A LAST minute decision to
switch fishing holes meant
the difference between life
and death for a 67-year-old
Burnaby man at Alice Lake
Wednesday.

Frank Audia and his son
Sal were fishing on the

The quick reaction of North
Vancouver fishermen Peter
Weiss, 25, and Doug
Schwery, 25, — who had ar-
rived at the lake only
minutes carlier from a
disappointing steelhead ses-
sion at the Cheakamus River
~— saved Audia’s life.

Weiss said the pair had

about 30 feet from shore.
“We ran all the way to the
other side, and | managed to
find a smail branch that we
could reach out to him. |

on the lag, then started
crawling along the ice. Doug
passed me a longer branch,

the ice started breaking all
around us because of all our
weight. Doug fell into the
water but | only pot the bot-

Two local men perform icy rescue

yanked the man out of the
water that he had an artifical
leg.

“Our biggest worry was
that he’d lose his grip before
we got there. It took us
about 10 minutes to run
across to the other side and
grab a branch to help him,”
said Weiss.

Schwery told the North
Shore News Audia's son had
attempted to assist in the

rescue, but was advised by
the two young men to stay
on shore. He said he was
relatively calm during the
rescuc, crediting the pair's
reaction to fishing experi-
ence and common sense.

Added Weiss:
‘“‘Everyone’s making a big
deal out of this. Doug and |
just did what we'd hope
anyone else would do.**
