On Saturday, June 20, University biology professor David Haskell and local fantasy author David Coe will lead Sewanee’s 13th annual Census of Butterfl ies. The census, sponsored by the North American Butterfl y As-sociation (NABA), will be similar in method and purpose to the Christ-mas bird counts organized by the National Audubon Society. If it rains on June 20, the count will be held on Sunday, June 21.

Anyone interested in participat-ing in the count is welcome. There is a $3 per person administrative fee mandated by NABA. The count will begin at 9 a.m. at the Lake Cheston pavilion and will continue until late afternoon. Participants are invited to remain with the census organizers for as long as they wish. Those wishing to join the count later in the day can do so at the Memorial Cross on Ten-

Join Butterfl y Census Saturdaynessee Avenue at 1 p.m.

Participants will count not only the number of different species they see, but also the number of individual butterflies. The final count will be sent to NABA so that the results can be tabulated with other censuses tak-ing place throughout the continent close to the Fourth of July holiday.

Participants in Sewanee’s count need only a sharp eye, a bit of patience and a willingness to learn. No prior knowledge of butterfl ies is necessary. A pair of binoculars is recommended, although not required. It is suggested that participants wear long pants and sturdy shoes, use insect repellent and bring a snack and something to drink. Those who intend to continue count-ing through the afternoon should also bring lunch.

For more information call David Coe at 598-9775.

The Board of Commissioners of the Sewanee Utility District (SUD) of Franklin and Marion Counties held a special called meeting on June 9 at 9 a.m. to review the bids for construction of the new water plant.

All bids submitted were signifi -cantly higher than the amount pro-jected by Barge, Waggoner, Sumner, & Cannon (BWSC), the engineering fi rm overseeing construction. Eight contractors bid on the project. The lowest bid, $2,161,900, from W&O Construction Company, Inc., ex-ceeded the budgeted projection by $834,300.

BWSC representative George Garden gave four reasons for the higher than anticipated bids. One, the Economic Recovery Act, passed in mid-2008, called for higher wage rates for subcontractors, raising costs for contractors bidding on the SUD project. Two, the bidding on the SUD project was not as com-petitive as BWSC had hoped, since federal stimulus package projects had opened up far more opportu-nities for construction contractors.

SUD Board Questions Engineering Firm on Water Plant Cost Increase,

Projected Cost Up $1.3 MillionThree, BWSC modifi ed the design specifi cations, calling for a more energy- and cost-effi cient pump. Four, BWSC hoped the construction contractor would deal directly with the instrumentation contractor, but the construction contractors bidding the project were not com-fortable with that approach and included the cost of an integrator to facilitate interaction with the instrumentation contractor.

Garden presented SUD with a revised budget, itemizing costs for SUD’s loan for construction of the water plant. In addition to the con-struction cost increase, the revised budget includes a $225,600 increase for membrane fi lters (an amount previously listed as a “local share” expense, so not included in the loan budget); a $60,000 reduction in projected contingency expenses; a $25,000 increase to meet require-ments by Duck River Electric; and a $252,500 increase for design, planning, engineering and project inspection fees charged by BWSC.

Children’s Story Time Wednesday

Thurmond Memorial Library continues its “Weekly Reader” series on Wednesday, June 24, at 10 a.m., on the steps of All Saints’ Chapel. Sarah Zimmerman, a favorite from last year, will be this week’s reader. The Zimmermans are proud grandpar-ents. Sarah is a retired educator and a former director of the Thurmond Library.

Young children, ages 3 to 7, are in-vited to assemble on the steps for this fun, entertaining story time. Different books are selected each week from the excellent children’s literature in the library. If it is raining, story time is canceled.

The revised budget projected the total cost of the water plant at $3.4 million, up nearly $1.3 million from the previous budget which the board had approved in February.

Garden said that in order for the project to proceed, the revised budget would need to be approved by SUD’s lending agency, the Depart-ment of Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF), and that DWSRF could be expected to authorize the increase. According to SUD Manager Ben Beavers, SUD’s fi nancial consultant Raftelis Financial, Inc., is confi dent that DWSRF will authorize the in-crease.

Beavers noted that the revised budget would increase SUD’s debt load by $43,000 annually and make necessary a 10.25 percent rate in-crease ($.44 per 1,000 gallons).

