Monteagle, Tracy City Receive State
Enhancement Grants
The State of Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) will
provide the towns of Monteagle and
Tracy City with enhancement grants
to improve pedestrian walkways.
Monteagle has received $200,000 to
assist with the development of the
Monteagle Pedestrian Enhancement
Project, and Tracy City received
$85,790 to assist with the development of Phase III of the Pedestrian
Traffic Enhancement Project.
In downtown Monteagle, the
project will pick up where the existing
Mountain Goat Trail ends in the town
limits. The Mountain Goat Trail is a
78,000-foot pedestrian and bicycle
pathway that extends from neighboring Sewanee in Franklin County
to Monteagle in Grundy County. The
project will begin on US Hwy. 41 at
the Dollar General Store and continue for approximately 3,000 feet at
various points along US Hwy. 41. The
project will include construction of
an 8-foot wide pedestrian walkway
and allow the Mountain Goat Trail
to have a connector segment to the
existing streetscape in Monteagle,
which runs adjacent to College Street
and Main Street.
The Tracy City project will complement previous phases of the
Pedestrian Traffic Enhancement
Project by completing the connection
between Colyar Street and Railroad
Avenue. It will offer a safer option to
pedestrians who frequent the local
restaurants, shops, city hall, bank
and library.
The grant is made possible
through a federally funded program
administered by the Tennessee Department of Transportation. A variety
of activities such as the restoration of
historic facilities, bike and pedestrian
trails, landscaping and other nontraditional transportation projects
are eligible for grant funds under the
federal program.
Lease Committee

The next meeting of the University’s Lease Committee is on Wednesday, Sept. 23. Agenda items are due in

Open House to Celebrate Dr. Diane’s
23 Years of Service and Friendship
All Sewanee and surrounding
community members are invited to
an open house at the Sewanee Inn
on Sunday, Sept. 20, 3–5 p.m., to
celebrate Diane Petrilla’s 23 years as
a physician and friend. She and her
husband, Matt, moved to Sewanee
in July 1986 and set up Sewanee
Family Practice. The Petrillas have
three grown children—Joel, Ally
and Addy.
Alongside their growing private
practice, the two doctors ran the
emergency room at Emerald-Hodgson Hospital and took care of hospitalized patients. From 1988 to 2004,
Dr. Diane directed the University’s
Student Health Services. With the
exception of a two-year interlude,
she served as the medical director
of the nursing home in Monteagle
and will continue in that capacity
for the near future.
Diane Petrilla took a prominent
role in the governance of South-
ern Tennessee Medical Center in
Winchester and Emerald-Hodgson
Hospital in Sewanee, serving as a
member of the board of trustees,
chief of medicine, vice chief and
chief of staff. From 2000 until now,
she was active on the board

University Responds to Flu Outbreak
Approximately 80 undergraduate
students have reported symptoms of
the flu since Pre-Orientation began
three weeks ago, according to the
University’s website. The University
is treating the outbreak as part of the
H1N1 virus, or swine flu, reported
at colleges and schools across the
country in recent weeks.
The actual number of active cases
on campus is lower than 80, as several students have returned home to
recover from their symptoms, which
typically last about four days. Most
of the students who had the flu have
recovered.
“Our first priority is to have students return home if that is feasible,”
said Dean of Students Eric Hartman.
“The best way to limit the outbreak
is to remove people who have symptoms from the general population
until they are able to return. If a visit
home is not possible, then we want
to try to provide a place where students can recover and we can protect
others.”
Students with flu symptoms who
could not return home and have single rooms have stayed in their rooms.
To accommodate ailing students

Open House for Dr. Diane from page 1 . . .
of directors for the Cumberland
Healthcare Group, serving as its president from 2003 through 2006.
After earning a bachelor of arts
degree and graduating with honors
from the University of Chicago, she
attended the Pritzker School of Medicine. She graduated from Georgetown
University of Medicine with a doctor
of medicine degree in 1982 and completed an internship and residency at
the University of Alabama School of
Primary Medical Care in Huntsville.
Since 2005, Dr. Diane has taken
three medical mission trips to Haiti
with the University’s Outreach Office
to coordinate the medical portions of
the trips. Having retired from private
practice this summer, she plans to
work in Haiti more often and to serve
“locum tenens” (Latin for temporary
stand-in) for various medical practices where needs arise throughout
the United States.
A formal presentation of appreciation will take place at 4 p.m. during
the open house.

