for Junior Citizen Award
A local youth has been
nominated for a 2013
Ontario Junior Citizen of
the Year Award.
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.
