The approach of Shrove Tuesday brings notice of pancake dinners across the community. Check the posters below for Northlea United Church and St. Cuthbert’s Anglican. But the jug-toting country folk (upper left) featured in the Leaside United Church pancake alerts may wish to identify themselves. These happy country folk appear each year with maple syrup in hand to herald the LUC dinner. To the right, mystery writer Ken Ogilvie was telling gathered fans at Sleuth of Baker Street this week that he re-invented himself in order to live the much-admired life of a published author. He is an environmentalist and among other occupations worked at Pollution Probe. His current book is Her Dark Path published by Joffe Books. Lower left, there’s an appeal on Leaside Community to see if anybody knows this coal-coloured guy. And Maurice Cody parents are warning all students and youthful moms and dads it will soon be time to Dance, Dance, Dance. Check it out.
