Little League Organizational

Meeting TuesdaySewanee Little League will have

Stipe to Present an Evening of Piano

MusicAssistant University Organist

Daniel Stipe will present an evening of piano music this Saturday, Jan. 23, at 7 p.m. in Guerry Auditorium. Admission is free, and the public is invited.

Stipe will play selections from two collections of piano music, the “Songs Without Words” of Felix Mendelssohn and the “Tales” of Nikolai Medtner. While Mendelssohn’s “Songs” are de-lightful and tuneful, Medtner’s work exhibits a darker emotional palette: the “Tales” are mostly sombre but occasionally punctuated by levity and tenderness. Medtner was a friend and contemporary of Rachmaninov, but is little-known and vastly underrated as a composer. Discover musical delights old and new in these two very special collections of piano pieces.

University Opening Convocation

Tuesday, 12:30 p.m. in All Saints’ Chapel.

Details on page 3

John Bordley, University professor of chemistry, will deliver the lead, “The Colors(?) Black and White,” at the EQB Club on Tuesday, Jan. 26, at 3:30 p.m. in the Hearth Room of the Sewanee Inn. Refreshments will fol-low. Anyone may attend the talk, since it is not restricted to EQB members.

Bordley teaches general chemistry, physical chemistry and a laboratory science course for nonmajors titled Chemistry and Art. His interests in chemistry, art, pigments and the theory of color led him to develop the presentation. Bordley will elucidate the terms “black” and “white,” color theory and measurement, the prepa-rations of several black and white pigments and artists’ use of black and white in paintings and drawings.

Sewanee Community Chest

Meets GoalThe Community Chest fund drive

has reached its goal of $102,000 with the help of a very generous dona-tion from Vice Chancellor-elect John McCardell. Many thanks to all of the individuals and businesses who pledged and donated to support the 22 organizations which will receive the funds. Sewanee is a generous community!

Community Chest Fund Drive co-chairs (from left) Jay and Laurie Fisher and Knowles and Bill Harper happily announced Tuesday that we had reached this year’s goal. Below, Laurie gets to move the thermometer to the top.

Serving Where Called

Six years ago this column be-gan to support the large number of reservists and National Guard members called up for active duty to serve in the war in Iraq. About 120,000 troops remain in Iraq to support and train their military and assist with counterterrorism.

On Dec. 1, President Barack Obama announced he is send-ing 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan to focus on reversing the Taliban’s momentum. They will join the 68,000 troops currently deployed in this volatile area.

This is a reminder that someone else is standing guard and facing fi re for us. Please keep the follow-ing individuals, their families and all those who fi ght for freedom in your prayers:

December Emergency

Services ReportsEMS: The Sewanee Emergency

Medical Service had 12 calls in De-cember, according to Director Dennis Jones.

FIRE: Chief David Green reports the volunteers had 14 calls in the month—12 alarms and two landing zones for the emergency helicopter.

POLICE: Chief Robert White re-ports the department patrolled 4,724 miles in December; investigated two vehicle accidents; made six arrests for liquor law violations; had 15 theft re-ports; issued four tickets for moving violations, 310 for nonmoving viola-tions and 25 warnings. Two animals were picked up for animal control.

The Sewanee emergency siren is tested every Saturday at noon. One short rise and one fall of the siren are sounded for the test. In the event of an actual emergency or warning notifi -cation, the siren will be activated for a two-minute period. The “all clear” will be indicated by one long rise and fall of the siren.

When the test siren or the emer-gency/warning notifi cation siren is sounded, PLEASE DO NOT CALL the police dispatcher! This ties up the police department’s phone lines and could prevent an emergency call from being received or being received soon enough for the police or emergency services to give it their immediate attention.

Sewanee community members met to brainstorm ideas and coordi-nate efforts for Haitian relief in the chaplain’s offi ce on Jan. 14. Repre-sentatives attended from All Saints’ Chapel, Alumni, Chapel Outreach, De-velopment, Mountain Top Musicians, St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School, School of Theology, Sewanee Elementary School and Otey Parish.

The group posted a list of repu-table charitable organizations (see below) on the University’s website and agreed to plan a series of events under one umbrella effort to raise money for relief. See page 1 for details

FYI: Sewanee Emergency Siren

Haiti: How Can We Help?on the fi rst event, Soiree for Haiti.

