Downtown Development Update by Leslie Lytle, Messenger Staff Writer “ere are five priority projects we hope to realize in the next five years,” said Frank Gladu, Special Assistant to the Vice-Chancellor, providing an overview of changes Sewanee residents can expect as the University pursues implement- ing the Sewanee Village Plan. e 2011 University Master Plan included revisioning the downtown area, and two years ago, the University retained town planner Brian Wright to create a road map for that vision. e five projects on the front burner are the Highway 41A intersection, a grocery-type market, housing, relocating the University bookstore to downtown and a village green. Construction to narrow Highway 41A will begin in early 2018, according to Gladu. “Narrowing the highway will calm traffic and make crossing less intimidating,” Gladu said. To further foster user friendliness, the intersection plan approved by the Tennessee Department for Transportation calls for street lights, sidewalks and a pedestrian activated crosswalk. Redesigning the intersection is key since realization of the other four pri- orities will give residents increasing occasion to cross to the non-campus side of the highway. In the Hair Depot’s current location, plans call for a grocery store type market School Board Finalizes Budget; Approves Bean Contract by Leslie Lytle, Messenger Staff Writer At the June 22 special called meeting, the Franklin County School Board nalized the budget for the 2017–18 school year, requesting an $842,000 in- crease in property tax revenue compared to last year. e board also approved a two-year contract for newly appointed director of schools Stanley Bean, who will take office July 1, replacing Director Amie Lonas who recently resigned. Lonas’ draft budget recommended requesting a $492,000 increase in property tax revenue, citing a 6.9 percent increase in medical insurance costs (total $405,000) and $562,000 decrease in Basic Education Program (BEP) funding from the state. “e only place we can get the additional revenue needed is from property taxes,” Lonas said. Property values in the county have increased, she explained, but the state’s recommendation is to keep the amount collected at the same level by decreasing the value of the penny. If the property tax rate remained the same, the county would collect $2 million more in property tax revenue, Lonas noted. Lonas stressed that paying 90 percent of medical insurance was a crucial “recruiting incentive.” Board member Gary Hanger agreed. “If we start making teachers pay more of the insurance, they’ll look to other systems for employment.” Lonas’ draſt budget also included a 2 percent salary increase for both certified and support employees. For the coming year, the state is requiring $487,000 of the BEP money go for raising teachers’ salaries, she said, and a 2 percent increase was needed to meet that goal. Lonas expressed concern that the budget would require the school system to draw $2 million from the fund balance, leaving only $2.8 million in the fund balance at the end of the 2017–18 school year. “is is not sustainable,” Lonas insisted. Sewanee school board representative Adam Tucker proposed the board request an additional $350,000 in property tax revenue, half of the amount Anderson Named as Executive Director of St. Mary’s Sewanee St. Mary’s Sewanee: The Ayres Center for Spiritual Development is pleased to announce the appoint- ment of the Reverend Dr. E. Lucius “Andy” Anderson III as its fourth Executive Director effective in early September. Anderson joins St. Mary’s Sewanee to continue building upon St. Mary’s Sewanee’s vision, expand- ing reach and facilities development that have marked its growth over the last decade. Anderson most recently has served as the Rector of the Church of the Nativity in Huntsville, Ala., since 2003.

It’s also nice to interact with musicians and people who live here—to not just come in and go away,” said Bond. “It’s like you’re contributing to the life of the community.” It was this aspect of the Sewanee community that made agreeing to take part in a Sunday service so easy.

Frank Gladu, Special Assistant to the Vice-Chancellor, providing an overview of changes Sewanee residents can expect as the University pursues implement-ing the Sewanee Village Plan.

OUR FLAGTo the Editor:

I have been going through the man things that I have accumulated during my lifetime and the enclosed article about our fl ag was among them.

“I’m Your Flag! Hello, remember me? Some people call me Old Glory, others call me the Star-Spangled Banner, but whatever they call me, I am your fl ag—the fl ag of the United States of America.”

