SAVING NATE:
Young rescuers awarded for bravery Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
Nate Dueck, 3, was sitting on the edge of his grandpa’s pool in Abbotsford with his sisters Lucy, 5, and Faith, 8, during a family celebration last June. The three were kicking their feet in the water of the in-ground pool, waiting for their parents to gather up a few things be-
fore they left. Faith and Lucy liked a song they heard playing on the stereo and got up to dance. They thought Nate would follow. But the girls turned around and were horrified to see that Nate had slipped into the pool. Lucy raced to the edge, splayed herself across the ground and reached for Nate’s hands, which were barely poking out of the
water. Neither she nor Nate could swim. Faith started screaming to her mother Mistry: “Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom!” Nate’s head was fully submerged, but Lucy was able to grab his fingers. She tried to pull him up, but she was the same weight as her brother and she couldn’t do it. She held on as tight as she could. Continued on A4
