perspectives of ethnic, socioeconomic
and cultural minorities. Community

account of attending the inauguration of Barack Obama, sworn in as
the nation’s first African-American
president on Jan. 20, 2009. Josephine
serves as a Cowan alderperson, the
first African-American woman to
hold the position.
Student talent will highlight the
performance segment of the pro-
gram, featuring the gospel choir
Sewanee Praise. Kristin Whitely,
president of the African American Alliance, will serve as moderator for the
festivities. The evening will culminate
in a group sing-along.
In its 25th year, this high-energy,
inspirational commemoration of King
is co-sponsored by the Universityaffiliated African American Alliance
and Office of Multi-Cultural Affairs
and by the Cumberland Center for
Justice and Peace. For more information contact Leslie Lytle at 598-9979

Gov. Bredesen Announces Grants for
Sewanee Airport
Governor Phil Bredesen announced recently that aeronautics
grants totaling $314,442 have been
approved for the University of the
South’s Sewanee-Franklin County
Airport.
“Our local airports are vital to the
economy and travel system of Tennessee,” said Bredesen. “Investing in our
airports helps keep them competitive
and efficient at meeting the needs of
businesses and travelers. I’m pleased
to support continued improvement at
the University of the South-Franklin
County Airport.”
Funds from these aeronautics
grants will be used for airfield pavement maintenance, a rotating beacon
and tower, parking lot improvements
and approach clearing.
The grants are made available
through the Tennessee Department
of Transportation’s Aeronautics
Division. Ronald Cooper, chair of
the Tennessee Aeronautics Commission, a five-member board charged
with policy planning and regulating
changes in the state airport system
plan, explained, “These grants can
have a significant impact on the
future of a general aviation airport
and its economic contributions to our
state. Our board carefully reviews all
applications for grant funds to ensure
that the proper state and local matching funds are in place and that the
grants will be put to good use.”
State Senator Eric Stewart and
Representative George Fraley helped
secure these funds for airport.
EfM to Host National Theological
Conference Webcast, Registration
Deadline Friday
“Building an Ethical Economy:
Theology and the Marketplace,” a live
webcast of Trinity Institute’s 40th annual national theological conference,
will be held Jan. 27–29 at the School
of Theology. Hosted by the Education for Ministry (EfM) program,
the conference will bring together
leading theologians and economists
to talk about the relationship between
economics and Christian belief and action; understand why financial systems
sometimes become belief systems
rather than neutral mechanisms for
exchange; discuss constructive alternatives to present models of economics
and consumerism; and envision ways
to build an economy that is both ethical and just.
Conference participation is open
to persons of all faith traditions.
Registration forms are available at
the EfM website, <www.sewanee
.edu/EFM>, and at the Education
for Ministry office at the School of
Theology on Tennessee Avenue. The
registration fee of $30 covers conference materials, lunches and snacks.
Please contact Kathryn Bruce at 5981775 of <kgbruce@sewanee.edu> for
more information. Deadline to register
is Jan. 15.
Scheduled to appear are Rowan
Williams, the 104th Archbishop of
Canterbury and head of the Anglican
Communion; Sir Partha Dasgupta,
professor of economics, University
of Cambridge, and Kathryn Tanner,
professor of theology, University of
Chicago Divinity School. Registered
participants will explore the role theology has in an ethical economy through
interactive reflection groups led by
trained EfM mentors.

Longtime SAS Administrators
Chamberlain and Reishman to Retire
In October, both George Chamberlain, assistant head of school for
student affairs at St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School, and Claire Reishman,
assistant head of school for academic
affairs, announced their intention to
retire from administrative duties at
the end of this academic year.
Chamberlain, who has been at
SAS for 27 years, will continue his
association with the school as a parttime English teacher. Reishman, who
is marking her 40th year at SAS, will
also continue teaching on a part-time
basis and will remain director of
Shakerag Workshops, the SAS summer program for adults.
“I have been so thankful to George
and Claire for putting off their longplanned retirements until after I
could get acclimated at SAS,” said
the Rev. John Thomas, who assumed
the head of school position in 2008,
following the retirement of the Rev.
William S. Wade. “Over the years,

