Page 32 The OSCAR - OUR 36 th YEAR DEC 2008
DEC 2008 By David Lawrence Sunnyside was on the stormy side. The sky forbidding and grey. The rain fell in torrents. It was marvellous weather for witches big and small. And where did the witches go on that Saturday afternoon in October? They went by the dozens to the bright warmth of the Firehall, there to celebrate the launch of the children’s book “Where Do Witches Go?” by author/poet Susan J. Atkinson and illustrator Elizabeth Todd Doyle. This illustrated book for young children asks—and maybe answers—the question in the title. In taking a whirlwind tour of the world, it imagines the places where witches go “when Halloween is over, and winter clouds bring snow”. And though we may never be sure exactly where in the wide world the witches do go, we know for certain where they come from, and that is from the imaginations of <strong>Ottawa</strong> <strong>South</strong> residents Sue and Liz who, with the publication of their first book together, have joined the illustrious artistic and literary talent who make their home in our sometimes fair and sometimes stormy neighbourhood. Looking For a Good Home By Mary Anne Thompson The OSCAR - OUR 36 th YEAR Page 33 And so it was, on that bleak and blustery October afternoon, that the poet, resplendent in an autumn-toned boa, and the artist, topped with a collandar for a hat, entertained a Firehall filled with devils, clowns, angels and, of course, witches, as they read the book aloud and signed copies, offering each of their fans their very Best Witches. Where Do Witches Go? is available at neighbourhood bookstores Kaleidoscope Kid’s Books and Mother Tongue Books, and elsewhere. Visit the authors at littlewitchpress.com. It’s very hard to see nice animals destroyed if their owners become allergic to them. These cats belong to a friend of mine and their future is very short if they cannot find another home. Félix (on the left) has medium-long black hair and has short legs. Quite independent, he likes to walk around and sneak about. He was rescued as a kitten from the street and he still loves to go outside but only stays in the back yard. He doesn’t like streets and cars. He is very friendly with people. Unfortunately, he’s friendly with mice and would not kill them or touch them. He doesn’t kill much of the wildlife in general but likes to play with insects. He’s 13. Ludwig (on the right) (he is called Loup - like wolf in French) is tall and long with medium-short black hair. He is very shy and takes quite his time before coming close but once he comes closer he really loves to be petted and get attention. He too was found in the street as a young cat but he never wants to go outside anymore. He doesn’t catch mice; he lets them eat his own food. He’s 9. They are both used to living together and are used to spending the day alone at home. But whenever people are at home after work or on holiday, they appreciate it very much. They are both very healthy, eat good food, play a lot still, and have had all their shots, are declawed and neutered. Contact me at oscar@oldottawasouth.ca if you have a home for these cats.
