eron Todd Willingham was executed in Texas in 2004 for an arson fi re that killed his children. He was convicted on the testimony of incompetent forensic scientists and a jailhouse informant.
An investigative report by David Grann, published in The New Yorker’s Sept. 7 issue, debunks every aspect of this case, showing that none of the evidence that convicted Willingham was valid. In mid-August 2009, a Texas commission’s expert, noted fi re scientist Craig Beyler, issued a scath-ing report, stating that investigators in this case had no scientifi c basis for claiming arson and ignored evidence that contradicted their theory. Just as the commission was set to hear from Beyler in late September, Texas Gov-ernor Rick Perry abruptly removed three of its members, including the chairman, who said he felt pressure
from the governor’s offi ce because it was unhappy about how the Willing-ham probe was proceeding.
In Tennessee, two men were re-leased from death row after fi ghting their convictions for at least 20 years each, Michael McCormick and Paul House. McCormick was found not guilty in a new trial in Chattanooga in 2007, and all charges against House were dropped in 2009. In both cases DNA evidence demonstrated that they did not commit the crimes for which they had spent years on death row.
Is the death penalty worth the risk of executing innocent people? Would a sentence of life without parole not be a better alternative? What do you say now, Justice Scalia?

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. As the United States withdraws troops from Iraq, they are being redeployed to Afghanistan.

Please keep the follow-ing individuals, their families and all those who fi ght for freedom in your prayers:

Greening of All Saints’ Chapel
Sewanee Utility District (SUD) Manager Ben Beavers addressed the Sewanee Civic Association at the Nov. 2 dinner meeting held in Otey parish hall. Beavers talked about the historical factors that led to the creation of SUD, the evolution of water and wastewater treatment on the Mountain, and the problems confronting SUD today.
From the 1920s to 1970s, the University managed water and waste-water treatment in the Sewanee area. In the early 70s, the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and congressional legislation associated with the Clean Water
SUD Manager Discusses Utility’s Past, Present and FutureAct made federal money available to small communities, funding for which the University did not qualify. SUD was formed in 1974, and the University sold its water utility sys-tems to SUD for $500,000.
Under University management, wastewater treatment was accom-plished via large septic tanks located in creek beds. The septic system on Depots Branch was cited by the local Department of Health for polluting the water supply downstream. SUD received 80 percent funding from the EPA for construction of an innovative land application wastewater treat-ment plant—the fi rst of its kind in
Tennessee and still in operation today. In the SUD Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) system, wastewater is pumped into lagoons where bacteria are decomposed by microbial action, after which the affl uent is sprayed into the woods. The treated affl uent from SUD’s plant is cleaner than 85 percent of the wastewater discharged in the state.
After 30 days in the primary la-goon, the water is pumped into the secondary lagoon for another 15-20 days. Predictions projected that the lagoons would fi ll with sediment in 8-10 years, but the microbial action has proved so effective the sediment level has remained steady at about two inches.
In 2005, however, problems re-sulting from inadequate sprayfi eld management led to the SUD WWTP being cited for violations by the Ten-nessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), along with a $40,000 fine and a moratorium prohibiting SUD from taking on new sewer customers. Beavers gave the example of broken sprayheads that caused excessive runoff as among the problems and said that SUD now spends far more time on sprayfi eld maintenance. Sprayfield timber harvest is among the sprayfi eld man-agement practices adopted by SUD, with the sprayfi elds then reseeded with water-tolerant species that hold the soil in place. SUD earned a $3,800 profi t in the previous harvest and has already broken even on the present harvest, which is 50 percent completed, but has been delayed until spring due to excessive rainfall. This past August, TDEC lifted the SUD sewer customer moratorium.
Ted Trezevant YeatmanTed Trezevant Yeatman, age 57,
of College Park, Md., died on Nov. 1, 2009, in Washington Adventist Hos-pital in Takoma Park, Md.
A historical researcher and author, Yeatman was known for his meticu-lous scholarship and fascination with the Civil War. Author of the critically acclaimed biography, “Frank and Jesse James: The Story Behind the Legend,” Yeatman discovered the documentation proving that the Pinkertons were behind the bombing of Jesse James’ home. He wrote many articles of lasting importance and participated in historical reenact-ments, among them, as a Confederate soldier in the fi lm “Gettysburg.”
Yeatman earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Peabody Col-lege. He was preceded in death by his parents, Trezevant P. Yeatman Jr. and Nancy Lee McDearman of Nashville.
He is survived by his uncle and aunt, Harry C. and Jean A. Yeatman of Sewanee; and fi rst cousins, Ruth Kriz of Fairfax, Va., Devan Cook of Boise, Id., John Whiteside of Columbia, Mo., Martha Whiteside of Sonoma, Calif., Clay Yeatman of Lilburn, Ga., and Jean H. Yeatman of State College, Pa.
A memorial service will be held in 2010 in St. John’s Church in Maury County, Tenn. Memorial contribu-tions may be made in his name to the James Farm, 21216 Jesse James Farm Rd., Kearney, MO 64060.

