A new television series highlights the work of Jamie Davis and his towing company. Highway Thru Hell follows a team of heavy rescue drivers as they scramble to keep the Coquihalla Highway open for truckers during the winter. The show premiers Sept. 4 on the Discovery Channel.
Clearing the Coquihalla Highway Jamie Davis Heavy Rescue featured in new TV series
Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
Icy roads, whiteouts and crushed metal are common sights on the Coquihalla Highway every winter. The transportation route features some of the steepest and most treacherous terrain in North America, which thousands of truckers must travel every day. Climbing the eight per cent grade during the winter, truckers often spin out and pileup. During the worst storms, big wrecks can come as often as every 12 hours. When backups shut down the
highway, its up to Jamie Davis and his heavy rescue crew in Hope to get traffic moving again. “It’s guaranteed to happen,” said Davis, who also started Aggressive Towing in Abbotsford. “During the winter, you sometimes don’t even sleep. The volume of calls that happen within a short span are very hard to deal with because it pushes your resources to the max. It’s very common for us to be on a wreck and have to split crews to handle a second wreck.” The busiest time for Jamie Davis Heavy Rescue is between October
and February, where there can be up to 35 drivers on the payroll. Davis said it’s a big time commitment and mental challenge for his staff as they work on-call and mostly at night. “It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been in the business, pulling up on a major accident there’s still shock and awe,” he said. “No two accidents are ever the same. These guys probably see more carnage and wreckage then all the emergency services put together. It really gives you a respect for life and what you do every day.”

Davis owns a fleet of custom-built heavy rescue trucks with some of the most sophisticated equipment on board. One of the trucks features a fixed 30-tonne crane and two powerful winches, which extends the truck’s reach for hundreds of metres. It would take eight standard tow trucks to match the capacity of this heavy rescue truck. This specialized equipment and the drivers that operate it will be showcased in a new original eightpart series called Highway Thru Hell. Continued on 2

The last blast for summer is coming up. The Labour Day weekend marks the end of summer holidays and the beginning of a new school year. That first day of school is a pretty important milestone for kids starting school for the first time. This is a great time to capture the kid’s expressions as they take in their new surroundings. Another opportunity is when they see their class room for the first time. These are big events and will be fun to look back at many years from now. Back to Labour Day, why not have a BBQ for absolutely no reason, get some friends and family together, haul out the camera and make some memories. There is a lot of subject matter at a BBQ, like food cooking on the grill, the cook in his or her apron, or him in her apron. Close ups of condensation on the refreshment bottles, or reflections off of the punch bowl. Have fun.

Body found in Fraser identified
The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a body found in the Fraser River in Abbotsford on Aug. 13. Herbert Wells was discovered by gravel barge workers with Mainland Sand and Gravel Quarry along the shoreline of the river east of Matsqui Trail Regional Park. The body of the 66-year-old Hope fisherman was wedged between a barge
and large log boom. On July 28, Wells slipped off a rock near the Saddle Rock Tunnel in the Fraser Canyon and fell into the river. He was not wearing a flotation device at the time. An extensive search was conducted by members of Hope Search and Rescue, the First Nations policing unit, and the RCMP seasonal policing division, but he was not found.
Wells’ oldest sister Doreen Jones, who lives in Abbotsford, said her brother had been a resident of Hope for about 20 years. Even though he hadn’t spoken to her in over a year, Jones said she knew fishing in the Fraser wasn’t uncommon for her brother. “Unfortunately accidents happen,” she said. “He didn’t really keep in touch with us but he will be missed.”
Unpredictable conditions challenged the film crew
From 1
Produced by Vancouver’s Great Pacific TV, the show follows Davis and his heavy rescue crew as they work to clear the Coquihalla Highway under unpredictable winter conditions. Filming for the series took place between Dec. 1 and March 31, when the route was covered in nine metres (30 feet) of snow. “There’s nothing made up about anything in this show – it’s all dayto-day, minute-by-minute,” said Davis. “How the crews head out, what we do and where we go is all determined by what happens on the road. There’s no scripting whatsoever.”

