Teenage girl selected Junior Citizen of Year for heroism Debra Surman of Nestleton has been named one of 12 Jun- ior Citizens of the Year in a province-wide. program spon- sored by the Ontario Communi- ty Newspaper - Association (OCNA) .. Debra, 18, a grade 13 stu- dent at Port Perry High School, is one of 12 Junior Citizens se- lected from 120 nominees. * The awards were an- 'nouneed Monday by the OCNA and a spokesperson told the Star Debra was selected for "heroism and over-coming ad- versity." In mid-October 1988, De- bra suffered life-threatening in- uries in .a car accident near ewmarket. A passenger in the back seat, Debra managed to use her own body to shield her two-year old nephew Anthony who was in a "baby-seat" beside her. Anthony escaped the crash with minor injuries after thecar left the road and slammed into a hydro pole, but Debra spent the next 42 days in hospital fighting for her own life. Medical staff called her a . "living miracle" when she was finally able to leave hospital and begin a long and painful re- cuperation period at home. But through it all, she kept her spirits up and went out of her way to assist others. : Debra was nominated for the award by her mother Teresa who described her as "coura- us, thoughful of others and aving a never give up atti- tude." : For being one of the 12 win- ners, Debra and her family will attend the OCNA Convention : in Toronto next March. She will receive $200, a plaque, gold pin and have a family portrait with Ontario Lt. Governor Lincoln Alexander. ] Debra moved to Nestleton last July from her Stouffville, where she was very active in school organizations and sports. The Port Perry Star congrat- ulates Debra for winding this honour, and for her courage and determination. ER rE ek Cs ey i EN nt ss
