rural roost back in november of 96 tucked between stouffville and uxbridge don and his wife danielle along with son jeanpaul have taken to country life like a farmer to a field the rural dream came alive when they moved first from musselmans lake to stouffville and now to the place that has claimed their hearts taking me for the royal tour jeanpaul showed me around the 75acre property and shared his love for the country we explored the back fields by the barn and sat under a canopy of branches which jeanpaul said is one of his favourite spots taking the family van for a bumpy ride we crawled slow ly up a hill soaking in the scenery tall weeds were slap ping the vehicle when suddenly we came to an abrupt stop there in a clearing was the remains of a skilift from years gone by we both envied the skiers that must have had a ball using their private ski hill right out in their own backyard the old volkswagen engine that once ran the lift still sits slightly buried in the earth with the tow lines exposed on the surface the howling of coyotes calling their pack can be heard from these very hills whenever there is a full moon rural route ruth ruth le blanc music lessons the

soft needle carpet underfoot that is really appealing heading back we stopped at the barn and i was intro duced to the dumond menagerie there were chickens and turkeys and the cutest litter of kittens youve ever seen what started as a hobby to have fresh eggs for cooking has turned into eggdom shortly after moving in danielle got a dozen or so chickens just for the fun of raising them before you could say omelette there were more eggs than they could eat this was the birth of the dumond egg business and i am not yolking the sign at the end of the driveway advertises eggs for sale along with preserves that danielle has cooked up along with a career as a fulltime nurse at york central hospital danielle is one busy rural router like his son don the president of south lake simcoe scouting finds his new lifestyle very rewarding being a confessed workaholic there is never a dull moment for retired don who works constantly at the upkeep of the large property admitting that this isnt the life for everyone jeanpaul assured me this was definitely the life for him you can have computers and phones and fax machines and dabble on the internet while having all the benefits the country offers not the life for city slickers jean- paul explains but the perfect life and the perfect place for the dumonds calling for control h from page 6 lead to embarrassment one of the phones in our house comes equipped with a colourcoded trio of buttons to be used for one- touch access to essential numbers which in our case are fire police and 911 on a recent saturday my wife susan heard a knock on the door and was sur prised to find a pair of concernedlooking police officers standing there some amateur detective work led her to the abovementioned phone with its receiver lying unconnected on the floor it turns out those colourful buttons had proved irresistible to our oneyearold son griffin who had inadvertently issued a 91 1 call the little guy pulled the same stunt a week or so later but this time selected the button which calls the fire department needless to say we have now memorized all three emergency numbers leaving the little red green and blue buttons blank as for dabbling into the world of wire less telephone technology we have refused to join the growing numbers of phone freaks who cant go anywhere without their cell phone by their side the very thought of taking a call in the middle of a dinner out is enough to make us scoff disdainful- and based upon the number of times radio show interviewers and talk show hosts find themselves talking into thin air these mobile devices would appear to be a less than reliable means of communication anyway we have however found a recent gift of a phone with a wireless receiver to be quite handy in that you can wander throughout the house and even out into the yard with out running out of wire but when susan unknowingly drove off with the thing inher bag one day i was left scavenging the width and breadth of the house in pursuit scratching my head as a constant deployment of the electronic loca tor function proved fruitless i suppose that in the final analysis life is ultimately enriched by alexander graham bells communication device now if i could only find a way to keep the thing from ringing when its not supposed to uxbridge chamber choir performs an original work by canadian composer murray schafer