Jamie Davis Heavy Rescue drivers are filmed during a tow call last winter on the Coquihalla Highway.
He admits filming was hard to adapt to at first, but the drivers eventually formed a close relationship with the production crew. Cameramen were stationed in Hope and on-call for 12-hour shifts. Great Pacific TV leased cars from
Gardner GM, rented a house and motel rooms for the crew. In total, 65 people worked on the project, either in the filming or editing stages. “We wanted to capture real life and real people doing difficult things in difficult plac-
es,” said producer Mark Miller. “There were so many variables. It’s really interesting to watch them work through a problem. I think when people see this show and see what it’s really like in a blizzard up there, they’re going to think twice about showing up in their cars with summer tires on.” While there are other organizations involved in keeping the highway open, such as the Ministry of Transportation and Emil Anderson Maintenance, Miller said Jamie Davis Heavy Rescue appears to be the last line of defence. “It’s sort of inevitable that when all else goes
by the wayside, it’s most often felt that Jamie has to scrape up the broken metal and get the road clear enough to maybe get one or two lanes open,” he said. “The highway goes through a very difficult terrain and it speaks to mankind’s ability to conquer mother nature. But sometimes mother nature pushes back and tries to take the highway back.” Highway Thru Hell premiers Sept. 4 on the Discovery Channel at 10 p.m. Viewers can also catch full episodes online at discoverychannel. ca as well as behind-thescenes web extras and video diaries from some of the Jamie Davis crew.

Weak Fraser run rules out Sockeye fishery Jeff Nagel Black Press
Fishery managers say the Fraser River sockeye run isn’t strong enough this year to allow any commercial fishing or recreational angling. Latest estimates peg this summer’s return of salmon at about 2.3 million, slightly better than the pre-season estimate of 2.1 million. “At these levels we’re not anticipating commercial or recreational fisheries,” said Barry Rosenberger, DFO’s Interior area director and co-chair of the Pacific Salmon Commission’s Fraser River panel. This year’s run is down from five million last year and way down from the huge 2010 run of 30 million sockeye, believed to be a rare anomaly. A low 2012 return wasn’t unexpected, because sockeye run on a four-year cycle and the previous generation that spawned in 2008 was very weak. The commercial and recreational sectors knew fish-

ing was unlikely, Rosenberger added. First Nations, who get fishing priority for food, social and ceremony purposes, have caught 400,000 Fraser sockeye so far. Rosenberger said he doesn’t consider this year’s run a bad
outcome because four adult sockeye are returning for every one that spawned in 2008. That’s much better productivity than in 2008, he said, when less than one adult came back for each spawner from the previous generation. “If that rate of return contin-
ues we’ll be in a much better position four years from now,” he said. “Our primary goal this year was to increase our spawning ground counts and we think we’re making progress.” The river temperature of 19.4 degrees is almost two degrees higher than average for this time of year, which poses some concern for sockeye migrating inland, but Rosenberger said he expects the water to cool now that the mid-August heat wave has passed. Sto:lo fisheries advisor Ernie Crey said the aboriginal catch shared by the 94 bands that depend on Fraser sockeye is far below the one million fish they take in a good year. “There’s going to be a lot of hardship this year,” he said. “There won’t be a lot of fish put away for the winter months.” Next year will likely be worse, Crey added, because the 2013 run will be the weak progeny of the disastrous 2009 return that prompted Ottawa to appoint the Cohen Inquiry into the decline of Fraser sockeye.

Cyclists with the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride make their way down Third Avenue last year. This year’s cross-country ride stops in Hope Memorial Park on Sept. 5.
“They’ll have people talking about the ride, where it started and how its conception happened.” The ride kicks off in Vancouver on Sept. 5 and ends in Halifax 17 days later on Sept. 21. Riding in relay style, the selected national riders will each cycle about 165 kilometres every day. All money raised goes directly to fund research and support programs for childhood
cancer in 17 pediatric oncology centres across Canada. According to Statistics Canada, on average more than 1,200 children and teenagers are diagnosed with cancer every year and another 224 die from the disease. Leukemias, brain and other nervous system tumours, lymphomas (lymph node cancers), bone cancers, soft tissue sarcomas, kidney cancers, eye cancers, and
adrenal gland cancers are the most common cancers in children. To date, the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride has raised over $4.5 million and organizers are hoping to add another $1.5 million to that total this year. The event is conducted by the Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation, which is comprised mainly of volunteers, in partnership with title sponsor Sears Canada.

