! would like to nominate Pat Ropars, Saturna Island’s road maintenance foreman, for an
Individual Community Stewardship Award. I know it is Pat’s job to attend to the road in
all types of weather good or bad, day or night, that is not why | am nominating him. It is

the little extra things he does that cavse me to write.

East Point, the area of Satuma Island where I live is sparsely populated at the best of
times and much Jess in fall and winter. Coming home on the ferry during winter storms
we know that Pat will have done a road check just before the ferry docks and the road to
East Point will be open; if it isn’t it soon will be. Pat instills in those of us out here a
sense of being safe especially for the elderly who reside in the area. When the power is
out if someone's generator is not running and it is obvious they are home there is a phone
call from Pat to see ifthe person is ok, do they need a hand to get the generator going. .
Some who have slid into the ditch know that Pat will be able to assist them in getting |
back onto the road again. When clearing snow from the road, the bank of snow from the
blade at the side of the road blocks driveways making exit difficult. Pat removes that
bank from those who are elderly or infirm allowing people to easily get out of their
driveways or emergency responders quick access. ] worked nights a