Th ere are so many people who have forgott en the Pledge of Allegiance and no longer stand when the fl ag passes by. With all of the batt les that are rag-ing throughout the world, it is time for our people to draw closer together and protect our freedom. During my lifetime, World War II brought our people closer together and everyone worked to end the war. No one com-plained because there was rationing. Th ere were few males in Sewanee, and women fi lled the jobs that the men had done. We had more than 250 local residents in service. Th ere were metal drives and the people scoured dump sites for metal. Many Civil War guns went into the piles and the Civil War cannon that stood by the Cross went back to war.

When I saw this article about the fl ag, it made me think that it is time for all of us to count our blessings and work together.

Ina M. Myers, Sewanee ■

Editor’s note: Due to space limita-tions, we were unable to reprint the entire “I’m Your Flag” article. Please go online to read it in its entirety < htt p://staging.americanf lag foundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/I-Am-Your-Flag.pdf> .

CELEBRA TE THE BIRTH OF THE UNITED STATESTo the Editor:

Th e last two years, just prior to the Fourth of July parade while people gathered along University Avenue, motorcyclists with the Rebel Battle fl ag came roaring back and forth, tak-ing advantage of the crowd to make fools of themselves.They evidently don’t understand that the Civil War was a rebellion against the United States of America and that July 4 is a celebration of the birth of the United States, not the Confederacy. Th e irony

of the idiotic juxtaposition of fl ying the Rebel Batt le Flag alongside of the American Flag is, apparently lost on them.

I propose that we, as a community, celebrate our Grand Marshals and the Fourth of July by simply turning our backs and chairs when these churlish “Rebel” motorcyclists who seek our at-tention much the same as two-year-old children, come roaring through our midst. Let us, simply, turn our backs. Spread the word.

Tom Phelps, Sewanee ■

Happy 4th of July!

four to fi ve times the size of the local convenience market. Th e grocery will off er fresh produce, meats, dairy prod-ucts and foods to prepare meals with, rather than just ready-to-eat foods.

Not far from the grocer y, in a wooded area adjacent to Prince Lane (catt ycorner to the Community Cen-ter), the design projects cott age court type housing with as many as 42 living spaces.

Th e plan also envisions nine single- family residences, multi-family homes with as many as 25 living spaces, and apartments on the upper level of all commercial buildings on both sides of the highway.

“Th e variety of residence types will make housing in Sewanee more af-fordable,” Gladu said. “We don’t really have that now. Th e cost of large homes creates a market that’s very challenging for someone starting out.”

“Th e residence variety called for in the plan is also making Sewanee at-tractive to developers,” he pointed out.

“We’re close to reaching an agree-ment with several developers, both in residential and commercial compo-nents of the plan,” Gladu said. He cited the grocery, bookstore and Southern Tennessee Regional Health Systems (STRHS) interest in locating a clinic in downtown Sewanee.

One scenario under consideration by STR HS is a clinic with rotating specialties.

Gladu wants to see relocating the bookstore to downtown “on a faster track.” Th e bookstore will continue to off er student course materials. “We’re evaluating sites,” Gladu said. “Once we decide on a site, it will take another couple months to design the structure, and probably a year for construction.”

Plans call for the village green to be located on the present Sewanee Market lot. “We envision the green as a place for people to gather, a site for festivals and perhaps a location for the Sewanee Gardeners’ Market,” Gladu explained, noting that parking on the bordering streets was a possibility.

Gladu assumed the role of Special Assistant to the Vice Chancellor in January allowing him to focus full time on the senior living project Arcadia and downtown development. His of-fi ce in the Lease Offi ce “Blue House” at 400 University Avenue makes him easily accessible to residents who have questions about the Village Plan. You can also reach him at <[email protected]>.

The Dow ntow n Development project will host an open house from noon to 2 p.m., Tuesday, July 4, at the Lease Offi ce.

