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.

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.

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. This is a reminder that someone else is standing guard and facing fire for us.

Letters 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?

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.

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.

Garrett Hollingsworth led Sewanee with 18 points, and Andrew Little was also in double digits with 13 points. Tony Marelle had five assists from the point guard position. The Centre men’s basketball team hosted Sewanee Sunday, Jan. 10, afternoon in Danville, Ky., and stopped visiting Sewanee 71-36 after leading 36-8 at the half.

Sewanee is now 3-10 and 0-5 in the SCAC and will play at SouthwestLauren Gulley ern and Trinity this weekend. her. She battled hard in both games and played, by far, her best game of the season against Centre.” The Sewanee women’s basketball team played SCAC ball at DePauw in Greencastle Jan. 7, and the host DePauw Tigers topped the visiting purple Tigers, 99-64, after leading 52-26 at the half. It was the 43rd straight win at home for national power DePauw. Senior Kelly Morrison led Sewanee’s offensive drive with 13 points, while Christina Johnson and Lauren Gulley were in double digits with 11 and 10 points. Franklin County’s Gulley Named Tiger of the Week Winchester native and Sewanee women’s basketball player Lauren Gulley has been named Tiger of the Week for her play the weekend of Jan. 8–10. Sewanee took tough losses to SCAC foes DePauw on Friday, Jan. 8, and Centre on Sunday, Jan. 10. On the trip Gulley averaged 16.5 points per game, including an impressive 23-point outing for a season high in Sunday’s game. She leads the Tigers so far this year with a 12.8-pointsper-game average. “I was very proud of Lauren’s effort this weekend on the road,” said coach Dickie McCarthy. “She was giving up about four inches to the post players at both DePauw and Centre, but she didn’t let that deter Sewanee’s Aymett Qualifies for Junior Olympics Skip Aymett of the Sewanee Fencing Club qualified for the National Junior Olympics in epee, to be held Feb. 13 in Memphis. On Jan. 9 at the Tennessee Divisional Qualifiers held at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Aymett placed second to a former teammate, the tall and talented Chase Schoelkopf of Memphis University School, with a 15-13 score in the finals. Dale Sweeney of the Sewanee club remarked, “Matches between teammates who know your style intimately are always tricky, and Schoelkopf was fighting hard to advance in rating. He is definitely a rising star, and we hope we can get him to come to Sewanee.” Women’s Basketball Drops Two SAS Varsity Wresting: Hannah Barry Brings Home Gold Sewanee wrapped up a weekend on the road Sunday, Jan. 10, with an SCAC loss to Centre in Danville, Ky.

Photo by Bob Hoagland 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.” State Park Event Sunday, Jan. 17 SLIDE SHOW—Meet Ranger George at the Savage Gulf ranger station at 3 p.m. for an informative and beautiful slideshow on Savage Gulf/ Stone Door.

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. DAY Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun F.C.

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.
