Messenger Staff Writer
At the May 28 meeting of the Sewanee Utility District Board of Commissioners, the board re-viewed the 2018 audit and received an update on the completion of the waterline replacement project. Th e board also voted to hire a summer intern.
Th e audit performed by the MG Group showed SUD had $102,000 positive change in its net position.
“That’s better than I antici-pated,” said SUD manager Ben Beavers. SUD drew on its cash reserves for the recently completed waterline replacement project, rath-er than borrowing money. Failure to maintain a positive net position can result in the state comptroller requiring a utility to raise rates or otherwise adjust practices.
For the fi rst time since 2013, SUD did not receive a citation for “inadequate segregation of duties,” an audit fi nding frequently received by small utilities who lack the staff to provide the required degree of financial oversight and lack the resources to hire additional full-time staff . SUD resolved the issue by hiring an accountant to perform a once a month review of fi nancial transactions.
The only audit criticism was “failure to deposit receipts in three days.” SUD received the same fi nd-ing in the 2017 audit and changed practices to correct the circum-stance in May of 2018.

MITCHELL COVE EASEMENT
To the Editor:On May 18, the South Cumberland Regional Land Trust and Jumpoff
Community Land Trust in partnership with the Tennessee Parks and Greenways Foundation held a gathering of 150 people to celebrate the placement of a conservation easement on its property at Mitchell Cove. Th e easement protects the conservation value of 1,000 acres of forested bluff and cove land forever. Many people from this community were instrumental to making that happen, through their time, donations, planning, survey work, and other means. On behalf of SCRLT, I want to thank everyone who played a role in this process and all who attended the event to celebrate this conservation success with us.

Ascension Day and Expectation Sunday at
Christ Church
It is not an exaggeration to say “Christmas is not in the Bible, nor is Easter by name, yet Ascension Day is.” You would think it would be celebrated in every church, and cer-tainly in every church which keeps, or goes by, a liturgical calendar. But the truth is that the day is often ignored. If you are reading this on Friday, May 31, you may have missed it altogether. Christ Church Monteagle had a service at noon and will continue this very short season or “tide” with a celebration of Holy Communion on Sunday morning. Th is particular Sunday came to be called “Expectation Sunday” because the next Sunday is the Feast of Pentecost. Th e promise that a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit was on its way was what Jesus told His disciples. We can, with a little imagination, almost see them being changed from students into teachers, from learners into instruc-tors. Th e Acts of the Apostles is the title we have given to Dr. Luke’s second book. Christ Church wishes you blessings as we all share the joys of summer as well as the traditions

used to avoid jeopardizing future investigations.Likewise, Ferguson declined to comment on whether drugs and/or
alcohol played a role.Emily Catherine Culp and Connor Peach will stand trial in Franklin
County. A court date has been scheduled for July 11 in the Franklin County General Sessions Court.
Twelfth Judicial District Assistant District Attorney Steve Blount said Culp and Peach would be tried as range one standard off enders, individuals with zero to one prior conviction. For individuals in that range, class C felony vandalism carries a prison sentence of three to six years and a fi ne up to $10,000. Th e sentence for class D felony burglary is two to four years and a fi ne up to $5,000.
However, Blount noted, “We have crimes on the books you can’t get probation for. Th is is a probatable crime.”
Blount also pointed out, “Th e University is continuing to assess the actual dollar amount of the damage. Depending on the fi nal assessment, there could be a modifi cation or amendment of the charges.”
As to Culp and Peach’s academic standing at the University, University spokesperson Laurie Saxton said, “Th e University’s internal disciplinary process is still underway. We do not comment while these are ongoing.”
Th e good news is Sewanee Summer Music Festival events scheduled for Guerry Auditorium will go on as planned, according to Saxton. All repairs will be completed before the festival begins.
Guerry (from page 1)
The council tabled a request from the fi re department for three sets of turnout gear, cost $9,036.
“We have people dressed out in gear I wouldn’t want to go in a house in,” said fi re department Captain Matt Underhill.
Taylor will check to see if bud-geted funds are available to cover the expense.
Police Chief Virgil McNeese asked if the Wi-Fi service at the May Justus Memorial Library could be turned off at night. Mc-Neese said non-residents came to the parking lot and used the service at night, often leaving trash.
“It’s a state law if a business is closed and you’re on the property
that’s criminal trespassing,” Mc-Neese pointed out. He said the police had been asking the night visitors to leave, but having the Wi-Fi turned off would make their job easier.
Addressing a question about landscaping at city hall, Vice Mayor Tony Gilliam said city employees at a substantial savings were doing the work “in house.” Hiring out the project would cost $35,000 according to Gilliam. Th e rose-bushes suff ered from blight and were removed, Gilliam explained. Th ey will be replaced with pines, a plant species more suitable for the soil and ambient conditions of the location.

