Judi Forney Cottonwood artist Reminiscing bygone adventure These rainy days have me think- ing about some past days when we lived in our Mineral house full time. I am reminded of the opening of spring cleaning. In the cold moun- tains snow often still encased the cabins when spring should have already arrived. Yes, it was spring and it was still hosting snow around the cabin. The storms had taken a severe toll. Many house repairs and tree and limb removal was to be tackled. Our Mineral home had a visit from a skunk. It wasn't his first visit, but it was the one that really made an impression on us. Apparently this little member of the weasel family disliked the win- ter weather and chose to hole up in our cabin. On the occasion of this creature's previous visit, during the previous Spring, the critter sneaked through a hole in the fireplace and terrorized both the cat and me by running from bedroom to living room with my husband in hot pur- suit. This tiny, but powerful animal ran into the pump organ. I climbed on a chair, praying and screaming simultaneously that my spouse would not aggravate "Flower" into spraying. Finally the critter scampered back down the hole next to the fire- place. We promptly filled the open- ing with rocks. The cat and I, both suffering from nervous exhaustion, took a nap on the sofa. It seems that one skunk adven- ture would be enough for any mountain family, not so, again that year another member of the skunk species sought out our comfy cabin. This time the war was on. "Flower # 2," Chewed through the fiber board in the closet and let loose. He/She sprayed! One of our daughters's spent hours washing and washing and washing clothes. We sought advice about how to discourage skunks. We tried several methods; one involved putting moth balls under the house and in the walls. The effect was dramatic! Everything and everyone smelled of moth balls! The skunk left and so did we! We were busy airing out the house. This encounter did what it usual- ly does for me, it made me curious. I found some interesting facts about this particular kind of skunk. It was a "Western Spotted Skunk", has white hair in the fur and is distrib- uted in stripes and spots over the head, back and tail, instead of the straight white stripe which denotes the "Striped Skunk." The Western Skunk is usually from thirteen inch- es to 23 inches in length. They live in grasslands, brushy areas and woodlands. The diet they prefer is other small mammals, insects, and bird's eggs, some fruits and even ripe corn. Carolyn Barber Generally, skunks are docile animals, reluctant to use their powerful spray. Warnings are given, if you can remain calm enough to observe them: "arching of the back, stamping the front feet, clicking the teeth, shuffling backwards, raising the tail, and snarling softly." I believe our skunk did all of the above, we didn't recognize the actions as pre- cursors to the "big spray." As a last resort, they jet a ten foot stream of sulphur-containing alcohol, which can cause intense pain and even temporary blindness. The moral of this adventure must be, to build a stronger closet wall and never, misread a skunk's sig- nals. Hopefully we will not have heavy snow in the valley and absolutely no Skunks in the neigh- borhood. Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992. It appears on Saturdays.
