"Not only can you get your mail there, but you can get your parcels too. "Communities where conversions conversions have taken place receive all the services and products they would receive at a post office."

Richards Rodney Tutak, a Grade 8 student at Bowmanville Senior Public School, has been nominated for the Ontario Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards. Rodney has been involved with the Scouting movement since his parents enrolled him in a Beaver Colony at age five. Since then, he has excelled ' in community service through his involvement involvement with Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. Currently he is a Beaver Leader and a Boy Scout. As a Beaver Leader, the boys in the Fourth Bowmanville Beaver Colony know him as a "KIM". His duties include planning meetings and outings, outings, and making up crafts and games for his Beavers. "Rodney is very faithful in helping each week," said, his nominator and mother, Donna Tutak. "I don't know of any young boy in our community, community, who has given and keeps on giving so much of his time to community work. He is in his fifth year as a Beaver Leader. "He spent three years as a "KEEO" and is in his third year as a "KIM". Most young hoys his age would have lost interest a Tong time ago," his mother said. But Rodney isn't just any young boy. He has been a busy one, as a look at his Scouting Blanket will tell you. He has badges from the Jamborees he has been to as well as the badges he has earned. Also on the blanket, in the prominent centre position, position, is his Gold Fitness Award from the Ministry of Health and Recreation. In addition to all of this, Rodney helps out at special occasions, such as Beave- rees, outings, Swim-ups, Apple Apple Days, Investiture and Trees for Canada. This year he is in charge of organizing a food drive with the Beavers for the needy at Christmas. In the past, he has helped with paper drives for recycling newspapers. And since the Environmental Day at Bowmanville Bowmanville Senior Public School on Nov. 28, he is going going to find some way to apply apply the knowledge gained to his volunteer work. "I have known Rodney personally for the past four years. As a Scout, if he continues continues towards his full potential, potential, he should receive his Chief Scout Award" wrote A.E. (Ted) Bumstead, on his supporting nominating form. "His behavior and attitude attitude towards the younger boys is, in itself, the greatest role model this district has." Mr. Bumstead's youngest son was a member of the Beaver Colony Rodney was involved with four years ago. Linda Sutherland, Rod- ' ney's Cub Scout Leader is full of praise for him too. "As his Cub leader, I ; found him to be very cooper- • ative and enjoyed having him in the group. He was, and still is, the first one there to help with anything ; that needed to be done, ana with any other boy who needed help. "His appetite for learning and experiencing by doing was insatiable." Rodney only found out i last week about his name being submitted to the Ontario Ontario Community Newspapers ' Association for this award. "When my mother told me, I was really excited • about this," he said. "It's a pretty good honor to be nominated. nominated. Snow Removal Help From Page One works from the chairman of the advisory advisory committee to Community Care, Roxann Brown, asking council to give serious consideration to implementing the service. "Community Care would be most interested interested in learning what the costs for such a program would be to the municipal municipal taxpayers," Ms Brdwn wrote. 1 Ms Barrie explained that there is a real concern that the health and morale morale of seniors sinks because of the isolation isolation imposed on them when they are unable to leave their house because of the snow. She quoted a Toronto Star article about a study carried out by a group in Calgary who discovered the greatest seniors have is related to the snow. . Most people don't have any problem stepping over mounds of snow after the plow has been past, she said. But seniors do. Community Care has a snow clearing clearing program in place now that costs the client $4 an hour to have their snow shovelled. However, as Mrs. Zealand Zealand noted, many seniors and disabled people don't have extra money to pay for such a service. Therefore, Mrs. Zealand thinks the town,should provide the service. She. noted that the City of Oshawa clears the walks for seniors and she believes the same should be done here. Councillor Larry Hannah, who chairs the public works agenda at council, said it is a "a very admirable idea" and would be nice to do but "at this point it is beyond affordability." He explained that the issue has come up in the past and not been adopted because of the diversity and size of the town. Ms Barrie echoed those remarks, saying snow clearing "would alleviate a lot of problems for seniors," but explained explained there are a number of seniors and. disabled.outside of the Bowmanville Bowmanville area. A report on providing the service will be presented to Newcastle Council in January. Rodney Tutak, of Bowmanville, is one of this year's nominees for the Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Award. These awards are sponsored annually by the Ontario Community Newspapers Association. Rodney was nominated chiefly for his work in the local Scouting Scouting organization. He is not only a dedicated Scout, but also a Beaver leader. 243 King St. E., Bowmanville Mall 623-6957 Rales subject to change That's A The Centre offers shoppers free gift wrapping from December 3 - 8 (3 - 9:30 p.m.) and December 9th (12 - 4 p.m.) Limit of 2 gifts per customer.