forged the very mission and vision
of the school. I am pleased that their
part-time status next year will allow
them the relaxation that they both so
deserve, while giving the school the
benefit of two experienced classroom
teachers and sage advisors.”
Plans to celebrate the lives and
contributions of Chamberlain and
Reishman are underway and will
be announced to the community as
they develop.
“While leadership transitions
bring challenges, they also present
opportunity,” said Thomas. “I am
comforted that we will face these
challenges and embrace these opportunities with an internal administrative team that, even without
George and Claire, embodies more
than 41 years of combined experience at SAS.”
The search to fill these positions has yielded an unprecedented
number of applications, which are
currently being evaluated.

Serving Where
Called
Six years ago this column began 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 sending 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.

SEWANEE CHIC IN URBAN
CHICKEN DEBATE
To the Editor:
During a recent visit with Marymor “Boo” Cravens, I listened with
great interest about the lively debate
of the past year over the matter of
whether chickens should be allowed
to reside in the environs of Sewanee.
The same discussion is evolving
in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of
Washington, D.C. The D.C. Council is
being petitioned by some residents
to allow these avian pets as a means
to augment a growing interest in
better living through organic community gardens and cooperative
farm shares.
As with the earlier debate in Sewanee, similar opinions have been
voiced. The comparison of noise
levels is perhaps the most prominent
in Capitol Hill community e-mail
discussion. Whereas in Sewanee
the sounds of chickens clucking
and cooing were compared to loud
and boisterous students over party
weekends, the comparisons in the
Capitol Hill debate tend to lean more
to urban circumstances—primarily
sirens, buses and gunshots. The one
issue that seems universally agreed
upon in Sewanee and the District
of Columbia is that roosters NOT be
allowed under any circumstances. Is
this discrimination?
Should Sewanee, with its leading
role on this issue, send an experienced mediation team to help?

4) THE SEWANEE MOUNTAIN MESSENGER Thursday, January 14, 2010
Church News
Otey Memorial Parish
On the Second Sunday of Epiphany, Jan. 17, Otey Memorial Parish will
celebrate the Holy Eucharist at the
8:50 and 11 a.m. services.
Between services the Sunday
school hour will offer Godly Play
for children, levels 1-3. Adult classes
include: the Lectionary Class, coordinated by Pete Trenchi, studying
John 2:1-11; Adult Forum, led by
David Bowman and Brown Patterson, discussing the Gulf Restoration
Network.
New classes offered are: the Listening for My Calling Class, which
considers “Who am I? What are my
gifts? What is my place in this world?”
Led by Julie Murphy (University associate dean of student leadership and
development) and Elizabeth Wilson
(Career Services), space is limited in
this six-week class, so please e-mail
<elwilson5@gmail.com> by Jan. 15
if you would like to participate;
Episcopal 101—What does it
mean to be an Episcopalian? What
is the church’s history? How does the
church work? What are its traditions?
Open to youth and adults, those confirmed and those seeking confirmation, the class is led by the Rev. Joe
Ballard and Youth Coordinator Betty
Carpenter;
The “Nooma” series, a five-week
class open to all youth and their parents, looks at the world from Jesus’s
eyes through a fascinating video
series. It is led by Will Cate.
Nursery care is available from
8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. each Sunday.
Coffee hour follows the second service. Questions? Call Robin ReedSpaulding at 598-5926.
Christ Church, Monteagle
Christ Church, Monteagle, entered
the Epiphany with the annual visit
of the Magi in a wonderful pageant,
albeit in snow this year. Now all who
follow the Christian year go deeper
into a very short season of just a few
weeks of celebration, as Ash Wednesday will come early this year.
At the 10:30 a.m. service on Jan.
17, the themes of Epiphany will be
set forth, along with singing some of
the great hymns written for Epiphany.
Lunch is always served following the
morning service, and fellowship goes
on into the afternoon so that the winter days of slowly growing minutes of
light can been enjoyed, rather than
just being endured.
The prayers of all people of faith
are requested for the annual meeting of the Endorsers with the Armed
Forces Chaplains Board taking place
this week in Washington, D.C. From
the American Revolution to the
present, chaplaincy has been a part
of the heritage of the United States.
Chaplains of all faith-traditions provide pastoral care not only for those
serving on duty, but also for their
families. The Veterans Administration (V.A.) also has chaplains, while
encouraging local civilian clergy and
lay people to volunteer and serve our
veterans wherever they may be. Tennessee is fortunate to have several
V.A. hospitals and many clinics.

