South Cumberland
Chamber of Commerce
Welcomes New Director
by Leslie Lytle, Messenger Staff Writer
“My ultimate goal is to raise the
community’s standard of living,” said
John Payne, the new executive director
of the South Cumberland Chamber
of Commerce.
Payne, who took office on Jan. 9,
will look to the strategic plan drafted
in 2016 for guidance. Top on initiatives
called for by the plan was changing
the name of the organization from
the Monteagle Mountain Chamber
of Commerce to the South Cumberland Chamber of Commerce. The
name change reflects the chamber’s
intention to broaden its service area
and adopt an all-encompassing strategy for economic development.
“Located in three counties, MonJohn Payne
teagle is the gateway to a number
of other communities on the plateau,” Payne said. The new website lists the
chamber’s service area as Monteagle, Sewanee, Tracy City, Coalmont, Altamont,
Beersheba Springs, Gruetli-Laager, Pelham and Palmer.
Payne sees the challenges facing the chamber as the same challenges the
community faces. “As is typical in small communities confronted with limited
resources and lack of funding, our most talented young people grow up and
move away. Our task is to provide opportunities to keep them here.”
Payne brings a wealth of experience to the role of chamber executive director. During the course of the past 45 years, his career
(Continued on page 6)
Warm and drizzly winter weather
cloaked the community potluck dinner on Jan. 15 at the American Legion
Hall in Sewanee, which welcomed two
Lakota Sioux families entrenched in
the Stand at Standing Rock.
All tables were full with between 75
and 100 people taking part in the event
that boasted plenty of drink and food,
such as rabbit and smoked sausage
with rice, pizza, venison chili and kale
salad. And like the food, the gathering
had a feel of merging cultures.
Isaac Weston is one of the heads
of camp at Oceti Sakowin near where
Energy Transfer Partners plans to
construct the Dakota Access Pipeline
under the Missouri River. Weston sat
by himself before the program began,
quiet, withdrawn, getting ready to be
the main speaker of the evening.
Oceti Sakowin has been Weston’s
home since August and being in a
warm bed while in Sewanee was a nice
change from sleeping on a cot in a teepee amongst at least four feet of snow

and brutally cold temperatures. Protestors prefer the term “water protectors” and Weston said the resistance
effort has changed him.
“That’s when the beginning of my
new life started,” he said. “I was going
to help revitalize the Lakota language
but instead I stepped into this fight.
It’s something that is calling me and
something I’m going to keep doing.”
Weston planned to teach the Lakota language to children on the Pine
Ridge Reservation before joining the
effort to halt the pipeline from crossing the river the Lakota call “The Big
Muddy.”
Opponents say the potential for
an oil leak threatens the water supply for not only the Standing Rock
Indian Reservation, but for millions
of people, including other tribes and
reservations further downstream. Energy Transfer Partners and supporters
say the pipeline is safe, legal and critical
for the nation’s energy needs.
As legal challenges loom and a
change in the presidential administration raises questions about the future,
the disputed section of the 1,171-mile
crude oil pipeline remains in limbo
after the Army Corps of Engineers
ordered construction to halt in favor
of more study.
Approximately 800 people remain
at the camp, Weston noted, and they
are currently relocating the campsite
about a mile south onto the Standing Rock Reservation itself, in part
because the current site is in a floodplain threatened by mounds of snow.
The new camp will be self-sustaining
with features such as solar energy and
compost toilets, he added.
Frank Bullhead, Isaac’s father-inlaw, said that a renewed drive for green
energy is a major result of the stand
against the pipeline. Bullhead lives in
Standing Rock about 25 miles south
of Oceti Sakowin. He said after leaving
Sewanee, he and family members plan
to visit Seattle and Arizona, continuing