For ongoing effort details, check <www.sewanee.edu> daily.

Online DonationsThe following relief agencies on

the ground in Haiti need support for supplies and medical profession-als. Online donations may be made through Doctors Without Borders at <http://doctorswithoutborders.org/>; Episcopal Relief and Develop-ment at <www.er-d.org/>; Partners in Health at <www.pih.org/>; American Red Cross at <www.redcross.org>; and Oxfam at <www.oxfam.org/>.

The siren warning notifi cations are usually, but not limited to, weath-er-related issues. When these sirens are sounded, citizens should tune in radios, televisions, text messag-ing, e-mail or phone messaging for further information on the weather or emergency conditions.

The Sewanee police department respectfully requests all residents of the community not to call the police station for information about the siren when it sounds. The dispatcher cannot handle a high volume of calls for information while conducting other business involved in emergency operations. Your cooperation with this request is appreciated.

The Sewanee Utility District Board of Commissioners will hold its annual meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 26, at 5 p.m.

Voting in the commissioner elec-tion will continue in the SUD offi ce through 4 p.m. on Tuesday. Karen Singer is seeking re-election unop-posed. Rick Sommer’s position will be fi lled by appointment during the annual meeting.

He has to his credit over 90 articles, forewords and essays, and nearly 150 book reviews and essay reviews.

Wyatt-Brown to Address

Friends of the Library Jan. 29 Opening Convocation for the

Easter semester at the University will be held at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 26, in All Saints’ Chapel. Sewanee’s 23rd chancellor, the Rt. Rev. J. Neil Alexander, bishop of the Diocese of Atlanta, will be installed during the convocation. Honorary degrees will be presented to the Rt. Rev. C. Andrew Doyle, bishop of Texas; Robin Eames, retired archbishop of Armagh; and journalist Morton M. Kondracke. Eames will deliver the convocation address.

Alexander was elected the 23rd chancellor of the University of the South at the October meeting of the Board of Trustees, succeeding the Rt. Rev. Henry N. Parsley Jr. The chan-cellor is elected from the bishops of the University’s owning dioceses for a term of six years. Alexander has served on the University’s Board of Regents since 2005 and as a trustee since 2001. He was the Norma and Olan Mills Professor of Divinity at the School of Theology from 1997 to 2001, and received an honorary Doc-tor of Divinity in 2002 from Sewanee. Alexander was ordained bishop of the Diocese of Atlanta in 2001.

The Rt. Rev. C. Andrew “Andy” Doyle was elected bishop coadjutor of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas in 2008 and was seated as the ninth bishop of Texas in June 2009. Doyle is a gifted and experienced teacher and preacher who has a particular interest in reaching younger gen-erations to help them join with more experienced church members to share wisdom across generations. Born in Carbondale, Ill., and raised in Houston, Doyle served fi ve years as canon to the ordinary prior to his election as bishop, and served in Austin, Temple and College Station, Texas, prior to his appointment to the diocesan staff in 2003.

Robert “Robin” Henry Alexander Eames, the Lord Eames, OM, has been a lawyer, rector, archbishop, diplomat and peacemaker. For 20 years he served as the 103rd Arch-bishop of Armagh and Primate of all Ireland. Eames has been described as “the troubleshooter” of the An-glican Church, but his willingness and ability to take on situations of dire confl ict extends far beyond the Church. Eames has been an advo-cate for peace and understanding in Northern Ireland for many years. He has been a confi dant of Irish and British prime ministers, a negotia-tor with the Irish Republican Army and Loyalist paramilitaries, and a

Opening Convocation Jan. 26

contributor to the peace process in Northern Ireland, even as he was pas-tor to those affected by the confl ict. He received the Order of Merit from Queen Elizabeth II. He is only the sec-ond recipient (after Desmond Tutu) of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Award for Outstanding Service to the Anglican Communion.

Morton M. Kondracke has been a journalist for more than 45 years (40 of them in Washington, D.C.), and has covered nearly every phase of American politics and foreign policy, both in print and on the air. For the past 18 years, he has served as executive editor and columnist for Roll Call, Capitol Hill’s independent newspaper. He writes “Pennsylvania Avenue,” a syndicated column on national politics and domestic and foreign policy.

