A few common interests are evident in the works of these artists,
including memory, identity and
experience of the natural world.
These six artists use their work to
explore open-ended questions. The
word “wherefore” serves as a question, introduces answers and is a
synonym for “reason.” The artists
chose this title because “‘wherefore,’
by definition, functions as both the
question and the purpose, just as our
work does.”

TOWARD BUILDING BETTER
COMMUNICATIONS
To the Editor:
I was thrilled to note that a main
agenda item at last month’s Community Council meeting revolved around
communication, and I was sorry I was
unable to attend.
I was relieved to read that general
community members may request to
be added to an emergency/weather
distribution list that is sent from the
University. Safety should always come
before all else. And while I would
certainly endorse a manager-free
internet bulletin board, similar to the
University classifieds system but open
to all, I will continue to do my best to
keep the community informed via the
Community E-mail Service until we
find something better.
Currently, the system posts Sewanee Police notices, emergency
and weather alerts, nonprofit and
University event information (as it is
sent to the service), along with major
community news (and the slew of lost
and found animals).
I do hope to move toward a more
open bulletin board type mechanism
in the near future using a moderated
news group approach, allowing for
a broader range of posted information—not quite “manager free” but
much easier to maintain.
For event postings and announcements, you may send them directly
to the community e-mail, <com
[email protected]>. Anyone may join
the current 300 members by sending a
request to the above e-mail address.
Please note that if you already
receive the University Classifieds, it
would most likely be redundant for
you. Again, a manager-free system
would be remarkable.
One final note, to avoid potential
scheduling conflicts and until that
time where we as an entire community can discern a way to have an
overall all-encompassing internet
calendar, an excellent comprehensive
overview can be found on the back
page of the Messenger.

ENDORSEMENT FOR KNOLL
To the Editor:
I, also, would like to recommend
that members of the Sewanee community vote to re-elect Arthur Knoll
to the County Commission (District
5, Seat B.)
Sewanee is a community whose
very reason to be is centered on
providing education for the next
generation. We all have a stake in
the well-being of the public schools
of Franklin County. Public schools
in Tennessee are governed by a local school board, except that school
boards do not control the allocation
of local taxes for public education—
this is in the hands of the County
Commission.
I’m very pleased that Arthur has
been able to serve on the School
Committee of the County Commission. Arthur’s experience as a lifetime
educator (professor of history at the
University, until his recent retirement) proves that his service on
the County Commission (and on
its School Committee) must be very
valuable as these bodies deal with
issues related to the public schools
in Franklin County.
I believe that a vote for Arthur
Knoll is a way that we can support
the cause of better public schools for
Franklin County.

ENDORSES MORRIS FOR
NEW DIRECTION
To the Editor:
I am writing in support of Rocky
Morris for the county commission
seat currently held by Arthur Knoll
[District 5, Seat B]. Rocky has been
active in our community and knows
the county well, having lived and
worked both on and off the Mountain.
Most importantly, Rocky will
support public education in Franklin
County. The incumbent, Dr. Knoll, has
not, having actively worked against
adequate funding of our school system for the past four years.
Franklin County schools rank
in the bottom 3 percent nationally
in funding per student. Tennessee
state government is shifting more
of the funding burden to our county
because of our capacity to generate
tax revenue. Yet, the current county
commission has ignored the needs
of our schools.
It’s time for a new direction.
Please vote for Rocky Morris in the
Democratic primary election.

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.
This is a reminder that someone
else is standing guard and facing
fire for us. Please keep the following individuals, their families and
all those who fight for freedom in
your prayers:

Johnny Hughes Seeks Re-Election to
County Commission
“I want to thank the voters of
the 5th District who four years ago
put their trust in me to serve you.
It has been a privilege for me to be
your representative on the County
Commission [Seat A]. I would like to
ask for your vote in the Democratic
Primary on May 4th,” announced
Johnny Hughes of Sewanee.
Hughes has announced some of
his goals for the next four years. “I
think one of the big weaknesses in
this county is the lack of communication between our elected and
appointed people.
“I want all of us to sit down
together—commissioners, road
commissioners, school board members, mayor, etc., and come up with
clear-cut plans to move our county
forward. Even if we disagree, we need
to communicate.”
On taxes, Hughes comments, “I
will never say I will not vote for a tax
increase, but what I will say is that
I will go over the budget and try to
eliminate anything I consider to be
a waste of taxpayer money before I
vote for one.”
Education, highways and law enforcement are things that will always
need to be worked on, according
to Hughes. “In the next four years I
would like to see a vocational school
put on the old high school site; I
would like to see emergency communications improved in the Sherwood
area; I would like to be able to get
water to the people in Keith Springs,”
Hughes adds.
“I want to continue to work with
the other commissioners to build a
better relationship between Sewanee
and the rest of the county,” according
to Hughes. “Sewanee is perceived as
being only a University town, and,
although the University of the South
is a big asset and part of Sewanee and
the county, I want the people to realize
that we have places like Midway, the
Jump-Off community, Garnertown
area, etc., that are not on the University domain and really need and
deserve the county support.”
In closing, Hughes promises the
people of the 5th District—Sewanee,
Sherwood and Keith Springs, “I will
continue to work hard for you. I owe
it to you.”

Two Die in Car Fire on Mountain
While on patrol on Saturday, April
10, Franklin County sheriff ’s office
deputies discovered a vehicle fire on
U.S. 41A (locally called the Cowan
Road) at the top of the Mountain. In
a report filed by Deputy Doug Seals,
Seals stated that he found the vehicle,
a 2002 Nissan Extera, fully engulfed
in flames. Investigators from the
sheriff ’s office and the state fire
marshall’s bomb and arson section
were able to determine at the scene
that two females had in fact died in
the vehicle while it burned.
Sewanee Police Chief Robert
White reported to the community
via e-mail April 10 that “around 1

p.m. the Sewanee Police and Fire responded to a vehicle fire at the picnic
table pull off on 41A at the top of the
Mountain. Upon extinguishing the
fire two bodies were discovered inside
the vehicle. There’s no evidence at this
time that connects the vehicle or the
unidentified victims with the University or Sewanee community. ... If
anyone passed this location between
12 and 1 p.m. today [April 10] and
observed ‘any’ activity please contact
me at 581-3104 or 598-1111.You may
also contact Sheriff Tim Fuller at

Bell at (931) 308-9416.”
On Sunday, April 11, Franklin
County sheriff ’s office investigators,
in conjunction with the state fire
marshall’s bomb and arson squad, determined that the vehicle in question
was registered to Valerie Gooden of
Nashville. Law enforcement officials
also determined that Gooden had a
7-year-old daughter.
Investigators are still awaiting
positive identification of the bodies
from the state medical examiner’s
office. At press time, investigators
are treating this investigation as a
homicide.

