School Board Considers Grant, Takes First Look

at 2013–14 Budgetby K.G. Beavers

Messenger Staff WriterTh e Franklin County school board

met in a work session on March 4 to discuss the telemedicine grant op-portunity and the first draft of the 2013–14 school board budget.

Th e Franklin County school sys-tem has been awarded a two-year $499,000 telemedicine grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Mike Lay, an educa-tion sales consultant with PCS Inc., gave a presentation to the board about the equipment used with this grant. Th e telemedicine program is a way to connect a student to medical providers while the student is at school.

“Th is program is not designed to re-place medical professionals, but helps parents, students and schools to pro-vide another layer of health care,” said Lay. Telemedicine is a type of walk-in clinic, where common ailments

are diagnosed through audiovisual equipment connected to a doctor’s offi ce. Th e doctor’s offi ce handles all insurance claims and prescriptions, as needed. Parents would sign up for the service at the beginning of the school year. Parents are also contacted before, during and aft er the service.

“We applied for this grant as an op-portunity to do bett er, not to say that nurses are not doing a good job or that our students are not gett ing adequate care,” said Rebecca Sharber, Franklin County director of schools. “We will also have an opportunity to teleconfer-ence in all the schools,” said Sharber. Teleconferencing includes att ending meetings, classes and professional development opportunities without having to travel.

Th e school board postponed mak-ing a decision about this grant until the April meeting.

“We need a specifi c plan in place

St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School has named John W. Hargis II as head football coach for the 2013–14 season. Hargis will succeed varsity coach Ellis Mayfield, who will retire at the end of this school year.

Hargis holds a B.S. in physical education with a minor in athletic coaching from Middle Tennessee State University. He has more than 14 years of coaching experience, includ-ing A AU girls’ basketball and football at the litt le league, middle school and high school levels.

Since 2002, Hargis has served as a teacher and coach for Grundy County schools. He joined the SAS football program as defensive coordinator in 2011. In addition to coaching football, Hargis will coach two other sports, assist with the school’s Adventure Education classes, teach middle school physical education, serve as an advi-sor and weekend team member and provide daily coverage for the school’s Owen Student Union.

“John Hargis knows SAS football aft er being our defensive coordinator for the past two years, and he believes in what we are about,” said Fr. May-field. “He loves the game and has a great rapport with our athletes. I think he will do an outstanding job.”

Although a member of TSSA A in most sports, St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School plays eight-man football in the Middle Tennessee Athletic Confer-ence. The Mountain Lions finished the reg ular season as MTAC co-champions with an 8-3 overall record and a 5-1 conference record.

first quarterly Community Speaker Series at 5 p.m., Th ursday, March 14, in Th omas Hall at its Monteagle location. Susan Binkley, founder and executive director of Blue Monarch, will be the opening speaker in the series.

“We look forward to having Su-san from Blue Monarch as the first speaker,” said Barry Allen, Mountain Community president and senior credit offi cer of Citizens State Bank. “She will be a good representative of the speakers we anticipate bringing to the Mountain on a quarterly basis.

Th e Community Speaker Series is

designed to bring people together and discuss a va-riety of top-ics, organi-zations and events t hat a re v ita l to the Montea-g l e M o u n -tain communities.

Power Outage Th is

WeekendDaylight Savings Time begins at

2 a.m., Sunday, March 10. Clocks get moved ahead by one hour as we “spring forward” into the annual time change.

Also, TVA has a four-hour power outage scheduled for the Sewanee community between midnight and 4 a.m., Sunday, March 10. TVA will be working on the high-tension power lines below the Memorial Cross. Th e communities of Sherwood, Anderson, Sinking Cove and Cowan in Franklin County will not be affected by this scheduled outage.

Many electronic devices such as cell phones and computers automatically adjust when Daylight Savings Time begins or ends. However, traditional clocks and watches must be reset; this is a good time to change batt eries in household smoke detectors.

According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Day-light Savings Time was extended by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 in the inter-est of reducing energy consumption. DST is now in eff ect for 238 days or about 65 percent of the year. Daylight Savings Time in the U.S. now begins at 2 a.m. on the second Sunday of March and ends at 2 a.m. on the fi rst Sunday of November.

Chick Corea (left ) and Béla Fleck, two of today’s most creative musicians, will bring their stunning technique and musical genius to Sewanee when they appear together as part of the University’s Performing Arts Series, 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 27, in Guerry Auditorium.

Th e most signifi cant prize administered by the Sewanee Review, the Aiken Taylor Award was established in 1987 to honor an accomplished American poet for the work of his or her career.