School
Board
Revises
Internet Use
Policy
by Leslie Lytle
Messenger Staff Writer
At the Jan. 9 meeting at Clark
Memorial Elementary School, the
Franklin County School Board approved a revised internet use policy.
At the December meeting, Sewanee
school board representative Adam
Tucker expressed concern the Internet Use Policy recommended by the
Tennessee School Board Association
was “overly broad.” Tucker drafted a
revised policy more specific in terms
of permitted and proper social networking by school district employees
both during school hours and nonschool hours.
In keeping with school systemwide policies already in place, the revised policy prohibits internet activity
which constitutes discrimination or
harassment of students or other employees, as well as prohibiting internet
activity which violates confidentiality
as defi ned by the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act. The policy
also prohibits employees from posting as representatives of the school
system unless authorized to do so by
the director of schools or the director’s
designee and discourages employees
from engaging with students on social
networking sites.
Regarding internet use during
school hours, the policy prohibits
social networking on school computers except for instructional purposes
and prohibits social networking on
personal devices during school hours
except during breaks.
Board Chairman CleiJo Walker
praised the revised policy for sett ing

The American Spiritual Ensemble
(ASE) was founded in 1995 by Everett
McCorvey, professor of voice and
director of opera at the University
of Kentucky. McCorvey and César
Leal, conductor of the Sewanee Symphony Orchestra (SSO) and assistant
professor of music, are longtime
friends and colleagues. The visit by the
ASE takes place as part of the SSO’s
30th anniversary celebration.
Leal and McCorvey met at the
University of Kentucky when Leal
was appointed assistant conductor
for the UK opera; Leal has considered
McCorvey a mentor ever since. “He
was extremely supportive and offered
constant feedback,” said Leal. “Our
collaborations helped me refine my
conducting technique.”
Leal introduced McCorvey and
the ASE to the International Sacred
Music Festival in Quito, Ecuador, in
which the ASE has now participated
several times. “For the last few years,
Everett McCorvey and I have had the
idea of having an artistic residence in
Sewanee,” said Leal. “I am thrilled our
musical paths will now intersect in Sewanee; I know this collaboration will
enhance the musical life on campus.”

Academy
for Lifelong
Learning
Join The Academy for Lifelong
Learning (ALLL) at St. Mary’s Sewanee at noon, Thursday, Feb. 9. Retired University of the South professor
John Reishman will be the speaker.
Reishman’s talk will cover the three
Pre-Raphaelite painters who founded
the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in
London, in 1838. They are Dante
Gabriel Rossetti, William Holman
Hunt and John Everett Millais. These
painters were reacting to what they
regarded as a lull in English artistic
achievements, which they believed
resulted from a slavish dependence on
the standards of the Royal Academy
and its enthusiasm for Raphael, Michelangelo, Titian and other masters
of the High Renaissance. They were
determined to revive English painting and to make art once again a force
in British culture. It promises to be a
fascinating talk.
Reishman began his career at the
University of the South in 1969. He
retired last spring, completing 47 years
of teaching. He and his wife Claire,
a very accomplished art teacher and
potter, live in Sewanee.
The ALLL meets monthly, generally on the second Thursday, at noon,
for one hour. Speakers are invited
to share a wide variety of topics and
there is always time for questions and
answers. The membership fee for the
Academy is $12 per year or $2 per