who share rooms, the University has
opened a few of its unoccupied rental
houses on campus as temporary
infirmaries.
Dining services has been preparing to-go foods for the ill students,
who are visited several times daily
by members of the residential life
staff. Plenty of liquids and soups are
also being stocked in the temporary
infirmaries, and palliative medications are being provided as needed
by University Health Services.
While testing for H1N1 is not part
of the University protocol, the presence of the flu now, before flu season,
indicates a strong possibility that the
illness is the H1N1 strain, University
Health officials say.
The University’s health protocol
was mailed to parents and distributed
to all faculty, staff and students prior
to the beginning of the academic
year as a way of encouraging people
to exercise preventive measures and
healthy life choices, as well as providing information about the treatment
of flu-like illnesses, including H1N1.
University Health Services expects to receive flu vaccines by
mid-September. The shot will cost
$20. For more information go to the
Health Services page on the University website: <www.sewanee.edu/
health/healthservices> and click on
the link to vaccinations. The H1N1
vaccine will be offered when it becomes available.
There have been no confirmed
cases of swine flu at St. Andrew’sSewanee School. The Franklin County
Health Department has had no reports of flu outbreaks.
TAKE PRECAUTIONS
Take basic precautions to reduce the potential for exposure to
viruses:
* Avoid contact with individuals
who have been diagnosed with the
flu.
* Wash hands frequently with
soap and water or a hand sanitizer.
Hand sanitizer and signs encouraging its frequent use are prominently
displayed in public areas on the
University campus.
* People with flu-like symptoms
are advised to isolate themselves until
they have been without a fever for 24
hours without medication.

ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
Abbo’s Alley, one of Sewanee’s favorite woodland retreats, was set
aside by University Trustees in the late 19th century as a permanent
parkland. For many years this place remained in its original state—
a wooded ravine garden.
In the early 1940s Professor Abbott C. Martin of the English department began refining the area, using students who sought work-study
income, some volunteers and even German prisoners of war from
nearby Tullahoma. The “Alley” was named for “Abbo.”
Today, as in the past, virtually all of the maintenance in the Alley is
done by students and volunteers. Supplies, equipment and replacement
trees are provided by generous contributions of Friends of Abbo’s Alley.
BECOME A FRIEND OF
ABBO’S ALLEY
Yes, Abbo’s Alley is a wonderful treasure and an asset to all of Sewanee, and I want to join the Friends
of Abbo’s Alley to help continue its maintenance.
Individual or family memberships are just $25.00.

Use common sense and wait a half
hour or so for more daylight before
you head down the mountain, and
use lights.
I’m watching for you, but the next
car isn’t. Riding down the mountain
is exhilarating. Peeling you off the
front of a car or truck is completely
avoidable. Don’t ruin both our lives

YOUR GHOST ENCOUNTERS
WANTED
To the Editor:
Call me crazy, but I am writing to
ask the community to send to me any
ghost stories you may have about our
area. I have been working on a book
for two years and have collected stories
of sightings in 71 places, most of them
University buildings. I would love to
have more stories from other places
on and off the Domain.
So far I have recorded encounters at
the Cloisters, St. Mary’s Road, a house
off Garnertown, Pearl’s, the Rainbow
Girls’ Camp area, Mi Casa, the Cowan
highway and maybe Shenanigans. I
have heard that places like the Castle
on Natural Bridge Road are haunted
but have no specific stories. Some of
you may have stories from your experience working at the University, too.
If you have encountered a ghost
on the Mountain and are willing to
share your story, please let me know.
E-mail me at <sewaneeanne@gmail

leave a message.

