West Fork student receives citizens award
A West Fork senior has earned the Outstanding Citizens Award for his actions in the aftermath of the recent flooding Sheffield has received.
Police Chief Sam Cain presented Josh Stevens, a senior at West Fork, the award after Stevens found a dangerously low power line during the track athlete’s morning run around Sheffield.
It was a Mediacom cable line that was out on 7th and Thompson.
Cain said he got a knock at his home at six in the morning, with Stevens there to tell him of the danger.
“[The power line] was right on Main Street, and it was so low I could have grabbed it with my hand,” Stevens said. “I saw these cars going by and I figured a tractor or semi coming by is going to take it down and cause a lot of damage.”
