SINCERELY GRATEFUL
To the Editor:
Our “Rummage Sale for Change”
was a huge success! Through the
hard work of more than 30 volunteers
before, during and after the sale, we
were able to pull off this two-day
wonder. The amazing generosity of
the folks who donated goods for the
sale created a wide variety of merchandise from the practical to the
luxurious and all things in between.
This was truly a team effort and only
through such a collaboration could
we have reached such success. The
sale raised over $4,500 to be used
to increase awareness and visibility of Barack Obama’s campaign for
presidency of the United States in
our tri-county region and nationally.
Many thanks to those who donated
items for the sale and to our enthusiastic customers. A heartfelt thank
you is extended to the volunteers,
who cleaned, scrubbed, publicized,
priced, organized, registered voters
and provided hospitality.
We are lucky to live in such vibrant
communities in our corner of the
Cumberland Plateau

SUSTAINABILITY ISSUE
To the Editor:
I could not agree more with District 4 Annie Armour’s assessment of
Sewanee’s chicken situation. Thank
goodness Sewanee is blessed with
people like this, talented individuals
who can so effortlessly think “outside
the box.” I ask others to embrace the
Sustainability Through Chickens
Program, just as I ask others to
embrace getting a BMW dealership
for Sewanee, for how can Sewanee
achieve self-sustainability without
both chickens and BMWs?

FAMILY PICNIC AND OPEN
HOUSE HOSPITALITY
To the Editor:
The PTO board of Sewanee Elementary School (SES) wants to
thank everyone involved with the
family picnic and open house on
Aug. 26. It was a great opportunity to
see changes in classrooms, talk with
teachers and meet with other parents
and children. Over 200 hot dogs, chili
dogs and veggie dogs were served, as
well as numerous fruit cups and an
untold number of potato chips. The
board would like to thank Principal
Mike Maxon and all our wonderful
teachers at SES for their hospitality, Mark Webb and the University’s
Athletic Department for loaning us
coolers and, especially, Chastity Williams, Lasenia Ladd and Jim Sliger for
all their help. School is off to a great
start this year!

SINCERE THANKS
Friends, foes and countrymen,
I can’t begin to thank you for
your cards, messages and especially
your prayers. I am now at Vanderbilt
Stallworth Hospital’s boot camp
with several hours of rehab every
day. I look forward to returning to
Sewanee soon.

OBAMA’S LIFE DEMONSTRATES
CHRISTIAN VALUES
To the Editor:
The Democratic Convention
showed us two loving families: one
belonging to the United Church of
Christ, one to the Roman Catholic
Church. Barack Obama and Joe
Biden were demonstrating Christian
values, not mouthing political catchphrases.
All indications are that John McCain will continue the hypocritical
policies of Bush. Check this out: McCain voted “no” 19 times when Democrats attempted to raise the minimum
wage; see www.politifact.com.

speech, Obama said,“At this moment,
in this election, we must pledge once
more to march into the future. Let us
keep that promise—that American
promise—and in the words of scripture, hold firmly, without wavering, to
the hope that we confess.” This reference is from Hebrews 10:23: “Let us
hold fast to the confession of our hope
without wavering.” The end of that
verse says, “for he who has promised
is faithful.” That is, Jesus is faithful
to us. Because Obama is a believing
Christian, we can assume he relates
this last part of the verse to himself.
Jesus will be faithful to him, helping
him be faithful to the highest aspirations of our country.
The way Obama has lived his life
shows that he understands how religion can form a person but not invade
government policy. His Christian
values called him early into public
service, and his record is there for
all to see.

difficulties the union encountered
from James’ accession in England in
1603 until the Act of Union, which

comment on the difficulties that still
affect the union.