Positive Behavior Support, Athlete
Drug Testing and School Bus Routes
Discussed by F.C. School Board
At its Aug. 13 meeting, the Franklin County School Board learned how
a new Positive Behavior Support
(PBS) Acknowledgment System will
be implemented in all district schools
from kindergarten through 12th
grade. Board members discussed
possible changes in the Drug Testing
of Student Athletes and Cheerleaders
Policy on first reading. Director of
Schools Rebecca Sharber told the
board she recently learned that for
the past 20 years, school buses have
brought children from outside the
F.C. zone into the district’s schools.
The new PBS program is provided by the state of Tennessee for
free. Sharber said, “Franklin County
schools will be the only district in the
state to implement this in all schools.”
Educational specialists from Middle
Tennessee State University will come
to the schools to train teachers to use
positive reinforcement to encourage
students’ good behavior; teachers will
also learn conflict resolution, social
problem solving and anger management to be able to teach these skills to
their students. Examples of good behavior and problem behavior will be
defined carefully, so that students understand how to conduct themselves
appropriately in different school
environments: classrooms, hallways,
the cafeteria and physical education
classes. Students will receive verbal
praise or “thank you” tickets when
staff members see them behaving
respectfully, safely or responsibly; You can add to the colorful canopy of peace cranes now flying in duPont Library.

“Around
the Square”
Celebrates
Winchester’s 200th
The book “Around the Square”
was researched and written by the
Winchester Historic Preservation
Committee in commemoration
of Winchester’s bicentennial. The
city was founded on Nov. 22, 1809.
“Around the Square” is a history of
the businesses around the public
square and on both sides of the first
block of First Avenue Northwest, including the E.L. Collins Building.
The book is the result of a fouryear collaboration by the members
of the Winchester Historic Preservation Committee, a citizen committee
appointed by the mayor in August
2002.
In addition to preserving the history of downtown Winchester, the
book provides useful information
for its future development. The committee hopes that citizens will enjoy
learning about the buildings and
byways of earlier times, meeting yesterday’s merchants and professional
people and visualizing life from 1809
to the present.
This soft-cover, indexed, 468-page
book includes five maps and 90
photographs. It may be purchased at
Winchester City Hall, 7 South High
St., Winchester, TN 37398, for $30 or
$35 if mailed. The hardcover edition
may be ordered from now until Oct.
1, 2009, for $60 or $65 if mailed. After
Oct. 1, the hardcover book will not be
available due to the cost of binding.
Checks should be written to the
City of Winchester. Individuals who
wish to reserve a copy of the book,
available on Oct. 1, may pay Teena
Waggoner in advance at Winchester
City Hall.

Positive Behavior, Drug Testing, Bus Routes,
Discussed by F.C. School Bd. from page 7 . . .
applied to the state to secure the new
program, after teachers and administrators start using the PBS techniques, disciplinary referrals should
decrease. Terrill said, “Too many
students are being sent to principals’
offices and to the alternative school.
This new program is going to help all
teachers and administrators. Teachers
who cannot manage classrooms well
enough will be trained to learn how.
The goal is to teach children how to
behave well instead of just punishing
their bad behavior.” He said that some
students genuinely do not understand why they are being punished
because they have not learned how
to behave in acceptable ways. Parents
can play an important role by telling
their children that they support the
new program, and schools will offer
parents opportunities to participate
as volunteers.
After approving 13 board policies
on their second reading, members
discussed possible changes in the
Drug Testing of Student Athletes
and Cheerleaders Policy (6.3072) on
its first reading. Board members did
not agree on whether to change the
“three strikes and you’re out” policy
on testing student athletes for illegal
drugs to “two strikes and you’re out.”
Some members want to change the
rule to “two positive drug test results
throughout grades six through eight,”
causing the student’s suspension
from participating in athletics until
grade nine. The current policy says
that those who are suspended in
junior high (and their parents) must
request permission from the high
school principal and applicable coach
to participate in high school athletics. Member Chris Guess suggested
that a new section be added to the
beginning of this policy: “Integrity
of Process: Any F.C. school employee
or volunteer found to jeopardize the
integrity of the drug-testing process
should be appropriately disciplined
with the possibility of suspension or
termination from coaching.” Board
members will discuss all of these
issues and the rest of the policy covering high school student athletes
at their regular September meeting.
For all F.C. students the district has
a zero tolerance policy for offenses
at school involving firearms, illegal
drugs and battery. To see the entire
Code of Behavior and Discipline,
see <http://franklincountyschools.

