" Young Bryant, who will be 13 on Jan. 23, is a genuine hero, and he now has the medal to prove it. He says he was "stunned" when he was publicly honored for his heroic actions by the Boy Scouts of America. The son of James Robert and Luana May Bryant of 10174 Zinia Way in Sandy, he was presented the BSA's Heroism Award - one of 150 presented in the nation, and the sole recipient in Utah this year. Both the medal and and a certificate were presented to him at a court of honor in the Sandy Crescent North LDS stake center.

At that time he received a standing ovation from about 700 people in attendance. The heroism award recognized Jason's actions a little more than a year ago. Following the removal of full leg casts from both legs after surgery, young Bryant was sitting in an inner tube in a swimming pool at 1701 E. 4225 South in Holladay. He was watching several younger children playing in a larger inner-tub- e when he noted that his cousin, Marie Bailey, 3615 W. 3965 South, West Valley, was missing. The boy began a hurried search of the pool and looking under the inner tube in about five feet of water, spied a still form. "1 saw her at the bottom of the pool and reacted immediate ly," he said. Swimming to the inner tube about six feet from the edge of the pool, then diving to the bottom, he grabbed Marie and pushed her to the surface. He then swam back with her to the edge of the pool and removed her from the water. He turned her over on her stomach and initiated actions that removed the water from her lungs and air life-savi- passages - all this without assistance. When the girl began breathing again, and complained of pain in her chest, the boy's thoughts turned to something besides saving her life. "I thought I'd hurt her," he commented. What makes his actions even more notable is at the time, the boy couldn't walk. The operation he had undergone had broken both leg bones between the knees and hip, then the lower part of the broken bones were rotated about 40 degrees to correct severe feet to body positioning.

Granting a "forever wish" to a terminally ill youngster and his family can be both an emotionally draining and rewarding experience. Students at Eastmont middle school have chosen again this year to be a part of such a project. Beginning with an assembly today (Thursday), students will be asked to donate money to a organization called non-prof- it Tomorrow-Toda- y. The purpose of the organizagrant fulfillment of a dream to a child and his family who would not otherwise be able to do so. Assistant principal Bill Evans explained that last year the school raised $2,609. Five families were helped because of those donations, he said. "It's a special thing we like to do, especially at this time of year," Mr. Evans said. Tomorrow-Toda- y was established two years ago by four men who worked in the media and became aware of the needs of terminally ill children. Tom Barberi, Charles Gibbs, Patrick Greenlaw and Terry Wood began the program. from Currently representatives major children's hospitals, social workers, and many volunteers are involved. According to Charles Gibbs, president of Tomorrow-Toda- y and KUED director of development, 20 young people have received what he calls "their forever wish." He pointed out that nearly all the funds donated are used for those children, not for overhead. They are able to continue granting the wishes not only because of monetary donations but also because of donations from merchants. Children and their parents are told about the project by clinics, doctors and hospitals. Mr. Gibbs said that this service is for terminally ill children throughout the region up to age 18. He added that the organization is different from many of the other groups which are involved in this type of work. Tomorrow-Toda- y doesn't just focus on the child but - rather on the whole family, hoping to create good memories for the entire family. The dreams fulfilled are as varied as the children involved. Families have been sent to Disneyland, a snowmobile outing, a motor home tour through Utah's national parks and to see the Dallas Cowboys play. Sometimes the wish is a simple one truck such as riding in an or having a video tapeplayer. "This is not an easy task, but it is a very rewarding task," Mr. Gibbs explained. The satisfaction that comes from it makes the effort worthwhile. Anyone wishing to know more about the organization or wanting to make donations can contact Mr. Items may Gibbs at KUED, also be sent to Barberi at KALL radio. Mr. Gibbs is willing to visit schools and social groups who would be interested in raising funds for the project as Eastmont is doing. He added that anyone who becomes involved will have a very emotionally rewarding experience. tion is to in-ki- Published weekly by Diversified Suburban Newspapers, Inc. 155 I. 4905 South Murray, Utah 84107 USPS Second Class Postage Paid At Salt Lake City, Utah 454-38- 0 Postmaster: Send Address Changes TO GREEN SHEET f m0 UliliUMM Mill ' fc f ir - 155 East 4905 South Murray, Utah 84107 s HMfT Joson Bryant proudly displays the him to by the Boy Scouts of America for Award presented Heroism from cousin drowning. his rescuing Subscription Rate: $12 Per Year SITTING PROUD . . .
