| julie ortolon obituary: The Grail Bird Tim Gallagher, 2017-04-25 “The Grail Bird is an enjoyable read . . . A powerful call for conservation, and an exciting bird adventure” (The Boston Globe). What is it about the ivory-billed woodpecker? Why does this ghost of the southern swamps arouse such an obsessive level of passion in its devotees, who range from respected researchers to the flakiest Loch Ness monster fanatics and Elvis chasers? Since the early twentieth century, scientists have been trying their best to prove that the ivory-bill is extinct. But every time they think they’ve finally closed the door, the bird makes an unexpected appearance. To unravel the mystery, author Tim Gallagher heads south, deep into the eerie swamps and bayous of the vast Mississippi Delta, searching for people who claim to have seen this rarest of birds and following up—sometimes more than thirty years after the fact—on their sightings. What follows is his own Eureka moment with his buddy Bobby Harrison, a true son of the South from Alabama. A huge woodpecker flies in front of their canoe, and they both cry out, “Ivory-bill!” This sighting—the first time since 1944 that two qualified observers positively identify an ivory-billed woodpecker in the United States—quickly leads to the largest search ever launched to find a rare bird, as researchers fan out across the bayou, hoping to document the existence of this most iconic of birds. “The Grail Bird is less an ecological study than a portrait of human obsession.” —The New York Times |
| julie ortolon obituary: Holy Smokes Katie Macalister, 2007-11-06 I’m Aisling Grey—but you can call me “frustrated.” The dragon of my dreams—uber-sexy Drake Vireo, wyvern of the green dragons—has finally decided to make an honest woman of me. That is, if we ever make it to the wedding at the same time! Being left at the altar may have cooled my jets, but not my passion...a good thing when Drake disappears and it's up to me to find him. Most brides just have in-laws to worry about. Me? I have warring dragons, ticked-off demon lords, eternal damnation, and a mage who wants to challenge me for an otherworldly position I don’t even want. At least Jim, my doggie-demon, is always at my side. He’s never let me down—yet… |

| julie ortolon obituary: Imaginings Duane C. Woodall, 2004-07 A hundred years ago, most people in America lived on farms or in small towns. The farms were small by today's standards and were tended by a family. These farms were to a great extent self-sufficient. They had hogs, cattle, and chickens for meat, milk, and eggs, a garden and some fruit trees. They raised hay and grain to feed the livestock and planned for some surplus of grain or produce to buy the things they couldn't grow and to pay the taxes and mortgage. Horses, strong backs, and good neighbors powered these farms. The farm was more than a commercial venture; it was a lifestyle closely connected to the good earth. The towns were the centers of trade for the surrounding area. They provided the things that could not be grown on the farm and provided a market for the surpluses raised on the farm. Other than the rural one-room schools, they were the centers for education and they were the social center for the surrounding area. The town and farms were mutually dependent on each other and they also shared a close connection to the good earth. This was rural America and the values that were basic to these farms and towns were what made America great. Rural America inspired the American Dream. That dream included independence, freedom, and opportunity. It included a certain peace, serenity and satisfaction that came as a reward for honest effort. Contrary to today's concept of that dream, it was of middle class proportions. It did not include continuous expansion, but rather of a farm that a family could manage, payoff a mortgage, and have a little to help the next generation. The merchants in those small towns did not dream of supermarkets and malls, but rather a business that would support a comfortable home and lifestyle. Both were content with comfort and security rather than great wealth and luxury. Early rural America had a good work ethic. Most work was physically demanding and entailed a great deal of craftsmanship and society expected everyone to earn his keep. A certain amount of pride was the result of these expectations and laziness and poor workmanship were not acceptable. A good work ethic included honesty and integrity and in a small close knit community, a good reputation was very important. Rural America fostered strong family values. The whole family was needed to run the farm or business. These families worked together, ate together, and played together. As children, there were chores to do and responsibilities to be met. Meals required a great deal of preparation, so everyone ate at the same time. What today we label as entertainment was very scarce, so they played together in a spontaneous and unstructured way. There was the porch swing for summer evenings, board games and books for long winter evenings, and picnics for holidays. A strong family was almost necessary. Husbands needed good wives to maintain a good home. Wives needed good husbands to provide the physical strength needed on the farm or business. Children needed both parents to provide proper guidance and the necessities of life, because there were no institutions to do so, except as a last resort. Rural America was religious. Much education was based on the Scriptures, Bibles were in almost every home and weddings and funerals were of a religious nature. In many cases, the church was the social center of a community and Sunday was regarded as a day of rest, worship, and family fun. The influence of rural America was felt in the cities. Many in the cities had family roots in the country because parents, grandparents, or aunts and uncles still lived on a farm. Because of the great numbers in rural America, it was even a powerful political bloc. The industries and commerce in the cities coveted the work ethic, which was a way of life on the farm.

| julie ortolon obituary: Ceremonies in Dark Old Men Lonne Elder, III, 1969 Ceremonies in Dark Old Men, a classic of American theater, is the poignant story of a family in 1950s Harlem. In timeless prose, Lonne Elder explores the discontent of a generation that has grown old before its time, and the determination of the next generation to avoid such a fate. In the play, Russel B. Parker is a prodigal father and failed barber who exists on memories and ceremonies for survival. He spends his time recounting atmospheric tales of his life in vaudeville and tells, in darkly comic detail, about his days on the chain gang. Just beneath the surface of Elder's work lie the terrors of day-to-day life in a racist society--never directly mentioned, but always simmering unforgettably. Ceremonies in Dark Old Men had its debut Off-Broadway in 1969. It received enthusiastic reviews and moved into an extended run. Since its first performance, the play has been produced numerous times both on television and on the stage, with the leads being played by an honor roll of actors, including Laurence Fishburne, Denzel Washington, and Billy Dee Williams. |

| julie ortolon obituary: The Lighthouse Stevensons Bella Bathurst, 2011-06-28 The “flamboyant and elegantly written saga” of the legendary author's family and their lifesaving nautical advances across eighteenth century Scotland (Publishers Weekly). For centuries the seas around Scotland were notorious for shipwrecks. Mariners had nothing to aid their navigation but a single coal-fire light on the east coast, which was usually extinguished by rain. In 1786 the Northern Lighthouse Trust was established, with Robert Stevenson appointed as chief engineer a few years later. In this engrossing book, Bella Bathhurst reveals that the Stevensons not only supervised the construction of the lighthouses under often desperate conditions but also perfected a design of precisely chiseled interlocking granite blocks that would withstand the enormous waves that batter these stone pillars. The same Stevensons also developed the lamps and lenses of the lights themselves, which sent a gleam across the wave and prevented countless ships from being lost at sea. While it is the writing of Robert Louis Stevenson that brought fame to the family name, this mesmerizing account shows how his extraordinary ancestors changed the shape of the Scotland coast against incredible odds and with remarkable technical ingenuity. |
