Heroism by Angela Burden SHAW MEDIA NEWS SERVICE A bronze medal is being struck to honor late Algonquin police officer Larry Holder, who posthumously has been named for the Carnegie Medal award in recognition of his heroism. Holder drowned July 22 trying to rescue a boy when he lost his footing and was swept into a "flooded creek following a heavy rainstorm. The Carnegie Hero Fund com­ mission decided Holder's heroism was deserving of the award, which comes with a $2,000 cash benefit. His mother, Dorothy Holder,.will be given the medal and cash. "I think it's just terrific. We're gratified he was recognized for the award," Algonquin Police Chief Kenneth Bartels said. Holder's fellow officers nominated him for the Carnegie Medal award. "That's really what his fellow of­ ficers thought ... he was a hero," the chief said. > • The Carnegie Hero fund was created in 1904 by Scottish born An­ drew Carnegie, U.S. industrialist and philanthropist, who provided the Carnegie Music hall, Carnegie library and Carnegie Tech. "He believed a man or woman would not suffer risking their life when not obliged to do so," Walter Rutkowski, investigation manager of the commission, said. He said the award is given specifically to a civilian. "Mr. Car­ negie felt the military had its own organization for recognizing heroes." Rutkowski said the medal is not usually awarded to a police officer or fireman. "It normally is k general part of their duties to enter a burning building or apprehend an. armed robber. "However, our investigations and extensive documentation in the case of Officer Holder show he clearly acted above and beyond the call of duty in attempting a rescue in water," Rutkowski said. a I To Officer He said th^e 21-member commission decided on/the award to Holder. "Primarily, to receive the medal a rescuer must risk his or her life in an attempted rescue when the victim's life is in danger," the chief in­ vestigator said. He said Carnegie's award is based on the Bible verse of John 15: 13 "Greater love hath no man than this. That a man lay down his life for his friends." Rutkowski said the bronze medal is beihg struck individually in Holder's name with his herotic act specified. In 1982, 97 people in the United States and Canada were awarded the medal by the commission, which has several thousand nominations each year and awards less than 100. Ironically, the Illinois Police association denied full death benefits to Holder's family after ruling the officer's death had not been by "violent means." Hold "Death, / , * * Dying" Seminar Faith Presbyterian church, 2107 W* Lincoln road, announced the begin­ ning of a six-week seminar on "Death and Dying", which will begin Sunday, Jan. 9, at 9:30 a.m. Specialized speakers will be featured each week to discuss dif­ ferent problems and concerns relative to death and dying. Topics scheduled for six consecutive Sunday morning sessions include "The Christian View of Death", "Coping with Grief and Loss", "A Doctor Looks at Death - Euthanasia", and "A Funeral Director's Perspective of Death." Anyone interested in the seminar is encouraged to attend. The church is located next to the outdoor theatre, at the intersection of Lincoln and Chapel Hill roads. Surviving Fire There's more to surviving a home fire than waking up before it's too late. Just-awakened people, including children, are often confused, apd may panic in the excitement. The safety of all may depend on knowing in­ stinctively what to do. Home fire drills may sound silly, and a seridus fire is no fun to talk about, but a little time spent selecting escape routes and practicing what to do if the detector goes off may save lives if fire ever comes to your home. l_Walk through the main escape route several times. Try it in the dark twith eyes closed. Memorize the nber of steps between obstacles or ns. If a piece of furniture keeps ting in the way, move i|/to clear the path. , 2--Plan alternate ways of escape from each room. If the main route were blocked by fire or impenetrable smoke, how would each family member get out? If bedroom windows are too high for safe jumping, perhaps you should buy rope or chain escape ladders to keep at a window in each bedroom. 3--If you must go through a smoke- filled area, crawl on hands and knees, with your head low to avoid breathing „ smoke. 4--Before opening an insfde door, touch the knob and the top of the door. If either feels hot, don't open oor. FiFe on the other side might flash into your room. Use your secondary escape route. 5-- Agree on a place to meet outside the home, so you can count noses and be sure everyone is safe. 6--Don't call the Fire Department from the burning home. Get out safely, then telephone from a neigh­ bor's home or use an alarm box. * 7--Go back into the house or apartment only after the firefighters have assured you that the fire is fully extinguished and the structure is sound. Your smoke detector is one of the most significant improvements in home fire safety ever to occur. But its effectiveness depends' on your own efforts to prevent and to escape fires. a1 ith an IRA from first Federal. Plan right now to maintain the lifestyle you want during retirement.