SUD Commissioner Rick Som-mer took issue with the increase in fees charged by BWSC. Sommer pointed out that the construction

SUD Water Plant Cost Jumps $1.3 Million from page 1 . . .

cost had increased by 51 percent, while engineering-related fees had increased by 105 percent.

Sommer stressed that the board had two priorities: to move the project forward and to review the fee increases requested by BWSC. Questioned about SUD’s legal liability if SUD approved the budget, Beavers replied that the board’s approval of the budget did not constitute a con-tract with BWSC.

The board voted to approve the re-vised budget, increasing the DWSRF loan request to $3.4 million.

The board will hold a working ses-sion at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, June 23, for the purpose of meeting with Garden to receive a detailed accounting of BWSC’s requested fee increases. SUD will hold its regular business meeting at 5 p.m. that same day. Both meetings will be held at the SUD offi ce building on Sherwood Road.

—Reported by Leslie Lytle ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL SAS ALUMNI WEEKENDTo the Editor:

It is with great appreciation that I report another successful Alumni Weekend at St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School. More than 300 people re-turned to the Mountain June 5–7 to see old friends and classmates, to make new acquaintances, to celebrate milestone reunions and to meet new Head of School John Thomas. In ad-dition to my alumni volunteers, it is a privilege to work with many fi ne and talented people at SAS, in Sewanee and our surrounding community.

Numerous SAS hands helped to make the weekend triumphant and to thank everyone would require more space than is allotted—I hope you all know how much I treasure you. I do wish to give public thanks to the following: Dan Hatfi eld and Shellie Green of the Sewanee Golf Club; Ker-rie Moser, Tom Watson and the staff of St. Mary’s Sewanee; the University of the South, specifi cally Conference Services and Christy Morgan, the PPS Department, Dan Backlund, and the Sewanee Police Department. I am also appreciative of Carol Doty, Delores Taylor, Samantha Dotson, Leslie Matthews, Nelson Berry and John Benson; current parent Beth Rhoton and the City of Winchester; and alumni David Sharpe from Big River Grill in Chattanooga, Ken Boyd from Sale Creek, Tenn., George Myers, and Bruce Baird.

Thank you, thank you. Here’s look-ing to Alumni Weekend 2010!

KENNERLY FAMILY OFFERS THANKSTo the Editor:

The family of Ruth Caroline Ken-nerly would like to extend our grati-tude for all of the love that’s been shown to us by many in the form of cards, fl owers, gifts and helpful words of encouragement.

Thanks to the Rev. Joe Ballard for requesting favorite scriptures, psalms and hymns, which he passed along to the Rev. Tom Ward, who performed the service. His sermon gives me strength and peace each day. In answer to his question, “wonder what she was thinking?,” I can’t help but think that her memories were bittersweet, as there was so much that she once enjoyed and could no longer do for herself. Now I feel that she’s happy.

I also want to thank Laura Willis, Sandra Davis and all who put to-gether the wonderful reception after the funeral.

I am deeply grateful to the doc-tors and nurses at Emerald-Hodgson Hospital for the care they gave our mom. Ashley, Jessica and Melissa: you’re awesome. Dr. Tenzing, thanks for doing your best to care for her, while being completely honest, com-passionate and caring.

Most of all, I want to give glory to the great “I AM,” who decided to bring his daughter Ruth home to be with him.

Maury Kennerly and brothers Joel and Milton Kennerly ■

CAC UpdateThe Community Action Com-

mittee is actively feeding more than 75 families in the greater Sewanee community this summer. Many have children at home who would normally eat breakfast and lunch at school, so CAC’s food bags are mak-ing a great difference in many lives during these warm months.

Community members are asked to help pack groceries at the CAC offi ce in Otey parish hall on Tuesday, June 30, at 3 p.m.

CAC has an opportunity to work with the Grundy County Food Bank, but a new group of volunteers is needed to make this partnership happen. It would require volunteer drivers to go to the Grundy County Food Bank on Mondays at 1 p.m. and pick up boxes of perishable foods to deliver back to the CAC offi ce.

Glenn VandenBosch has gener-ously offered to share the food bank’s abundant groceries from Walmart in Kimball, but we need drivers to help. If you are interested in learning more about this or participating, please send an e-mail to CAC Director Laura Willis at <[email protected]>.

