Community Service

Today I want to make mention of one of those unsung community heroes, someone who goes about their business without fuss, day after day, making a difference to people around him. This fellow, in his spare time, becomes an honorary Town of Cambridge ranger, collecting litter from paths and lawns around his house without reward. He does say that his main motive is to look for lost money, cameras and watches, but at heart, he also wants to improve his street. I've also heard that most of the litter consists of fast food wrappers dropped by his son, but again, this doesn't diminish his commitment or the gratitude I express to him.

A Floreat street prior to our hero starting his rounds.

Another of his duties is to inform parking inspectors if any cars are parked in contravention of the rules. He is so dedicated to this role, that if he ever sees cars without correct permits parked in his favourite car park, he'll inform the authorities right away.

I sense an Order of Australia is being engraved right now.