Wormald is a British historian

Leaseholders’
Association
from page 1 . . .
in 2002 and 2007. Leaseholders who
are not employees or retired employees of the University pay an annual ground rent fee to the University,
which is 6 percent of the appraised
value of the lot, as determined by the
F.C. tax assessor. (Lease Policies and
Procedures, p. 17: “. . . any time there is
a change in a lease, the lease form will
be updated and the lease fee adjusted
based on the then current tax assessor’s appraisal.”)
Haskell said he and fees committee
members are concerned that ground
rent fees have increased to the degree
that non-University employees with
moderate incomes, such as teachers,
carpenters and artisans, who would
like to live on the Domain cannot
afford to live here: “Newcomers who
have average salaries are discouraged
by high rates,” he said. This means that
gradually Sewanee’s population will
become less diverse, composed primarily of University employees and
those who can afford the fees. Haskell
said, “Could the 6 percent rate be
rolled back to help attract more new
people with mid-level incomes?”
CFO Forster said that last year the
average house on the Domain sold
for $207,000, and houses are also
available from $50,000 to $150,000 for
those with middle or lower incomes.
When buyers who are non-University
employees purchase houses on the
Domain, they pay a one-time lease
transfer fee, and their annual ground
rent fee is frozen at 6 percent of the
current appraised value of the land.
Forster said that the land owned and
leased by the University is worth
approximately $22 million, and the
University receives only 2.75 percent
of this value from nonemployees. In
2001, there were 151 nonemployees
leasing homes on the Domain, and
now there are 208.
David Bowman, chair of the housing committee, suggested part of the
lease policy be reviewed—this stipu-
lation: after 30 years each leasehold
expires, and leaseholders who are not
employees of or retirees from the University must pay a revised ground rent
of 6 percent of the current appraised
land value. Members of his committee
are concerned that leaseholders on
fixed incomes might be unable to pay
the much higher ground rent fee.
Stephen Burnett, chair and sole
member of the municipal services
committee, introduced himself as a
retired accountant “from one of the
big eight firms specializing in government accounting.” He said he has been
reviewing the municipal budget and
described it as “complex, a hybrid.”
Burnett has discussed with Forster
the methodology and rationale for
city services and said the average
annual payment for Sewanee city
services by leaseholders is $482. “By
and large, it is pretty good value,” he
said.
Burnett distributed a summary
sheet of his findings, including this
information: The total municipal
services budget for the fiscal year just
ending is $1,239,431; leaseholders
paid 18 percent or $217,158, which
averages $482 for 450 parcels. The
University paid the remaining 82
percent of costs,“based on an analysis
and comparison of market values (for
improved leaseholds) and replacement values for University buildings.”
Forster said that the 18 percent leaseholder/82 percent University division
of the municipal cost burden would
remain the same this year.
Burnett said he will meet with
fire, police, EMS and other community services early in September and
asked that leaseholders with concerns
in these areas e-mail him at <bur
nett4343@bellsouth.net> or leave
written messages at the Sewanee Realty Office, 115 University Ave.
Randy Peterson, chair of the garbage and recycling committee, said
fees for these services are $24 per
month in addition to municipal
services fees. Part of the garbage/
recycling fee pays Joe B. Long for
pickup, and part goes to Marion
County, where he offloads the refuse.
Peterson reported that curbside recycling is not being used regularly by
many; about half of the leaseholders
use this service.
Domain Manager Winslow set
up a large map on an easel showing
the Domain’s four districts so that
leaseholders can make sure they know
in which district they live. The map
will remain at the community center.
Superintendent of Leases Schlichting
brought copies of “Lease Policies and
Procedures” and left them there for
anyone who wants a copy. Leaseholders may also phone Kirkland Leonard
at 598-1626 to ask for a copy to be
mailed or stop by the Lease Office, 110
Carnegie Hall, to pick one up.
The next meeting of the Leaseholders’ Association will be on Tuesday, Sept. 30, at 6:30 p.m. at the Senior
Citizens’ Center.

Yogi Anderson Appointed Head of
Scenic Land School
Veteran school administrator Herbert “Yogi”Anderson has been named
the new head of Scenic Land School in
Chattanooga, effective this month.
Anderson has 36 years of experience in private school education as a
teacher, head coach, camp director,
development officer and alumni
affairs director. He has served as
the senior development officer for
the University of the South since
2004, where his responsibilities have
included cultivating and soliciting
donations for the school’s capital
campaign. The campaign recently
concluded after raising $205 million
dollars, surpassing a $180 million
dollar goal.
Established in 1966, Scenic Land is
a private school serving students preK through eighth grade with learning
differences such as dyslexia and attention deficit disorder. Throughout
its history the school has been committed to helping students eventually
enroll and succeed in mainstream
public or private schools. Earlier this
year the school experienced financial
shortfalls, but vigorous fund-raising
efforts and a special lead gift of $1
million have laid the foundation for
a substantial endowment and greater
financial stability.
Anderson’s career in education
includes serving as the director of
summer programs at Baylor School.
In that role he was responsible for
managing programs for more than
1,200 children ages 4–15 each summer. Prior to that, he was head of
the Alumni Association, head wrestling coach and summer programs
coordinator at the University of the
South. From 1978 to 1986, he taught
English at Notre Dame High School
and served as head wrestling coach.
In addition, Anderson has served on
numerous academic committees at
the secondary and university levels, as
well as several community volunteer
boards.
Anderson received a bachelor’s
degree from Sewanee in 1972. He and
his wife, Joli, live on Signal Mountain
and have two grown children and one
grandchild.