“On behalf of all the families across the Mountain that we serve with food, fi nancial assistance and counseling, I thank all of you for your grace-fi lled support,” says Willis.

Flag Day speaker Edwin Holcombe and American Legion Commander James Rollins. Photo by Charley Watkins

At the June 14 Flag Day program, hosted by the Sewanee American Le-gion, Edwin Holcombe of Shelbyville personifi ed the fl ag. Here are a few excerpts from his poignant history lesson.

“I am the fl ag of the United States of America. I was conceived in the dreams of liberty and the hopes of freedom. I have been many places and have seen many things: I felt the biting cold at Valley Forge and gave warmth and comfort to General Washington and his tired and hungry Continental Army.

“I led the settlers going West and crossed Death Valley in a covered wagon. I fell to the ground at Custer’s Last Stand, and there were no hands left to pick me up. I stayed with the boys until it was over ‘over there.’ I did not waver on Dec. 7, 1941, when I was attacked at Pearl Harbor. I came through the record-breaking heat and

Christ Church to Observe Father’s Day on Sunday

Bishop William Millsaps will be preaching at Christ Church, Montea-gle, this Sunday and urges everyone to consider what is often spoken of as the most urgent social need in the United States: the absence of fathers in so many homes in this country.

Bishop Millsaps recently wrote, “This subject is a painful one to face, but there is little dispute among psy-chologists and educators that the role that fathers have played in previous generations has been increasingly missing over recent decades. New words and phrases such as ‘Father Hunger’ have come into our lan-guage, and a deeper understanding of such expressions is needed in the 21st century, in the same way that the important role of mothers and fathers in the lives of children came to be understood better in the 20th century.

“Nurturing is not a gender-based gift, but is a basic need for all people, and a calling to both women and men. Many men may have shirked their responsibilities, but a sense of caring can often be restored when social support for the fathering role is clearly understood.”

The Sunday service begins at 10:30 a.m. and lunch is served each Sunday. All are welcome.

The Sewanee Utility District Board of Commissioners will meet on Tuesday, June 23, at 5 p.m. in the SUD offi ce, 150 Sherwood Rd.

The agenda follows: Approval of agenda and May minutes as distrib-uted; general manager’s report and fi nancial report;

New business—Motion to transfer responsibility for demand manage-ment to Ken Smith, discussion and possible motion about transferring abandoned SUD radio repeater;

Visitor comments and meeting announcements conclude the meet-ing. Board meetings are open to the public.

If materi-als are not ready, that meeting will be at 9 a.m. on June 30, and a public announcement will be made so that a vote can be taken at that meeting. [To check whether the morning meeting on June 23 will be held, check the SUD website, www.sewaneeutility.org.]

On June 11, the Franklin County School Board unanimously passed its projected general purpose school budget for the 2009–10 academic year. This extremely lean budget allows teachers and other certifi ed staff members an accrued experience increase, but does not include salary raises for any personnel.

Two presentations were made: the fi rst was a plaque from the board to Broadview Elementary School’s prin-cipal, Sandra Schultz, and librarian, Helen Rose, to thank them for their patience during this year’s construc-tion of the new cafeteria that caused closure of the library. The other presentation was an address from Karl Smith.

Smith, who served as admin-istrator of the Alternative School at the Townsend Center for seven years, has been reassigned to teach seventh- and eighth-grade English at Huntland School. Smith said, “It is a shame every school system in the state must have an alternative school to keep some students away from mainstream classrooms. This past year Franklin County’s Alterna-tive School served 173 students, from honor students to special needs stu-dents to those in between, who were sent there because of bad choices made by the students, their parents or regular school staff.”

He praised the students’ behavior: “Arguments, fi ghts and bad behavior

F.C. School Board Passes 2009–10 Budget, Is Chided by Smith

did not occur.” He attributed this to the Alternative School’s strict dress code (khaki pants and white shirts) and a “no cell phones allowed” policy. Smith recommended that the board institute these policies throughout the district to bring about improvements in students’ grades and behavior.

Smith also said that during many weeks in the winter of 2008–09, the Alternative School’s heating system functioned off and on, despite his frequent requests for repairs. As-sistant Superintendent Linda Foster “came to our rescue,” and the school “fi nally received a new heating and cooling unit,” he said.