Needs such as aff ordable housing and a grocery have been on Sewanee’s wish list for a long time, Gladu in-sisted, but “if we’d allowed the real estate market to do what it wanted to do when it wanted to do it, the result would be a hodgepodge.” He sees the Village Plan as a way for these dreams to be realized while preserving the character of the Sewanee village long-time residents love.

Monteagle ( fr om page 1)Following up on the suggestion of a visitor, Sampley will contact the election

commission to check on the legality of a midterm election to fi ll the remaining vacancy. “It would be expensive,” Sampley cautioned.

Th e council approved the 2017-2018 budget. Th e budget calls for the pur-chase of two new police cruisers. Police Chief Virgil McNeese said the state contract listed the price as $29,310 each, noting that last year the cost was $35,000. Th e council approved the purchase at the 2017 contract price.

Fire Chief Mike Holmes said he only received two replies to his request for quotes on the repair of engine number one. Taylor said two quotes were suf-fi cient if an eff ort had been made to get three quotes.

Th e council approved Holmes’ recommendation to have the repair done by the Monteagle Rocky Top Truck Stop, the low bidder at $55,045. “I prefer local, and they’re equipped to do it,” Holmes said. He noted the department would have easy access to equipment on the truck if needed.

Th e council also approved Holmes request to enter into an Automatic Mu-tual Aid contract with Pelham Valley Volunteer Fire Department.

“We need an additional contract to get an upgrade on our ISO rating,” Holmes said. Th e department already has a contract with Sewanee and in the past had a contract with Tracy City, “but it was very one sided,” according to Holmes.

Th e council approved on second reading rezoning to accommodate a con-crete plant even though negotiations fell through with the company considering locating in Monteagle. “We may be able to fi nd another concrete company,” said realtor Jimmy Jernigan. “Th ere’s no concrete plant on the mountain. Th ere’s a defi nite need.”

Codes Enforcement offi cer Earl Geary said he’d prioritized eight out of 19 property maintenance issues. Th e owners of two structures had completed the legal process necessary for the city to proceed with demolition, but Geary stressed, “Th e city won’t be reimbursed for the cost of the demo until the properties sell.

“If the city chooses to perform maintenance, such as mowing the grass on neglected property, the city could place a lien on the property to recover expenses,” Geary said.

A visitor proposed the city hire an offi cer to assist Geary. “He’s overwhelmed. Th ese old houses have been here for years. If we want the town cleaned up, we need to do something.”

“Th ink about what you may need so far as help is concerned and get back to us,” Sampley advised Geary.

Updating the council on progress in selecting an auditor, Sampley said the city’s accountant recommended accepting the $17,000 bid from BCS accounting services. Last year’s audit cost $35,000. Th e board approved the recommendation.

Blalock heads up the Parks and Recreation Department. Bishop asked if Blalock serving as both an alderman and department head violated policy. Taylor will research the question with MTAS.

Th e alderman discussed availing themselves of MTAS training.Th e council meets next Monday, July 24.

necessary to implement the 2 percent salary increases for certifi ed and support employees (total cost, $700,000).

The board incorporated Tucker’s suggestion and amended the budget, increasing the total property tax revenue request to $10.1 million. Th e board approved the budget unanimously.

Turning to the contract of newly appointed director of schools Stanley Bean, Board Chair Cleijo Walker said, “Th e salary amount must be above the highest paid salary we have, which is $98,500.”

Th e board unanimously approved board member Lance Williams’ recom-mendation they set Bean’s salary at $108,500, which is 10 percent above the current highest salary.

Leading up to the fi nal vote on approval of the contract, Tucker announced, “I am voting ‘no,’ but it’s not due to lack of faith in Stanley Bean. You’ll have my full support,” Tucker said, turning to address Bean. “I can’t approve the contract because of the way we got here. I’d vote ‘yes,’ if we’d conducted a search.”

At the outset of the meeting, Franklin County Education Association (FCEA) President Anna Mullin addressed the board expressing concern about the manner in which Bean was appointed to the offi ce of director of schools. “Th e decision that took place was not legal,” Mullin said, insisting she spoke as a parent and community member, not as an FCEA representative. “You didn’t follow your policy at all. I have no issue with Mr. Bean and hope his tenure is successful. I am not trying to change anything. But if you can disregard that policy, you can disregard others. I hope in the future, the board will carefully consider before taking any action that is contradictory to current policy.” Note: Th e policy identifi es practices and procedures for conducting a search for and reviewing the credentials of qualifi ed applicants. Th e board appointed Bean without conducting a candidate search or review.

Like Tucker, board member Sara Liechty said she was unable to vote in favor of the contract. “I tie my concerns to those of Miss Mullins. I’ll fully support Stanley Bean, and I recognize his strong support in the community, but policy was violated. I know Bean needs a contract, so I can’t vote against it, but nor I can’t vote it.”

In the roll call vote that followed, Tucker voted, “no,” and Liechty voted, “present,” with the other six board members voting for approval.

Defending her motion at the June 12 meeting to appoint Stanley Bean direc-tor of schools, board member Linda Jones said a number of constituents con-tacted her and advised, “‘Don’t do a search. Appoint Stanley Bean.’” Jones noted Bean was the runner up in the review process that resulted in Lonas’ selection. “I don’t apologize for making that motion,” Jones said. “When I arrived at the meeting on June 12, I saw school att orney Chuck Cagel’s proposal and timeline for conducting a search, and I thought, ‘Why in the world would we wait until September to select a director when we have someone who can do the job.’”

Th e board meets next on Monday, July 10.

the parish through a long-range vision-ing process that resulted in master planning and a $4.2 million successful capital campaign to renovate the 1859 National Historic Landmark Church and eliminate the parish’s debt to ac-quire adjacent property in downtown Huntsville. After physically “build-ing the Church,” Anderson spent his energy and leadership “building the church spiritually in formation, mis-sion, and ministry,” embracing the Catechumenate for new member in-corporation, RenewalWorks Spiritual Development Ministries of Forward Movement and expanding the parish’s outreach eff orts including establish-ing one of the south’s premier local Grower’s and Artisan Markets, The Greene Street Market at Nativity. Na-tivity has a long tradition of support-ing Centering Prayer, and Anderson is in the process of becoming a certifi ed Centering Prayer Workshop Facilita-tor through Contemplative Outreach.

Before his tenure at Nativity, An-derson ser ved as Rector of Grace Church in Anderson, S.C., where he led the parish through extensive stra-tegic planning and a capital campaign to renovate and expand the historic church. Anderson initially served in ordained ministry at the Cathedral of St. Philip in Atlanta, Ga., as Canon Educator for Children, Youth and Family Ministries, embracing and leading a vision for ministry that saw tremendous growth.

R. Dale Grimes, President of the Board of Trustees of St. Mary’s Se-wanee, said “The Board of Trustees is thrilled to welcome Andy as the new executive director of St. Mary’s Sewanee. Andy is absolutely the right person to take on these duties at this time. He brings to St. Mary’s Sewanee his extensive experience in spiritual development programming and ac-tivities, service to and leadership in the Episcopal Church, fi nancial and administrative acumen and signifi cant and proven fundraising ability. We are excited about the possibilities for our future with Andy as our Execu-tive Director as we enter a new phase of growth in programming and cam-pus development.”

In recent years, St. Mary’s Sewanee has accomplished a number of goals in the plans envisioned by the Board. Th e Anna House, completed four years ago as the Center’s newest lodging facility, has been fully brought on line, providing more hospitality options for its guests by allowing accommodation of larger groups as well as simultane-ous use by multiple groups. Th e qual-ity and number of its programs have

increased, including a new relationship with the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation, which has commenced a four-part program, the Soul of Lead-ership, at St. Mary’s Sewanee. Many other programs off ered by long-time St. Mary’s Sewanee presenters have been able to make use of the Center’s new and upgraded facilities on a year-round basis.

Anderson returns to the Mountain with the enthusiasm and sk ills to lead St. Mary’s Sewanee forward in this ongoing expansion of facilities and programs. “I fi rst experienced St. Mary’s as a thin holy place of spiri-tual connection to God on an Advent Quiet Day my fi rst year at the School of Th eology in 1991. I returned to St. Mary’s many times during seminary years to know the quiet and refresh-ment from the beauty of holiness St. Mary’s offers,” A nderson remarks. “Aft er beginning a Centering Prayer practice in the late 1990s, I began at-tending retreats and other events at St. Mary’s. It’s a part of my spiritual DNA and has continued to enrich and enliven my life and ministry. I have been nurtured by St. Mary’s mission and its heart of prayerfulness and it will be a privilege to give back to this sacred and beautiful place that has given so much to me and to others. I am excited to continue my journey in the capacity as Executive Director and look forward to the great work of building upon what John Runkle and the fi ne staff and St. Mary’s Board have launched. I believe in our mission, having served with fundraising eff orts to help get us where we are today. I look forward to leading the eff orts to allow others to be a part of contributing to St. Mary’s mission with their time, talent and fi nancial resources.”

A native of Statesboro, Ga., An-derson holds a Doctor of Ministry and a Masters of Divinity honoris causa from Th e School of Th eology at Sewanee, a Masters of Business Administration in Finance from Geor-gia State University and a Bachelor of Arts in History from the Univer-sity of Georgia. Prior to ordination in 1994, Anderson had a successful career in corporate bank ing w ith the SunTrust Banks. He has served the wider church and Sewanee in many capacities and looks forward to strengthening St. Mary’s connections to the wider Church as well as in inter-faith collaborations. He and his wife Tippy have been married for almost 36 years and have two adult children, Case and Sally, who like Andy and Tippy, consider Sewanee home.

The parade ends at Hall Avenue just before the Hospital. We’ll turn right at Hall and then right again into the big parking lot that runs behind the Hospitality Shop.

To ride your bike in the parade, you will need an entry form; to be at Woody’s no later than 1:40 p.m. (or 1 p.m., if you want to be in best decorat-ed bike contest); a helmet; and an adult accompanying all children under 16.

MSSA Highlights, July 2-8The Monteagle Sunday School

Assembly in Monteagle continues its 135th consecutive summer season of enrichment with an interdenomi-national worship service Sunday at 11 a.m. in the Assembly’s Warren Chapel. Th e eight-week season will continue through Sunday, Aug. 6, featuring numerous visiting lecturers who will present morning and evening pro-grams in Warren Chapel that are open free of charge to the public; unless oth-erwise noted, morning lectures begin at 10:45 a.m. and evening lectures at 8:15 p.m. Anyone interested in a full schedule of the Monteagle Assembly’s 2017 program is welcome to pick one up at the Assembly Offi ce, call (931) 924-2286, or to peruse the schedule on the Assembly’s website at <www.mssa1882.org>.

The ongoing development of the Mountain Goat Trail is the subject of Sewanee Domain Manager Nate Wilson’s talk Monday, July 3 at 10:45 a.m. Nate, who lives in Monteagle, is the president of the Mountain Goat Trail Alliance (MGTA). Aft er recently completing an extension of the paved Mountain Goat Trail from Sewanee to Monteagle, the MGTA is now ex-ploring further extension of the trail through Monteagle.

