In September 1992, the paper boy found a baby waxwing and brought it to my door. He couldn't fly and I think he fell from the nest. However, I took him in and kept him for 6 weeks. I fed him raisins, blueberries, apples, and corn. I would let him out in my bedroom (as we have two cats) and in a short time he was flying around the room, eating out of my hand, and coming to me when I talked to him. Well the time came when I had to let him go, so I took him out to the back step in my hand. After a couple of shoves, he flew away and part of me went with him. (E. Sonier, St. Eleanors)

P.E.I. BEACH SWEEP by Sharon Labchuk

The unique beauty of P.E.I.'s shoreline is one of the special reasons our province is so charming. This charm is threatened, however, by the increase of marine debris and litter along our beaches. Concerned Islanders will be taking a stand against these threats by participating in the Maritime-wide shoreline clean-up program, the Moosehead Maritime Beach Sweep and Litter Survey. Beach Sweep is organized by Moosehead Breweries Ltd. and, in Prince Edward Island, the Environmental Coalition of PEI.

The clean—up has two components:

1. To collect garbage found on our beaches and help make the marine

environment safer for all living things; and

2. To document all debris collected. Specially designed data collection cards are provided so that participants can record their findings. These statistics provide information about the amount and sources of marine debris. This data can be used to inform polluters and to assist them in finding means to reduce marine debris and beach litter.

The P.E.I. Beach Sweep will be held during Environment Week, June 5 to 13, although there will be some flexibility for groups not able to participate at that time. ECO-PEI will assist local groups to organize a clean-up on their chosen stretch of shoreline. We will supply the local coordinator with a kit, including a "guide to organizing a successful shoreline clean-up", posters, sample media releases, data cards, and garbage bags.

Whether your clean—up group is you and your family, a girl guide troop, or a Women's Institute Chapter, everyone can play an active role in keeping our beaches safe and clean. If you would like to coordinate a clean-up in your area, please call ECO-PEI at 566-4696 or Sharon Labchuk at 675-3296.
