While helping Prep Maritime week for you to enjoy, Door County emergency personnel suddenly had to go on double duty. At Tuesday’s city of Sturgeon Bay common council meeting, Mayor David Ward recognized Sturgeon Bay Police Chief Clint Henry and Fire Chief Tim Dietman for heroic efforts last week. They were moving a dock from near the Bayview Bridge for Maritime Week when they got a distress call regarding a sailboat that had tipped over on Lake Michigan. Emergency crews pulled the boat operator out of the water, and Mayor Ward got to see their urgency up close. 

The two received a round of applause from those at the meeting.