The school’s physical plant has many needs, including new carpets or flooring to replace carpets that “are so dirty they cannot be cleaned.” Smith reported, “Bats and birds are common in the building,” but “not one school board member visited the Alternative School this year. Our students were shown indifference, and I say to you as a board, ‘Shame on you.’”

During various board members’ election campaigns, Smith said, in-dividuals repeated the words: “‘I’m for the kids,’” yet “these students are ‘the kids,’ too. These kids deserve the consideration that is shown to the mainstream student population,” Smith concluded.

“We continue to see growth in laboratory, imaging and physical therapy,” said EHH Administrator Ralph Underwood, accounting for the steady increase in utilization of EHH’s outpatient facilities. Outpatient visits rose by 10 percent.

—Reported by Leslie Lytle

A group of volunteers, under the leadership of Jerrie Lewellyn and Margie Burnett, met in January at Mountain Outfi tters in Monteagle to organize Feed Our Rural Communi-ties (FORC). They were determined to fi gure out how to distribute prepared food to people in need. Members set a goal of fi nding sources of food con-tributions and arranging for pickup and delivery to local groups that provide food for the growing number of families in Franklin, Grundy and Marion counties who are fi nding it diffi cult to provide nutritious meals for their families.

Volunteers agreed to contact local restaurants, bakeries, institutional dining rooms and similar food pro-viders to ask them to contribute leftovers or specially prepared dishes on a regular basis. The specifi c foods and times of pickup would be deter-mined by the donor together with the charitable organization.

A FORC pilot program has been set in motion, and Christi Teasley, FORC’s treasurer, has given the group a web presence and logo. The following organizations are provid-ing food: The Bread Peddler, Mon-teagle; Eregion Farm, Monteagle; San Miguel’s Coffee Shop, Winchester; St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School, Sewanee; and the Cumberland Farmers’ Mar-ket.

Other businesses who have com-mitted to the program are Shenani-gans Restaurant, Sewanee; The Blue Chair Bakery and Café, Sewanee; The Smokehouse Restaurant, Monteagle; and Smokin’ B’s BBQ, Monteagle.

Current recipients of food are the Grundy County Food Bank, Tracy City; St. Therese’s Outreach Ministries (S.T.O.R.M.), Winchester; Mountain of Praise, Monteagle; and the Sewanee Senior Citizens’ Center.

Donors are provided with con-tainers as needed and will soon be presented with FORC decals to dis-play in their businesses. In addition to other publicity, the FORC webpage, http://forctn.blogspot.com/, will credit donors and provide links to their businesses, and they may use the FORC logo for promotion on their menus, websites and publicity. FORC is now ready to accept new contributing business and charitable

recipients. In-terested par-ties may e-mail Lenda Sherrill a t < forc t n @gmail.com>.

Feed Our Rural Communities

Accepting New Contributors and

Recipients Last Thursday, June 11, the Frank-lin County School Board passed its budget for the 2009–10 school year. Revenues are projected to be $40.7 million, and expenditures are bud-geted to be $41.4 million, resulting in a decline in reserves of $700,000. The bottom line is that the school system has cut all that can be cut out of its budget without affecting programs and services, and the resulting short-fall is due to inadequate revenue.

Last October, when the magnitude of our economic recession became known, the interim director and her supervisors slashed nonessential spending, saving $1.3 million in the budget. Local tax and investment revenue for the school system, how-ever, was $400,000 below projections. State and local funding has been fl at. Consequently, the school system drew down reserves approximately $1 mil-lion last year, but this was far less than was projected.

Our new director, Rebecca Shar-ber, made additional spending cuts of $900,000 this spring through the elimination of nonessential positions and cuts in various other expenses. The result is a budgeted spending level that is $350,000 less than last year. However, health insurance pre-miums increased close to $250,000. Budgeted fuel and utility expenses in-creased almost $300,000. The system now pays an additional $150,000 on construction bonds. Cuts were made

The result is that Franklin County is providing an education to its students that is a little above the minimum mandated by the state of Tennessee. It is a basic, no-frills edu-cation. Tennessee lags behind most of the rest of the nation, so this is a very basic education, indeed.

The federal government is provid-ing additional funding to our schools this year through its economic stimu-lus programs. However, this money is targeted toward special education and economically disadvantaged students. Sewanee Elementary School will receive additional classroom equipment as part of inclusion pro-grams for special education students. However, SES is one of two schools in the county that does not qualify as economically disadvantaged, so those stimulus funds will not help SES directly.