New regulations for health workers B.C. implements mandatory flu protection
Tom Fletcher Black Press
B.C. health care workers will be required to get an annual influenza vaccine or wear a mask in all patient contact areas in the community or publicly funded facilities, starting with this year’s flu season. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall announced the regulation last Thursday, a first for Canada. It applies to health authority staff, doctors, volunteers, students, contractors and vendors who come into contact with patients. Free flu shots have been made available to B.C. health care workers for years, and despite encouragement, fewer than half take advantage of them. The average vaccination rate for long-term care employees is closer to 60 per cent, but Kendall said that rate is still too low and has declined in recent years. Canada’s national advisory com-
mittee on immunization considers it a “professional responsibility” for health care workers to get their flu shot every year, Kendall said. The mask option is being offered for workers who have a medical reason not to be vaccinated, and to avoid disputes with employees who simply refuse. “Progressive discipline” would be imposed on employees who refuse both during flu season, just as it would be for those who fail to wash their hands or take precautions when coughing, Kendall said. B.C. is the first province to move to mandatory influenza protection, following the lead of U.S. jurisdictions where vaccination has increased to more than 95 per cent. The B.C. Centre for Disease Control estimates that complete vaccination of health care workers would reduce the risk for patients by 47 per cent, as well as protecting the workers from exposure from
infected patients. The annual influenza shot is made available around Thanksgiving each year, to prepare for a season that typically runs from late November until March. A new formulation is used each year to match the strains most likely to be circulating in North America. Kendall said he doesn’t know why immunization rates for health care workers have declined. But he cited persistent myths about hazards of contracting the flu from the vaccine or experiencing other adverse effects, which he said are very rare. “Some people believe they are healthy and don’t get influenza,” he said. The Canadian Nursing Association, the College of Registered Nurses of B.C. and the B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons all support vaccination for health care workers.
Drivers to get early use of new bridge
Jeff Nagel Black Press
Motorists may be driving over part of the new Port Mann Bridge as early as September. Tolls won’t be charged until the bridge formally opens with eight out of 10 lanes operational in December. But Port Mann/Highway 1 Project spokesman Max Logan said some traffic will begin using at least a couple of lanes this fall. Shifting some traffic onto the new bridge will help with construction staging as crews still have extensive work ahead of them in the months
ahead, notably in completing new overpasses at the Cape Horn interchange on the Coquitlam side. “It’s likely to be the eastbound lanes that are moved first,” he said. “The details of that and the timing is still being worked out with the contractor.” Logan likens the early lane openings to the traffic pattern changes that have seen exits and onramps shift to accommodate work along the 37-kilometre construction corridor. “By shifting some lanes over to the bridge not only does that create
some work space for us it also allows us to transition traffic gradually over to the new bridge.” He said the transportation ministry wants to avoid anything like California’s multi-day freeway construction closures that have been dubbed Carmageddon. “Phasing more gradually will minimize the impacts to traffic,” he said. Drivers will be given plenty of advance warning of any changes, he said. Logan said drivers won’t experience the full travel time savings until
the initial eight lanes of the bridge are open and electronic tolling begins. It will take another year before all 10 lanes are in service, because the old bridge must be taken down before the last two lanes of the new span can be connected to Highway 1. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom has said the planned $3 per crossing minimum toll may be lowered for the first year while only eight lanes are open. Tolling details are to be released in early September.

A price to pay for bargains
Published at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press
In increasing numbers, Canadian consumers are heading south for an overnight stay and shopping to take advantage of new cross-border allowances and the high dollar. Cross-border trips in June, the first month the higher exemptions took effect, were up to levels not seen since 1972. Back then, the dollar was also above par, and gas prices were low. It seems many are willing to spend the time in border lineups and pay for the extra gas to save on a variety of items. The downside is that local retailers take a hit, and when they do, they cut back on costs – such as new hires. And those much-hated taxes (which pay for health, education and other important programs) take a hit, as well. Also, local business owners play major roles in sponsoring myriad local activities and initiatives, such as youth sports teams and charitable causes. As revenues decline, so does the ability of businesses to give back to the community. Canadians are understandably looking for bargains. But there is a point when the lure of cheaper U.S. products comes back to haunt them. A long-term decline in retail jobs and declining tax revenue can do major damage to the B.C. economy. Tax shortfalls must be made up somewhere, so that means everyone (including cross-border shoppers) will pay more. The federal government encouraged this flow of dollars to the south, with the cross-border allowance changes. Now it’s incumbent upon the same government to address factors such as high import tariffs that impede the competitiveness of many Canadian business.
Studying pipeline projects to death
B.C. Views
Tom Fletcher NDP leader Adrian Dix has announced that one of his first acts as premier would be to withdraw B.C. from the joint review of the Enbridge pipeline proposal from Alberta to Kitimat. The two-year federal-led review will be mostly done by next May, but Dix proposes to start a new provincial assessment to examine at the B.C. portion. He doesn’t know how much it would cost, and under questioning he all but admitted the intention is to study the pipeline to death. Fresh from a summer tour of the pipeline route to reaffirm solidarity with its opponents, Dix is hardly in a position to consider anything but maximum resistance. As Premier
OFFICE HOURS Mon.Wed. & Fri. 9 a.m. 5 p.m.
Christy Clark did in her showdown with Alberta over benefits, Dix hinted that provincial permits for river and wildlife crossings would be made as expensive as possible, if not refused. The same fate awaits the Kinder Morgan plan to twin the existing Trans-Mountain oil pipeline to Burnaby. Dix left the impression that he would undo the years of work that have gone into bringing some rational sense to environmental approvals that can be, and have been, dragged out for years. The B.C. hearings would provide another platform for opponents, and more complaints to justify refusal at the provincial level, to go along with court cases and direct-action protests. Speaking of which, the frontal assault by agitators at the federal Enbridge hearings has mostly petered out. After 4,000-odd people were signed up to speak, most didn’t bother, and some hearings were cancelled. Apparently slacktivists such as “Jona-