there are significant additions to the
code’s Section XI—Acceptable Use
Policy: Computer and Internet Use.
Director Sharber said she recently
learned that “for the past 20 years,
school buses have brought children
from outside the F.C. zone into the
district’s schools; some parents were
aware and some were not aware that
their children were not eligible to
attend F.C. schools.” She has been
working closely with Ellis Counts,
transportation/safety director, to
clarify the district’s boundaries and
to make sure that these problems are
resolved as soon as possible. Families
outside the district whose children
have been attending F.C. schools may
continue to send their children to
F.C. schools during this school year.
Also, if the administration learns that
students living within the F.C. zone
are riding school buses to and from
schools that are not their designated
schools, those students will need to
attend their designated schools as
of the 2010–11 year, or their parents
will have to provide transportation
to other schools. The Scheduling and
Routing Policy (3.401) says,“Students
who ride school buses shall attend the
school designated unless the Board
designates an alternate school. If a
parent chooses to send his/her child
to another school in the system, the
parent must provide transportation
to and from that school.” The board
passed a motion asking Sharber to
continue to work with parents on
a case-by-case basis. Parents may
phone Sharber or Counts (not board
members) to work out exceptions
for the current school year. Sharber
assured the board that by the start of
the 2010–11 school year, the district’s
boundaries will be clarified.

Gov. Bredesen Announces
Recovery Act Funding for Monteagle
Wastewater System
Governor Phil Bredesen and Department of Environment and Conservation Commissioner Jim Fyke
recently announced a $6.2 million
low-interest loan for Monteagle in
Grundy, Marion and Franklin counties.
The loan, funded through a combination of the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the
State Revolving Fund loan program,
will pay for a wastewater construction
project. Forty percent of the funding
is in the form of principal forgiveness,
which does not have to be repaid.
Monteagle will receive $6.2 million to replace its two existing 250,000
gallon-per-day wastewater treatment
plants with a new 500,000 gallonper-day sequencing batch reactor
wastewater treatment plant and to
replace the old clay pipe collection
system with a new small-diameter,
low-pressure, conventional gravity
collection system. This project will
be funded through a 20-year, $3.72
million loan with an interest rate of
1.79 percent and $2.48 million in
principal forgiveness that will not
have to be repaid.
The Tennessee General Assembly
supported statutory changes allowing
the debt forgiveness provision, which
was required to receive Recovery Act
funding from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency through the State
Revolving Fund program. Senators
Andy Berke and Eric Stewart and
Representatives Bill Harmon and
George Fraley represent Monteagle
in the General Assembly.
Additional information about
the State Revolving Fund Loan Program can be found at <www.tn.gov/

FCHS Student Volunteers at
Animal Harbor
It’s hard to tell who is the most
excited to have the newest volunteers
at Animal Harbor—the staff, who
enjoy the enthusiasm these young
people bring to the shelter, the dogs
and cats, who already look for their
new friends, or the new volunteers
themselves. The four Franklin County
High School students pictured above,
accompanied by their teacher, go to
the Animal Harbor daily as part of
their work-based training, to help
socialize cats and dogs.
“It is already apparent that Mary
Ann, Megan, Jonathan, and John are
exemplary in their work with the
homeless animals here,” commented
Sarah Doyi, executive director of the
Franklin County Humane Society.
“The Franklin County Humane Society is honored to have these young
people as part of the Animal Harbor
family, and appreciate the opportunity to work with Franklin County
Schools again.”

Harbor, please call 962-4472.