Civic Association Adopts Mission Statement, New Fees,
Schedule; Hears Local Outreach to Haiti Report—
Challenging Hopelessness
At the April 5 meeting of the
Sewanee Civic Association the membership voted to adopt the following
Community Chest mission statement: “The purpose of the Sewanee
Community Chest campaign is to
raise funds for local organizations
that serve the common good. An
important function of the campaign
is to minimize the need for excessive
area fund-raising by many groups;
therefore, organizations receiving
funds are expected to acknowledge
support from the Community Chest
in other Sewanee fund-raising efforts.”
The membership also approved a
proposal for reorganizing the meeting and membership structure of the
Civic Association. By the new plan,
the group will hold four meetings per
year: September, November, February
and April. Dues will be $5 per year,
with a per meeting meal fee for those
who wish to dine. Meeting dates other
than the first Monday and different
venues are being considered, as well
as serving wine, for a fee.
“We will move from our historic
eight dinner meetings per year to
four: September and November/
February and April. Membership
will drop from $60 per person to
$5, and meals will cost the same for
everyone,” commented association
president Elizabeth Duncan.“A more
dining-friendly venue is sought,
and additional information will be
forthcoming over the next several
months.
“We will offer three vibrant programs in addition to the Community
Service Award meeting, and it is my
hope to see many more community
members from all our various sectors come and join us, especially
those who receive Community Chest
funding,” Duncan said. Suggestions
for programs and speakers are always
encouraged and welcomed, <edun
[email protected]>.
The harsh and difficult challenges posed by poverty-stricken
and earthquake-devastated Haiti for
medical missionaries were shared by
Sewanee residents Sandy and Bruce
Baird, D.D.S, and local contractor Bill
Mauzy. Sewanee Outreach, a University program headed up by Dixon
Myers, sponsors the annual medical
mission trip to Haiti; the Bairds and
Mauzy have been regular participants. They recently returned from
Haiti on the spring break mission
trip.
Sandy Baird offered historical,
geographic, and demographic context
to the circumstances in Haiti. Haiti
shares the island of Dominica with
the Dominican Republic. Mountainous Haiti receives very little rainfall
because the clouds rising to cross the
mountains drop their moisture on the
Dominican side of the island.
In 1804 the sugar plantation
workers revolted and killed all the
white landowners. In the years that
followed, vast numbers of trees were
cut for use as cooking fuel, and the
island’s topsoil literally ran into the
ocean. Farming, the primary livelihood of most of the inhabitants,
became even less productive in the
arid country.
Haiti is the poorest nation in the
western hemisphere and relies almost
entirely on aid to survive. The only
exports are sugarcane and the rum
made from the cane. In much of the
country there is no electricity, and
only half the residents have clean
drinking water, a circumstance exacerbated by the recent earthquake.
Haiti has an 80 percent unemployment rate, a 50 percent illiteracy rate,
and 65 percent of the population is
undernourished (the frequent spectacle of orange hair signifies protein
deficiency). The average lifespan of
Haitians is 49.5 years.
In stressing the need for the
medical mission trip, Sandy Baird
noted that in Haiti there are only
three physicians and one dentist for
every 10,000 people (compared to 26
physicians and 16 dentists for every
10,000 Americans).
Bruce Baird and Bill Mauzy presented a slide show chronicling
their experience. The random destructiveness of the earthquake was
painfully obvious, with the remnants
of destroyed buildings next to unaffected buildings. In the capital city
of Port-au-Prince, children played
basketball on a court next to the
ruins of a technical school beneath
which 30 students were buried. One
slide showed the national palace still
in a state of ruin two months after
the quake. The outreach group saw
no relief workers and no large equipment clearing debris; instead, men
chipped away at the concrete ruins
with sledgehammers, dismantling
the rubble by hand.
The medical mission group was
assisted by six Haitian translators
and 17 student volunteers from the
University. Originally 21 students

signed up for the trip, and while
the earthquake deterred a few prospective volunteers, most remained
steadfast in their commitment.
The mission group was based in
the village of Montrouis. They expected to lodge in tents, but local residents
gave up space in the few remaining
buildings to the volunteers.
The volunteers worked in temperatures in the high 90s in squalid
quarters with no ventilation, usually no electricity, and sometimes
no water. Haiti has an HIV rate of six
percent, the highest in the western
hemisphere. Due to risk of infection,
the volunteers “suited up” in caps and
gloves in spite of the heat.
In the remnants of an old clinic,
dentist Baird spent long, painful
hours bent over a dental chair locked
in the lowest position. Contractor
Mauzy learned to pull teeth. Student
volunteers performed triage, assessing whether people who came for
treatment needed medical or dental
care and prioritizing them according
to the severity of their ailments.
Other members of the medical
mission group included Outreach
coordinator Dixon Myers, his wife the
Rev. Annwn Myers, and physicians
Diane Petrilla and Matt Baird (son
of Bruce and Sandy).
The mission volunteers pulled 150
teeth and treated 500 patients. They
focused their efforts at St. Vincent’s
Orphanage, the only institution in
the country serving handicapped
children. St. Vincent’s facilities were
destroyed during the earthquake.
Most of the St. Vincent’s children are
blind and/or deaf; many suffer from
thalidomide birth defects.
The local priest oversaw the volunteers’ efforts. By the priest’s decision, on the first day, they saw only
children from the orphanage, while
on the second day they saw people
from the town. Over the objections
of the volunteers, the priest insisted
the town people pay 16 cents for
treatment. The priest explained that
charging made the experience more
meaningful for those who received
medical and dental care.
Haitians “only know how to ask
for things,” Bruce Baird observed, a
consequence of the long-standing
desperation of a country that cannot
support itself. In addition to health
care needs, the volunteers also aided
in resolving problems related to the
limited water supply. Mauzy hopes to
return next spring to replace scaleclogged galvanized pipes impeding
the flow of water.
A Haitian man raised at St. Vincent’s Orphanage may visit Sewanee
this summer to help increase awareness about the country’s special
needs. Joseph “Jo Jo” Jean Paul has no
arms and legs, but he is a gifted artist
who holds his brush in his teeth. Jo Jo
counts himself blessed, since by his
example he gives the children of St.
Vincent’s hope. For more information about Sewanee Outreach and
the Haiti medical mission contact
Myers at 598-1156 or <dmyers@
sewanee.edu>.
At the May 3 dinner meeting, the
Civic Association will celebrate the
organizations’ leaders and the Community Service Award recipient for
2010. The award ceremony will be
held at Otey parish hall, with dinner
at 6:30 p.m. and the program beginning at 7 p.m.

Local School Districts to Receive an
Estimated $6.2 Million
A Report from Senator Eric Stewart
Tennessee was named the big
winner in the Race to the Top competition for federal education funds.
The state will receive 500 million dollars in federal money for our schools
as a result of our commitment to
innovation and reform.
Over the next four years, we will
be expected to raise graduation rates,
improve our low-performing schools
and commit to an overall higher
quality of education in Tennessee. We
may see some changes in how some
schools are organized, but our goal
will always be to give our children the
best opportunities for the future.
Of the $500 million in federal
funds, half will go directly to local
school districts. According to state
Department of Education estimates,
local counties will receive: Coffee
County, $612,600; Manchester City
Schools, $202,000; Tullahoma City,
$607,500; Franklin County, $953,200;
Grundy County, $998,000; and Sequatchie County, $647,800.
“But our work in the legislature
went beyond obtaining federal funds,”
Stewart reports. “We had to commit
to some hard decisions affecting our
teachers, and I am especially proud
of an amendment I sponsored to
ensure that public school teachers
would have a voice in determining
how student achievement data will
count toward teacher evaluations.
Our public school teachers are the
foundation of education in Tennessee, and they must have a seat at the
table when we talk about education
reform. Those discussions are ongoing, and I look forward to updating
you on their progress.
“As always, I’m working for you.
Contact me using the information
below with any questions or comments. I look forward to continuing
to serve the 14th District.”
Senator Eric Stewart represents
Franklin, Bledsoe, Coffee, Grundy,
Sequatchie, Van Buren and Warren
counties. Contact him at <sen.eric.

Brownridge to Lecture on “South
Africa: Engine of Change”
On Thursday, April 22, at 4:30 p.m.
in Gailor Auditorium the Rev. Walter
Brownridge will talk about South Africa’s role in the 21st century, “South
Africa: Engine of Change.”
This June, just 16 years after becoming a democracy, South Africa
will host the World Cup, one of the
largest international sporting events,
a first for the country and the continent of Africa. South Africa is the only
nation in Africa with the economic
and political stability to qualify for
such a distinction. In his talk, Brownridge will explore the significance of
South Africa’s role for the continent
and internationally.
Brownridge, associate dean for
community life at the School of
Theology, recently returned from
a visit to South Africa. Prior to his
appointment at Sewanee, he served
in the Diocese of Cape Town, at St.
George’s Cathedral as canon precentor in charge of liturgy and worship
and later as canon pastor responsible
for pastoral care, the Cathedral’s HIV/
AIDS ministry and its participation
in the International Cross of Nails,
a global network involved in the
ministry of justice, peace and reconciliation.
Brownridge’s lecture is sponsored
by the Cumberland Center for Justice
and Peace. For more information
contact Leslie Lytle at 598-9979 or
<[email protected]>.
Instructor Rebecca Gibson cuts off Bob
Burns’s shirttail just after his first solo
flight, an old flight training tradition.
Burns Solos
Sewanee resident Bob Burns flew
solo for his first time on April 6 at
Winchester Airport. Burns has been
taking flight lessons from instructor Rebecca Gibson at the Sewanee/
Franklin County Airport and hopes to
earn his pilot certificate soon.
Burns first got interested in flying
when he was a Boy Scout touring Sewart Air Force Base in Smyrna, Tenn.,
some 55 years ago.
He says,“This activity fulfills a lifelong dream and [I] encourage anyone
interested in flying, young or old, to
call Rebecca and come on out to the
Sewanee Airport and give it a try.”
Priesthood in Our Culture
Pictured at top is a perspective drawing of the site; below is a close-up of the
planned pavilion. See form to contribute on page 16.
Sewanee Business Alliance to Break
Ground for Park
To help beautify the downtown
area of Sewanee, the Sewanee Business Alliance (SBA) is planning a
new pocket park to be constructed
in the vacant lot between the Lemon
Fair and the American Legion. Everyone in the community is invited
to the ground-breaking ceremony
on Monday, April 19, at 4:30 p.m. at
the park site.
The new park will house a wood
and stone pavilion to be used as a
musical venue for festivals, dances,
concerts and more. Brick walkways
and a patio made of personalized
bricks will be built. Bricks can be
purchased as tributes or memorials.
Community members and visitors
will be able to enjoy the park yearround.
The park will cost an estimated
$88,000 to construct and maintain
throughout the years. The University has donated the land and will
maintain the park. “This is real winwin for our community,” says John
Goodson, SBA chairman. “We need
a venue downtown where people can
enjoy themselves, listen to concerts
and have a place to sit outdoors.”
The park will be built from donated funds from the community
and friends of Sewanee. Naming
rights for the park, pavilion, cornerstones, stone benches and bricks are
all available. You can name the park
for a donation of $25,000, name the
pavilion for a donation of $10,000 or
have a personalized cornerstone or
stone bench made for $1,000–$2000.
A limited number of these are available.
Bricks will run from $75 to $250,
depending on their size and number
of characters imprinted. For $50 an
individual’s name can be etched in
stone. Companies can do the same for
$500. Order forms will be available in
the Sewanee Mountain Messenger
office, the Sewanee Purple and at
several of the downtown merchants.
Volunteer opportunities will also
be available for help with the park’s
construction and landscaping. The
park is scheduled for opening this
summer.
This is one of many projects being planned to spruce up Sewanee.
If you are interested in becoming a
donor, visit <www.sewanee.biz>,

