In undoubtedly one of their more unusual missions, members of the U.S. Coast Guard patrolling Lake Erie’s Fairport Harbor in northern Ohio rescued an 84-year-old man who accidentally drove his riding lawnmower off a landing and into the Grand River last week.
After sinking in several feet of water, the man was apparently too weak or too distressed to pull himself to safety. [ Read Full Post ]
An Internet-savvy U.S. Coast Guardsman’s use of the online social-networking site Facebook this weekend helped locate a fisherman thought to be missing and prevented the launch of a search mission that could have cost taxpayers as much as $30,000. [ Read Full Post ]
Things have gotten both better and worse and certainly intense for Tred in the past two days.
On Friday Tred and Anni got results back from and MRI that Annie had requested because the paralysis was proceeding in the opposite direction that it should have been. It showed that the damage to Tred's spine is progressing and advancing up his neck meaning his arms are now in jeopardy. Of course, this got all the medical teams jumping – initiating all sorts of tests and sample collecting. Yesterday they got preliminary results on a blood disorder that ostensibly could be treated with a procedure called plasma pheresis. Tred was immediately transferred out of rehab and into an hospital for that procedure. [ Read Full Post ]
Tred wants you all to know that he had never worked harder at anything in his life. He undergoes physiotherapy all-day, everyday. At the end of his first week in rehab, he has experienced no improvement in the sensation in his lower body, though neither has he lost any ground. He especially works on upper-body strength and has quickly earned the respect of his doctors and therapists for working more intensely than anyone they've ever met. IF he never gets the use of his legs back again, it will certainly NOT be for lack of effort. [ Read Full Post ]
Imagine waking up in your bed in New York City (or any town near a major airport on the eastern seaboard) to a cold, miserable rain. Your first inclination is to hit the snooze button and roll over, but then you remember that this day is different. This day, by 2:00 this very afternoon, you’ll be casting to bonefish on the sun-soaked flats of a tropical island so desolate and remote you’ll think you've travelled half way around the world for two days just to get there. But you didn't. You'll have arrived there in under 5 hours.

While the practice commonly referred to as “telephoning” or “monkey-fishing” is not seen by game and fish authorities in the field as often it once was, using any device to electro-shock fish remains an illegal method of take, as three DeFuniak Springs, Fla. men learned when stopped by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) law enforcement officers last week.

UPDATE: Tred’s biggest problem at present is lack of sleep. Hospitals just won’t let you. He’s been undergoing a legion of tests trying to determine the cause of his spinal stroke with no determination so far. Understandably, he’s feeling dejected. However, tomorrow he transfers to Craig Rehab hospital, one of the most loving, positive atmospheres anywhere on earth. Hopefully they will boost his spirits AND let him get some sleep. He complained of pain and nothing among the almost 30 different pain medications helped the pain and his body hated it as well, resulting in allergic reactions. He also hasn’t eaten for days and without chocolate milk and peanut butter and jelly, he gets VERY depressed. Anni also requires your prayers as being stoic and positive throughout all this is an equally tough job. She, too, needs sleep and consideration, PLEASE keep all your positive energy, prayers and good thoughts channeled toward them.—Dean Travis Clarke
