PLEASE SPAY OR NEUTER YOUR PETSTo the Editor:

Th ank you all for saving the lives of unwanted, dumped and abandoned dogs/puppies. Your support through fostering , donations, volunteering and general encouragement makes all this possible.

Seventy-eight dogs/puppies were sent by MARC to forever homes up in New England through Great Dog Rescue New England in August 2017.

Although it is wonderful that such cute puppies and dogs get lov ing families, the fact that we had 78 dogs/puppies who needed good homes is a terrible thing. Th ere are way too many dogs/puppies and cats/kitt ens being born and who have to suff er horrible lives just because too many humans, who are supposed to care for and pro-tect other creatures do not. We cannot keep fi nding good homes or allow the suff ering of unwanted litt ers.

Dogs and cats must be spayed or neutered. Please spread the word to everyone you know. Th ere are so many resources for people to get their animals altered. Many organizations have grants to help low-income people. Low cost spay/neuter clinics off er very aff ordable procedures.

Contact M A RC or A nimal A l-liance or Animal Harbor. Any one of them can help or direct you to where you can get these procedures done.

MARC message line to schedule, leave a message: (423) 240-9074

Animal Alliance: (931) 235-9006Animal Harbor: (931) 962-4472Or go to <spaytennessee.org> to

fi nd a low cost spay/neuter clinic or assistance near you.

WAKE UP AMERICATo the Editor:

Used to be that anyone who had long hair and a beard and rode a Har-ley was an outlaw, even though true outlaws comprised only one percent of the motorcycle-riding population.

Likewise, anyone who had served in Vietnam was considered to be a monster, even though true psycho-pathic killers were in short supply over there.

Now, it’s become anything and anyone that favors the Old South is a representative of hatred and bigotry, while true hate-mongers are in the minority.

This illogical nonsense needs to end before it guts our country.

Don Shannonhouse, Monteagle ■

SAFETY ISSUE ON OUR DOORSTEPTo the Editor:

As we worry about those in the path of the latest hurricane, I want to point out a safety issue on Sewanee’s

back doorstep.Once again, the old Alto Road (aka

Roark’s Cove Road) that drops down from Woodlands and twists its way to the valley, has become a hazard to those who must travel it in the dark or on any foggy day. Th e white edging and center lines have worn off . As anyone who’s driven in mountain fog knows, those lines are oft en the only guide to where a road actually is—of particular concern on this road, which runs only feet from the mountain’s steep edge.

I’ve driven it at all hours for more than 20 years, but when one of “those” fogs hit, even I can get disoriented. One night last year, thinking I’d started down the mountain, I discovered I’d actually turned into a Woodlands side lane. (No white lines on that section of road either.) I ended up calling the Sewanee police for an escort down past the fog line. One graciously guided me down, but from his speed, I think he was as unnerved as I was.

When I called the highway depart-ment, I was told that environmental regulations disallow using any other than short-lived water-based paint, and that lining is “very expensive” ($380/mile).

I’d like to point out that if expense trumps safety, we don’t have to have the whole road lined: just the mile or so down to the fog line.

One bad accident on that road, and all att ention will turn to this issue. I’d prefer not to be the driver who goes over the edge. I may not earn a lot at my job, but surely my life is worth more than $380.

Th ank you for your att ention. Margaret Stephens, Decherd ■

SOA Meets Sept. 17

Sewanee Organize and Act (SOA) will meet at 2 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 17, at St. Mark ’s Hall, Otey Parish.Composed of members from Grundy, Franklin and Marion counties, the group was formed in January of this year to champion progressive values and resist a governmental agenda that will take the country backwards.

Working groups have been formed around broad issues, including health care, immigration, env ironment, local politics, education and more. SOA members have made hundreds of phone calls and sent letters and emails to members of Congress. Th ey have arranged meetings with elected representatives, organized town meet-ings and panel discussions, and spon-sor a “Honk for Health Care” rally every Monday evening in Winchester.

As we move toward the upcoming legislative session and, more impor-tantly, the 2018 elections, the group is planning to sponsor an informational panel on state and local government, host debates between candidates, and reach out to partner with other groups that are working toward progressive ends.

SOA follows the Indivisible strate-gy, which is available at <htt ps://www.indivisibleguide.com> and models the values of inclusion, respect and fairness. All are welcome to att end the meeting, join a working group if they wish, and contribute to this important work. For more information, email <sewaneeorganizeandact@gmail .com>.

Alred and Cunningham were among those six who appreciated the eccentric man and his vast array of military vehicles.

“Well, we’ll use the word ‘diff erent,’” Alred said about Bud. “He was reclusive but could be your best friend in the world.”

