20 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, April 5, 1988 Cheerleaders disperse to north Nestleton-Caesarea News by Mabel Cawker The Pleasure Of Our Feathered Friends Cliff and Chris Davis, Scott and Carleton of Hyde House, Scugog Point Road, are ecstatic over the number of birds living on their premises this past winter. The beautiful ten acre wooded property lends itself as a bird sanctu- ary...that is for sure! Chris, who tends faithfully to her feathered friends during the winter months has a feeling of sadness these days at the prospect of her "winter rainbow" disappear- ing, and no wonder. The different species at the feeder was amazing. Her feathered family included Car- dinals, Blue Jays, Grosbeaks, Finches, Mourning Doves, and of course the friendliest of all, the winter "cheerleaders", the chicka- dees. What living creatfire can match the optimism, cheerfulness and enthusiasm of the chikadees. And he will be that way all winter, through blizzard and freezing weather, no matter what! A bird 'that stays in wintry days; a friend indeed is he. And better than all the other birds, I love the chicka- Most of the birds will disperse, some to their northern haunts, other to the local area, as the nest- ing season approaches. Take heart - Chris, they will all be back in the late fall again to spend the winter with you.

Each year when she returns home, she is "brimming over" with all the fine qualities of the Western people. This year was no excep- tion! Since last year, oil has been dis- covered on the property, and while there Neta saw them drilling for oil, a depth of 4300 feet, produc- ing 80 barrels a day. Quite a novel experience for an Ontario resident. Her aunt Jane, who is in her ninties, is a remarkable person, busy making quilts and afghans during the winter months, and a terrific cook, making her own bread and butter, etc., and most . generous, she shares the goodies with the neighbours. She also drives the car...shopping 40 miles away is no hardship to her...she's well used to long distances. The Western farmers are worried this year, due to lack of moisture. Wells going dry, pasture for the herds drying-up, and the seeding to be done A bit of sunshine, a three hour drive to see Neta on the plane when she returned to Ontario and a good many relatives and friends made the long trip to give her that final hug, before taking off! Her Aunt Jane is celebrating her 92nd birthday on April 21st, so we wish her the happiest birthday ever. A lady of distinction, with a "host" of friends!
