10 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, December 28, 1988 OCNA announces Junior Citizen winners Ontario's Junior Citizens for 1988 have been selected. Ontario Community Newspa- pers Association (OCNA) presi- dent Harry Stemp (publisher of the Uxbridge Times Journal) an- nounced the 12 award recipients December 9, after they were cho- sen from among 117 nominations submitted by member newspa- pers. : Unfortunately, Port Perry's onl nominee, 17 year old Tracey Mol- lon, was not among those select- ed. The Star was extremely disap- pointed with the results, because employees were confident Tracey had more than enough qualifica- tions to win the award. Still, Tra- cey is to be congratulated for her devotion to her work at Central Seven, to karate, to school, and to wo Although everyone at the Star thought Tracey Mol- lon was a"shoe-in for the OCNA's Junior Citizen of the Year Award, contest organizers regrettably didn't agree--there were just so many entries this year! Still, Tracey deserves a warm thank-you from this community for her efforts in making it a better place to call home.

Mr. Stemp praised both the awards recipients and the other nominees. "They can all be proud of their accomplishments," he said.