e-mail <[email protected]>.
Checks can be mailed to P.O. Box 101,
Sewanee, TN 37375.
The Sewanee Business Alliance
is an informal group of business
owners and leaders in Sewanee who
promote, plan and execute community and business projects to improve
Sewanee’s image and strengthen the
local economy. The SBA’s first successful program was the SHOP SEWANEE
campaign to promote business. The
SBA is funded by community and
personal donations.

On Wednesday, April 21, at 7 p.m.,
the Rev. George Sumner will present
“Road Salt: Indelible Priesthood and
the Culture of our Church and Times,”
in Hargrove Auditorium, Hamilton
Hall, at the School of Theology. All
are welcome to attend.
Sumner’s lecture will address
ordination and leadership by taking
as its point of departure the most
distinctive yet often overlooked
feature of ordination: indelibility—
being ordained for life. While Sumner
wholeheartedly agrees with the Reformation emphasis on the ministry
of the whole people of God, he argues
that we can only understand priesthood if we understand what one is
Green is not a color.
It’s a philosophy.
ordained for. Indelibility provides an
entrée to the question of what sets the
ordained apart.
Sumner is the principal of Wycliffe
College, University of Toronto, where
he teaches missiology. His academic
background is in systematic theology with research interests in the
theology of missions, interreligious
dialogue, Anglicanism and the theology of ordination. He has served in
various pastoral roles as a missionary
teacher in an evangelical Anglican
theological college in Tanzania, as
a pastor on a native reserve and as
a parish priest in a small town. He
serves as a canon to the dioceses of
Toronto and Saskatchewan.

Grundy County Heritage Center
Receives Major Gift
Oliver Jervis, chairman of the
Development Committee for the
Grundy County Historical Society
Heritage Center, recently announced
that the center received a major donation from the family foundation of
Lulu and John Elam of Nashville, the
Restoration Foundation.
Lulu Elam is the granddaughter
of the descendants of the originator
of the site. Her grandfather was E.L.
Hampton, whose career began as
a telegraph operator in Stevenson,
Ala., and who developed into a major
Tennessee coal, banking and real
estate magnate, greatly affecting the
economic, financial and industrial
status of this region of Tennessee.
The Heritage Center is being
developed to enhance knowledge
of the cultural, historical and intellectual background of the region for
the benefit of its inhabitants.
The five historical subjects that
define the focus of the center are the
Chikamaka tribe’s separation from
the Cherokees, and their role in the
Revolutionary War and the Trail of
Tears; the origin of the New South, the
development of the coal industry, its
relationship to the steel industry, and
the progression of mining activities
in the region; the Swiss colony; the
Chautauqua Sunday school movement to Monteagle; and the Highlander Folk School.
Other development plans for the
Heritage Center include the depiction
of the geological and natural history of the region and the Beersheba
Springs story.
Jervis says,“This realization is being achieved, through such generous
gifts as the Restoration Foundation
and Lulu and John Elam, who have
seen the vision of what the Heritage
Center will mean to the region and
people, and have acted on that vision.”

