Basic needs play a crucial
role in allowing a child the opportunity to achieve his/ her full potential. Abraham Maslow’s theory of a hierarchy of needs was fully expressed in his 1954 book Motivation and Personality.* Simply translated: One cannot reach a level of self-esteem and self actualization, which are imperative for positive self motivation, unless basic physiological and safety needs are first met. Obviously, children cannot care for themselves. And according to Maslow, love, security and adequate sustenance are prerequisite to realizing a functional adulthood. Adults are responsible for providing the proper nutrition and loving security to the chil-

Lean meat, fruits, lots of veggies, hugs, unconditional compassion and responsible, loving discipline will produce a smart, happy kid.

So, for those of us who believe, prayer fills in the gaps.

s the weather gets cooler, we crave the comfort foods of fall, including heavier dishes that are filling and warm. Unfortunately, it is also easier to fall off track and begin eating foods devoid of nutrients and full
of processed ingredients. Make a commitment to stay healthy this season, even as the weather changes and the availability of fresh produce is less. There are still plenty of great comfort foods that can be filling as well as nutritious.

stripes. An ombré wall would have one color at the top and fade into another color at the bottom. Wallpapering one wall could be interesting as could painting a design on one wall. An article on the blog, The Bold Abode, showed one talented lady’s accent wall featuring geometric shapes painted with a gold Sharpie. She stenciled another wall with a white crayon, which incidentally will wipe off the wall if she ever gets tired of it. With accent walls, it seems almost anything goes.
Sparing No Expense? Keep it Neutral
Using Items for Purposes Other Than What They’re Designed For
When buying an investment piece, make it neutral. As style icon Lauren Conrad advises, when you’re going to spend a lot of money on something for the home, you want it to be versatile. For instance, a beige couch would be more versatile than a zebra print couch. It would go with almost anything and outlast any major style changes you decided to make. More fun pieces can be your cheaper items, since those will likely be updated more often.
There are so many ways to make your house unique using random items. One Christmas, my husband and his grandfather made us a coffee table that has floor tiles on top. My brother made his wife furniture out of warehouse pallets. BuzzFeed published an article in which someone had used an old bike to hold up the sink in their bathroom.

made out of hula hoops. Search around for unique lighting that matches your home’s personality. The main thing to remember, is “If you don’t show it, you don’t see it,” says Lighting Consultant & Designer Mary Ann Lewter of Lewter’s Wholesale Supply in Pulaski. Proper lighting is essential in decorating any space. The popularity of LED lighting – in its energy efficiency and maintenance – is certainly changing lighting a home or office in drastic ways. LED bulbs can last 30-50 kilowatt hours, Mary Ann explains. That is up to 16 years, depending on usage. For a few extra ideas, check out our Pinterest board on home decor @validitymag.

Beaver Dam Springs Resort: A Pre-Civil War Destination
Now 75 Years as NaCoMe By Deb Krueger
B
etween Centerville and Linden just off of State Highway 100, there is a place set apart. Located in a simple “holler,” blanketed with native trees, wildflowers and nestled on the sides of a winding creek, NaCoMe Camp and Conference Center is home to many generations of memories within a setting that is primed for relaxation, exploration and fun for all ages. NaCoMe has a rich history of presence in Hickman County and middle/west Tennessee. The area was first settled in 1823 by James Arnold. Columbia business men purchased land at the site in the late 1820’s and built a hotel in 1832. Cabins and summer houses lined the creek and a dance hall was added across the creek from the hotel. Beaver Dam Springs Resort became very popular prior to the Civil War with guests including former President James K. Polk, who practiced law in Columbia when he was not serving as congressman, governor or president. By the 1850s, the area began to be recognized as a health resort. The water from the seven sulfur springs located on the resort were all thought to be of great benefit to one’s health. A Memphis newspaper clipping from March 3, 1857
reported: “Mrs. Jane Keller was in town taking reservations for Beaver Dam Springs Resort. The resort was located on a beautiful, clear creek of pure and living water in a densely shaded grove and where there were four different kinds sulfur springs. There are accommodations for 300 and the charges are $7 per month for adults, $3.50 for children and $3.50 for servants of all ages.” By the 1920s, the resort became very run down and all the buildings were in pretty bad shape. The resort became the victim of the automobile and wider travel habits of the public. The property remained in disrepair until the years of 1926-1937, when Horace Rainey of Columbia began revitalizing the resort. Unfortunately, the days of prosperity did not last. People just did not have the means by which to travel or pay for time at the resort. The last of several resorts in Hickman County, Beaver Dam Springs Resort closed in the late 1930s after the depression. The property was purchased in 1939 by The Presbyterian Synod of Tennessee Churches, as Mrs. Lillias Wilson House Dale, a community and church leader of Williamsport Pike near Columbia, loved the resort and its surroundings and became interested in its potential. It is rumored Mrs. Dale met and fell in

