Disaster averted as firefighters keep Kinburn Side Road shop fire away from fuel tanksBy THERESA [email protected]

EMC News Firefight-ers waged a defensive battle against a fire in a shop that contained biodiesel, in the hopes of keeping it from spreading to nearby fuel tanks Saturday night in West Carleton. And their efforts paid off.

According to the Ottawa Fire Service, a 911 call by property owner Art Martin was received just before 6 p.m. Feb. 11. When fire crews arrived at 4011 Kinburn Side Rd., they found an 18 by 24 metre building fully involved with flames showing through the roof and through sides of the steel siding building.

Firefighters quickly learned from the property owner the shop was being used to pro-duce biodiesel, and contained chemicals and other hazard-ous products.

According to Ottawa Fire Service public information officer Marc Messier, this in-

West Carleton Country Kitchen considering closing its doorsBy DEREK [email protected]

EMC News After almost four years and 34 sessions, the West Carleton Country Kitchen could see its doors close due to lack of volun-teer participation.

Usually run out of the Fitzroy Harbour Com-munity Centre, the country kitchen reaches out to the vulnerable and needy in Ward 5, advising on how to prepare and eat healthy, affordable foods. Its second mandate is to promote buy local strategies, meant to bolster rural busi-nesses while reducing the carbon footprint.

Gail Carroll is the lead volunteer. She said a government grant ran out two years ago, leav-ing the group of about 12 to 15 participants to contribute $6 each session, and rely on dona-

tions from area businesses such as Dunrobin Meats, Fitzroy Beef Farmers, and Panmure Farms, known for Hudsons sweet corn and much more.

However, tracking down and inviting guest speakers, lobbying for donations, organizing events, and more all require time and effort. Which is easier when more people take part.

She said buying food from countries with laxed food regulations, such as Mexico and China, doesnt make sense from a health, en-vironmental or economic standpoint. But, that getting the message out while helping on the individual level is a growing challenge.

A real estate brokerage has been helping investors profit from investing in nice homes by offering a free real estate report entitled, How to Make $112,284 Each & Every Year Investing in Real Estate without Touching a Screwdriver

According to Sharon, who purchased three investment properties with-in two months after receiving the report: Its my opinion, that anyone who is interested in investing in real estate should request a copy of this report. This report provides beginners or experienced investors information on a system that will help them succeed in investing in real estate.

In this report, you actually get to see local investors who used this system to change their lives.

One of those investors is a couple named Paul and Maja. According to the couple, We started investing in properties using the strategy outlined in this free report in the fall of 2011. We accumulated 2 homes in less than

four weeks that combined are paying us just under $1,100 of cash flow each and every month. Plus we have locked in more than $112,557 of profit.

The couple stated that the homes they invested in were in move in condition so they didnt have to spend their evenings and weekends fixing up homes.

Paul and Maja liked this approach because it didnt require them to have the financial risk of having to pay the mortgage, taxes and insurance costs for a property during a rehab project.

The approach seems to be working because they are planning to leave their high paying jobs! To get a copy of the same FREE report Sharon, Paul and Maja used to begin their real estate investing, call the Ottawa Real Estate Information Center at 613-699-2036 and enter ID 2. Leave a message with your mailing address or you can request a FREE copy online at www.FreeOttawaReport.com

Its a lot of work, Carroll said. I dont know how long we can keep this going. Its a real strain on volunteers.

Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren said a volunteer organization that champions local business and healthy living should be sup-ported.

I havent heard of this group, but it sounds like a great idea, MacLaren said. Im a big proponent of vol-unteerism. More and more people are going to have to realize government cant help them anymore.

He didnt offer to go after a grant for the group, but did encourage church groups and community associations get involved to help.

I understand volunteers can get burnt out, he said. This such a worthy thing people are doing. What a simple, great idea. Im sure if word was to get out there, that they are looking for help, those groups would help out.