The Franklin County School Sys-tem will survive 2009–10 fi nancially. However, beyond that the outlook is bleak. Our teachers and staff did

Workshop to Teach Serenity Mind

TherapyA workshop teaching basic Sereni-

ty Mind Therapy will be offered at the Sewanee Community Center, 39 Ball Park Rd., on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 7–8, from 7 to 9 p.m. Join work-shop presenters Heidemarie Huber, CHt, and Stephen Feely for four hours of fun, engaging interactive learning for a special introductory price of $35. Bring a friend and pay $30 each. To preregister call 967-9745 or e-mail [email protected].

The Serenity Mind Therapy Work-shop presenters have combined their talents in hypnotherapy and shamanic energy healing to create this spiritual therapeutic process to lift the emotional burdens carried in our subconscious and respond to the challenges of life with greater ease, freedom and creativity. Serenity Mind Therapy has transformed the Huber-Feelys’ lives in deep and last-ing ways. Individuals can easily learn how to incorporate this process into their daily lives.

Serenity Mind Therapy distills the best of what the Huber-Feelys have learned from teachers of diverse spiritual traditions into one clear, step-by-step process. This process of emotional liberation has derived in-spiration from such teachers as con-templative Christian Father Thomas Keating; Vietnamese Zen Buddhist Thich Nhat Hanh; Course in Miracles teacher Marianne Williamson; and new-age authors Louise Hay, Deepak Chopra and others. The presenters have also studied some of the latest research in quantum physics by Fred Alan Wolfe and Greg Braden, as well as scientific discoveries in mind-body holistic healing from medical doctors Bruce Lipton, Christianne Northrup and Joan Borysenko. Say “yes” to success without the stress, and attend this workshop.

By John Bordley, Sewanee CarillonneurHow many XXXs does it take to YYY?

No, the question is not, “How many carillonneurs does it take to screw in a light bulb?” Rather, the question is, “How many carillon concerts does it take to make a series?”

Some background: For many years the norm was to have carillon concerts in Sewanee on Sunday afternoons. When I fi rst started playing the carillon, I decided to re-establish the tradition. However, virtually no one came, and I decided that it would be better to play on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:15–12:30 p.m. when school was in session. At least people would be walking around on the campus at that time!

Then I decided that the six Sunday afternoons following the SSMF orchestra concerts would also be a good time to have carillon concerts. Some people would hear the carillon as they left Guerry Auditorium, and some might stay to listen. The problem was, and is, when should the car-illonneur start playing? Some SSMF concerts end at 4:30, but some last until 4:45 p.m. or later. So rather than trying to mesh with the end of the concert, a time has been set, either 4:45 or 5 p.m.

The carillonneurs each year at these Sunday afternoon concerts have included Sam Hammond from Duke University and Richard Shadinger from Belmont University and me. There have also been several people who played one concert.

Back to the question: Each year the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America posts on its website and publishes in its publication, Carillon News, a list of the carillon series performed at different locations. Last year I asked the person in charge whether what we were doing at Sewanee counted as a “series.” He replied, “You have a series!” So for 2008 and 2009 the Sewanee Summer Carillon Series has existed.

This summer’s series, for the fi rst time, will include different caril-lonneurs for each of the six concerts. More details will appear in the next couple weeks about the 2009 series, but here is the schedule: June 21, John Bordley; June 28, Richard Shadinger; July 5, J. Sam Hammond; July 12, Peggy McClure from Memphis; July 19, Sara and Ana Elias from Portugal; and July 26, Anton Fleissner from Chattanooga.

Storytelling Series: The Declaration of

IndependenceSteve Pearson of the Franklin

County Historical Society will present a program on the Declaration of Inde-pendence at the Cowan Center for the Arts on Sunday, June 28, at 5 p.m.

“When in the course of human events . . .”—these fi rst words of the Declaration of Independence remind us of one of the most important docu-ments ever written that defi nes basic human rights. The Declaration was adopted by the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776, claiming Americans’ rights endowed by the Creator: “. . . among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Pearson will discuss the issues that drove the colonists to make a break with Great Britain. Deciding to take this step brought great risk to all the colonists, but the signers of the Declaration knew that if they were captured by the British, they would undergo a speedy trial and quick execution.