The camp built a water tank that would house water pumped and purified from a clear spring to be distributed throughout the camp. The kitchen was brought up to commercial and state health standards. Many old buildings and cabins, including the old resort hotel had to be torn down due to age and disrepair.
The beginning of new and renewed traditions was well on its way with the opening of NaCoMe Camp & Conference Center. No longer named as the resort it once was, NaCoMe was seen as and felt to be a place of healing, but in a much broader sense of the word. A headline of an article written in 1980 was titled, “Sulphur Creek – From ‘Sinning’ To A Church Camp” in the Hickman County
Times. While the headline may seem to be a strong one today, it was a signal and a sign of the camp’s transformation in this community. However, the camp was not just for the Presbyterians. A whole new audience was primed to experience NaCoMe and would help it begin to grow beyond what anyone would ever imagine. The 1990s brought about more renovations for the camp. Beginning in 1994, the first

placing and renovating the existing cabins. Water supply sources and septic systems were upgraded; power lines were buried, instead of running through the trees from building to building; many more amenities were added to entice young and old to come enjoy the richness of the camp setting. Most all of the major renovations were completed by the year 2000. Even today, NaCoMe continues to move forward. However, the one thing that remains disconnected from NaCoMe is a cell phone signal. The terrain around NaCoMe blocks the signal from local towers, but this is a positive for most groups. The bonds of family, church fellowship, retreat interactions and NaCoMe’s summer
camps take on a different feel from the rest of the world. People enjoy being able to disconnect, finding that it allows them to reconnect with each other. A recent survey of senior high campers and many retreat groups found the forced disconnection to be a major advantage for NaCoMe. So who comes to NaCoMe now? The short answer is, everyone!.While NaCoMe continues to be affiliated with and is a mission of the Presbyterian Church (USA), the camp is open and available to all who are looking for a place to retreat, rest and renew. Being open and available all year round for retreats, camps and conferences, NaCoMe is host to many avenues of use: Retreats; summer camps for children, youth and adults; church
family camps; sports camps; college orientations; family reunions; dance camps; and so many others from various faith traditions and cultural backgrounds. NaCoMe exists as a home away from home for the young and the young at heart. For more information about NaCoMe Camp & Conference Center, visit www.nacome.org or call the Camp Office, 931-7299723. Deb Krueger serves as executive director at NaCoMe Camp & Conference Center.

of seven to ten well-fitting items. Here are mine, in no particular order:

Classic White Shirt Another blank canvas piece that This usually equates to a length never goes out of style is a white that hits right above the knee. Suitable skirts can be dressed up
with a blouse and blazer or down with a tee or chambray top. An Aline style is flattering on most body types and is consistently chic. Just like with a little black dress, accessories will greatly determine how fancy your outfit looks, making this basic piece highly adaptable.
Dress Pants
You probably have a black pair of dress pants in your closet already, and for a good reason! They give off an air of authority in business environments, and they can be worn to formal events, since dress pants can be seen as the tomboy equivalent of the little black dress when paired with a nice blouse. If you don’t have a pair or are looking for more variety, consider purchasing trousers in other neutral hues, such as navy or grey. These colors
with the right man, once you’ve found your ideal pair, you can buy multiples of them: one to wear with heels and one for flats. With all the different styles offered today, shopping for denim can be an overwhelming, frustrating experience, but one that is highly rewarding when it’s successful. Usually, dark washes are the most flattering and are adaptable to most events. Look for styles that are free of frills like rips or whiskers. A solid, unembellished pair never goes out of fashion.
Outerwear
The weather at this time of year can be unpredictable. Some days you only need a light jacket, and others you’re pulling your heaviest wool coat out of the closet. November and December can also be exceptionally rainy. Because of this, a trench coat is a great option to have on hand, as most are at least water-resistant and come with a lining that adds warmth. Trenches come in many different colors, even pastels, although a khaki or black one never goes out of style. Petites can sport this coat too; cropped versions are readily available for purchase. A trench is also useful during rainy, spring months.
Footwear
While I’m a big believer of letting your shoes make a statement, I do know and adhere to the rule
that the foundation of good footwear selection starts with two pairs in basic black: a pair of heels, specifically pumps, and flats. Pumps tend to be recommended because they can take you from the boardroom straight to your dinner date and are always in style. Make sure to choose a heel height that is comfortable for you, as there is nothing less fashionable than wobbling around and wincing. Ballet-style flats are a good choice, since they go with both skirts and pants. If you prefer a more menswear-style version, a classic loafer is an option. This list is by no means the definitive guide to building a wardrobe. Searching for the pieces that work best for your lifestyle is encouraged. It is a good place to start if you have just purged your closet and are looking to make smart purchases. This all seems serious, so let me point out that clothing should be a way to express your personality and that it’s alright to periodically buy a trendy item that you love for a particular season. It’s not illegal to spend too much time in the accessories section, right? Jordan McLeod is a graduate of Middle Tennessee State University. She has been interested in fashion since she recognized the allure of polka dots and fascinated by all things beauty after she realized the transformative power of mascara and lipstick.

that would comprise this exhibit. Letters were sent to the parishioners as well as friends of the group in hopes of gathering enough items to stage a decent presentation. The three families involved also had various pieces and crèches that had been collected over the years. They were looking for anything that represented the birth of Christ including madonnas and angels. Any medium was accepted and welcomed, and they boasted that first year that the works ranged from pasteboard to porcelain. Also included were paintings, even one painted by a local artist especially for the exhibit. One of the most unique items was a beautiful panel that had been embroidered in petit point and fea-

Exquisite hand carved and received as a fourteen year old hand painted wooden eggs from Russia depicting the birth of Christ have also been a popular feature. There are beautiful handcarved crèches from Jerusalem as well as a bisque porcelain set by Boehm. After the first year, a local wood carver was so inspired by what he saw that he had carved a complete nativity set in time for the second year’s exhibit. Another local wood carver also loaned a Holy Family for the exhibit. Not all the items were fancy or fine. There are wonderful items made of stone, wire and felt. This year, there will be a nativity made from brushes. Wisemen made from syrup bottles have also been featured as well as dolls that have been dressed as the nativity characters. When asked about the suitability of someone’s pieces, the reply of the committee is that nothing is too humble or too fine not to include. The children of our community have also had a special room that exhibited nativity sets made of felt, plastic or wood. Some are quite whimsical and have characters depicted from animals such as bears. Another favorite with the children is the Snoopy Nativity Set, and they even show a cowboy nativity set. Displayed on eye level for the children, in this room the children are allowed to touch the pieces. This exhibit has grown in scope as well as attendance over the past three years. Last year, more than six hundred people from seven different states attended the event, and more than 500 different items comprised this exhibit.

Little Sister Death
T e n a i n b e s m see u l o C
The new novel by the late William Gay By James Lund
I
f you are not familiar with the work of William Gay, allow me to take a moment to introduce you. William Gay was born in 1941 in Hohenwald, Tennessee. He began writing as a teenager and continued for the rest of his life. Although a lifelong writer, his work was not published until 1998 with his first appearance in a literary magazine. His first novel, The Long Home, was published in 1999. The Long Home was a tour de force that caused many in the southern fiction community to sit up and take note. As more books and collections of short stories were released, comparisons were made. The name William Gay was being used in the same breath as Thomas Wolfe, Erskine Caldwell and William Faulkner. It became clear that William Gay was one of the most skillful and genuine southern writers of his time. In April 2015 it was announced that actor James Franco would produce, direct and star in the film adaptation of The Long Home, scheduled for release in 2017. The Long Home was followed in 2000 by Provinces of Night, which became the film Bloodworth, starring Val Kilmer and Kris Kristofferson. Next were two collections of short stories, I Hate to See That Evening Sun Go Down (2002) and Wittgenstein’s Lolita (2006). In 2007, Gay’s novel Twilight was praised by famed author Stephen King as the best book of the year. King said, “Think No Country for Old Men, by Cormac McCarthy,
and Deliverance, by James Dickey… then double the impact.” Then, it was over. Gay died at his home in Hohenwald on February 23, 2012. He was 70 years old. William Gay’s brand of literature is rich and honest. It is dark, with a touch of humor. Intelligent and culturally true. His writing often depicts rural southern life by shadowing terribly flawed, despicable characters that Gay somehow makes human. I have been told Gay was not fond of the term “southern gothic” when used to describe his work, but many use the term because they feel it truly does define the genre that he so beautifully mastered. After his death, there was knowledge of at least one novel, and possibly others that Gay completed and had