Obituaries
Houston Bryan Roberson
Houston Bryan Roberson, professor of history, passed away shortly
before Christmas. A special light
went out for Sewanee with the passing
of this deeply loved colleague, teacher,
and friend—a man of quiet demeanor
but tremendous strength, who influenced for good all who were fortunate
enough to know him.
Houston grew up in Stuart, Va., a
small town in mountainous country
not unlike this part of Tennessee;
he was the son of the late Ralph and
Madelene Roberson, and one of seven
siblings. He attended Patrick County
High School, where he is still remembered with affection and admiration
by some of his teachers. He received a
B.A. from Mars Hill College, an M.A.
from Wake Forest University, and a
PhD in history from the University
of North Carolina. Before starting his
graduate work at UNC, he taught
history for many years at Chapel Hill
High School; he never lost his love for
the city and its people, and it is impossible to exaggerate his inf luence on
students and his fellow teachers there
or how much they admired him as a
person and teacher.
Coming to Sewanee in 1997, Houston was the first African-American
to be appointed a full-time member
of the College faculty. He brought the
study of race and of African American
history to Sewanee in unprecedented
and historic ways, contributing as
he did so to profound change in the
university’s curriculum as a whole.
He was a personal mentor and friend
to many students, especially–but
certainly not only–the college’s growing numbers of African-American
students. He was an accomplished
scholar, widely admired for his work
on the history of African American
religions and Civil Rights in the U.S.
His fi rst book was “Fighting the Good
Fight: The Story of Dexter Avenue
King Memorial Baptist Church, 18651977” (2005). In 2014, he co-authored
“Witness: Two Hundred Years of Faith
and Practice at the Abyssinian Baptist
Church of Harlem, New York;” it was
a source of special pleasure to him
that one of his co-authors was Genna
Rae MacNeil, his former advisor, who
has movingly described him as “a free
man with a pure spirit.” In 2002 he
co-authored with Rhonda Y. Williams,
“Teaching the American Civil Rights
Movement: Freedom’s Bittersweet
Song.”
Especially valuable to Sewanee was
Houston’s short essay, “The Problem
of the Twentieth Century: Sewanee,
Race and Race Relations,” published
in the University’s sesquicentennial
volume, Sewanee: Perspectives on the
History of the University of the South
(2009); this was the fi rst piece of written scholarship to address directly
and forthrightly the history of race
on campus and in the Sewanee community. Houston was an invaluable
colleague: insightful, constructive,
deeply conscientious, and profoundly
committed to the History Department’s goals and those of the University at this formative stage in its history.
His generosity of spirit, understanding
of people, courage, and wisdom will
continue to animate discussions in
the department, the college, and the
university, and will resonate for many
decades among hundreds of friends,
colleagues, former students, and members of the family he loved so much.
Houston was preceded in death
by his parents, Ralph and Madelene
Roberson, and by a brother Mitchell
W. Tatum. He leaves behind to cherish
his memory a brother Elder Dr. Larry
D. Tatum (Iris), of Cleveland, Ohio;
four sisters, Elaine Thomas (Charlie),
the Rev. Sheila Thomas (Albert),
of Stuart, Va., Teresa K. Roberson
and Dr. Olivia R. Givens (Kem), both
of Charlotte, N.C., along with a host
of nieces, nephews, great-nieces and
great-nephews for whose futures he
cherished the greatest of hopes.
A memorial will be held in Sewanee
later in the semester.

Standing Rock (from page 1)
Payne (from page 1)
to share the message of protecting
water.
“Th is water fight is for your sons,
your grandsons, for them and their
future,” he said prior to the event.
“We’re fighting for your auntie, your
sister and their kids, so we will have a
better quality of water.”
When the event began, Weston
shared stories of Lakota history and
prophecy, saying that the gathering
of the seven Sioux tribes to stop the
snake that is the pipeline was foretold
centuries ago. Weston wrote a song in
Lakota for those at camp and translated lyrics include: “Protectors of the
Earth take courage, future generations
depend on you.”
Family members also danced in full
regalia for those in attendance and Rochelle Bullhead, Frank’s wife, spoke,
becoming emotional as she talked
about her willingness to die for a just
cause, and her willingness to give her
life to protect not only the Sioux people
but the people in the room.
Her husband also spoke to the
crowd and told how an officer shot him
in the back with a rubber bullet while
he was protecting Rochelle during
the protests.
Weston said the gathering of the
tribes at Standing Rock is a wake-up
call that Western ways aren’t working
for Native Americans, where life is
bleak on reservations and suicide rates
are high. The gathering of tribes at
Standing Rock is a call to return to the
old ways for Native Americans, he said.

said she attended the potluck event

about Standing Rock.