What would a July 4 week be with-out yummy food? New York Times bestselling author Anne Byrn returns to the Assembly Wednesday morning, July 5, to share the real stories behind America’s great cakes. Whether the cake was a layer, Bundt, chocolate or spice, sheet cake or cupcakes, whether made with white sugar or molasses and frosted or unfrosted, that cake said much about America when it was fi rst baked. Our nation’s good times, hard times, our melting pot of immigrants, the cultures, fads, fashions, the wars, the inventions, the Presidents and the sheer American spirit have all con-tributed to the cakes we have baked and the ones that endure today in our recipe boxes. In her book, “American Cake” (Rodale, 2016), Byrn looks through the lens of cake to better understand who we are. And right on time for our nation’s birthday, Byrn takes us on a confectionary journey from Colonial Gingerbread to Jam Cake to Fannie Farmer’s fi rst brown-ies, to Lady Baltimore, to Red Velvet, to fl ourless chocolate cakes, to today’s

Tres Leches and Chocofl an. Building on her morning lecture, Byrn will lead a cook ing demo Wednesday, July 5, at 2:30 p.m. in Harton Hall. In the kitchen, she will bake four cakes from various periods in A merican history. Aft er we discuss their ingre-dients, pans, methods, similarities, diff erences, when they were served and to whom, we will taste cakes.

Th ursday, July 6, at 8:15 p.m., pri-vate furniture dealer and consultant in southern decorative Anne McPher-son will share what she knows about “Fans, Fish, Tassels, and Bellfl owers: The Idiosyncratic Inlaid Furniture of Northeastern Tennessee.” The cabinetma kers f rom Greene and Washington Counties constructed furniture decorated with very frolic-some inlay. Largely isolated from the East Coast and even from other parts of the southern backcountry, these craft smen created a body of work that is now recognized as having been made in northeastern Tennessee. Th is lec-ture will examine the design infl uences which crossed very permeable county and state lines and how idiosyncratic inlay motifs that seem distinct to one cabinetmaking shop in one county oft en appear in modifi ed form in the work of shops in another county.

Th e Chatt anooga Symphony and Opera’s string ensemble will perform Friday, July 7, at 8 p.m. in the Audito-rium.

Additional free events this week include the following:

Wednesday, July 5, 8:15 p.m., Pul-liam Center: Screening of the docu-mentary “Reel Injun: On the Trail of the Hollywood Indian” (PG, 2009).

Friday, July 7, 10:45 a.m., Warren Chapel: “Seek ing to Reclaim the Church’s Biblical Commitment to Bodies and Spirits,” with Dr. Scott Morris.

sharing their gift s at All Saints’ going forward. I think this is a great way to get that process started and in the future,” said Ward. “I hope we are able to get [the student] musicians involved in the musical life of the chapel, as it is the center of the university and the primary academic room we use on campus.”

Preparation for the duo began when Bond arrived on the mountain. The t wo have prepared pieces by George Frideric Handel and Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni, pieces that, ac-cording to Ward, will feature Bond on trumpet and Ward on the organ. Ward, who studied trumpet at university, said the organ and the trumpet are a beautiful pairing.

For Bond, the point of students coming to the mountain for the festi-val is to learn all they can, and having access to professional musicians like Ward on campus is a benefi t.

“Later on, perhaps I can bring my students over, and they can learn how to play a wedding or how to play a worship service. Trumpet players do a lot of this kind of work, and this is an opportunity for students to learn even more,” said Bond.

Ward said Bond’s presence in the Sewanee community as an instructor for the festival is a “gift that keeps on giving.”

“Any time you get to interact with anyone who is at the top of their pro-fession is an opportunity to learn, be educated and be inspired. He’s really immersing himself in the festival and the community, and it’s to our benefi t,” said Ward. “It’s wonderful to have Peter here to help inspire us in our worship experience. It reminds us that this is one of the great centers of teaching and learning in the country.”

Bond and Ward will play together during the 11 a.m., Sunday service on July 2 in All Saints’ Chapel.

All Saints’ ( fr om page 1)

specializes in American and European paintings, sculpture and works on paper from the 19th century to present.

Denkler has been an art consultant and dealer for more than a decade in New York and Nashville. Her mother, Margaret Woods, and two sisters live in the Clifft ops community in Monteagle. She said she’s excited to show gallery selections at her “second home” on the Mountain.

“As the newest member of the (Stanford) team, I bring experience in the planning and organization of a broad range of projects from advising individu-als in the creation and growth of private collections to providing curatorial advice and consultations for galleries, museums, interior designers and other institutions,” Denkler said.