St. Mary’s Sewanee has scheduled
several retreats and workshops in
September.
“Befriending Life: The Practice of
Loving Kindness,” with Rabbi Rami
M. Shapiro, is Sept. 12–14. The question at the heart of his program is
“Will you engage this moment with
kindness or with cruelty, with love
or with fear, with generosity or with
scarcity, with a joyous heart or an
embittered one?” Shapiro is an awardwinning author and poet who teaches
in the religion department at Middle
Tennessee State University. Cost for
the retreat is $190 for residential
participants (limited space) and $100
for commuters.
A one-day workshop, “Poetry as
Sacred Space,” will be Wednesday,
Sept. 17, 9 a.m.–3 p.m., with Sewanee
professor Jennifer Michael. The cost
is $50. Michael is professor of English
specializing in the English Romantic
period. Poets use language to create
a world of their own, and for poets
such as Rumi, Wordsworth, Hopkins
and Hirschfield, this created world
is space in which to encounter the
divine. The retreat will be informed
by Michael’s new book in progress,
“Apprehensions of the Sacred: Poetry
and Contemplation.”
“Prayer in the 21st Century” will
take place Sept. 26–28, led by Phyllis
Tickle, founding editor of the religion
department of Publishers Weekly,
author and lecturer. Prayer is the most
ancient and universal of human religious practices. Participants will look
at how 21st-century technology and
science are beginning to inform and
expand our understanding of prayer
and explore how these insights can
be applied to the creation of a richer,
more devout prayer life. Cost for the
retreat is $220 for residential participants and $130 for commuters.

