Indiana conservation officers responded Monday to a 911 call placed by LaGrange County Sheriff's Department in regard to six canoers/kayakers who were lost on the Pigeon River near the Steuben County/LaGrange County line, according to a news release from the Indiana DNR Law Enforcement Division.

Conservation officers Jake Carlile and Kyle Buchanan (Fall '09) located the kayakers on foot at approximately 3 a.m. in a heavily wooded area.

The boaters were found without lights and suffering from the early stages of hypothermia as a result of long-term exposure in cold water and falling nighttime temperatures.

One woman suffered from early-stage hypothermia, and the remaining boaters were led to the nearest river access.

While waiting for transportation home, one man suffered a minor seizure but refused transport or medical assistance.

Matt Shoup (Fall '01) and his wife, Brooke, welcomed their second child into the world.  Amelia Ann Shoup was born at Community Hospital South in Indianapolis, IN on Friday, September 5, 2014 at 10:47am. Amelia was 21 1/4 inches in length and weighed in at 8lbs and 8oz.

Congratulations to the Shoup family.