His career includes a stint in the U.S. Army, as well as work for the Chicago Sun-Times, The New Republic, Newsweek and the Wall Street Journal. On the air, Kondracke served as a regular panelist on “The McLaughlin Group” among other programs, and most recently has been with Fox News. Kondracke chronicled his first wife’s struggle with Parkinson’s disease in his 2001 book, “Saving Milly: Love, Politics and Parkinson’s Disease.”

The Cumberland Center for Justice and Peace (CCJP) recently received a grant award of $1,400 from RESIST, Inc., a national progressive founda-tion located in Somerville, Mass.

The funds will be used to help CCJP further its mission: to educate and empower the community of Franklin County and the surround-ing Cumberland Plateau region to take action for social, cultural and environmental change that promotes justice and peace locally, nationally and globally.

Over the course of the past several months, CCJP has hosted forums and panel discussions on health care reform and the Afghanistan confl ict; it has also sponsored a peace vigil to observe the eighth anniversary of U.S. military action in Afghanistan. In response to the new Tennessee law allowing handguns in bars and restaurants serving alcohol, the CCJP Gun Control Committee sur-veyed local bars and restaurants to inquire about their fi rearms policy, published the results and provided participating restaurants with a sign to post that states their policy.

CCJP’s plans for spring include a forum to explore how to foster a partnership between sustainable farming practices and sustainable communities and how to expand Camp Anytown recruitment, with the goal of making the program avail-able to all area young people. The Anytown experience fosters leader-ship and community awareness by addressing bias, bigotry and racism at a grassroots level.

“We are very excited to have received this grant from RESIST,” says Executive Director Leslie Lytle. For more information about CCJP write to P.O. Box 307, Sewanee, TN 37375; or contact Lytle at 598-9979 or <[email protected]>.

RESIST began in 1967 in sup-port of draft resistance and in op-position to the Vietnam War. As the funder of fi rst resort for hundreds

of organizations, RESIST’s small but timely grants and loans are made to grassroots groups engaged in activist organizing and educational work for social change. RESIST defi nes orga-nizing as “collective action to chal-lenge the status quo, demand changes in policy and practice, and educate communities about root causes and just solutions.” RESIST recognizes that there are a variety of stages and strategies that lead to community organizing. Therefore, they support strategies that build community, encourage collaborations with other organizations, increase skills and/or access to resources and produce leadership from the constituency being most directly affected. In fi s-cal year 2007, RESIST gave over $308,000 to 126 organizations across the country.

“Each year, RESIST funds groups like the Cumberland Center for Jus-tice and Peace because our mission is to support people who take a stand about the issues that matter today, whether it’s to resist corporate glo-balization, promote a woman’s right to choose, or develop activist leaders,” says board chair Kay Mathew. “And we believe it’s especially important to help grassroots organizations that might be too small or too local—or too radical—for mainstream foun-dations.”

Blue Monarch is pleased to an-nounce that despite the recent uncer-tain economy, which greatly affected many nonprofi ts over the past year, the organization gained 118 new donors in 2009, which accounted for a signifi cant portion of the overall contributions for the year. Blue Mon-arch is a one- to two-year residential program for Tennessee women and their children recovering from abuse and addictions.

“We realized that our existing donors may experience setbacks of their own, so we decided early in the year to focus on gaining new support to make up the difference,” says Susan Binkley, executive director.

“We are extremely happy that with all the bad news about the economy, we found lots of folks who wanted to be a part of Blue Monarch and the work we do to restore lives for women and children in our area. It seemed to give people something positive to get excited about,” says Binkley.

Blue Monarch has been in opera-tion since 2003 and since that time has served more than 200 women and children.

Haven of Hope has received a $40,000 one-year grant to provide emergency shelter and housing assistance. The grant is part of an annual program of Avon Products, Inc., and the Avon Foundation in which Avon regional branch offi ces across the United States nominate worthwhile local nonprofi t organi-zations for funding under the Avon Speak Out Against Domestic Violence program.

The domestic violence program at Haven of Hope will support victims in the six-county service area and deliver essential services, including

Living with Osteoarthritis?

Each year an estimated two mil-lion Americans undergo arthroscopic surgery on their knees, shoulders and other joints. The results depend to a great extent on patients’ obser-vance of guidelines before and after surgery. With support from some of the world’s leading arthroscopy specialists, the American Arthritis Society has compiled some useful, practical tips for self care. Each tip is easy to follow and can be helpful in preparing for surgery. These and many more suggestions regarding osteoarthritis can be viewed online: <www.americanarthritis.org>.

