Senator Jim Tedisco (R,C-Ballston Lake) recently presented the New York State Senate Liberty Medal, the Senate’s highest honor, to 12-year-old Amelia Juracka, a sixth grader from Greenfield, NY, who last summer saved her two-year-old cousin from drowning in the deep end of a pool. This is the youngest person Tedisco has ever honored with the New York State Liberty Medal and one of the youngest in state history. The ceremony took place at the Queensbury offices of the Girl Scouts of Northeastern, New York. (Photo provided)
