Two members save life
of boy in swimming pool
Two
OSEA
members,
counselors at the Oregon School
for the Blind, saved the |ife of a
multiply-handicapped
boy
discovered at the bottom of the
school swimming pool during a
recreation swim period July 17.
Mary Daniels, Salem, pulled
seven-year-old Brian Burge
from the water and revived him
with the help of Joyce Branc
zek, Turner. Both are trained as
lifeguards.
According to Daniels, “I saw
him at the bottom of the pool.
NEW!
When I got over to him and
pulled him out, he was already
blue. I pushed on his, lower
stomach and Joyce applied
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
and he started to breathe and
scream,” she said.
Daniels said the boy, part of a
group participating in a two-
week summer school, ap
parently slipped out of a small
ring-type life preserver in about
three and one-half feet of water.
By the time rescue firemen
arrived, the boy was “alive,
coughing and screaming and
wanted to go home.” He was
taken to Salem Hospital,
Memorial Unit and later
released.
Daniels, a member of the
Education Departnient Special.
‘Schools BURC credited their
combined first aid and lifeguard
training. She said, “We both
knew what to do and it was a lot
easier working together.”
The women both are in their
fifth year at the school.
