Angie Hatch of Hudson was set to run the New York City Marathon this weekend for charity, but when Hurricane Sandy made it impossible, she and her supporters came up with a backup plan. Hatch mapped out a 26.2-mile running course in Hudson beginning at her home on Marin Avenue. More than 100 people showed up to cheer her on at the start of her run, including personnel from St. Croix EMS, Hudson Fire Department and St. Joseph Fire Department.

Hudson business owner and philanthropist Paul Rode is spending 24 hours waving the American flag on the Stagecoach Trail overpass over I-94 to help passing motorists remember the 11th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001.
On Sept. 11, 2001, Paul Rode, then a restaurant manager at Barker's Bar & Grill, was so moved by the events that he went to Walmart, bought an American flag and began waving it on a freeway overpass. Over the past 11 years, Rode has advanced in his career. He now owns The Agave Kitchen and Charlie's Barbershop & Shave. He still buys a flag every year and returns to an Interstate 94 overpass and spends time waving the flag to passing motorists. All 11 of his flags for the years 2001-2011 now hang in his garage. Just as he did last year, Rode and friends will wave flags on the Stagecoach Trail overpass over Interstate-94 for 24 hours. Firetrucks and EMS vehicles from area emergency services agencies are scheduled to drive past the flag …

Hank Brekke has been developing iPhone apps for more than two years.
Here’s how you talk online to Hank Brekke, the Hudson High School freshman whose flashcard studying iPhone app will soon have been downloaded 10,000 times: Brekke started dabbling in web design the summer after he graduated from elementary school. “I first made some really cheesy, bad photo gallery websites,” he said, blushing for his prepubescent immaturity. “But I started to get annoyed because you couldn’t edit the code in iWeb.” So he taught himself HTML and CSS using tutorials he found through Google. “I’m not self-taught, I’m Google-taught,” Brekke said. In middle school, Brekke designed a band showcase page for a friend, learned the programming language “C” to teach a robot to navigate a maze and started designing iPhone apps. His …