Braddock has worked in various mediums, but she said making pots is a special passion.

“My pott ery is wheel-thrown and hand-built from stoneware and porcelain clays,” she said. “I love fi sh and birds and perching them on top of my pots. I never fail to get a rush from modeling a Carolina wren from Carolina clay.  I continue to be challenged by the creative possibilities of being a pott er.”

A Sewanee graduate, Keeble has collected rugs for more than 40 years.“I hand-pick hand-knott ed Turkish, Persian and Morrocan vegetable-dyed

beauties from around the world, be they vintage, semi-antique or antique,” she said. “I off er both investment and museum quality rugs, but also expect my more aff ordable rugs to stand the test of time.”

Keeble said she plans to bring a variety of smaller room-size rugs, accent rugs and runners to the event.

“I like to encourage people to think of their fl oors, more like their walls, as large canvases upon which to draw,” she said. “We oft en look down when we walk about our homes, so doesn’t it make sense that we should put some art under our feet?”

She also plans to bring some intriguing items, possibilities include a rare antique tea caddy, a mid-century Matador sculpture, Turkish kilim pillow covers and fl ow blue china.

Dede Clements, owner of Edgeworth Inn, a co-sponsor of the event, came up with the idea for the pop-up art show. She is an art collector and promotor, who co-chairs Art for the Park at Trails & Trilliums. Th rough the Edgeworth Inn, Clements also represents Sewanee artist Bob Short.

Pearl’s Fine Dining is located at 15344 Sewanee Highway.

ANGELWITH ANATTITUDE

by Virginia CraighillDear Angel,I noticed that there is no longer a Cat Show in the Sewanee 4th of July

line-up. I have been adopting cats all year in the hopes of having some prize-winning feline entries in this year’s contest. Now what am I sup-posed to do with all these cats?

Signed,Hissing Mad Dear Hissy Fit,For many years, Sewanee did have a 4th of July Cat Show, as cat

owners insisted on equal-opportunity pet exploitation with the Mutt Show. Th ey hauled their reluctant fl uff y friends over to Manigault Park, forcing them to compete in an undignifi ed contest for “Fluffi est Tail,” “Most Unusual Markings,” and the humiliating “Biggest Cat” prizes. No cat owners ever succeeded in dressing their cat up in a costume without serious injury to themselves, as far as I know, so they had to get by with decorating their cages instead. Un-medicated cats (the Cat Show Judges insisted on testing all contestants for performance enhancing drugs) are generally crowd-averse, and it was a pathetic sight to see these fi ne intel-ligent animals held up for public inspection and the fondling of strangers.

Unlike their drooling canine counterparts, cats are proud and in-dependent creatures, as you must know by now, and they tolerated this abuse for as long as they could, but in 2015 Sewanee cats unionized and forced the shutdown of the 4th of July Cat Show, much to the dismay of those who enjoy good cat jokes and love ogling Sewanee’s fi nest examples of feline pulchritude. Hopefully the audience members can satisfy their prurient desires through the internet’s Dark Web of kitt en memes and cat videos.

But your question is what to do with the accumulation of cats? My fi rst answer would be to spay and neuter them immediately. Second, I might suggest seeing which ones do best on a leash and can learn tricks on command, then enter those in the Mutt Show, if winning prizes is what you’re all about. Th e judges will balk (as will the cats), but any de-cent lawyer could threaten them with a discrimination suit. And if all else fails, set your phone on video and start recording. You will always fi nd an audience online.

Th at’s all for meow,Angel with an Att itude Dear Angel,I left town for a while and came back to Sewanee to fi nd some strange

alterations in the landscape, such as the straw-covered patch of earth in the Lake Cheston parking lot and the brightly-colored obnoxious plastic signs all over the trails. What’s going on here?

