Hiker fell 250 ft. and lived

An 17-year-old youth is in
satisfactory condition in
Lions Gate Hospital after
falling 250 feet down a cliff
at Mount Seymour.

Oscar Brizzi, of
couver, was climbing with
three friends on Second
Pump on Sunday afternoon
when the mishap occured.

Van-

Co-ordinator of North and
West Vancouver Emergency
Program Jeff Jefferd said
that area was quite rugged
and icy and that Bnzz
apparently slipped and fell.

He said Brizzi hit a tree
and this is what broke his
fall. Another emergency
program member said it was
possible Brizzi could have
fallen much further if he had
not hit the tree

Four other hikers saw the
youth fall and they looked
after him and kept him warm
until a hehcopter could fly
him to safety

Jefferd said they diverted
a helicopter to the scene and
it was “really fortunate it was
in the arca when we needed
if

Bnzz suffered leg and
head injyunes in the fall but
was reported in sauisfactory
condition on Monday

Jefferd said Brizzi was
“very fortunate” that he
survived the fall

became pinned by a large
boulder beneath a drainage
pipe which showered icy
water over her until the time

Townsend, was barely even
visible beneath the rock and
the alarm was raised when
her seven-year-old cousin
Derek ran screaming in to
tell his mother of the ac-
cident that had occurred by
the creek behind their home
at 2730 Warpole Crescent, in
North Vancouver.

Property and_ cash
totalling $15,000 was stolen
from a home on the 2500

i : : 5,

Mrs. W.D. Townsend, of
705 West Queens, North
Van, had been over in
Blueridge visiting her sister
and Rebecca had gone out to
play with her two cousins,
without Mrs. Townsend
being aware that they had

gone down to the creek area.

When Derek came rushing
in to tell the parents of
Rebecca’s plight, his mother
dashed down to the creek
and found the boulder was
too large to move. All Mrs
Townsend could see could
see of her daughter beneath
the rock was a few strands of
hair and a glimpse of her
legs.

$15,000 break-in in

Another haul of stolen
property was found dumped
in Horseshoe Bay Saturday.

A local resident found a
paper shopping bag on the

Girl, 4, rescued
from beneath boulder

When the firemen arrived
and removed the boulder it
became clear just how
fortunate Rebecca had been
lo escape injury.

The boulder had knocked
her into a gully as it fell and
had then got wedged on the
sides of the gully so it pinned
her without crushing her.

And though she was
crying from the experience
she did not seem injured and
was allowed home after a
checkup at Lions Gate
Hospital.