Center at (931) 592-6008 or (931)

The Department of Art and Art
History of the University of the
South announces an exhibition by
senior honors candidate Sam Sanderson. The exhibition is open to the
public through Saturday, April 17, in
the Carlos Gallery of the Nabit Art
Building.
Sanderson will give a public presentation on Friday, April 16, at 5
p.m. in the Nabit Art Building. All
are invited to visit the exhibition and
attend the presentation.
Sanderson was born and raised
in Huntsville, Ala. As a teenager he
spent countless hours at Olde Towne
Coffee Shoppe making conversations with hobos, bohos, computer
programmers and rocket scientists.
His artwork playfully critiques the
current role of digital media through
performance, video, digital photography and sculpture. By imposing
scrollbars on the gallery walls and
using outdated tape cassettes to
quantify a gigabyte, Sam examines
the relationship we have with our
electronic devices.
The Carlos Gallery in the Nabit Art
Building is located at 105 Kennerly
Road. The gallery is open Monday
through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 1–5 p.m.
For more information, contact
Greg Pond, 598-1870 or <art.se

Academy Doubleheader
The St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School
baseball team played Davidson
Academy in a doubleheader on April
6, losing both contests by scores of
22-8 and 19-1.
In the first game, the final score
was not indicative of the close contest
as Albert Tseng pitched well against
a strong opponent. Davidson scored
nine runs in the first inning; SAS
responded by scoring three runs in
the bottom half of the first and left
the bases loaded. Alex Tinsley led off
the bottom of the first with a single
and Sam Howick reached on an error. Swade Mooney then singled to
load the bases. Evan Morris, Justin
Thomas and Will Thomas followed
with RBI singles to cut the score to
9-3 .
Davidson Academy scored a single
run in the second before SAS again
rallied.With one out, Howick doubled
and Mooney had a RBI single. With
two outs, Justin Thomas singled and
Will Thomas followed with an RBI
single. Storm Hill walked to once
again load the bases before Addison
Beene struck out to end the threat.
In the third inning, SAS made a
couple of very good defensive plays
and held Davidson Academy scoreless before SAS scored two additional
runs. With one out, Tinsley walked,
and Howick sent a deep drive to left
field for a two-run home run to make
the score 10-7.
Both teams were held scoreless in
the fourth inning before Davidson
scored twelve runs in the fifth inning.
SAS answered with a single run as
Mooney singled home Tinsley to
conclude the scoring.
In the second contest SAS could
not get anything going as Davidson
took the early lead and never looked
back. For the Mountain Lions, Tinsley
went 2-2 with the lone run scored,
and Howick went 1-2 in the contest.
Tinsley pitched well in relief.

