Invaluable Rewards for Big and Little Brothers Commercial Development- Hits Opposition at Council by Andrea Adair Mark Slemon got involved involved with Big Brothers for only one reason: he thought he could help. He realized that his life was running smoothly and recognized at the same time that someone else might not be as fortunate as he. "There was no pressure and no guilt involved. It was more of a feeling that maybe I can help." To one anxious six-year- old, he could help a great deal. Robbie Charbonneau, now "seven and a half", first met Mark in March bf last ear and has been meeting im once a week ever since. I- hr The experience of having a Big Brother has been, as Robbie said, "great". Big Brothers is a nonprofit nonprofit organization (supported (supported by the United Way) that brings a boy "from a father- absent home" together with an adult male in a positive manner of friendship. Nancy Scott, administrator administrator with Big Brothers of Newcastle, said the organization organization initially started in Canada for boys who were in trouble with tne law. Today, the emphasis is not on helping boys already in trouble. Rather, Big Brothers helps youngsters overcome current difficulties which could lead to prob lems in the future. "In many cases when the Little Brother starts, he has a low self-image," Mrs. Scott explains. Or. she said, he may have been let down by men in the past. This gives him a poor rapport with adult males. Because of his match with a Big Brother, he may start to feel a little better about men and may begin to develop a positive self- image. "I think that's the most important thing for them. We all need to feel we're great sometimes," she said. Being a Big Brother may also help build self confidence confidence in a younger male. Mrs. Scott said a boy starts to feel good about himself when he has someone someone who will take time to be with him and help him to do things, such as learning to skate, without being critical. That means a lot to Robbie Robbie too. He says that his Big Brother is "a nice guy" that he gets to see a lot. According to Robbie, Mark is a "very good Big Brother" who takes him out bike riding or to throw a baseball around. The friendship shared between between the two is apparent. Wesley and Joyce Gilbank of Lindsay will celebrate forty years of marriage on October first, 1989. Their family and friends wish them many more years of îappiness. «wail OUT OF WEAKNESS: STRONG r "Now faith is the sub-1 | stance of things hoped < 1 for, the ' evidence of > . things not seen.

Mark said there is "a lot of camaraderie" involved. "It's nice to have someone looking forward to spending time with you," he said. He does point out, however, however, that "it's never always blue skies and sunshine." He says people will always be busy and will feel the pressures of work and other commitments. Sometimes, he said, to be a Big Brother you have to sacrifice part of your time from other areas of your life. "Sometimes that's difficult." But at the same time, he said, "It's rewarding. You get a lot out of it." He said the rewards are sometimes small and the gains don't always show up quickly, but he would definitely definitely recommend becoming a Bik Brother to other men. "There are lots of little brothers out there who would love to have one (a Big Brother). They don't demand demand a great deal and you can offer them a great deal with very little." Mrs. Scott concurs. She said many Big Brothers start out thinking that they are going to be constantly giving but quickly find out . they get more back then they expected. There are many people, she said, that have a lot to offer to a boy. "Big Brothers really does make a tremendous tremendous difference in their lives. If I didn't believe that I wouldn't be here," she said. And Robbie will tell you, too, that even though he likes to eat cookies or other treats that his Big Brother buys him, it's not the treat that matters. "What counts," the grade two student said, "is people who care for you." At the present time there are 19 successfully matched Big Brothers and Little Brothers in the Town of Newcastle, but there are still 10 Little Brothers on a waiting list.
