"Your complete electronics store" "David and I celebrated my 69th birthday by going up in a hot air balloon. Arnold Arnold Earl, an Ottawa Big Brother, is talking about the good times he has with his nine-year-old Little Brother, David McIntyre. "I was scared to have the feeling of it because once I got up it was pretty fun," says David. "You could see the exhibition. We were 300 feet higher than the CN tower tower in Toronto." "It's like floating in the air," adds Earl. "It's very relaxing. relaxing. We were up for two or three hours." The two share many activities activities including a hobby of stained glass, wood working, playing pool, reading, going to the movies and the circus and an enjoyment of music. Earl says being a Big Brother is a good way to see the world through a young person's eyes. He thinks maybe it can be a more rewarding rewarding experience in a senior senior than for a young man in his 20's. He adds: "The older Big Brother gets a chance to relate to another generation instead of getting stale." There is a common misconception misconception that men have to be young to be a Big Brother but that is not the case. Organizations Organizations throughout Ontario Ontario have Big Brothers in the 50's through to their mid ' 70's. Officials say the older big Brother makes an excellent volunteer. He comes to a young boy with a vast amount of experience and he often has time and interesting interesting hobbies to share. He spends an average four hours a week with a boy between between the ages of seven and 14. The main focus is to provide provide a male influence in the life of a boy from a father- absent home. v The Big Brother shares activities he is already doing with his Little Brother. This does not take extra time but means sharing the time that a man may now spend alone. This arrangement can provide a senior with some-, one to share his time with, particularly if he is widowed or his wife has other interests. interests. Earl shares his lifetime hobby of stained glass with David. He has helped David make a tiger ana a small Canadian flag for his mother. mother. "She likes them a lot," David says with a happy smile. They also share an interest interest in music. Earl, retired head of the music department department at Ottawa School Board, often plays the recorder recorder with David. Their latest latest project is building a desk for David to use while doing his homework. David has taught Earl about sports and science. "David's a sports nut," explains explains Earl. "He's been playing playing hockey five years. Last yèar he played baseball and this year it's soccer. Sports weren't my thing at all so what I know about sports David has taught me! He's also a science nut. You begin to see the world in a difler- y< r ent way. He's made a difference difference in my life." Earl's delightful sense of humor provides them with lots of laughs. He comes from a family of practical jokers and. says, "sometimes David's not too sure whether I'm pulling his lee or not." David replies: He's got 60 ears more experience blit !m learning some of his tricks." The two of them like to have snacks although Earl says "just watching him eat makes me get fat!" Earl became interested in the Big Brothers about 10 years ago when he was a volunteer at a distress centre. centre. Mothers would call in and ask what they should do to get more male companionship companionship for their son. He would recommend the Big Brothers organization. One time he asked a mother to call back and tell him how it worked out and he discovered what a long waiting list there was for Big Brothers. About five years ago he joined up and David is his . second Little Brother. He stresses they have a good method of matching Brothers and there is no problem trying to figure out what to do together. Says Earl: "The interviews they have are very enlightening. They learn your likes and dislikes, weaknesses and strengths." "By the time you meet for the first time you have a pretty good idea of what you can do together that will be enjoyed by both. David and I have never exhausted a list of things we can do together." together." "The Big Brothers organization organization has a good support, system. It's well staffed and always there if guidance is needed." Earl thinks the mother of the Little Brother plays a very important role. "David's "David's mother has a high set of values herself. We've never never talked about it but I think we're on the same wavelength." It's also necessary for the Big Brother's family to be supportive. Earl's wife, five grown children and two ■grandchildren consider David David part of the family. Seniors interested in the Big Brother program can contact the organization in their community.
