BY MICHAEL DIVITTORIO Members of the Clairton community were honored for making the city a better place.
Officials handed out 21 out­standing citizenship awards at Tuesday night’s council meeting.

Each of the five council members selected citiz ens in their ward who have made a difference. Awardees included members of nonprofit groups, cleanup helpers, youth foot­ball leaders and volunteers.

“They really do stuff with kids to bring them into adult­hood to make them better citizens, but nobody would recognize them,” Councilman Richard Ford said. “They’re not recognizing people who are running down to the little league field and giving (play­ers) a ride home, and making sure they g et equipment and a ride to the football game. T hese people do that kind of stuff out of their own pockets, and out of their own interest of the kids. They don’t get paid for it. They just do it.”

The outstanding citizens are Robert Alderson, Wil­liam Bradford, Francie Scruggs, Paulette Bradford, Kathy Ulmer, Nick Nickol­ich, Domenic Virgona, Cathy White, Jeff and Robin Thomp­son, Bessie James, Janella Hamlin, May Sutton, Richard Ford, Wayde Killmeyer, Joyce Hammons, Pauline Long, Kathy Kovton, Ilene Rossi, Ross Tuttle and Rudy Sanu­telli.

“I really felt every citizen in this town should have got­ten this award,” Councilman Terry 
Julian said.

It was standing room only in the council chambers for the presentation.

“It was people supporting those people who were getting awards,” Ford said. “I said, ‘Hey, what did we do to get all these young people at the council meeting?’ It’s a good thing.”

Council approved the follow­ing appointments:



•
Nicholas Nickolich to a five-year term on the Clairton Municipal Author­ity.

• Valerie A. Pavlick-Gnazzo to a four-year term on the planning commission.

• Marjorie A. Davis to a three-year term on the zon­ing hearing board.

•
Donald Amzi Lightner to a four-year term on the vacant property review com­mittee.

•
Joseph Julian to a three­ year term on the zoning hearing board.

Council accepted propos­als from Tri Eagle Energy to purchase electric genera­tion services for various city accounts.