SUD (from page 1)“It will be useful to have a data
base so we can prioritize repairs,” said SUD Board President Charlie Smith.
Th e intern will receive no ben-efi ts and earn hourly compensation slightly above minimum wage.
“It would be good to hire at least one intern a year to get people interested in the business,” Beavers said. “In 10 years we’ll be needing people to replace those who retire.”
Beavers recommended looking for interns among children of em-ployees fi rst and then the customer base. To comply with federal law, any young person employed by SUD would need to be at least 16 years old. SUD has already identi-fi ed a person for the intern position for this year.
The part-time position will continue until the job is completed, probably six weeks. Funds for hir-ing an intern are available from the contract labor budget.
Th e board will hold a special called meeting June 18, 6 p.m., to review the manager’s compensa-tion. Th e board will use salary and compensation survey data from the Tennessee Association of Utility Districts for guidance.

Th e FC School Board BudgetTh e Franklin County School Board met in a special called meeting
on May 28 to approve the 2019-20 budget for the schools.Th e general-purpose school budget for 2019-20 includes a revised
scale for certifi ed employees with step increases based on years of service, and degree advancements. It also includes a 2 percent raise for support employees, a 1.5 percent increase for contracted bus drivers; a .17 percent retirement increase for certifi ed; and a 2 percent retirement decrease for support employees.
Th e school board is requesting new revenue funding from the county to fund 1 percent of the 2 percent raise for support employees and certi-fi ed employees. Th e requested funding from the county commission for new raises is $226,784.
“We are still giving some raises from the school budget,” said Direc-tor of Schools Stanley Bean. “We are asking the county to help pay for half of those raises.”
“What is currently in the budget, we meet from the Basic Education Program for the state mandated raises,” said County Deputy Finance Director Cindy Latham.
“We cannot pay less than what the state says we have to pay the em-ployees,” said Assistant Superintendent Linda Foster.
Th e school board budget, along with all Franklin County depart-ment budgets goes before the Finance Committee on May 30. Th e total budget is then sent to the Franklin County Commission. Bean said all other departments did one budget with a 2.8 percent salary increase for all employees, and then did a budget without a salary increase. Bean recommended sending the school budget to the Finance Committee with the $226,784 request. Th e Finance Committee can approve the budget without this request and leave it to the county commission to decide salary increases, according to Bean.
Th e total requested budget general-purpose revenue for the school budget is $44.67 million. Th e proposed total expenditures are $47.02 million. Th e estimated fund balance draw in the proposed budget is $2.25 million.

IDENTIFYING HEARING LOSS
To help identify hearing loss, try answering the following questions:Do you have trouble following the conversation when two or more people are talking at one time?Do people complain that you turn the volume of the radio or television to high?Do you have trouble hearing in a noisy background?Do you often ask people to repeat themselves?Do people you talk to seem to mumble or not speak clearly?Do you misunderstand what others are saying and respond inappropriately?Do you have trouble understanding women and children?
If you answered yes to three or more of these questions you should have your hearing evaluated.
Having your hearing tested is the second step toward better hearing. The first step is recognizing a hearing problem. If the signs are there: asking people to repeat, turning up the volume on the TV, or frequently misunderstanding what is being said - please call us at 393-2051. Debbie Gamache’s The Hearing Center LLC is located at 705 NW Atlantic St. Suite B, Tullahoma. You can also visit our website at www.thehearingcenterllc.com.

Puppetry Camp at the FC LibraryTake a trip down memory lane
to Sesame Street. How delighted were you when Th e Count made the thunder roll as he exclaimed, “Alla peanut butter sandwiches!”? Children will learn to delight themselves and others with skills taught at the free Puppetry Camp at the Franklin County Library this summer in June. Th e camp is off ered June 17-22 from 9 a. m. to noon, with free lunch at noon.
James Steward, Outreach Co-ordinator at the Chattanooga Children’s Creative Discovery Mu-seum, will partner with Franklin County’s own Al Clark engaging children in creating a puppet show. Children of all ages are welcome to participate. Seating is limited to 20 seats. Register at <www.franklin-countylibrary.org>.
Participants will learn to ani-mate a puppet, formulate a script, and produce a puppet show. Practi-cal knowledge will be exemplifi ed on the Wednesday following the camp, June 26. Camp graduates will perform for the Library Littles at 9:30 a.m. and Preschool Story-time at 10 a.m. at the library. All are welcome!
Puppets provide a perfect me-dium for a child to use his or her imagination to express ideas, emo-tions, and creativity. It is thought that by redirecting the viewer’s attention to the puppet, the child feels less vulnerable to criticism. By using puppets, a whole world of endless possibilities is presented to the animator! As tools puppets are great, but let’s face it—they’re just plain fun!

been having issues with both for about five years. I really did not
know what to do about it and just tried self medicating. The con-
dition dramatically affected my life with constant pain. However,
since seeking treatment at Shull Chiropractic Clinic, PLLC, the pain
is now managed. Dr. Shull saved my life!!!!!” —Angela Prahl

