Isn't it marked by a measuring stick on the side?

If anyone knows who these kids are, shoot me an e-mail at james.kleimann@patch.com.

These kids are heroes and should be acknowledged. Anyone know who they are?

I know the boys, my son Luke Kyriazis and his friend Mark Missud. I'm so proud of them!

mark mifsud and luke kyriazis ages 14 and 15

Can you e-mail me so I can interview them tomorrow?

Did her car spin around? Form the pictures, it appears she was heading South on Maple and probably went around cones set up at Harding.

Glen Rock should consider opening this as a 'pay and fish' after every rainfall. So far, tow truck operator's are the only ones having all the fun, except for a couple "wading" teenagers willing to lend a hand.

Bravo, boys!!! Well done!!!!

I'm sorry, but how exactly do you save a woman from a car when the car is not completely submerged and the cars not going anywhere? And shame on her for driving in, the cones were there for a reason. She should be charged for disobeying what was clearly a closed road and thus causing a serious incident that couldve been avoided.

Isn't that across the street from the police station? I'm curious why the authorities weren't involved in this rescue. Walking into standing water is dangerous.

Concerned resident of Ridgewood Is not so concerned I'm guessing. Regardless of how she got trapped you don't consider this a heroic rescue? In wondering how far you would go to help a stranger? Concerned, my a**!

Bravo Mark and Luke , you are outstanding citizens !

We are surprised the area was not taped off to make it clearer to people. We had the same thing happen. If the areas could be clearly marked off when flooded, then people won't loose their cars. The main thing is that the lady is safe and sound. The boys are real heros.

Great job by some great kids. As for all who want to make it clearer, they had cones up and she intentionally drove AROUND them. Kind if like the psycho drivers who run rr crossing gates. The driver is an idiot. She was lucky some good kids were around.

F-O-O-L behind the wheel

Hey!!! All you out there questioning the act of these kids.. TAKE IT EASY.. Granted it wasn't a rescue of a car that drove into the Bering Sea, but give these two kids credit. They stepped up and did the right thing not knowing what could happen to them or the person in the car and for that they deserve a little respect. So back off on questioning the lack of effort they exerted to do what they did and just be glad that the younger generation still cares for others!
Good Job Boys!!

Boys, you did the right thing, especially if the water was up to her neck. It was a very brave thing to do. You could have been hurt. If I were your mayor I'd give you good citizenship awards. May the good karma return to each of you tenfold!

This is Lukes mother and a BIG thank you to Craig Hueneke, I couldn't have said it better! Easy to judge after the fact, how many of the nay sayers here would have jumped in to help.

hi this is luke brother and everyone who said it is not a big deal you are wrong my brother and mark could have gotten hurt ................... they are heros.

If you can please explain to me how motionless water that was 4 feet deep can hurt someone? Because I'm curious myself. I have not once said the boys did not do a noble deed, but to call them heroes yet again seems a bit exaggerated. But I guess sharing my opinion gets handled with nothing but immaturity. Wouldn't expect anything less

Thank you Kilwins Chocolates and Ice Cream for your generous offer! I'll let the boys know.
As for "concerned resident....", funny how we all have our names out there to stand behind our thoughts and feelings posted and you who have the negative voice hide behind a made up "concerned citizen" name. We are all entitled to an opinion, why hide? No more responses to you from me, I choose to focus on the two heros, Luke and Mark.

hey, this is luke. "concerned resident", the water was filling up the entire inside of the car via the ac vents. i understand you're the typical doucher of society, so im not going to expect you to stop having such a negative view on nothing but a positive thing. we may not be heros but we did potentially save a life , and if you ask me thats pretty cool.

"Concerned Resident" You sound like a real "winner." Shame on you! These boys are real heroes. How would you like it if that was one of your relatives in the car and no one came to help. I can just picture what your arrogant self looks like. Loser!

These boys should be commended for doing such a brave thing. How ignorant are all of these people to question such a good deed. The negative posts should be directed at the idiot driving the car.

Once again, the woman was in no real danger. She's pure stupid. Give me a break. You all just need something to rave about. Go back to your housewife homes and book clubs and wait for your husbands to get back from work.

Welcome to America, where everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Does this make you mad?

Good job!!

I am proud of these boys; they boys did the right thing and should be commended. If I were in that car I would have been scared as all heck. What if this women couldn't get her doors open (too much external pressure, electrical system shorted, etc) and the water kept rising? You would all be faulting these boys for NOT doing something.

Well, the driver was an 81 year old Fairlawn resident. She was hit with a summons. Either she's an idiot or she should have her license yanked for being an unfit driver.

And THAT'S the way the cookie crumbles.

The two kids were noble for getting wet and opening a door, but definitely not heroes. I wouldn't call it heroic preventing the death of someone ignorant enough to drive around around a roadblock, down a 30 foot ramp of water until the car was almost fully submerged, then proceed to sit there like an idiot. It was her time. And intervening doesn't save her, it just skips over to the next person until it cycles back again.

Johnny tran, thank you. Your comment should put this situation into perspective for everyone who has commented here.

I mean really, are we really applauding the rescue of a senile old woman who deliberately drove into an oversized puddle? I noticed no one commented about this yet, but the fact that she was driving a Honda 2000 didn't make the situation any better.

Senile does not do it justice. She's of the age where drivers should be retested to make sure they're still stable enough to hold a drivers license. And she is a prime example as to why elderly people should have their licenses revoked. And there is no reason why she was driving a Honda 2000. She should be in a Buick leSabre.

Gabe Alpert = Jonnny Tran = troll

I'm betting money on this one.

You should stop now, what was done was done why are you thinking we were trying to get something out of it, we dont think it would turn out anything like this we didnt want it to. get over it and go on with your life gabe. We all are, i think you should too

Ha you're a moron, arguing with a 14 year old who did nothing but a good thing. I shall now be the mature one and walk away.

Gabe/Johnny appeared at approximately the same time on the Patch, post on the same stories, at the same times of day, with the same writing style.

Yawn.

Good job, boys. I am impressed by your selfless actions and kindness. Kudos.

Excellent job! We're very proud of you!

For all of you saying this was not heroic,think about it. At 14 years old it is.Would you step into that water ? Not knowing if there were any deep holes to fall into? The old lady was stuck,water up to her neck. What they did is heroic. What she did was stupid. Most of us would not have done what they did. I tip my hat to these 2 fine young lads. / :>)

I don't believe the savage attacks thrown at this woman, sure she did a dumb thing, and these kids did a great thing by coming to her assistance. What do you suggest, take an 81 yr old woman and hang her up by the thumbs? I hope your families are proud.
