Clinton News-Record, 1969-05-22, Page 88 ,GIinton Nears-11ecf�rdThur$daY, May 22t J909 Buyfieh.I councillor quit.s over policy differenc.es Village council accepted the resignation of Councillor Jack Sturgeon "with regret" at a special; meeting last week, Mr, Sturgeon sent a .letter of resignation to egl.}ncil last week because of whet .he described as a disagreement with other members over "general, council. business and future policies." ll a Vierg clerk, rk, Mrs, Phyllis Maloney, said. Friday the vacancy probably will be fined this week. She said council may select anyone from the community to fill the post. One citizen has been asked, she said, She refused tQ reveal his identity. Mx. Sturgeon, who said he. may run again for council in this year's December elections, said he was disappointed that he was not invited to the special meeting. He said he didn't know it had been held until. he received a letter from the .Olerlt Thursday acknowledging acceptance. Mr. Sturgeon said he didn't intend to return to council this term even If council members had asked hire t4, but he Wanted to present his reasons for resigning at a meeting, "Maybe it was just as. well that I wasn't there," he said. "I might have said something that would have embarrassed someone. Bayfield is a small community and we all have to live together." M. Sturgeon would not elaborate on his reasons ,for resigning. "I have differences over some things," he said. "But I'm not saying I'mright and they are wrong -- just differences." Truck spills salty fluid A truck hauling 53,000 gallons of liquified calcium chloride overturned about 3:3U a.m. Saturday while rounding a curve on Highway 21 in Bayfield, spilling its entire contents over a Small park just off the highway. The driver, Alvin Wigle, 37, of RR. 3, Cottam, was treated for cuts and bruises at Alexandra Marine and General Hospital in Goderich and released, Damage to the tractor and tanker units, owned by Pollard Bros. Ltd. of Harrow, was estimated at $12,000. Three members of the Bayfield volunteer fire department spent more than three hours hosing down the spilled chemical, used in controlling dust on unpaved roads. onnnnuuuuluuulrruor• unnitUnarnniutlmuuinuunnnuurAnurnnnnnnnuurlJrulnunuuuiunr_ RamblingLucy with = Bird -watching is a most fascinating recreation as Lucy well knows from the little bit she is able to indulge in it from her chair at the dining -room table. Last week guests watched a pair of Baltimore Orioles amongst the blossoms in Bell's cherry tree. Systematically they poked their bills into each blossom on a bunch looking for and finding insects. Only one pair in a large tree when 20 odd years ago there would have been several pairs or a small flock! As they worked assiduously for food, Lucy remarked that it was such a pity that the balance of nature had ever been upset by spraying fruit trees. The poison spray has killed the bird population and our song birds decrease in numbers every year. "The orchards used to be'full of warblers," remarked a visitor, "and now they are becoming rare in this district." Lyle Hill, who feeds the birds both winter and summer, had a flock of pine grosbeaks pause for feeding the third week in May. And a pair of rose -breasted grosbeaks are probably nesting on his property as he sees them frequently. Lucy was surprised the same week to note a brown thrasher at the feeding station. She has often heard their turkey -like calls in the summer but only once or twice glimpsed one in the shrubs at the back of the garden. She also sighted a Harris' sparrow at the feeding station. ,Mr. and Mrs. P. H. DuBoulay have, perhaps, spotted more birds than anyone else in Bayfield. Their list for their second year, since September 1968, stands at 103 at time of writing. They saw a red-headed woodpecker at the village dump, and on the flats up the river a pair of green herons, and a pair of Buffle Heads. On May 16 Mrs. DuBoulay identified a Cape May Warbler in Bell's cherry tree. Guests of Canon and Mrs. F. H. Paull, "Camborne House" from m Friday to Tuesday, were her sister, er, Miss Carrie Dixon, and Miss Mary Secord, Brantford. They are members of the Brantford Nature Club. Miss Dixon is past -president and Miss Secord edits the club publication, "The Brant Goose." They were, Birding at Long Point from May 11 to 16, chiefly to observe the migration of warblers. The highlight of their trip was identifying a pair of red•bellied woodpeckers. This is a southern bird which is sometimes seen along Lake Erie but which Miss Secord had never sighted before in 25 years of Birding. It has been reported to the Federation of Ontario Naturalists. The ladies stayed in Port Rowan but went to certain spots where they sat quietly under trees and the birds appeared as if from nowhere and on other occasions they hiked and sighted others. Some of . the birds are common but besides the red -bellied woodpecker they sighted dozens more species. In and near Bayfield they were delighted to sight a pair of red-headed woodpeckers, scarlet tangers in more than one location and a thrush which they thought was a Brown Thrasher sitting on her nest.