“He was our best friend,” Cunningham added.Th e Werners were a pioneering and infl uential family in Tracy City, who

operated a coal business and later a large lumber mill. Th e mill at one time employed 75 men, but closed in 1942. Alred said the Werners helped bring water and electricity to Tracy City, as well as a phone co-op now known as Ben Lomand.

Alred, 66, fi rst met Bud and Bud’s dad Sam when he was a litt le kid and Alred’s dad would visit the Werners to purchase parts. Cunningham, 67, also got to know the Werners as a child because his grandfather would hunt with Sam. Cunningham worked for Bud for a year aft er high school.

“Th ey started buying (military) surplus right aft er WWII,” Alred said. “Th ey started buying trucks and truck parts and that’s how they got started. Th en they fi gured out they’d make a litt le money selling surplus and salvage.”

Bud, a Georgia Tech grad, served in the military in Germany from 1956-58. Alred and Cunningham said he loved military history and had a particular fascination with Camp Forrest, a W WII training facility and German intern-ment camp in Tullahoma.

Th ere are a number of items on display from Camp Forrest, including the last U.S. fl ag to fl y there. Th at same display case also includes a map reportedly from the Nazi headquarters known as Kehlsteinhaus, or the “Eagle’s Nest,” where Adolf Hitler and other Th ird Reich leaders met in the German Bavarian Alps.

But the museum’s center pieces may be the four small prototype jeeps, which were designed for the combat glider program in W WII, but never went into production. Th e military was seeking jeeps light enough to go on the engineless aircraft , which allowed for stealth invasions but had many deadly crashes, Alred said.

“Th is is the only place you’re going to see this collection together. Period. Nobody else has them,” Alred said.

Chevrolet built two of the prototypes, he said, and the museum has serial No. 1. Th ey also have one of the 37 that Kaiser built, along with No. 13 of the 16 that Crossley Motors built. Of the six that Willys built, Alred said the museum has the only one still in existence.

Th e Sam H. Werner Museum, at 1148 W. Main Street, is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. A $5 donation is requested, but not required.

“We’re not here to make money. We’re here to save a litt le bit of history,” Alred said. “Giving back and giving a litt le bit of thanks through the display of the vehicles for veterans and families of veterans.”

Alred noted that the museum plans to hold special days for VFW and American Legion members as well as other events such as a cruise-in on Oct. 28 and a military vehicle show and swap meet in spring 2018.

For more information call (423) 580-0472.

Th e Mountain GoatTh e Mountain Goat train that climbed our mountain from Cowan is

remembered through various entities today. Th e Mountain Goat Market and the Mountain Goat Trail are two examples. Th e train’s early days sound less comfortable than peoples’ memories from the 20th century. Th e sources here: two paragraphs from the National Register’s nomina-tion of the Cumberland Mountain Tunnel and a lively description from the Sewanee Purple of early trips from Cowan up the grade, copied from the Franklin County Historical Review.

“Eighty-seven miles south of Nashville, between the Franklin County communities of Cowan and Sherwood, the Nashville and Chatt anooga Railroad bored a tunnel through Cumberland Mountain. Work on the Cumberland Mountain Tunnel started early in 1849 … with construc-tion crews comprised of English and Irish immigrant laborers, slaves [leased from local owners], and local residents.”

“Coal had been discovered on Cumberland Mountain in the 1840s. Th e Sewanee Mining Company constructed a spur line up the mountain to connect the coal fi elds near Tracy City with the N & C at Cowan. Th e spur crossed over the main line on a cut-stone arch bridge. Th is branch was extended to Coalmont in 1904. … Th e Sewanee Mining Company later became the Tenn Coal, Iron and Railroad Company (later still a subsidiary of U. S. Steel). Th e N & C gained control of the spur in 1887. Th is line also provided access to the University of the South at Sewanee and to the popular resort in Monteagle.”

