Rosemary Rimkus
Team Nancy, in tribute to Hudson resident Nancy Sullivan, has walked in the Multiple Sclerosis Fund annual walk for the past 27 years.
This year on May 1, family, friends and former classmates walked 3 miles on Hudson streets in tribute to Nancy, and to raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis Fund. The walk, held annually in Concord, was postponed last year due to Covid.
Nancy is the wife of Hudson native Paul Sullivan, who is captain of Team Nancy.
“We have participated since 1994,” he said, “and have a great team of old friends, relatives and former classmates.”

Your eyes could tell you that Monday was a special day at Macomb City Hall. First, there was a tent on the city hall lawn. Second was the number of people gathering under and around the tent.
The tent was in place as an alternative to indoor crowd prohibitions. The Macomb City Council met inside the building as usual. Then they recessed and reconvened under the tent.
The outdoor gathering was to permit as large a group as possible to witness and participate in the swearing-in ceremony of Police Chief Jerel Jones. In addition to his family from Chicago, and many Macomb residents, representatives of the NAACP were on hand including the state president.
Fire heavily damages Pretty Prairie teacher s home
PRETTY PRAIRIE – Fire officials suspect an electrical short caused a house fire in Pretty Prairie Friday afternoon that killed three pets.
A passerby who spotted smoke coming from the small single-story Bungalow-style home at 418 E. Main called it in about 12:15 p.m., said Fire Chief Rick Grabber.
“It started in the kitchen,” Grabber said. “We’re classifying it as accidental electrical.”
It appears, he said, that the fire started around an outlet with a plug-in room deodorizer.
“It’s an older house, with older wiring,” he said.
Firefighters entered the home and quickly knocked down the fire, but firefighters had to cut a hole through the roof to ventilate it and let out the heat and smoke.
