Boy Scout

A South Lake Tahoe 5th grader was honored Tuesday for his heroic efforts in helping to save a life earlier this year.

Gauge Patterson, who is also a Boy Scout, received the “Citizen’s Life Saving Award” from Mayor Wendy David for using the skills he learned at the “Stop the Bleed” training given by South Lake Tahoe Fire Rescue on April 23.

Carson Valley Cub Scouts Pack 33 presented Douglas County Sheriff Ron Pierini with treats for the deputies on patrol, jail and investigative personnel.

“I am delighted that you all came by to see us and we want to thank you for all the hours of hard work that you did to bring us these treats for us," said Sheriff Pierini. "You are our heroes because you thought of us and did this for us.”