“Early on the Mountain Goat trip could involve a wait of from two to fi ve hours at the depot at Cowan. When the trainmen left their homes, they took a supply of food and their lanterns for the hour of their return was unknown. To run off the track was an every-day occurrence, and it was a common thing to hear the long blasts of the whistle, calling for section hands scarcely aft er the train had turned the fi rst curve. Th e engineer who made the whole trip without accident ‘set ‘em up to his crew.’ Passengers were rarely hurt, however, and when blackberries were in season they took the delay good naturedly, for the berries were very abundant. Sometimes, there was a stuff y litt le car att ached to the train, but generally passengers, baggage and all were piled up on top of the coal cars to take the weather as it came. Th is may seem an exaggeration, but I have seen ladies perched on the loaded cars with their umbrellas up to keep off the rain. Once on board the cars, you could take your choice between balancing on a split-bott omed chair, sitt ing on the left side of a lump of coal, or lying down, which ever way you thought safest. Th e engines were tiny litt le humpback aff airs and the fi rst one, ‘Th e Sewanee’ would att ract as much att ention now as she did on her fi rst trip. It was very short and so were all the cars, on account of the sharp curves. When bett er coaches were put into service, matt ers were not much improved for the engine had to stop at each grade to get up more steam and when it started off again one was apt to sit down with m ore celerity than grace. I well remember seeing a man who was looking out the back of the car jerked halfway out of the window, while on another occasion the superintendent of the road was rolled very unceremoniously under the water-cooler. Probably the worst connections were in 1865, when the question ‘When does the next train go up the mountain?’ the answer was ‘Next Wednesday’; while to the further question ‘What am I to do?’ the answer was ‘You can climb the mountain, go back where you came from, or camp out here.”

INOURBACKYARDby Harriet Runkle

Hello elementary school students. Th is is a new column just for you! I love science and nature, and I am always fi nding cool things outside. I bet you do, too. Even though this is called “In Our Back-yard,” we can fi nd interesting things in our front and side yards, on a trail, or on the school playground. In this column, I will share something I’ve found outside, or something I am curious about, and give you some ideas on how you can explore further. I want to hear about what you are fi nding too. If you are in elementary school and reading this paper, then you can send me something you think our readers would like to hear about or answer the challenge question. (See below for addresses.) If you send me a photograph, be sure your picture is in a JPEG format. Who knows? Maybe you will see your discovery in the next column.

Now let’s get started.I am sure you have noticed that the leaves on the trees are begin-

ning to change. Did you know that there are millions of litt le bundles of the colors green, orange and yellow in each leaf? Th e green bundles are called chlorophyll; the yellow are called xanthophyll and the or-ange are called carotene. During spring and summer, the chlorophyll bundles are busy making food for the tree. Th ey catch the sunlight and use it for energy to change water from the ground and carbon dioxide from the air into sugar that feeds the tree. Since the chloro-phyll is working so hard, it covers up the yellow and orange colors. Th en in the fall, there is less sunlight and water so the chlorophyll takes a break and then the oranges and yellows show through. But what about the red leaves that we see? Some leaves still have sugar in their leaves and when they catch the autumn sunlight, they turn red. Th e brown leaves are showing the waste that’s left in them.

Your Challenge: Find some orange, yellow, red and brown leaves that have already fallen. Next, identify the type of tree the leaf belongs to and record your fi ndings. Which color did you fi nd the most/least of? What are the names of the trees that produce orange, yellow, red and brown leaves? Which is your favorite leaf? Send me your fi ndings and I will publish them in the next column!

More fun things you can do with fall leaves:Make a collection of your leaves and sort them by color, size and

shape.Create some artwork using your leaves and other things you fi nd

outside.Find a green leaf and use a dime to scrape off the chlorophyll to

see what color the leaf will turn. I’ve tried this and it was really hard! If you can do it send me a picture and describe your technique.

I used the following websites for my research: <www.sciencema-desimple.com/leaves.html>, and <htt p://www.kidzone.ws/plants/autumn1.htm>. Visit them if you want to learn more.

Happy leaf hunting.Please send your challenge answers, artwork, photos or questions about

things you fi nd outside in nature to: P.O. Box 815, Sewanee, TN 37375 or <[email protected]>. Please include your name, what grade you are in and what school you att end. Who knows? You may fi nd your self in the next “In Our Backyard” column!

SAS Students Enrolled in College Courses, Four SAS Students

Named AP Scholars Th anks to the historic relationship between St. Andrew’s-Sewanee and the

University of the South, qualifi ed upperclassmen can enroll in courses at the college for credit. Th is semester, 11 SAS students are taking 15 courses at Se-wanee, including Calculus, Electricity & Magnetism, French, Microeconomics, German, and World Politics.

Because SAS students can take actual college courses for credit, the school does not off er AP courses, but each year students choose to prepare indepen-dently to take AP exams. Four of the students who chose to do this last year received 2017 AP School Scholar awards. Th e AP Scholar Awards recognize high school students who have demonstrated college-level achievement in AP courses and exams. Students included seniors Ester Yang and Cindy Chen and recent graduates Andrew Bachman (now enrolled at Lafayett e College), and Bonnie Tu (now enrolled at Indiana University). Th ese students took AP exams in Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Calculus, Physics, English Literature and Composition, US History, Chemistry, Statistics, and Environmental Science.