SAS Football Defeats Mt. Juliet Christian
The SAS Mountain Lion football
team won a hard-fought, evenly
matched game with region rival Mt.
Juliet Christian Academy (MJCA)
Saints, 16-13, before a boisterous
home crowd on a sun-splashed Friday
afternoon, Sept. 4.
Emmanuel Gabaud started the
scoring for SAS with a 30-yard touchdown run on a quarterback keep,
and Donta Oden bulled in for the
two-point conversion. Moe Andreiev
recovered a MJCA fumble in the end
zone for a safety to put the Mountain
Lions up by 10. The Saints came back
in the second quarter to score on a
long pass, yet the two-point try failed.
SAS ended the first half with a strong
goal line stand and the score 10-6.
Kicking off to start the second
half, the Mountain Lion defense prevailed. SAS then churned down the
field, capped by a 29-yard touchdown
run by freshman Edwin Ashcraft.
The try for two failed, and the Saints
responded with another scoring drive
of their own to end the third quarter
16-13.
The final 12 minutes became a
defensive struggle with the Mountain
Lions hanging tough. Three interceptions keyed the defense as Rocky
Reid, Gabaud and Seth Morris all
had picks.
SAS Girls’ Varsity Soccer Report
On Sept. 1, the St. Andrew’sSewanee girls’ varsity soccer team
fought to a draw with Middle Tennessee Christian School (MTCS). On
Sept. 3, the girls lost a close match at
home to Warren County. The team is
2-1-1 for the season.
Twelve minutes into the MTCS
match, senior captain Hannah Barry,
off a corner from sophomore Allyson
Ridley, beat MTCS’s goalkeeper to the
ball, laid the ball back to Ridley, who
then found classmate Sadie Shackelford for the first goal of the match.
Despite the early goal, SAS struggled
to find their rhythm. Then with only
two minutes remaining in the match,
MTCS tied the score.
On Sept. 3, the team lost a heartbreaking match to Warren County
2-1. During the first half of the match
both teams fought hard to control
play, but entered halftime scoreless.
Twenty minutes into the second half,
Warren County struck. Ten minutes
later, SAS’s senior captain Zoe Petropoulos split Warren County’s defense
with a through ball to Ridley, who
slotted home the equalizing goal.
Both teams continued to create new
scoring opportunities, and with five
minutes remaining Warren County
scored the game-winning goal.
“We did a much better job of
playing as a unit,” commented Coach
Margot Burns. “We hope to build on
the intensity we showed in the last 10
minutes of the match and continue
to improve.”

Tiger Cross Country Takes Eighth in
Sewanee Fall Invitational
Sewanee hosted the Sewanee Fall
Cross Country Invitational Sept. 5,
and 13 teams competed at the Sewanee Golf Course in the 5k women’s
course and the 8k men’s course.
For both the men and women,
Sewanee finished in eighth place of
11 teams. Mississippi State led the
pack for both races.
“I thought we raced very well
with good times for our first race
of the year. With some hard work
this team should reach individual
and personal goals by the end of the
year,” commented head coach Jeff
Heitzenrater.
Chris Hague (Kensington, Md.)
was the top male runner for the
Tigers with a 14th place 27:09, followed by Andrew Jolley (Morristown,
Tenn.), who had a 28:54, while Mitzi
Harrington (Warner, N.H.) led the
Sewanee women’s effort with a personal best 20:52 (34th place). Senior
Kendra Tippens (Winston, Ga.)
logged a 21:37, also.
The Tigers had two runners (John
Gilmer and Lelia Weber) suffer injuries mid-race and have several other
runners with preventative injuries.
The Tigers will compete next at the
Vanderbilt Invitational on Sept. 19.
Sewanee Men’s Soccer Season Opens
The Sewanee men’s soccer team
opened its 2009 season at the Birmingham-Southern Invitational
last weekend, and after a 3-0 loss to
Mississippi College, rallied for a 6-0
shutout of Blackburn College.
Tiger Field Hockey
Falls to Hendrix
Sewanee’s field hockey team
opened its 2009 season at Hendrix
College in Conway, Ark., on Sept. 5,
and the host Warriors topped the
visiting Tigers 2-0.
Hendrix led 1-0 at the halftime
intermission and sealed the final 2-0
score in the second period.
Hendrix outshot Sewanee 17-14,
while Sewanee took seven penalty
corners compared to five for the Warriors. Emily Detmer (Denver, Colo.)
played all 70 minutes in goal for the
Tigers and logged five saves. Newcomer Cameron Herndon (WinstonSalem, N.C.) led the Tiger offensive
effort with five shots, but none found
its mark.
Sewanee is 0-1 and will host Transylvania and Centre this weekend.
Jackson Gannaway (Collierville,
Tenn.) and Garrett Schlosser (Nashville) led the Sewanee effort on
Sunday with two goals each. Matt
Lightfoot (Germantown, Tenn.) and
senior Henry Kiser (Marietta, Ga.)
chipped in one goal each. Lightfoot
also assisted on two goals. Matt Hale
(Ft. Worth, Texas) and Chris Grover
(Collierville, Tenn.) split time in the
goal for Sewanee to earn the time
out.
Lightfoot’s goal was first blood
for the Tigers, followed by two more
quick goals by Schlosser—all in the
first 10 minutes of play. Kiser and
Gannaway took the tally to 5-0 in favor of Sewanee before the break, and
then Gannaway added some more
insurance with Sewanee’s sixth goal
in the 49th minute.
Sewanee dominated field play
as a team as well, outshooting the
Beavers 32-4. The Tigers earned six
corner kicks compared to just one
for Blackburn.
Sewanee is now at .500 with a 1-1
record and will host the annual Kyle
Rote Jr. Invitational this weekend and
will face off against Emory & Henry
and Washington and Lee.