“The only test scores were from high school level subjects that give end

from the previous year so it was difficult to make comparisons. Last academic

BOOKMARKED
A Column for Young Adult Readers and
Adults Who Appreciate The Genre
by Margaret Stephens
News and Not
In this most interesting week when we celebrate both Martin Luther
King Jr. and the inauguration of president-elect Trump, I’m drawn back
to some basic reading as counterweight.
First, to an author whose books about growing up black in the Deep
South were groundbreaking when they fi rst appeared in the 70s and 80s:
Mildred Taylor. Do you remember the Logan family of “Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry,” “Let the Circle Be Unbroken,” and the others of the
series? The fi rst book won the Newbery Medal in 1977, and the rest are
covered in honors, including several from the Jane Addams and Coretta
Scott King awards.
The Logans own 400 acres of land in southern Mississippi, bought
during Reconstruction when a white farmer needed money. The books
narrate their efforts to hold on to it and safely raise four children through
the dual hardships of the Great Depression and the racism of their rural
community. Some of this makes for some difficult reading: Taylor based
much of her work on family anecdotes, and there’s no hiding the fact
that segregated schools, hateful language and lynchings are part of our
communal past.
Why read it, then? In part because of how quickly you become attached
to this close-knit family, including hot-headed Cassie, who narrates;
her baby brother Litt le Man, who’s determined to keep his clothes meticulously clean despite the long walk to school along dusty roads; their
father, who takes himself off to work laying railroad track in miserably
hot Louisiana in order to pay the taxes on their cherished land.
I read the book because it’s history. I feel a need to go back to that right
now. To remind myself what the effects of prejudice can be. To see where
we’ve been and how we got there. And here.
Which means I’m doing something even more basic. Don’t laugh, but
I’ve hauled various old history textbooks out of the attic so I can refresh
my understanding of just what our founders had in mind when they came
up with the Constitution and to read for myself what that document actually says. I want a more solid foundation from which to make my own
interpretations of what’s going on out there. I have a friend who has the
discipline to read news from reliable sites across the political spectrum. I
don’t have the patience to do that. But I don’t just want to swallow whole
what I’m being told by anyone.
There are numerous reading lists that popped out after the election
suggesting books to “prepare us for a Trump presidency,” everything from
dystopian novels such as “1984” and “The Handmaid’s Tale” to histories
of totalitarianism or the populist movement. Th is is simply a sampling
of what’s on my personal list.
We reportedly now have a president who doesn’t read much, because
he’s too busy “doing.” I hope that’s one example we don’t follow, but
instead, continue to read to challenge our assumptions with different
points of view. As well as nurture our spirits with some of what our more
thoughtful writers have to offer.

Arrival
PG-13 • 116 minutes
Nominated for two Golden Globes including a best actress nod for
Amy Adams, “Arrival” is a realistic sci-fi movie, focusing on communication and understanding. Adams, who will most certainly earn a Best
Actress Oscar nomination for her role, stars as Louise Banks, a linguistics
expert helping to investigate why 12 alien spacecraft have landed all
around the world. She and her team must fi nd a way to communicate
with the mysterious visitors in order to learn what they want and whether
they pose a threat to humanity. She learns how to communicate with the
visitors—deciphering semi-circular ink blots unbound by what we as
humans think of as past, present or future—while world leaders try to
control, conquer and destroy what they do not understand.
Rated PG-13 for brief strong language, this movie is well suited for all.
Tuesday, Jan. 24, 7 p.m.
Trapped
Documentary • 90 minutes
Please join the Women’s and Gender Studies and the Wick for a
special screening of the award-winning documentary “Trapped” by
Dawn Porter. The fi lm will be followed by a discussion led by a panel
of faculty and students.
U.S. reproductive health clinics are fighting to remain open. Since
2010, 288 laws regulating abortion providers have been passed by state
legislatures. In total, 44 states and the District of Columbia have measures subjecting abortion providers to legal restrictions not imposed on
other medical professionals. Unable to comply with these far-reaching
and medically unnecessary laws, clinics have taken their fight to the
courts.
“Trapped” follows the clinic workers and lawyers who were on the
front lines of the batt le to keep abortion safe and legal for millions
of American women. For more information about this documentary