The West Carleton Country Kitchen isnt simply looking for more volunteer help. Its also having difficulty finding those who would benefit most. A number of people could be

helped, from children raised with little experience in eating nutritious foods to widows who find themselves cooking for the first time in their lives.

Aside from the educational aspect, Carroll said the best reason to participate is the so-cial side and helping to build the community.

Its meant to bring people together, she said. Its really a lot of fun.

Upcoming Country Kitch-en sessions, which begin at 10 a.m. with lunch at noon, include:

Feb. 18 - HealthySweets: Sweeteners and

alternatives at St. Pauls United Church in Carp; guest speaker is registered nurse Stephanie Nelson; March 24 - Wheatalternatives awareness of grains, soy, tofu, and gluten, vegetable, quinoa and alternative recipes; at the Kin-burn Community Centre;

April 21 - Anti-in-flammatory foods (for arthri-

tis suffers and others) Kale, fish, fruit dishes, green tea; at theFitzroyHarbourCommu-nity Centre;

May 19 Optimalfoods for fat loss, label read-ing 101 -whats good for you; at St. Pauls United Church in Carp; guest speaker to be de-termined;

June9-SpringHar-vest: salads and herbs; yoga

and relaxation; guest speaker to be determined.

The West Carleton Coun-try Kitchen encourages the donation of locally-grown produce. In turn, a portion of all prepared food goes to the West Carleton Emergency FoodAid.

To register, email Carroll at [email protected].

Fire was fought defensively due to possible hazards, says Ottawa Fire ServiceFrom front page

formation caused firefighters to retreat and battle the blaze from a safe distance for fear of explosion.

The flames from the blaze could be seen from Highway 417 and lit up the night skyaround Kinburn and Paken-ham.

This fire was fought defen-sively as a result of possible hazards involved, Messier stated. Crews concentrated

on protecting other buildings on the property including the home which was 200 feetaway.

The family home was un-touched by fire and four, 5,000 litre fuel tanks that were next to the building on fire were saved.

SHOP COLLAPSEDMessier reported the shop

building collapsed around 7:30 p.m. but continued toburn for some time. Also de-

stroyed in the fire were one vehicle and a trailer.

Fire crews from Arnpriorand Mississippi Mills were called in to assist by provid-ing tankers to shuttle water to fire scene.

TheOttawaPoliceServiceclosed Kinburn Side Road between Dominion Springs Farm and Highway 417 forseveral hours as crews battled the blaze. There were no in-juries.

Firefighters did remain onscene most of the night extin-guishing hot sports.

Messier reported Monday that damage from the blaze is estimatedat$375,000.

As for Martin and his fam-ily, he told the West Carleton Review EMC they are doing fine.

He recalled how he had just stepped outside to do some-thing and saw the first puff of smoke coming from the shop

early Saturday evening. He praised the fire department for their quick response although he admitted it seems like a long time when one waits for the fire crews to arrive.

Martin said he felt the fire was somewhat sensational-ized in some media reports.

The house was never in any danger. It (fire) wasnt at the house. They (firefighters) told us (Martin, his wife and children), he said. The wind

was blowing in the right di-rection.

The task at hand for Mar-tin and his family is securing heat for the house as the heat source for the home was in the shop. That is his first priority. Whether or not the shop will be rebuilt is a topic for discus-sion for another day.

Its not the house, its a building. We still have a roof over our heads, Martin con-cluded.

Refl ections of a war heroFrom labour camps and battle injuries, to laughter

and dance, a polish major details a life well-livedBy DEREK [email protected]

EMC Lifestyle Major Stanislaw Taraz-ewicz takes quiet pleasure in watching the trees sleep in the expansive front yard of his Dunrobin country-home. The tiny birds bus-ily searching for food, even the pesky squirrels forever causing mischief; all life thriving in the winter stillness contribute to a small grin he has maintained for more than 90 years now.

It is key to a long and fulfi lling life, he says from the living room on a bright and crisp af-ternoon. To smile, to appreciate beauty in all its forms, to trust in ones God: these are some of the principles that can see a man through re-peated arrests, labour camps, multiple war in-juries, and fi nding buddies dead in the fi eld.