Gains New Support

Haven of Hope Receives Avon Grantemergency shelter assistance, crisis counseling, safety planning, and personal/court advocacy. The vital housing assistance component will also allow specifi c subsidy support to victims to help them obtain or maintain safe housing.

“We are proud that Avon Foun-dation shares our mission and has chosen to support our program. With these funds we will be able to give cli-ents that extra help they need to make a successful transition to a life free of violence,” says Mona Mason, execu-tive director, Haven of Hope, Inc.

At its meeting on Jan. 14, the Franklin County Board of Educa-tion voted unanimously to accept Tammy Grizzard’s offer to dismiss her 2008 gender discrimination lawsuit against the Franklin County School Board and former Director of Schools Charles Edmonds.

Grizzard had fi led a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee in Winchester. The board had responded by submit-ting affi davits and other materials to the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Grizzard had worked for the school district as an assistant superinten-dent.

Grizzard’s offer, sent through her attorney, says that she will dismiss the lawsuit and will not reintroduce the suit in the future in exchange for the school board’s agreement to remove all materials that it fi led with the EEOC and any mentions of the lawsuit from her personnel fi le. Steve Ford, school board member representing Sewanee, made a motion to accept Grizzard’s offer on the fol-lowing conditions: 1) that the school board be given the agreement [to be drawn up by Grizzard’s attorney and the board’s attorney] to review before it is submitted to the court, 2) that Grizzard agrees not to bring the case

F.C. School Board Accepts Grizzard’s Offer to Drop Lawsuit on

Three Conditionsor anything related to it back against the board and 3) that Grizzard agrees to drop her lawsuit against former Director of Schools Edmonds. Board members voted unanimously in favor of this motion.

In telephone interviews with the Messenger on Jan. 20, Ford and Direc-tor of Schools Rebecca Sharber said that settlement of the suit will be a positive move for the school district. Ford said, “In my opinion the suit never had any merit. It will be good to put this behind us.” Sharber said, “The board is trying to make sure all the bases are covered. This is a good thing and in the district’s best interest.”

After the attorneys for both sides have written the agreement and school board members have ap-proved it, the agreement will be fi led with the Winchester division of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee. According to Jan Kelley, district court deputy clerk, the fi nalized document with all par-ties’ signatures will be forwarded to Judge Harry S. Mattice Jr., the federal district judge for the Winchester area, whose offices are in Chattanooga. Judge Mattice will then rule on the agreement.

The Grundy Area Arts Council is once again sponsoring art classes at its studio in the Tracy City Water Department Building. Classes are being offered in the visual arts and pottery.

Pottery classes are at 4–6 p.m. on Mondays with Pottery Open Studio on Thursdays at the same time. Visual art classes in drawing and/or painting are on Wednesdays with Visual Art Open Studio on Fridays, 3:30–5:30 p.m. If Wednesdays do not work for you, visual art students can take all of their sessions on Fridays.

Art fees are $55 for 10 classes plus 10 open studio sessions for either pottery or visual art. While there is a materials fee of $15 for the pottery class, visual art students are expected to bring their own supplies.

Visual art students who want classes in drawing need to bring a carbon pencil, white charcoal pencil, #2 lead pencil or #2 wooden pencil, white vinyl eraser and drawing pa-per. Painting students need to bring brushes, water cup (for acrylics and watercolors), palette, a variety of paint colors, canvas or paint panels or watercolor paper (for watercolors) and tabletop easel. Drawing and painting students are expected to bring a photo, picture or magazine clipping for their subject. The more clear and concise the image, the easier it will be to reproduce on can-vas or paper.

Classes are individualized to the student and visual arts are ongoing, meaning students can start at any time.

Visual art teacher Elizabeth Bell, can be reached via e-mail at <[email protected]> or call (931) 592-5159 (evenings, 7–9 p.m.) Pottery teacher Laura Brewer can be reached at <[email protected]> or call (931) 924-5419.

