A Bulloch County sheriff's deputy has been awarded the Lifesaving Medal for his role in the rescue of two kayakers on the Ogeechee River earlier this month. It started at 2:30 p.m. Aug. 14, when patrol deputies were notified that a kayak with two people in it had capsized, Sheriff Lynn Anderson said in a news release issued Monday. The boaters were hanging onto a log in the swift current and were in danger of drowning.