Light refreshments will be served, and admission is free. The Cowan Center for the Arts is located at 303 Montgomery St.

Anna was captain of the swim team and was chosen Most Valuable and Most Improved swimmer during her years of involvement. She holds several school records and qualifi ed for the Tennessee State Swimming and Div-ing meet. Anna is a lifeguard, teaches swim classes, and helps to coach the Sewanee TigerSharks’ summer swim team. She will attend Lynn University in the fall.

Rachel Lanise Pope, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Pope of Cowan, served SAS as a Proctor, Blue & Gold Guide, Big Sister and a member of her class committee. An outstanding ath-lete, she was a member of the softball team and was voted captain and Most Valuable Player by her teammates this year. She also played soccer and ran track, garnering Most Improved awards in both sports. Rachel intends to be a lawyer and will be attending the University of Tennessee-Knox-ville, where she plans to minor in foreign languages, concentrating on Spanish. In refl ecting on her years at SAS, Rachel wrote, “I have truly enjoyed my time at SAS. No matter where life leads me, my heart will forever remain on the Mountain. My teachers have been absolutely incred-ible, guiding me in the right direction, providing constructive criticism, and blessing me with their presence.”

Valedictorian and Head of School Award recipient Daniel Christian Shaver, son of Stephen Shaver and Karen Kuers of Sewanee and Susanne Fest of Yellow Springs, Ohio, is a Na-tional Merit Scholar. Daniel received numerous awards for his academic achievement, including High Honors, Cum Laude Society membership and honors for academic achieve-ment in science, math, history, art, English and Spanish.

Daniel will be attending Lewis and Clark College in the fall. A special SAS memory for Daniel was his final chemistry project: “Although the results weren’t conclusive, I really enjoyed the expe-rience. I learned a lot and I realized how much I loved working indepen-dently on scientifi c research. … I am now very likely to major in chemistry in college.”

Allison Lee Spaulding of Se-wane, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Spaulding, was a founding member of the SAS Dance Team and was team captain this year.

She hosted her own radio show on the school’s radio station and was active in theatre. Ally plans to take a gap year and travel to Africa to work in orphanages. One of Ally’s most memorable SAS ex-periences was singing in a Creative Expression assembly, “[It] was both nerve-wracking and completely thrilling at the same time.

The Alternative School operates as a satellite of Franklin County High School. Students may be sent to the Alternative School for various misbe-haviors, as listed in the Student Code of Conduct, which is available online at <http://franklincountyschools.k12tn.net/FCHSparentsstudents.html>).

The 2009–10 General Purpose School Budget passed unanimously.

The new 2009–10 budget has a total revenue of $40,672,728. How-ever, funds received from the state of Tennessee decreased by $331,119, and federal funds also decreased by $227,770.

The 2009–10 budget’s total esti-mated expenditures are $41,380,004 compared with last year’s expen-ditures of $42,205,168. Cuts were made to instructional supplies in the areas of technology ($26,000) and vocational education ($10,000) and to vocational instruction equipment ($10,000).

The estimated ending fund bal-ance on June 30, 2009, is $1,814,903; on June 30, 2008, the fund balance was $2,576,793.

Board Chairman Mike Cunning-ham said, “With no signifi cant in-creases in the district’s revenues for two consecutive years, I would like to thank Dr. Sharber for the tremendous amount of work you have done and for your leadership. And I thank the central offi ce staff and school system employees who have foregone raises.” He also commended “those who lost their jobs and have handled [their losses] well.” Cunningham added, “Many employees are taking on ad-ditional duties or additional students. We do not have to feel guilty in the fu-ture for asking for more money from citizens—starting next year.”

Chief Technology Officer Alan

Clark presented a proposed list of Internet connection bids. He said that $87,553 more than is budgeted will be needed to complete installations at Sewanee, Rock Creek and Broadview elementary schools. As the board discussed various options presented by Clark, board member Mike Abbott asked to see a breakdown of materi-als and more details on installation to judge whether estimated labor charges are reasonable. The board voted to table the technology bids and discuss them at its July meeting with additional information.

