Experiment Fireman Awarded for Action
At l:49 pm on January 13 the Lenawee County Sheriff's Office dispatch received a 911 call that two people were in the water at Lake Hudson yelling for help. Thomas and Annette Fredrick had driven back to the boat launch area so Thomas could show Annette where he fishes in the summer. They noticed the subjects out in the water by a boat. At first Thomas thought they might be diving but decided to get out and look more closely. They could hear a faint yell for help. He called 911. Clayton Fire Department and Hudson Fire Department were immediately dispatched. Cpl. Paterson of the Sheriff's Department was also dispatched. CPL Paterson requested that Addison F.D. be dispatched with their boat as well as the Sheriff’s Department Dive team. Clayton Fire Department arrived and requested two helicopters be sent to the scene also. CPL Peterson arrived just before Addison’s boat. When the boat arrived, Cpl. Paterson, Capt. Cleveland from Addison Fire Department and Firefighter Jeremy Davis from Hudson Fire Department all boarded the boat and headed for the first subject who had drifted away from the boat. He was clinging to a decoy but was unable to move due to the severe cold. Paterson and Davis pulled the man aboard. They then sped to the second man and also pulled him aboard. They quickly returned the men to shore where both were Life Flighted to St. Vincent Hospital in Toledo. The water temperature at the time was 37f with a brisk wind. It was determined that the men had been in the water for over 90 minutes. From the time dispatch first received the call to the time the first man was pulled out of the water was only 25 minutes. "This is a great example of a coordinated effort along with dedicated people who will put their life on the line at a moments notice," a spokesman for the Lenawee County Sheriff's Department said. Musical Comes to Hudson High School Make plans now to attend this year’s all-school play on March 22, 23, and 24 beginning at 7:00 pm. The cast of sixty Hudson High students has been busy preparing to present Disney’s High School Musical. The stage play, based on the immensely popular Disney channel movie of the same name, is hot off the presses with the first amateur stage performance produced last summer. This is a timeless story of growing through high school, finding your true interests, and becoming who you are with the help of friends and family. It is great family fun, appropriate for all ages, with upbeat music and plenty of dancing. Tickets will be sold at the door: $6 for adults and $4 for children. If you are interested in reserving front row seats for any of the shows, the tickets are $10 and may be reserved before the show. Please see a cast member if you are interested in the front row seats. Any front row seats that are not reserved before the show will be available at the door for the same $10 price. See you when the curtain opens! Dave Rickard to be Honored at Reception Dave Rickard spent many years serving Hudson schools in a variety of areas. For at least twenty years, he directed the all-school play and gained a reputation of producing high-quality entertainment for the community and a rewarding experience for the students involved. Those involved in the all-school play would like to honor him with a reception immediately following the Friday night, March 23, performance of this year's production of High School Musical. The play begins at 7:00 in the middle school gym. The dessert reception will follow in the school cafeteria.
If you have
enjoyed the shows over the years or have had the privilege of working
under Mr. Rickard's direction, please stop by to visit for a few minutes
and perhaps leave a card in the basket to express your gratitude or
share a memory. "Magic by Stewart" Show