Tarazewiczs life all those years ago, in far away countries, fi ghting the Nazi terror, was different in many external ways. But at heart the teenage boy and old man are the same in many more.

I talk with a smile, you see? Always. I dont worry about things, said Tarazewicz. But I have a heart. I have a soul. I am very touchy about some things.

One of those things is fi ghting for the hon-our of his country, which he did as a teenage boy in 1939, when he joined the Polish forces in time to see his part of Poland fall to the So-viets. He was arrested, spent 10 months in a Lithuanian internment camp, and then escaped back to Wilno, Poland to join the Polish under-ground army which became the largest and most effective underground resistance move-ment in Europe.

The next year or two he managed to escape capture, but eventually was spotted on the Street by the Soviet secret police and arrested again. He was deported to a labour camp deep in Rus-sia. He learned from a newspaper clipping that

a deal was inked to free the prisoners.It was only on paper. We had to escape.He made it back to enlist in the Polish Army.

He was only 19, so was forced to lie about his age. The army was eventually evacuated from the USSR Stalins paradise, or the inhumane land as Poles called it to Iraq. Intense mili-tary training in Iraq and Palestine (now Israel), Lebanon and Egypt, prepared him for the battle ahead in Italy. In the historic battle of Monte Cassino, Tarazewicz displayed exceptional courage and dedication, and was awarded his countrys highest honour: the Silver Cross of the Virtuti Militari Class V.

It was there, after clearing the mines, that he

was wounded three times on the fi rst day.I was badly traumatized by the death of my

closest friend, Mundek Kluczynski, who as killed on the eleventh of May, at the beginning of the battle, Tarazewicz said in his memoir. He was shot through the head, and I found him the next day, as if he was sitting by a big boulder. I was terribly shocked and saddened and felt a bitter taste of the end that was await-ing us.

On day two his Jeep was ripped apart by a land mine. Lying face down in the huge crater, he realized all limbs were attached but none were moving. Moments later he regained feel-ing and tended to the wounded driver and his lieutenant.

And yet he found moments of humour on the battlefi eld, a testament to humanitys abil-ity to endure. An enemy mortar that hit a cess-pool managed to spray the unpleasant content in every direction.

It stank so badly that it was more unpleas-ant than the German mortars, according to the memoir.

By the end of the war it was clear that Taraz-ewicz was a national hero. But it was off to Great Britain, not a communist nation, for him

and the rest of the Polish Second Corps. There he built camps for civilian Poles until the group was demobilized in 1949.

There is no reason for war, Tarazewicz declared.

He doesnt wax nostalgic about his war years. Just the facts and horror.

LIFE AFTER WAR

Civilian life suited him. He enjoyed seven years in Manchester as a draftsman, becom-ing lead dancer in the Polish National Dance Troupe, captain of the Polish Volleyball Team and by enjoying the freedom of youth denied him up to that point.

He met a beautiful Polish girl during those years, Teresa Oczepko, 10 years his junior, but neither appeared ready to settle.

Everybody knew him. But he was an old man, so who cares, said a laughing Teresa, a tall and elegant woman in her early 80s today. For the most part she sat quietly with perfect posture, languidly smoking a cigarette, fondly recalling a story or two from there 30 years in Montreal.

At one point she leaped to her feet and skipped from the room to retrieve a newspaper with her twenty-something photo on the front page, with a ravenous smile. Other times she would quietly steal into the kitchen and return with even more Polish sweets for all.

But her childhood years were anything but glamorous. When her father was killed, mother and child were sent to Siberia. The trip back was by cattle train. Of the 15 kids on board only herself and another boy survived.

They just threw them out on the way. It was horrible, she said, then found reason to smile with beautiful twinkling eyes at another post-war memory.

She was separated from her month for about six months. They ended up in Nairobi, Kenya, living in a Polish settlement. In round huts with dirt fl oors, she called it primitive but some-how a good life. From there it was to Tehran, Persia, before a family member could get them to England.

The couple married in 1955 after she insisted he participate as her equal in a wedding party.

He was a great man, a real gentleman.

Two years later, in Montre-al, their son Richard was born. They wanted a name that was both English and French, and that it was the same as some hockey heroes didnt hurt ei-ther.

He now lives in the Cayman Islands.

Their sons name says something about how the cou-ple feels as immigrants. They are in favour of keeping ones culture, but to assimilate is also important. That means learn-ing a new language, working, paying taxes, and trying to take from the system as little as possible.

Tarazewicz came to Canada on contract with the Shawin-igan Water and Power Corpo-ration, and then worked at the General Engineering Com-pany where he specialized in the design and operation of pa-per-making machines. He also worked in the design of the La Fontaine tunnel, under the St. Lawrence River. It was a de-sign unique in the world at that time. For the last nine years of his working career, he was at Canada Cement Lafarge.

With great vigour he says there are two countries he would fight for: Canada and Poland.

The couple retired to Dun-robin in 1987. Tarazewicz is past chairman of the Polish Combatants Association, Ot-tawa chapter.

Teresa is less interested in the quiet life that her husband now enjoys, preferring to en-tertain like they did during their dazzling days in Montre-al. But she is also fond and ap-preciative of their neighbours.

The neighbours I have are irreplaceable. They take Stan to Riverside (hospital). Cut the grass. They are so good to us.

We have a beautiful life, Tarazewicz said. Even at my 90 years of age. I can look at the trees grow and get mad at the squirrels. It is a good life.

Dunrobin neighbours irreplaceable to international couple

This military identity of second Lt. Stanislaw Tarazewicz, dated Aug. 20, 1945, is a British document. The polish re-sistance fighters were considered the largest and most ef-fective in Europe during the Second World War.

Thanks to all our Past Presidents, sponsors, supporters and vol-unteers for your concern and assistance during and immediately

following the fire.

Thanks to Bradleys Insurance for getting people on site as quickly as possible so that the Carp Agricultural Hall could continue

Get out and fish license-free this Family Day weekendBy EMMA [email protected]

EMC Events - If youve ever dreamed of reeling in a record fish, this is your chance.

All Canadian residents are invited to grab a pole and start fishing during the annu-al license-free long weekend Feb. 18 to 20.

Throughout the provinces Family Day weekend, Ontar-ios Ministry of Natural Re-sources has waived the need for a fishing license to allow people to try fishing without having to drop a lot of cash on an Outdoors Card.

The freebie weekend ap-plies only to Canadian resi-dents, and anglers must stick to the conservation limits outlined for their area.

Alesha Caldwell with the Ontario Federation of An-glers and Hunters admin-isters the program, which encourages communities to host events to take advantage of the license-free weekend and teach residents about the sport.

She said the weekend, along with a license-free week in July, is useful to get new anglers started.

In general to be able to get involved in a sport you need a kick starter like get-

ting a family member to take you out. So having license-free opportunities reduces that barrier to get you out, she said.

Especially in the winter, fishing is a very accessible sport to get into, Caldwell said.

Youre not casting, youre just fishing in a hole. So for ice fishing you just need a hook, rod and a line, she said, laughing that sometimes a stick with a string and piec-es of hot dog and catch more than her fancy equipment.

Even a hut isnt necessary, she said.

You dont need a hut. They are available, you can go to your local bait and tackle shop to see if they rent them. But all you need is a bucket to sit on, she said. Augers for drilling into the ice are also reasonably priced, she said, and are available for rent as well.

Caldwell said newcomers to the sport should consider taking a more experienced angler with them onto the ice, to offer tips and guidance.

However if someone wants to take advantage of the li-cense-free weekend without a fisherman friend, Caldwell suggested talking to the lo-cals to make sure the ice is

safe and perhaps recruiting someone to help drill the hole.

The ice should have four inches of good, clear ice on top, she advised, noting that cloudy or white ice has air pockets and may be less stable.