not yet published. This was publicly confirmed in the summer of 2014 when Dzanc Books announced
they had acquired the world publishing rights for two of Gay’s previously unpublished works. The first of these, Little Sister Death, was released on September 29, 2015. Gay’s powerful, provocative habit of going where other authors dare not, shines through in Little Sister Death. The novel is a retelling of the legend of the Bell Witch, a tale with which many may be familiar. It covers 200 years of supernatural events that take place on a plantation in Tennessee beginning with a first chapter that paints a horrific picture of a land that has possessed evil long before it became famous. The book tells three stories, that of how the Beale family came to Tennessee, that of a tenant farmer who lived on the property during the Depression era and the story of David Bender, an author who, while taking a break from writing his next major work, is convinced
by his agent to write a quick little paperback story to make some extra cash. He decides the tale of the Beale haunting will be his next, and while researching the legend, he becomes captivated with the story to the point of moving his family to an old home on the former Beale property. David soon discovers that the evil on this property has a history of driving men mad, and he is no exception. You can find copies of Little Sister Death at The Old Curiosity Book Shop on the square in downtown Columbia, or at your favorite indie bookstore. Remember to support your local indie shops, restaurants and publications. We appreciate each one of you. James Lund, along with his wife Heather, own The Old Curiosity Book Shop in downtown Columbia, Tennessee. A native of Nashville, James moved to Columbia several years ago to get away from crowds and promptly opened a business whose purpose is to attract crowds.

One Lawyer’s Opinion
How to Think Like a Lawyer
I
have a friend who sometimes responds to me by saying “That’s an argument only a lawyer could understand.” I hope he’s not talking about legalese, because I hate legalese. It is the unfortunate habit many lawyers fall into, using complicated words and expressions not likely familiar to laymen. They By Landis also tend to Turner use three words where one would suffice. A lawyer may say, “I give, devise and bequest to my son, George...” Why not just say? “I leave to my son, George...” On the other hand, my friend may be referring to my style of discussing issues. I have a cousin who says that she never argues or even discusses religion or politics, because people who do tend to get mad. I love to discuss and even debate politics and religion. I never get mad and rarely rile the emotions of whomever I’m talking with. Whenever a lawyer hears the phrase “think like a lawyer,” his mind goes to the 1973 movie, The Paper Chase, about Harvard Law School. Contracts Professor Kingsfield tells his first year students, “You come in here with a head full of mush and you leave thinking like a lawyer.”
A lawyer should examine all alternatives and always examine all issues from the viewpoint of his adversary. I always try to do what the late Senator Howard Baker did. “Put your feet in his shoes. The other guy might be right.” A good lawyer must recognize all the issues, not just one or two. He must avoid emotional entanglement. For instance, a criminal defendant may have confessed to a terrible crime. No matter how revolting the crime is, the defense lawyer must center on whether the law enforcement officers have warned him of his right to remain silent, before answering any questions. When arguing a case, a good lawyer studies the history of the issue. He determines how similar cases have been decided in the past. Then he tries to convince the court to follow the precedent set by the old case. Or if the old case is not helpful, he tries to persuade the court to distinguish the old case and rule differently. Lawyers always distrust assumptions without questioning them carefully. The concept, “We do it that way because we’ve always done it that way,” makes me determined to find alternatives. Lawyers accept ambiguity. They allow flexibility. The United States Supreme Court has decided scores of cases with issues that the framers never thought of: same sex marriage and abortion, to name a

The results of the latest bar examination, taken in July, were just released by the Board of Law Examiners. The examination is given twice each year and is one step which must be passed by all law school graduates, before the Tennessee Supreme Court will consider granting them the privilege to practice law in our state. In addition, there are other requirements which I will mention below. In July, 701 people took the test; 452 (64 percent) passed and 249 (36 percent) failed. I am not sure what the rule is now, but when I took the test in 1965 (thanks for thinking I don’t look that old!), one could take it four times. A fourth try required special permission. I’ve never known anyone who failed five times, but I’ve known several who failed a time or two and then went on to become excellent lawyers.

