Evidently the cowbird uses squatter's rights in any nest. For a long time we have dreaded the appearance of two pests the gypsy moth and the earwig. They have both arrived. Until last week I had never seen an earwig and it was far away from here. Then, one appeared appeared here in the house.

Jim Read, the head of science science at Donevan Collegiate in Oshawa, recently travelled travelled to the Kingston, Ontario Ontario campus for the intensive program of lectures, field trips and social activities with a group of 24 of his colleagues colleagues from across the country.

But these teachers did not live by science alone. According According to Read the socializing socializing proved to be just as stimulating stimulating as the labs and lectures.
