Energy NW worker honored for saving girl's life
RICHLAND -- Rick Torres, an Energy Northwest employee, was honored Monday for potentially saving the life of a little girl about the same age as his own daughters.
He was at a buffet in Las Vegas in July when he saw a girl, about age 2 or 3, choking. Her father was trying to administer the Heimlich maneuver, but Torres could see he was not doing it correctly.
Meanwhile, the little girl was changing color and her eyes were rolling back, said John Dobken, Energy Northwest spokesman.