The appointment, made by the Rev. Bon-nie Anderson, president of the House of Deputies, is for a term ending with the General Convention in 2015.

His supplementary teaching and research at the SofT centers on canon law and ethics with a focus on church and society. Brownridge practiced law and worked in public policy for 10 years before entering the priest-hood. Immediately before coming to Sewanee, he served in the Diocese of
Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness
Month Since its founding in 1980, the

After designating a National Alzheimer’s Disease Week in 1982, President Ron-ald Reagan helped to launch a national campaign against Alzheimer’s disease in 1983, calling members of the Al-zheimer’s Association to the White House for the signing of a proclama-tion declaring November as National Alzheimer’s Disease Month.

The state agency now points to the SUD WWTP as a model for other utilities investigating the adoption of a land application system, with fi ve such plants planned for Tennessee in the near future.
SUD’s present water plant, a sand-filtration system built in 1957, is based on 150-year-old technology. The new water plant currently under construction is a state-of-the-art membrane fi ltration system that can remove all bacteria and most virus-es—a vast improvement over the present plant that struggles to meet drinking water standards by utiliz-ing extensive chemical treatment to kill bacteria and then removing the chemicals prior to distribution. The new plant’s capacity is 850,000 gal-lons per day (gpd), expandable to 1 million gpd by installing additional filters, again a vast improvement over the present system, capable of treating only 550,000 gpd. SUD in-vestigated ultraviolet treatment, and the new plant can be adapted for that technology if water quality standards eventually require a still higher level of treatment.
As a result of the 2007 drought, TDEC, along with the Army Corps of Engineers, has undertaken an inves-tigation of regional water supply al-ternatives on the South Cumberland Plateau. The next public meeting on the issue will be in early December at DuBose Conference Center in Monteagle, Beavers said. He consid-ers it unlikely that SUD will one day pipe water from the Tennessee River, explaining that South Pittsburg has opted not to accept federal stimu-lus money to increase the water it produces from the Tennessee River supply source. Beavers pointed, as well, to the high cost of fl ushing a 16- mile pipeline from South Pittsburg, a practice that would be necessary to maintain water quality.
SUD has joined with Tennessee Technological University to study re-using treated wastewater as a means of meeting future water supply de-mands. The technology exists to fi lter out all microbes and bacteria, Beavers noted. Among the alternatives be-ing considered by SUD are moving the sprayfi elds so they would drain into the water supply lakes, creating artifi cial wetlands, and reusing water for irrigation.
During the drought, SUD came within 60 days of running out of water in its two supply lakes: Jack-
son and O’Donnell. As a result, SUD entered into an agreement with the University allowing for emergency use of University-owned Lake Dim-mick, for which access option SUD pays a fee of $10,000 a year.
In 2008, SUD reduced its base minimum water charge to $8.59, a $6 decrease. Customers are charged $.00648 per 100 gallons up to 8,000 gallons, after which the rate in-creases. Rate management is the most effective means of encouraging water conservation, Beavers stressed. Institutional customers, like the Uni-versity, pay the $.00648 residential customer rate. During the drought, SUD sold water to Monteagle at that rate. Regulations prohibit SUD from giving water away.
Beavers said that in the future the main factor driving SUD’s costs will be the aging infrastructure inherited from the University, with sewer lines 80–90 years old. Putting the problem into perspective, Beavers explained that nearly half of the water treated at the WWTP was groundwater from rain entering the sewer lines en route to the plant.
SUD has 670 water and sewer customers in the vicinity of Sewanee and St. Andrew’s and 730 water-only customers in the Jump-Off, Sherwood and Midway communities. When St. Andrew’s water treatment system failed, they opted to undertake the expense associated with connecting to SUD rather than renovating their system. Water service was extended to
Midway in the 1970s and to Jump-Off in the 1980s.
Asked about risks to SUD’s water supply from agricultural and animal waste runoff, Beavers said SUD’s only watershed threat came from the pos-sibility of unchecked fl uid spills at the airport or on Highway 41A.
Expressing concerns about phar-maceuticals entering the water sup-ply, an audience member suggested a community collection project. Another audience member noted that the Sewanee Senior Citizens’ Center had undertaken such an initiative in the past.
Beavers praised the SUD board of directors and the high level of qualifi -cation of the board members, adding that most utilities were managed by appointed boards, rather than elected boards. The board members are not compensated. Counting Beavers, SUD has only 11 paid employees, two at the water plant, two at the wastewater treatment plant, two in the offi ce, and a four-person fi eld crew, who work where they are needed. “I love my job,” Beavers said in conclusion, “I could talk about water all day.”
The next meeting of the Sewanee Civic Association is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 7. The guest speaker will be Susan Binkley, founder of Blue Monarch women’s shelter and the Blue Chair Market.