St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School welcomes students in grades six–12. St. An-drew’s-Sewanee School will host an Admission Open House for application to the 2018-19 academic year on Sunday, Oct. 8. More information is available at <www.sasweb.org/admission>.

Sewanee Tuition Will Not Increase Next Fall

Th e University of the South has announced that there will be no increase in tuition, room and board for the college class entering the university next fall (2018). Th e tuition these students will pay will be the same next year as it was for this year’s entering class.

Th e tuition freeze continues the university’s series of eff orts over the last six years to make a Sewanee education as aff ordable and accessible as possible.

Last year, Sewanee invested more than $30 million of institutional resources in academic scholarships, need-based grants, tuition remissions, and insti-tutional employment opportunities for undergraduate students. Almost 83 percent of undergraduates received institutional, federal, or state gift funding in 2016–17. Th is generous fi nancial aid represents another piece of the university’s strong commitment to keeping the cost of a top-quality college education ac-cessible for qualifi ed students.

Levée is a third generation artist, trained within the family as well as at the Robert Douglas Hunter Atelier in Boston, Mass. She has taught at Montserrat College of Art in Massachusett s; in Tennessee she teaches independently. Her paintings are owned by members of the Frist family, the Kennedy family and the McGovern family to name a few.

Levée paints in the style of the Boston School, a group of painters including historic fi gures Edmund C. Tarbell, Frank Benson and William Paxton. Her own teacher, Robert Hunter, studied with R.H. Ives Gammell, the golden link in an unbroken chain of master-to-student carrying on this tradition of excellence.

In the 19th century, artists of the Boston School strove to convey beauty and “Truth” in their art. Th e scientifi c discoveries of the 20th century replaced “Truth” with scientifi c accuracy. In the 21st century, artists are asserting that truth, beauty and science are not incompatible. During her presentation, Levée will address this history and the place of her own art in the current renaissance of painting.

At 5 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 19, readers include Laura Willis and Chris McDonough, who will read from their creative writings.

On Wednesday, Sept. 20, readers include Stephen Feeley, poetry and journal essays; Patrick Dean, nonfi ction work; and Kevin Cummings, Sewanee Moun-tain Messenger interviews.

Bennett Bridgers-Carlos will read from her poems on Th ursday, Sept. 21. Joining her are Aaron Carlos, creative writing, and Yolande Gott fried with selections from her biology writings.

On Friday, Sept. 22, Leigh Anne Couch will read poetry; Edward Carlos will read poetry and an essay introduction; and Jeannie Babb will read poetry.

On Saturday, Sept. 23, and Sunday, Sept. 24, from 1–3 p.m., IONA is open for a viewing of Levée paintings. IONA: Art Sanctuary is located on 630 Gar-nertown Road.

Wednesday Art at Cowan Center for the Arts

Th e Franklin County Arts Guild invites community members interested in the visual arts to come on over to the Cowan Center for the Arts Educa-tion building for Art Wednesdays. Anyone can participate: age and skill level do not matt er. Th e group meets every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 12:30 pm. Everyone brings their own art supplies and projects. Sometimes everyone works on individual projects and sometimes we get one of the members to do a mini-workshop for anyone interested.

Wednesday Art is a great place to seek advice on technique, supplies, and get input on projects from the group. Sometimes there is even a fi eld trip to art exhibits in the area. Th e idea is to have fun making art and learning from one another. You don’t have to come every week; in fact, you don’t even have to always be on time. Th ere are no fees associated with Art Wednesday, though you may want to make a small donation for use of the space.

Th e Cowan Center for the Arts is located at 301-303 Montgomery Street in Cowan, at the corner of Hodges & Montgomery.

For more information about the Center call (931) 691-6367.

‘Apparatus for a Dream Sequence’ Lecture and Reception Today

“Apparatus for a Dream Sequence” invites visitors into a dreamscape, where familiar objects and materials become playf ul metaphors. Ordi-nary objects are appropriated and abstracted—made queer —and used to generate new meanings and “new att achments of possibility and desire.” Pragmatic materials preclude fi nished or closed meanings, and the diffi culties

and artifi ce of gender performances of all kinds are laid bare. Apparatus for a Dream Sequence is on view in the University Art Gallery through Oct. 13.

Sculptor Anna Campbell will pres-ent “Apparatus for a Dream Sequence” at a public talk and reception in Con-vocation Hall today (Friday), Sept. 15. Th e event will begin at 4:30 p.m. and is

free and open to the public.Sewanee’s University Art Gallery is

located on Georgia Ave. Th e gallery is free, accessible, and open to the public. Hours are 10 a.m.–5 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, and noon–4 p.m., on Saturday and Sunday. Call (931) 598-1223 for more information, visit our website at <gallery.sewanee.edu>.