Seeds for the Spirit
Celebrates
10 Years
Nature Notes
Local Skunks on the Move
Last week, Freddy and Tibby Tucker’s little dog encountered a skunk
at their bird feeder and got sprayed. Even Freddy got some of the scent on
him. The dog got very sick, and a veterinarian was phoned for advice. He
advised bathing the dog in soapy water mixed with hydrogen peroxide.
This procedure was effective after many hours. Both the dog and Freddy
are okay now.
Many skunks are now wandering out of dens in Sewanee, according
to Harry Yeatman. They like to raid garbage cans, but don’t spray unless
frightened or attacked. Skunks become a problem to households, but can
be caught in live traps such as Havahart, and released in the woods far
from houses. To move the skunk in a live trap, slowly drape an old raincoat
over the trap bearing the animal so as not to excite it.
Years ago Harry and Jean Yeatman were called to deal with a skunk
trapped in a large garbage can. They cautiously put the can lid on and
successfully moved the skunk to Hat Rock for release. The couple has also
live-trapped and removed a skunk from a neighbor’s clothes closet.
Besides the Striped Skunk, a rarer Little Spotted Skunk occurs in Sewanee. It is small, but with a “short” temper. Nevertheless, the Yeatmans
successfully removed some from under their house.
Pest-removal businesses charge much money to remove skunks—up
to $100. Try removing skunks yourselves, Harry encourages. The experience can be exciting and sometimes odoriferous.
Skunks make good pets, even those that have not had their scent
glands removed. The Yeatmans have had many pet
skunks. They brought the
skunk they named Nicodemus to Sewanee in the fall of
1950 to meet the Sewanee Tiger (photo at left and below).
Nicodemus loved to follow his
owners in Abbo’s Alley. Finally
he was returned to the “wild”
at University Farm.
F.C. Humane Society Pets of the Week
Meet Daisy & Bob
The Franklin County Humane
Society’s Animal Harbor offers these
two delightful pets for adoption.
Daisy is a pretty Lab mix who
loves kids and wants to be a part of
a family. She has a heart of gold and
a lot of love to give to the family who
takes her home. Daisy is up to date on
shots and spayed.
Fluffy Bob is an extraordinary
lap kitty. If there is a lap available, he
will be on it. Bob is negative for FeLV
and FIV, house-trained, up to date on
shots and neutered.
The super sale continues at Animal Harbor. Take advantage of these
sizzlin’ summer savings on adult
cats now: two for the price of one or
50 percent off the adoption fee for a
single cat. Call Animal Harbor at 9624472 for information and check out
their other pets at <www.fchumane
.petfinder.com>.
Please help the Humane Society
continue to save abandoned pets by
sending your donations to the Franklin County Humane Society, P. O. Box
187, Winchester, TN 37398. Shop
their eBay site at <http://tinyurl.

Thanks to the generosity of the
Mountain community, our feathered
friends still make regular visits to
the windows of the residents of the
Bridge at Monteagle (formerly Monteagle Care and Rehabilitation).
Seeds for the Spirit, an outreach
ministry launched 10 years ago at St.
James Episcopal Church in Midway,
continues to this day. Initial donations were used to purchase feeders
and sunflower seed. A group of loyal
volunteers work on a rotating schedule to keep the 60-plus feeders filled.
As this is an ongoing effort, your help
is needed to ensure that the project
has a future.
Contributions may be made in
honor or memory of a friend or loved
one, with the recipient receiving an
announcement of your gift—$10
to celebrate the ministry’s 10 years
would be most helpful. Please send
donations to: “Seeds for the Spirit,” St.
James Episcopal Church, P.O. Box 336,
Sewanee, TN 37375. Checks should
be made payable to the church. Please
provide a name and address if a gift
announcement is to be sent. Call
Juanita Barry at 598-5804 for further
information or to volunteer.

EVENTS
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed.
And every fair from fair sometimes declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest,
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st.
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