School Scoop

Morris Earns Dean’s List

Marissa Morris earned a place on the Dean’s List at Tennessee Wesleyan College (Athens, Tenn.) during the fall 2009 semester. Only those students attaining a grade point average of 3.4 or above with no grade lower than a C are so honored. She is a sophomore studying education. Marissa gradu-ated from St. Andrew’s-Sewanee in 2008 and is the daughter of Ann and Patrick Morris of Sewanee.

Sgt. Chris Guess has begun the an-nual Ident-A-Kid service in Franklin County’s schools. Ident-A-Kid is offered through a partnership with the Franklin County Sheriff ’s Depart-ment and Franklin County Schools. This year, the service is targeting students who have not previously been fi ngerprinted. Parents of chil-dren must give permission before an

Cowan Elementary School Principal Cynthia Young observes as Sgt. Chris Guess with the Franklin County Sheriff ’s Department takes a digital fi ngerprint of CES student Chandler Sewell to record for identifi cation purposes.

Guess, with the help of Ellis Counts and Diane Gass, has fi n-gerprinted the students at Sewanee, Cowan and Broadview. The team will move to other schools over the next few weeks.

The Sewanee Children’s Center is proud to announce that it has been awarded three-star status by the Tennessee Department of Human Services—the highest level awarded. The three stars are awarded based on scores in the areas of director quali-fi cations, professional development, parent/family involvement, ratio and group size, staff compensation and the program assessment.

The program assessment is a multi-hour observation of the pro-gram’s curriculum and daily practic-es. Three classrooms were observed

Sports Scoreboard

Sewanee swimmer Will Overton of Jacksonville, Fla., has been named Tiger of the Week for his performance the week of Jan. 11–18.

Overton raced the Div. II National Champion in the 200 free and 500 freestyle, and though he fi nished sec-ond in both races, he posted season best times and scored valuable points to keep Sewanee men close with the 17th-ranked Tars of Rollins College on Jan. 12 in Florida.

“Will personifi ed the ‘tough guy’ attitude embodied by the team dur-ing our Florida training trip,” said Sewanee coach Max Obermiller. “De-spite the record low temperatures in Florida, Will and the team persevered and trained hard every practice, every day. His performances against one of the top individuals in Division II is

Sewanee swimmer Will Overton looks to clock for results.

Will Overton Named Tiger of the Weektestimony to this hard work paying off, and he paved the way for a very successful team performance under difficult circumstances. I look for great swims from Will and the entire team when SCAC Championships roll around in February.”

SAS Football Players HonoredTwo SAS Mountain Lion football

players have been honored for their play during the 2009 season by being named to the DIIA East All-Region Football Team: Emmanuel Gabaud, a junior from Sewanee, and Justin Thomas, a junior from Monteagle. Gabaud led the team in total offense, and Thomas led the team in tackles.

Sewanee Men’s Basketball Report

The Sewanee men’s basketball team travelled to Texas last weekend for competition.

Sewanee led Southwestern 25-23 at halftime, but Southwestern rallied in the second to get the 64-56 win on Friday, Jan. 15, in Georgetown. Andrew Little led Sewanee with 20 points. Point guard Tony Marelle had six assists on the day. As a team, Sewanee led 38-31 in rebounds, but Southwestern had a 42-40 edge in fi eld goal percentage.

The Tigers faced Trinity on Sun-day, Jan. 17, in San Antonio for SCAC play. Trinity beat Sewanee, 65-46, after leading 36-22 at the half.

Garrett Hollingsworth led Se-wanee’s effort with 11 points. As a team, Sewanee was 40 percent accu-rate from the fi eld, while Trinity made 42 percent of its fi eld goals. Sewanee had a 28-19 edge in 3-point fi eld goal percentage, but Trinity had the edge in free throws.

Sewanee is now 3-12 and 0-7 in the SCAC. Sewanee will host Colo-rado College and Austin College this weekend in SCAC play.

Sewanee Swim/Dive Competes at

Rollins The Sewanee swimming and div-

ing teams competed at Division II Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla., on Jan. 13, and the Sewanee women topped the host Tars 104-102.

The Sewanee men battled back from 23 points down to trail by a single point going into the last relay, but Rollins prevailed, edging out Sewanee for a 10-point win margin. The Rollins women are ranked 28th nationally in Division II, and the men are 17th.

“We swam very well for where we are in our training cycle,” said coach Max Obermiller. “We’ve been swim-ming 5 hours per day and were pretty tired going into the meet. Despite that, we swam tough and posted many times that were at or close to season bests.”