McCrory Hall on Jan. 29
St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School will
host the Blakemore Trio and composer/soprano Susan Botti on Jan. 29
at 8 p.m. for a free public concert in
McCrory Hall for the Performing Arts.
The program includes compositions
by Shostakovich and Mendelssohn, as
well as a pre-premiere performance
of a new composition by Botti. A
casual conversation with the artists
will begin at 7 p.m.
The Blakemore Trio, a faculty ensemble of the Blair School of Music, is
comprised of violinist Carolyn Huebl,
cellist Felix Wang and pianist Amy
Dorfman. A portion of Botti’s “Gates
of Silence,” which was commissioned
by the Trio, will be performed in
preparation for its actual premiere
in Nashville in February and a subsequent performance at the Kaufman
Center in New York City in March. The
commission is a part of an ongoing
project titled “The Blair Commissions: Music for the 21st Century.”
“Gates of Silence” is a set of three
compositions: “Lament: The Fallen
City” for violin and piano; “The
Journey without Her” for piano trio;
and “Dido Refuses to Speak” for piano
trio and soprano, with text by Linda
Gregerson, National Book Award
finalist, and Caroline Walker Bynum,
Distinguished University Professor at
the University of Michigan. Inspired
by Virgil’s “Aeneid,” each composition
is connected by experiences of loss,
renewal, hope and continuation.

SAS MS Boys’ Basketball Wins One,
Loses One
The Mountain Lion middle school
boys’ basketball team hosted Coalmont on Jan. 4 and avenged an earlier
loss, winning by a score of 37-17.
Coach Bill Seavey reports that the
boys played good defense and worked
the ball to the open spots well on
offense. Will Thomas led all scorers
with 26, while Casey Willis had seven,
and Kyle Johnston and Jake Wiley
posted two each.
Later in the week SAS hosted
Swiss, the leading team in the Big-8
this year. In an earlier meeting, Swiss
had beat SAS by nearly 30 points.
This time the Mountain Lions were
ready.
“We controlled the tempo well by
preventing their fast break offense.
They still have a decent half-court
offense, but it slowed them down a bit.
Their full-court press was also something we anticipated and practiced.
“Swiss held a strong lead at halftime, but by the middle of the third
quarter SAS had worked it down to a
six-point game, and Swiss had to call
a time-out.
“Suddenly their press came to life,
we lost focus for about two minutes,
and they ran away with the game, but
at least this time it was a close game,
and we felt good about threatening
them,” reports Seavey.
Thomas had eight points for SAS,
followed by Johnston, with six, who
played an amazing defensive game;
Andrew Heitzenrater also had six,
and Willis chipped in two.
Dylan Cleek led Swiss with 16
and Kasey Brown had 10 for the
43-22 win.
SAS Girls’ Varsity Basketball Report
The St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School
girls’ basketball team lost to University School of Nashville Tuesday night
67-38, despite leading 15-14 after the
first quarter.
Hannah Barry finished the night
with five points, 10 rebounds and
three assists; Sadie Shackelford
totaled seven points and eight rebounds; Avery Shackelford tallied
nine points, eight rebounds and three
assists; Allyson Ridley contributed
nine rebounds and three steals; Michaela Shackelford scored 17 points
and pulled down five rebounds; and
Meredith Earwood pulled down three
rebounds.
“We out-rebounded USN and we
shot it well from behind the arc, but
transition defense and turnovers were
the difference tonight,” said coach
Grover Levy. “Also, they shot 30 free
throws to our nine, so we have to fig-
ure out a way to even things out at the
line. We have two more region games
this week, and it’s imperative that we
put this one behind us and get ready
for Webb and St. Cecilia.”

