4- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, October 7, 1997 OCNA seeking a few good kids for its annual Junior Citizens Awards Each day in Ontario, a young person displays courage 1n the face of adversity, performs an heroic act or offers a sim- ple gesture of kindness. Nominations are now being accepted for the 1997 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards - program, sponsored by this newspaper and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association (OCNA). Since 1981, the program has paid tribute to young people between the ages of six and 18. Some are recognized for the service they per- form in their communities or for their heroic respons- es in times of crisis. Others display courage and tenacity as they strive to overcome the chal- lenges of living with a dis- ability or illness. Or they may exemplify the quali- ties and characteristics of a "good kid." Up to 12 people are cho- sen to receive the award, presented by Ontario's Lieutenant Governor dur- ing a special ceremony held in Toronto. This isn't a competi- tion. There are no winners or losers because each nominee - and there are hundreds each year - is a "star" in his or her own right. All nominees are presented with a certifi- cate stating that they were nominated for this distinct honor and have contribut- ed greatly to their com- munities. Nominations have been received from service clubs, schools, volunteer groups, churches, sports organizations and indi- viduals. Forms and further information about the Junior Citizen program can be obtained from this newspaper or OCNA by calling (905) 639-8720. Nominations will be 'accepted until Oct. 31. RIPE FOR THE PICKING: Many people were outside this past weekend enjoying what possibly could be some of the nicest weather left in the year. While many people flocked to local parks and other community areas, some families took advan- tage of the beautiful weather and visited some of the township's apple orchards.
