After an evening playing the bingo game at the Hotel & Casino,bartender Jill Bien,48,boarded a bus bound for Chicago,where she lives.About 35 miles into the 90-mile trip,Jill felt the bus drive away onto the right shoulder of I-94.The bus scraped(擦掛)a concrete barrier,and then turned back into traffic.
"Stop the bus!"Jill yelled to the driver from her seat just behind him.But then she saw his seat was empty.The driver,James Rogers,68,lay unconscious in the bus's stairwell. "Call 911!" Jill screamed,and with the bus rushing in and out of traffic at about 60 mph in an uncontrollable way,she leaped into the driver's seat and grabbed the wheel.
"My life flashed before my eyes," Jill says now. "Everyone on the bus was bouncing around;they were lying in the aisle(通道).I thought,I don't want anybody to get hurt." Jill carefully turned the bus onto the shoulder,bringing it to a stop.
"Thank God she got that bus over to the side," says Marge Borkowski,who was a passenger that night. "She's my hero." Emergency personnel arrived a few minutes later and took 11 of the bus's 34 passengers to the hospital,where doctors treated them for minor injuries,When Jill returned home after the accident,she "burst out crying." she says. "I kept visualizing it."
Despite anxiety and injuries,Jill boarded a bus back to the casino two days later. "I didn't want my fear to build up," she said.Kenosha County policeman Dan Ruth,who was at the scene of the accident,told reporters he hasn't witnessed an act more heroic than Jill's in his 18 years on the job. "It could have been much,much worse," he says.

Then I stopped them."Please wait.Do you really want to catch it and put it into the birdcage?" My neighbor said, "Yes.I will catch it and take it home." I said angrily, "Animals are our friends and this is the last place in our city that the squirrel can live in.We must protect them.If we are kind to this tiny animal then we can start to be kind to bigger ones."