Signed,YSR Never Change! Dear Alumni, Scientists have determined that the “straw-covered patch of earth” at

Cheston is actually a crop circle, one of those mysterious large circular markings found all over the world that appear almost overnight. Crop circles are sometimes thought to be left by fl ying saucers when aliens come to earth for unknown purposes. Not only that, but large boulders have materialized in the same lot, suggesting some Stonehenge-like sacrifi cial altar or barbecue pit will be set up.

Scoff if you will, but the Cheston Parking Lot Crop and Stone Circle coincides with many high-profi le disappearances of University offi cials. For example, the Provost has taken a position as the president of a college in “Wisconsin.” We all know that Wisconsin is a made-up state. Dean Hagi is also leaving, but would the Dean of Fun actually want to give up the joys of dealing with Greek shenanigans in the middle of the night to work at a college with no fraternities or sororities? I think not. One answer: Alien Abduction.

So how did the aliens fi nd their way around? Th at’s simple: the new signage. Th anks to the eff orts of the University to make sure all visitors can fi nd sites on campus easily, the UFO was able to land, and its oc-cupants made their way across the domain, hiked the Perimeter Trail, abducted administrators, and impregnated the goats. Th at’s right – an-other mystery solved. How else would you explain the birth of 19+ goat kids with no billy goats in the compound? Aliens.

Now that they are familiar with Sewanee, perhaps these Extra-terrestrials will decide to enroll their off spring in Sewanee’s C’21, as it seems the entering class is a litt le down. We could always use a few more Intelligent Life Forms in the freshman class.

Best,Angel

According to a study by the National Council on the Aging (NCOA), older persons with hearing loss who don’t wear hearing instruments are more likely to report sadness, depression, worry, anxiety, paranoia, reduced social activity, and greater amounts of emotional turmoil and insecurity. The NCOA conducted a large-scale survey of people over the age of 50 with hearing loss to determine the effects of untreated hearing loss on the quality of life. Among other things, this study reports that the majority of properly fitted hearing instrument users reported a significant improvement in the quality of life from using hearing instruments including improved relationships and higher confidence and a more optimistic perspective on life overall. Talk, listen, smile, and live again with custom fitted hearing instruments from Debbie Gamache’s The Hearing Center LLC. We pledge to provide you with professional service and the hearing device best suited to your individual needs to help improve your quality of life.

NATURENOTES

Oregon Flora and FaunaOnce again we have been spending time in the high desert around

Bend, Oregon. On Pilot Butt e, we saw rock chucks, or yellow-bellied mar-mots. Sitt ing up eating grasses, they look like litt le woodchuck or prairie dogs, but then they make a dash for their burrows in the ground and one sees their squirrel-like tails. Th ey are also known as ground squirrels. I’m also fairly confi dent in my identifi cation of a black-throated sparrow, a common resident of this arid hillside environment.

Th is is the fi rst time we’ve been there in the spring, and I wish I could have identifi ed all the wildfl owers and grasses. One notable fl ower was the silverleaf phacelia, very hairy with a scorpioid infl orescence such as our phacelia and waterleafs have. It att racted numerous pollinators. Th e dominant tree was the western juniper.

Along the Deschutes River we hiked in an area with much Douglas fi r. More wildfl owers, including the same wild columbine as in our area, as well as a litt le lupine, Indian paintbrush, and many others, allowed us to experience spring again. —reported by Yolande Gott fr ied

Columbine.

BARDTOVERSEby Phoebe Bates

By the rude bridge that arched the fl ood, Th eir fl ag to April’s breeze unfurledHere once the embatt led farmers stood And fi red the shot heard round the world.

Th e foe long since ion silence slept; Alike the conquerer sleeps;And Time the ruined bridge has swept Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.

On this green bank, by this soft stream, We set today a votive stone;Th at memory may their deed redeem When, lie pour sires, our sons are gone.

Spirit, that made those heroes dare To die, and leave their children free,Bid Time and Nature gently spare Th e shaft we raise to them and thee. Concord Hymn (July 4, 1837), by Ralph Waldo Emerson
