Poor Richard

Volunteer service literally priceless Have you ever paused to wonder As you travel far and near; About the busy band of workers, The ones who volunteer! - Poor Richard's Scrapbook

Voluntary service is so valuable to its beneficiaries as to be literally priceless. Who can ever count what it's worth to an emotionally dis- turbed child to be taught to swim, or to an elderly shut-in to have someone do the shopping and drop in for a chat once or twice a week? In helping others, volunteers are helping the whole commu- nity and society to achieve a better lifestyle for all residents. A community could not survive without the work of dedicated volunteers. At one time the traditional volunteer was a middle-class housewife with time on her hands and charity on her mind. Back in the mid-to-late 1970s, this started to change and in her place came a wide range of volunteers. The new breed of volunteers included senior citizens with time on their hands, the unemployed who help maintain their You're looking at the northwest corner of Mosley and Berczy Streets, as it appeared prior to 1950. self-esteem by volunteering, teenagers to gain experience in Today, it's a parking lot.

As communities grow larger and larger, residents started to demand more and more services but they didn't want to pay higher property taxes.

Mayor’s Report By Tim Jones

The Youth Criminal Justice Act updated

At a recent council meeting, members considered a request to petition the Federal government through resolution to effect changes in the Young Offenders Act to lower the age of young offenders to 13, to stiffen sentences to a more meaningful term with the hope that the offenders would be more responsive to the law and to assure that youth would have to serve their full sentences. We were also asked to consider stronger, more meaningful sentences for second and third offences and that parents be charged for the cost of damages caused by a young offend- er. I advised council that The Young Offenders Act has been updated. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Youth Criminal Justice Act was passed by the House of Commons Feb. 4, 2002, received Royal Assent Feb. 19, 2002, and is expected to be proclaimed in April, 2003. The dominant underlying theme of the new Act is an I could not believe enhanced emphasis on the rehabilitation of young persons within the community and with the community taking a far more active role.