There was a saying when I was in Vanderbilt, that A students ended up teaching in a law school, B students became judges and C students made a lot of money practicing law. I’ve never taught, although I wouldn’t mind doing it part time. I’ve never been a judge except as a six week substitute. As for making a lot practicing, that’s always relative. The most interesting thing about the results of the latest bar exam is how graduates of our Tennessee law schools fared when compared with each other. Vanderbilt,

as might be expected, usually leads the group, but not this year. Belmont University’s College of Law led the pack, with a passing rate of 94 percent. (Source: TBA Today Online Newsletter, October 12, 2015.) Vanderbilt was second and University of Tennessee was close behind. Nashville School of Law was last in line, but it is a night school where I believe students are there two nights a week. Almost all of them have families and full time jobs. In defense of my alma mater, many of Vanderbilt graduates are from other states and plan to practice elsewhere. So they don’t study as much as those who plan to stay here. I have a friend from Arkansas who took our exam, just for practice, then went on to become a federal judge in Little Rock. As I have said before, Vanderbilt has the prestige to open doors if one wants to work on Wall Street, in D. C. or Atlanta. But if he plans to stay home, he should go to a state school or Belmont. You’ll save a big pot of money and receive just as good an education. Bel-
mont advertises its cost is $64,670. Vanderbilt is $74,104. I was surprised when Belmont announced it was starting a law school. I thought we had plenty. But they obviously did their homework, assembled an impressive faculty and have started off with a bang. In addition to passing the bar, an applicant for license must prove his graduation from an accredited undergraduate school and approved law school. Also, he must submit proof of good character with references.
HOW TO READ THE METER ON THE SIDE OF YOUR HOUSE
The electric meter is a very accurate instrument. It precisely records the kilowatthour consumption used by a home or business so there is no guesswork.Meters have four or five dials that rotate alternately clockwise or counter-clockwise. The meter can be read from left to-right or right-to left, but the reading is recorded only as a left-to-right reading. The dials below read 4-6-3-7-2. If you read the dials from right-to-left the reading would still be written as 4-6-3-7-2.
This column discusses legal issues of general interest and does not give legal advice on any reader’s personal situation. The law is not a one-size-fits-all hat. Consult a lawyer of your choice. Landis Turner is a graduate of the University of the SouthSewanee and Vanderbilt University School of Law. He is a former president of the Tennessee Bar Association.

The Garden
I
looked out toward a field immensely covered in weeds, thistles, thorny bushes and rocks—a wasteland choking out any good growth that strove to take root, sprout and bear good fruit or celebrate beauty. “Can good come of this field?” I asked myself. I rose up with resolve to rid the land of By Charles E. the rocks, plow Newbold, Jr. under the unwanted growth, allowing it time to decay. I took a plow to it again and made furrows for planting seed and for irrigation. I methodically planted good seeds for vegetables and flowers for beauty. What was once a useless field became a garden with a new nature and purpose. It was transformed from fruitlessness to life. Day after day, I kept watch over my new garden lest any unwanted seed fell among the good seed to choke it out. Though it was now a garden, it was still vulnerable to the invasion of bad seed. Funny thing! Never once did the good growth choke out the weeds. It was always the other way around. My garden prospered and brought forth a harvest of good fruit in season, but I had to keep it weeded. Even so, no amount of bad seed that found its way into my garden changed it back from being a garden. The bad seed did not define the garden. It was a garden because it had been converted into a garden. That field had a new nature and a new purpose for being. When I looked out toward that garden, never again did I think of it as a wasteland. It was my garden. I would keep it fertilized, watered, cultivated, weeded as needed and harvested in season. I was once like that—a worthless field of weeds, thistles, thorny bushes and rocks. Then, came my Master Gardener who looked upon me and

