and he had been told the

happen would be August f.

Even if that were to hap-:
pen, the department would
look at a number of factors
— including whether this
year’s run has any surplus —
before allowing the fishery to
take place, said Hipp, .

He added that the season
would be very short and pro-
bably not extend beyond

_ Tragedy takes life

SEARCHERS probed the icy waters of.a.pond off-Orde Road for.as _

long 'as 40 minutes before pulling out the six-year-old boy who fell
in. A rowboat was used while RCMP constables and firefighters
waded in, knowing every minute would count. Some became vic-
tims of hypothermia in the race to find the child.

TERRACE -—- The frantic
rescue of a six-year-old bay
from an ice-covered pond ended
in tragedy Friday when doctors
were unable to revive him.

RCMP identified the drown-
ed boy as Joseph Daniel Par-
sons, of Terrace.

The boy and his eight-year-
old brother fell through the ice
at around 3:20 p.m, The older
brother was able to get out.

Nearly 30 firefighters, police
officers and ambulance atten-
dants took part in the séirch-in
the pond behind Samson's
Poultry Farm on North Eby.

“One of them got out and the
other one didn’t,” said one man

on the scene of the incident,

RCMP officers used an
aluminum boat, but the cloud-
ed, muddy waters hampered at-
tempts to locate the child.

Rescuers probed the murky
depths of the pond with poles
for what witnesses said seemed
like an impossible length of
time. Divers had just arrived
when the child was pulled from
the frigid water — afier being
underwater approximately 40
minutes,- © ~ -

The-~child- was: given - im-
mediate mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation and was rushed to
Mills Memorial Hospital, where
doctors continued efforts to

revive him for more than two
hours before he was pronounc-
ed dead. -
‘‘All you can really do is use
the poles and do your best,’’
Terrace firefighter Ray
Tremblay said of the efforts to
locate the child. ““We were just
hoping to get him out of the
water as quickly as possible,”’
It was hoped the cold water
meant a phenomenon called
“diver’s reflex’? might occur. In
certain circumstances people
trapped in ice-cold-water go into
a Form of suspended animation,
from which they can sometimes
be revived even after long
periods underwater.