Sports Scoreboard Sewanee Fencers Perform Well at
Cumberland OpenThree Sewanee fencers entered the
Cumberland Open at Vanderbilt on Nov. 7 and performed admirably.
Freshman Mary Kathryn Alves entered the E and under foil in her fi rst U.S. Fencing Association meet. After a slow start, she progressed to an impressive 5-1 win over a Knox-ville fencer and then to a 15-9 win over a Vanderbilt fencer. She then lost 15-9 to a strong Vanderbilt fencer and fi nished third in women’s foil.
Freshman Rand Floyd entered the sabre competition in a first-round pool consisting only of rated fencers. He lost to three formidable rivals and then beat Madalyn Macharr of Emory, one of the two highest-rated fencers in the competition. In the fi rst round of direct eliminations, he lost to an Atlanta fencer.
In epee, Skip Aymett, Sewanee’s highest-rated fencer, did not attain his expected performance, fi nishing 13th of 32 fencers. He had a diffi cult 15-14 win over a Memphis opponent, only to lose 15-14 to a Charlotte fencer.
The performances of these three fencers, regulars in the Sewanee Fenc-ing Club, indicate how club sports and training create a competitive level suitable for regional and, perhaps ultimately, national competition. They are coached by Arthur Knoll and Dale Sweeney.
Field Hockey Defeats Hendrix, Loses to RhodesRhodes College scored a goal on a
penalty stroke with 50 seconds to play in the fi rst overtime period to take a 2-1 victory and eliminate Sewanee from the 2009 SCAC Championship Field Hockey Tournament, Nov. 6–7.Sewanee ends the season at 7-12.
A goal by Elise Landau in the second minute of the game staked Se-wanee to an early lead. The goal came on an assist from Clare Ashburn.
Rhodes tied the contest with a goal at the 18:29 mark of the fi rst half. The game ended in regulation, tied at 1-1.
On Friday, Sewanee faced host Hendrix in round one of the tourna-ment and after 67 scoreless minutes, senior Clare Ashburn scored off of a Carly Grimm assist for the 1-0 win.
Hendrix outshot Sewanee 10-6 and also took 10 corners compared to six for the Tigers. In goal, Sewanee’s Emily Detmer had seven saves and the shutout. Alyssa Havens had three saves in goal for Hendrix.
Sewanee swimmer Haley Shep-herd of Evans, Ga., was named Tiger of the Week for her performance the weekend of Nov. 6–8.
“Haley’s performances were ex-traordinary this weekend. She con-sistently won tightly contested races and even with the fatigue of two days of racing, Haley mounted a terrifi c comeback in the 200 backstroke, only to be barely out-touched at the end. She proved to be one of our toughest athletes this weekend, both mentally and physically,” added Sewanee coach Max Obermiller.
Shepherd won four individual events in a row over the two-day Sewanee Invitational before being touched out in her final race on Saturday. She won the 50 backstroke (28.86) and the 100 IM in a new meet record and school record, 1:03.24. The next day, she won the 400 IM in a lifetime best, 4:51.97, the 100 back stroke (1:02.69), and then entered the
Shepherd Named Tiger of the Week
Haley Shepherdwater for the 200 back. Haley’s fatigue showed in the early stages of the 200 back race; she fought back, though, catching the lead swimmer on the last turn. They fought stroke-for-stroke until the fi nal touch, where Shepherd fell short of the win by three-tenths of a second.
Sewanee’s first all-girls youth soccer team continued its season of fi rsts by traveling to Huntsville, Ala., Nov. 7–8, for the Area 5 Youth Soccer Championships. The Sewanee Sting-rays competed in the U-10 division, which comprises 12 of the best teams from the Southern Middle Tennessee and Northern Alabama areas.
On Saturday the Stingrays battled to a 1-1 tie with their fi rst pool op-ponent and beat the second team 6-0. This performance made them the fi rst Sewanee area team to make it to the second day of the Area 5 Tournament.
On Sunday, the Stingrays came back at 11:45 a.m. and won a penalty kick play-in game, 4-2, moving them into the semifinals. At 12:30 p.m., on an unseasonably hot fall day, the Sewanee girls gutted out another 1-1 tie after the 60-minute regulation game; then they played two scoreless 5-minute overtime periods. Again, it came down to penalty kicks, and the Stingrays prevailed 2-0. This win propelled them to the fi nals.
Under the lights on Sunday night,
Local Girls Make History at Area 5 Soccer Tournament
the Sewanee girls played their best game of the season and had a 1-0 lead going into the fi nal minute of the game. The opposing team had a shot trickle into the goal in the last minute of play, and the Stingrays again faced two 5-minute overtimes. They lost on the last penalty kick, 3-2. It was a crushing loss after coming so far, working so hard and playing so well, but the girls brought home silver medals, and they know that theirs is one of the best teams in this area.
Congratulations to the players: Rachel Alvarez, Kate Butler, Sophia Hartman, Lucy Lancaster, Savannah Nelson, Genevieve Rogers and Kyra Wilson of Sewanee; Kallie Hill of Pelham; and Eliza Masters of Mon-teagle. Thank you to the coaches who volunteered their time and talents: Sherrie Bergman, Eric Hartman, Brian Masters and Scott Wilson.
Tiger Swimmers Take 2nd in
Sewanee Meet Sewanee hosted the 9th Sewanee
Invitational swim meet Nov. 6–7, and won half of all of the events contested Friday to enter day two in second place—fi rst among Divi-sion III teams. The Tigers continued their impressive start to the 2009–10 season with a strong finish in the second-day events.
Reflecting on Friday’s events, Coach Max Obermiller said, “This is the most we’ve won at this meet in over fi ve years. As great as the sprints were, the miles (1650 freestyle) were even better. Alix Kloster and Peter Schildknecht anchored a very strong contingent of distance kids and swam amazing times for this early in the season.”
Courtland Day won the 50 breast-stroke in 27.84 and the 100 IM in 56.93 to highlight the men’s swim-ming effort. Cole Larson won the 1-meter diving event. Peter Schild-knecht was second in the mile swim, with a time of 17:40.44.

