Bear in mind One important thing to “bear
ANOTHER NICE EARLY SEASON BROOKIE CAUGHT ON A WILLIAMS SPOON FROM MY SPORTSPAL CANOE
in mind” this spring in your travels afield, is that winter hibernation for Ursus Americana is coming to an end. During early spring, bears emerge from their dens hungry (and somewhat grouchy), and when berries and other natural forage is not available, they’ll eat whatever they can find. In some
cases, this could mean scraps of food around your campsite, so always be cautious and scrupulous about your camp area. It can be a precarious time of
year to travel in bear country, so try to be vigilant about food storage and preparation. In the event of a serious bear encounter, the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act has provisions for residents to protect themselves or their property, although the preferred option is to have an agent live-trap and relocate any nuisance bears. More often than not, you won’t have any trouble, but knowledge is power and being prepared is always your best line of defence. Until next time, best of luck in
the Great Outdoors. Jeff Morrison is an outdoors
columnist for the Ottawa SUN.
HEALTH continued from page 8
Does that mean treatment includes
showing scary movies while someone sits on your back and you try to breathe heavily at the same time? Yet another wants to sell you a
decompression belt, a.k.a. girdle. Just a guess here, but probably the most effective way to avoid hurting those mushy muscles is to a) avoid doing stupid physical things, and b) exercise the back muscles slowly and carefully. Mind you, there are some who
believe that doing stupid physical things is a form of exercise. Yes, it can be, the first time it’s done. Then when you can’t stand up, bend over, or twist, we call it something else. Like, painful. Aside from the sleeping-on-dirt
part, the ancient Yuzhhzags and their ilk likely had it right. You’ll have a strong back if you train it right. Mastodons not included.

DIARY continued from page 19
Kinzua Viaduct. Built in 1882 and billed as the Eighth Wonder of the World, it was, at 301 feet high, the tallest railroad bridge in the world. In 2002 a tornado careened down the valley and took out the southern half, making it a Bridge To Nowhere. Venturing out to the truncated observation area with its plexiglas floor is not what I’d recommend to those who fear heights. The rest of the day we travelled
east across the top of a very damp Pennsylvania, finishing up with a straight shot north to Cortland NY. Day Five found the group splitting
up so some could be home in Ottawa earlier than others. For those with flexible timetables, the ride went through the Adirondacks again. For others, it was a ride up Interstate 81 to Gananoque, and home by noon. All in all, it was another great
week on mountain back roads. No injuries or accidents to report, 2,373 km of quick riding, good food and great company.
