Citizen wins three awards The Scugog Citizen is an award-winning newspaper! We're delighted to announce the Citizen has won three major awards recently -- two from the Canadian C ity No lation category, across Canada, cammed the Blue Ribbon Award. In the CCNA's Special Competitions Categories, the 'W.C. Good Memorial Awards for Rural Writing'. The writing awards are offered by the family of W.C. Good, a Citizen was the only Sc ugog area / Brant County activist and writer Association (CCNA) and one from the Ontario Rural Learning The CCNA awards involve comunity newspapers all over Canada. The competition for them is fierce, and sometimes even the oldest, most well established newspapers are passed by. For the Scugog Citizen to win even one award, is remarkable because the newspaper is so In fact, the 'General Excellence' category (for tabloid newspapers with a circulation between 5,000 and 12,499), entrants were asked 10 submit two issues: one in February, 1991 and the other in October 1991. Obviously, the Citizen wasn't able to enter a February issue in the contest because the Citizen didn't even start publishing until June 25, 1991. Back in February, Citizep publishers were working for other newspapers, putting their best efforts into helping those newspapers become award-win- ners. "We didn't think we stood a chance, because we could only provide one of the two newspapers they needed," Citizen co-publisher John B. McClelland said. Byt they entered the October issue anyway. And when the results were announced last week, the Citizen was given the CCNA's Blue Ribbon Award -- which means the Citizen is in the top one-third of the class of older, established newspapers. Only 11 out of 33 newspapers in the Citizen's circu paper 10 win an ad ing award. This newspapers' advertising team of Valerie Ellis and Doug Olliffe won third prize for 'Best Advertising Idea', circulation 4,000 to 12,499, donated by The Publishers Idea Exchange, U.S.A. First prize went 10 a newspaper in New Brunswick; second prize went to a newspaper in British Columbia. The award-winning 'idea' was 'Everything I Need Is At The Port Perry Plaza Contest', a mix and match game that encouraged peo- ple to explore all the goods and services available at the plaza. The ad was three full pages in size, published last summer. "Without the support of mer- chants at the Port Perry Plaza, we never would have been able to bring this idea to print," advertis- ing director and co-publisher Valerie Ellis said. "Doug and I sin- cerely want 10 thank all the busi- ness people who not only made this award possible, but who have been so supportive of this newspa- per all year long." "We like to think 'ideas' are what make us strong. The beter our ideas are, the better business is for you, the advertiser. And if But the awards didn't stop | It was a triple-play week for the Citizen. In a completely different contest, writer and co-publisher Cathy Olliffe earned an hon- ourable mention in the Ontario Rural Learning Association's CRACKED WADSHELD PORT PERRY AUTO GLASS who helped found the United Farmers of Ontario party and served as a federal Member of Parliament. W.C. Good died at the age of 91 in 1967. The learning association is a non-profit organi- zation which promotes and con- ducts informal educational activi- ties throughout rural Ontario in an effort to improve the quality of country life. First prize went to Anne Haldane of Harrowsmith maga- zine; second prize went to writer Bob Verdun; third prize went 0 Brewster Kneen of Toronto for an article published in The Ram's Hom. Both Mr. Verdun and Mr. Kneen are previous winners. Honourable mention went to Cathy Olliffe for her report of the Canadian farmers national protest on February 21 on Parliament Hill -- 'Farmers vow 0 keep fighting for their futures' --in the Scugog Ciuzen. "Just to be mentioned in the same breath as "Harrowsmith' is a real honour," Mrs. Olliffe said. "I'd like to thank Karen Yellowlees who invited me, and the farmers who made me feel so welcome on that long, long trip to Ottawa. That protest on Parliament Hill is something I'll never forget. Keep fighting, guys." All three awards are especially nice, coming as they do during the Citizen's month-long first anniver- sary celebrations. Al this time, we'd like 10 thank all our readers and advertisers for making these awards possible, and for making this first year unforget- table! THANK-YOU SCUGOG!
