Edward Fillingham, of Henderson Harbor, was 75 in April 2009 when he launched his canoe despite extremely dangerous conditions and paddled 500 yards to save three boaters from the frigid waters of Lake Ontario. Rear Admiral Mike Parks, commander of the Ninth Coast Guard District, described Fillingham as “a shining example of what we all strive to be, a lifesaver and a servant.”
We’ll leave it to student writer Brenna Merry to explain what she’s unhappy about: “Every day as I try to open my locker I have to deal with a couple in

Winter’s showing what it can do when it wants to.
Sunday brought a surprisingly heavy snowstorm to the Fulton area. A narrow band of clouds dumped tons of snow on the city while leaving areas just north of the city line almost untouched.
The City of Fulton and Town of Hannibal have issued a travel advisory, effective until 7:00am Monday 01/17/11. The City of Fulton DPW Commissioner Dan O’Brien and Hannibal Highway Superintendent Dan Mahaney have requested no unnecessary travel due to hazardous road conditions from the recent heavy snowfall.
Residents are asked to stay off the highways and are reminded to remove their vehicles from the streets, to ensure snow removal operations can take place without obstruction. This is a travel advisory only, not a Snow Emergency.
Among the items on the agendas is a request to upgrade the lighting at the waste water treatment plants. It would mean an annual savings of about $3,250.
Hannibal’s Board of Education will begin working on the next school district budget in a few weeks. They’re not hopeful about what the process will bring.