SAS Boys’
Tennis Report
The St. Andrew’s-Sewanee boys’
tennis team fell to 1-4 on Monday,
losing a close match to Franklin Road
Academy 3-4.
The No. 2 doubles team of Seth
Morris and Pledger Schaefer tied the
match after doubles play with their
8-5 win. In singles, Nick Fletcher (No.
4) and Schaefer (No. 5) helped SAS
gather two more wins. Martin Brownridge fought hard at No. 3 singles but
was unable to convert the win.
Early last week, SAS faced a tough
University School of Nashville team
and lost 0-7.
On Thursday, April 8, SAS fell to an
extremely experienced Webb School
of Knoxville team 0-7.
The next day, the boys had opportunities but were unable to capture
key matches against Middle Tennessee Christian School and ultimately
lost 2-5. SAS’s two wins came from
Schaefer at No. 5 singles and the No.
2 doubles team of Schaefer and Morris. Both matches were hard-fought,
ending in an 8-6 result.
SAS’s ninth-graders were successful in their exhibition matches,
as Brownridge and Slater Goodson
each won their singles matches and
then teamed up to win their No. 3
doubles match.
Coach Kelley Black comments,
“The boys have been in a tough position in our last three matches with
our No. 1 player, Diego Perezcano, out
due to a shoulder injury. Each player
has had to play a higher position, facing some very strong opponents. We
have fought hard but must continue
to work on the mental aspect of the
game so we can convert close matches
to wins.”
The SAS boys play Mt. Juliet Christian Academy at home today, April 15,
at 3:30 p.m.
Overtime with Coach Shack
By John Shackelford
One of the great things about being an athlete is seeing all the wonderful places and venues that sports leads you to visit. I have had the
opportunity to play tennis in fabulous resorts, in beautiful settings and
with great friends. Of all of the places I have seen and had the chance to
compete in, one of my favorites is Brook Valley Park, a small, ragged city
park in Jacksonville, N.C. The nets had holes, the court had cracks, and
half of the wind screens had long since blown away.
My wife, Conchie, is from Jacksonville, and when we were dating during
our college days I would visit her family there. She has six other brothers
and sisters, and tennis was a large part of their lives. Conchie’s youngest
brother, Johnny, was just a 10-year-old boy during the first of my visits. We
would go out to this old park and hit the ball for hours. For those couple
of hours I got to be a hero. I was a college player battling with a young
boy who just loved to play tennis. We’d walk back to his house covered in
sweat and stop for a cold drink at the same 7/11 where Conchie had been
taking him since he was old enough to walk. The questions were endless,
but I loved the attention from my young friend.
Johnny grew up, played tennis in high school, and then went on to
Purdue for college. He graduated and joined the army. Life was good. If
this were a tennis match, Johnny would be up a set and a break. Yet, for all
of us, occasionally life bounces like those tennis balls hitting the cracks
on city park courts.
In his mid-twenties, at the peak of physical fitness, Johnny was affected
with schizophrenia. This affects 2.4 million American adults age 18 and
older. It often appears in men in their late teens to early 20s. His life and
his family’s life changed forever. There were Army hospitals, psychiatrists,
an array of prescription drugs, and constant changes to his life. Johnny
doesn’t play tennis anymore, and he goes through good periods and occasionally some bad ones. We see each other no more than once a year
now and often our conversations retreat to remembering those days in
the park when our greatest worry was if we could rally one more time
before we were late for Thanksgiving dinner.
Conchie’s women’s team played a match against Amherst College at
the Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles, Calif., this season and another
against Bowdoin College at Indian Ridge Country Club in Palm Desert,
Calif. There were no cracks on those courts, and the windscreens were
all in place. Men in all-white uniforms delivered ice and water to the cabanas beside our players, but I doubt either of us will ever have the same
impressions as we have of that small park with four courts that we got to
share with Johnny a lifetime ago. Sports have taken many of us to venues
well beyond our means. I often wish it could take me back to Brook Valley
and give Johnny the chance to do it all again.

Nature Notes
Goose Visits, First Hummingbird, Gray Foxes
This month, Jean and Harry Yeatman welcomed a pair of Canada
Geese staying at Lake Eva, near the Jump-Off Road. The female is now
nesting on the ground in a grassy area near the water, while the big male
stands guard, when swimming nearby. To feed on the
grass and clover, the gander
visits the Yeatman pasture and
lake. Sometimes the female
will get off the eggs and, after
covering them with leaves and
down pulled from her breast,
will join the male on the Yeatmans’ pasture. When well fed,
she will return to the nest.
Incubation will begin after
all the eggs are laid, so they
will hatch about the same
time. After 30 to 35 days, the
downy young will hatch and
will follow their parents into
the water and start feeding
on insects, water weeds and
seed. They grow rapidly, but
stay with their parents until
feathered and able to dive and
eventually fly.
Sometimes the young wander away from the adults and are “lost.” The
Yeatmans have rescued two young that were walking along the Jump-Off
Road. They were fed cooked spaghetti (looks like worms!) and pieces
of hard-boiled eggs and insects. They made good pets according to the
Yeatmans, following them in a canoe. They learned to fly and followed
their foster parents, even on the highway. They made friends with the
Yeatmans’ Doberman dog, who protected them. One day Jean took the
dog when she was horseback riding, and, on their return, found that a
coyote had killed one of the geese, so the other was taken to a pond and
released to join other geese.
Pixie and Lew Dozier put up their Hummingbird feeders on Saturday, April 10, and had their first Hummingbird visit of the season. They
also saw an Indigo Bunting on April 9.
Jim Jones continues to have Gray Fox sightings in the yards of Ely’s
Lane in Sewanee. On Thursday night, April 8, and on Sunday night, April
11, he reports seeing Gray Fox. These foxes are much smaller than the
first two Jim reported two and three weeks ago. He wonders if we have
a new family in town?