Will Overton led the men, compet-ing in two races against the Division II national champion in those events. Sara Neil helped the women win the 200 medley relay and posted wins in the 200 IM and 200 butterfl y.

Sewanee will compete this Sat-urday, Jan. 23, when the Tigers host Transylvania University and LaGrange and Gordon Colleges at the Fowler Center pool.

SAS Boys’ MS Basketball Team

Defeats Tracy CityThe St. Andrew’s-Sewanee boys’

middle school basketball team trav-elled to Tracy City and quickly dis-patched their opponents by a score of 40-16.

Starters for the Mountain Lions continued their good play. Hunter Craighill scored a season high of seven points, Kyle Johnston played very well on the boards, and Will Thomas scored 16 points.

Players who left the bench im-pressed the crowd tremendously, Coach Bill Seavey reports. Playing most of the second half, they preci-sion-passed their way to good inside shots and were on equal footing with Tracy’s starters. Henry Fisher scored four points and was tough under-neath, while Jake Wiley and Alex Hanson scored two each—the latter his fi rst basket of the season with 1 second remaining in the game!

The St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School girls’ varsity basketball team defeated the Feet from Webb School, 59-39, on Jan. 14 at home.

Hannah Barry fi nished with six points, six rebounds and four steals; Nikki Johnston drained a 3-pointer to fi nish with three points and one rebound; Sadie Shackelford totaled nine points and seven rebounds; Avery Shackelford tallied 11 points, fi ve rebounds and three assists; Ally-son Ridley fi nished with 18 points, eight rebounds, four assists and six steals; Michaela Shackelford totaled 12 points, six rebounds and three assists; Meredith Earwood pulled down three rebounds; and Elizabeth Gabaud snatched two boards.

Four members of the St. Andrew’s-Sewanee varsity swim team raced at the Excel High School Invitational meet in Brentwood on Saturday, Jan. 16.

Having already qualifi ed for state in both events, sophomore Will Evans of Sewanee swam both events well, placing 10th in the 100-yard breaststroke and 11th in the 100-

Ninth-grader Myles Kincaid captured third place at 103 lb., while eighth-grader Abe Johnson grabbed another

The Sewanee Elementary basket-ball teams took on Decherd Elemen-tary on Thursday, Jan. 14. Each SES team was looking to put another one in the win column.

The SES Lady Tigers never got into their groove. They faced a fast Decherd team whose full-court press proved to be too much. The Lady Ti-gers did have some outstanding plays defensively and offensively. The shots were there for this team, but the ball could not fi nd its way into the basket. They lost the game, 22-7. Erin Berner-Coe led the way for the Lady Tigers with four points, and Blake Collins answered with three points.

The SES Tigers faced a different challenge with the Decherd boys team. The fi rst half saw the Tigers struggling to contain the inside play of Decherd. Foul trouble for SES

Sewanee traveled west last week-end for some SCAC basketball and was topped by Southwestern and Trinity.

Sewanee lost its Friday, Jan. 15, game, 83-71, to Southwestern (Georgetown, Texas) after leading, 81-80, at the half. The host Pirates came back to beat the Tigers behind Shea Seagraves’ 32 points.

Lauren Gulley led Sewanee with 21 points and is leading the Tigers in scoring this season after scoring 44 points in the last two games. Senior Kelly Morrison was also in double digits with 11 points. Dani Kabbes led with seven rebounds and also chipped in eight points.

“We were in a great offensive fl ow,” said coach Grover Levy. “We were true to the game, and the game in return was true to us.”

On Jan. 15, the SAS girls lost at St. Cecilia, 56-30. Avery Shackelford led the Mountain Lions with 10 points and eight rebounds; Michaela Shackelford recorded nine points and three steals; Sadie Shackelford finished with five points and six rebounds. Ridley totaled fi ve points, fi ve rebounds and three steals.

“St. Cecilia took us out of our game with their physicality,” said Levy. “On a positive note, we forced them into 22 turnovers, and that is something we can use as a springboard going forward.”

The Tigers played at Trinity in San Antonio on Sunday, Jan. 17.

After Trinity took a 56-32 lead before halftime, the teams played even ball with 39 points each in the second for the 95-71 final tally in favor of Trinity.

