Bayview Herb files the following report:

I and friends witnessed a wonderful example of selflessness Christmas day. We have an annual Christmas day pot-luck dinner for those of us that have no family in the area.

One of the guests, from the Silver Valley, was a diabetic that had just the day before, been put on a strict diet, and new medication.

During dinner, she went into diabetic shock. One of the guests recognized it as such, and grabbed some Karo syrup, and immediately started feeding it to her. Unfortunately, she was semi-conscious, and couldn't swallow.

The Timberlake Fire Dept. was called, and started a response that ended with EMT's and even a paramedic from Lakes Fire District. With six or seven medics present, unable to find a vein, her breathing very shallow, they couldn't lay her down to transport her to KMC.

They eventually were able to bring her around, saving her life. These folks, most, or all volunteers, gave up over two hours of their Christmas afternoon.

How about a huge well done.
