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 Aug. 15 because DFO wan't

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.
