Be Nice, clear your ice

Does the world know Ben Wicks, or was he just a Canadian (Ontario) treasure? He was a cartoonist, who took great personal interest in children's literacy and community service. He really was a treasure, and if the rest of the world missed out on him, I'm sorry.

From the time I was little, I remember winter commercials first from the Province of Ontario, and later the City of Toronto advising people to be careful following the blue-lighted snow plows (bloop, bloop) and to be nice and clear their ice.

Hi Dorothy, I often think of those commercials this time of year too.

I remember Ben Wicks! I think there was a book he wrote....perhaps, at mom and dads when I was a kid. It's probably still there. lol I'll have to ask mom to look for it tomorrow. :o)
