The Dorchester area has plenty of movers and shakers. Now it's time to call them out. From business owners to school teachers, elected officials to organization leaders, our town and area community are comprised of many people who deserve recognition for their work to improve their neighbors' quality of life.
As this year's hourglass begins to wind down, the Times wants to know which Dorchester area resident has contributed the most to his or her fellow citizens in 2007? In other words, who should be named Dorchester's Person of the Year?
We want your nominations. Tell us who gets your vote for Dorchester Person of the Year -- and why he or she is deserving of the accolade. Nominations may be submitted at the comments section of this story or sent to us via e-mail at Dorchester.Times@gmail.com.
The Times will officially name its Dorchester Person of the Year on Dec. 26.

ReplyDeleteJohn Bruha would get my vote.........Second choice goes to Sheryl at West Side......her expansion was a great improvement to our downtown in 2007.....
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree -- Carol Olson is definitely one that immediately comes to mind. Talk about one that does for others without a second thought. There are not enough Carols in this world.
ReplyDeleteIf no one remembers carol olson, won a award, she went to the state capital, and was awarded it there. She deserves it more than anyone. She gives to everything not only one thing, she should be the most apparent her.
ReplyDeleteI choose Sheryl from westside saloon.We met her and appreciate any new business brought to town.
ReplyDeleteHow about our volunteer firefighters and EMTs? They work to protect the community every day of the week and every day of the year. They get my vote.
ReplyDeletemy vote also goes with the volunteer fire dept. They are ready, willing and able to help any time day or night, often at personal sacrifice. They spend alot of time training and keeping up their skills
ReplyDeleteHow about Larry Burrows. It would be easy for Larry to cruise with his many years of teaching experience, but he continues to try new things. He is know doing something called layered instruction, or something like that. I know first hand that it is making a big difference for many of his students. Way to go Mr. Burrows, you are my nomination
ReplyDeleteHow about Bertha Zak, she has made many efforts on helping our elderly, she is a great role model, she has done much in her life time, she was nominated as a sun shine award, she may have not had much to do with the school, but she is move of a mover and a shaker than anyone that was involved with the school, she gets my vote,
ReplyDeleteI nominate Roger and Marilyn Wolfe!!! They are great people!!!
ReplyDeleteI nominate Corrine Tyser for the wonderful work that she has done for the community!!! She takes memorial boxes to local businesses to raise money for families who have lost loved ones!!!
