& "A Family Tradition for 128 Years" Man warns anglers: be careful out on the lake From Page 1 back, Mr. Norrish said. Mr. Norrish's only sav- ing grace during this time was his cellular phone. He kept in constant contact with his wife until the bat- teries failed. While Mr. Norrish's wife Carol admits she was panicking, Mr. Norrish said his main concern was keeping warm. "At one point I was vi- brating from head to toe," he said. An air boat from Sut- ton's fire department was called out to search the lake , but even with the hut's owner on board, they could not locate Mr. Nor- rish. Although Mr. Norrish said he could see the air boat some distance away from him he knew he had to stay put. If he ventured toward the boat and they didn't see him, he figures he never would have found his way back to the hut. By la.m. Mr. Norrish knew the situation was getting serious as he was beginning to get very cold. Hours later he waved his arms at a passing heli- copter, called out from Trenton, but his efforts to get the pilot's attention failed. "I was in a black hut on black ice and was wearing dark clothing. There was no chance to see me," he said. That is when Mr. Nor- rish came up with the idea to swing the door of the hut open and shut, hoping that the white styrofoam on the inside of the hut would ry for more details. catch the eye of the heli- copter's spotlight. Minutes later Mr. Nor- rish was aboard the heli- copter and brought to shore at 3:20 a.m. "I was very cold by this time and very pleased to see the chopper," he said. Although Mr. Norrish - has made the trip out on Lake Simcoe a couple times a year for the past 10 years he has never run into problems before. "We all tend to get com- placent;" he said. From now on he said he will not be overconfident when making such a trip and warns others to do the same. He realizes ifhe had flares or other equipment he may have been saved earlier by the airboat. "You have to have re- spect for lakes such as Simcoe. I have learned that, and I hope others do," he said. KELLY LOWN/PORT PERRY STAR Brian Norrish spent Sunday afternoon relaxing with wife Carol and their dog Silver. Mr. Norrish spent several hours stranded on Lake Simcoe in the middle of a winter storm before being rescued by helicopter.