PG • 91 minutes
Dom DeLuise directs and stars in this comedy. A trio of undercover
government cops in Miami decide that it would be a good idea to open
a bogus fencing operation so they can trap criminals. When the crooks
fi nd out, trouble ensues and the fun begins.
Thursday–Sunday, Jan. 26–29, 7:30 p.m.
Moana
PG • 103 minutes
Walt Disney Animation Studios presents this CG-animated feature
fi lm and the ultimate girl-power story. Moana is the daughter of a chieftain and longs to venture past the reef surrounding their island home.
Such travel has been forbidden. The island and the ocean are slowly dying
because a demigod, Maui, hilariously voiced by Dwayne Johnson, stole
and then lost the stone heart of a goddess.
Moana knows she has to help save her people. The sea entrusts the
heart to Moana, and she sets out on an daring adventure to fi nd Maui
and restore the heart to the goddess. Come for the adventure but stay
for the crab Tamatoa, voiced by Jemaine Clement.
The movie is rated PG for peril, some scary images and brief thematic
elements.
Zanele Muholi: “Faces and
Phases” at UAG
The University Art Gallery
presents the work of renowned
South African artist activist
Zanele Muholi in a selection
of 22 photographs from her
series “Faces and Phases,” a
series of dignified portrait photographs of black South Africans who identify as LGBTI.
Shown together, these portraits
of individuals represent and
build community. Muholi is
a visual activist. In collaboration with her sitters, she uses
photography to combat the oppression of a group whose existence had been excluded from
South African history, even
10 years after Apartheid. The
people represented in Muholi’s
portraits choose to be visible,
empowered and themselves.
They invite us to see and know
them, and thereby resist the
fear and erasure threatened by
the prejudices, hate and brutal
violence too often directed at Jamilla Jade Madingwane, White City, Soweto,

win on Jan. 14 over Hendersonville
Christian Academy, 50–30.
The team dedicated the game to
Reid Ward, a former SAS basketball
player from the class of 1998 who
passed away earlier this month. Reid
was a force on the boards, averaging
more than 10 rebounds a game.
“I told our team about Reid and
the pride he took in rebounding,” said
head coach Rob Zeitler. “The guys
made it their goal to dominate the
boards this game and they did, grabbing 43 rebounds; Emmanuel Thombs
had a season high 13. I am proud of the
way this team honored Reid.”
On offense, Thombs led the Mountain Lions with 12 points; Kenneth
Thomas added 10; Jaylen Tillman
posted eight points and nine rebounds;
Blaise Zeitler chimed in with seven
points and six rebounds; Larson
Heitzenrater added five points and six
rebounds; John Grammer had four

scored three; and Joe McDonough
added one point.
The win moved SAS to 8-7 (2-0).

Valley High School, 42–31. Thomas
led the Mountain Lions with nine
points; Tillman added nine points;
Thombs scored seven; Grammer and
Zeitler had six points each; and Heitzenrater had five.

Host St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School fi nished sixth in combined score, eighth
in girls’ swimming and fi ft h in the boys’ division amongst a field of 17 teams at
the annual Snowball Invitational swim meet on Jan. 14.
A number of SAS swimmers excelled with school records and qualifying
swims. Randy Paul, in his fi rst meet of the season, had an impressive day setting new school records in the 50 fly (25.96 seconds) and the 50 backstroke
(26.71). Paul also qualified for state in both the 50 freestyle (23.52) and 100
freestyle (52.95).
Catherine Gray narrowly missed the state cut in the 200 individual medley
with a time of 2:33.00 (a new school record) and in the 100 backstroke with a
time of 1:07.92.
Jack Haight made a regional cut in the 50 freestyle with a time of 27.44
seconds and Sarah Beth Hobby also made regionals in the 100 breaststroke
with a personal best time of 1:28.65.
Sam Smith also missed a state cut in the 100 breaststroke by a narrow margin,