saw something different. His name is Jesus. He turned me into a garden for Himself. He cast away the rocks of stumbling, plowed me under, composted my weeds and prepared the ground of my soul for new life. He planted seeds that would bring forth the fruit of His Spirit—“love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.” Galatians 5:22-23. The seed He planted in me was the seed of His own eternal life. He changed my nature. I am no longer a wasteland, but a garden— His garden. Sure, the bad sin-seed of my own flesh has the potential to infiltrate this garden, but you know what? I don’t want it there, and my Gardener doesn’t want it there. It always has to go. Every time one of those weeds, thistles and thorn bushes shoots up out of the ground, it is plucked up and thrown into the fire. There is no condemnation when this happens because my old field of weeds, thistles, thorn bushes and rocks is dead and my new garden-life is hidden with Christ in God. Colossians 3:3. This bad seed does not define who I am in Him. I am His garden. I have been bought with a price. I belong to Him. He knows the harvest from seedtime. He sees the finished work. Moreover, I “am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.” 2 Timothy 1:12. “He who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” Matthew 13:23.

So these pint size plants that produce full size fruit offer even more options, to include some sweet health-enhancing berries all over the garden, landscape and in containers. Three BrazelBerries are currently on the market. 1) Jelly Bean Blueberry is a tidy, mounding puffball shape from 1-2 feet tall that thrives in containers. In the summer, when the berries are turning blue, the leaf margins turn red. The berries have the flavor of a wild blueberry. 2) Peach Sorbet is a two foot tall blueberry whose foliage changes from orange in the spring, to emerald in the summer then to purple in the fall. It produces medium size berries that grow in clusters and have a sweet tropical flavor of peach, banana and cinnamon. 3) Raspberry Shortcake grows 2-3 feet tall and has thornless canes and needs no staking or trellising. It has a bit of a natural trailing habit. It looks great in containers and grows well in the ground also. The BrazelBerries collection are self-fruiting, so they don’t need pollination from another variety nearby.

Ornithology Report
I
was recently treated to one of the most wonderful natural “soundscapes” to be had in this area. I was camped in the woods of west Tennessee when the nighttime forest exploded with whoops, howls, clacking and popping from every direction. If you look online, By Bill Pulliam you will find many recordings of sounds like these being passed off as the cries of Bigfoot. But, of course, I was not surrounded by a troop of Bigfoots. I was surrounded by Barred Owls. Most likely, I happened to have set up camp right between two family groups of these, big, brown, forest-loving owls. The two clans had gone berserk with the hooting and hollering back and forth at each other, mixing their cries with loud clicks of their bills that sound much like musical wood blocks. And just to accent it all, the coyotes joined the cacophony from a distance as well. As we move into winter, the long, quiet nights and leafless trees emphasize the voices of the big, night creatures. In summer, the insects and frogs often fill the air with sound. But winter nights have much less background noise, and the crisp air lets sounds travel for miles, making it the perfect time to enjoy the voices of our owls. The Barred Owl is our second largest owl and generally the most vocal. Its classic call is a series of eight, loud, ringing hoots usually transcribed as “Who cooks for you? Who cooks for youall?” This call has a distinctive, syncopated rhythm. So in the Dixieland swamps even the owls have That Swing. This call is just the beginning of the Barred Owl’s vocal repertoire. They also produce a junglelike series of whoops, sometimes called the “monkey call,” that has

caused more than one Tennessean to sit bolt upright in his bed when the owl sounds off close to the bedroom window at 2 a.m. And the favorite of the Bigfoot aficionados is the long, blood-curdling wail that can last for five seconds or more, rising and falling in pitch. When they really get going, the owls will mix all of these calls together in long, improvised compositions, the scat singers of the avian world. The Barred Owl is the large, brown-eyed, round-headed owl (lacking “ear tufts”) of our forests. Though mostly nocturnal, they are the large owls most likely to be seen or heard around here in the daytime, especially in late afternoon or on cloudy days. During the day, their calling is usually limited to the “Who cooks for you?” call. The other large, brown owl in this area is the Great Horned Owl. It is bigger than the Barred Owl with prominent “ear tufts” or “horns” and yellow eyes. They are more strictly nocturnal than the Barred Owl but are still sometimes seen about in daylight. The call of the Great Horned is a series of four, deep, resonant, hollow hoots. The first two hoots are short-long pair, with tremolo on the long, second hoot, followed by two more long hoots that lack the tremolo and fall in pitch slightly. So the whole pattern is “who-whoo-o-o-o. Whooo, whooo.” Unlike most Tennessee birds, Great Horned Owls are midwinter nesters. They frequently are sitting on eggs in December and
have hatchlings in the nest by January. Hence, they are often quite vocal on crisp, quiet, winter nights, when their voices can carry over a mile. Great Horneds like a more mixed habitat mosaic than the Barreds do. The mixture of forest and field across rural Tennessee is an ideal landscape for them. Both the Great Horned and Barred Owls are found in every county in this
state, even close to the major cities. The third common owl in Tennessee is the Eastern Screech Owl, a small bird with ear tufts that is about the size of a dove. Screech Owls are ubiquitous, but highly nocturnal and rarely seen other than as a brown flash through your headlights. Vocally, they are also more subdued than their larger cousins. In spite of their name, Screech Owls do not screech. They produce a gentle whinny or whistled trill that carries less than 100 yards even on a quiet night. Birders imitate their call by whistling while simultaneously producing a trill in the back of the throat. This “throat action” is done like rolling a German “R” or imitating the growl of a dog. So do that without engaging your vocal cords, and whistle at the same time, and you may just hear a real owl answer you back. A caution – if you do it too well and for too long, the owl may fly at your head! They don’t make contact, but it will still get your heart pumping! The last of the four widespread owls in Tennessee is the Barn Owl.