SUD to Repair 100,000 GPD Leak in Lake Jackson
The Board of Commissioners of
the Sewanee Utility District (SUD)
of Franklin and Marion Counties
met in regular session at 5 p.m. on
Aug. 26 at the SUD office building on
Sherwood Road.
The board approved an authorization request by SUD Manager Ben
Beavers to retain Barton Southern
Inc. to repair the Lake Jackson dam, at
a cost not to exceed $40,000. Because
of the leaking dam, Lake Jackson is
losing 100,000 gallons of water per
day (gpd). SUD’s daily average water
use is 350,000–400,000 gpd. Beavers
expects the repair will be complete by
the end of October.
The board also approved Beavers’
authorization request for early payment of the Water and Sewer Revenue
Funding Bonds. The $145,000 balance
will be paid from a reserve fund set up
as a requirement of the bond issuance
in 2001 to consolidate SUD’s debt.
Early payment will save SUD $5,500
in interest and free up the remainder
of the reserve fund—$50,000—for
other district projects.
SUD Commissioner Lyle Brecht
reported that SUD had received the
safe sustainable yield data from Consolidated Technologies, Inc. (CTI),
the firm SUD hired to perform a raw
water supply study. According to CTI’s
calibrations, the district has a safe
sustainable yield of 500,000–550,000
gpd. The board voted to accept the
CTI study. The study data will be
posted on SUD’s website, <http://
sewaneeutility.org>.
The safe sustainable yield data will
enable the board to proceed with and
finalize a long-range strategic plan.
The board voted to adopt nine new
policies resulting from planning session discussions. A brief description
of the new policies follows.
Annual Rate Adjustment Policy:
Beginning in 2009, SUD will adjust
the rates for water and sewer services
with a percentage change each year
equal to the Annual Southern Consumer Price Index.
Who Pays for Growth Policy: To
encourage responsible growth, SUD
will require new developers to install
water and sewer connectors at the
developers’ expense and to pay for
any improvements to SUD’s system
required as a consequence of new
connections.
Decentralized Wastewater Service
Policy: SUD will encourage developers to install decentralized wastewater treatment facilities, and, upon
completion, SUD will assume ownership, operation and maintenance of
the facilities.
Waterline and Sewer Line Extension Policies: SUD will assist homeowners seeking new water or wastewater service by offering materials
at the district’s cost. If the workload
permits, the service may be installed
by the district at the homeowners’
cost. In the case of benefit to SUD,
the district may pay for all or part of
a water or sewer main extension.
Water Meter Change-Out Policy:
SUD authorizes the manager to
implement a change-out program
for all meters in the system. (Changeout of SUD’s large two-inch meters
is already underway, and Beavers
hopes to have the project completed
by fall 2009. Because most of the large
meters service dorms and University buildings, the meter replacement
must be done during holidays.)
Watershed Protection Policy:
SUD will work cooperatively with
landholders of the watersheds that
provide the public water supply for
SUD to protect public health and to
assure water quality.
Regional Cooperation Policy: SUD
will participate in regional planning
efforts and desires to further those
that are cost-effective and meet the
needs of the people of the Cumberland Plateau.
Creation of an Infrastructure
Repair and Replacement Reserve
Policy: SUD will create a repair and
replacement reserve to provide for
future funding of water and wastewater service needs, to forego debt or
reduce the amount of debt required
for future infrastructure improvements. Surcharge accounts for water
and wastewater will be maintained
separately.
In discussing the reserve policy,
Board President Doug Cameron
expressed concern that the monthly
surcharge added to water and sewer
bills to fund the reserve might pose
a hardship for some customers. SUD
offers Operation Help for customers who need financial assistance
with bill payment; Cameron will
investigate making this service more
effective. Commissioner Brecht will
consult with Raftelis Financial Inc.
on how to structure the surcharge
rate in a manner appropriate to the
district’s size, circumstances and
customer base.
The board also voted to develop
a Water Conservation Policy no later
than its November 2008 business
meeting, with Commissioner Cliff
Huffman to lead the initiative, and to
approve a Green Commitment Policy,
delineating the utility’s intention to
“pursue and encourage environmental best practices.”
In a related area, the board amended its policy defining the conditions
of water and sewer service for developments. The policy stipulates
that the water resource development
fee would be waived for developers
who meet Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design (LEED)
Copia’s Kennels
standards for green construction and
technology. The policy as amended
stipulates that developers who meet
LEED “green” standards will receive
a discount on the fee.
At a working session held that
morning, SUD consultant Elmo
Lunn talked with the board about
why the Tennessee Department of
Environment and Conservation
(TDEC) had not yet lifted the moratorium on SUD’s wastewater treatment
plant (WWTP). SUD has been in
compliance with TDEC regulations
since corrective actions were taken;
however, Lunn explained, two of the
TDEC officials who worked closely
with SUD during the corrective action
process have left the agency. Lunn will
meet with the new officials to ensure
they understand the complexities of
SUD’s system, which functions by a
combination of subsurface soil filtration and vegetative transpiration.
Lunn recommended SUD send TDEC
a copy of the “master file” detailing
all the remedial action taken at the
WWTP.
The board’s next strategic planning meeting is scheduled for Sept.
23 at 9 a.m. The September business
meeting will be held at 5 p.m. the
same day. All SUD commissioners’
meetings are open to the public.

Landon’s “Dinner at Miss Lady’s”
Inspires Blue Chair Chef
Mixed media art card by L.Y. Heath
Sewanee Artist’s
Work Featured,
Reception Friday
The Artisan Depot in Cowan is
featuring the work of Sewanee artist
Linda Overton, who paints under the
name L.Y. Heath, during September.
A reception for the artist will be held
tomorrow, Sept. 5, from 6 to 8 p.m. at
the gallery, 207 E. Cumberland St.
Born in England, Overton started
painting seriously at age 7. She was
influenced by her father, a landscape
painter. At age 14, she won a scholarship to Brighton Art College, where
she worked in a variety of media.
Overton came to the United States,
married and raised two children.
She has lived in Sewanee for the
past two years and is a member of
the Franklin County Arts Guild and
the Association of Visual Artists in
Chattanooga.
The artist describes her current
style as contemporary oriental. Her
work is mixed-media, consisting of
four to five layers of watercolors, inks
and pens. After the death of her friend
Cynthia, Overton created a work she
calls “The Angel of Hope.” Reproductions of this work will be available
at the gallery, with a portion of the
proceeds going to St. Jude Hospital
and the Multiple Sclerosis Society.
For more information, call (931)
308-6631.
The Blue Chair Café in Sewanee is
proud to announce its special dinner
event on Friday, Sept. 19, “Dinner
at Miss Lady’s,” honoring Luann
Landon, local author of a memoir and
cookbook. Recipes from her childhood in her grandmother’s home in
Greensboro, Ga., will be featured in a
number of menu items taken directly
from the book.
Each dish will be prepared as it was
50 years ago, from recipes described
precisely in Luann’s words. A few of
the many menu items are delicacies
such as gallantine of turkey with
chaudfroid sauce, Cousin Catherine’s
chicken vermouth with walnuts and
green grapes, casserole of shrimp and
artichokes with sherry-tomato sauce
and Luann’s favorite recipe for trifle.
“Michael, our manager, got excited about recreating some of the
delicious dishes in Luann’s book and
thought it would be fun to share them
with other folks in this way,” says Susan Binkley, owner of the Blue Chair.
“Luann has been a favorite customer
of ours for years.”
Meet the author beginning at 5:30
p.m. The dinner buffet, at $35 per
person, will be served at 6:30 p.m.
Reservations are recommended by
calling (931) 598-5434. Landon’s
book,“Dinner at Miss Lady’s,” will be