Savage to Speak on Alabama Football

Phil Savage, color analyst for the University of Alabama football broad-casts and executive director of the Senior Bowl, will speak at noon Friday, Sept. 22, in Convocation Hall on the University of the South campus. Sav-age’s book, “4th and Goal Every Day: Alabama’s Relentless Pursuit of Per-fection” (with co-author Ray Glier), was released last month.

Th e public is invited to this inside look at the most successful program in the game today, which will be followed by a Q&A and a book signing.

No program in college football po-sitions itself to contend for a national championship year in and year out bet-ter than the Alabama Crimson Tide. Savage and Glier’s book shows how Alabama made adjustments to the way the game would be played well ahead of their competition. It also includes insider nuggets, such as:

Th e fact that the seeds of the Ala-bama process go back 57 years to the Dallas Cowboys.

Coach Nick Saban’s attention to detail and devotion to game-tape reviews (during a fl ight to the White House where his team would be hon-ored, Saban continued to watch tapes of their opponents).

Saban’s hands-on techniques in practice and how involved he is in teaching fundamentals.

Alabama’s unique “non-off ensive” touchdowns approach in 2017, as the team made a conscious eff ort to help its freshman quarterback by drilling on how to create turnovers.

Sewanee alumnus Phil Savage has provided color commentary for Ala-bama football games since 2009. He worked in the NFL as a coach, scout and executive for 20 years aft er begin-ning his career as a graduate assistant at Alabama.

He moved to the NFL as a defen-sive assistant for Nick Saban under Cleveland Browns’ then-coach Bill Belichick. He became the general manager of the Browns and worked in the front offi ce with the Baltimore Ravens and Philadelphia Eagles.

With the defense playing lights out , the Mountain Lions used their ground game in the fourth quarter led by workhorse Jack Simons. Simons scored with a minute left from one yard out and Stevens made it a perfect night on extra point kicks to ice the game at 28-0 .

Jalen Tillman led the Mountain Lions defensively with nine solo tackles and two assists. Tillman got plenty of support as Justin Elgouhary and Zeitler added nine total stops each. Elgouhary had seven solo tackles and two assists, while Zeitler had eight solos and one assist.

ten who loves to run and play. Her favorite pastime is romping with the other kitt ens who are also available for adoption. Peg is FeLV negative, up-to-date on shots and spayed.

Ted is the perfect companion to keep you warm during the coming fall evenings. At fi ve months old, he still loves to play, but he also likes to cuddle in a lap or with his fellow siblings. Ted is FeLV negative, up-to-date on shots and neutered.

Either of the se kitt ens can go home with another kitt en of your choice at a reduced adoption rate for twice the fun!

NATURENOTES

Along the Mountain Goat TrailLate summer wildfl owers were the highlight of a Herbarium walk on

the Mountain Goat Trail last Saturday. Near the trailhead at Hawkins Lane, vining Clematis or Virgins-Bower was in bloom, though soon the fruits with their “fuzzy” long, twisted tail will be evident. Check the leafl et margins to see if it is the native species (coarsely toothed) or the one introduced from East Asia (mostly smooth).

Another pair of similar plants now blooming in abundance is Polym-nia or Leafcup, both native. Th ese are tall, leafy plants with small white ray fl orets. Tennessee Leafcup has just 3 – 6 white fl orets and its stems and leaves are smooth.Although it looks “weedy”, it is a somewhat rare species, and it is probably more abundant here in the South Cumberland than anywhere else. Th e much more common Canada Leafcup is covered in sticky hairs and has more numerous and more showy white fl orets. Th e common name Leafcup comes from the way the paired leaves seem to clasp around the stem.

Soon to be in abundant bloom along the trail and elsewhere is White Snakeroot, with a small head of bright white disk fl owers. Th is species is cited as occurring on railroad embankments—suitably! I think deer must not eat this plant, as it is one of the few still left to bloom on our property. Th is is perhaps due to the toxins that can cause milk-sickness when it is browsed by catt le. Milk-sickness can be fatal to humans and is believed to have caused the death of Abraham Lincoln’s mother. In fact, here in Franklin County a law was passed which enforced the fencing of coves, where catt le were allowed to graze this time of year and would encounter this plant.

Among many others not covered here, the tall ragweed was in bloom along with several species of goldenrod. Just a reminder—it is the abun-dant ragweed pollen from the inconspicuous, small, wind-pollinated green fl owers that cause allergy symptoms, not the more noticeable colorful fl owers of goldenrod, which is insect-pollinated and doesn’t need to produce such abundant, wind-carried pollen.
