Cub Scout, Jack Wingert, is a local celebrity.  Last week, at the Iowa City Rotary meeting, Jack received a Certificate of Merit from the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America for his response to a friend choking in his school cafeteria.  Using training learned in Cub Scouting, Jack utilized the Heimlich maneuver to respond and was able to help the boy breath again.

Jack's actions have been highlighted by a number of local and national news and social media stories.  On April 28, the Iowa City Press Citizen ran the below article.
