Lodi Boy Dropped From Ice on Black River
Four Lodi Elementary pupils watched an ice jam on the Black River. John Ridgeway, 8, slipped on a two foot ledge and was knocked into the water by a moving ice slab. Rescuers comb the river with skindivers and observers as daylight returns. Richard Parker, Roy Sassane, Young Dr. and Gary Anderson witnessed the accident and helped call officials. The river depths ranged from three to four feet near the dam at Rt. 76. The search began after locals alerted Lodi police and utility crews. Divers resumed work at dawn with ropes anchored to prevent drift.
