Dani Iaconeta of Buxton admires the gold medal that she received as part of Special Olympics Maine’s Young Athletes program at YourSpace in Gorham last month. Young Athletes was created to provide developmentally and age appropriate introductions to sports to children with intellectual disabilities ages 2 1/2 to 7 and siblings who do not have intellectual disabilities and are in the same age range are also encouraged to attend. For more information on this free program, contact Lisa Bird of Special Olympics Maine at 879-0489 ext. 15 or visit www.specialolympicsmaine.org.
