Seventeen -year-old Jaymie Feltrin of Bayfield was nominated by Mau- reen Munden of Clarksburg. In her nomination, Munden said Feltrin has been a volunteer with a Special Olympics basket- ball team for four years in the Meaford-area. "She attended practices every Tuesday evening and she has joined us for parties and other social times," Munden wrote. "Jaymie has been a ded- icated volunteer on our basketball team...her dad is our assistant coach and it has been a nice connec- tion for them. Jaymie is fun and quiet at the same time. She accepts our athletes for themselves and treats them with kindess and ease. She has been a friend for some of them and made the social nature of the team more fulfilling for the athletes:' Munden said Feltrin's level of play has helped to raise the overall skill level of the team, and she has "encouraged everyone to excel." Asked in the nomination form what she believes Feltrin received from vol- unteering with the team, Munden wrote, "It can be a challenge to play on a team of people with intel- lectual disabilities. Each athlete has a different skill level and Jaymie worked hard to accept and include each athlete:' Munden also described Feltrin as a "quiet leader" who didn't ask for a lot of attention for her role but is always willing to help. "Jaymie's ability to 'not judge; her acceptance of others who are different and her fun, quiet quirky nature have been great to be around. We truly miss her this year." According to a press release, the Ontario Junior Citizen Awards aim to rec- ognize outstanding young people, ages six to 17, who are performing worthwhile community service, are contributing to their com- munities while living with limitations, have per- formed acts of heroism, or are "good kids" who are making life better for oth- ers and doing more than expected of someone their age. The final list of recipi- ents will be announced on Jan. 24.