Nature Notes
Weather
Sewanee Winter Birds: Nests and Feed
The recent snow here made bird feeding and bird-watching very
interesting, even if we are house-bound, comments Harry Yeatman.
The Yeatmans have counted over a dozen different kinds of birds in
their yard, and some of these are very numerous.
Protection from cold, snow, rain and enemies is necessary for all
birds. Woodpeckers, Nuthatches, Titmice, Chickadees, Bluebirds and
wrens survive best by hiding in woodpecker holes in trees, birdhouse
boxes and gourds. Carolina Chickadees peck their own nesting and
roosting holes
in rotted trees. If
not many holes
are available,
some birds crowd
into a small hole
where some birds
at the bottom
of the pile may
smother; however, holes are the
best protection
from cold winter
snows.
The non-holeliving birds seek
b u s hy - l e a f e d
shrubs such
as Boxwoods,
prickly-leafed
Holly and even
Cedar trees for
protection from
the elements.
Crows, owls and hawks seek pines, cedars and other evergreen trees.
Some hawks always migrate southward, but some individuals stay here
in Sewanee year-round. Broad-winged Hawks migrate in large groups
to northern South America, even as far as Ecuador.
Food availability is as important as environmental protection. Many
birds secure insects, insect eggs, spiders and tree buds and sap exposed
by Sapsuckers. They scratch in dry leaves for beetles, worms, grain, etc.
People have attracted birds in their yards with foods. Juncos, Doves,
Brown Thrasher, various sparrows, Cardinals and even Crows and
Grackles prefer cracked corn, wheat and millet that is scattered on the
ground rather than in bird feeders. Titmice, Nuthatches, Goldfinches,
Purple Finches and various Woodpeckers are common feeders on manmade hanging feeders filled with black sunflower seed. Woodpeckers—
Pileated, Red-bellied, Red-headed, Downy and Hairy—Flickers and
Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers are frequent suet eaters from cages attached
to trees. Robins, Mockingbirds and Cedar Waxwings dine on berries
of shrubbery such as Nandina, holly, privet, etc. Water is needed by
birds, and running streams are often available and free from freezing.
Birdbaths are useful for birds, but usually freeze in winter. Harry’s tip
is to fill the birdbath half full of water; when it freezes pour hot water
over the ice, throw it out and replace the ice with water.
Enjoy watching the birds this winter. Some birds are here only in
winter, some in summer, and some are permanent residents. Protect
and feed them.

Week’s Stats
Avg max temp= 22
Avg min temp= 09
Avg temp= 12
Total Precipitation= 0.05”
Reported by
Nicole Nunley
Forestry Technician
23, 2009, passing through Wisconsin,
Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama before reaching their current
rest stop in Georgia. The duration of
the migration is unknown because
the ultralights’ ability to fly with the
birds depends on the weather.
Each fall pilots from Operation
Migration lead a new generation of
whooping cranes to their wintering
grounds in Florida. Unaided, these
same cranes will fly back to the upper
Midwest this spring with the other 65
members of their flock. Operation
Migration is a founding partner of
the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership, an international coalition of
public and private groups conducting this project, now in its ninth
year of working to reintroduce this
endangered species to eastern North
America.
These majestic birds, the tallest in
North America, will grow to an adult
height of 5 feet; they have white bodies, black wing tips and red crowns on
their heads. Whooping cranes were
named for their loud and penetrating unison calls; they live and breed
in wetland areas, where they feed on
crabs, clams, frogs and seeds.
In the 1940s, whooping cranes
were on the verge of extinction. Today
about 500 birds exist, 350 of them in
the wild, including the 85 cranes in
the Wisconsin–Florida migration.
“I hope all Americans appreciate this monumental and inspiring
project to save this species for future
generations,” said Cindy Dohner,
director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service’s Southeast Region.

Death is the broom
I take in my hands
To sweep the world
Clean.
I sweep and I sweep
Then mop and I mop.
I dip my broom in blood,
My mop in blood—
And blame you for this,
Because you are there,
Enemy.