Gearing up the weekend, Caldwell has overseen the organization of countless fishing events across the province, including three in the Ottawa area.

LOCAL AREA EVENTS

On Saturday, Feb. 18 the Ottawa Region Walleye League will host its third an-nual Kids Ice Fishing Event on Constance Lake in Otta-was west end. From 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. kids can try their hand at ice fishing alongside experienced an-glers. League members will drill holes and provide fishing equipment and bait if needed and lunch is included.

In Renfrew, the Castl-eford 7th Annual Ice Fishing Derby will take place on the Ottawa River from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Feb. 18. The char-ity derby attracts hundreds of anglers young and old every year, and this year will raise money for Renfrew and Arn-

prior Community Living. In Ottawa proper, the

Catholic Centre for Immi-grants will host an ice fishing fundraiser on Monday, Feb. 20 for their annual Commu-nity Cup soccer tournament. For $10, residents can enjoy a hot lunch, hot chocolate and access to bait and rods. The group will also drill the fishing holes and provide a warm shack for the anglers.

The group will meet on the Ottawa River between Masson-Angers, Quebec and Cumberland, Ontario east of Ottawa. Two buses will be available to take participants to the site, leaving from the centres headquarters on Ar-gyle as well as Catherine Street. The group is asking for a $5 donation to take the bus.

The ministrys fishing zone 15 includes Renfrew and Arnprior, and extends to Pembroke and Petawawa. Zone 18 covers all of Ottawa and North Grenville, extend-ing east to Hawkesbury and west to Belleville.

Anglers must check the conservation limits and fish-ing rules for their zone in the ministrys recreational fish-ing regulations guide before heading out. The guide is available online.

Editorial Policy

That was an amazing photo in the paper, showing a long string of buses backed up on the Transitway, while police and OC Transpo people tried to sort out the mess after a crash of two buses during rush hour.

You look at it and empathize immediately with the people who were injured but also with the people on those other buses. Because you can picture yourself in there, waiting help-lessly, wanting to get home. Or out in the cold, waiting for another bus while traffic piles up on Scott Street. Perhaps you can picture yourself angry, yelling at somebody to do something.

The interesting thing is that people didnt seem to be yelling at anybody. The passengers interviewed by local media were the opposite of angry.

It sucks but at the same time accidents are going to happen regardless so you just got to grin and bear it, one guy told the Citizen, as he waited for another bus.

Theres not much to complain about, said another. It happens, right?

Some people were getting a bit frustrated but most people were pretty calm about it, a woman told CTV Ottawa.

That calmness did not apply to the com-ments section of news websites, where many people used the occasion to vent spleen about OC Transpo. But they werent there when it happened and they wouldnt have been help-ful if they were. What matters is that the people in the middle of the crisis seemed patient and accepting.

Canadians are sometimes mocked for hav-ing these qualities as contrasted to the more

assertive Americans but they serve us well in times of stress. Its true that orderliness, some say meekness, is not a characteristic that makes for exciting movies, but those people are the ones you want around you when things fall apart.

I remember a brief power outage in June when the traffic lights went out at the corner of Carling and Woodroffe. Thats four lanes in either direction having to move through the intersection with no policeman in sight at rush hour.

In a different country, known more for its individualism, it would have been a festival of horn-honking, aggressive driving and crushed fenders. Here, it was a spontaneously orches-trated ballet of cars taking turns. No fenders were crushed. Now, afterwards, when the crisis had passed there might have been recrimina-tions in letters to the editor, on websites and open-line radio, but when the situation de-manded it, calmness was the order of the day.

Those who were around during the Ice Storm of 1998 will remember that too. Once the crisis had passed and we knew we would survive and get our toasters working again, some people began to complain.

Yet, when the crisis was on, we were patient, we worked together, co-operated, helped other people and generally acted like a real commu-nity. This is the enduring memory of that period and it is an accurate one. The bitching came later and we dont think of that so much.