This pale, medium-sized, longlegged owl has a distinctive “heartshaped” face. Its face and underparts are almost entirely white, with light, tawny brown upperparts. True to its name, the Barn Owl is a bird of rural areas, nesting and roosting in sheds, barns, silos and other semi-open structures. When we bought our house, which had been vacant with broken windows for more than a decade, there were the remains of a Barn Owl nest in the attic. Barn Owls are much spottier in their distribution than the other three owls mentioned. They like neither deep forest nor built-up areas. They have generally been declining in population over the decades across North America, as the rural landscape becomes either mechanized or suburbanized. It has been over a decade since I last heard one at our place. The voice of a Barn Owl is distinctive, but not necessarily “owllike.” Unlike the Screech Owl, which doesn’t screech, the Barn
Owl does screech. Its usual call is a hissing shriek, sometimes soft, sometimes rather loud. This shriek is given occasionally as the birds cruise over farm country at night. You will also often hear it when you walk into the owl’s barn, day or night. There are three other owls that occur in Tennessee – the Shorteared, Long-eared and Saw-whet Owls. These three are much less numerous and only rarely seen or heard around here. Owls have always been among my favorite birds. As the nights grow longer, it is worth spending a little time outside in the chill listening for the voices of the night. Bill Pulliam got started in birdwatching by his junior high science teacher in 1974, and has been an avid birder ever since in 48 U.S. states and 7 foreign countries. He is currently the Tennessee editor for eBird, a online project that compiles millions of observations from tens of thousands of birders around the world.

TREES AND ELECTRICITY DON’T MIX
Trees falling or coming into contact with power lines is by far the most common cause of power outages on the Lawrenceburg Utility System. That’s why LUS has a strong proactive program to keep trees and brush from the lines. While trees and electricity are great to have they do not mix. When they do, power reliability and personal safety are at risk.

acrificing fun and freedom for ten years, the stay at home mother and wife, Becky Jane, never wavered from the task or ever expressed regret for the all consuming time spent caring for her family. Truly a beautiful thing. Her second life, after child rearing, now is full of all the excitement and activity she missed when By Shane Newbold nurturing babes. My mother had to work during much of my childhood. However, my two younger sisters and I never missed home cooked meals, clean clothes or loving care. So, a tribute utilizing quotes, to my mom and the mother of my children who have blessed my existence, follows. A few dad and parenting quotes are in the mix, as well. A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie. – Tenneva Jordan The phrase “working mother” is redundant. – Jane Sellman The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. – Ra-

Tell her you love her. Remember, you’re the only person who knows what her heart sounds like from the inside. – Rachel Wolchin A woman has two smiles that an angel might envy, the smile that accepts a lover before words are uttered, and the smile that lights on the first born babe and assures it of a mother’s love. – Thomas C. Haliburton A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty. – Author Unknown Sometimes the poorest man leaves his children the richest inheritance. – Ruth E. Renkel A father carries pictures where his money used to be. – Author Unknown The words that a father speaks to his children in the privacy of home are not heard by the world, but, as in whispering-galleries, they are clearly heard at the end and by posterity. – Jean Paul Richter I am not ashamed to say that no man I ever met was my father’s equal, and I never loved any other man as much. – Hedy Lamarr You will find that if you really try to be a father, your child will