Sharber is working with Clark to send board members all documents prior to meetings via computer PDF fi les, using a program called Board-Docs. At board meetings, each mem-ber will have his or her own laptop computer to view the documents, and members of the audience will be able to read the documents on the boardroom’s large screen as they are discussed. BoardDocs will cost a total of $3,000, including $1,000 for the fi rst year, beginning in fall 2009. A BoardDocs trainer will attend the board’s August work session. For more information on this pro-gram and its provider company, see www.boarddocs.com.

In other business, the classifi ed employee pay scales were accepted, and the special education budget was approved as submitted by Spe-cial Services Supervisor Ron Terrill. Part of the federal funds allocated for special education next year will be used to hire an additional teacher at Cowan Elementary School to help meet the needs of 30 special needs students, including several autistic children.

The service agreement with Southern Tennessee Medical Center was accepted, including $37,800 for

School Board Passes Budget, Gets Scolded from page 5 . . .athletes’ drug testing. Board member Chris Guess and others questioned the effectiveness of preseason drug tests compared with random drug testing. The board agreed to discuss this further at its July meeting.

Instead of sending teachers away for in-service training, Director Sharber said, “We’re having a math specialist come to meet with teachers once a month to go over standards and work with teachers of grades fi ve through 12.”

She said that priorities for new roofs are: 1) North and South Middle schools; 2) Clark Memorial Elemen-tary; and 3) Rock Creek Elementary. Bidders will be pre-qualifi ed by Shar-ber and a consultant she has hired to make sure the roofing contractors “know what they are doing.” She also reported that Clark Memorial has received a federal grant of $26,102 for fresh fruit and vegetables.

The school board will not have a work session in July. The next regular board meeting will be held on Thurs-day, July 9, at 6:30 p.m. in the board meeting room, 215 S. College St., Winchester.

The Franklin County Commission School Committee meeting is sched-uled for June 22, at 7 p.m. Arthur Knoll represents our district on this committee.

not receive a raise this year. A three percent raise for all employees next year would cost the system $850,000. Another 10 percent increase in health insurance premiums would cost $400,000. The system will have to pay an additional $150,000 to a trust to cover post-retirement benefits. Additional funds must be available to reinstate expenditure cuts for instructional supplies. There may be additional increases in energy costs. Most of our classroom computers are more than fi ve years old and must be replaced. These expenditures will be required just to maintain our status as a provider of a basic education. Improvements will require additional funding.

The school system has three primary sources of revenue: federal, state and local. We will receive ad-ditional stimulus funding next year; however, it will again be designated for special education and economi-cally disadvantaged students, and it is only allocated for one more year. Other federal funds are based on numbers of disadvantaged students, so as the economy worsens or im-proves, federal funding will increase or decrease. Next year, for example, federal funding will increase $58,000. It is not a great help, and as stated previously, SES does not benefi t from this funding directly.

There will likely be no increase in revenue from the state, either. Ten-nessee’s budget problems are severe and although public schools have been protected from cuts this year, there is no guarantee that will be so in the future. At best we can hope for fl at funding.

There are two other factors to be considered. First, Franklin County

Ford Reports to Community on School Budget from page 7 . . .

school enrollment has declined by 128 students over the past two years, resulting in lower funding. This year we are protected by a stabil-ity provision that will be removed if enrollment continues to be lower. The result would be a decline in state funding of about $100,000 for lower enrollment.

The second factor concerns the revision to the state school funding formula (Basic Education Funding or BEP). Franklin County now has a higher fi scal capacity index, meaning the state has determined our county is more able to fund its own educa-tion based on sales and property tax potential. This means that even if the state BEP formula results in a fund-ing increase for Franklin County, a smaller share of the total will come from the state and the local share will increase. As an example, 2008–09 total BEP funding, including both state and local shares, increased $686,000 from the previous year. Of that amount, $188,000 came from the state and $498,000 was supposed to have come from local sources, but did not. The new BEP is only partially implemented, but once it is fully op-erational Franklin County will fare even worse.

The obvious conclusion is that if Franklin County wants to improve its schools or even just maintain the cur-rent basic situation, it must do so with local funds. The school system has repeatedly cut expenditures in order to deal with inadequate revenue, but there are no more cuts to make.

Three Sewanee Seniors Inducted into Hampshire Honor Society

The National Football Foundation (NFF) has announced its 2009 NFF Hampshire Honor Society induct-ees. Sewanee seniors Tyler Brantley, Chima Ikwuezunma and Ben Scott have earned this honor.