It would be nice to think that a crisis always brings out the best in us. Its probably more accurate to say that it brings out the best in some of us and something less than the best in others. You have only to look at the recent Ital-ian cruise ship disaster to see vivid examples of both types of behaviour.

On a more everyday level, think about what happens when a flight is cancelled. Some people get on with their lives as best they can. Other people yell at the person behind the counter. Those are the ones you dont want behind you at Carling and Woodroffe.

Crisis? What crisis?CHARLES GORDON

Funny Town

Ottawa taxpayers are about to invest $2.1 billion in light rail.For all that cash, it would

be nice to see benefits beyond rails and stations.

City council cannot build in contract provisions that see the light-rail builders required to buy supplies locally and use local service providers because of the provincial Discrimina-tory Business Practice Act.

Requiring local purchas-ing could benefit the local

economy, and in a cycle of spending, would provide spin-off benefits to the taxpayers footing the bill.

The potential opportunities are staggering. While Ottawa may not be home to the steel mills needed to forge the actual rails, local companies could provide legal and finan-cial services, supply electrical systems and install them, and pour the concrete for tunnels and overpasses. Each of those local companies would in turn

need to contract with local services and suppliers.

And this is no fly-by-night project. The light-rail system will take years to build, mean-ing the jobs and investment would be around for a consid-erable period of time.

While the province bars any contract provision that discriminates based on the geographic location of a business, the city is trying to get local companies linked up with the light-rail consortia.

The city took a first step in the right direction by organiz-ing a trade show on Feb. 9 so local businesses could meet with the companies most likely to carry out construc-tion.

Coun. Steve Desroches said the city was acting as match-maker between the sellers and buyers.

With more than $2 billion on the line, a more formal process is needed if we dont want most of the spending to

head out of town on a rail.If there are no contractual

requirements to buy local, you can be sure the winning bidders will try and maximize their profits by buying the least expensive goods possible. That may mean companies from elsewhere in Canada, or internationally, will receive cheques while local businesses are left behind at the station, so to speak.

If we cant write a require-ment into the contract, the

city can make its preferences clearly known to the winning bidders.

No one is advocating buy local at any cost, but if an Ot-tawa-based supplier can come close say within 10 per cent of the outsiders price then the rail contractors should play favourites and purchase the local goods or services.

The city needs to sign, seal and deliver a contract that pays off for the winning bidders and pays off for taxpayers too.

Light rail contract should pay off for taxpayers

THiS WEEkS POLL quESTiONShould the city move to ban smoking on restaurant and bar patios?

A) Yes. Smoking is a hazard to public health and the city would be right to take action.

B) No. This is a case of over-regulation of private businesses.

C) I think the city should charge businesses extra to buy a licence to set up outdoor smoking areas.

D) Isnt it about time we just made smoking illegal anyways?

LAST WEEkS POLL SummARyIs the citys police services board right to limit its search for a new chief to internal candidates only?

A) Theyre the experts if they feel the right person is in-house, hire away.

B) No. It should be the citys policy to open up all job application pro-cesses.

C) If theyve identified qualified candidates this time, thats fine but we need to fix this in the future.

D) I dont care. I wont be chief at any rate so Im not interested.

Teens for Jeans at WCSS seeks good denim as part of driveBy THERESA [email protected]

EMC News Local high school students are doing their part to help the less fortunate.

West Carleton Secondary School (WCSS) students are running a Teens for Jeans drive. The aim of the drive is to provide jeans for homeless teens. Students in Canada and the United States are taking part in the initiative.

New or gently-used jeans are being collected at the high school, located at 3088 Dun-robin Rd., until Feb. 20. Jeans will then be delivered to Aero-postale, which will tally and distribute them to local home-

less shelters. Heading up the WCSS

campaign is Grade 12 student Mitch Simpson.

DONATION EVENTTeens for Jeans is a dona-

tion competition and fund-raiser, hosted by Aeropostale, an apparel retailer and doso-mething.org, a site dedicated to community involvement in youth, he explained. The goal is to raise the most pairs of jeans in our school out of any school in both Canada and the United States. There are prizes associated with first prize.

