RESOLUTION #12,341

RESOLUTION HONORING THREE LIFESAVING CITIZENS

Whereas, a gentleman, Larry Hare of Battle Creek, IA, a former member of the Battle Creek ambulance, was driving a combine in rural Woodbury County back from Moville on D38 two miles west of Anthon when the combine fell off a soft shoulder and rolled into the steepest part of the ditch being entrapped as the combine caught on fire;

Whereas, Randy Colshan who is normally employed as owner of Mapleton Rooter and Daniel Garcia and Robert Klassen who are normally employed at Pepsi-Cola of South Sioux stopped their vehicles;

Whereas, Randy Colshan, Daniel Garcia, and Robert Klassen worked to pull Larry Hare out and transported him to a safe distance from the burning combine with surprisingly minor injuries;

And whereas, both Randy Colshan, Daniel Garcia, and Robert Klassen are credited by the Anthon Ambulance personnel for having saved Larry Hare’s life;

Now therefore be it resolved, that the Woodbury County Board of Supervisors thanks, commends, and honors the service actions of Randy Colshan, Daniel Garica, and Robert Klassen, and wishes them the absolute best as they continue to show honor in their steadfast commitment to the citizens of Woodbury County.