than L. Seagull” and “Cave Man” didn’t make it out of their Vancouver basement suites to tell the panel oil is bad. Professional environmentalists are now wringing their hands over Ottawa’s decision to leave smaller-scale reviews to the province.
“...Dix is hardly in a position to consider anything but maximum resistance.” This means, for example, that there won’t be a duplicate federal review of the urgently needed refit of the John Hart Dam on the Campbell River. One reader suggested that environmental pioneer Roderick HaigBrown is still spinning in his grave over the damming of this legendary

salmon river. Perhaps, but that was in 1947. Does it make sense today to lard pointless bureaucracy onto a reconstruction that replaces wooden pipes and provides earthquake protection, without expanding river impact? NDP environment critic Rob Fleming hammered away at the B.C. Liberals about this in the spring, reminding them that Auditor General John Doyle had exposed a lack of resources in the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office, even before Ottawa’s changes. Fleming makes it sound like a huge new burden has been dumped on B.C. False. Provincial assessment already must be done with the participation of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Transport Canada, the provincial ministries of natural resources and energy and mines, and of course aboriginal communities. This is why it’s so long and expensive. And don’t be fooled into believing

that a federal review would go out and count the tadpoles and caribou again. It’s only the desk jobs that have proliferated. There weren’t just two levels of duplicate review, but three. Earlier in their mandate, the B.C. Liberals exempted major projects such as mines and energy generation from local government control, citing the “provincial interest” similar to the federal authority over projects that cross provincial borders. I agree with the NDP that B.C. environmental assessment needs more resources, in particular to do the follow-up on approved projects, as called for by the auditor general. Forest management needs more money too. All the more reason not to waste resources on political gestures.

Refinery would create local jobs it here in B.C. and shipping them the finished product? This is a strategy that would create local jobs for our own citizens and address the environmental concerns around oil tankers travelling in B.C.’s coastal waters. I know for a fact that Alberta wants to do this because I worked on a project in East Edmonton (a stone’s throw from the refineries in Fort Saskatchewan) that would have seen it become
a reality. And as long as Enbridge meets the conditions and standards set out by the premier, moving heavy oil from Alberta through a pipeline would be a heck of a lot better than shipping it by rail or truck. That’s why B.C. should be working with Alberta on exactly the kind of joint interprovincial venture David Black is proposing, a venture that would bring valueadded tertiary oil refining to
B.C. along with the heavy oil pipeline. Shipping gasoline, jet fuel and other refined oil products by tanker is just as practical as shipping crude oil and lot safer from an environmental standpoint. So let’s not waste this opportunity and the revenue and jobs it could bring to our province. There’s a lot we could do here in B.C. with a piece of the oil industry pie. Roop Virk
ICBC being treated Liberal cash cow tablished on March 1, 1974, British Columbians have enjoyed reduced insurance fraud, safer roads and lower rates. Part of this is because, ICBC was designed to operate on a non-profit, break-even basis. So where is the real issue? Executive salaries at ICBC are too high and should be dealt with, but that’s only exacerbated in the private sector. The biggest problem at ICBC, is that
Taxpayers deserve an explanation
Here we have a shocking example of the Peter Principle! In reading the analysis of the grossly overinflated management structure and the salaries, bonuses and other perks being paid to senior managers of this Crown Corporation, the question arises as to the seeming lack of accountability exercised by the Minister responsible. Heads will undoubtedly roll and the sooner the better! No wonder that our car insurance rates are rising. Once this mismanagement mess is cleared up, perhaps some of the funds can be directed to lowering our rates? The taxpayers deserve a full investigation and some truthful explanations! Don Stevenson