Simpson noted jeans are also being collected outside of the school with posters put around the local community. He lives in the Morgans Grant area and has put up signs in his area seeking more jeans.

Every pair of jeans collect-ed is distributed to charities across Canada and the United States, through Aeropostale, Simpson. The principal (Co-lin Anderson) of my school and many teachers support the campaign, and have allowed us to raise jeans in-school for the past week and a few days. So far, we have raised almost 300 pairs just from school stu-dents.

The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables,legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkalinefood. Unfortunately, North American people eat 95% acidic food(meat, noodles, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannotchange your diet to USDAs 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food,consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps toincrease your pH alkaline level close to a healthy 7. Ask for BellAcidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. Its inexpensive, has no sideeffects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many peopletake. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses.See guarantee printed on box. < Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in thechurch choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux andrejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC < Havefamily history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lotwith acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural,giving quick relief and having no side effects. Michael Fasheh, 49,Port Ranch, CA < Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4years had increasing reflux despite taking anti-acid products. I am also trying to eat more alkalinefood. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt.

There is a thrill to seeing a MockingbirdEMC Lifestyle - One of the

greatest pleasures I get from writing this column is hearing about your exciting encoun-ters with nature. I enjoy all sightings, which range from white Ermine chasing Flying Squirrels up trees to majestic Bald Eagles soaring overhead. I also enjoy hearing about birds visiting your backyard feeders. Sometimes those in-clude an oddly coloured bird, and other times, a puzzling stranger.

Recently Diane Perky from the White Lake area called me about the latter. The bird was near the size of a Blue Jay, was gray above and white be-low, and sported a white patch on its partly black wing. Two birds a Gray Jay and a North-ern Shrike crossed her mind but her visitor had a very dif-ferent bill. It was longer and more slender.

When I heard Dianes de-tailed description, I knew the bird could only be a Northern Mockingbird, a bird familiar to most visitors to the south-ern states. Mockingbirds, however, are quite rare in our area, usually being only en-countered in spring or sum-mer. They have nested locally at least twice and in the Ot-tawa area several times. Al-though occasionally found in Ottawa in winter, this is, as far as I know, the fi rst winter record for the White LakePakenham-Arnprior area.

Mockingbirds get their

name from their ability to in-corporate the sounds of other birds into their songs. They sing phrases usually in repeats of three or more, making them easily vocally distinguishable from Brown Thrashers, their close relatives, which sing notes in pairs.

Mockingbirds have been observed in Ontario since 1902 but the fi rst nest was not discovered until 1960. They had been principally found in the Banana Belt around the west end of Lake Ontario, but in recent years, they have be-gun a slow expansion north-ward. Perhaps global warm-ing is behind this expansion, as is suspected to be behind the range expansion of other southerners such as Red-bel-lied Woodpeckers, Carolina

Wrens, and Black Vultures. Mockingbirds are also no longer being captured for the pet trade, another reason for their increase.

In winter, Mockingbirds eat a variety of berries. Diane and Paul Petryk have observed their welcome guest dining on Yew and Juniper berries, as well as their suet. When I suggested she try feeding it raisins or fruit pieces, Diane provided some fresh raspber-ries, which were apparently received with great enthusi-asm. However, her strawber-ries went ignored.

Mockingbirds are notori-ously aggressive in defending their territories and nests. Ap-parently, this one has claimed the Petryk property as its own,

for it aggressively keeps other birds at bay. In particular, it has taken a strong dislike to a Hairy Woodpecker, which it mercilessly drives away at every opportunity.

Perhaps the woodpecker, which owns a lethal bill, is conjuring up ways to kill a Mockingbird!

A reminder that the In-nis Point Bird Observatory is having its annual fundraiser on Feb. 28, and I am the guest speaker. For a fi ne meal and entertaining evening full of bird talk, why not join me! Details can be found at http://www.ofnc.ca/events/IPBO-Fundraiser-Feb2012.pdf
