Winter is almost here
Have you been shop-
ping this fall for your new
winter coat? Some new
boots? Mitts? A fur hat?
If you are smart, you
are probably getting
ready for the cold and the
snow. Dadmay be put-
ting some extra in-
sulation in the house
walls or piling up some
extra wood for the
fireplace. Mom might be
storing away fruit and
vegetables for the time
when the garden is under
snow. Maybe she's
cleaning the windows just
once more before it is too
cold for that job.
Well; animals get ready
for winter too.
Dear Captain Comet,
My name is Dawn
Michelle McWhinney. My
birthday is Tuesday,
November 28 and I will be
2 years old. I live at 259
Gibbons Street with my
parents who are Jim and
Gail McWhinney. I also
have two sisters, Joanne
and Anita and a dog
named King.
Thanks for putting my
picture in your column.
Love, Dawn McWhinney.
Did you know the
squirrel 'wears a pair of
ear muffs? Well he
does...and he doesn't
have to worry about
losing them either. The
squirrel's ear muffs are
thick tufts of long, dark
hair that grow on the tips
of his ears in the fall to
keep his ears warmer
during the winter.
Most animals get new
winter coats, but they
don't go to the store to
buy them. They get them
by growing an extra
thickness of hair.
That isn't even enough
for some animals. The'
Brookside
happenings

On Tuesday, November
14th, the Grade 8 students
took a bus trip to Toronto,
accompanied by Mrs. Ander-
son and Mr. Jewitt. They
saw the CN Tower, the Royal,
Qntario Museum and walked
down University Avenue to
the Parliament Buildings.
While there, they saw Mr.
Murray Gaunt, MPP, and
Jeffrey Fillmore, their class-
mate, who has beep serving
as a page at the Parliament
these last few weeks. All in
all, the students enjoyed the
trip and gained a lotfrom it.
Schoolthockey has started
for anotheh,s ason. There are
three boy's teams: Butchers,
with captain Steve Alton;
Flyers, with captain George
Alton; Flames, with Jamie
Bere as captain. The first

snowshoe rabbit is
greyish -brown in the
summer, but when e
winter comes, he chang
to pure white, except fo
the long black marks on
the tips of his long ears.
The weasel is brown in
summer, too, but white
all winter...except for a
black tip on his tail.
These animals have a
special reason for
changing their coat color.
If they stayed brown,
their enemy, the hawk,
could spot them in the
snow a long distance
away. But their white
coats make them really
difficult to find.
Some animals, like the
bear and the woodchuck,
sleep all winter. Just like
your mom, they store
their food away...but the
bears and woodchuck
stoie it in their tummies.
They get ready for their
long sleep by eating a lot
of food in the fall and
getting quite fat. Their
bodies give off the fat
during the winter.
And some of nature's
creatures don't stay
around for. the cold winter
months. They go south.
Most birds migrate by
goingsouth for the
winter.
But birds aren't the
only ones that migrate.
So does the fur seal. It
spends the summer on
islands in the Bering Sea,
just west of Alaska. But
when winter comes, it
swims as far as 3,000
miles southeast to spend
the cold months in the
warmer waters along the
west coast of the United
States.
Are you ready for
winter?
