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.
