A family gathering was taking place at the Lake Huron shore in the area of Lake Road at Southcott Pines Subdivision. Ashlan Singh entered the waters of Lake Huron alone and without close supervision. The water, which was treacherous at the time caused the young girl to encounter difficulty and slip beneath the surface, seventy -year-old Michael Barrett from Toronto, who was in the area at the time rushed into the waist deep water and recovered the child's unconscious body. Singh was brought to shore and CPR administered on her. She regained consciousness. Lambton EMS responded to the scene a short time later and administered first aid to the child. Aside from throwing up water from her encounter, she did not require further medical attention. She was released to the care of her family. An official with Lambton EMS indicates that the child would have drowned were it not for the quick action of Barrett. eth 92 Main St., S Sgrt 11 Of ' Exeter, Ontario hue° 'On�Tel:519-235-1840 O,ntFax: 519-235-3305 Email: shos@bellnet.ca FOR ALL YOUR BACK TO SCHOOL NEEDS. • Office Supplies & Stationery • Binding & Laminating • Office Furniture & Filing Cabinets • Wedding Stationery • Business Forms & Stationery • Business Machines • Stamps - Self -inking, pre -inked and rubber stamps • Photocopying - Black & White./#.
