In 2013,Deegan was trying to take control of her life after winning the fight against drinking.She did quit,but she was having difficulty reconnecting with people.Even looking someone in the eye proved to be difficult.“I was sort of like a shell of a person and just didn't really have many life skills or self-confidence,” Deegan said.
However,baking was something that always brought her joy as a child.One day while helping out in the neighborhood,Deegan picked up a hand-held mixer and started baking.“My life was just out of control,but baking is such a controlled thing,where if you take the right steps and follow the directions,you'll get a pretty exact result,” she said.
Deegan started bringing her home-made baked cookies to people's homes,which helped her reconnect with people.“Feeding people is such a universal love language,” she said.However,she was still trying to figure out how to find a career at 27 years old.She had no real work experience and she couldn't put ‘quit drinking’ on her resume.
Deegan's life shifted in 2015.Encouraged by her friends,she challenged herself to see if she could sell just one pie.She sold dozens! She began baking out of her tiny apartment and eventually launched an official business in 2017.She spent four years developing a pie crust cookie recipe,which has since become the bread and butter of her business.“People have been walking,running and lining up to get cookies,and it's just been so magical seeing that,” she said.
When she needs more help,Deegan says she looks for anyone who is just excited to work,even if they don't have any experience.After her own struggle,she realized that the desire to work was better than having a certain skill set.And she became a second-chance employer,hiring women out of prison or the shelter system.“You just have to walk through the door and be ready,willing and able and excited to show up and work and you've got a job,” Deegan told the reporter.

On Dec.26,Gelinne was having a cup of coffee at home,gazing out at frozen Beards River.Suddenly,his daughter cried “Look!” Gelinne looked up just in time to see a small aircraft a few hundred yards away,coming down.
As the plane disappeared behind the trees,Gelinne,a former sailor,realized it would land in the river.Without hesitation,he ran down to the waterfront.The plane had slid to a stop on the broad,frozen river,far from shore,sinking.The pilot was standing on the wing.Gelinne knew from his previous training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot.
Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it.So he and his son,John,pulled two kayaks (皮划艇) out.“If it can float on the water,it can slide on the ice,” Gelinne said.
The kayaks' paddles (桨) proved too weak,so the pair tried using sticks to push the boats along.Their first attempts left them spinning in circles.But with effort,they made progress.When Gelinne reached the plane,the pilot was standing on a tail wing,surrounded by open water.Gelinne pushed his kayak off the ice and into the water,paddling toward the pilot and thinking,“What if he panics? What if I fall over?”
With his son nearby,Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm,joking,“Just hang on to the kayak as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak's bow.Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot onto the shelf of unbroken ice.But each time Gelinne tried,the kayak broke through the ice.He needed help.
Soon a police officer arrived and radioed for help.A boat from the local Department of Natural Resources appeared.It picked up the pilot,Steve,and rushed him to safety,who would be treated for minor injuries.Later the boat returned to help Gelinne,exhausted,to shore.
The boat had arrived just in time,Gelinne recalled.“I'm 60 years old,” he says.“There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still,he was satisfied.