the government hasn’t stayed true to ICBC’s break-even mandate. Christy Clark’s government is treating ICBC as their cash cow, raiding over $1.2 billion from the corporation’s coffers even as they ask ICBC workers to continue their wage freeze and B.C. drivers to pay higher insurance premiums. That money isn’t even going into improving roads or transportation – it’s going into general revenue. If there are any savings coming out of the
government review, how do we know they won’t just be funneled right back into government coffers? British Columbians need to know savings will be used to reduce rates for drivers and keep the unionized workforce at ICBC from falling further behind. When Manitoba’s public insurer was found to have overcharged its customers, they gave everyone a rebate. The government’s mismanagement of

ICBC president Jon Schubert will step down and the public auto insurer is pledging reforms after a provincial audit found executive pay had soared far too high. The finance ministry review found ICBC was “not aligned” with the province’s cost-containment priorities and recommended ICBC reduce the number of managers and their pay to levels more consistent with what existed in 2008. “A culture of cost-containment and financial discipline has been lacking in recent years,” it said, adding expense policies were “generous.” ICBC had 13 top managers paid more than $200,000 a year in 2007, but that had more than quadrupled to 54 by 2011. The report also noted there are more than 1,291 other managers and employees earning $75,000 to $200,000 – up 52 per cent from 848 in that bracket in 2007. Despite a 2011 policy change denying bonuses if ICBC profits fail to top $35 million, more than 85 per cent of management still got at least threequarters of their eligible bonus that year. The review said the profit target for allowing bonuses is “unreasonably low” because ICBC hasn’t earned less than

Hope’s own Gabriella Kim held on to her title for overall low gross for the third straight year with a two-day score of 172 at the annual Hope Ladies’ Open last weekend. Kim, who was born in Seoul, Korea, didn’t start golfing until well into middle age. She and family moved to Hope in 1992, when they bought the Inn Towne Motel, but it wasn’t until 1994 that she got hooked on golf. Never having a formal lesson, her secret to consistency and accuracy on the course is golfing three or four times a week — and experimenting with different techniques. “Try different things to see what will be better for you,” said Kim, who also won the tournament in 2003 and 2005. Kim joins a list of winners dating back 36 years from the beginning of the Ladies’ Open. The amateur golf tournament, originally a one-day event, was started in 1975 by Rena Titmus, who worked for Emil Anderson Construction. Mary Adams was the first Hope player to win in 1987. Hope players fared better winning the Finning Trophy for low net, also started in 1975. Katy Westbrook, 1977; Mary Romano, 1980; Gladys Anderson, 1982 and 1989; Marg Dollis, 1985 and 1992; Elaine Marych, 1986; Ernestine Pritchard, 1987; and Colleen Knight, 1999 all shared champion status. Ninety-five golfers from as far away as Calgary enjoyed fine weather and great golfing conditions over the weekend. Even though groundskeeper Rod MacDonnell kept the course in excellent shape, golfers were allowed to lift, clean, and place their
ball on the fairway due to damage caused by flooding earlier this year. After a full day of golf on Saturday, golfers enjoyed a banquet prepared by chef Kerry Krahn and his staff, then sang and danced to the lively music of Ron Ulrich. Thirty-four net and gross prizes were awarded on Sunday evening, along with prizes for deuces, including an eagle deuce – a score of two on a par four – nailed by Nonie Schmid of Surrey. Bob Hasell presented the Emil Anderson Trophy to Kim, and the Finning Canada Trophy for overall low net to Linda Bougie from Delta for her score of 136. Hope ladies held their own by receiving nine out of 34 net and gross prizes. Local winners included Heather Sirianni, first low gross in the first flight with a score of 175; Jenny Chung, first low gross in the third flight; and Angela Kim, first low net in the first flight. Ellen Poole won second low gross in the third flight, while Tama Kawase took second low net in the third flight. Colleen Knight took fourth low gross in the second flight, and Pam Smith bagged fourth low gross in the fourth flight. Shelley Simpson won fourth low net in the second flight. Jenny Chung took a KP prize on No. 9 on Saturday, Kathleen Nex powered out the longest drive for her flight on No. 8 on Saturday, and Alice Woods won “Closest to the Line” for her flight on No. 8 on Sunday. The tournament was coordinated by Lois McConville and Keren Hasell, and Heather Sirianni was the MC.