“We are very proud of our athletes who have qualified to extend their season.
Hopefully, we will add more into that group before the season is over,” said
coach Jake Miller.
SAS Upsets Monteagle in
Conference Tournament
The seventh-seeded St. Andrew’sSewanee boys’ middle school basketball team rallied to sting the two-seeded Monteagle Elementary Hornets on
Jan. 14 to advance to the semifi nals in
the Big 8 conference tournament.
Monteagle hit a three just before
the fi nal buzzer but it wasn’t enough
as the Mountain Lions (4–12) prevailed 26–24 at Grundy County High
School.
Nathan King led SAS in scoring
with 10 points; followed by Cameron
Harmon with nine; Sean Willis with
three; amd Payton Zeitler and Ethan
Hargis added two each. Zeitler’s defense, including drawing three charging fouls, led SAS to the win.
King also played tough the entire
game despite an injured heel. Cam
Weaver played enforcer in the blocks
and Harmon played inspired and
physical on the offensive interior.
Hargis came off the bench and cooly
handled business to provide much
needed breaks for Sean Willis, who
hustled everywhere and contributed
to the stifl ing defense.
The team now faces Pelham in
the semifi nals today (Friday) at 5:15
p.m. at Grundy County High School
and will play in the championship or
consolation game on Saturday, Jan. 21.
Prior to the tournament, the Mountain Lions won Jan. 12 at home against
Coalmont, 29–19. King led all scorers
with 13; followed by Zeitler with eight;
Willis had four; and Weaver and Harmon scored two each.

Pileated Woodpecker
Woodpeckers
Among the birds that are with us in the winter are the woodpeckers.
They seem to be active and noticeable whatever the weather. The largest
is the Pileated Woodpecker, with a red crest, black body, and white wing
patches in fl ight. It is often seen foraging for carpenter ants on fallen logs
or low on dead trees, making large holes. I consider us blessed to live in
a place where they are a common sight.
Another largish woodpecker that feeds on ants, though it forages on
the ground, is the Northern Flicker. It has a smallish red crescent on the
back of its neck and noticeable white rump and yellow underwings in
fl ight. The next three are smaller yet and similar in size-the Red-headed,
the Red-bellied and the Hairy.
We don’t seem to have as many Red-headed Woodpeckers as we
once did. They are the “iconic” woodpecker, with an all-red head and
striking black and white body and prefer open, park-like woodlands.
The Red-bellied Woodpecker also has a large patch of red on the back
of its head and one would be hard put to see the pinkish area on its belly
that gives it its name.
In my part of the woods, if a woodpecker is carrying on and making a lot of noise, it is the Red-bellied. The Hairy is hard to distinguish
from the much smaller Downy, unless they are seen together. They both
have a white patch on the back, white underparts, and barred black and
white wings. Adult males have a small red patch on the back of the head.
Downys are much more common, so when in doubt, that is a good guess.
Finally, only in winter, you may see the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (yes,
there really is a bird with that name!) at your suet feeder. It is somewhat
similar in appearance to the Downy and the Hairy. And it is indeed the
bird that leaves rings of small holes in the trunks of trees, feeding on the
sap and on insects attracted to the sap.

population. Meet at Snowden Hall to
caravan to the site of the walk, which

Pets of the Week
Meet Maison and Snyder
Animal Harbor offers these two delightful pets for adoption.
Fluff y Maison has a beautiful personality to match her fabulous appearance!
She loves to jump around, batting at strings and toys all while being absolutely
adorable. Maison is an adventurous, cuddly kitt y just waiting to meet you. She
is negative for FeLV and FIV, house-trained, up-to-date on shots, and microchipped, and she will be spayed before she goes to her new home.
Snyder is a lively, playful puppy who gently approaches new situations with
curiosity. Once he is sure he’s safe, he bounds ahead happy as can be! He is
a goofy, lovable guy who really wants to cuddle and play with you. Snyder is
heartworm-negative, up-to-date on shots, microchipped and neutered.
Animal Harbor offers substantial adoption fee discounts for veterans and
seniors. Every Friday is Black Friday at Animal Harbor. On Fridays, adoption
fees will be reduced 50 percent for black or mostly black pets more than 4
months old who have been at Animal Harbor for more than a month. Pets
adopted from Animal Harbor qualify for a free post-adoption wellness exam
by local veterinarians.
Animal Harbor is located at 56 Nor-Nan Road, off AEDC Road, in Winchester. Call Animal Harbor at 962-4472 for information and check out the
other pets at <www.animalharbor.org>. Enter the drawing on this site for
a free spay or neuter for one of your pets. Help Animal Harbor continue to