Running out of time with 8 seconds left on the clock, the Tigers pulled the score to 22-21, but lost the game. Sam Thomas netted nine points, followed by Ben McClung with six.

Nature NotesFox Sparrows Return to Area

The cold weather and snow bring many northern birds into the eastern United States and some southeastern states. This week, Fox Spar-rows are joining Juncos to feed on cracked corn, wheat and millet seed scattered on the ground near Jean and Harry Yeatman’s feeders.

The Fox Sparrow is one of the largest of our sparrows, being about an inch longer than the English Sparrow (which is really a Weaver Finch). Its rusty or reddish upper body parts, conspicuous reddish tail and rusty marked white breast make it easy to identify. It has migrated to Tennes-see, etc., from the boreal forest in northern Canada and Alaska, an area known by many people as the “moose-spruce” part of the Arctic.

The Fox Sparrow nests on the ground and low bushes. There it lays four or fi ve light blue eggs spotted with brown, in the nest of coarse grasses lined with hair, feathers and mosses.

Up in Canada, the Fox Sparrow produc-es a very melodious song, but in winter habitats it only pro-duces a feeble “tseep.” Here in Sewanee, it scratches with both feet in dry leaves on the ground to secure earthworms, spiders, hibernating insects, etc. They are lucky to find bird food scat-tered on the ground by many people. En-joy this big sparrow with the reddish tail and striped breast. In spring, it will go back up north.

December 2009 was barely in the record books when an arctic cold front ushered in 2010, with temperatures near freezing and below that lasted for nine consecutive days in this area.

Based on information supplied by the National Weather Service (NWS), the extended cold snap resulted in an increase in energy use. The NWS tracks information related to daily temperatures by using a 65-degree base temperature. At 65 degrees, no auxiliary heating or cooling are re-quired. As temperatures drop below 65, heating degrees are recorded. Heating degree days directly corre-spond to the amount of energy needed to maintain warm surroundings.

During the fi rst 10 days of 2010, the NWS recorded 439 heating degree days, compared with only 214 heat-ing degree days for the same 10-day period in 2009. On the first day of 2010, the highest temperature of 37 degrees occurred, and only two other days surpassed the freezing mark of 32 degrees. This excessive number of degree days caused a 100-percent increase in heating requirements from the same period last year, which will be refl ected in consumers’ energy us-age for January.

For a typical 30-day billing cycle, an average residential consumer who normally uses about 1,500 killowat hours (kWh) of energy will have used approximately 2,250 kWh of energy due to the increase in degree days. This month’s increased energy use will result in an increase in consum-ers’ next energy bills of from 40 to 50 percent.

Duck River Electric encourages members to conserve energy and

Duck River Reports Record Cold Streak Increases Energy Use

lower their energy bills by taking some simple steps around the home this winter:

• Set thermostats to 68 degrees. For every degree the thermostat is lowered, heating costs will go down by 2 to 3 percent.

• Change HVAC fi lters monthly. • Insulate electric wall plugs and

wall switches with foam pads. • Close shades and drapes at night

to keep heat in. • Make sure shades and drapes are

open on the sunny side of the house to catch free solar heat.

• Ensure windows and doors are properly caulked and weather-stripped.

Tell them you saw it here!

From Bard to Verseby Scott and Phoebe Bates

Oh miserable mortals! Oh unhappy earth!Oh, of all miseries the terrible sum!Of meaningless tragedies the eternal evidence!You foolish philosophers who say, “All is well”;Come down and contemplate these terrible ruins,These remains, this fl esh, these burning ashes,These women, these children, heaped on one another,Under broken rock, these scattered limbs;A hundred thousand victims devoured by the earth,Who, bloody, torn, and breathing still,Buried under roofs, end without aid,In the horror of their agony, the last of their days!To the weakening cries of their dying voices,To the terrible sight of their smoking ashes,Will you say that “The eternal lawsOf a free and benevolent God require this choice?”Will you say, “By the sight of these piles of victims, God is avenged; death is the price of their crimes?”What crime, what sin have these children committedLying crushed and bloody on their mothers’ breasts?Lisbon, which exists no more, did it have more vicesThan London, than Paris, delighting in their pleasures?Lisbon is destroyed; they are dancing in Paris. . . .

—Translated from “Poem on the Lisbon Earthquake [1755]” by Voltaire (1694–1788)