Christ Church, MonteagleLong before Mot her’s Day i n

America, the Sunday in mid-Lent was called “Mothering Sunday”. In some places special services were held, and prayers for mothers were offered. Because the Gospel reading was one of the stories of the loaves and fi shes, the Sunday also came to be called “Refreshment Sunday.” This is one of only two Sundays in the Christian year known as “Rose Sunday.” Christ Church has never had a set of rose-colored vestments, but Deidra Duncan of Manchester, Tenn., designed a set and executed the design. A chasuble, three stoles and a chalice veil will be blessed on Sunday, March 10, during the 10:30 a.m. service. Christ Church honors Deidra for this beautiful gift .

detailing this is what we are going to do, this is what we are going to test and this is how we are going to implement the program,” said Kevin Caroland, chairman of the school board. “We also need to consider privacy issues,” said Caroland.

In new business, Sharber presented the budget amendment resolutions. Th e County Solid Waste program has been paying the school’s disposal fee for at least the last three years, totaling $98,500. Th is is money owed to Solid Waste this fi scal year. Th e disposal fee will become a new budget line item for the school board. Th e board post-poned passing this resolution amend-ing the general surplus school budget until the April meeting, in order to get more information.

Sharber presented the first draft of the 2013–14 school board budget, which included new expenditures.

“In the governor’s budget, he has added a 1.5 percent salary increase. Th is is not a mandated salary increase and does not have to be applied across the board,” said Sharber. She explained that this money could be used for pos-sible merit raises or applied to benefi ts.

Increases to health, property and worker’s compensation insurance are also expected in the new budget. Several new positions were added to the draft budget, including hiring an additional social worker, a full-time middle school art teacher and a full-time counselor at Decherd Elemen-tary. Th e current full-time counselor at Decherd would move to the Huntland Elementary and Middle schools.

Sharber reported there would be additional expenditures added to the budget, including technology purchases to replace existing equip-ment, purchasing equipment for the mandatory PA A RC online testing and purchasing walk ie-talk ies for each school. Because of the national sequester cuts, the school board will be receiving $150,000 less in Title I grants, including disadvantaged stu-dents programs and individuals with disabilities programs. Th is budget cut will not aff ect special education teach-ers or assistants, as those positions are essential to the programs.

Th e next school board meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m., Monday, March 11, at the board offi ce, 215 S. College St., Winchester.

Board ( fr om page 1) Poets( fr om page 1)Greger is a poet and visual artist who fi nds inspiration for each of her genres

in the other. Known for her intersections of myth, fact, history and everyday life—both in her poetry and her visual art—she encourages her writing students to fi nd these connections as well, especially by looking for inspiration in the visual arts. Greger herself tried to submit a quilt in place of an essay when she was a student at Iowa (the eff ort was, unfortunately, unsuccessful). A reviewer for Publishers Weekly once remarked that Greger “rarely rejoices, though she can surely console; her pruned-back, autumnal sensibility and her balanced lines suit the scenes she portrays.”

She is the author of eight books of poetry, including “Movable Islands” (1980) and “By Herself ” (2012). Her award-winning collection “Desert Fathers, Uranium Daughters” (1996) draws its themes from her childhood—her father worked at the Hanford Site, a plutonium production facility constructed as part of the Manhatt an Project in 1943, whose plutonium was used in both the fi rst nuclear bomb ever tested and the bomb detonated over Nagasaki. Th e Nation characterizes her style as exhibiting “deadpan wit, intelligence and marvelous insight.” Greger’s poetry has been published in numerous periodicals and reprinted in six volumes of “Th e Best American Poetry.” She has exhibited her collage artwork at several galleries and museums across the country and has designed several book covers, including William Logan’s collection “Desperate Measures” (2002).

William Logan is a poet and literary critic known for formality and structure in his own writing. Since 1975 he has published a vast amount of work—both criticism and poetry—in such major publications as the New Yorker, the New York Times, the Paris Review, Poetry and the New Criterion. He is the author of nine books of poetry, including “Sad-Faced Men” (1982) and “Madame X” (2012). Along with essays and reviews, Logan has also writt en and edited six books of criticism, the most recent of which is “Our Savage Art,” published in 2009.

Richard Tillinghast has described Logan as an “accomplished and original poet . . . [who] writes with vigor, almost classical restraint and a fi ne sense of musicality.” Poetry’s editor, Christian Wiman, off ered this analysis of the power of Logan’s criticism: “William Logan is the best practical critic around. I sometimes disagree with his judgments fi ercely, but that I so fi ercely disagree, that his prose provokes such a response, is what makes him the best. Most criticism is like most poetry: it simply leaves you indiff erent. I’ve seen Logan’s name bring bile to the lips of the gentlest spirits . . . For breadth of intelligence, an incisive style and pure passion, I don’t think he can be matched.”

