hear the silence broken by a loud cukcukcuk call coming from a nearby ridge or stand of large pine to the unfamiliar ear it may sound somewhat like the call of a hardy flicker that for reasons we can only guess has decided to spend the cold weather months there but as you listen to those clear repetitious notes echoing across the leafless forest you begin to realize the sounds are different than those made by the more familiar flicker for one thing like the many moods suggested by your remote surroundings the pace is slower the notes lower pitched yet with greater volume often this initial outburst is followed by some heavy pounding implying a cottager just over the next rise has decided to make some offseason alterations the mystery deepens however when you gain the top of the ridge for in the vast area of woodlands that unfolds there is no sign of human habitation just as surprising theres often no sign of the callmaker either this is not unusual for in many instances the sounds

woodpecker a vet this crowsizedni woodpecker with the flaming redui crest has recovered from thelq status of a rare bird and is now as common in the older wooded sec- tions of this province as it was j when the european settlers arrived i and while the clearing of its forest habitat played a large part in the birds disappearance such a large brightly colored attract tton was all too often collected by early naturalists or market hunters i when you come upon the work- m ings of the pileated woodpecker you can be sure you are in a mature forest or at least amongst trees that are the remnant of one the very size of this big bark j dinger suggests the need for large trees to peck out an- existence its visits to rotting logs and decaying stumps leaves a scat tering of wood chips lying about j as it tears into the punky wood for the grubs and ants contained therein more often than not these excavations take on a recj tangular shape rather than the usual round hole routings of the- other woodpeckers the extent of these pockets also serves notice they are the achievements of a largesized i creature the cavitiesij themselves frequently measure j four inches across and may follow theeontours of the tree in a j- chiselled vale for a length of a- foot or more g while these visible holes are feeding places the actual nest- cavity is hollowed out in a separate tree with its inside- dimensions being large enough for a nesting wood duck and though we have some resiuj dent pileated woodpeckers on our farm here ive never been- able to duplicate the encounter i had with one

tent onall fours time the key issue j at meeting j a most entertaining speaker in j the person of jake smith was discovered by the whitchurch- 1 stouffville historical society i wednesday evening most longtime residents of stouffville are familiar with jake as a clockmaker and jeweler but j now a new career as public speaker awaits him as well as being entertaining he was most informative on the subject of an tique clocks j on display was the skeleton of j the first clock he ever made as j well as his latest creation he spent most of this past winter cut ting gears and wheels from brass with the gear cutter made by his teacher gerry smith more than 60 years ago he told the assembled group of 28 hed maintained the clock in the tower for over 37 years this is a clock to be proud of he said it was made by british company gillettjohnston by royal war rant clockmakers and founders to his majesty king george v it was donated by elizabeth percy in memory of her father rev william percy paster of ringwood bloomington altona and churchill christian churches for 30 years the clock in its j tower was dedicated in the early 1930s the roof leaked once and the repairmen were called in after working for a while the head of the repair crew went to town clerk george storry and asked if they should remove the large bell up there that didnt seem to be doing anything the clerk was wise enough to check with jake who after a mo ments thought told him if they wanted the clock to strike they had better leave the bell in there other business discussed at the meeting included a presentation from david barthau on the loss of the name main street and the implications this may have on the future the idea of having a memorial plaque created to replace the one long gone from sangsters grove was also brought forward the missing sign appears to have been between two trees on the west side of the pavillion in the park the historical society would like to help keep the namo sangster known in whitchurchstouffville the next meeting will be may 24 at 8 pm the speaker is jim thomas editor of the stouffville tribune
