Rick’s CPR was a wife-saving effort A family crisis at Christmas has turned into a new year’s celebration of sorts for Rick and Lynn Frey of Campbell River. On Dec. 23, Rick had just come into the house to take a break from yard work when a visiting friend alerted him to his wife’s collapse. Having taken a first aid course for his job as a commercial fisher man, Rick drew upon that knowledge and started cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on Lynn who had suffered a major heart attack. “I don’t know how I did it, but I just did
what needed to be done. I just knew I couldn’t lose her,â€? said Rick. “I should probably do another course, as it has been years since I took one.â€? Lynn continues to recover, and on Thursday, hubby Rick was honoured by the BC Ambulance Service for his wife-saving effort. “Taking the time to learn CPR can save lives,â€? said Minister of Health Margaret MacDiarmid. “Congratulations‌Thanks to your quick-thinking actions you will be able to celebrate a very special Valentine’s Day with your loved ones.â€? During a presenta-
tion at the ambulance station on 2nd Avenue, Rick was presented with a Vital Link award. The ambulance service presents the award to recognize members of the public who save a life and to raise awareness of the importance of CPR. A cardiac arrest victim is four times more likely to survive if they receive CPR from a bystander. However, in approximately 85 per cent of all cardiac arrest cases, this basic procedure is not performed. B.C. ambulance paramedics attend 2,4002,800 cardiac arrest calls each year. Fewer
than 12 per cent of people who have a cardiac arrest survive. The Freys are well known in Campbell River. Rick’s daughter Marine Frey was one of victims of mass murderer Robert Picton and Lynn worked t i re l e s s ly t o h e l p find her missing step daughter. Call it a hear tfelt moment as Rick and Lynn Frey kiss on Valentine’s Day. The two were at the BC Ambulance station where Rick was honoured for performing CPR on Lynn after she suffered a near-fatal heart attack just before Christmas. PAUL RUDAN/THE MIRROR

Over the course of this FREE MEDIA EVENT, the book of Revelation will be explored chapter by chapter by John Bradshaw of It Is Written Television www.itiswritten.com.
“The book of Revelation is possibly the most misunderstood and confusing book in the Bible, when in fact it is the revelation of Jesus Christ.
In a world where many people are terriďŹ ed of what the future holds, many are surprised to ďŹ nd that while Revelation holds answers to what will happen in the ďŹ nal days of Earth’s history - it also contains a message of peace and hope for the future.
During this series, Bible subjects typically shrouded in confusion will be made clear as we learn how the messages in this book apply to our lives today.�
