The Indian Food Fishery now will be one day each week probably through to the end of October. Ken Malloway, president of Nation Canada and chairman of the "Some of our chiefs didn't agree with it and won't agree with it," says Clarence Pennier, chairman of the Tribal Council. "They have said they will be out fishing" all three days each week. Pennier said he believes the Interior Indian Fisheries Commission "had their reasons" for agreeing too the cutback, however.

The Ministry of the Environment commended the natives "for their rapid response to this serious problem. "This action complements the imposition of catch-and-release fishing for sport fishermen, and the commercial fishing plan, which actively protects steelhead in the Fraser system." Interior Indian Fisheries Commission, supported the agreement. For the past four years, Malloway has monitored native steelhead catches to provide data for the Ministry of the Environment. The ministry has also been monitoring the commerical and sport fisheries. "Results of the work indicated a need for immediate action to protect this unique stock of fish," the ministry said.

"It was also apparent that all user groups shared some responsibility for the decline in numbers." These closures are unique in that they were made with the consent of a major native group. "We're hoping that the other user groups realize that its a sacrifice for our people. We didn't make everybody happy by agreeing to it."

Welding torches apparently sparked a fire in the plant's boiler room.

The fire caught in the walls and began spreading rapidly. Employees, including two volunteer firefighters, helped evacuate the other workers from the building before returning to fight the blaze. All the employees were outside, and volunteer firefighters Doug Perry and Martin McGrath had almost brought the fire under control by the time the Chilliwack Fire Department arrived at the scene, Chief Tom Beer said. The fire quickly spread from the wall to the ceiling and could have caused considerable damage to older, wooden portions of the building, Beer said.
