Boy Honored

The 11-year-old Kar­son Dieter’s autism wasn’t a bar­rier as Kar­son decided to res­cue 80-year-old Emo­jene McDon­ald from a vicious pit bull attack in the area of Payson Avenue and Val­ley Street in the Shan­non Ranch devel­op­ment last week. Dieter said he was just doing his duty as a Boy Scout. For his actions, the Visalia Uni­fied School Dis­trict hon­ored Kar­son at its Tues­day night school board meeting.