Tiger of the Week:
Lynn Hancock
Sewanee field hockey player Lynn
Hancock has been named Tiger of the
Week for her play the weekend of Aug.
29–31. Hancock is a senior art history
major from Paris, Kentucky.
Sewanee moved to 2–0 so far in

Ohio Wesleyan and Kenyon. Hancock
scored four goals on the weekend,
including both game-winning goals
in the two games. In 2007, she played
in all 16 games, scoring seven goals
and adding an assist.
“Lynn did an excellent job of
finding the goal this weekend,” commented head coach Jen Baldaccini.
“The combination of placing herself
in the right spots and her excellent
stick-work allowed her to break
free from defenders and give herself
enough time to shoot the ball.”
Sewanee’s next competition will
be against Rhodes and Hendrix on
the Mountain in two weeks.

Nature Notes
Woods Reservoir and All Saints’ Chapel Sightings
On Aug. 23, Dale and Jeanie Swant, members of the Highland Rim
chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Society, took Jean and Harry
Yeatman to Woods Reservoir for an adventure in their new cruiser-style
boat. The object of this trip was to enjoy the birds that flock to famous
Little Elder Island.
Double-crested
Cormorants
Great Egret
At the boat-launching ramp, a pair of Killdeer flew up. As the naturalists motored towards the island, Double-crested Cormorants were flying
overhead toward their roosting trees, and Black Terns were seen resting
on buoys when they were not flying overhead. This tern can be all black
or mixed black and white, depending on the season.
Later, Common Terns, white with darker primary wing feathers,
forked tails, small black caps and orange bills, were flying high, as were
the whiter Forster’s Terns. When the small, tree-covered island was
reached, the bird experts were greeted with noises—growls, grunts,
honks, etc. The racket was made by many Double-crested Cormorants,
Cattle Egrets, Great Blue Herons, mature Little Blue Herons and tall
white Great Egrets. Great Egrets are notable for their yellow bills, black
legs and large size.
One Black-Crowned Night Heron was there, and an Osprey was flying
in the sky. Common Crows and perhaps some Fish Crows were scavenging this rookery. Two unidentified ducks arrived—perhaps Wood Ducks,
Blue-winged Teals or
Mallards—but the
birds’ features were
difficult to see. One Yellow Warbler appeared
in the dead trees. On
previous trips, these
observers had seen
two Yellow Warblers
resting on the island. A
flock of Canada Geese
was honking in flight
nearby. The Swants
were wonderful hosts
on this and previous
trips.
Local photographer
Lyn Hutchinson took
the picture at right
of a Red-shouldered
Hawk on the gutter of
All Saints’ Chapel. It is
hoped there is a nest
nearby.

From Bard to Verse
by Scott and Phoebe Bates
. . .The summer—no sweeter was ever;
The sunshiny woods all athrill.
The grayling aleap in the river,
The bighorn asleep on the hill.
The strong life that never knows harness;
The wilds where the caribou call;
The freshness, the freedom, the farness—
O God! how I’m stuck on it all.
The winter! The brightness that blinds you,
The white land locked tight as a drum,
The cold fear that follows and finds you,
The silence that bludgeons you dumb.
The snows that are older than history,
The woods where the weird shadows slant;
The stillness, the moonlight, the mystery,
I’ve bade ’em good-by—but I can’t.
There’s a land where the mountains are nameless,
And the rivers all run God knows where;
There are lives that are erring and aimless,
And deaths that just hang by a hair;
There are hardships that nobody reckons;
There are valleys unpeopled and still;
There’s a land—oh, it beckons and beckons,
And I want to go back—and I will. .....
