GLENDALE ? Ian Nunya didn't think much about the loud lightning crash that occurred on a late afternoon in Northern Arizona. That changed when his college roommate, Eric Carlos, looked out the window of their fourth-floor dormitory on the Northern Arizona University campus in Flagstaff, Ariz., around 3:30 p.m. Sept. 10 and saw that somebody had been badly injured. Nunya, who graduated from St. Francis High last spring after competing on the school's football and track and field programs, sprung into action.

When Assistant City Atty. Dennis Schuck collapsed because of a heart attack, he was fortunate others in City Hall knew CPR and were able to help. Considering it had been six years since Glendale had held a clinic for its general staff, it was lucky that attorneys and city managers do more than push papers. Schuck is around today thanks -- in no small part -- to their help. The city has decided not to rely on luck in the future and is planning courses for all 1,700 employees.

Gretchen Hoffman Chip Cabana doesn't consider himself an overly religious man, but he has no explanation other than God's intervention for how he saved a neighbor's son who almost drowned.

He hopped out of the RV he was tinkering around in -- the window of which looks over the Arakelians' pool -- and ran around the fence.