Sewanee Writers’ Conference Faculty Member Honored

Sewanee Writers’ Conference faculty member Dan O’Brien has been named one of two inaugural winners of the Edward M. Kennedy Prize for Drama. Th e annual prize is given to a play that “enlists theater’s power to explore the past of the United States.” O’Brien won the award for his play “Body of an Ameri-can.”

Th e New York Times said the play “exam-ines the challenges of war reporting, specifi cal-ly the ethical and personal consequences of the publication of a famous photograph showing the body of an American soldier being dragged through the streets of Mogadishu, Somalia.”

In addition to being a playwriting faculty member of the Writers’ Conference, O’Brien was the Tennessee Williams Playwright-in-Residence at Sewanee in 2002–03 and again in 2005. He will be returning to teach at this summer’s Conference.

Supported by the Walter E. Dakin Memorial Fund established by the estate

Dan O’Brien

of the late Tennessee Williams, the Conference gathers a distinguished faculty to provide instruction and criticism through workshops and craft lectures in poetry, fiction and playwriting.

Th e Nashville Ballet performed “Degas and the Litt le Dancer” for Sewanee Elementary School students at Guerry Auditorium recently; the ballet company was joined on stage with selected SES students. Funding was provided by several sponsors, including the Tennessee Arts Commission and the Sewanee PTO.

SAS Winterim Class Uncovers the Past

St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School stu-dents took a break from regular classes in February for Winterim, a week of mini-courses in subjects as diverse as animal care and woodworking. One group of nine students participated in an excavation of an archaeological site on the St. Andrew’s-Sewanee campus.

The archaeology workshop was led by SAS science teacher Marion Knoll. Knoll started this work in 2008 under the guidance and supervision of Sarah Sherwood, archaeologist at the University. The site, which had been heavily looted in the past, is producing diagnostic artifacts that will help to determine its dates of oc-cupation. Students worked in back dirt (the already excavated dirt of the site) to gather artifacts that looters had previously deemed too small or too

insignifi cant to keep. Two students, Crawford Emory and Ryan Toomey, participated in this Winterim project last year, too. According to Knoll, their expertise was invaluable.

“During this week, students have responsibly excavated an archaeologi-cal site and learned to identify a wide variety of artifacts such as nutting stones, grinding stones, hammer stones, projectile points, scrapers, fl int chips and pottery shards,” she said. “Th ey also properly cleaned and stored artifacts for the purposes of future cataloguing , organization and re-search,” explained Knoll. Th e artifacts recovered by students are contributing signifi cantly to archeologists under-standing of prehistoric habitation patt erns on the Cumberland Plateau.

OVERTIMEby John Shackelford

My college roommate and tennis doubles partner was from a small North Carolina town known more for its textile mills and the local Na-tive American Lumbee population than for its collection of public tennis courts. But for some reason this litt le town of St. Pauls, N.C., kept winning high school tennis championships. I was told the secret came not from the water in the Lumber River but rather as a result of the wise direction from a learned coach who had immigrated to the Tar Heel state from his native Ethiopia. I wanted to go watch and learn from this coach who was having such a positive eff ect on the success of so many people, so my buddy and I packed our bags and drove his old Ford Mustang a couple hours up U.S. Hwy. 301 to watch this master coach.

Th e fi rst student I watched him work with was a young man struggling to hit many balls over the net. Coach Fatai Adelke observed from his post at the net as the misguided shots gathered at his feet. He seemed to be thinking very carefully while stroking his chin, his thoughts buried inside a deep level of concentration. In a very thick accent that made his words even more mysterious, he said to his young pupil, “You need to hit the ball higher.” A few courts away he stopped a young girl who was also making far too many unforced errors. “You need to hit more shots into the court.” I watched fascinated as student aft er student took in this simple yet eff ective advice and applied it with great benefi t toward their success.

A few years later during my fi rst year out of college, I was coaching at UNC-Asheville. I took my team to Athens for a large tournament at the home of the Georgia Bulldogs, the premier college program with the largest and grandest tennis facility in the country. I had two players who unluckily drew an opening round doubles match against the home-standing SEC and national power Georgia tandem. I was actually thrilled to be coaching on the same court as the legendary Dan Magill, who had built the top-ranked Bulldogs into a program envied by all. My boys hung in there and kept the score close for much of the match. Coach Magill spent most of his time away from our court, busy running the tournament as the director. As night began to fall, and his scheduling was running behind, this ageless coaching giant approached the fence to speak to his troops. I leaned forward from my seat to hear his wise instructions, certain that I would put it into my memory bank as a lesson learned from another master. “Dammit boys, it’s gitt in’ daak out heya, and I need this court!” His All-Americans quickly swept away my novices in a matt er of minutes.

It is strange how many of us, when faced with problems that seem insur-mountable, fi rst try to analyze and reach for complex solutions rather than simply fi nd wisdom in straightforward advice. If you are hitt ing it in the net, then hit it higher. If you are missing the court, then hit it between the lines. And if your coaching legend needs that court to fi nish his work, then you had bett er damn well be sure to take care of business and win the last point quickly. Th at is when I decided that coaching was for me. It is a heck of a lot easier fi guring out solutions on the tennis court with only a bouncing ball to worry about than trying to decipher the acceleration rate of a rocket or the coeffi cient of X when Y means something I clearly don’t understand. Now if I could just develop a wise Ethiopian accent or a slow Georgia drawl.

Pickleball in Sewanee

Sewanee is putt ing together a pick-leball team in order to compete at the Senior Olympics.

Practice is being held at 10 a.m. on Monday and Th ursday at the Fowler Center indoor track. All are invited to participate.

Pickleball is a racquet sport which combines elements of badminton, ten-nis and table tennis. Th e sport is played on a court with the same dimensions as a doubles badminton court.

Although pickleball appears to be very similar to tennis, there are key diff erences that make pickleball more accessible to a wider range of players, particularly children and seniors.

Myrtle Warbler

Snow is Good for Wildlife ViewingJean Yeatman reports, “Th rough the windowpane this week with

such cold and damp weather, Harry and I have had very good nature viewing from indoors. One morning a spike buck climbed up the bluff where the bobcat had gone down; it stood looking back down, and soon a large grey fox came up. Th e fox made a large circle around the deer and then trott ed off along the game trail beside the bluff . I put our motion camera at that spot, and the next day we put the chip from the camera into a viewer. First a striped skunk appeared, several deer, some squirrels, and then the bobcat appeared twice.

“Watching our bird feeding area this week has turned up two new visitors: a Swamp Sparrow, which had been around Lake Eva most of the winter, and a Yellow-rump or Myrtle Warbler, which lives in this area for the winter, and which is giving the other birds trying to use our feeder much grief. It sits on the feeder, driving the other birds away, and it does not eat the seeds, just the suet. A true ‘dog in the manger.’

“We have had Red-headed Woodpeckers living and breeding in our pasture for the last three years, and this week they have fi nally learned to come to the suet. One sat in a tree for several days watching the other birds feed, then it fl ew to the feeder and ate for the longest time.”

State Park Easter Egg

HuntThe 32nd annual South Cum-

berland State Park Easter Egg Hunt will be at 10 a.m., Saturday, March 23, at the Visitors’ Center on Hwy. 41 in Monteagle. Park manager John Christof and interpretive specialist Jason Reynolds will be joint Masters of Ceremonies. This event, for chil-dren walking age and up, will have five age categories, with four prizes awarded in each group to children fi nding the prize eggs. Th ere will be no “most eggs found” competition. Adults will only be allowed to assist toddlers in the “walking to age 2” group.

“We had approximately 294 people (157 children) attending last year’s festivities and hope that it will be an even bigger success on March 23,” Christof said.

The Tracy City Fire and Rescue Squad will help with hiding eggs and traffi c control. “It means so much to have people we can count on to help make the hunt safe and run smoothly, and that makes our jobs easier,” added Christof.

Th e Friends of South Cumberland State Recreation Area are the event’s generous sponsors again this year.

Extra caution should be taken when driving through the park. Drive slowly and follow att endants’ direc-tions upon entering the main gate. Since parking takes time and spaces are limited, hunt-goers should carpool if possible, plan to arrive between 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., and proceed to the ballfi eld for hunt instructions. In case of rain, the program will be resched-uled for 1 p.m. on Sunday, March 24.

SEWANEE & MONTEAGLE ASSEMBLY

I wandered lonely as a cloudTh at fl oats on high o’er vales and hills,When all at once I saw a crowd,A host of golden daff odils,Beside the lake, beneath the treesFlutt ering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shineAnd twinkle on the milky way,Th ey stretch’in never-ending lineAlong the margin of a bay:Ten thousand saw I at a glanceTossing their heads in sprightly dance.

Th e waves beside them danced, but theyOut-did the sparkling waves in glee:--A Poet could not but be gayIn such a jocund company!I gazed--and gazed--but litt le thoughtWhat wealth the show to me had brought;

For oft , when on my couch I lieIn vacant or in pensive mood,Th ey fl ash upon that inward eyeWhich is the bliss of solitude;And then my heart with pleasure fi lls,And dances with the daff odils.

—“Th e Daff odils” by William Wordsworth
