Ruppersberger Helps Kick Off "Be Prepared Central Maryland"

(Timonium, MD)- Congressman C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD) will honor a 9-year old Dundalk Cub Scout who saved his cousin's life. Nicholas Kulikowski will receive the "Heroism Award" at a special Boy Scout breakfast on Saturday, October 22nd, 2005, at the Timonium Fairgrounds. During a birthday party at Nicholas' home in August of 2004, the young man noticed his 4-year old cousin, Dylan, had jumped into the family pool. Dylan came up once but then sunk to the bottom. Nicholas dove into the water and pulled him out. Nicholas' actions prevented serious injury and saved Dylan's life.

Congressman Ruppersberger will also help kick off the opening ceremonies for "Be Prepared Central Maryland" sponsored by the Boy Scouts of America and the Central Maryland Chapter of the American Red Cross.
