Michael Hendricks will be honoured at the next Kitchener City Council meeting on August 29, 2016 at 7 p.m.
He saved a 9 month old baby from choking at Kelsey’s Restaurant on August 1, 2016.
Melissa Bell, family friend to Karli Walters said,
“What great news about Michael being honored!!”
Michael wrote to me as I informed him about the amazing news,
“Thank you so much Alim for your work and kindness! I’m truly humbled! Thank you my friend.”
City Councillor Kelly Galloway-Sealock said in a statement to me,
“I have spoken with the Mayor and we are going to look at having Michael presented with a certificate at our next council meeting.”
Congradulations Michael, you deserve this award! We ask everyone to come to the next City Council meeting showing your support for Michael. For more information about the City Council meeting, please visit www.kitchener.ca.
Interview with Kevin McShan on July 12 speaking about partnerships he has developed and the work he has accomplished. He is a former student of the Journalism program at St. Clair College.
Today we are recognizing Michael Hendricks who saved a 9 month old baby and Melissa Bell’s quote on how we can be kind to one another.
She told 100.3 Sound FM CKMS Radio Waterloo, “When I yelled for help and for someone to call 911, the other patrons simply sat and stared at me like I was crazy, and no one reached for their phones. We are so suspicious of every one out there that is a stranger. I think we could mend those bridges by simply saying ‘hello’ to ppl you pass on the street. We’re so wrapped up in out own lives and stresses that someone’s accidentally bumping into you is a personal insult and so often the reaction is anger. Let’s reconnect to those around us by being polite and saying, ‘hi’!”
I also shared some kindness stories brought to you by goodnewsnetwork.org along with the interview of Karli Walters and Michael Hendricks courtesy of Global News. You can also read the other article on 570 News where Michael Hendricks and Karli Walters were also interviewed as well since Michael Hendricks saved the life of a 9 month old baby.
Furthermore, I have also posted the interview of Jane Elliott as well and I played that on my show as well.
Enjoy the show and enjoy your week as well as your weekend! :).
On August 1, 2016, Michael Hendricks was working at Kelsey’s on Ottawa Street when he answered a call of a 9 month old baby that was choking. He gave the baby some blows to the back and he saved the baby’s life. The baby was crying and was able to breathe.
Members of the Kitchener-Waterloo community are organizing a petition to ask Kitchener City Council to honour Mr. Hendricks for his act of bravery and his efforts in saving that baby’s life. The full story can be found at

Once again, thank you very much Michael and thank you very much to the Region of Waterloo community for your efforts and kindness in recognizing Michael for his heroism. He has received an award from me and the SoundFM community. Way to go buddy! :).
Ward 5 counsellor Kelly Galloway-Sealock made a statement to me after I emailed the petition. She said,
“Thanks for your message. I will work with the Mayor to see what we can do on behalf of the city to recognize Michael’s heroism. I saw the post on Spotted and it sounds like he was the right person to assist and took over the situation. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.”
I want to also thank all citizens in the City of Kitchener and Region of Waterloo for your assistance in getting Kitchener City Council to honour Michael Hendricks. We all appreciate all of your efforts.
We ask all members of the community to sign the petition so that we can get Kitchener City Council to honour him. This is what Michael Hendrix had to say, “Truly humbled!”
He also said to Spotted In K-W, “Glad to see that you and your son are doing well! I was happy to assist you. Take care!!”
I encourage everyone to sign my petition since the Wynne Government is not holding any community consultation meetings here in Kitchener-Waterloo for the Anti-Racism meeting that is taking place in other cities such as Toronto, London, Windsor, and Sudbury. We need to send a clear message that all Ontarians matter and therefore, all MPPs should host community consultations that are open to the public. Please sign my petition now!

Special guests Kuro Barros and Mickey Mouse arrived at the station as well and they want to say hello to all SoundFM fans. Thank you all for listening to my show.

I also wanted to say that I will be the first person to interview Jane Elliott from any Canadian radio or news network which will make history in the Radio & Television industry.
Together we can all fight all forms of racism and discrimination. As Jane Elliott said, “There are not 4-5 different races and there is only one race and that is The Human Race.” Let’s spread this around and tell people that around the world.
Thank you very much and have a great day. Photo courtesy of Huffington Post.