Nature NotesBrown Creepers Return for Winter
On Nov. 1, while admiring a Witch Hazel tree in the yard full of yellow, spider-like blooms, Harry Yeatman saw a bird moving up the house stones, by little hitches or jumps. A close inspection of the bird showed it to be a Brown Creeper, here for the winter. This bird can be confused with the Carolina Wren, because of its brown body, white belly and white line above its eye, but its slender curved bill and long tail are diagnostic.
A Brown Creeper’s tail is held against the sub-strate and spread out at the end, to act as a prop, as the creeper progresses in a spiral path around a tree trunk. The bird faces upward in its creeping path, until it reaches the upper tree limbs, then it fl ies to the base of another tree to spiral, all the while eating insect eggs, larvae, spiders and adult bugs hiding under the loose tree bark. Here the bill is quite useful.
Round and round it goes, while calling in a faint high-pitched “screep.” Creepers live in northern states and mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina, and build their nests of bark strips, moss, twigs and feathers under the loose bark slabs of a tree trunk. Five to eight white eggs, speckled with brown dots, are laid.
Watch a Brown Creeper spiralling up a tree trunk, visible then invisible on the other side of the tree. It is eating tiny prey.

From Bard to Verseby Scott and Phoebe Bates
November 12: Post-Veterans’ Day
Computations miscarry: the rigid slate Is cracked at last, becomes an empty plate; Again hungry dividing lines appear, The easy two plus two of war makes fear, And fear plus fear again will equal hate.
***
When death was instrumental To strategists in bone Molding expensive metal For cavities of pain, When dragons’ teeth were sown, All gold was governmental.
Then gold was far from home To sleep again and stay; Numbed by time’s novocain We soon forgot to cry To strategists of x-ray Who bled mercurochrome.
Now death once more is crime Against the rows that reap, And time that seems the same Is planting winter wheat; But teeth are murdering sleep While strategists kill time.
—Two poems from 1948 by S.B.