VILLAGEREPORTby Frank X. Gladu
Th e past month has again been a very productive month for the Village Project.
Each of the fi ve priority projects has made progress this past month and are inching closer to being completed by 2022, just 3 years away! Leading the parade has been the New Bookstore. Site work is in progress and the pouring of the slab will happen soon. Once the slab is ready, then actual construction will begin. Sarah Boykin, Th e University’s Director of Planning Design and Construction gave an informative update on the project and it was reported on in the Messenger - page 1 of the May 10th edition. As an aside, when this construction begins then you will see that my commitment to not trimming my beard will have been fulfi lled and I will return to my short neatly kept facial growth. Hooray!!!
Th e next project that has generated some momentum is the mixed-use food market and apartment building on the corner of Lake O’Donnell Road and U.S. Hwy. 41A. BP Construction, our development partner, has costed out the construction and is now working on identifying the costs associated with the preparation of the site. Once the total costs are identifi ed, they will be able to set rental rates and then recruit tenants for the spaces. When 60% of the tenant space has commitments to rent, then they will begin construction.
Th e road project, that includes the narrowing of U.S. Hwy. 41A between Kennerly Road and Kentucky Avenue continues to be in the design phase with the Tennessee Department of Trans-portation. As soon as the design is fi nalized then a construction schedule will be developed.
Both the housing and Village Green projects are awaiting more analysis to determine the appropriate next steps.
Another related project is the creation of about 200 feet of new road on the south side of the Sewanee Market. Th is road will con-nect U.S. Hwy. 41A and Lake O’Donnell and be one of the four borders of the Green. We are in discussions with Franklin County about creating this new road.
I want to take a minute to mention some new businesses in Sewanee that have opened their doors over the past several months. Th ey include Fine Arts at the Mountain located at 91 University Ave., Compassionate Home Care and Medical Staffi ng located at 125 University Ave., and Roots Hair Salon at 12565 Sollace Freeman Hwy. Check them out and off er them a BIG welcome to Sewanee!
Th e next Sewanee Village Update meeting will be at 10 a.m., Tuesday, June 4, at the Blue Chair. Th e featured topic for this meeting will be a discussion on the selection of specifi c items being considered to brighten up the Village funded by the dona-tions generated from the Tiger Tuesday eff ort. We hope to choose some items soon and demonstrate that there is momentum for the project. With any luck we will also be broadcasting the meeting on Facebook Live. Just tune into the Sewanee Village Project on Facebook. But we also would like to have you there if you can make it.

Small Woodland Snakes
While working in the garden recently, I encountered two small and lovely snakes. Th e fi rst was a worm snake, seemingly in the soil itself. Worm snakes usually stay hidden under stones or boards or in the ground itself, preferring moist earth, as in a garden. It is, in fact, about the size and shape of a very large earthworm, brown with a small pointed head, which it poked up at me. As well, it eats earthworms and soft-bodied insects. If held in the hand it will push its head and tail between the fi ngers.
Th e second was a ringneck snake, under a piece of cardboard. Ringneck snakes are a little larger than the worm snake, up to 15 inches, while the worm snake is well under a foot. Th ey are a solid dark plain color above and yellow below, with the distinguishing gold collar around the neck. Th ey too like to stay under stones or rotting wood, but not actually in the soil, as the worm snakes do. I found a second ring snake inside a stacked fl ower pot. Th ey also eat earthworms, along with small salamanders, snakes, lizards, and frogs. Be forewarned that if handled, it thrashes about and secretes an obnoxious fl uid. Th ese two snakes, along with the pinewood snake of a few disjunct areas of the coastal southeast, make up a group known as small woodland snakes, all secretive and with similar food sources.

Pets of the WeekMeet Dominic & Ari
Dominic is a four-year-old pit mix that has lived a life of neglect. Dominic came to us with a neck injury from an embedded chain. He is being treated and continues to heal physically and mentally. Fast for-ward a few weeks after getting Dominic, and he is interacting with all the staff members and learning to trust people again. Potential adopters will be required to have compassion for Dominic’s past and work with him with gentle care and positive reinforcement obedience training. Dominic is heartworm-negative, up-to-date on vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped- all ready to go into his new home where he can be truly loved and cared for.
Ari is a one-year-old torbie cat with the sweetest demeanor and loving face. Ari came to us in very frail condition with a severe upper respira-tory infection and ear mites. It took Ari a couple months to fi ght off the illness, but she is now blooming in a cat community room where she likes to be the center of attention when the right “hooman” comes in! Ari is a small cat with a gentle spirit and striking appearance. Ari would do well in a home with other cats, but does not prefer the company of dogs. Ari is up to date on vaccinations, FEV/FeLV negative, spayed, and microchipped. She is all ready for adoption and longs to be in a home that will value and love her forever.

Community Calendar BARDTOVERSEby Phoebe Bates
Oh, the butterfl ies are fl ying, Now the winter days are dying, And the primroses are trying To be seen.
And the turtle-doves are cooing. And the woods are up and doing. For the violets are blue-ing In the green.
Oh, the honey-bees are gumming On their little wings, and humming Th at the summer, which is coming. Will be fun.
And the cows are almost cooing. And the turtle-doves are mooing, Which is why a Pooh is poohing In the sun.
For the spring is really springing; You can see a skylark singing, And the blue-bells, which are ringing, Can be heard.
And the cuckoo isn’t cooing, But he’s cucking and he’s ooing, And a Pooh is simply poohing Like a bird. –Pooh (A. A. Milne), “Noise”