The NFF Hampshire Foundation was formed in 2007, and the award is given in recognition of outstanding accomplishments in the classroom, in the community and on the play-ing fi eld.

Each Tiger inducted this year maintained above a 3.35 grade point average through graduation and excelled on the fi eld and in the community.

“I am so pleased to see these young men named to such an honor,” said head coach Robert Black. “So often people across the country forget why our student athletes are in col-lege to begin with, and it is nice to be reminded that our players’ lives extend way beyond the fi eld. For us to have three recipients of this award in one year speaks volumes for Sewanee and our football program. All three of these young men will go on to do remarkable things, and this award is a nice way for them to look back on their four years as players.”

Sewanee senior Jordan Casey has been named first team Academic All-American by the College Sports Information Directors of America. “The remarkable thing about Jor-dan Casey is that her academic achievements represent a true love of learning,” said tennis coach Conchie Shackelford. “She immerses herself in a variety of subjects because she is truly stimulated by them.”

Casey recently earned a bachelor’s degree in Spanish and biology and graduated with a 4.03 grade point average. A member of Phi Beta Kappa, she was a Rhodes Scholar-ship finalist in 2008. A four-time ITA National Scholar-Athlete, Casey earned spots on the Dean’s List, the SCAC Academic Honor Roll and won the Robert Woodham Daniel Prize in Expository Writing.

On the tennis court, Casey has a 60-18 career singles record, a 39-24

Sewanee’s Casey Named Academic All-American

career doubles record, finished in 2006 with a final doubles ranking of No. 15 and was a member of the 2007 SCAC All-Tournament team. She played on NCAA Tournament teams in 2006, 2007 and 2008 and was a member of the third-ranked team of 2007, which was also the SCAC champion squad that year.

The SES fi fth-grade classes performed “The Pirate Prophecy” for students, parents and the community. The play was directed by music teacher Teresa Brown. Pictured here (l–r) are Serenity Price, Scout Parker, Margaret Wilson, Benjamin Mills and (back) Donny Rung.

The SES fourth-grade classes of Bonnie Wilkinson and Rachel Reavis played their recorders, directed by music teacher Teresa Brown, for the student body. Later that evening, the students did a show for parents and community members.

Nature Notes

SongbirdsSongbirds sometimes crash into window panes, often breaking their

necks. Cooper’s Hawks carrying bird prey have hit windows and not survived. Harry Yeatman has secured two of these hawks. One was car-rying a pigeon when it struck a bank window in Tullahoma, and another was unlucky with a window in Cowan while carrying a common grackle. Both of these hawks and their prey were mounted by Harry.

Some lucky birds are only stunned in a crash. Here is a close-up photo of a White-throated Sparrow that was lightly stunned and temporarily could only hop around the Yeatmans’ front deck last week. Harry got his camera and approached the sitting bird. It hopped onto his left hand. Balancing the bulky camera in his right hand, Harry took this picture and several others before the recovered bird fl ew away. “It was fun to hold this bird,” Harry reported.

White-throated Sparrows are very interesting birds that nest in Canada and our northern states, according to Harry. Look for the streaked head and white throat patch. Listen to the songs of these birds that sound like a whistled, “sweet-peabody-peabody-peabody.” The call, “chink,” is often heard as these birds are fl ying into shrubbery for the night. Large boxwoods are a protective favorite.

Father’s DaySunday, June 21

Coleridge caused his wife unrest, Liking other company best; Dickens, never quite enthralled, Sent her packing when she palled; Gauguin broke the marriage vow In quest of Paradise enow. These things attest in monochrome: Genius is the scourge of home.

Lady Nelson made the best of What another took the rest of; Wagner had, in middle life, Three children by another’s wife; Whitman liked to play the dastard Boasting here and there a bastard. Lives of great men all remind us Not to let their labors blind us.

Each helped to give an age its tone, Though never acting quite his own. Will of neither wax nor iron Could have made a go with Byron; Flaubert, to prove he was above Bourgeois criteria of love, Once took a courtesan to bed Keeping his hat upon his head.

But mine is off to Johann Bach, For whom my sentiment is “Ach!” Not once, but twice, a model spouse, With twenty children in the house. Some fathers would have walked away In what they call a fugue today; But he left no one in the lurch, And played the stuff he wrote in church.
